【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、役物に設けられる可動片が複数とされた入賞装置を備えたパチンコ機に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来のパチンコ機の一例として、遊技球を特定入賞口（Ｖゾーン）に誘導可能な２つの可動片を左側及び右側にそれぞれ有する第２種特別電動役物を遊技盤の略中央部に設け、左側の２つの可動片及び右側の２つの可動片を左右対称に配置したものがある（実開平７−９３８１号公報参照）。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、パチンコ機では限られた遊技領域において種々の遊技上の演出を図り遊技性の向上を図ることが望まれている。
一方、上記従来技術では、左側及び右側の２つの可動片が左右対称に配置されており、遊技する上で、遊技球が遊技領域の左側から入賞する場合と、右側から入賞する場合において、特定入賞口（Ｖゾーン）への入賞率はほとんど同じであり、遊技性の向上を図る上で、限られた遊技領域を十分には生かしきれていないというのが実情であった。
【０００４】
本発明は、上記事情に鑑みてなされたもので、遊技性の向上を図ることができるパチンコ機を提供することを目的とする。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項１記載の発明は、開閉自在であり、開くことにより遊技球を内部に入球可能な可動片を左右両側に有する入賞装置を備え、遊技球が始動入賞口に入球することにより前記可動片を開作動させ、かつ遊技球が前記入賞装置の内部に設けられた特定入賞口に入賞することにより大当り状態となるパチンコ機であって、前記入賞装置は、図柄表示部を備え、前記可動片は、１枚の右側可動片と第１、第２の２枚の左側可動片とから構成され、前記特定入賞口及び前記特定入賞口に隣接して設けられた普通入賞口を部分的に遮るように第１誘導板が配置され、前記入賞装置における前記第１誘導板の上側に配置され前記入賞装置が備えるプレートに接合された誘導物の上側で前記第１左側可動片及び前記右側可動片と略同等の高さ位置には、前記第１左側可動片から前記右側可動片まで略延びるように第２誘導板が配置され、該第２誘導板の右側可動片側には、遊技球が通過する誘導板切欠が形成され、前記プレートの左、右側に個別に並設された第１、第２支持板には、前記第１、第２左側可動片及び右側可動片に対応して、左側第１、第２切欠部及び右側切欠部が形成され、前記プレートにおける前記第２誘導板の略中央部分に対応した部分には、第２誘導板側開口部が形成され、前記第２誘導板は前記左側第１切欠部からの遊技球を前記第２誘導板側開口部及び前記誘導板切欠に案内すると共に、前記右側切欠部からの遊技球については大部分を前記誘導板切欠に案内し、前記第２誘導板側開口部には、出口が特定入賞口に臨むように設けられるＶゾーン通路が接続され、前記第１、第２左側可動片及び前記右側可動片に対応して左側第１、第２大入賞口及び右側大入賞口が設けられ、前記第１左側可動片が開いて前記左側第１大入賞口が開放され遊技球が前記左側第１大入賞口に入賞すると、該遊技球は、前記第２誘導板に案内されて前記第２誘導板側開口部に入球し、前記Ｖゾーン通路を通って前記特定入賞口に誘導されるように形成される第１玉経路と、前記第１左側可動片が開いて前記左側第１大入賞口が開放され遊技球が前記左側第１大入賞口に入賞すると、該遊技球は、第２誘導板に案内され前記第２誘導板側開口部に入球せず、前記誘導板切欠に案内されて前記誘導板切欠から前記誘導物側に落下するように形成される第２玉経路と、前記誘導物から前記第１誘導板を介して遊技球が前記特定入賞口に至る第３玉経路と、前記誘導物から前記第１誘導板を介して遊技球が普通入賞口に至る第４玉経路と、が設けられ、前記第１左側可動片が開いて前記左側第１大入賞口が開放され遊技球が前記左側第１大入賞口に入賞すると、該遊技球は、第２誘導板に案内された後、前記第１玉経路または前記第２玉経路を通り、前記第１玉経路を通った場合は前記特定入賞口に入賞し、前記第２玉経路を通った場合は、さらに前記第３玉経路または前記第４玉経路を通り、前記第３玉経路を通った場合は前記特定入賞口に入賞し、前記第４玉経路を通った場合は前記普通入賞口に入賞し、前記右側可動片が開いて前記右側大入賞口が開放され遊技球