[First Embodiment]
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment includes the game board 11 shown in FIG. 2 behind the front frame 10Z shown in FIG. 1, and visually recognizes the game area R1 of the game board 11 through the glass window 10W of the front frame 10Z. be able to. In the following description, the right side (right side in FIG. 1) of the gaming machine 10 from the front side is simply referred to as “right side”, and the opposite side is simply referred to as “left side”.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the game area R1 is entirely surrounded by the guide rail 12, and includes an entrance 12A at the upper left portion of the game area R1. Then, when the launch handle 28 (see FIG. 1) at the lower right on the front side of the gaming machine 10 is rotated, the game balls in the front plate 27 are driven into the game area R1 through the entrance 12A with a launch intensity corresponding to the operation amount. It is.

  A display opening 11H that penetrates the game board 11 is formed in the game area R1, and a decorative frame 23 is fitted from the front. The upper side and both side sides of the decorative frame 23 protrude from the front surface of the game board 11 with a size approximately equal to the diameter of the game ball. Thus, the game ball is restricted from entering the inside of the decorative frame 23, and the game area R1 is divided into an upper game area, a lower game area, a left game area, and a right game area.

  A display device 13 is provided behind the game board 11, and a liquid crystal display screen 13 </ b> G of the display device 13 faces forward through an effect window 23 </ b> W inside the decorative frame 23.

  A rolling stage 24 on which a game ball can roll is provided at the lower side of the decorative frame 23, and the game ball rolls through the warp tube 24 </ b> R extending from the left side of the decorative frame 23 toward the rolling stage 24. It is possible to enter above. Further, the rolling stage 24 has a fall prevention wall 24W at the front edge, and a discharge port 24A formed by cutting the fall prevention wall 24W at the center in the left-right direction of the rolling stage 24 and both lateral portions thereof. 24B and 24B are formed. Then, the game ball rolling on the rolling stage 24 rolls toward the center and is discharged out of the decorative frame 23 from any of the discharge ports 24A, 24B, 24B.

  The first start winning port 14A, the second start winning port 14B, and the out port 16 are arranged at intervals from the top right below the central discharge port 24A. The first start winning opening 14A has a pocket structure that is always open on the upper surface of the protrusion protruding from the front surface of the game area R1.

  The second start winning opening 14B is opened to the front surface of the game area R1, and normally, the opening is closed by the turning door 14T, and the turning door 14T is opened due to the establishment of a predetermined condition. A tongue piece (not shown) protrudes from the base, and the game ball is taken into the second start winning opening 14B using the tongue piece as a guide.

  The out port 16 is open to the front surface of the game area R1 and is positioned at the lowermost end of the entire game area R1, and a game ball that has not won any winning hole such as the first start winning port 14A is an out port. 16 flows in. Note that the second start winning port 14B and the out port 16 are covered from the front by a front cover 14D arranged with a space corresponding to one game ball from the front of the game area R1.

  Two normal winning ports 20, 20 are provided on the left side of the first starting winning port 14A, and a large winning port 15 and an ordinary winning port 20 are provided on the right side of the first starting winning port 14A. The normal winning opening 20 has the same pocket structure as the first starting winning opening 14A.

  The special winning opening 15 is a horizontally long rectangle opened at the front of the game area R1, and is always closed by the rotating door 15T. Then, due to the success / failure determination to be described later, the turning door 15T turns around the lower end portion to be in a forward leaning posture, and a large amount of game balls are taken into the big winning opening 15. In addition, a rolling guide portion 15S for guiding the game ball flowing down the right game area to the second start winning port 14B is provided below the special winning port 15. In addition, a start gate 18 is provided above the special winning opening 15 at one end in the left-right direction of the right game area. In addition, a plurality of obstacle nails (not shown) are distributed over substantially the entire game area R1.

