It is operated repeatedly. Such a state in which the variable winning device 32 is repeatedly operated in the open state and the normal closed state at the time of a big hit is called a special gaming state (for example, a big hit state), and a large number of games are played in the variable winning device 32. Since the ball enters (wins) and a large amount of game balls are paid out in response to the prize, the gaming state is advantageous for the player.

More specifically, when the game ball wins a prize for the first starting ports 33a and 33b, the two LEDs 40a and 40b of the first symbol display device 40 are variablely displayed, and the display of the LEDs 40a and 40b after the fluctuation is stopped is preset. A special gaming state occurs when the combination of light emitting modes is achieved. For example, in the case of a light emitting mode in which both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in a red light emitting state, it indicates that the special gaming state of the probability variation big hit (specific hit) has been won, and both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in the blue light emitting state. In the case of the light emitting mode of performing, it indicates that the special gaming state of the normal big hit (non-specific hit) has been won, and in the case of the light emitting mode in which both LEDs 40a and 40b stop in the light emitting state of different colors, it is out of the light emitting mode. (Failed to the special game state) is shown.