が前記右側大入賞口に入賞すると、該遊技球は、第２誘導板に案内された後、前記第１玉経路または前記第２玉経路を通り、前記左側第２可動片が開いて前記左側第２大入賞口が開放され遊技球が前記左側第２大入賞口に入賞すると、該遊技球は、前記誘導物に当接し、前記誘導物によりその落下速度や方向が変えられた後、前記第３玉経路を通り前記特定入賞口に入賞するか、または前記第４玉経路を通り前記普通入賞口に入賞し、前記遊技球が前記特定入賞口に入賞することにより前記図柄表示部に可動片の開放パターンを決定するパターン決定図柄が選択的に表示され、前記図柄表示部に第１の図柄が表示された場合、前記第１、第２左側可動片及び前記右側可動片を開作動させ、第２の図柄が表示された場合、前記第１左側可動片及び前記右側可動片を開作動させ、第３の図柄が表示された場合、前記第１左側可動片を開作動させ、前記第１左側可動片が開いて前記左側第１大入賞口が開放されて遊技球が入賞する場合及び前記右側可動片が開いて右側大入賞口が開放され遊技球が入賞する場合の方が、前記第２左側可動片が開いて前記左側第２大入賞口が開放され遊技球が入賞する場合に比して、前記遊技球の前記特定入賞口への入賞確率が高くされていることを特徴とする。
【０００８】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の第１実施の形態に係るパチンコ機を図１及び図２に基づいて説明する。
図１及び図２において、パチンコ機１の遊技盤２の前面には、誘導レール３が円形渦巻状に設けられており、内側に遊技領域４を形成している。誘導レール３は、図示しない発射機構により打ち出された遊技球を遊技盤２の左側上部から前記遊技領域４へ送り出すようにしている。
【０００９】
遊技盤２の遊技領域４の中央部には、可変入賞装置５（入賞装置）が設けられている。また、遊技領域４の下側部分には、３つの第２種始動口が横方向に並んで設けられている。以下、３つの第２種始動口（以下、単に始動口という）のうち左側のものを左側始動口６、右側のものを右側始動口７といい、中央のものを中央始動口８という。さらに、遊技領域４には、風車９及び図示しない釘などの遊技用部材１０が複数設けられている。
左側始動口６、右側始動口７、中央始動口８には、それぞれに遊技球が入賞するとオン作動するセンサ（それぞれに対応して、以下、左側始動口用センサ６ａ、右側始動口用センサ７ａ、中央始動口用センサ８ａという。）が設けられている。
【００１０】
可変入賞装置５は、プレート１１を備え、このプレート１１を遊技盤２に重ね合わせ、ビスなどの固定部材（図示省略）を用いて遊技盤２に着脱自在に固定されている。プレート１１には、図示しないガラス板に略達する高さの２枚の板（図２左側の板を第１支持板１２といい、右側の板を第２支持板１３という。）が所定距離空けて上下方向に延びるように並設されている。
【００１１】
第１支持板１２及び第２支持板１３の一端部（図２上側の端部）に搭載されるように、図柄表示装置の表示器１４が設けられている。
【００１２】
第１支持板１２の先端部（図示しないガラス板側）には、上下方向に並んで２つの切欠部が形成されている。図２上側の切欠部を左側第１切欠部１５といい、下側の切欠部を左側第２切欠部１６という。第２支持板１３の先端部（図示しないガラス板側）における前記左側第１切欠部１５と略同等高さの部分には、切欠部（以下、右側切欠部１７という。）が形成されている。
第１支持板１２の左側第１切欠部１５、左側第２切欠部１６及び第２支持板１３の右側切欠部１７には、それぞれ支持軸１９が設けられている。
【００１３】
各支持軸１９には、ソレノイドなどの後述するアクチュエータに駆動される同等形状の可動片が回動可能に設けられている。左側第１切欠部１５に対応する可動片を左側第１可動片２０といい、左側第２切欠部１６に対応する可動片を左側第２可動片２１といい、第２支持板１３の右側切欠部１７に対応する可動片を右側可動片２２という。
【００１４】
左側第１可動片２０及び左側第２可動片２１にそれぞれ対応して第１支持板１２には大入賞口（以下、左側第１可動片２０に対応するものを左側第１大入賞口２０ａといい、左側第２可動片２１に対応するものを左側第２大入賞口２１ａという。）が設けられている。また、右側可動片２２に対応して第２支持板１３には大入賞口（以下、右側大入賞口２２ａという。）が設けられている。
【００１５】
