Next, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3 and the display transition diagram of the symbol change display shown in FIG. In the display state shown in FIG. 4A, “4” is displayed on the first display portion located on the left side of the symbol variation display 2 during the game, and “2” is displayed on the second display portion located at the center. Is displayed, and “3” is displayed on the specific display portion located on the right side.

In such a display situation, when a game ball fired on the game board wins the starting port 5 and this is detected by the start switch 11 and the start condition is satisfied, the process proceeds from step a to steps b and c in FIG. Figure 4 on the symbol variation display
(B) As shown in (c), the symbol "2" displayed on the second display unit moves to the first display unit, and the symbol "3" displayed on the specific display unit is displayed on the second display unit. Moving. Then, as shown in step d of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 (c), the numbers 1 to 8 as shown in the lineup of FIG.

Then, as shown in step e of FIG. 3, and (d) or (e) of FIG. 4, the fluctuation stops after a few seconds, and stops at the same "3" as the second display unit as shown in (d). In some cases, as shown in (e), the operation may stop at a position other than “3”.

Then, in step f of FIG. 3, it is determined whether or not the display symbol on the first display unit, the display symbol on the second display unit and the display symbol on the specific display unit are all the same. It is determined whether the display symbol of the section and the display symbol of the specific display section are the same. For example, as shown in FIG. 4D, when the display symbol of the second display unit and the display symbol of the specific display unit both become "3", the process proceeds to step i, and the reach display is displayed on a part of the symbol variation display. Then, it is waited that the starting condition is satisfied again. Also, as shown in (e), when the display symbol of the specific display section is "7" and is not the same, the reach display is not performed and the establishment of the next start condition is awaited.

When the starting condition is satisfied again in the reach state shown in FIG. 4 (d), the symbol "3" displayed on the second display section again becomes the first display as shown in FIGS. After the symbol "3" displayed on the specific display unit moves to the second display unit, the specific display unit displays the numbers 1 to 8 shown in FIG. The twelve kinds of symbols are variably displayed as moving images such that the symbols flow downward from the top in the order. Then, as shown in (Y) or (T), the fluctuation stops after a few seconds, and stops at the same “3” as the first display unit and the second display unit as in (Y), and the big hit occurs in the step f. Is determined, and the jackpot operation of step g is executed. That is, since the opening and closing doors of the variable winning device 7 are continuously opened, a large number of game balls can win and a large number of premium balls can be obtained, so that many benefits are provided to the player.

If the player stops at a symbol other than "3" as in (ta), such a jackpot profit cannot be obtained.

When the starting condition is satisfied from the situation shown in FIG. 4E, the symbol "3" displayed on the second display moves to the first display as shown in FIGS. After the symbol “7” displayed on the display unit moves to the second display unit,
The numbers 1 to 8 and 1 such as ○, △, □, × etc.
The two kinds of symbols are variably displayed in a moving image shape such that the symbols flow from the top to the bottom in that order. And (H) or (L)
After a few seconds, the fluctuation stops, as shown in FIG.
Is determined to be the reach state, a reach display is made, and it is awaited that the start condition is satisfied. And if it is aligned with "777" as in (R), it will be a big hit. Also,
Sometimes a big hit is missed as in (ヲ).

In short, in this pachinko gaming machine, when the stop symbol becomes the same as the previous time and the vehicle reaches the reach state, the probability that a big hit will occur when the next start condition is satisfied is greatly increased. It will increase and provide great pleasure not available in conventional pachinko machines.
Then, even after the jackpot operation, the symbol of the specific display unit of the three symbol variation display units moves to the second display unit, the symbol of the second display unit moves to the first display unit, and the starting condition is further increased.
