(SW ₃ ) is provided, and a collecting flow path (described later) for collecting game balls flowing into the special winning opening 215 and the general winning openings 216 and 216 and guiding the game balls to the back side of the game board 1 has a winning number detector 17 (S 3).
W ₄ ) has been established.

The pachinko gaming machine outlined above is generally controlled by a control device (described later) such as a microcomputer installed therein as follows.

In the initial state in which electric power is supplied to the pachinko gaming machine by operating the power switch (not shown), the variable winning device 20
The movable members 350, 350 are closed as shown in FIG. 1 to maintain a state in which game balls cannot flow into the winning space 212.
Further, the winning probability varying member 330 installed at the center on the guide inclined portion 320 is stopped while moving to the near side.

In addition, the variable display 362 of the variable prize device 20 is called into the variable display 362 (for example, "Irashai Mase", "Yokoso", etc.).
The display is performed in a dot matrix display in which the display is flowing, and the storage member 231 in the winning space 212 is constantly rotating counterclockwise slowly as viewed from the right side thereof. Further, a continuation number display 13 and a winning number display 14 at the lower right of the game board 1 are provided.
Is "0".

In this state, when a hit ball launching device (not shown) is operated by a dial operation (not shown) to fire a game ball in the game area 3 and the game ball wins one of the start winning openings 5, 6, and 6. It is detected by the start winning detectors 51 (SW ₂ ), 61 (SW ₁ ), and 61 (SW ₁ ) installed in the start winning ports 5, 6, 6.

As a result, when it is a prize to the one-time opening start winning opening 6, 6 and the detection by the start winning detectors 61 (SW ₁ ) and 61 (SW ₁ ) is performed, a change is made based on the detection. The movable members 350, 350 of the winning device 20 are rotated once (opened / closed), and a preliminary game state in which game balls can flow into the winning space 212 is created once.

On the other hand, when the winning is to the double opening start winning opening 5 and a detection signal is received from the start winning detector 51 (SW ₂ ), the movable members 350, 350 are rotated (open / closed) twice to win the winning space. It is created twice in a preliminary game state in which a game ball can flow into 212.

During the preliminary game, the storage member 231 in the winning space 212 is slowly rotating at a constant speed as in the normal game, and the central winning probability varying member 330 on the guide inclined portion 320 is periodically rotated by a driving unit described later. Are moved back and forth a plurality of times, thereby changing the winning probability of the game ball into the special winning opening 215.

During the preliminary game performed in this way, the movable member
When the game balls are guided to 350, 350 and flow into the prize space 212, the game balls roll on the flow-down guide shelf 310 to form the prize space 2
It reaches the inner part of 12. If the concave portion side of the storage member 231 faces upward at the right time when reaching the inner part, it is stored once in the storage member 231 and then guided when the concave upper side faces downward with the rotation. It is released on the slope 320. On the other hand, if the concave upper side of the storage member 231 does not face upward due to bad timing when reaching the inner part, it will fall directly to the inner part on the guide inclined part 320 without being stored in the storage member 231. .

In this way, the game ball that has reached the inner part on the guide inclined part 320 rolls on the guide inclined part 320 and flows into the special winning opening 215 or the general winning openings 216 and 216 to the near side.

As a result, when a prize cannot be won in the special prize opening 215, the movable member 350, 350
b, 214b returns to the closed state and the winning probability varying member 33
0 returns to the state moved to the near side, returns to the stopped state, and maintains the normal gaming state.

The above-mentioned preliminary game operation is repeated each time a game ball wins in the starting winning opening 5, 6, 6 and, as a result, when a game ball accidentally flows into the special winning opening 215, it enters the special winning opening 215. The special game is detected by being detected by the installed special winning detector 217 (SW ₃ ).

Here, the special game is a game mode in which a player has more chances of acquiring a prize ball than in a normal game. For example, a predetermined number of times (for example, 18 times) of opening and closing operations of the movable members 350, 350 is performed in one cycle. (However, when the game balls flow into the inflow space 212 before the predetermined number of opening / closing operations are completed and counted 10 by the winning number detector 17 (SW ₄ ), or flow into the special winning opening 215. the special pay detector 217 (SW ₃₎
, The cycle up to that point may be regarded as one cycle. ), And the operation is continued until a predetermined cycle (for example, up to 8 cycles) on the condition that a game ball wins in the special winning opening 215 during each cycle and is detected by the special winning detector 217 (SW ₃ ). It is to be done.

During each cycle of this special game, the storage member 231 is stopped with its concave side facing upward until three winning balls are detected by the winning number detector 217 (SW ₄ ). At the time when the number is detected, the rotation is started in the same manner as in the normal game. Along with the rotation, the game balls that have flowed into the storage member 231 and are stored up to that time are collectively released onto the guide inclined portion 320, and expectation of winning in the special winning opening 215 Is enhanced.

In addition, at the beginning of each cycle,
The special prize winning probability is low because 330 is moving forward and stopped, but the prize probability changing member 33
When 0 starts moving forward and backward at a constant cycle, the probability of winning in the special winning opening 215 is increased.

By doing so, it is possible to prevent a game ball from winning in the special winning opening 215 at the beginning of each cycle and to end each cycle shortly, and a game ball from the special winning opening 215 after the middle stage. As a result, the continuation condition (cycle update condition) is easily satisfied, and the profit of the player is thereby achieved.

The number of continuations at the time of this special game is a continuation number display 13
In addition, the inflow number of game balls is displayed on the winning number display 14 by numbers.

At the time of the special game, various lamps such as the side lamps 11 and 11 for notifying the special game are blinked.

At the same time as the start of the final cycle (eighth cycle in this embodiment), a variable display (for example, three numbers) appears on the variable display unit 362, and the change is started. When it is detected by the winning detector 217 (SW ₃ ), the variable display is stopped.

As a result of the stop, when the variable display becomes a specific mode (for example, three numbers are aligned), a special additional game is generated after the end of the special game.

Here, the special additional game is a game mode in which the player is given a lot of chances of winning a prize ball in addition to the above-mentioned special game. For example, until the winning number detector 17 (SW ₄ ) counts 10 times, The movable members 350, 350 are kept open.

On the other hand, when the display mode as a result of the stoppage of the variable display does not become the specific mode, the special additional game is not performed and the normal game state is returned at the end of the final cycle of the special game.