左側第１大入賞口２０ａ、左側第２大入賞口２１ａ及び右側大入賞口２２ａには、それぞれスイッチが設けられている。左側第１大入賞口２０ａに対応するスイッチを左側第１スイッチ２０ｂといい、左側第２大入賞口２１ａに対応するスイッチを左側第２スイッチ２１ｂといい、右側大入賞口２２ａに対応するスイッチを右側スイッチ２２ｂという。左側第１スイッチ２０ｂ、左側第２スイッチ２１ｂ及び右側スイッチ２２ｂは、それぞれ、遊技球が左側第１大入賞口２０ａ、左側第２大入賞口２１ａ及び右側大入賞口２２ａを通過することを検出するようにしている。
【００１６】
左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２は、それぞれ常時は略立ち上がった状態（左側第１大入賞口２０ａ、左側第２大入賞口２１ａ及び右側大入賞口２２ａをそれぞれ閉じた状態）にされて遊技球が可変入賞装置５の内側領域（第１支持板１２及び第２支持板１３などにより囲まれた領域）に入り込むことを抑えるようにしている。また、左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２は、それぞれアクチュエータに駆動されて、図２に示すように横臥した状態（左側第１大入賞口２０ａ、左側第２大入賞口２１ａ及び右側大入賞口２２ａをそれぞれ開いた状態）にされ、遊技球を左側第１大入賞口２０ａ、左側第２大入賞口２１ａ及び右側大入賞口２２ａへ案内し、Ｖゾーン３０への入賞を期待できるものにしている。
【００１７】
この場合、左側第１可動片２０が開状態である場合、左側第２可動片２１が開状態である場合及び右側可動片２２が開状態である場合を比較すると、後述するように、左側第１可動片２０が開状態である場合及び右側可動片２２が開状態である場合の方が、左側第２可動片２１が開状態である場合に比して、Ｖゾーン３０（特定入賞口）に対する入賞確率が高いものになっている。
前記左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２を駆動するアクチュエータを、以下、それぞれ、左側第１アクチュエータ２０ｃ、左側第２アクチュエータ２１ｃ及び右側アクチュエータ２２ｃという。
【００１８】
可変入賞装置５は、その下部側（第１、第２支持板１２，１３の下側端部側）に特定入賞口（Ｖゾーン３０）を備えている。Ｖゾーン３０に隣接してその左右に２つの普通入賞口３１が設けられている。Ｖゾーン３０、普通入賞口３１を部分的に遮るように第１誘導板３３が配置されている。
【００１９】
Ｖゾーン３０及び普通入賞口３１には、それぞれ遊技球を検出するための図示しない検出センサが設けられている。
また、このパチンコ機１には、Ｖゾーン３０の遊技球の通過に応じて作動する役物連続作動装置（図示省略）が設けられている。
【００２０】
可変入賞装置５における第１誘導板３３の上側には、円柱物３２ａの側部に板３２ｂを腕状に延設した形状の誘導物３２が、円柱物３２ａの一端部をプレート１１に接合し、両板３２ｂを左右に延ばして設けられている。誘導物３２は、左側第２可動片２１と略同等の高さ位置に設けられている。
板３２ｂとガラス板との間には、遊技球を通過し得る空間部（符号省略）が形成されている。
【００２１】
誘導物３２の上側における左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２と略同等の高さ位置には、左側第２可動片２１から右側可動片２２まで略延びるように第２誘導板３４が配置されている。第２誘導板３４の右側可動片２２側におけるガラス板側部分には、切欠（誘導板切欠３５）が形成されており、誘導板切欠３５を通して遊技球が通過し得るようになっている。第２誘導板３４は左側第１切欠部１５からの遊技球を後述する第２誘導板側開口部３６及び誘導板切欠３５に案内すると共に、右側切欠部１７からの遊技球については大部分を誘導板切欠３５に案内するようにしている。
【００２２】
プレート１１における第２誘導板３４の略中央部分に対応した部分には、前記第２誘導板側開口部３６が形成されている。第２誘導板側開口部３６には、出口がＶゾーン３０に臨むように設けられるＶゾーン通路３７が接続されている。Ｖゾーン通路３７は、第２誘導板側開口部３６に案内された遊技球を受けて、これをＶゾーン３０方向に案内して入賞させるようにしている。
【００２３】
