The pair of curved guide pieces 57 are greatly exposed from the surface of the decorative plate 52 by sliding, and the pair of curved guide pieces 57 having a large contact area play the game without causing the raceway to be distant from the start winning opening devices 51 and 51A. The ball P is won with a high probability (see FIG. 11).

  On the other hand, when the pin 59 of the cam 58 moves away from the decorative plate 52, the base plate 56 slides toward the back surface of the game board 40, and the pair of curved guide pieces 57 are retracted from the surface of the decorative plate 52. The pair of curved guide pieces 57 having a small contact area causes the game balls P to win with a low probability while causing the start winning opening devices 51 and 51A to vary the trajectory (see FIG. 10).

  When the game ball P passes through the hakama device 54 and wins a specific start winning hole device 51A and is detected by the start winning ball detection sensor 53, the movable blades 74 of the center accessory device 63 are respectively set outward for a predetermined time. Only open and rotate to widen the gap with the guide vanes 75.

  When the game ball P wins the case 64 of the center accessory device 63 in which the movable blade 74 and the guide blade 75 are opened and rotated, and the game ball P wins the continuous winning port 68 at the bottom of the case 64, the movable blade 74 and The guide blade 75 rotates to open and approximately 10 game balls P are won, or the movable blade 74 and the guide blade 75 rotate to open 18 times, for example. During this time, when the game ball P further wins in the continuous winning opening 68, the movable blade 74 and the guide blade 75 are again opened and rotated 18 times, and this opening rotation is repeated up to 15 times.

  According to the above-described configuration, since the Hakama device 54 is used as a useful item instead of the Hakama nail 100 that greatly changes the trajectory of the game ball P, only the amount of protrusion of the life nail 44 or the curved guide piece 57 that is easy to adjust is adjusted. Thus, the winning percentage of the game ball P can be easily adjusted. Therefore, it is possible to adjust the winning percentage of the game ball P and the hakama device 54 without requiring any high skill or skill.

  In addition, among the plurality of start prize opening devices 51 and 51A, the start prize opening device 51A located on the right side in FIG. 2 is generally not effectively used, but since the plurality of hacker devices 54 advance and retreat alternately, It is possible to remarkably expand the game width by effectively utilizing the start winning opening device 51A.

  In addition, if the guide nail 45 that guides the game ball P to the start prize opening devices 51 and 51A is continuously driven into the game board 40, a plurality of curved guide pieces 57 in the hack device 54 are retracted. Since the probability of jumping and winning the game ball P to the start winning opening device 51 / 51A using the life nail 44 or the like can be improved, the game pattern can be greatly expanded.

  Moreover, since the hakama device 54 is made into a feature, a significant improvement in the variation of the feature design can be expected. Further, since the front surface 61 and the upper end corner portion 62 of each curved guide piece 57 are chamfered into an R shape, it is possible to prevent the game ball P from being sandwiched between the transparent panel 23 and the curved guide piece 57 and falling. It can be effectively prevented.

  In addition, the winning ball and the ball lending ball path of the above-described embodiment may be configured to be indistinguishable without being separated, or may be separated and distinguishable. Further, a sorting device for sorting the game balls P from the payout device 15 may be installed on the back wall of the main body 10. Further, a plurality of trays 26 may be arranged on the tray panel 24 side by side. Further, the pause button 33 can be provided not in the operation handle 32 but in the vicinity of the operation handle 32 of the tray panel 24.

  In addition, the numbers of the nails 43, the windmills 47 and 47A, the panel lamp 48, the winning opening devices 49 and 49A, the starting winning opening devices 51 and 51A, and the hack devices 54 can be changed as appropriate. Further, the start winning a prize opening device 51 / 51A and the hack device 54 may be integrated or separated. Further, the CPU, ROM, and RAM of the main control device 83 and the sub control device 84 can be integrated into one chip. Further, the number of CPUs of the main control device 83 and the sub control device 84 can be increased or decreased as appropriate.

  It is also possible to connect the power supply circuit 90 to each board of the main controller 83 and the sub controller 84. Further, the game history and game profits may not be stored in the RAM of the main controller 83 but may be stored in a known storage device such as a hard disk. Furthermore, the main controller 83 may monitor the number of prize balls paid out.
