Subsequently, the main CPU 112 determines whether or not the extension 1 flag is set (S24). Here, the extension 1 flag is a flag indicating that the game ball has won the middle start opening 22 when the big winning openings 31a, 32a are open.
Here, when it is determined that the extension 1 flag is set (S24: Yes), the opening time tb of the special winning openings 31a and 32a is set to 1.0 second (S26). That is, the normal opening time ta of 0.5 seconds is further extended by 0.5 seconds.
[0031]
Subsequently, the main CPU 112 resets the extension 1 flag (S28), and resets the time tc to 0 (S30). When determining that the extension 1 flag is not set (S24: No), the main CPU 112 determines whether or not the extension 2 flag is set (S32). Here, the extension 2 flag is a flag indicating that the game ball has won the right start opening 20 or the left start opening 21 when the big winning openings 31a, 32a are open.
Here, when it is determined that the extension 2 flag is set (S32: Yes), the opening time tb of the special winning openings 31a and 32a is set to 0.9 seconds (S34). That is, the normal opening time ta of 0.5 seconds is further extended by 0.4 seconds.
Subsequently, the main CPU 112 resets the extension 2 flag (S36), and resets the time tc to 0 (S38). When the main CPU 112 determines that the extension 2 flag is not set (S32: No), the main CPU 112 sets the opening time tb of the special winning openings 31a and 32a to 0.5 seconds of the normal opening time ta ( S38).
[0032]
If the main CPU 112 determines that the middle start port switch 22a is not turned on (S20: No), the main CPU 112 determines whether the right start port switch 20a or the left start port switch 21a is turned on (S40). . Here, if it is determined that it has been turned on (S40: Yes), the number of times of opening n is set to "1" (S42). Subsequently, the main CPU 112 determines whether or not the extension 1 flag is set (S44). If it is determined that the extension 1 flag is set (S44: Yes), the opening time tb of the special winning openings 31a and 32a is set to 0. .9 seconds are set (S46). That is, the normal opening time ta of 0.4 seconds is further extended by 0.5 seconds.
Subsequently, the main CPU 112 resets the extension 1 flag (S48), and resets the time tc to 0 (S50). When determining that the extension 1 flag is not set (S44: No), the main CPU 112 determines whether or not the extension 2 flag is set (S52). Here, when it is determined that the extension 2 flag is set (S52: Yes), the opening time tb of the special winning openings 31a and 32a is set to 0.8 seconds (S54). That is, the normal opening time ta of 0.4 seconds is further extended by 0.4 seconds.
Subsequently, the main CPU 112 resets the extension 2 flag (S56), and resets the time tc to 0 (S58). When the main CPU 112 determines that the extension 2 flag is not set (S52: No), the main CPU 112 sets the opening time tb of the special winning openings 31a and 32a to 0.4 seconds of the normal opening time ta ( S60).
[0033]
The main CPU 112 having set the opening time tb as described above turns on the special prize opening solenoid 38 (S62), and subtracts "1" from the number of times of opening n (S64). As a result, the opening and closing members 31 and 32 are opened in the lateral direction, and the special winning openings 31a and 32a are opened (FIG. 3).
Then, the main CPU 112 determines that the special winning openings 31a and 32a are being opened (S10: Yes), and determines whether or not the opening time tb is “0” (S66 in FIG. 7). Here, when it is determined that the opening time tb is not “0” (S66: No), whether or not the middle start opening switch 22a is turned on, that is, when the big winning openings 31a and 32a are open. It is then determined whether or not the game ball has won the middle start port 22 (S68). If it is determined that the middle start port switch 22a is turned on (S68: Yes), the extension 1 flag is set (S70).
When the main CPU 112 determines that the middle start port switch 22a is not turned on (S68: No), whether or not the right start port switch 20a or the left start port switch 21a is turned on, that is, the game ball is moved to the right. It is determined whether or not a winning is made at the starting port 20 or the left starting port 21 (S72). If it is determined that the right start port switch 20a or the left start port switch 21a is turned on (S72: Yes), the extension 2 flag is set (S74).
[0034]
If the main CPU 112 determines that the opening time tb has become “0” (S66: Yes), the main winning opening solenoid 38 is turned off (S76), and whether or not the number n of times of opening has become “0”. Is determined (S78 :). Here, when it is determined that the time has reached “0” (S78: Yes), the time tc is reset to “0” (S80), and the measurement of the time tc is started (S82). Thereby, the time limit indicator 40 displays “30” indicating 30 seconds, and starts countdown in units of 1 second.
When the main CPU 112 determines that the specific area detection switch 34a is turned on (S18: Yes), the main CPU 112 sets a big hit flag indicating the occurrence of the big hit (S84) and executes the big hit processing (S86). When the main CPU 112 executes this jackpot process, the opening and closing members 31 and 32 are opened and closed continuously for 18 times. The opening and closing operation of 18 times is regarded as one round, and the game ball moves through the specific area 34 during the round. Once passed, the game can be executed again from the first round, and a maximum of 15 rounds can be played on condition that the game ball passes the specific area 34 during the round.
Note that a computer program for executing the special winning a prize opening process is recorded in the ROM 114.

The flowing game ball passes through the special device operation determination symbol gate 94 with a probability of about 1/3. The game ball that has passed through is stopped at the special device operation area guiding section 96.
When the game ball passes the special device operation determination symbol gate 94, the special device operation determination symbol display device 92 starts to display the variation of the determination symbol. Then, after the predetermined time, the variation display of the determination symbol is stopped, and when the determination symbol that is confirmed and displayed at that time is a predetermined symbol (for example, “3” or “7”), the special device operation region guiding unit 96 The operation is started, and the game ball stopped in the special device operation region guiding portion 96 passes through the special device operation region 97.
[0039]
Then, when the game ball stops in the recess 99a provided in the rotating body 99, the game ball is carried downward by the rotating body 99 and wins a third type starting port (not shown). As a result, the third type special electric accessory 102 opens the blade-shaped wings, and the special winning opening 101 opens.
Then, when a predetermined time (for example, 9 seconds) elapses after the big winning opening 101 is opened, or when nine game balls are won in the big winning opening 101, the big winning opening 101 is closed.
In addition, when the winning ball relating to the ordinary electric accessory 91 is open, if the game ball wins the ordinary electric accessory operating port 95, the gaming ball is returned to the ordinary electric accessory within the time limit (for example, 30 seconds). When winning the product operating port 95, the opening time of the winning port related to the ordinary electric accessory 91 is extended from the normal opening time. For example, a normal opening time of 0.3 seconds is extended to 0.6 seconds.