左側第１可動片２０が開いて左側第１大入賞口２０ａが開放され、当該左側第１大入賞口２０ａから遊技球が入る（入賞する）と、遊技球は、第２誘導板３４に案内された後、第２誘導板側開口部３６に入球し、その後、Ｖゾーン通路３７を通ってＶゾーン３０に誘導される（この玉経路を、以下、便宜上、第１玉経路Ｒ１という。）か、または、第２誘導板側開口部３６に入球せず、誘導板切欠３５に案内されて当該誘導板切欠３５から誘導物３２側に落下するこの玉経路を、以下、便宜上、第２玉経路Ｒ２という。）。
【００２４】
誘導物３２側に落下した遊技球は、誘導物３２によりその落下速度や方向が変えられた後、第１誘導板３３を介してＶゾーン３０または普通入賞口３１に入賞する。この場合、誘導物３２及び第１誘導板３３の形状、大きさ及び配置などを調整し、Ｖゾーン３０より普通入賞口３１に入賞しやすいようにしている。
以下、便宜上、誘導物３２から第１誘導板３３を介したＶゾーン３０に至る玉経路を第３玉経路Ｒ３といい、誘導物３２から第１誘導板３３を介した普通入賞口３１に至る玉経路を第４玉経路Ｒ４という。
【００２５】
また、右側可動片２２が開いて右側大入賞口２２ａが開放されて、当該右側大入賞口２２ａから遊技球が入る（入賞する）と、遊技球は、第２誘導板３４に案内された後、前記左側第１大入賞口２０ａから遊技球が入賞した場合と同様に、第１玉経路Ｒ１または第２玉経路Ｒ２を通ることになる。
【００２６】
また、左側第２可動片２１が開いて左側第２大入賞口２１ａが開放されて、当該左側第２大入賞口２１ａから遊技球が入る（入賞する）と、遊技球は、誘導物３２に当接し、誘導物３２によりその落下速度や方向が変えられた後、上述したように第３玉経路Ｒ３を通りＶゾーン３０に入賞するか、または第４玉経路Ｒ４を通り普通入賞口３１に入賞することになる。
【００２７】
上述したように、誘導物３２及び第１誘導板３３の形状、大きさ及び配置などを調整し、Ｖゾーン３０より普通入賞口３１に入賞しやすいようにしていることから、上述したように左側第１可動片２０が開状態である場合及び右側可動片２２が開状態である場合の方が、左側第２可動片２１が開状態である場合に比して、Ｖゾーン３０（特定入賞口）に対する入賞確率が高いものになっている。
【００２８】
左側始動口用センサ６ａ、右側始動口用センサ７ａ、中央始動口用センサ８ａ、左側第１アクチュエータ２０ｃ、左側第２アクチュエータ２１ｃ及び右側アクチュエータ２２ｃ等にコントローラ４０が接続されており、左側始動口用センサ６ａ、右側始動口用センサ７ａ、中央始動口用センサ８ａのオン作動に対して、次の（１）〜（３）のようにアクチュエータ（左側第１アクチュエータ２０ｃ、左側第２アクチュエータ２１ｃ、右側アクチュエータ２２ｃ）が駆動されるようにしている。
次の（１）〜（３）のようにアクチュエータを駆動することにより、始動口（左側始動口６、右側始動口７、中央始動口８）のうちいずれに入賞したかにより、開放される可動片（左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２）が異なるようにしている。すなわち、いずれの始動口に入賞したかにより可動片（左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２）を異なるパターンで開放するようにしている。
【００２９】
（１）左側始動口用センサ６ａがオンする（遊技球が左側始動口６に入賞する）と、左側第２アクチュエータ２１ｃを駆動して左側第２可動片２１を開かせる。
（２）右側始動口用センサ７ａがオンする（遊技球が右側始動口７に入賞する）と、右側アクチュエータ２２ｃを駆動して右側可動片２２を開かせる。
（３）中央始動口用センサ８ａがオンする（遊技球が中央始動口８に入賞する）と、左側第１アクチュエータ２０ｃ、左側第２アクチュエータ２１ｃ及び右側アクチュエータ２２ｃを駆動して、左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２を開かせる。
【００３０】
上述したように左側第１可動片２０が開状態である場合及び右側可動片２２が開状態である場合の方が、左側第２可動片２１が開状態である場合に比して、Ｖゾーン３０（特定入賞口）に対する入賞確率が高いものになっていることから、前記（１）の場合〔左側始動口用センサ６ａがオンして（遊技球が左側始動口６に入賞して）左側第２可動片２１を開かせる場合〕は、Ｖゾーン３０に対する入賞確率が比較的低いものになっている。
【００３１】
