[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a third-class gaming machine, a third-class starting area becomes effective when a right is generated by the establishment of a predetermined condition. When the third type starting area becomes effective, the special winning opening is opened by winning the starting area. The opened big winning opening is closed after 10 seconds have passed or when 10 balls have been won. A so-called round from the opening of the special winning opening to the closing of the winning area in the starting area is repeated a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times).

Here, if there is a winning in the next starting opening during the opening of the big winning opening, the process proceeds to the next round, and the number of rounds decreases. To avoid such a disadvantage to the player,
A rotating body is generally used as the starting area. That is, by setting the rotating body to one rotation for 10 seconds or more, the next winning award does not occur within 10 seconds after the winning at the starting opening, and the opening time of 10 seconds at the big winning opening is secured. .
