  By the way, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, when a game ball enters the above-mentioned center start winning opening 14, start gate 18, and side start winning opening 40A, the following three types of lotteries are performed, and the player can enjoy it. I can do it.

  Specifically, as the first type of lottery, every time a game ball enters the central start winning opening 14, a determination is made as to whether or not to execute the “first jackpot game”. The result is displayed on the liquid crystal display screen 34. On the liquid crystal display screen 34, usually three left, middle and right special symbols 13A, 13B and 13C are displayed side by side. Each of these special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C is composed of, for example, a plurality of types that express numbers from “0” to “11”. Usually, each special symbol 13A, 13B, and 13C has a predetermined value. Kinds of things are stopped. Then, when a game ball enters the central start winning opening 14 and the winning / no-go determination is made, these three special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are scrolled and displayed in a vertical direction (variable display), and after a predetermined time. For example, the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are stopped and displayed in the order of left, right, and middle. At this time, if the result of the game success / failure determination is “big hit”, for example, all of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are the same symbol, that is, a rough eye.

  When the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C enter the central start winning opening 14 during the variable display or “hit state” on the liquid crystal display screen 34, up to four winning balls are stored as holding balls, The number of stored memories (the number of held balls) is displayed using the upper half LEDs of the above-described number-of-holds display section 36. When the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are stopped or displayed, or the “hit state” is ended, the number of reserved memories is reduced by one, and again after the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are displayed in a variable manner and stopped. The game success / failure determination result is displayed. Here, the probability of winning the jackpot is set to 1/399, for example. If the result of the game success / failure determination is “big hit”, the central movable door 15T of the central big prize opening 15 is opened for a predetermined period.

  As described above, when a game ball enters the central start winning opening 14, whether or not to open the central large winning opening 15 is determined instead of simply opening the central large winning opening 15. In addition, since the central movable door 15T is opened and the central special prize opening 15 is opened for a predetermined period, the player can be entertained by determining whether or not it is successful. Then, an interest can be given to whether or not a game ball enters the central start winning opening 14, and after a game ball enters the central start winning opening 14, You can be interested in whether or not to enter the ball.

  As the second type of lottery, every time a game ball passes through the inside of the start gate 18, a preliminary determination as to whether or not the movable tongue piece 230 is to be operated is performed. It is displayed on the symbol display part 36F. Specifically, when the game ball passes through the inside of the start gate 18, after the numerical symbols composed of the numbers “0” to “9” are variably displayed over the predetermined period on the normal symbol display portion 36 </ b> F, A predetermined numerical symbol is stopped and displayed. At this time, when the stop-displayed number is an odd number, it is “win”, and when it is an even number, it is “out”. Here, the probability of winning is set to 99/100, for example.

  Then, when the result of the preliminary success / failure determination becomes a win, the movable tongue piece 230 moves forward over a predetermined period (for example, 0.088 seconds), and the revolving door 220 is opened following the movement, and the side start winning port 40A is opened. A game ball can be entered.

  When the game symbol passes through the inside of the start gate 18 while the numeric symbol is variably displayed or “winning state” in the normal symbol display unit 36F, up to four winning balls are stored as reserved balls, The number of reserved memories (the number of reserved balls) is displayed using the lower half LEDs of the above-described number-of-holds display section 36. When the numerical symbol is stopped or the “hit state” is finished, the number of reserved memories is reduced by one, and after the numerical symbol is variably displayed, it is stopped and displayed, and the preliminary determination result is displayed.

  As described above, the side start winning opening 40A is normally closed, and the game ball can enter due to the game ball passing through the inside of the start gate 18. It is possible to be interested in whether or not the game ball passes, and after the game ball passes through the inside of the start gate 18, it is interested in whether or not the game ball enters the side start winning opening 40A. Can be made. Moreover, when the game ball passes through the inside of the start gate 18, whether or not to open the side start winning opening 40A is determined instead of simply opening the side start winning opening 40A. Since the moving door 220 is opened and the movable tongue piece 230 is protruded to open the side start winning opening 40A for a predetermined period, it is possible to entertain the player by determining whether or not it is successful.

