A movable member that can be converted into a state and a second state that can be accepted, and a specific winning area in which a game ball accepted by the movable member can win, and satisfying a preset start condition Based on this, an auxiliary game for converting the movable member from the first state to the second state is performed, and a special game state can be generated when a game ball received by the movable member at the time of execution of the auxiliary game wins a specific winning area The present invention relates to a game machine such as a pachinko machine.

  In a conventional gaming machine, for example, a so-called “pachinko” type pachinko machine, a variable winning device is arranged in the gaming area, and a specific winning area (V winning opening) is provided inside the variable winning device, A pair of movable members configured to be openable and closable are provided on the left and right side portions of the variable winning device. A predetermined number of times determined in advance for the movable member based on the establishment of a predetermined condition (for example, winning of a game ball at a start winning opening arranged in the game area or occurrence of a small hit based on the winning) It is comprised so that opening / closing operation | movement may be performed. Further, when the game ball flows into the variable winning device during the opening / closing operation of the movable member and wins the specific winning area, a special gaming state (big hit) is generated.

  In a pachinko gaming machine having such a configuration, whether or not to win a specific winning area depends on the behavior of the game ball that has flowed into the variable winning device, and thus whether or not a special gaming state occurs, A player often executes a game while enjoying watching the behavior of the game ball after flowing into the variable prize apparatus. In view of this, it has been proposed that a movable plate is provided in the variable winning device, and the rolling state of the game ball on the movable plate can be changed by driving the movable plate. Furthermore, normally, the movable member and the movable plate change their states at the same timing, making it difficult to guide the game ball to the specific winning area, and the movable plate is movable when a predetermined condition (for example, the end of the first big hit) is satisfied. It has been proposed that the timing to be played is delayed from the movable member to make it easier to guide the game ball to the specific winning area (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

A passage opening 55 is formed at a position extending from the 46th side) to the front side (the normal upper guideway 52 or the inclined upper end side of the specific guideway 51), and a part of the movable member 38 described later can pass through the passage opening 55. . Then, the downstream end (rear end) of the specific guide path 51 and the downstream end (rear end) of the normal guide path 52 are opened toward the rear of the guide path 45, and the specific guide path 51 or the normal guide path 52 flows down. The game ball is released to the rear part of the moving space 33. Further, the downstream end of the specific guiding path 51 and the downstream end of the normal guiding path 52 are separated from the rear partition wall 33a of the moving space 33 by a distance that allows a game ball to sufficiently pass forward. The game ball released from the downstream end or the downstream end of the normal guide path 52 can be dropped to the lower part of the moving space portion 33 (see FIG. 3).

  As shown in FIG. 2 (a), the winning portion 46 is a specific winning area (V winning opening) 57 arranged right below the central portion of the moving space portion 33, in other words, directly below the upstream portion of the specific guide path 51. And a general winning area 58 arranged on both the left and right sides of the specific winning area 57 and immediately below the upstream portion of each normal guiding path 52. As shown in FIG. 3, a specific guide rod 59 is provided between the specific prize area 57 and the lower decorative panel 36 so as to be inclined downward toward the rear specific prize area 57. Can be guided to the specific winning area 57. Furthermore, a specific flow path 61 for flowing down the game ball (winning ball) that has flowed into the specific winning area 57 is formed below the specific guide rod 59 in a state bent to the front lower decorative panel 36 side. In the middle of the path 61, a specific winning sensor 62 capable of detecting a winning ball is provided. Then, as shown in FIG. 4A, a flow path forming member 64 is fastened to the lower back side of the mounting substrate 32, and between the flow path forming member 64 and the lower decorative panel 36, A general flow path 65 for flowing down the game ball that has flowed into the general winning area 58 is formed in a state bent toward the rear flow path forming member 64. Further, on the back side of the game board 1, a ball collection path (not shown) for collecting game balls that have flowed down the specific flow path 61 or the general flow path 65 is provided. The remaining ball detection sensor 66 (see FIG. 8) capable of detecting the played game balls is arranged, and the number of game balls detected by the count sensor 41 (game balls that have entered the variable winning device 7) and the remaining ball detection. By comparing the number of game balls (game balls discharged from the variable winning device 7) detected by the sensor 66, it is possible to check whether or not the game balls remain in the variable winning device 7. Yes. In addition, you may arrange | position the bowl-shaped spherical-rotation moving part (not shown) called what is called a croon below the fluctuation | variation prize-winning apparatus 7 in the game area 5. FIG. Then, the game balls that have passed through the specific winning sensor 62 and have flowed down the specific flow path 61 are discharged onto the ball rotating part, and are collected on the ball collecting path after rolling on the ball rotating part. Also good.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the ball rolling portion 47 is provided in a posture inclined downward toward the front of the moving space portion 33, and is a central portion in the front-rear direction of the ball rolling portion 47. In addition, a disc-shaped ball rolling rotator 68 is placed on a circular upper surface (a ball on which a game ball can roll) at a location located downstream of the normal guide path 52 and the downstream portion of the specific guide path 51. The rolling surface is disposed in a posture inclined downward along the ball rolling portion 47. The downstream end of the normal guide path 52 and the downstream end of the specific guide path 51 are opened above the ball rolling rotator 68 and separated from the ball rolling rotator 68 by a distance that allows a game ball to pass sufficiently. Thus, the game ball that has flowed down to the downstream end of the normal guide path 52 or the specific guide path 51 can be guided to the upper surface of the ball rolling rotator 68, and further, the ball rolling section without being caught by the lower portion of the guide path 45. It is configured to roll on 47 (on the ball rolling rotator 68). In addition, the central portion of the ball rolling rotor 68 is disposed directly below the specific guide path 51 (in other words, the central portion in the left-right direction of the moving space portion 33), and the inclination direction of the ball rolling portion 47 from the central portion is The orthogonal rotation center shaft 68a protrudes downward and is connected to the rotation motor 69. When the rotation motor 69 is driven, the ball rolling rotator 68 rotates in a state of maintaining a downward inclined posture. Yes.

