The game board 15 is made of, for example, a plate material such as veneer or polycarbonate. A guide rail 16 for guiding a game ball fired by the launching means is annularly mounted on the front side of the game board 15. In addition to unit parts such as the central display unit 21, the start winning unit 22, the first grand prize unit 23, the second big prize unit 24, the normal prize unit 25, etc., a number of game nails (not shown) are provided in the inner game area 17. Is arranged. Further, in addition to various display means such as the normal symbol display means 27, the normal reserved number display means 28, the first special symbol display means 29a, the second special symbol display means 29b, etc. A starting means 31, a first special symbol starting means 32, a second special symbol starting means 33, a first big winning means 34, a second big winning means 35, a plurality of ordinary winning means 36, and the like are provided.

  The central display unit 21 constitutes a display frame of the image display means 37 made up of liquid crystal display means and the like. For example, the central display unit 21 is arranged on the upper side in the approximate center of the game area 17 in the left-right direction. Corresponding to the image display means 37 supported, it is detachably fixed to the front side of the game board 15. The image display means 37 constitutes an effect symbol display means 38, a first special reserved number display means 39a, a second special reserved number display means 39b, and the like.

  The central display unit 21 contacts the front side of the game board 15 and is fixed to the game board 15 with a fixing screw or the like, and the inner area 21a corresponding to the image display means 37 etc. A display frame 42 that projects from the front side of the face plate 41 is integrally provided, for example, and game balls that are driven into the upper side of the game area 17 by the launching means are distributed to the left and right at the top of the display frame 42, The display unit 21 is configured to flow down either the left-side down flow path 43a on the left side or the right-side down flow path 43b on the right side of the display unit 21.

  On the front side of the central display unit 21, for example, a normal symbol starting means 31 including a passing gate through which a game ball can pass is arranged at the lower right side, and the game ball flowing down the right flow path 43 b is the normal symbol start. It can pass through the means 31. The normal symbol starting means 31 is for starting the normal symbol variation display by the normal symbol display means 27, and includes a passage detecting means 31a capable of detecting a passing ball.

  The normal symbol display means 27, which is triggered by the detection of the game ball by the passage detection means 31a of the normal symbol starting means 31, is, for example, two illuminants corresponding to two types of normal symbols of “O” and “X” ( For example, LED) and is arranged on the front side of the central display unit 21, etc., and the game ball passes through the normal symbol starting means 31 and the passage detection means 31a detects the game ball. When the illuminant blinks alternately for a predetermined time and the winning determination random number value acquired when the game ball is detected by the passage detecting means 31a matches the predetermined winning determination value, the “◯” side corresponding to the winning mode In other cases, the flashing ends when the “×” side light emitter corresponding to the disengagement state emits light.

  Further, when the passage detection means 31a of the normal symbol starting means 31 detects a game ball during the fluctuation display of the normal symbol display means 27 or during the normal profit state described later, the hit determination random number value acquired at the time of detection, etc. Random number information consisting of a predetermined upper limit reserved number, for example, 4 is stored as a limit, and the normal reserved number display means 28 composed of the same number of light emitters as the upper limit reserved number, for example, stores the number of random number information according to the number of emitted light. (Hereinafter, the number of normal holdings) is displayed to inform the player of the number of normal holdings at that time. The normal reserved number display means 28 is disposed, for example, on the front side of the central display unit 21 or the like.

  Further, the central display unit 21 is provided with a warp inlet 44 on one of the left and right sides, for example, the left side, and a game ball that has entered the warp inlet 44 is freely rolled at the front lower portion of the image display means 37 to the left and right. A central drop part 45 at the center in the direction or a stage 46 for dropping from the side is provided.

  Below the central display unit 21, a start winning unit 22 and a first big winning unit 23 are arranged adjacent to each other in the vertical direction in the center of the gaming area 17, and a second big winning unit 24 is arranged on the right side thereof. However, the normal winning units 25 are arranged on the left side. The first special symbol starting means 32 and the second special symbol starting means 33 are the starting prize unit 22, the first big winning means 34 is the first big winning unit 23, and the second big winning means 35 is the second big prize. A plurality (three in this case) of normal winning means 36 are provided in the normal winning unit 25 in the winning unit 24, respectively.

