[Prior art]
During the jackpot right generation of the three kinds of gaming machines, when a game ball wins the three kinds of starting devices, the round game starts, and the big prize opening is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds). Since the next round game starts when the game ball passes through the three starting holes while the 10-second grand opening is open, the game ball should be prevented from passing to the three starting holes when the large winning opening is open. A rotating body as shown in FIG. 4 is used. The rotating body 74 is provided with a ball holding recess 74a for holding the game ball T, and makes one round in a predetermined time (10 seconds) corresponding to the opening time of the special winning opening. As shown in the drawing, when the ball holding recess 74a faces upward with the game ball T on the rotating body 74, the game ball T falls into the ball holding recess 74a, and the rotating body With the rotation of 74, when the ball holding recess 74 a reaches the third type starting port 82, it moves into the third type starting port 82 side. By using this rotating body 74, one is awarded to the third type starting port 82 every predetermined time (10 seconds).
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Therefore, until the game ball waits on the rotating body 74 of the three-type starter and wins, the movement of the game ball becomes slow and monotonous, which is very boring.
Further, depending on the timing at which the game ball T is placed on the rotating body 74, the game ball T is waiting on the rotating body for a long time as shown in FIG. 4. Therefore, despite the fact that the winnings are almost ensured, other game balls may collide and fall from the rotating body before entering the ball holding recess 74a, and the round progress is intermittent. It may become difficult to digest the round game smoothly.
[0004]
In order to solve this, as in the invention described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 8-19643, a rotating body having a plurality of sphere holding portions is provided on the upper portion, and the sphere holding portions other than the specific sphere holding portions are received. A configuration has been proposed in which the game balls are returned to the game area again without winning.
However, as in the case of the above-described invention, even if a game ball is once received, if it is returned to the game area again without being awarded, the player's will will be damaged and the willingness to play will be reduced.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that can enhance the amusement of the game by using a rotating body and enriching the winning mode of the game ball. There is to do.

[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the invention of claim 1 is a short cylindrical rotating body provided with a recess for holding a game ball on the outer periphery, and the game ball is held in the recess at a constant speed. In a gaming machine provided with a winning device comprising a winning rotating body that rotates and guides a game ball held in the recess to a through hole communicating with the back side of the game board at predetermined time intervals,
Arranged on the upper part of the winning rotator is a waiting rotator in which a plurality of recesses for holding game balls are provided at equal intervals on the outer periphery,
When the rotational speed of the standby rotary body is made higher than the speed of the winning rotary body, and the rotational speed of the standby rotary body is M, the number of the plurality of recesses is n, and a natural number of 2 or more is n, By setting the rotational speed of the winning rotator to (Mn− (M−1)) / M times, the waiting rotator coincides with the concave portion of the winning rotator each time the winning rotator makes a round. The concave portions are sequentially different, and the game balls accommodated in the plurality of concave portions are sequentially dropped one by one into the concave portion of the winning rotator for each rotation of the winning rotator.
[0007]
In the present invention, a waiting rotator having a plurality of (for example, four) sphere holding recesses is provided on the top of the winning rotator having at least one sphere holding recess, and the winning rotator makes one round. Each time the ball holding concave portion of the standby rotating body that matches the concave portion for holding the ball of the winning rotating body is sequentially changed, the game ball held on the standby rotating body is changed to the ball on the winning rotary body side. It can be dropped into the holding recess. As a result, it is possible to reliably wait for a plurality (4) of the game balls, and as much as possible to prevent other game balls from colliding and falling from the rotating body as in the past. It is possible to secure a round game up to four times (four times) ahead. Therefore, the round game can be digested smoothly. In addition, since the game ball is won through both the waiting rotator and the winning rotator, the winning mode of the game sphere is rich in change, and the interest of the player can be enhanced.