  As a third type of lottery, every time a game ball enters the side start winning opening 40A, it is determined whether or not to execute the “second jackpot game”, and the result of the determination is displayed on the liquid crystal display screen. 34. The display method of determination on the liquid crystal display screen 34 is the same as the display method of the determination result of “first jackpot game” as described above, such as decoration colors and patterns for the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C, and the liquid crystal The background images and the like of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C on the display screen 34 are different from the case of the determination result of “first jackpot game”. Here, the probability of winning a jackpot is set to 1/399, and the probability of hitting a jackpot is set to 398/399. That is, when a game ball enters the side start winning opening 40A, a big hit or a small hit is won. If the determination result of the game is “big hit”, the central movable door 15T of the central big prize opening 15 is opened for a predetermined period. When the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C enter the side start winning opening 40A while the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are variably displayed on the liquid crystal display screen 34, the winning balls are not held.

  Here, when the game determination result is a small hit, the side domain movable door 37T at the side big prize opening 37A is opened, and about 1 second after the side domain movable door 37T is opened, the continuous winning in the transparent case 38 is performed. The mouth opens for 0.388 seconds. Here, when the period between the opening and closing of the Sai domain movable door 37T is referred to as a “round”, one round ends when the opening time of the Sai Domain movable door 37T reaches 1.6 seconds. . Further, the “small hit state” (the opening operation of the rhino domain movable door 37T) is continued up to, for example, 16 rounds. After the “small hit state” is completed, the “short time state” is set with a probability of 25/50 (41/50 in the short time). If the game ball that entered the side big prize opening 37A does not enter the continuous prize opening, it will end in the first round, and if it enters the continuous prize opening, it will be movable from the next round. Without opening / closing the door 37T, it becomes a “hit state”, and the central movable door 15T of the central big prize opening 15 is opened / closed for a predetermined period, and the remaining rounds (for example, 15 rounds) are executed.

  Thus, the side domain movable door 37T of the side big prize opening 37A is normally closed, so that the game ball can enter due to the game ball entering the side start prize opening 40A. It is possible to make the player interested in whether or not a game ball enters the side start winning opening 40A. Moreover, when a game ball enters the side start winning opening 40A, it is determined whether to open the side domain movable door 37T of the side large winning opening 37A or the central movable door 15T of the central large winning opening 15, The side movable door 37T is opened for a predetermined period in the case of a small hit, and the central movable door 15T is opened for a predetermined period in the case of a big hit, so that the player can be entertained by the determination. In other words, after a game ball has entered the side start winning opening 40A, it can be interested whether or not the game ball enters the central grand prize opening 15 or the side large winning opening 37A.

  Furthermore, since the central movable door 15T of the central grand prize opening 15 is opened for a predetermined period due to the game ball having entered the side special prize opening 37A, the game ball enters the side special prize opening 37A. It is possible to be interested in whether or not to play, and after a game ball has entered the side big prize opening 37A, it may be interested in whether or not a game ball enters the central big prize opening 15. it can.

  As described above, the central grand prize opening 15 is configured to be opened and closed by the central movable door 15T, and a game ball enters the central start prize opening 14 provided on the upper side of the central big prize opening 15 to determine whether or not When the determination is a win and when the game ball enters the side start winning opening 40A and the determination is a big win (second win), the central movable door 15T of the central big win 15 is predetermined. Open over time. Here, when the period from when the central movable door 15T is opened until it is closed is referred to as “round”, for example, in one round, the opening time of the central movable door 15T has reached a predetermined time (30 seconds), or The process ends when any one of the predetermined number (10) of the game balls has entered the central prize winning opening 15 is satisfied first. Further, the “big hit state” (the opening operation of the central movable door 15T) is continued up to, for example, 15 rounds. Then, after the “big hit state” is completed, the “short time state” is set with a probability of 25/50 (41/50 during the short time).

  In the “short-time state”, the number of seconds for opening the revolving door 220 and the number of seconds for moving the movable tongue 230 are increased from, for example, 0.088 seconds in the normal state to 1.7 seconds. There will be 3 more games. By maintaining the advantageous state of “short time state”, it becomes easier to enter the side start winning opening 40A during the “short time state”, so that it becomes easier to obtain a winning ball than in the normal gaming state, It will be in the state which suppresses decrease of. And it can play a game until the next jackpot, suppressing reducing a ball.

  Next, the side start winning opening 40A and the winning mechanism unit 200 will be described in detail. As shown in FIG. 24, the side start winning opening 40A is formed through the right side base portion 24 of the frame base 23B as described above, and has a shape in which the lower end side of the quadrilateral is widened in a stepped shape.

