BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a ball entry device for a ball game machine such as a pachinko game machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, for example, in a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine, in a special symbol display device arranged in the approximate center of the game board, a game such as a number, a character, a picture, etc. can be variably displayed. Has been enhanced. In many gaming machines, when the symbols displayed on the special symbol display device have a predetermined combination (hereinafter referred to as “hit symbol”), a big hit is made. The operation of opening and closing the ball entering device until it has entered for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) or a predetermined number of balls (for example, 10) is repeatedly performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times).
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in conventional gaming machines, game balls exceeding a predetermined number of balls often enter the ball entry device.
The reason for this is that in the case of a big hit, the pitching device is released until a predetermined time or a predetermined number of pitches are entered, but in a normal game, a predetermined number of balls (rather than a predetermined time (30 seconds)) Since the time until entering the ball is much shorter, the entry device will be closed when 10 game balls enter the entry device.
However, due to the structure of the pitching device, there is a time lag between the time when the game ball enters the pitching device and the time when the game ball passes through the switch for detecting the pitching, so that it enters the tenth pitching device. The entrance device is not closed at the same time as the ball.
[0004]
This will be described with reference to FIG. 9. FIG. 9 is a front view of the ball entering apparatus main body 60, and an opening 63 is provided at the center of the ball entering apparatus main body 60. Is provided. An opening / closing plate 62 is pivotally attached to the opening 63 by means of a pin. Normally, the opening 63 is closed, and when the jackpot is reached, the opening 63 is opened to allow a game ball to enter. . (FIG. 9 shows a state in which the opening 63 is opened.)
A guide rod 65 for guiding the game ball 64 to the inside of the pitching device is provided at the inner bottom portion of the opening 63 in a state inclined downward to the right when viewed from the front. A count switch 66 for counting is provided.
[0005]
  Next, the entrance route of the game ball 64 will be described. A game ball 64 that has fallen on a game board (not shown) has a nail as a guide nail provided on the game board, so that it can enter the opening 63 from anywhere within the width of the opening / closing plate 62. it can.For example, game ballsAssuming that 64 enters the ball from the left end of the ball entry device, the game ball 64 passes through a route shown by an arrow A.become.
[0007]
  TraditionalIn the ball entry device, when a game ball falls on the opening and closing plate when the opening and closing plate enters the closing operation, the gaming ball is sandwiched between the opening and closing plate and the opening, and the opening and closing plate is closed. Sometimes it disappeared. In such a state, for example, a game ball that has fallen later pushes back the opening and closing plate and enters the opening, accepting a game ball that should not be received in the opening, or conversely, it falls later As a result, the game balls piled up on the opening / closing plate without pushing the opening / closing plate, and the subsequent game could not be smoothly performed.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention]
  In order to achieve the above object, the ball game machine according to claim 1 includes a symbol display means for variably displaying a symbol at the approximate center of the game board, and a ball entry device that can enter when the opening is opened by an opening / closing plate. When the stop symbol of the symbol display means becomes a jackpot symbol, it becomes a big hit, and during the big hit period, the opening / closing plate of the ball-entering device is opened to open the opening and the opened opening In a bullet ball game machine that repeats a predetermined number of times when a predetermined number of balls enter or when the opening time reaches a predetermined time, it is rotated by a shaft arranged in parallel with the opening / closing axis of the opening / closing plate. A freely pivoted roller is connected to the tip of the opening / closing plate.as well asAt the tip of the opening facing the tip of the opening / closing plateRespectivelyBecause it is installed, even if the game ball falls on the opening and closing plate when the opening and closing plate is about to close, and the game ball is sandwiched between the opening and closing plate and the opening, it is opened and closed by the force to close the opening and closing plate Attached to the end of the boardRoller andBy rotating the roller and the game ball attached to the tip of the opening facing the tip of the opening / closing plate, the game ball can be taken into the opening while being rotated.
  Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being sandwiched between the opening / closing plate and the opening and preventing the opening / closing plate from closing. For example, a game ball that has fallen later pushes out the opening / closing plate and enters the opening, and is originally received in the opening. It is also possible to prevent problems such as accepting a game ball that should not be received, or a game ball that has fallen later accumulates on the opening / closing plate without pushing the opening / closing plate, and the subsequent game cannot be smoothly performed.