  Each time a game ball wins each of the above-described winning openings 14A, 14B, 15, and 20, a predetermined plurality of game balls are paid out to the front plate 27 (see FIG. 1) as prize balls. In addition, the number of winning balls for winning in the big winning opening 15 is larger than the number of winning balls for winning in the other winning openings 14A, 14B, and 20. However, the special winning opening 15 is normally closed as described above. Therefore, the player can enjoy the game as follows while hoping that the special prize opening 15 is opened.

  That is, when a game ball wins the first and second start winning ports 14A and 14B, for example, a lottery (hereinafter referred to as “special drawing determination”) is made with a predetermined probability, and the lottery result To display the first to third special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C in a side-by-side state on the liquid crystal display screen 13G. Each of the special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C is composed of a plurality of types, and after they are scroll-displayed over a predetermined fluctuation period, they are stopped and displayed, and the first to third special symbols at that time are displayed. Whether or not the determination result is a win (this is referred to as “big hit”) is notified depending on whether or not the symbol combination is a winning symbol combination (for example, a crocodile). When a big hit is made, a big hit game in which the revolving door 15T is opened a predetermined number of times over a predetermined opening period is executed, and a large amount of game balls can be won in the big winning opening 15.

  In order to win the above jackpot, the player hits the first and second start winning ports 14A and 14B for winning. Here, the first start winning opening 14A is easier for a game ball flowing down the left game area to win, and the second start winning opening 14B is easier to win when flowing down the right game area. Further, as described above, the second start winning opening 14B is normally closed. In order to open the second start winning opening 14B, the game ball needs to pass through the start gate 18. When the game ball passes through the start gate 18, for example, a lottery (hereinafter referred to as “normal determination”) is performed with a probability of ½. Then, after one group of normal symbols 13D is variably displayed over a predetermined fluctuation period on the liquid crystal display screen 13G, the normal symbol which is either hit or miss (for example, odd or even) is stopped and displayed. The determination result of the determination is notified. If it hits there, the turning door 14T opens over a predetermined opening period, and the game ball can be won in the second start winning opening 14B. However, in the normal state, since the opening period of the rotary door 14T is extremely short, it is very difficult to win a game ball in the second start winning opening 14B. On the other hand, in the “short time state” described later, the opening period of the rotating door 14T becomes longer than the normal state, and the winning to the second start winning opening 14B becomes easy.

  In addition, the “normal determination determination right / no-right determination right” generated by the passage of the start gate 18 and the “special drawing determination right / left determination right” generated by winning in the first or second start winning opening 14A, 14B are both Up to four are both stored and stored, and the number of reservations is notified by the number of lighting of the lighting display portions 14H and 18H provided outside the game area R1 on the front surface of the game board 11.

  Some jackpots have bonuses and some don't. If one of the benefits is the above-mentioned “short time” and the “hits” privilege is attached to the jackpot (that is, “hits with time”), the fluctuation period of the usual figure determination is short after the jackpot game is executed. And the opening period of the rotating door 14T of the second start winning opening 14B becomes longer. As a result, the frequency of occurrence of the common game determination increases, and it becomes easier to win the second start winning opening 14B.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine 10 according to the present embodiment, the left-handed game ball is made to flow down to the left game area until the winning jackpot with a short time is allocated, and the gaming ball is allowed to flow down to the right gaming area after the big hit with the time limit is allocated. It is preferable to make a right-handed strike, and an image suggesting such a strike is displayed on the liquid crystal display screen 13G.

  In addition, the bonus includes a big hit with “probability”. When it is a big hit with probability variation, after executing the big hit game, the probability of making a big hit in the special figure determination becomes higher (1/200) than the normal probability (for example, 1/400). In addition, “probability change” is always added with “short time”, and only “probability change” may disappear due to a predetermined condition, resulting in a “short time state without probability change”. In addition, whether or not the above-mentioned privilege is awarded to the jackpot is determined by lottery, and if the symbol combination is “777” when the special figure judgment is stopped after the variable display, it is set to be a jackpot with probability variation and time reduction Has been.