On the other hand, the front surface of the rear pressing protrusion 242 is an open pressing portion 242Z according to the present invention, and this also rises vertically from the intermediate depressed flat surface 233N. In addition, the front surface of the front pressing protrusion 241 is parallel to the closing pressing portion 241K which is the rear surface, and gently inclines forward from the middle and extends to the rear ends of the outer downward inclined surfaces 240S and 240S described above. .

  The connecting recesses 234 and 234 of the movable tongue 230 are engaged with the lower end of the seesaw member 250, and the door drive protrusions 233 and 233 of the movable tongue 230 are engaged with the door rotation protrusion 224 of the rotation door 220. , 224 are engaged with each other. Accordingly, the movable tongue 230 is driven by receiving power from the solenoid 270 via the seesaw member 250, and the rotary door 220 is driven by receiving power from the movable tongue 230.

  First, transmission of power from the seesaw member 250 to the movable tongue piece 230 will be described. The coupling arms 251 and 251 of the seesaw member 250 are received in the interference avoiding recesses 235 and 235 among the coupling recesses 234 and 234 of the movable tongue 230, and the engaging grooves 236 and 236 of the coupling recesses 234 and 234 are received. 236 is engaged with the lower end connection convex portions 255 and 255 of the connection arms 251 and 251.

  Here, in a state where the solenoid 270 is not excited, the plunger 274 protrudes forward as shown in FIG. 17, and at this time, the lower end connecting projections 255 and 255 are positioned at the lower ends of the engagement grooves 236 and 236. is doing. At this time, the movable tongue piece 230 is disposed at the rear end position (corresponding to the “rear end retracted position” according to the present invention) of the linear movement range, and the protruding and projecting piece portion 240 is located at the back side of the side start winning prize opening 40A. Has been evacuated. When the solenoid 270 is excited from this state and the plunger 274 is attracted backward, the seesaw member 250 rotates about the rotation shafts 253 and 253 and the connecting arms 251 and 251 rotate forward. Thus, the lower end connecting convex portions 255 and 255 press the front sliding contact surfaces 236A and 236A forward while slidingly contacting the front sliding contact surfaces 236A and 236A. As a result, the movable tongue 230 is pushed forward of the gaming machine, and the projecting and projecting protruding piece 240 protrudes from the side start winning opening 40A to the front side of the game board 11 as shown in FIG. Then, for example, the end surface of the base portion 231 of the movable tongue piece 230 comes into contact with the opening edge of the side start winning opening 40A from the rear side, and the movable tongue piece 230 is positioned at the “front end operating position” according to the present invention. It stops, and the protrusion / projection piece 240 is in a state where it protrudes to the maximum extent from the side start winning prize opening 40A (see FIG. 19).

  When excitation of the solenoid 270 is stopped in a state where the movable tongue 230 is disposed at the front end operating position (the state of FIG. 19), the plunger 274 protrudes forward by the compression coil spring 276. Then, the lower end portion of the seesaw member 250 is rotated backward about the gaming machine around the rotation shaft portions 253 and 253, and the lower end portion of the seesaw member 250 is moved from the front position to the rear position from the rotation shaft portions 253 and 253. Moving. At this time, the lower end connecting convex portions 255 and 255 are slidably brought into contact with the rear sliding contact surfaces 236B and 236B of the engaging groove portions 236 and 236 and pushed backward. Thereby, the movable tongue piece 230 is drawn back to the gaming machine, and the protruding / projecting protrusion 240 is retracted to the back side of the side start winning prize opening 40A (see FIG. 20).

  Specifically, when the excitation of the solenoid 270 is stopped and the lower ends of the connecting arms 251 and 251 of the seesaw member 250 are rotated rearward, a change from FIG. 22 (A) to FIG. 22 (D) is shown. As described above, first, the upper edge E1 (the rear edge of the first plane M1) of the stopper recess 258 provided in the lower end connecting projection 255 comes into contact with the stopper contact surface 237S of the seesaw stopper 237 (see FIG. 22 (A)). As the seesaw member 250 rotates, the lower end connecting convex portion 255 is in sliding contact with the rear sliding contact surface 236B, and the lower end connecting convex portion 255 is positioned behind the rotating shaft portions 253 and 253 of the seesaw member 250. Sometimes, the lower edge portion E2 (lower end edge of the second plane M2) of the stopper recess 258 comes into contact with the lower portion of the rear sliding contact surface 236B from the seesaw stopper portion 237, and the engagement groove portion 236, The rear sliding contact surfaces 236B and 236B of 236 are pushed backward. Thereby, the movable tongue piece 230 can be returned to the initial position (rear end retracted position) by the elastic force of the compression coil spring 276.

