  Then, the game ball that has won the open large winning opening 21, passes through the ball passages 61A and 61B, reaches the lower discharge port upper flow path changing member 22 that is upside down and is stopped, It is attracted to the 23 permanent magnets 28 and 27 and carried to the upper part, and is stopped on the upper part of the induction rotating body 23 by the upper stopping part stopper 24 of the rotating body, and is rotated by detecting 10 game balls or completing 18 opening operations. When the on-body stop portion stopper 24 is turned off, the game ball that has been stopped at the upper part is released from the stop and guided to the general area 26 or the specific area 25. Then, the game ball continues to the next round by passing through the specific area 25.
[0072]
  At this time, since the lower discharge port upper flow path changing member 22 is upside down, the game ball is attracted to the permanent magnet 27 on the center side of the surface of the induction rotating body 23.SukuThe probability of passing through the specific region 25 is increased by the rotation of the guide rotator 23.
[0073]
  Also, after the jackpot gaming state is finished (after the end of the continuous operation of the accessory), when the display content of the probability determination display device 31 is “◯” (in the probability variation gaming state), the next jackpot will be played after the jackpot game is over. Until the game occurs, the operation pattern of the internal structure of the second-type special electric accessory 20 is “Pattern E”, and the lower outlet upper flow path changing member 22 is horizontal as shown in FIG. In this state, the electromagnets 29 at two positions near the center provided on the induction rotating body 23 are in an energized state (ON), and the on-rotor retaining portion stopper 24 is OFF.
[0074]
  In this state, a predetermined number (for example, 5) of winning balls are obtained by winning a game ball in any of the left second type starting port 11A, the right second type starting port 11B, and the middle second type starting port 12. As a result of payout, the grand prize winning opening 21 is opened once or twice. Then, the game ball that has won the open big winning opening 21 and reached the lower discharge outlet upper flow path changing member 22 in the horizontal state through the ball passages 61A and 61B is guided and rotated 23 The permanent magnets 28 and 27 and the two electromagnets 29 at the center are attracted to the upper part and carried to the upper part, and the stop 24 on the rotating body does not stop the game ball. Be guided. Then, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls are paid out by passing through the general area 26 or the specific area 25, and when a game ball passes through the specific area 25, a big hit gaming state is generated.
[0075]
  At this time, since the lower discharge port upper flow path changing member 22 is in a horizontal state and the electromagnet 29 is ON, the number of game balls carried by the induction rotating body 23 increases, and in particular, the number of game balls carried closer to the center increases. Thus, the probability that the game ball passes the specific area 25 is increased.
[0076]
  The display content of the probability determination display device 31 is “×”.soIf there is, the operation in the normal gaming state is performed.
[0077]
【The invention's effect】