  Further, when the above-described special symbols 13A, 13B, and 13C are variably displayed, then, for example, the left, right, and center special symbols 13A, 13C, and 13B are stopped in this order. Therefore, in the case of a big hit, the central special symbol 13B becomes the same symbol (that is, a glance) through the reach state in which the left and right special symbols 13A and 13C are stopped at the same symbol. Then, during the notification of the special figure determination, an effect design for predicting a big hit is displayed in addition to the special design to raise the player's feelings. Further, by operating the operation handle 29 (see FIG. 1) provided at the lower left of the front surface of the gaming machine 10, the contents of the effect design changes, and this also raises the player's feelings.

  In the gaming machine 10 of the present embodiment, in addition to the image effect by the liquid crystal display screen 13G, the light display effect by the light emitting panel 70 shown in FIG. 2 is performed. The light emitting panel 70 is provided on the upper side of the decorative frame 23. That is, on the decorative frame 23, the beam member 23A extends substantially horizontally between the positions near the upper ends of the left and right edges (positions slightly lower than the entrance 12A). It constitutes the bottom of the upper side. Further, the upright member 23B rises upward from the left-side position of the beam member 23A, and the upper end portion of the upright member 23B and the right end portion of the beam member 23A are connected by an arc-shaped upper edge member 23C. And the light emission panel 70 is integrated inside the upper side frame 23D comprised by 23 A of beam members, the standing member 23B, and the upper edge member 23C.

  The upper part of the left end portion of the beam member 23A is covered with a front cover 23E from the front with a space corresponding to one game ball from the front of the game area R1. Then, when the game ball that has entered the game area R1 from the entrance 12A collides with the standing member 23B, it passes through the rear of the front cover 23E and flows down to the left game area. The upper edge member 23C and the guide rail 12 are connected to the right game area of the game area R1 with a width corresponding to one game ball. The game ball that has passed over the upright member 23B flows down the right game area.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the light-emitting panel 70 has a light emitting groove 71 </ b> A that has the letters “THE 777” on the rear side of the first translucent member 71 that has a light emitting groove 71 </ b> A on the rear surface. A second translucent member 72 having a protrusion 72A on the front surface is provided in an overlapping manner. In addition, a strip-shaped first light emitting substrate 73 is opposed to the lower surface of the first light transmissive member 71, and a second light emitting substrate 74 having substantially the same shape as the second light transmissive member 72 is opposed to the rear surface of the second light transmissive member 72. Has been placed.

Light enters the second light transmissive member 72 from the rear surface, and the light emitting protrusion 72A emits light.

  In addition, a light shielding sheet 75, a partition sheet 76, and a diffusion sheet 77 are stacked between the first light transmissive member 71 and the second light transmissive member 72 in order from the front side. The light shielding sheet 75 restricts the second light transmissive member 72 from being irradiated with light from the front. The partition sheet 76 is formed by laminating a black light-shielding layer on a transmissive sheet, and a part of the light-shielding layer is removed in the same shape as the light emitting protrusion 72A to have a light-transmitting part 76A. Yes. The diffusion sheet 77 has a milky color similar to that of frosted glass, and plays a role of diffusing the light of the LED of the second light emitting substrate 74. A transparent protective sheet 23S is stretched inside the upper frame 23D.

  If the result of the special figure determination is a normal big hit that does not change with certainty, the LED 72L of the first light emitting board 72 emits light, while the LED 74L of the second light emitting board 74 does not emit light, and the light emitting panel 70. A light display effect is displayed in which a light letter “big hit” is displayed. Further, when the result of the special figure determination is a big hit with certainty, the LED 74L of the second light emitting board 74 emits light, while the LED 72L of the first light emitting board 72 does not emit light, and the light emitting panel 70 indicates “THE 777”. An optical display effect is displayed in which the optical character “is displayed.