  By the way, when a fraudulent act of pulling the movable tongue piece 230 retracted in the back of the side start winning opening 40A to the front surface of the game board 11 with, for example, a wire inserted from the gap of the game machine is performed, It becomes as follows. That is, the power is not transmitted from the solenoid 270 to the seesaw member 250, the power of the seesaw member 250 is transmitted from the movable tongue 230, and the connecting arms 251 and 251 of the seesaw member 250 are connected to the rear sliding surface 236B in the engaging groove 236. When pushed forward by the first flat surface M1 in the stopper recesses 258, 258 of the lower end connecting projections 255, 255 and the seesaw stopper, as shown in the change of FIG. 22 (D) to FIG. 22 (C). The stopper contact surface 237S of 237 is in surface contact. When the movable tongue piece 230 is further pulled forward from this state, the pulling force becomes an upward force F1 orthogonal to the stopper contact surface 237S of the step portion 237, and the center of the first plane M1 and the rotation axis The direction is substantially parallel to the direction connecting the center of the portion 253, that is, the direction substantially orthogonal to the rotation direction of the stopper recess 258. Accordingly, the rotation of the seesaw member 250 is restricted, and it becomes impossible to pull the movable tongue piece 230 forward and cause the protruding / projecting piece 240 to protrude forward of the side start winning opening 40A. Further, even if the seesaw member 250 is slightly lifted obliquely upward by the upward force F1, the triangular protrusion 257 formed on the connecting wall 252 of the seesaw member 250 engages with the flange portion 274F of the plunger 274. Thereby, the rotation of the seesaw member 250 is more reliably prohibited.

  Next, transmission of power from the movable tongue piece 230 to the rotary door 220 will be described. The door drive protrusions 233 and 233 of the movable tongue 230 are engaged with the door rotation protrusions 224 and 224 of the rotation door 220, respectively, so that the rotation door 220 receives power from the movable tongue 230. Receiving and turning. Specifically, in a state where the movable tongue piece 230 is disposed at the rear end retreat position and the entire protruding and projecting protrusion 240 is retracted to the back side of the side start winning opening 40A, the door turning protrusion 224 It arrange | positions above the stopper part 241J for doors in the press protrusion 241 (state of FIG. 17). At this time, the rotation shaft portion 223 of the rotation door 220 is located obliquely forward from the door rotation protrusion 224. At this time, the first space S <b> 1 according to the present invention is formed between the lower end portion of the door rotation protrusion 224 and the open pressing portion 242 </ b> Z of the rear pressing protrusion 242.

  Then, when the movable tongue 230 moves forward from the rear end retracted position, as shown in the changes to FIGS. 17 to 19, the front pressing protrusion 241 moves forward, and the lower end of the door rotation protrusion 224 The front pressing projection 241 does not face the door stopper 241J in the vertical direction, and the lower end of the door rotation projection 224 faces the intermediate depression flat surface 233N in the vertical direction, and the intermediate depression flat surface 233N. In the meantime, the rotation space of the door rotation protrusion 224 is secured.

  When the movable tongue piece 230 moves further forward, the lower end portion of the door turning protrusion 224 moves in the first space S1. During this time, the movable tongue piece 230 moves forward but the turning door. 220 is maintained in a stopped state. Then, as shown in FIG. 18, when the protruding and projecting protrusion 240 of the movable tongue 230 protrudes by a predetermined amount from the side start winning opening 40 </ b> A, the lower end of the door rotation protrusion 224 is the rear pressing protrusion 242. It contacts the front surface 242Z. Further, when the movable tongue piece 230 further advances, the door main wall 222A of the rotary door 220 is lifted, the side start winning opening 40A is opened (see FIGS. 18 and 19), and the movable tongue piece 230 is moved. When the front end operating position is reached, the rotary door 220 is fully opened, and a game ball can be won in the side start winning opening 40A. More specifically, when the rotating door 220 is pushed by the rear pressing protrusion 242 and rotates by a certain angle, the rotating door 220 is rotated toward the open end position by its own weight. In other words, the pivot door 220 starts the pivoting operation when the protruding / projecting piece 240 protrudes about half from the side start winning opening 40A, and then fully protrudes after the protruding / projecting piece 240 protrudes about half. During a relatively short period of time, the side start winning opening 40A changes from the fully closed state to the fully open state. As described above, in the present embodiment, the front opening prize is obtained by a two-step operation in which the movable door 230 starts moving forward and the pivot door 220 is stopped halfway and the pivot door 220 starts to open halfway. The mouth 40A is opened. When the game ball falls on the upper surface of the protruding / projecting piece 240 protruding from the side start winning opening 40A, the game ball is guided by the appearing / projecting protruding piece 240 to win the side start winning opening 40A. The game ball is detected by a detection switch 280 (see FIG. 15).