[0009]
  The ball game machine according to claim 2
  It has a symbol display means for variably displaying a symbol at the approximate center of the game board, and a ball entry device that allows a ball to enter when the opening is opened by an opening / closing plate,
  When the stop symbol of the symbol display means becomes a jackpot symbol, it becomes a jackpot,
  During the big hit period, the opening / closing plate of the landing device is opened to open the opening, and the opening is closed when a predetermined number of balls enter the opening or the opening time is a predetermined time. In a ball game machine that repeats the operation a predetermined number of times,
  Inside the opening,
  A guide rod for guiding a game ball that has entered the opening,
  A discharge guide hole for discharging a game ball provided at an end of the guide rod;
  An opening position for opening the discharge guide hole and dropping the game ball that has passed through the guide rod into the discharge guide hole, and without closing the discharge guide hole and dropping the game ball into the discharge guide hole It is variable to a closed position where it passes over itself, is integrally formed with the opening / closing plate, and is in the open position when the opening / closing plate closes the opening, and the opening / closing plate is open to the opening A discharge preventing plate that is in the closed position when the part is open,
  A count switch for counting the number of game balls that have passed over the discharge prevention plate closing the discharge guide hole;
TheProvided,
  A roller pivotally supported by a shaft arranged in parallel with the opening / closing axis of the opening / closing plate was attached to the tip of the opening / closing plate and the tip of the opening facing the tip of the opening / closing plate, respectively.
It is characterized by that.
  In this ball game machine, the game ball that has entered the opening is guided by a guide rod. The discharge prevention plate that is integrally formed with the opening and closing plate is securely linked to the opening and closing plate, and when the opening and closing plate opens the opening, it becomes the closed position and closes the discharge guide hole and has passed through the guide rod Direct the game ball to the count switch. The number of game balls that have passed through the guide basket is counted by a count switch, and the opening is closed when the count, that is, the number of balls entering the opening reaches a predetermined number.
  When the opening / closing plate closes the opening, the discharge preventing plate is in the open position, and the discharge guide hole is opened to drop the game ball that has passed through the guide rod into the discharge guide hole. The dropped game ball is discharged from the discharge guide hole. In other words, game balls that have entered the entrance device after reaching the predetermined number of balls are discharged, so that a predetermined number of game balls always enter the entrance device. For this reason, since the number of prize balls that can be obtained in one big hit is uniform for each player, there is no possibility of unfairness of the player. In addition, since the predetermined number of balls can be set up to 10 which is full of the regulation frame according to the regulations, there is no need to change the predetermined number of balls depending on the model, and the cost can be reduced by common parts.
[0010]
  In the bullet ball game machine according to claim 2,Since the rollers rotatably supported by the shaft arranged in parallel with the opening / closing axis of the opening / closing plate are attached to the tip of the opening / closing plate and the tip of the opening facing the opening / closing plate, respectively. Even if the game ball falls on the open / close plate when the open / close plate is about to close and the game ball is sandwiched between the open / close plate and the opening, both the rollers and the game ball are caused by the force to close the open / close plate. By rotating, the game ball can be taken into the opening while rotating.
  Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being sandwiched between the opening / closing plate and the opening and preventing the opening / closing plate from closing. For example, a game ball that has fallen later pushes out the opening / closing plate and enters the opening, and is originally received in the opening. It is also possible to prevent problems such as accepting a game ball that should not be received, or a game ball that has fallen later accumulates on the opening / closing plate without pushing the opening / closing plate, and the subsequent game cannot be smoothly performed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.
[0012]
[Example 1]
FIG. 1 is a front view of a game board 10 of a pachinko machine in which a ball entry device according to the present invention is incorporated in a game board. Since the configuration of the pachinko machine main body is in accordance with a known technique, illustration and description are omitted.
As shown in FIG. 1, a guide rail 16 is attached to the game board 10, and an area where a number of obstacle nails 23 are provided inside the guide rail 16 is a game area 12.
A symbol display device 22 is attached to the center of the game board 10, and a holding display device 11, a windmill 13, and a start chucker 14 are arranged above and to the side, and a start winning opening is provided below the display display device 11. 15 and the ball entry device 18 are provided.