  Further, a plurality of sorting protrusions 71 are placed on the upper surface of the ball rolling rotor 68 in a state in which the gaming balls cannot be stopped, in other words, the dimensions allowing the gaming balls to sufficiently pass through the separation distance between the neighboring sorting protrusions 71. Set and project. As shown in FIG. 7, during the rotation of the ball rolling rotator 68, the distribution protrusion 71 tilts the ball rolling portion 47 between the specific winning area 57 and the general winning area 58. It extends along the inclination direction of the ball rolling part 47 from a state aligned on the straight line X extending along the direction and a position deviating from the center of the general winning area 58 toward the outer edge of the ball rolling part 47. It is set to be in a state of being aligned on the straight line Y. Therefore, when the specific guide path 51 releases the game ball from the downstream end in this state, the game ball does not collide with the sorting protrusion 71 through the central portion in the left-right direction of the ball rolling rotor 68. When the specific winning area 57 can be reached and the normal guiding path 52 releases the game ball from the downstream end, the game ball does not collide with the sorting protrusion 71 through the side of the ball rolling rotator 68. The general winning area 58 can be reached. From this, the game ball that has flowed into the variable winning device 7 can be guided to the specific winning area 57 by the specific guiding path 51 and the ball rolling unit 47, while the normal guiding path 52 and the ball rolling unit 47 are generally used. It is possible to guide to a winning area 58 (in other words, an area different from the specific winning area 57 in the moving space 33).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 7, the upper end of the slope of the ball rolling unit 47 is placed at a position located directly below the specific guide path 51 and the normal guide path 52 when viewed from the front of the variable winning device 7. The dividing ridge 72 is provided in a downward inclined posture extending along the inclination direction of the ball rolling portion 47, and a game ball (specifically, the downstream end of the specific guide path 51 or the A game ball that has fallen from the downstream end of the normal guide path 52) can collide. The sorting ridge 72 may be provided only at a position located directly below the normal guide path 52. In this way, the game ball released from the downstream end of the specific guide path 51 does not collide with the sorting ridge 72 and directly falls to the inclined upper end of the ball rolling portion 47 and moves to the specific winning area 57 ahead. It becomes easy to roll quickly.

Next, the movable member 38 will be described.
The movable member 38 is provided on the front surface of the mounting substrate 32 at a position located on the side of the upstream end of the normal guide path 52 (a position on the opposite side of the specific guide path 51 across the normal guide path 52). Left-side movable member 38a (corresponding to one-side movable member in the present invention) provided on the left side (one side) of the variable winning device 7 and right-side movable member provided on the right side (other side). It is comprised from the member 38b (equivalent to the other side movable member in this invention). Further, as shown in FIG. 5, one end (front end) of a rotating shaft 75 extending along the front-rear direction of the variable winning device 7 is fixed to the central portion of each movable member 38 in the longitudinal direction, The other end (rear end) of the rotation shaft 75 protrudes to the rear part of the apparatus base 31 and is connected to movable solenoids 76 (see FIG. 3) provided on the left and right sides of the rear part of the apparatus base 31. The movable member 38 can be opened and closed by driving. Specifically, when the movable solenoid 76 is demagnetized, the movable member 38 is converted to the first state (closed state) in the vertical orientation as shown in FIGS. And the left and right upper ends of the ball intrusion prevention wall 35 are closed, and the game ball flowing down from the upper side of the game area 5 is not received in the variable winning device 7 (in the moving space portion 33). Further, when the movable solenoid 76 is excited, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5B, the upper part of the movable member 38 is moved outward to be converted into a second state (open state) in an open posture, and the armor Opening between the left and right lower ends of the portion 34 and the left and right upper ends of the ball intrusion prevention wall 35, the game balls flowing down from above the game area 5 can be received in the variable winning device 7 (in the moving space portion 33). It becomes a state. Specifically, the game ball flowing down the left side (one side) of the variable winning device 7 can be received by the left movable member 38a and introduced into the left normal guiding path 52a or the specific guiding path 51. The game ball flowing down on the right side (the other side) can be received by the right movable member 38b and introduced into the right normal guiding path 52b or the specific guiding path 51. The movable solenoid 76 connected to the left movable member 38a and the movable solenoid 76 connected to the right movable member 38b are driven synchronously so that both movable members 38 are always set to the same state (same posture). It is configured.

  Each movable member 38 is integrally provided with a ball receiving portion 77, a ball guiding portion 78, and a ball guide switching portion 79. Specifically, a ball receiving portion 77 is provided at the upper end portion (the end portion located on the armor portion 34 side) of the movable member 38, and the ball receiving portion 77 is located above the game area 5 in the second state (open state). A game ball (a game ball flowing down the game area 5) can be received. In addition, the movable member 38 is provided with a spherical guide portion 78 recessed from the ball receiving portion 77 on the rotating shaft 75 side. In the second state, the upper surface of the spherical guide portion 78 is counted from the ball receiving portion 77 side. The game ball received by the ball receiving portion 77 is allowed to flow down toward the 41 side (the center side of the moving space portion 33) and flow toward the guide passage 45 in the moving space portion 33, in other words. Further, a ball guide switching portion 79 projects toward the rear device base 31 at the lower end portion of the movable member 38 located on the opposite side of the ball receiving portion 77 with the ball guide portion 78 and the rotation shaft 75 interposed therebetween. Has been established. When the movable member 38 is converted from the first state (closed state) to the second state (open state), the ball guidance switching unit 79 rotates about the rotation shaft 75 and rises, and the passage opening 55 is opened. It is configured to enter the guide communication portion 54 from below the guide passage 45. In addition, when the movable member 38 is converted from the second state (open state) to the first state (closed state), the ball guidance switching unit 79 pivots about the pivot shaft 75 and descends, and the guidance communication unit 54. It is comprised so that it may move to the downward direction of the guidance channel | path 45 through the passage opening 55 (it pulls out). Further, during the state conversion of the movable member 38, the ball guidance switching unit 79 is positioned inside the passage opening 55 (specifically, the lower opening portion of the passage opening 55) and closes the passage opening 55. It is configured as follows. Then, the state where the passage opening 55 is closed while the movable member 38 is being converted, or the state where the movable member 38 is converted to the second state and the ball guidance switching unit 79 enters the guidance communication unit 54. The ball guidance switching unit 79 can be brought into contact with a game ball (specifically, a game ball flowing down from the ball guide unit 78 and entering the guidance communication unit 54).