  In the state in which the pivot door 220 is completely opened, as shown in FIG. 19, the positioning contact portion 225 of the side wall 221 contacts the upper surface of the rear pressing projection 242 and the pivot door 220 is opened. Positioned at the end position. Thereby, shakiness of the rotation door 220 is controlled. Further, in this state, a second space S <b> 2 according to the present invention is formed between the lower end portion of the door rotation protrusion 224 and the open pressing portion 242 </ b> Z of the rear pressing protrusion 242.

  Further, when the movable tongue 230 is retracted from the front end operating position, the front pressing protrusion 241 moves rearward as shown in the change to FIGS. At this time, the lower end portion of the door turning protrusion 224 moves relatively toward the front pressing protrusion 241 in the second space S2. As a result, a part of the protruding and protruding protrusion 240 on the movable tongue 230 moves into the front opening winning opening 40A (from the state in which the door rotation protrusion 224 is in contact with the opening pressing portion 242Z to the closing pressing portion 241K. The revolving door 220 is maintained in an open state during the movement in the second space S2 until it comes into contact. The movable tongue piece 230 receives the front open prize by a predetermined amount (the distance that moves in the second space S2 from the state in which the door rotation protrusion 224 contacts the opening pressing portion 242Z until it contacts the closing pressing portion 241K). When moved into the opening 40 </ b> A, the closing pressing portion 241 </ b> K of the front pressing protrusion 241 comes into contact with the lower end portion of the door rotation protrusion 224. At this time, about half of the protruding and projecting protrusion 240 of the movable tongue 230 is accommodated in the side start winning opening 40A. Further, when the movable tongue piece 230 is further retracted, the rotary door 220 is closed as the movable tongue piece 230 is retracted, and the retractable protrusion piece portion 240 is completely retracted. The side start winning opening 40A is completely closed and stopped, and the movable tongue 230 is further retracted behind the side start winning opening 40A so that the lower end portion of the door turning protrusion 224 is connected to the door stopper 241J. Return to the initial state of facing up and down. As described above, in this embodiment, the front opening prize is obtained by a two-step operation in which the movable door piece 230 starts moving backward and stops until the middle, and the pivot door 220 starts to close halfway. The mouth 40A is closed.

  By the way, in a state where the side start winning opening 40A is closed (the state shown in FIG. 17), for example, when the rotary door 220 is to be pry open with a wire or the like, the door rotary protrusion 224 rotates to the opening side. The front-side pressing protrusion 241 contacts the door stopper 241J in the vertical direction. Thereby, unauthorized opening of the revolving door 220 is prohibited. Here, the direction in which the door rotation protrusion 224 pushes the door stopper 241J of the front pressing protrusion 241 is in the vertical direction, and is orthogonal to the movable direction (front-rear direction) of the movable tongue piece 230. Therefore, when an improper external force is applied to the rotating door 220, the door stopper portion 241J of the movable tongue 230 is reliably prevented from being illegally opened without being moved in the movable direction. Can do.

  The description regarding the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment has been described above. Next, the effect of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described. When a plurality of game balls are sequentially driven into the game area R1 by operating the operation knob 28, some of the game balls flow down from the upper area of the display frame 23 to the left side area in the game area R1. . Then, these game balls flow downward. Then, when the game ball wins the central start winning port 14 and the general winning ports 20, 21, the winning ball is paid out to the upper plate 27A. In addition, when winning at the central start winning opening 14, a lottery (whether or not is determined) whether or not to open the central movable door 15T is performed. If the lottery result is a win, the central movable door 15T is opened and the display frame body 23 is opened. Many of the game balls flowing down the lower area of the can enter the central grand prize opening 15.

