This round interruption signal continues to be output until the continuous opening / closing signal disappears.

Next, the operation will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. A game ball is launched into the game area 3 by the player's operation of the handle, and the game is started. In step 101, it is determined whether or not a game ball has been won in the first start winning hole 9. That is, the first starting winning opening 9 is in a waiting state for winning a game ball. When there is no winning of the game ball, it is judged in the repeating step 101 whether or not there is a winning of the game ball into the first start winning port 9. On the other hand, when it is determined in step 101 that the game ball has won, in step 102, variable display of the symbol is started on the variable display 6 of the accessory device 5. still,
When a game ball is won in the first start winning hole 9,
Before the variable display of the symbol is started, it is determined whether a variable display operation of the symbol is occurring at that time, or a jackpot state is occurring, and if it is occurring, the symbol variation is suspended. Although the processings such as the above are performed, the details of the processings are the same as the conventional contents, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.

When a game ball is won into the first starting winning opening 9, random numbers are randomly selected in addition to the variable display operation of the symbols, and a combination of symbols is displayed stopped on the variable display 6 according to the result of the lottery. Has been decided. After the variable display operation for a predetermined time in step 102, the determined combination of symbols is stopped and displayed on the variable display 6, and step 10
At 3, it is determined whether or not the combination is a predetermined specific symbol combination. In step 103, when the combination of the specific symbols is not stopped and displayed, that is, when the big hit state (first kind big hit) has not occurred, the process returns to step 101 () and the above-described processing is repeated. On the other hand, when the first type big hit has occurred in step 103, a process of continuously opening the special winning opening 10 is performed in step 104. In the form of the game board 1 shown in FIG. 1, a combination of specific symbols is stopped and displayed on the variable display 6 (here, the same numeral “7” is displayed in a horizontal row), and the big hit state is It shows a state in which the special winning opening door 10a attached to the special winning opening 10 is opened.

The open state of the special winning opening 10 is until a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses or when the number of winning game balls reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10) within the predetermined time. It continues until the time (1 round period). When the special winning opening continuous opening processing (round processing) is completed, it is determined in step 105 whether or not the game ball has won the special winning opening V area 15 provided in the special winning opening 10 between the rounds. If there is no winning of the game ball into the special winning opening V area 15, the first-class big hit state ends, and the process returns to step 101 () to repeat the above-described processing.

On the other hand, when the game ball is won in the special winning opening V area 15, it is determined in step 106 whether or not the game state of the first-class big hit has ended. The big hit game state ends when the game ball does not win the special winning opening V area 15 between rounds, and also ends when the round processing continues a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times). The continuation of the round process is conditioned on that the game ball has won the special winning opening V area 15 between the rounds. When the game state of the first-class jackpot is finished in step 106, that is, when the round process reaches the predetermined number of times here, step 101
The process returns to () and the above process is repeated.

If the game state of the first-class jackpot has not ended in step 106, that is, if the round processing has not reached the predetermined number of times, step 107
At, the interval period begins. The interval period is a period from the end of one round to the start of the next round, that is, a period in which the continuously opened special winning opening 10 is once closed. When the interval period starts, in step 108, it is determined whether or not the game ball has won the second starting winning opening 11, 12, 13.

In step 108, the second starting winning opening 11, 1
When the game balls are won in 2 and 13, a predetermined number of times corresponding to the winning second start winning opening (for example, once when the winning openings 12 and 13 are won, The movable members 7 and 7 open and close only twice when the prize is received in the mouth 11 (step 109).

Here, in FIG. 4, in the gaming state in which the big hit shown in FIG. 1 occurs, the game ball wins in any of the second starting winning openings 11, 12, 13 during the interval period, and the movable members 7, 7 become It shows a state in which the opening / closing operation is being performed. Since it is during the interval period, the special winning opening 10 is closed. Further, the movable members 7, 7 in the figure show a state in which they are in the opening operation. When the movable members 7 and 7 are in the open state, the game ball 17 wins the winning area 8 of the accessory device 5, for example, through the route indicated by the arrow 17a. The winning area 8 is formed by the upper frame 8a, the lower frame 8b, and the movable members 7, 7.

Next, in step 110, during the opening / closing operation of the movable members 7, 7 based on the winning of the game balls into the second start winning openings 11, 12, 13, the game balls are in the winning area V. It is determined whether or not the area 16 has been won, that is, whether or not the second-class big hit state has occurred. Step 11
If the second-class jackpot occurs at 0, step 111
At, the continuous opening / closing operation of the movable members 7, 7 is started. In the continuous opening / closing operation of the movable members 7, 7, the game ball wins the prize V area 16 until a predetermined number of times (for example, 18 times consecutively) is reached or before the predetermined number of times is reached. Sometimes it continues until that point. And
If the game ball wins the prize V area 16 before reaching the predetermined number of times, the above-described continuous opening / closing operation is restarted, and this re-continuous opening / closing operation is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times). It is repeated continuously until it reaches.

Continuous opening / closing operation of the movable members 7, 7 (for one time)
When is finished, in step 112, it is determined whether or not the second-type jackpot gaming state is finished. The jackpot gaming state is that the accessory V is operated by the number of times the continuous opening / closing operation of the movable members 7 and 7 reaches the above-described predetermined number (18 times).
It ends when the game ball does not win the area 16,
The above-mentioned re-continuous opening / closing operation is a predetermined number of times (16 times)
When it reaches, it ends. Therefore, in step 112, it is determined whether or not the re-continuous opening / closing operation has reached a predetermined number (16 times). If the second-class big hit state has not ended in step 112, the process returns to step 110 and the same process as described above is repeated.
