Similarly, when the special switch is turned on during the right generation, the special device operation control means extinguishes the right.

On the other hand, when the ball entry switch of the opening is turned on, the opening opening control means normally converts the display on the variable display via the symbol display control means, and changes the display on the variable display after a predetermined time has elapsed. Stop.

If the symbol when the variable display is stopped is a predetermined symbol, the normal symbol display judging means judges the hit, and the ordinary electric accessory drive control means drives the solenoid of the starting port to open and close the open / close wing. Open for a short time.

When the ball entry switch is turned on, the opening opening control means stores up to a certain number, and operates the variable display each time the number is stored. The storage display LED indicates the storage.

Next, each operation will be described together with the game.

In normal times, the inflow blocking member 3 of the specific winning opening 5
Numeral 1 rotates at a moderate speed, and the special device symbol display 65 converts and displays numbers 0 to 9 to the left and right at a predetermined speed.

In the game, a hit ball fired at the game section 3 enters the lower part of the prize hole 14 from above and below the armor portions 27a and 27b of the special prize device 4 and enters the specific prize port 5 from the guide surface 29. When the rider rides on the ball receiving portion 28, when the notch 37 of the inflow preventing member 31 overlaps with the specific winning opening 5, the specific winning opening 5 is won.

Since the rotating inflow blocking member 31 is provided,
In many cases, the hit ball on the ball receiving portion 28 waits, and even if the hit ball continues to enter the guide surface 29 side, the specific winning opening 5 is not continuously won.

When the special winning opening 5 is won, the winning ball falls from the guideway 39 through the specific switch 44 to the rear of the concave chamber 41 of the special winning device 4, and at this time, when the specific switch 44 is turned on, the inflow blocking member The rotation of 31 and the left and right conversion display of the special device symbol display 65 are stopped.

When the combination of the left and right displays at the time of the stop is incorrect, the winning sphere entering the swirling circuit 45a of the recessed chamber 41 passes through the opening / closing door 58 of the guiding member opened to the swirling circuit 45a side. The air is discharged from the opening 57 to the outside of the concave chamber 41.

On the other hand, if the combination of the left and right displays at the time of stoppage is a hit, the opening and closing door 58 of the guiding member is opened.
7 is closed and the circulating circuit 45a is opened.
The winning ball entering a enters the peripheral circuit 47 at the bottom of the concave chamber 41 while rotating around the swirling circuit 45a.

When the player enters the circuit 47, the winning prize is swirled by the rotating circuit 45.
a and rotates around the rotating body 49 which is rotating with the momentum from the momentum a.
When the player enters "0" and wins the special prize port 51, the right to the special game is generated if the right is not being generated at this time.

Here, the winning prize of the swirling circuit 45a is
When the outside is discharged or the special winning opening 51 is won, the rotation of the inflow blocking member 31 and the left and right conversion display of the special device symbol display 65 are restarted.

As described above, the special device symbol display 65 for stopping the conversion display based on the winning of the specific winning opening 5 is provided, and when the combination of the display at the time of the stop is a hit, the special winning opening 51 is won. As a result, the winning rate of the special winning opening 51 can be easily set based on the occurrence probability of the special device symbol display 65.

For this reason, the armor portions 27a, 27 of the specific winning opening 5
It is easy to adjust the life nail 92 around the 7b, and by selecting a random number or the like that changes the probability of hitting the special device symbol display 65, the winning rate of the special winning opening 51 can be freely set and the interest of the game can be increased. Can be set to an appropriate value.
In particular, by using the special device symbol display 65, it is possible to make it easier to win the specific winning opening 5, thereby fully utilizing the taste of the game.

When the combination of the display of the special device symbol display 65 is out of order, the winning ball of the specific winning opening 5 is discharged to the outside of the concave chamber 41 by the guiding member.
The winning ball of the specific winning opening 5 is changed to the special winning opening 51 by the guiding member.
It is led to.

Therefore, it is possible to accurately determine whether or not the winning ball has won the special winning opening 51, and it is possible to avoid giving a question or discomfort to the player.

On the other hand, when the specific switch 44 is turned on, the rotation of the inflow prevention member 31 is stopped until the winning ball is discharged out of the concave chamber 41 or the special winning port 51 is won.
A plurality of balls do not enter from the guide path 39 of the specific winning opening 5 to the inside of the concave chamber 41.

