The jackpot determination random number value included in the special random number information acquired when the first special symbol starter 26 and the second special symbol starter 27 detect the game ball is changed with a predetermined jackpot determination value. If they match, the operation is stopped in a predetermined jackpot mode (specific mode), and in other cases, it is stopped in an off mode.

  Note that the first special symbol and the second special symbol after the change become a big hit mode with a normal probability such as 1/350 in the normal probability state, and a special profit state occurs. After the special profit state is finished, for example, a high probability state is obtained with a predetermined probability, and the first special symbol and the second special symbol are 1/35 etc., and a big hit mode with a higher probability than the normal probability. Further, for example, when one of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is fluctuating, the other does not fluctuate, and neither fluctuates during the special profit state. Further, the start detection of each special symbol can be suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4), and when both have one or more suspensions, the symbol variation of the second special symbol display means 32 has priority.

  The image display means 23 constitutes the effect symbol display means 48 and the like corresponding to the first special symbol display means 31 and the second special symbol display means 32, and the symbol changes when the first special symbol and the second special symbol change. One or a plurality of, for example, three effect symbols 48a to 48c, which fluctuate in synchronization with each other, are variably displayed. The effect symbols 48a to 48c change for a predetermined time according to a predetermined effect symbol variation pattern determined by lottery on condition that the first special symbol starter 26 and the second special symbol starter 27 detect the game balls. It stops sequentially in a predetermined order in synchronization with the end of change of the first special symbol and the second special symbol.

  When the first special symbol and the second special symbol are stopped in the big hit mode, the stop symbols after the change of the directing symbols 48a to 48c are, for example, the production big hit mode in which all are arranged, and the first special symbol and the second special symbol are When stopping in the off mode, at least a part of the performance is off. For example, numerical symbols from 0 to 9 are used for the production symbols 48a to 48c.

  The first special symbol starting means 26 is a non-opening / closing type and has a first special starting port 26a having an upward opening on the lower side of the central display frame 22 so that a game ball won in the first special starting port 26a can be detected.

For example, the opening / closing member 27b is disposed below the first special symbol starting means 26. The second special symbol starting means 27 is configured such that the opening / closing member 27b opens forward according to a predetermined opening / closing pattern in a normal profit state that occurs when the stop symbol after the fluctuation of the normal symbol display means 30 stops in a hit state. For example, the game ball guided on the open / close member 27b in the open state by the guide member 27c is guided backward to win the second special start port 27a. The opening / closing pattern of the second special symbol starting means 27 includes a normal pattern with a short opening time (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 time) and an extended pattern with a long opening time (for example, 2 seconds × 3 times). The normal pattern is selected during the probability state, and the extended pattern is selected during the high probability state.

  The open / close winning means 28 includes an open / close variable opening 28a that is formed in, for example, a forward-facing opening and an open / close plate 28b that swings around the horizontal axis on the lower side and can open and close the variable winning opening 28a. In the formula, for example, it is arranged below the central display frame 22 between the normal symbol starting means 25 and the second special symbol starting means 27. In the special profit state that occurs when the first special symbol after change and the second special symbol are stopped in a big hit state, the open / close winning means 28 opens and closes the open / close plate 28b to the front side according to a predetermined opening pattern. The game ball that has fallen on the opening / closing plate 28b is guided backward to win the variable winning opening 28a.

  Note that the opening / closing winning means 28 has an opening pattern in which an opening / closing operation that closes at the earlier one of a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls winning or a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) has elapsed after opening.
