Description of the Related Art As a conventional game machine, a symbol display device composed of a liquid crystal screen or the like is provided as a main accessory on a game board surface, and when a game ball is won at a start winning port, various symbols are variably displayed on the symbol display device. A model is known in which, when the changed combination of symbols becomes a big hit mode, a special prize state occurs and the large winning opening opens and closes a predetermined number of times. Also, as another type of gaming machine, when a game ball wins at the starting winning slot,
The movable wing in the case-shaped central accessory opens to the left and right, and when the movable wing is opened, a game ball enters a specific winning opening called the V zone inside the central accessory, which is a big hit, and the movable wing opens and closes a predetermined number of times. There is also known a model in which the opening / closing operation continues up to a predetermined number of times when the operation is repeated and a big hit is again made during the operation.

The former is a pachinko machine called a first-class pachinko machine, and the latter is a pachinko machine called a second-class pachinko machine, and there are various models that can enjoy completely different game methods like these. At the amusement park, several types of machines were installed to meet the players' preferences. In general, the first-class pachinko machines tend to enhance entertainment by diversifying the contents of pattern matching displayed on the pattern display device such as a liquid crystal screen, while the second-class pachinko machines tend to be central role machines. Tend to complicate the prize-winning process in the traditional structure and increase interest.

[0004]

However, in the conventional gaming machine, for example, in the first type pachinko machine, the contents of the pattern matching displayed on the pattern display device such as a liquid crystal screen are diversified, In the second class pachinko machine, there is a device that complicates the winning process in the mechanical structure of the central role and enhances the interest, but the game method is almost typified by each model, and the game itself They tended to lack novelty and fun.

As described above, in the conventional game machine, within the scope of the game method which is being standardized for each model, the entertainment property which has not been provided in the past is provided, and the player's expectation for the generation of the special value. There is a limit to how to direct the player's joy, and it is difficult to further stimulate the player's euphoria and further stimulate the player visually. Therefore, the present invention has been made by paying attention to such unsolved problems of the conventional technique, and combines the conventional game methods between different models to enhance the entertainment and enhance the player's entertainment.

Further, in the gaming machine according to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, a position where a gaming ball won in the first starting winning opening is easily placed in the second starting winning opening. There is a possibility that the same gaming ball will win the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening, without the same gaming ball winning the first starting winning opening. The first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening are arranged so as to have a greater possibility of winning the second starting winning opening.

With such a configuration, when a game ball is won in the first start winning port, a lottery is carried out with this as a trigger, and the game ball which is won in the first starting winning port is
You will be guided to a position where you can easily win the starting winning opening. And
When a game ball wins the second start winning hole, the lottery is triggered by this. Further, the same gaming ball may win the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening, and the same gaming ball may win the second starting winning opening without winning the first starting winning opening. As compared to the case where only two starting winning openings are provided, the player can win a winning in the first starting winning opening as well as one game ball. It is possible to enjoy a new game in which a prize for the first starting winning opening and a prize for the second starting winning opening are simultaneously obtained by shooting.

A predetermined number of rounds continue on condition that there is a winning in the specific winning opening 116 in one round.

On the other hand, the upper stage 16 and the middle stage 2
In 0 and the lower stage 26, the game ball has an opening 18,
When it flows down the slopes 24 and 30 without winning, it is collected by the outlet 32 and discharged to the outside of the electric accessory 104 through the internal guide passage. Here, for example, if the discharge is performed directly above the electric accessory starting winning opening 111, there is a high possibility that the electric accessory starting winning opening 111 will be won without winning in the openings 18, 24 and 30. . Alternatively, the winning balls may be discharged to the outside (back side) of the game board. As a result, if the player does not pay out the prize ball even if he / she wins the electric prize 104, the player tends to have a complaint that he has won the electric prize 104. Such dissatisfaction is reduced.

In this way, in the present embodiment, in the electric accessory 104, the game ball won by opening the movable wing 10 flows down the upper stage 16 having the opening 18 as a symbol variation start winning port.

An outlet 32 is provided.

As a result, the player can shoot a single game ball in addition to the conventional game in which the game methods of the conventional different models are combined, and the normal game of winning the winning symbol at the symbol variation start winning port. You can enjoy a new game where you can win prizes at the three symbol variable start prize holes at the same time, so you can enhance the entertainment and satisfy the player's expectations and euphoria to some extent. This makes it harder for the player to get bored. Further, in the present embodiment, the projection 22 is provided on the middle stage 20 at the position where the game ball that has passed through the opening 18 falls, and the game ball that has passed through the opening 24 on the lower stage 26 is The protrusion 28 was provided at the position where it dropped.

As a result, depending on the amount of collision with the projections 22 and 28, the game ball may win the openings 24 and 30, or may flow down to the out port 32, which is predicted. Because it is difficult, the openings 24, 30
It is possible to add more playability to winning a prize. In the above embodiment, the electric accessory 104 corresponds to the accessory described in claim 3 or 6, the movable wing 10 corresponds to the movable portion described in claim 3, 4 or 6, and the upper stage 16 includes Corresponding to the first stage according to claims 4 to 6, the middle stage 20 is the second stage according to claim 4 or 6.
It corresponds to the stage. In addition, the lower stage 26,
Corresponding to the third stage of claim 6, the opening 18 is
The first start winning opening according to claim 1 to 4 or 6, the opening 24 corresponds to the second starting winning opening according to claim 1 to 4 or 6, and the opening 30 corresponds to claim 6. It corresponds to the third starting winning opening.

Further, in the above embodiment, the protrusion 2
2, 28 correspond to the protrusions according to claim 5, the outlet 32 corresponds to the recovery part according to claim 4 or 6, and the prize state is the predetermined game state according to claim 1 or 6. It corresponds. In addition, in the above embodiment, the opening 1
Although the number of reserved balls is added every time a game ball wins 8, 24, 30 is not limited to this, the opening 18,
A predetermined number (for example, one) may be added to the number of held balls when all the game balls have won in 24 and 30.

Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, although the probability fluctuation state is not particularly described, for example, in the probability fluctuation state, by winning the left shoulder winning opening 122 and the right shoulder winning opening 123, a normal symbol is displayed. Since the variation probability of the device (not shown) is high, the electric ball 104 controls the opening and closing, so that the game ball can easily win. Therefore, the player can open the movable blade 10 more frequently than in the normal state, and as a result, can easily win the jackpot.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, although the prize ball is not particularly described, for example, the openings 18, 2
When passing 4,30, a predetermined number of prize balls are paid out. In this case, the same game ball has three openings 18,
Since it may pass through 24 and 30, it is preferable to perform the prize ball only once. Further, from the viewpoint of improving game playability, the number of prize balls is increased when passing through the opening 24 rather than the opening 18, and when passing through the opening 30 than when opening 24. Can also be suggested.