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 2 (b) and 3, the variable winning device 7 is located near the specific winning area 57 in the bottom of the specific guiding path 51, specifically, the specific winning area 57 in the specific guiding path 51. A game in which a first discharge opening 81 capable of discharging game balls one by one is opened at a position closer to the upstream end than directly above (in other words, a position immediately above the specific guide rod 59), and flows down in the specific guideway 51. The sphere can be discharged from the first discharge opening 81 toward the specific winning area 57. Further, the position of the bottom of the specific guide path 51 is away from the first discharge opening 81, specifically the position downstream of the first discharge opening 81 and directly above the rotation center of the ball rolling rotator 68. A second discharge opening 82 that can discharge game balls one by one is opened at the location, and the game balls flowing down in the specific guide path 51 can be discharged from the second discharge opening 82 toward the ball rolling rotator 68. It is configured as follows. The first discharge opening 81 is not limited to being opened at a position directly above the specific guide rod 59. In short, as long as the game ball released from the first release opening 81 can be released toward the specific winning area 57, it may be opened anywhere on the bottom of the specific guiding path 51. For example, it may be established at a position immediately above the specific winning area 57.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the pachinko gaming machine includes a control system centered on a game control device 85 and is configured to control game progress by the game control device 85. The game control device 85 includes a CPU that controls game control, a ROM that stores a program for game control, a RAM that is used as a work area during game control, an input / output interface, and the like. And various detection devices (a first start port sensor 86, a second start port sensor 87, a general gate sensor 88, a count sensor 41, a winning port sensor 89, a specific winning sensor 62, a remaining ball detection sensor 66, a rotating body position detection) Receiving signals from the sensor 90, the magnetic sensor 91, and the vibration sensor 92), executing a variable display game (a normal variable display game, a special map variable display game), generating a special game state (a big hit state), a player Various processes, such as notification to, are performed. Furthermore, in addition to various control devices (production control device 94 and discharge / emission control device 95) serving as sub-control devices, a first special symbol display 23, a second special symbol display 24, and a first special diagram start memory display 21 The second special figure start memory display 22, the normal symbol display 19, the general figure start memory display 20, the game state display 96, the external output terminal 97, and the normal electric accessory 14a of the second start port 14 are opened and closed. A command signal is transmitted to the general-purpose open / close solenoid 98, the movable solenoid 76, the rotary motor 69, and the like for overall control of the game.

  The effect control device 94 includes a CPU that controls effect control, a ROM that stores programs for effect control, and a RAM that is used as a work area during effect control. And the signal from the game control apparatus 85, the signal from the operation button 100 which a player operates, etc. are received, and the process regarding presentation operation | movement during a game is performed. Further, a command signal is transmitted to the effect member 10, the effect display device 11, the speaker 101, and the like, and processing information related to effect control is transmitted to the game control device 85.

  Then, the discharge launch control device 95 receives a signal from the touch sensor 102 or launch stop switch 103 of the launch operation unit operated by the player, or receives a signal from the game control device 85, thereby playing the game ball Processing related to discharge and launching. Furthermore, a command signal is transmitted to the launch device 104 and the discharge device 105, and processing information related to the discharge control and the launch control is transmitted to the game control device 85.

  Next, the operation of the game board 1 having the above-described configuration, particularly the operation of the movable member 38 of the variable winning device 7 will be described. The game control device 85 previously converts the movable member 38 to the first state (closed state) and sets it to the normal game state P1 (see FIG. 9 (a)), and the game ball fluctuation winning device 7 It is assumed that entry into is restricted. Further, it is assumed that the ball rolling rotator 68 is constantly rotating.

  When the game ball fired from the launching device 104 jumps into the game area 5 and flows down and wins (passes) to the ordinary diagram starting gate 12, the game control device 85 causes the ordinary symbol display 19 to display the usual figure variation display game. Is executed, and when the result mode of the general-purpose fluctuation display game is in a state of “winning”, the ordinary electric accessory 14a of the second starting port 14 is opened, and the game ball wins the second starting port 14 To a state that is easy to do.

  Also, as shown in FIG. 9A, when the game ball wins the first starting port 13, the first special symbol display game 23 is executed in the first special symbol display 23 to change to the variable display state P2. When the ball wins the second start opening 14, the second special symbol display game 24 is executed on the second special symbol display 24 to enter the variable display state P2. During the execution of the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game, the game ball wins the first start opening 13 or the second start opening 14 and the first start opening sensor 86 or When detected by the second start sensor 87 (see FIG. 10A), the execution of the special figure fluctuation display game based on the winning is suspended until the currently executed special figure fluctuation display game is finished. .

  Then, when the result mode of the first special figure variation display game or the second special figure variation display game is in a state of “disconnection”, the movable member 38 is maintained in the first state and the normal gaming state P1 is entered. return. Furthermore, when the state indicating “small hit 1” is reached, the first starting game state P3 is generated, and the movable member 38 of the variable winning device 7 is opened once (first auxiliary game). The ball is allowed to enter the variable winning device 7. Specifically, the movable member 38 is converted from the first state to the second state, and then returned to the first state again. In addition, when the state indicating “small hit 2” is reached, the second starting game state P4 is generated, and the movable member 38 of the variable winning device 7 is opened twice (second auxiliary game). The ball is allowed to enter the variable winning device 7. Specifically, the movable member 38 is converted from the first state to the second state, the first state, the second state, and the first state. In the first start game state P3 or the second start game state P4, the opening / closing operation time of the movable member 38 per one time (small opening / closing time), specifically, the conversion operation from the first state to the second state is performed. The time from the start to the next return to the first state is set to a predetermined time (for example, 400 ms) set in advance (see FIG. 10A).

  Further, when the result mode of the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is in a state indicating “big hit”, a special game state (big hit state) P5 is generated, and the movable member 38 is An operation (special game) for repeatedly converting between the first state and the second state a predetermined number of times is performed. Specifically, the number of executions of the round that repeats opening and closing of the movable member 38 is selected from 2 times (2R), 4 times (4R), 8 times (8R), and 16 times (16R). Executes opening and closing operations. When all the selected rounds are finished, the special game state P5 is finished while the movable member 38 is kept in the first state and returned to the normal game state P1. In the special game state P5, the opening / closing operation time of the movable member 38 per time (opening / closing time at the time of big hit), more specifically, after the conversion operation from the first state to the second state is started, then the first state is entered. The time until returning is set to a time (for example, 800 ms) longer than the opening / closing operation time per time in the first start game state P3 or the second start game state P4 (see FIG. 10B).

  Then, during the occurrence of the first start game state P3 or the second start game state P4 (in other words, when the first auxiliary game or the second auxiliary game is executed), the game ball is received by the movable member 38 and the variable winning device 7 When it flows in, this game ball is detected by the count sensor 41 as shown in FIG. Then, when winning in the general winning area 58 without winning the specific winning area 57, the remaining ball detecting sensor 66 detects the place where the general winning area 58 has been collected to the ball collecting path. At this time, as shown in FIG. 9A, the game control device 85 determines that the game is “disconnected” in the first start game state P3 or the second start game state P4, and the first start game state P3 or the second start The game state P4 is returned to the normal game state P1.