The ball entrance device 18 has a structure in which the opening 21 is opened and closed by opening and closing the opening / closing plate 20, and is shown in an open state. A discharge hole 17 is provided in the lower part of the opening / closing plate 20. An out hole 19 is provided below the ball entry device 18 and at the lowest part of the guide rail 16.
[0013]
Next, a game method will be described. By operating a handle (not shown), a game ball is launched into the game area 12 and is arbitrarily guided by the obstacle nail 23, the windmill 13 or the like, and the game ball that has won the prize opening or has not won the prize opening is the lowermost part. Are discharged as out balls from the out hole 19 to the back surface of the game board 10.
When the game ball wins the start winning opening 15, the symbol on the symbol display device 22 starts to change and when the jackpot symbol is reached, the opening / closing plate 20 of the ball entering device 18 opens and the opening 21 is opened to allow the game ball to enter. .
[0014]
Next, the structure of the ball entry device 18 will be described with reference to FIGS.
2 is a front view of the ball entry device 18 (the drawing shows the opening 21 in the closed state), and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line A-A ′ (the drawing shows the opening 21 in the opened state). The ball entry device 18 is formed integrally with a configuration base frame 34 attached to the game board, an opening / closing plate 20 attached to the opening 21 of the configuration base frame 34 to open and close the opening 21, and the opening / closing plate 20. The discharged discharge prevention plate 35 is provided. Further, a normal winning opening 31 is provided on both sides of the opening / closing plate 20, and a discharge hole 17 is provided in the lower portion of the opening / closing plate 20. Furthermore, it comprises a drive unit 37 that is attached to the back surface of the constituent base frame 34 to open and close the opening / closing plate 20, and a lamp unit 36 that is attached to the back side of the normal winning opening 31 to notify the big hit gaming state.
[0015]
Next, inside the opening 21, a guide rod 32 for guiding the entered game ball to the inside of the pitching device 18 is provided at the bottom of the opening 21 in a state of being inclined downward to the right. A discharge guide hole 50 is provided at the right end portion, a lower portion thereof is connected to one end of the discharge guide rod 51, and the other end is connected to the discharge hole 17. In addition, a count switch 33 for counting the number of balls entered is provided at the back of the back surface of the discharge guide hole 50, and a ball entrance hole 52 is provided below the count switch 33.
Although details will be described later, the opening / closing operation of the discharge guide hole 50 will be described here. The discharge guide hole 50 is opened and closed by the discharge prevention plate 35. However, since the discharge prevention plate 35 is formed integrally with the opening and closing plate 20, it operates in conjunction with the opening and closing plate 20. When in the closed state, the discharge guide hole 50 is opened, and when the open / close plate 20 is in the open state, the discharge guide hole 50 is closed.
[0016]
Next, a method for discharging a game ball that has entered the ball entry device, which is the gist of the present invention, will be described with reference to FIGS.
4 (a) is an enlarged perspective view of the inside of the opening 21 with the opening / closing plate 20 open, FIG. 4 (b) is a perspective view of the opening / closing plate 20 in a closed state, and FIG. 5 (a) is a diagram. FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view in which the opening / closing plate 20 is closed, and FIG. 5B is a cross-sectional view in a state where the opening / closing plate 20 is closed.
When the symbol displayed on the special symbol display device is a jackpot symbol, although not shown, the opening / closing plate 20 is opened by the opening / closing plate driving unit, and the opening 21 is opened. As a result, the discharge prevention plate 35 formed integrally with the opening / closing plate 20 also moves in the same manner, and the discharge guide hole 50 is closed and connected to the guide rod 32 so as to be a part of the entrance path of the game ball 40. It becomes.
[0017]
Therefore, as shown by the arrow A, the game ball 40 flowing down the game board flows into the opening 21 by the opening / closing plate 20, and the entered game ball 40 is guided to the guide rod 32 and discharged. It passes over 35, is guided to the count switch 33 in the back, falls as it is, and is discharged to the back side of the game board as a winning ball through the entrance hole 52.
When the game balls 40 enter the opening 21 one after another and the count switch 33 detects the tenth number of predetermined balls, the opening / closing plate 20 is closed by a drive unit (not shown). Then, the discharge prevention plate 35 operates similarly, and the discharge guide hole 50 is opened.