  The first special symbol starting means 32 is for starting the symbol variation by the first special symbol display means 29a, and is constituted by, for example, a non-opening / closing type winning means having no opening / closing means, and detects a winning game ball. A game ball detecting means 32a is provided. The first special symbol starting means 32 is disposed, for example, in an upward opening shape below the central dropping portion 45 of the central display unit 21, and a route for winning through the stage 46 from the warp inlet 44 on the left flow path 43a side. Therefore, the game ball flowing down the left flow path 43a can be won with a higher probability than the game ball flowing down the right flow path 43b.

  The second special symbol starting means 33 is for starting the symbol variation by the second special symbol display means 29b. For example, the operation of the pair of left and right opening / closing means 47 allows the game ball to be won and the prize cannot be won ( Or open / close-type winning means that can change to a closed state that is more difficult to win than an open state), and is provided with a game ball detecting means 33a that detects a winning game ball. The opening / closing means 47 changes from the closed state to the open state for a predetermined time when the stop symbol is in a hit state. The second special symbol starting means 33 is disposed, for example, below the first special symbol starting means 32. For example, the second special symbol starting means 33 has a right flow path 43b that is less than the game ball that has flowed down the left flow path 43a due to a nail arrangement or the like. The game balls that have flowed down are more likely to win prizes.

  The first special symbol display means 29a that operates on the condition that the first special symbol starting means 32 wins a game ball and the second special symbol that operates on the condition that the second special symbol starting means 33 wins a game ball. The symbol display means 29b is arranged, for example, on the front side of the central display unit 21, and each one or a plurality of, for example, one each of the first and second special symbols can be displayed by a variable display means such as a 7-segment type. The first special symbol display means 29a is provided on the condition that the game ball wins the first special symbol start means 32, and the second special symbol display means 29b is the game ball on the second special symbol start means 33. The jackpot determination random number value acquired when winning the game ball to the first and second special symbol starting means 32 and 33 by displaying the first and second special symbols for a predetermined time on the condition that the player wins. Is predetermined In certain jackpot aspect when matching the obtained jackpot determination value, so as to respectively stop in off mode otherwise.

  In addition, although a number symbol etc. may be used for the 1st special symbol and the 2nd special symbol, it is special such as a combination of arbitrary lines and points so that the player cannot easily distinguish the type of stop symbol form. It is desirable to use a design that has no meaning.

  In addition, when a game ball wins the first and second special symbol starting means 32 and 33 during the fluctuation display of the first and second special symbols or during the special profit state described later, the jackpot acquired at the time of winning the prize Each of the determination random number values and the like is stored with a predetermined upper limit reserved number, for example, each four as a limit, and the first and second special reserved number display means 39a and 39b respectively store the number of jackpot determination random number values (hereinafter referred to as the first number). , Referred to as the second special reserved number), and the player is notified of the first and second special reserved numbers at that time.

  In the present embodiment, the symbol variation of the first and second special symbol display means 29a, 29b is not started during the special profit state, and one of the first and second special symbol display means 29a, 29b is not started. During the fluctuation, the other symbol fluctuation is not started and both are controlled so as not to be fluctuating at the same time. Further, when both the first and second special symbol display means 29a and 29b are in a state where the symbol variation can be started, the second special symbol display means 29b is more likely than the symbol variation of the first special symbol display means 29a. Control is performed so as to prioritize symbol variation.

  Further, during the change of the first and second special symbols by the first and second special symbol display means 29a and 29b, the effect symbols are displayed in a variable manner by the effect symbol display means 38 on the image display means 37. ing. The effect symbol display means 38 is configured such that one or a plurality of effect symbols, for example, three effect symbols in the left-right direction can be variably displayed together with various effect images, for example, and at the same time as the first and second special symbols start to change. The effect symbols are started in accordance with a predetermined variation pattern, and the effect symbols are stopped in a predetermined order such as left, right, and middle so that the first and second special symbols are stopped at the same time as the change stop. Yes.