  Further, when the game ball flows into the variable winning device 7 and wins the specific winning area 57 during the occurrence of the first start game state P3 or the second start game state P4, the game ball is shown in FIG. As shown to b), the place which is flowing down the specific downstream 61 is detected by the specific winning sensor 62. Then, as shown in FIG. 9A, the game control device 85 generates a special game state (big hit state) P5, and the result of the first special figure fluctuation display game or the second special figure fluctuation display game is “big hit”. As in the case of the above, an operation (special game) is performed in which the movable member 38 is repeatedly converted into the first state and the second state a predetermined number of times. Specifically, the number of executions of the round that repeats opening and closing of the movable member 38 is selected from 2 times (2R), 4 times (4R), 8 times (8R), and 16 times (16R). Executes opening and closing operations. When all the selected rounds are finished, the special game state P5 is finished while the movable member 38 is kept in the first state and returned to the normal game state P1.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, the game control device 85 sets the appearance probability of “big hit” to the same 1/293 in the first special figure fluctuation display game and the second special figure fluctuation display game. However, the appearance probabilities of “small hit 1” and “small hit 2” are different. Specifically, the appearance probability of “small hit 1” in the first special figure fluctuation display game is set to 200/293, while the appearance probability of “small hit 1” in the second special figure fluctuation display game is set to the first special figure fluctuation display game. It is set to 42/293, which is lower than the appearance probability of “one small hit” in the figure variation display game. In addition, the appearance probability of “small hit 2” in the first special figure fluctuation display game is set to 92/293, while the appearance probability of “small hit 2” in the second special figure fluctuation display game is displayed in the first special figure fluctuation display. It is set to 250/293, which is higher than the appearance probability of “small hit 2” in the game.

Next, the behavior of the game ball entering the variable winning device 7 will be described.
When the movable member 38 is converted to the second state (open state) in the special game state P5, the first start game state P3, or the second start game state P4, the movable member 38 is as shown in FIG. 5B and FIG. Then, the ball guidance switching unit 79 is passed through the passage opening 55 and enters the guidance communication unit 54, and is positioned higher than the bottom portion on the upstream side of the normal guidance path 52. In this state, when the game ball falls on the ball receiving portion 77 and flows from the ball guide portion 78 through the count sensor 41 to the upstream end of the normal guide path 52, the ball guidance switching portion 79 causes the game ball (count sensor 41). The game ball is brought into contact with the side surface of the game ball detected by (1), and the game ball enters the guidance communication portion 54, and hence the game ball cannot be guided to the specific guide path 51. Therefore, a configuration for preventing the game ball from flowing down to the specific guiding path 51 can be easily realized.

  The game ball that has been prevented from entering the guidance communication unit 54 by the ball guidance switching unit 79 flows down the normal guidance path 52, from the downstream end of the normal guidance path 52 to the side on the inclined upper end side of the ball rolling unit 47. It falls and rolls on the side of the ball rolling portion 47 along the downward inclination direction of the ball rolling portion 47 and then is guided to the upper surface of the rotating ball rolling rotor 68. Then, it may collide with the distribution protrusion 71 and be distributed to the specific winning area 57, but if it does not collide with the distribution protrusion 71, it will continue to flow down the side of the ball rolling part 47 and receive a general prize. It is easy to win the area 58. Thereby, the behavior of the game ball flowing down from the normal guidance path 52 can be complicated and shown to the player, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Further, in the special game state P5, the first start game state P3, or the second start game state P4, the movable member 38 is being converted from the second state (open state) to the first state (closed state) (the movable member 38 is closed). During the application), the movable member 38 draws the ball guidance switching portion 79 from the inside of the guidance communication portion 54 and opens the passage opening 55 (specifically, below the passage opening 55), as shown in FIGS. Close. And the space | interval of the ball | bowl guidance switching part 79 and the opening edge of the passage opening 55 is set to the dimension (dimension narrower than the diameter of a game ball) which a game ball cannot pass. Further, the game ball is positioned from the upstream side of the normal taxiway 52 to the upstream side of the specific taxiway 51 by being positioned lower than the bottom of the normal taxiway 52 upstream and higher than the bottom of the specific taxiway 51 upstream. A structure that facilitates flow down is formed in the guide communication portion 54. In this state, when the game ball falls on the ball receiving portion 77 and flows from the ball guide portion 78 through the count sensor 41 to the upstream end of the normal guide path 52, the game ball (the game ball detected by the count sensor 41). ) Rolls on the upper surface of the ball guidance switching unit 79 and enters and passes through the guidance communication unit 54 and is guided to the upstream end of the specific guidance path 51. Therefore, the movable member 38 can be provided with not only a function of accepting the game ball into the variable winning device 7 but also a function of changing the guidance mode of the game ball flowing into the variable winning device 7. It is possible to change the guidance mode of the game ball in accordance with the state change of the movable member 38. Therefore, the behavior of the game ball in the variable prize apparatus 7 can be randomly changed without providing a separate component from the movable member 38, and the game can be further improved. Further, a configuration for guiding the game ball to the specific guide path 51 can be easily realized.

  The game ball that is allowed to enter and pass through the guidance communication unit 54 by the ball guidance switching unit 79 and is guided to the upstream end of the specific guidance channel 51 flows down the specific guidance channel 51, and the specific guidance from the first discharge opening 81. It is discharged below the path 51, discharged from the second discharge opening 82 below the specific guiding path 51, or flows down to the downstream end of the specific guiding path 51 and then discharged below the specific guiding path 51. When it is discharged from the first discharge opening 81, it falls onto the specific guide rod 59, and the specific guide rod 59 flows down to the specific winning area 57 side behind to win the specific winning area 57. Moreover, when it discharges | emits from the 2nd discharge | emission opening 82, it falls to the center part of the ball rolling rotary body 68 among the ball rolling parts 47, and the center part of the left-right direction of the ball rolling rotary body 68 is moved forward. Flow down. Then, it may collide with the distribution protrusion 71 and be distributed to the general winning area 58, but if it does not collide with the distribution protrusion 71, it will continue to flow down the central portion of the ball rolling portion 47 and receive a specific prize. It is easy to win the area 57. Furthermore, when it is discharged from the downstream end of the specific guide path 51, it falls to the center in the left-right direction on the inclined upper end side of the ball rolling portion 47 and rolls along the downward inclined direction of the ball rolling portion 47. It is guided to the upper surface of the rotating ball rolling rotator 68 after moving. Then, it may collide with the sorting protrusion 71 and be distributed to the specific winning area 57, but if it does not collide with the sorting protrusion 71, it will continue to flow down the central part of the ball rolling portion 47 and will win the specific prize. It is easy to win the area 57. Thereby, the behavior of the game ball flowing down from the specific taxiway 51 can be complicated and shown to the player, and the interest of the game can be improved.