上述したように構成したパチンコ機１では、遊技球を遊技領域４の左側を狙って飛ばした場合、遊技球が３つの始動口（左側始動口６、右側始動口７及び中央始動口８）のうち左側始動口６及び中央始動口８へ入賞する確率が高いものになる。そして、左側始動口６へ入賞した場合は、前記（１）に示すように左側第２可動片２１が開放され、また、中央始動口８へ入賞した場合は、前記（３）に示すように左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２が開放されることから、Ｖゾーン３０に対する入賞確率が比較的高いものになる。
【００３２】
一方、遊技球を遊技領域４の右側を狙って飛ばした場合、遊技球が３つの始動口（左側始動口６、右側始動口７及び中央始動口８）のうち右側始動口７及び中央始動口８へ入賞する確率が高いものになる。そして、右側始動口７へ入賞した場合は、前記（２）に示すように右側可動片２２が開放され、また、中央始動口８へ入賞した場合は、前記（３）に示すように左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２が開放される。このため、Ｖゾーン３０に対する入賞確率は、上述した遊技領域４の左側を狙って飛ばした場合に比しては低下するものの、上述したように右側可動片２２が開放されることから、左側第２可動片２１のみが開放された場合に比して高いレベルに維持される。
【００３３】
上述したように、遊技領域４の左側及び右側のいずれを狙って遊技球を飛ばしても、Ｖゾーン３０に対する入賞確率を比較的高い状態に維持しているので、遊技領域４の左側及び右側のいずれを狙って遊技球を飛ばす場合にも、特定入賞口（Ｖゾーン３０）の機能を十分生かすことが可能となり、その分、遊技性の向上を図ることができる。
【００３４】
また、前記（１）、（２）及び（３）に示すように、始動口（左側始動口６、右側始動口７、中央始動口８）のうちいずれに入賞したかにより、可動片（左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２）を異なるパターンで開放するようにしており、種々の遊技上の演出を図ることが可能であり、これにより興趣の向上を図ることができる。
【００３５】
上述したように構成したパチンコ機１では、可変入賞装置５の左側に左側第１可動片２０及び左側第２可動片２１を設ける一方、可変入賞装置５の右側に右側可動片２２を設けて、可変入賞装置５の左右側の可動片の枚数が異なるものになっている。このため、遊技領域４の左側及び右側において、遊技球の入賞確率について異なったものにしやすくなり、限られた遊技領域４において遊技上の演出に変化をもたせて遊技性の向上を図ることができる。
【００３６】
さらに、始動口（左側始動口６、右側始動口７及び中央始動口８）への入賞に対して開放される可動片（左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２）を異ならせている。このため、種々の遊技上の演出を図ることが可能であり、これにより興趣の向上を図ることができると共に、遊技領域４の左側及び右側のいずれを狙って遊技球を飛ばしても、Ｖゾーン３０（特定入賞口）に対する入賞確率が比較的高い状態に維持することも可能となる。この結果、遊技領域４の左側及び右側のいずれを狙って遊技球を飛ばす場合にも、特定入賞口（Ｖゾーン３０）の機能を十分生かすことが可能となり、その分、遊技性の向上を図ることができる。
【００３７】
また、上記第１実施の形態では、前記（１）、（２）及び（３）に示すように、開作動される可動片（左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２）の枚数が異なるようにしているので、その分、遊技上の演出の多様化を図ることが可能であり、ひいては遊技性の向上を図ることができる。
【００３８】
上記第１実施の形態では、始動口（左側始動口６、右側始動口７、中央始動口８）のうちいずれに入賞したかにより、前記（１）、（２）及び（３）に示すように可動片（左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２）を開作動する場合を例にしたが、開作動される可動片は、前記（１）、（２）及び（３）に示すものと異なるものとしてもよいし、開作動される可動片の枚数を異なるようにしてもよい。例えば、次の（１ａ）、（２ａ）及び（３ａ）に示すように設定することができる（便宜上、第２実施の形態という。）。