For this reason, even if there are a plurality of balls in the ball receiving portion 28 of the specific winning opening 5, a chance of stopping the display is lost by turning on the specific switch 44 while the special device symbol display 65 is stopped. No, you can enjoy whether or not the combination of the display at the time of stop for each winning ball,
Expectations of rights generation will increase.

When the right to the special game is generated, the player hits the ball rightward with the aim of the right side of the game section 3. Thereby, the hit ball fired on the right side of the game part 3 is
The ball is guided by the cushion 76 of the guide means 75 and the regulation nail 77 to the opening 10 and the starting port 8 substantially right below, and many hit balls pass through the opening 10.

When the hit ball passes through the opening 10, the display on the variable display 72 of the starting port 8 is converted based on the memory (up to four) of the ON state of the entry switch 13, and after 9.5 seconds have elapsed. Conversion is stopped. Variable display 7 at the time of this stop
If the indication of 2 is in 1 to 9, the opening / closing wings 9a, 9 of the starting port 8
b is opened for a short time (0.6 seconds).

When the opening / closing wings 9a and 9b of the starting port 8 are opened even for a short time, the hitting ball is continuously directed from the guiding means 75 to the opening port 10 and the starting port 8 side when the right hit is performed. Wins the starting opening 8 without difficulty. The opening / closing wing 9
When one a and 9b are opened for 0.6 seconds, almost one hit ball is won.

When the player wins the starting port 8 (or 7), the special game is started and the opening / closing door 80 of the variable winning device 6 is opened.

When the opening / closing door 80 of the variable winning device 6 is opened, hit balls are successively won in the opening 79, and a large number of prize balls are obtained. Or when 9.5 seconds have elapsed, the opening / closing door 80 is closed, and one special game ends.

When the special game is over, the display of the variable display 72 is changed based on the ON storage of the ball switch 13. In this case, the display of the variable switch 72 is changed during the previous display change. If there is an unprocessed ON memory, the display conversion of the variable display 72 is performed in parallel with the special game after the display conversion of the variable display 72 is stopped (after the closing wings 9a and 9b of the starting port 8 are closed). When 9.5 seconds have elapsed, the conversion is stopped, and if the display at the time of the stop is 1 to 9, the open / close wings 9a and 9b of the starting port 8 are opened again for a short time.

That is, if there are a plurality of passing balls through the opening 10 before the special game, the display conversion of the variable display 72 starts almost at the same time when the special game is started, based on the unprocessed ON memory of the entrance switch 13. When the special game of 9.5 seconds (maximum time) ends, the display conversion is stopped almost at the same time, so that the special game ends except when the stop display is 0 (the probability is small). Accordingly, the opening / closing wings 9a and 9b of the starting port 8 are opened for a short time. At this time, one hit ball easily wins in the starting port 8 as in the previous time.

When the player wins the starting port 8 (or 7), the next special game starts and the opening / closing door 80 of the variable winning device 6 is opened again.

After the opening and closing door 80 is opened, when the number of winnings in the opening 79 reaches 10 or when 9.5 seconds have elapsed, the opening and closing door 80 is closed, and this special game ends.

When the special game is over, the display of the variable display 72 is changed based on the ON storage of the ball switch 13. In this case, as before, the unprocessed ball switch 13 has not been processed before the special game. If there is an ON memory, the display conversion of the variable indicator 72 is started when starting this special game, and the display conversion is stopped with the end of this special game, and the display at the time of the stop is displayed. Except when 0, the opening and closing wings 9a and 9b of the starting port 8 are opened for a short time. At this time, one hit ball easily wins in the starting port 8.

As described above, during the special game right is generated, the display of the variable display 72 is converted based on the storage of the passing ball of the opening 10 and if the display at the time of stop is in a predetermined symbol, the start is performed. Since the opening / closing wings 9a and 9b of the opening 8 are opened, it is possible to easily win a hit ball in the starting opening 8.

Therefore, when the right to the special game is generated, it is possible to quickly enter the special game without losing the ball at the starting port and starting the special game without entering the special game.

On the other hand, when the display conversion time of the variable display 72 is adjusted to the special game time (up to 9.5 seconds), the conversion is stopped during the special game, and the opening and closing wings 9a, 9b of the starting port 8 are opened. In addition, since almost one hit ball can be won in the starting opening 8 by opening in a short time, the special game can be repeatedly performed for each winning without the unilateral increase in the winning in the starting opening 8.