  Even when the movable member 38 is being converted from the first state (closed state) to the second state (open state) (while the movable member 38 is being opened), the movable member 38 is not shown in FIGS. 13, the ball guidance switching portion 79 is pulled out from the guidance communication portion 54 to close the passage opening 55, lower than the bottom portion on the upstream side of the normal guidance path 52, and on the upstream side of the specific guidance path 51. It can be positioned higher than the bottom. Therefore, the game ball received by the movable member 38 can be guided to the specific guide path 51 by the ball guidance switching unit 79. However, when the movable member 38 is converted from the first state to the second state, the ball guidance switching unit 79 is raised, and an attempt is made to form an obstacle for guidance of the game ball to the specific guidance path 51. I am in the middle. On the other hand, when the movable member 38 is converted from the second state to the first state, the ball guidance switching unit 79 is lowered to try to eliminate an obstacle for guidance to the specific guidance path 51 of the game ball. I am in the middle. From this, the guidance of the game ball to the specific guide path 51 occurs more during the conversion from the second state to the first state than during the conversion of the movable member 38 from the first state to the second state. easy.

  By the way, in the said 1st Embodiment, although the specific guidance path 51 which can guide | invade a game ball to the specific winning area 57 was provided, this invention is not limited to this. For example, in the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, the configuration is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, but a specific guide path is not provided in the guide passage 45 ′, but instead a specific discharge opening. 110 differs from the point that the ball rolling shelf 112 is provided in the moving space 33.

  More specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the guide path 45 'is a normal guide path 52' (left side normal guide path 52a ', right side normal guide) inclined downward from the front side to the rear side of the variable winning device 7. A path 52b ′) is provided on both the left and right sides of the upper portion of the moving space 33, and each normal guiding path 52 ′ is formed with a passage width (left and right width) that allows one game ball to flow down. Further, the upstream end of the left normal guiding path 52a ′ is opened upward to communicate with the lower end of the ball passage port 41a of the left (one side) count sensor 41, and the upstream end of the right normal guiding path 52b ′ is opened upward. The right side (other side) count sensor 41 communicates with the lower end of the ball passage port 41a. Then, a specific discharge opening through which one game ball can pass one by one in the upstream end of the normal guiding path 52 ′ from the lower side (winning portion 46 side) to the center side in the left-right direction of the moving space portion 33. 110 has been established. Specifically, the specific discharge opening 110 is composed of a left specific discharge opening 110a (corresponding to one specific discharge opening in the present invention) and a right specific discharge opening 110b (corresponding to the other specific discharge opening in the present invention), The left specific discharge opening 110a is opened at the upstream end of the left normal guiding path 52a ', and the right specific discharge opening 110b is opened at the upstream end of the right normal guiding path 52b'. Further, the game ball received into the variable winning device 7 by the left movable member 38a can be discharged from the left specific discharge opening 110a, and the game ball received into the variable winning device 7 by the right movable member 38b can be discharged from the right specific discharge opening. 110b can be released. Further, the specific discharge opening 110 faces the specific winning area 57 and the specific guide rod 59, and the specific discharge opening 110 can be opened and closed by the ball guidance switching unit 79.

  The ball rolling shelf 112 is located in the moving space 33 between the guide passage 45 ′ and the specific winning area 57, specifically between the downstream end of the normal guide path 52 ′ and the inclined upper end of the ball rolling portion 47. This is a horizontally long shelf member, and the front edge (the edge located on the winning portion 46 side) of the ball rolling shelf 112 is behind the rotation center of the ball rolling rotating body 68 (the ball rolling portion 47). It is arranged on the upper end side of the slope. Further, the upper surface of the ball rolling shelf 112 is slightly inclined from the left and right sides toward the central portion, and is slightly inclined downward toward the front (the inclined lower end side of the ball rolling portion 47). The downstream end of the normal guiding path 52 ′ is opened above the upper surface of the golf ball, and the game balls flowing down the normal guiding path 52 ′ are guided to the upper surface of the ball rolling shelf 112. It is configured to discharge upward.

  In the variable winning device 7 having such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 14A, when the movable member 38 is converted to the first state (closed state), the ball guidance switching unit 79 causes the normal guidance path 52 ′. Rotate from the side to the ball intrusion prevention wall 35 side, and move downward from the specific discharge opening 110 to open the specific discharge opening 110. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 14B and 15, when the movable member 38 is converted to the second state (open state), the ball guidance switching portion 79 moves from the ball intrusion prevention wall 35 side to the normal guidance path 52 ′ side. It rotates to enter the specific discharge opening 110 from below and close the specific discharge opening 110. In this closed state, the ball guidance switching unit 79 is such that the game ball cannot pass through the gap between the ball guidance switching unit 79 and each opening edge of the specific discharge opening 110 (a size smaller than the diameter of the game ball). ), And the interval between the side wall of the normal guide path 52 ′ located near the count sensor 41 and the ball guidance switching unit 79 is a dimension that allows the game ball to pass (wider than the diameter of the game ball). Dimension).

  During the conversion of the movable member 38 to the second state as described above, the game ball falls on the ball receiving portion 77 and passes from the ball guide portion 78 through the count sensor 41 to the upstream end of the normal guiding path 52 '. , The ball guidance switching unit 79 comes into contact with the side surface of the game ball (the game ball detected by the count sensor 41), and the game ball passes through the specific discharge opening 110. It is prevented from being released (induced) toward the region 57). Then, the game ball blocked from passing through the specific discharge opening 110 by the ball guidance switching unit 79 flows down the normal guidance path 52 ′ and falls onto the ball rolling shelf 112 from the downstream end of the normal guidance path 52 ′. Furthermore, it rolls forward while swinging on the ball rolling shelf 112 in the left-right direction, and falls onto the ball rolling rotating body 68 from the front edge of the ball rolling shelf 112. At this time, it is easy to drop onto both the left and right sides of the ball rolling rotator 68 due to the effect of swinging in the left and right direction on the ball rolling shelf 112. Therefore, the behavior of the game ball in the moving space 33 can be complicated with a simple configuration, and the player can sufficiently enjoy the behavior of the game ball. The game ball that has fallen onto the ball rolling rotor 68 may collide with the sorting protrusion 71 and be distributed to the specific winning area 57, but if it does not collide with the sorting protrusion 71, the ball It is easy to win a prize in the general winning area 58 by continuing to flow down the side of the rolling part 47.

