これにより、第２制御が設定される遊技状態であっても、第１遊技状態であるか第２遊技状態であるかによって有利度合いが高くなる遊技方法を異ならせることができるので、第２制御が設定された場合に、第１遊技状態であるか第２遊技状態であるかを判断して、対応する遊技方法を選択させる斬新な遊技性を実現することができるという効果がある。
技術的思想４記載の遊技機によれば、技術的思想３記載の遊技機の奏する効果に加え、前記第１遊技状態において前記特定条件が成立したことに基づいて、前記第１遊技状態よりも有利度合いが低い状態を形成可能であり、前記第２遊技状態において前記特定条件が成立したことに基づいて、前記第２遊技状態よりも有利度合いが高い状態を形成可能である。
これにより、第１遊技状態では、特定条件が成立しないことを期待させることができる一方で、第２遊技状態では特定条件が早期に成立することを期待させる斬新な遊技性を実現することができるので、遊技者の遊技に対する興趣をより向上させることができるという効果がある。
技術的思想５記載の遊技機によれば、技術的思想１から４のいずれかに記載の遊技機の奏する効果に加え、遊技球を第１方向と、その第１方向とは異なる第２方向と、を少なくとも含む複数のうちいずれかの方向へと発射可能な発射手段を備え、前記入球手段は、前記第１方向へと発射された遊技球が入球困難な位置であって前記第２方向へと発射された遊技球が入球可能な位置に設けられており、前記第１の遊技方法は、前記第１方向へと遊技球を発射する遊技方法であり、前記第２の遊技方法は、前記第２方向へと遊技球を発射する遊技方法である。
これにより、遊技球の発射方向を調節することで、第１の遊技方法で遊技を行うか第２の遊技方法で遊技を行うかを遊技者が容易に選択することができるので、遊技者の利便性を向上させることができるという効果がある。 In any of the above-mentioned gaming machines, gaming machine Z3 is characterized in that the gaming machine is a combination of a pachinko gaming machine and a slot machine.