  In addition, a part of the game balls that are driven into the game area R1 pass through a narrow area between the upper right portion of the display frame 23 and the guide rail 12 one by one, and a side area of the display frame 23 To the upper end of Then, the game balls flow down one by one through the side area of the display frame 23 through the gateway R2. Then, at the upper end portion of the right side region of the display frame body 23, the game ball is first divided into whether or not it passes through the inside of the start gate 18. Here, when the game ball passes through the inside of the start gate 18, a lottery is performed as to whether or not the side start prize opening 40A can be won. If the lottery result is a win, a predetermined period (for example, a normal game) In the state, it is possible to win the side start winning opening 40A once for 0.088 seconds and three times for 1.7 seconds in the short-time gaming state. When winning the side start winning opening 40A, a lottery is performed to determine whether to open the rhinodomain movable door 37T or the central movable door 15T. When the central movable door 37T opens and the central movable door 15T opens after entering the continuous winning opening of the transparent case 38, or when the central movable door 15T opens directly by lottery, a large amount to the central large winning opening 15 is obtained. It is possible to enter game balls and obtain many prize balls.

  Here, when the lottery result indicating whether or not the side start winning opening 40A can be awarded is a win, the movable tongue 230 moves forward in front of the side start winning opening 40A and moves the game ball to the side start winning opening. The revolving door 220 that opens the side start winning opening 40A is guided to 40A. As described above, in this embodiment, the movable tongue piece 230 separate from the rotating door 220 that opens the side start winning opening 40A guides the game ball to the side start winning opening 40A with an unprecedented operation. Can be entered, and the game's preference can be enhanced. Further, the opening of the side start winning opening 40A is performed in a two-step operation in which the movable tongue 230 moves forward and the revolving door 220 starts to open in the middle of the advancement. be able to. In addition, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, the winning of the game ball can be prevented until the movable tongue piece 230 can receive the game ball. Further, when a game ball is received on the side of the protrusion / projection piece 240, the game ball is repelled to the outside and does not enter the side start winning opening 40A, but the game ball is inserted in the middle of the protrusion / projection piece 240. When the ball is received, the game balls are gathered at the center of the in / out protrusion piece 240 in the width direction and guided to the back side of the side start winning opening 40A. The player can be interested in whether the ball is accepted.

  Further, after a predetermined period of time has passed since the movable tongue 230 protrudes, the movable tongue 230 is retracted and accommodated to some extent in the side start winning opening 40A, and then the rotating door 220 is closed to the side start winning opening 40A. Entry is restricted. Thus, in this embodiment, since the closing of the side start winning opening 40A is performed by a new operation that has not been conventionally performed, it is possible to give the player a fresh taste and enhance the taste. Here, if the door main wall 222A of the pivot door 220 moves vertically downward from the open end position and closes, the game ball received by the protruding and projecting piece 240 in the middle of the retraction of the movable tongue 230 is the door main. There is a possibility that the wall 222A will repel the outside. However, in the present embodiment, the door main wall 222A rotates around the rotation shaft portion 223 so as to scrape the game ball into the back side of the side start winning opening 40A, so that it is easy to win the game ball. Can please the player.

  By the way, in this pachinko gaming machine 10, with the side start winning opening 40A closed (see FIG. 17), the turning door 220 is illegally opened, and a game is performed in that state to play the game ball at the side start winning opening 40A. There is a possibility that an illegal act of entering the ball and acquiring a prize ball may be performed. However, in the present embodiment, as described above, when the side start winning opening 40A is closed, the rotation of the door rotation protrusion 224 is restricted by the door stopper 241J. Can be removed. Moreover, since the door rotation protrusions 224 are arranged on both sides of the rotation door 220 and the door stoppers 241J are arranged on both sides of the movable tongue 230, the door rotation protrusions 224, the door Compared with the case where only one set of stopper portions 241J is provided, the load is distributed and deformation is prevented.

  In addition, there is a possibility that an illegal act of illegally pulling out the movable tongue piece 230, playing a game in this state, causing the game ball to enter the side start winning opening 40A, and acquiring a prize ball may be performed. In this embodiment, since the seesaw stopper 237 restricts the rotation of the seesaw member 250 even if the movable tongue 230 is pulled illegally, such an illegal act can also be prevented.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, the game ball is taken into the side start winning port 40A by using the movable tongue piece 230 as a guide instead of the rotating door 220 that opens and closes the side start winning port 40A. Since the game ball is won through the operation, the game preference can be improved. Moreover, even if the side door winning opening 40A is closed and attempts to open the revolving door 220 illegally, the door stopper 241J restricts the opening operation of the revolving door 220, so that the revolving door 220 is illegally opened. Can be prevented.
