In the game area 1a surrounded by the guide rails 2 of the game board 1, game balls launched by a launcher (not shown) are allowed to flow down.
In the game area 1a, a general diagram start gate (not shown), a general diagram start memory for displaying the number of unprocessed times that the game ball has passed through the general diagram start gate and the general diagram variable display game has not been processed. There is provided a display (not shown) and an ordinary map change display (not shown) for displaying a normal symbol change display game. Also, the normal variation winning device 7 and a special figure start memory display (illustrated) that lights up and displays the number of unprocessed times in which the game ball has won the normal variation winning device 7 and the special display variable display game has not yet been processed. (Not shown), a special figure fluctuation display (not shown) for displaying a special figure fluctuation display game is provided.

  Furthermore, it has an attacker-type opening / closing door 4a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side is tilted toward the front side, and the state where the special winning opening is closed depending on the result of the special display variable display game (player) A special variable winning device 4 for converting from an unfavorable state) to an open state (a state advantageous to the player), and an out hole 9 for collecting a game ball that has not won a winning opening. In addition, the game area 1a is provided with general winning holes 8, 8,..., A windmill (not shown) as a batting direction changing member, a number of obstacle nails (not shown), and the like.

  Further, in the lower half of the game area 1a, a plate-like game board decoration member that decorates the game board 1 within a predetermined range from the inner periphery of the guide rail 2 that partitions the game area 1a toward the center of the game area 1a. 14 is attached. In addition, an opening having a depth substantially equal to the thickness of the plate-like game board decoration member 14 is formed in a portion of the game board 1 where the game board decoration member 14 is arranged, and the game board decoration member 14 is connected to the game board. 1 is arranged so that the front surface of the game board 1 and the front surface of the game board decoration member 14 form substantially the same surface.

  The normal variation winning device 7 includes a pair of left and right opening / closing members 7a, and the opening / closing member 7a always maintains a closed state (a disadvantageous state for the player) at an interval that allows one game ball to flow in. However, when the result of the normal variation display game becomes a predetermined stop display mode, it is opened in a reverse “C” shape by a driving device (for example, a solenoid) (not shown) to the normal variation winning device 7. The game ball can be changed into a state in which it is easy for the game ball to flow in (a state advantageous to the player). The normal variation winning device 7 also serves as a special winning start opening. In other words, the right to start a special figure variable display game is generated based on the detection of a game ball by a special figure start prize port sensor provided in the inside of the normal variable prize device 7 (winning area). ing.

  The right to start the special figure variable display game is stored as a start memory (special figure start memory) within a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4). Therefore, when a game ball is won in the normal variation winning device 7 in a state where the special display variable display game can be started and the start memory number is 0, the start memory is stored with the generation of the start right. Then, when the start memory number is incremented by 1, the special display variation display game is immediately started based on the start memory, and at this time, the start memory number is decremented by 1.

On the other hand, when the special figure variable display game cannot be started immediately, for example, when the special figure variable display game has already been played and the special figure variable display game has not ended, or is in a special game state In addition, when a game ball wins the normal variation winning device 7, if the start memory number is less than the upper limit number, the start memory number is incremented by 1 and one start memory is stored. Then, when the start memory number becomes 1 or more and the state where the special figure variable display game can be started (the end of the previous special figure variable display game or the end of the special game state), the start memory number is increased. 1 is subtracted, and a special-figure variable display game is started based on the stored start memory.
The start memory of the special figure variable display game is displayed on a special figure start memory display equipped with an LED, and one start memory is stored. It is turned on, and one LED is turned off in response to one start memory being subtracted.

The special symbol (special symbol, identification information) variable display game is executed by a special symbol variable display composed of 7 segments provided in the game area 1a, and corresponds to the special symbol variable display game executed here. The display game is displayed on the image display device 15.
Note that the game machine 100 may not be provided with the special figure fluctuation display, and the special figure fluctuation display game may be executed only by the image display device 15.

A general-purpose start gate sensor for detecting a game ball that has passed through the general-purpose start gate is provided in the general-purpose start gate. Then, when the game ball driven into the game area 1a passes through the normal start gate, a normal variation display game is performed.
In addition, the normal variation display game cannot be started, for example, the normal variation display game has already been played and the normal variation display game has not been completed, When 7 is converted to the open state and the game ball passes through the general figure start gate, if it is less than the upper limit of the general figure start memory number, the general figure start memory number is incremented by one and the general figure start memory is stored. One is stored. In addition, the start memory of the general map display game is displayed on a general map start memory display equipped with an LED, and one LED is turned on in response to one start memory being stored. Then, one LED is turned off in response to one start memory being subtracted.

The universal map change indicator is composed of two LEDs that display a missed hit, and the universal diagram change display game is performed by displaying the lighting state of the universal map change indicator for a predetermined time and then stopping the display. It is like that.
It should be noted that the universal map display game may be displayed in a part of the display area of the image display device 15. In this case, for example, numbers, symbols, character symbols, etc. are used as the identification symbols for a predetermined time. After the variable display, the stop display is performed. If this stop display of the usual figure change display game becomes a special result mode, it becomes a hit of the usual figure, and the opening / closing member 7a of the normal change winning device 7 is for a predetermined time (for example, 0.5 seconds) as described above. Opened. Thereby, it becomes easy to win a game ball in the normal variation winning device 7, and it becomes easy to start a special display variation display game.

Further, a center case 11 that forms a display window 12 (see FIG. 2), which serves as a display area for a special variable display game, is attached to the approximate center of the game area 1a. Is provided with an image display device 15.

Then, based on the fact that the game ball thrown into the game area 1a enters the normal variation winning device 7 which also serves as the start port of the special figure and the start condition is established, the special figure variable display game is displayed on the special figure fluctuation display. Can be executed.
In addition, a display game corresponding to a special variable display game that displays various types of identification information (for example, numbers, symbols, character designs, etc.) in the image display device 15 can be executed. This display game is performed by causing the image display device 15 to display a plurality of types of identification information in a variable manner for a predetermined time.
As a result of the special figure fluctuation display game, if the display form of the special figure fluctuation indicator becomes a special result aspect (for example, “7”), a special game state (so-called jackpot state) is obtained. ) Corresponding to this, the display mode of the image display device 15 is also a special result mode (for example, any one of the numbers in the flat order such as “7, 7, 7”).

In this example, for example, although not shown, the display unit 15a of the image display device 15 is divided into a left region, a middle region, and a right region, and numbers 1 to 9 in each region (special figure: identification information) ) Are sequentially displayed in a fluctuating manner, then the fluctuating display in each of the three areas is stopped in order (for example, the left area, the right area, and the middle area are stopped in this order), and one number is displayed in each area as a stop symbol. The variable display game shown in the figure is performed. In addition, when the change display of the two areas is stopped and the remaining one area is changing display, when the number of the two stopped areas stops at the same number (reach state), It is possible to change the stopping method of the symbols to be stopped.
Examples of such a change in the method of stopping the change display in the reach state (reach action) include, for example, making the display time of the change display longer than usual or causing a character or the like to appear. In addition, in rare cases, the game is developed from one reach action to another, or a reach action (so-called special reach, premium reach) different from the normal reach action appears to improve the interest of the player.

The special variable winning device 4 is provided with a large winning opening that is opened and closed by an attacker-type opening / closing door 4a that can be opened by rotating in a direction in which the upper end side is tilted toward the front side. By converting the winning opening from the closed state to the opened state, the inflow of game balls into the large winning opening is facilitated.