  Further, in the middle of converting the movable member 38 from the second state (open state) to the first state (closed state) (while the movable member 38 is being closed), as shown in FIG. The ball guidance switching unit 79 is pulled out from the specific discharge opening 110 to open the specific discharge opening 110, and the drawn ball guidance switching unit 79 is disposed immediately below the specific discharge opening 110. Further, the vertical separation distance between the lower opening edge of the specific release opening 110 and the ball guidance switching unit 79 is set to be narrower than the radius of the game ball. In this state, when the game ball falls on the ball receiving portion 77 and flows from the ball guide portion 78 through the count sensor 41 to the upstream end of the normal guide path 52 ', the game ball (the game detected by the count sensor 41). The sphere) makes the bottom part enter the downwardly opened part of the specific discharge opening 110, but is prevented from falling downwardly in contact with the sphere guide switching part 79. Furthermore, it is guided toward the side (the center in the left-right direction of the moving space 33) by the ball guidance switching unit 79, and is discharged from a part of the specific discharge opening 110 that is open to the side, and on the specific guide rod 59. Fall into. Then, the specific guide bar 59 flows down to the rear side of the specific winning area 57 and wins the specific winning area 57.

  In this way, in the variable prize apparatus 7 in the second embodiment, when the ball guidance switching unit 79 opens the specific release opening 110, the game ball detected by the count sensor 41 flowing into the variable prize apparatus 7 is specified. Since it discharges | releases from the discharge | release opening 110 and guides to the specific prize-winning area | region 57, not only the function to receive the game ball in the variable prize-winning apparatus 7 but the guidance aspect of the game ball which flowed into the variable prize-winning apparatus 7 in the movable member 38 A function of changing the game ball can be provided, and the guidance mode of the game ball in the variable winning device 7 can be changed in accordance with the state conversion of the movable member 38. Therefore, the behavior of the game ball in the variable winning device 7 can be changed randomly without providing a separate component from the movable member 38, and the interest of the game can be improved. In addition, the game ball can be discharged from the specific discharge opening 110 and directed to the specific winning area 57 quickly. Therefore, it is possible to give a powerful force to the behavior of the game ball that can win the specific winning area 57, and to further enhance the interest of the game.

  Even when the movable member 38 is being converted from the first state (closed state) to the second state (open state) (while the movable member 38 is being opened), the ball guidance switching unit 79 may be As shown in FIG. 4, the specific discharge opening 110 can be opened, and the game ball received by the movable member 38 can be discharged from the specific discharge opening 110 and guided to the specific guide path 51. However, when the movable member 38 is converted from the first state to the second state, the ball guidance switching unit 79 is raised and brought closer, and the release operation of the game ball from the specific release opening 110 is to be prevented. It is in. On the other hand, when the movable member 38 is converted from the second state to the first state, the ball guidance switching unit 79 is lowered and moved away, and the release operation of the game ball from the specific release opening 110 is permitted. It is in. Therefore, the release of the game ball from the specific release opening 110 occurs more during the conversion from the second state to the first state than during the conversion of the movable member 38 from the first state to the second state. easy.

  By the way, in the said 2nd Embodiment, although comprised so that the ball guidance switching part 79 of the movable member 38 of right and left both sides might always set the guidance state of the same game ball mutually, this invention is not limited to this. For example, the modification of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 17 is basically the same as the configuration of the second embodiment, except that the left side normal guide path 52a ″, the left specific discharge opening 110a ″, and the left movable member 38a. Even if the sphere guidance switching unit 79 ″ is different and the left movable member 38a and the right movable member 38b are converted to the same state, the sphere guidance switching unit 79 ″ of the left movable member 38a and the sphere guidance switching unit of the right movable member 38b. 79 is configured to be set to different game ball guidance states.

  More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 17A and 17B, the guide passage 45 ″ in the modification of the second embodiment is movable to the left in the first state at the upstream end of the left normal guide passage 52a ″. The left specific discharge opening 110a ″ is opened between the upstream end of the left normal guide path 52a ″ and the left movable member 38a. The left specific discharge opening 110a ″ is disposed behind the member 38a and opened toward the front left movable member 38a. Thus, the game ball can pass through the left specific discharge opening 110a ″ in the vertical direction. The ball guide switching portion 79 ″ formed in the left movable member 38a is along the circumferential direction around the rotation shaft 75. The opening opening / closing wall 114 that extends and the end of the opening opening / closing wall 114 on the right movable member 38b side (the left end in FIG. 17B) toward the rotating shaft 75 of the left movable member 38a. Extending fall prevention wall 1 A 5 is set slightly narrower dimensions than the longitudinal width of the longitudinal width of the opening closing wall 114 and the fall-down inhibition wall 115 left a specific discharge opening 110a ".

  Then, as shown in FIG. 17B, when the left movable member 38a is converted to the first state (closed state), the opening opening / closing wall 114 has the same height as the bottom surface of the left normal guideway 52a ″ or the left normal guideway. The left specific discharge opening 110a ″ is closed at a position higher than the bottom surface of 52a ″. In this state, the fall prevention wall 115 is on the right normal guide path 52b ′ side of the left specific discharge opening 110a ″ (FIG. 17). In (b), left side) is positioned in a vertical orientation. Further, as shown in FIG. 17 (d), when the left movable member 38a is converted to the second state (open state), the opening open / close wall 114 and the fall prevention wall 115 are located laterally from the front of the left normal guide path 52a ″. It moves to the right normal guiding path 52b ′ side and opens the left specific discharge opening 110a ″.

  In the variable winning device 7 having the movable member 38 and the guide passage 45 ″ having such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 17A, both the left movable member 38a and the right movable member 38b are in the first state (closed). State), the ball guide switching unit 79 ″ of the left movable member 38a closes the left specific discharge opening 110a ″, while the ball guide switching unit 79 of the right movable member 38b opens the right specific discharge opening 110b. As shown in FIG. 17 (c), when both the left movable member 38a and the right movable member 38b are converted to the second state (open state), the spherical guide switching portion 79 ″ of the left movable member 38a causes the left specific discharge. While the opening 110a ″ is opened, the ball guide switching portion 79 of the right movable member 38b closes the right specific discharge opening 110b. In this second state, the left movable member 38a places the game ball in the variable prize winning device 7. Accepting this game ball is dropped onto a specific guide trough 59 passes through the left specific discharge opening 110a ", to win a particular winning region 57. Further, when the right movable member 38b receives the game ball into the variable winning device 7, the game ball is blocked from passing through the right specific discharge opening 110b and guided to the right normal guide path 52b 'to the general winning area 58. Easy to win.