  Since the first and second special symbol display means 29a and 29b do not fluctuate simultaneously as described above, the effect symbol of the effect symbol display means 38 is synchronized with either the first or second special symbol. However, the effect symbol display means 38 may perform an effect that is not directly related to the variation contents of the first and second special symbols.

  For example, 10 kinds of numerical symbols from “0” to “9” are used for the production symbol, and all three symbols, such as “6, 6, 6” and “7, 7, 7”, are all in the same pattern. Is a big hit mode, and at least one pattern is different. In addition, the stop symbol after the change of the effect symbol by the effect symbol display means 38 becomes a big hit mode when the first and second special symbols by the first and second special symbol display means 29a, 29b stop in the big hit mode. In the case where the first and second special symbols stop in a detaching manner, any detaching manner is used.

  The first big winning means 34 is constituted by an open / close-type winning means that can be changed between an open state in which a game ball can win a prize and a closed state in which a prize cannot be won by the operation of the opening / closing member 48, for example, first and second special symbols. It is arranged below the starting means 32, 33. The opening / closing member 48 of the first big winning means 34 is, for example, a horizontally-long rectangular plate corresponding to the first big winning opening 49 formed in a forward-facing opening, and around a rotation axis in the left-right direction provided on the lower side. The first prize winning port 49 is closed along the front surface of the game board 15 in the closed state, and the upper side projects forward from the front surface of the game board 15 in the open state. The game ball that has fallen downward and falls on the upper side thereof is guided into the first grand prize winning port 49. The first big winning means 34 includes a game ball detecting means 34a for detecting a winning game ball.

  The second big winning means 35 is configured by an open / close-type winning means that can be changed between an open state in which a game ball can win a prize and a closed state in which a prize cannot be won by the operation of the opening / closing member 51, for example, first and second special symbols. It is arranged on the right flow path 43b upstream of the starting means 32, 33 and the first big winning means 34 and downstream of the normal symbol starting means 31. The opening / closing member 51 of the second big winning means 35 is, for example, a horizontally-long rectangular plate corresponding to the second big winning opening 52 formed in a forward-facing opening shape, around a rotation axis in the left-right direction provided on the lower side. The second prize winning port 52 is closed along the front surface of the game board 15 in the closed state, and the upper side projects forward from the front surface of the game board 15 in the open state. The game ball that has fallen downward and falls on the upper side thereof is guided into the second big prize opening 52.

  In addition, the second grand prize winning means 35 distributes a plurality of areas, for example, the specific area 53a and the normal area 53b, and the game balls won in the second big prize opening 52 into the specific area 53a and the normal area 53b. For example, the distribution means 54, the specific game ball detection means 55a for detecting the game ball flowing into the specific area 53a, the normal game ball detection means 55b for detecting the game ball flowing into the normal area 53b, and the winning game balls are distributed. And a game ball detecting means 35a for detecting upstream of the means 54. The game balls won in the second big winning opening 52 are detected by the game ball detection means 35a, and then guided to either the specific area 53a or the normal area 53b by the distribution means 54, and the specific game ball detection means 55a. After being detected by any of the normal game ball detecting means 55b, it is guided to the back side of the game board 15.

  The specific area 53a and the normal area 53b are arranged adjacent to each other on the left and right, for example. As shown in FIG. 7 and the like, the distribution unit 54 corresponds to, for example, the upper side of the specific area 53a and the normal area 53b. And a distribution drive means 57 for driving the distribution piece 56. The distribution piece 56 reciprocates left and right in a predetermined pattern by the distribution drive means 57, thereby preventing the inflow to the specific area 53a side and guiding the game ball to the normal area 53b side (see FIG. 7). It is possible to switch between a specific guidance state (shown by a one-dot chain line in FIG. 7) and guiding the game ball to the specific area 53a side while preventing inflow to the normal area 53b side. The second big winning means 35 is opened during the special profit state that occurs when the stop symbol after the change of any of the first and second special symbol display means 29a, 29b becomes a big hit mode. When the game ball won in the winning means 35 is guided to the specific area 53a side, for example, a certain change state occurs after the end of the special profit state. Occur.