【００３９】
（１ａ）左側始動口用センサ６ａがオンする（遊技球が左側始動口６に入賞する）と、左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２のうちいずれか１枚を開放する。
（２ａ）右側始動口用センサ７ａがオンする（遊技球が右側始動口７に入賞する）と、左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２のうちいずれか２枚を開放する。
（３ａ）中央始動口用センサ８ａがオンする（遊技球が中央始動口８に入賞する）と、左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２の３枚全てを開放する。
【００４０】
この第２実施の形態によれば、（１ａ）左側始動口用センサ６ａがオンした際、左側第１可動片２０または右側可動片２２が開放される可能性があることから、前記第１実施の形態に比して、Ｖゾーン３０（特定入賞口）に対する入賞確率を向上させることができる。
【００４１】
さらに、（２ａ）右側始動口用センサ７ａがオンした際、前記第１実施の形態で開放される右側可動片２２に比してＶゾーン３０に対する入賞確率が高い左側第１可動片２０が開放される可能性があること、及び前記第１実施の形態で開放される可動片が右側可動片２２の１枚であるのに対して、開放される可動片が２枚となることから、Ｖゾーン３０に対する入賞確率を、より向上させることができる。
【００４２】
また、上記第１実施の形態または第２実施の形態に代えて、始動口（左側始動口６、右側始動口７、中央始動口８）に入賞した際に、可動片（左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２）についてその枚数を含めてランダムに選択し、選択された可動片（左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２）を開放するようにしてもよい（便宜上、第３実施の形態という。）。
【００４３】
この第３実施の形態によれば、始動口（左側始動口６、右側始動口７、中央始動口８）に入賞した際の可動片（左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２）の開放態様が、さらに多岐にわたり、遊技者に多大な興趣を提供することが可能になる。
【００４４】
また、前記第１実施の形態において、Ｖゾーン３０に入賞することにより大当り（大役）状態となるが、この大当り状態での１ラウンド（大当り状態におけるＶゾーン３０への入賞に伴う作動）中において、可動片（左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２）の開放パターンを変えるようにしてもよい。例えば、１ラウンド中に可動片の開放動作が１８回行なわれると、次の（イ）、（ロ）及び（ハ）がランダムに選択されるようにする（便宜上、第４実施の形態という。）。なお、大当り状態でのラウンド数は例えば１５回などのように所定回数に定められている。また、１ラウンド中の可動片（左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２）の開放回数は１８回などのように一定回数に定められている。
【００４５】
（イ）左側始動口用センサ６ａがオンする（遊技球が左側始動口６に入賞する）と、左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２のうちいずれか１枚を開放する。
（ロ）右側始動口用センサ７ａがオンする（遊技球が右側始動口７に入賞する）と、左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２のうちいずれか２枚を開放する。
（ハ）中央始動口用センサ８ａがオンする（遊技球が中央始動口８に入賞する）と、左側第１可動片２０、左側第２可動片２１及び右側可動片２２の３枚全てを開放する。
【００４６】
この第４実施の形態によれば、前記（イ）に示すように、左側始動口用センサ６ａがオンした際、左側第１可動片２０または右側可動片２２が開放される可能性があることから、前記第１実施の形態に比して、Ｖゾーン３０に対する入賞確率を向上させることができる。
【００４７】