  Further, during the conversion of the left movable member 38a and the right movable member 38b from the second state (open state) to the first state (closed state) (while the movable member 38 is being closed), the left movable member 38a is As shown in FIG. 17 (e), the opening opening / closing wall 114 of the ball guidance switching portion 79 ″ is inserted into the left specific discharge opening 110a ″ from the side of the right movable member 38b, and the left specific discharge opening 110a ″ is partway. It closes to a semi-closed state where the game ball cannot pass, and further attempts to close the left specific discharge opening 110a ″. In addition, the fall prevention wall 115 is arranged in a vertical posture above the opening opening / closing wall 114 (specifically, above the right movable member 38b). Then, as shown in FIG. 17 (f), the right movable member 38b pulls the ball guidance switching portion 79 downward from the right specific discharge opening 110b to open the right specific discharge opening 110b, and the drawn ball guidance switching portion is pulled out. 79 is further separated from the right specific discharge opening 110b. Further, the vertical separation distance between the lower opening edge of the specific release opening 110 and the ball guidance switching unit 79 is set to be narrower than the radius of the game ball.

  When the left movable member 38a accepts the game ball into the variable winning device 7 in this state, the game ball collides with the opening opening / closing wall 114 which is about to fully close the left specific discharge opening 110a ″ and the left specific discharge opening 110a. ″ Is prevented from passing, or is prevented from colliding with the fall prevention wall 115 and jumping out to the right movable member 38 b side, and is guided to the rear left side normal guide path 52 a ″. The side portion 112 and the side portion of the ball rolling portion 47 roll to easily win the general winning area 58. On the other hand, when the right movable member 38b receives the game ball into the variable winning device 7, the game ball is The bottom portion enters the portion of the right specific discharge opening 110b that is opened downward, but is prevented from falling downward by coming into contact with the ball guidance switching portion 79. Further, the ball guidance switching portion 79 sideways. Toward the center of the moving space portion 33 in the left-right direction), is discharged from a portion of the right specific discharge opening 110b that is open to the side, and falls onto the specific guide rod 59. Flows down to the specific winning area 57 side and wins the specific winning area 57. Therefore, the left movable member 38a and the right movable member 38b are converted from the second state (open state) to the first state (closed state). In the middle of playing (while the movable member 38 is being closed), the game ball is easy to win the general winning area 58 when it is received from the left movable member 38a into the variable winning device 7, and the variable winning device from the right movable member 38b. 7 is easy to win a specific winning area 57.

  Further, while the left movable member 38a and the right movable member 38b are being converted from the first state (closed state) to the second state (open state) (while the movable member 38 is being opened), the left movable member 38a is Then, the opening opening / closing wall 114 of the ball guidance switching portion 79 ″ is moved to the side of the right movable member 38b to open the specific discharge opening 110 halfway so that the game ball can pass, and the fall prevention wall 115 is It is arranged in a vertical orientation above the opening opening / closing wall 114 (specifically, above the right movable member 38b), and the right movable member 38b raises the ball guide switching portion 79 to close the right specific discharge opening 110b. try to.

  When the left movable member 38a receives the game ball into the variable winning device 7 in this state, the game ball does not easily collide with the opening opening / closing wall 114 that is about to fully open the left specific discharge opening 110a ″, and the left specific discharge opening 110a ″. Furthermore, it falls on the specific guide pole 59 and wins a specific winning area 57. On the other hand, when the right movable member 38b receives the game ball into the variable prize winning device 7, the game ball easily collides with the ball guidance switching unit 79 that attempts to close the right specific discharge opening 110b, and the right specific discharge opening 110b. Is prevented from passing to the right normal guiding path 52b '. Then, the side of the ball rolling shelf 112 and the side of the ball rolling portion 47 roll to easily win the general winning area 58. Therefore, in the middle of converting the left movable member 38a and the right movable member 38b from the first state (closed state) to the second state (open state) (while the movable member 38 is being opened), the game ball When it is received from the movable member 38a into the variable winning device 7, it is easy to win the specific winning area 57, and when it is received from the right movable member 38b into the variable winning device 7, it is easy to win the general winning area 58. Thereby, the guidance | induction aspect of the game ball which changes with the state conversion of the movable member 38 can be varied for every movable member 38, and the interest of a game can be improved further.

  By the way, in the modified example of the second embodiment described above, the time required for the state change of the movable member 38, specifically the first game, in the auxiliary game executed in the first start game state P3 or the second start game state P4. In the first special variation display game or the second special variation display game, the required time for converting from the state to the second state (opening operation time) and the required time for converting from the second state to the first state (closing operation time) You may make it vary based on the small hit design random number for determining small hit (small hit 1, small hit 2).

  For example, as shown in FIG. 18A, an opening / closing operation pattern in which the opening operation time and the closing operation time of the movable member 38 are set to the same time is set as a pattern A, and the opening operation time is set shorter than the closing operation time. The opened / closed operation pattern is referred to as pattern B, and the open / closed operation pattern in which the opening operation time is set longer than the closing operation time is referred to as pattern C. Further, the opening / closing operation time of the movable member 38 per one time (small opening / closing time), more specifically, the time from the start of the conversion operation from the first state to the second state until the next return to the first state. In any pattern, it is set constant (400 ms). Furthermore, in pattern A, the opening operation time and the closing operation time are each set to 200 ms, in pattern B, the opening operation time is set to 100 ms and the closing time is set to 300 ms, and in pattern C, The opening operation time is set to 300 ms and the closing time is set to 100 ms.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 18B, in the first special variation display game or the second special variation display game, when a small hit symbol random number of 0 to 50 is acquired and a small hit 1 appears, or 200 When a small hitting symbol random number of ~ 230 is acquired and a small hitting 2 appears, the opening / closing operation pattern of the movable member 38 of the auxiliary game executed in the first starting gaming state P3 or the second starting gaming state P4 is patterned A. In addition, when the small hit symbol random number of 51 to 155 is acquired and the small hit symbol 1 appears, or when the small hit symbol random number of 231 to 270 is acquired and the small hit symbol 2 appears, the first start game A pattern B is an opening / closing operation pattern of the movable member 38 of the auxiliary game executed in the state P3 or the second starting game state P4. In addition, when a small hitting design random number of 156 to 199 is acquired and a small hitting 1 appears, or when a small hitting design random number of 271 to 292 is acquired and a small hitting 2 appears, the first start game A pattern C is an opening / closing operation pattern of the movable member 38 of the auxiliary game executed in the state P3 or the second starting game state P4.