  During the short-time state, the fluctuation time is switched to a shortened fluctuation time shorter than the normal fluctuation time for the first and second special symbols, and the normal probability (for example, 1/10) to the high probability (for example, 1/10) for the normal symbol. 1 / 1.3), the fluctuation time is changed from the normal fluctuation time (for example, 27 seconds) to the shortened fluctuation time (for example, 2.7 seconds), and the opening / closing pattern of the second special symbol starting means 33 is changed to the normal opening / closing pattern (for example, .0. It is possible to switch from a special opening / closing pattern (for example, 2 seconds × 3 times opening) to a special opening / closing pattern. The short-time state starts after the special profit state ends, for example, and then the first and second special symbols change a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times) or the next special profit state has been started by then. End at the moment.

  During the probability variation state, the number of jackpot determination values is increased from 1 to 10, for example, compared to the other normal probability states, so that the probability that the first and second special symbols are in the jackpot mode is the normal probability ( For example, it is switched to a high probability (for example, 1/35) higher than 1/350) and, for example, processing similar to the time-short state is also performed. Note that the probability change state starts after the special profit state ends, for example, and ends when the next special profit state is started, but a predetermined end condition is satisfied by the time the next special profit state starts (special symbol). May be terminated at that time when the number of times is changed, the falling lottery is won, etc.).

  The first grand prize winning means 34 and the second big prize winning means 35 are configured to be opened according to a predetermined opening pattern during the special profit state. The opening pattern of the first and second grand prize winning means 33, 34 is, for example, a predetermined time (for example, 29 seconds) from when one of the first and second big prize winning means 34, 35 is opened, or a predetermined time until that time. The operation of closing on condition that the number of game balls (for example, 10) wins is defined as one round, and is set to repeat a predetermined round with a predetermined interval interval between rounds.

  The opening pattern of the first and second big winning means 34, 35 is selected from a plurality of types according to, for example, the type of the big win mode, the type of the special gaming state generated after the end of the special profit state, etc. To do. FIG. 3 shows an example of an open pattern (referred to as a probable change open pattern) in a special profit state in which a probability change state will occur after completion. This probability variation opening pattern is composed of 13 rounds, of which the 6th round is a special round in which the second grand prize winning means 35 is opened, and the other 1st to 5th, 7th to 13th rounds are the 1st big. It is a normal round in which the winning means 34 is opened.

  The sixth round in which the second big winning means 35 is opened is set to a shorter opening time (for example, 15 seconds) than the other rounds in which the first big winning means 34 is opened, for example. Also, during this sixth round, the time during which the distribution means 54 provided in the second grand prize winning means 35 is in the specific guidance state is very long compared to the time during which it is in the normal guidance state. The game balls won in the big winning means 35 are guided to the specific area 53a side with a very high probability.

  In addition, although illustration is omitted, in the case of an opening pattern in a special profit state (which is referred to as a non-probability changing opening pattern) in which a probability variation state does not occur after completion (a short-time state occurs), a special that opens the second big winning means 35 The game ball is guided to the specific area 53a because the opening time of the round is extremely short or the time during which the sorting means 54 is in the specific guidance state is very short compared to the time during which the distribution means 54 is in the normal guidance state. The probability is set to be extremely low.

  Next, the configuration of the second grand prize unit 24 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. The second grand prize unit 24 includes a second grand prize means 35 and the like, and is detachably mounted from the front side with respect to a mounting hole 15a (see FIG. 10) penetrating in the front-rear direction formed in the game board 15. . The second grand prize winning means (ball entry means) 35 includes the second grand prize winning opening (ball entry opening) 52, the opening / closing member 51, the game ball detection means 35a, the specific area 53a, the normal area 53b, and the specific game ball detection means. In addition to the normal game ball detecting means 55b and the distributing means 54, the opening / closing driving means (driving means) 61 for opening and closing the opening / closing member 51 and the driving force of the opening / closing driving means 61 are transmitted to the opening / closing member (movable body) 51. Interlocking means 62, winning room 63 for receiving game balls won in the second grand prize opening 52, winning guide path 64 for guiding game balls in the winning room 63 to the sorting piece 56 side of the distributing means 54, this winning guide path 64, a specific branch passage 65a that branches into the specific region 53a side and the normal region 53b side, a normal branch passage 65b, and the like are provided.
