Subsequently, the operation and effect of the embodiment having the above-described configuration will be described. In this example, a variable winning opening 10 that is temporarily opened and closed by winning at the start opening 6 and a special situation in which the variable winning opening 10 is opened and closed in a special opening and closing mode when a winning ball that has won a prize in the variable winning opening 10 appears. In the pachinko machine in which the variable winning device 2 having the specific area 15 where the special situation is reproduced when the winning ball passes again and the general area 16 where the special situation cannot appear is mounted on the game board 1, The apparatus 2 allows a stopping mechanism 18 that is switched to an effective state for stopping the winning ball and a revoking state for releasing the stopped stopping ball T, and a release ball released from the stopping mechanism 18 to pass to the specific area 15. a path switching mechanism 28 is switched to the second state to deflection in a direction to avoid a particular region 15 a first state and releasing balls, the provided the revocation nonadvancing mechanism 18 from the valid state The switching timing for switching to the state and the switching timing for switching the course switching mechanism 28 to the first state or the second state are specified when the specific area guiding symbol 3a of the variable display device 3 stops changing the symbol display. The stopping mechanism 18 detects the stopping ball T stopped at the stopping mechanism 18 and displays the variation display of the symbols by the specific area guiding symbol portion 3a of the variable display device 3. A stationary ball detection switch 19 for starting the operation is provided.
[0046]
For this reason, the release time of the stationary ball T is determined based on the display result specified by the specific area guiding symbol 3a of the variable display device 3, and whether or not the release ball winning to the specific area 15 is established is determined. Therefore, it is possible to diversify and specialize the game contents and change the game development.
[0047]
In particular, the time at which the stationary ball T is released from the stationary mechanism 18 can be designated by the display result of the specific area guiding symbol 3a of the variable display device 3, so that after the game ball has won the variable winning opening 10, The elapsed time until the winning ball passes through the specific area 15 or the general area 16 and is sent out from the variable winning device 2, that is, the duration of the variable display game by the variable winning device 2 and the variable display device 3 is set to an arbitrary length. Can be set. Accordingly, it is possible to diversify the variable display game by giving a change to the variable display game, and to make it easier for the player to understand the game development by clearly grasping the contents of the game. A variable display game can be enjoyed without being restricted by time.
[0048]
In addition, since the time during which the winning balls that are won in the variable winning opening 10 are held in the variable winning device 2 can be controlled with a simple configuration, the variable winning device 2 can be reduced in size and simplified.
[0049]
Furthermore, since the specific area guiding symbol 3a of the variable display device 3 displays the symbols variably only when the stationary ball T is generated, when the stationary ball T is not stopped on the stopping mechanism 18, or when the winning ball is the general region 16 When there is no possibility that a special situation will appear due to falling into the game, it is possible to eliminate the situation where the variable display device continues to display the symbols in a variable manner and frustrates the player.