Therefore, even though the special game has not been played many times during the special game right generation, the winning number of the starting openings 7 and 8 reaches a certain number (16), and the precious right disappears. It does not happen, and the specified number of special games can be played reliably.

Further, based on the memory of the passing sphere of the opening 10, the display conversion of the variable display 72 is repeatedly performed at a predetermined cycle corresponding to the special game time every time the memory is stored, and becomes high each time the conversion is stopped. The opening and closing wing 9a of the starting port 8 has a probability,
Since 9b is opened, it is possible to make the starting opening 8 win a hit ball almost regularly every time the special game is completed.

Therefore, the next special game can be started at a good timing in accordance with the end of the special game, and a game full of speed can be realized.

In the case of right-handed shot, the shot ball which has been shot is directed to the opening 10 and the starting port 8 side via the guide means 75, and many hit balls pass through the opening 10 and
The winning opening 8 is efficiently won. Also, in this case, the hit ball does not win in the special winning opening 5 side of the special winning device 4 in the center of the game unit 3 and, of course, the game unit 3
The ball does not flow to the left side of the player and does not win the starting opening 7.

[0133] Therefore, if a right-handed hit is made, a special game of a specified number of times can be performed more promptly, whereby a sufficient prize ball can be obtained. By winning the fifth, the anxiety that the right that has occurred will disappear can be resolved, and the special game can be sufficiently enjoyed.

It should be noted that the display when the variable display 72 is stopped is 0.
When the opening / closing wings 9a and 9b of the starting port 8 are not opened or when the hit ball does not win the starting port 8 even if the opening / closing wings 9a and 9b are opened, the player cannot enter the special game. In this case, the variable display 72 is stopped. If a switch is provided so that the player can stop the conversion by pressing the stop switch, the display conversion of the next variable display 72 can be shortened and the user does not have to wait for the conversion. Further, when ten hit balls are won in the variable winning device 6 during one special game, the special game ends within the time (9.5 seconds), so that the stoppage of the conversion of the variable display 72 is relatively delayed. In this case, the stop of the conversion of the variable display 72 can be accelerated by pressing the stop switch.

Then, when the winning number of the starting ports 7 and 8 reaches a certain number, the right of the special game ends. The special game right expires when the number of winnings in the starting ports 7 and 8 reaches a certain number, but the last special game is performed.

As described above, the special game is performed when the right of the special game is generated. The opening and closing wings 9a and 9b are provided at the starting port 8 where the winning is a condition of the special game, and the opening and closing wings 9a and 9b are provided. Is opened at regular time intervals through a variable display 72 that performs display conversion based on the passage of a hit ball through the opening 10. The hit ball does not easily win,
Alternatively, the inconvenience of hitting the ball in succession can be resolved, and fine nail adjustment or the like becomes unnecessary.

Further, the display conversion time of the variable display 72 is adjusted to the special game time, and the opening / closing wings 9a and 9b of the short-time starting port 8 are opened with a high probability each time the conversion is stopped. Every time is completed, almost one hit ball can be won in the starting port 8.

[0138] Therefore, when the right is generated, the special game can be performed a specified number of times promptly and promptly, so that the player can fully enjoy the special game without feeling uncomfortable or uneasy by increasing the interval of the special game. You can enjoy it.

In the embodiment, the opening / closing wings 9a and 9b of the starting port 8 are opened once (0.6 second) when the display of the variable display 72 is a predetermined symbol. In this case, the opening time is increased. The opening and closing wings 9a and 9b may be closed when one hit ball is won.

On the other hand, even if the player is not in the special game right,
When the opening / closing wings 9a and 9b of the starting port 8 are opened, the hit ball comes into the starting port 8, but the hit ball is hit in the center of the game section 3 so as to make the specific winning port 5 win with the aim of generating the right. If it is, it is difficult for the ball to hit the starting port 8 and the opening port 10 arranged on the right side of the game section 3. For this reason, since the starting port 8 is hard to open in normal times, the winning prize does not increase the prize balls.

In addition, the probability that the opening and closing wings 9a and 9b of the starting port 8 open when the display of the variable display 72 is in a normal state may be reduced.