  When the movable member 38 is opened and closed in the pattern B, the state in which the movable member 38 is closed is generated longer than the state in which the movable member 38 is opened. In addition, it is easy to enter the specific winning area 57 if it is received from the right movable member 38b into the variable winning device 7. Further, when the movable member 38 is opened and closed in the pattern C, the state in which the movable member 38 is opened is generated longer than the state in which the movable member 38 is closed. It is easy to flow in, and if it is accepted from the left movable member 38 a into the variable winning device 7, it is easy to win the specific winning area 57. Therefore, the difficulty level of winning in the specific winning area 57 in the first start game state P3 or the second start game state P4 can be changed, and the fun of the game can be further enhanced.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 19, you may set so that the opening / closing operation | movement frequency of the movable member 38 may be varied instead of varying an opening / closing operation pattern based on a small hit design random number. For example, in the first special variation display game or the second special variation display game, when a small hit symbol random number of 0 to 50 is acquired and a small hit symbol 1 appears, or a small hit symbol random number of 200 to 230 is acquired. When the small hit 2 appears, the number of opening / closing operations of the movable member 38 of the auxiliary game executed in the first start game state P3 or the second start game state P4 may be one. In addition, when a small hit symbol random number of 51 to 155 is acquired and a small hit symbol 1 appears, or when a small hit symbol random number of 231 to 270 is acquired and a small hit symbol 2 appears, the first start game The number of opening / closing operations of the movable member 38 of the auxiliary game executed in the state P3 or the second starting game state P4 may be two. Further, when a small hitting design random number of 156 to 199 is acquired and a small hitting 1 appears, or when a small hitting design random number of 271 to 292 is acquired and a small hitting 2 appears, the first start game The number of opening / closing operations of the movable member 38 of the auxiliary game executed in the state P3 or the second starting game state P4 may be set to three times.

  In the modification of the second embodiment described above, regarding the special game executed in the special game state P5, the opening operation time and the closing operation time of the movable member 38 are set as the first special fluctuation display game or the second special fluctuation. You may make it differ based on the combination of the small winning symbol random number for determining a small winning in a display game, and the round execution frequency selected in the special game state P5.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 20A, an opening / closing operation pattern in which the opening operation time and the closing operation time of the movable member 38 are set to the same time is set as a pattern A, and the opening operation time is set longer than the closing operation time. The opened / closed operation patterns are referred to as patterns B and C, and the open / closed operation patterns in which the opening operation time is set shorter than the closing operation time are referred to as patterns D and E. Further, the opening / closing operation time of the movable member 38 per one time (small opening / closing time), more specifically, the time from the start of the conversion operation from the first state to the second state until the next return to the first state. In any pattern, it is set constant (800 ms). Furthermore, in pattern A, the opening operation time and the closing operation time are each set to 400 ms, in pattern B, the opening operation time is set to 700 ms and the closing time is set to 100 ms, and in pattern C, The opening operation time is set to 500 ms and the closing time is set to 300 ms. In pattern D, the opening operation time is set to 500 ms and the closing time is set to 300 ms. In pattern E, the opening operation time is set to 700 ms and the closing time is set to 100 ms.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 20B, when the number of round executions of the special game state P5 is selected to be 4 times (4R), 0 to 10 in the first special variation display game or the second special variation display game. If it is a special game based on small hits for which a small hit symbol random number has been acquired, the opening / closing operation pattern of the special game is pattern A, and the special game based on the small hits for which the small hit symbol random number of 11 to 20 has been acquired For example, if the opening / closing operation pattern of the special game is a pattern B, and the opening / closing operation pattern of the special game is a pattern C if it is a special game based on the small hits for which 21 to 30 small hit symbol random numbers are acquired. Further, when the number of round executions of the special game state P5 is selected to be 8 (8R), the small hits in which the small random numbers of 31 to 40 are acquired in the first special variation display game or the second special variation display game If it is a special game based on the game, the opening / closing operation pattern of the special game is set as the pattern A, and if it is a special game based on the small game where the random numbers of 41 to 50 are acquired, the opening / closing operation pattern of the special game is If it is a special game based on the small hits for which the small hit symbol random numbers 51 to 65 are acquired as the pattern B, the opening / closing operation pattern of the special game is set as the pattern D, and the small hit symbol random numbers 66 to 80 are acquired If it is a special game based on small hits, the pattern E is the opening / closing operation pattern of the special game. Furthermore, when the number of round executions of the special game state P5 is selected to be 16 (16R), the small hits in which the small random numbers of 81 to 90 are acquired in the first special variation display game or the second special variation display game If it is a special game based on the game, the opening / closing operation pattern of the special game is set as the pattern C, and if it is a special game based on the small game where the random numbers of 91 to 99 are acquired, the opening / closing operation pattern of the special game is Pattern D is assumed.

  When the movable member 38 is opened and closed with the patterns B and C, the state in which the movable member 38 is closed is generated longer than the state in which the movable member 38 is opened. It is easy to flow in, and if it is received from the right movable member 38b into the variable winning device 7, it is easy to win the specific winning area 57. In addition, when the movable member 38 is opened and closed with the patterns D and E, the state in which the movable member 38 is opened is generated longer than the state in which the movable member 38 is closed. It is easy to make it flow into the device 7, and it is easy to win the specific winning area 57 if it is received from the left movable member 38a into the variable winning device 7. Therefore, it is possible to change the difficulty level of winning in the specific winning area 57 in the special game state P5, and to further enhance the interest of the game.

  It should be noted that the combination of the small hit symbol random number and the opening / closing operation pattern described above is performed by executing the second special variation display game and executing the first special variation display game. Although it is configured to be applied when a winning design random number is acquired, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the combination applied when the small special symbol display random number is acquired by executing the first special variation display game, and the combination applied when the small special symbol random number is acquired by executing the second special variable display game. Different combinations may be used.

  In a special game, when a predetermined number of round executions (for example, 8R, 16R) is selected, the same opening / closing operation pattern is not applied at the time of execution of all rounds. The opening / closing operation of the movable member 38 may be executed.