[0018]
Accordingly, the game ball 40 that has entered during the tenth and subsequent time lags of the predetermined number of balls is guided to the guide rod 32 as indicated by the arrow B, but the discharge guide hole 50 is open. Therefore, it falls from the discharge guide hole 50, is guided to the discharge guide rod 51, and is discharged from the ball entering device 18 as an out ball from the discharge hole 17.
As described above, when there are balls exceeding the predetermined number of balls, extra game balls can be discharged from the discharge holes.
[0019]
In addition, there is a problem that the game ball is sandwiched between the opening / closing plate and the opening, and this will be described with reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 shows BB of the ball entry device 18 shown in FIG. In the cross-sectional view, when the game ball 40 falls on the opening / closing plate 20 when the opening / closing plate 20 enters the closed state, the game ball 40 is placed between the opening / closing plate 20 and the opening 21 that are about to close. It may get caught. In this state, since the opening / closing plate 20 is not completely closed, the discharge prevention plate 35 formed integrally with the opening / closing plate 20 is not completely lowered. For this reason, since the discharge guide hole 50 is not completely opened, the game ball 40 stops before the discharge guide hole 50.
[0020]
FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view in which the opening / closing plate 20 and the opening 21 of the ball entrance device 18 are improved, and FIG. 7 shows a roller B43 at the tip of the opening / closing plate 20 and a shaft B44. The roller A41 is attached to the tip of the opening 21 so as to be rotatable through the shaft A42.
As a result, even when the game ball 40 is sandwiched between the opening / closing plate 20 and the opening 21, the roller A 41 is moved in the R ′ direction and the roller B 43 is moved in the R ″ direction by the force for closing the opening / closing plate 20. By rotating, the game ball 40 can be taken into the opening 21 while rotating in the R direction, whereby the taken game ball 40 falls from the discharge guide hole 50 and is discharged by the discharge guide rod 51. The ball 17 is guided to the hole 17 and can be discharged from the ball entry device 18 as an out ball.
As described above, even when the game ball is sandwiched between the opening / closing plate and the opening, it can be prevented.
[0021]
[Example 2]
FIG. 8 is a diagram in which the ball entry device 18 of the present invention is used in an arrangement ball gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as arrangement 80).
Arrange 80 is a game in which the game specification is 16 game balls, and since it is a limited number, if two or more game balls enter each entrance, it becomes an invalid ball for the second and subsequent balls. For players, if it is before entering the ball, after thinking that “I don't need to be early”, I would like to “do not enter” on the contrary, a gaming machine with a different taste from pachinko machines It is.
[0022]
In the arrangement 80, a front frame 81 is attached to the player side so as to be openable and closable, and an ornament lamp 94 is installed at the top of the front frame 81 and a probability variation lamp 95, which will be described in detail later, is installed in the center of the ornament lamp 94. A firing handle 93 is provided below the front frame 81, and an upper plate 97 is provided below the front frame 81.
Inside the front frame 81, a game board 82 is detachably mounted (details are not described because they are publicly known), and various entrance devices with guide nails and obstacle nails (not shown) as entrances are provided.
At the bottom of the game board 82, a winning symbol display device 87, which is characteristic of the arrangement 80, is provided. The winning symbol display device 87 is provided with a winning display lamp 98 and a winning winning entrance 91, and a winning symbol display device 87. When a game ball enters the winning ball entrance 91 located at the top of the game, the winning display lamp 98 below is correspondingly turned on, and the winning display lamp 98 is lit. The score set by the combination of the lit lamps can be obtained.
[0023]
In addition to the above-mentioned various entrance devices, obstacle entrance nails (not shown) are driven into the entrances of the winning entrance 91 so that game balls are difficult to enter. The obstacle nail is placed and driven into the entrance where it is easy to make a ball.
An operation button 92 is provided in a part of the front frame 81 at a position slightly above the firing handle 93, and a lamp (not shown) is provided inside the operation button 92.
This operation button 92 is a game that is divided into 16 balls, which is a game characteristic peculiar to the arrangement 80 when the game ball fired by the model stops on a guide nail (not shown), so if the 16th ball is not detected, the next game is reached. Since there is a configuration that cannot be shifted, there is one that can advance to the next game by pressing the operation button 92, but this arrangement 80 is not necessary in this case because it is a continuous firing method.
The operation button 92 of the present arrangement 80 is provided in order to make effective use of the reserved right, which will be described later in detail.
[0024]
A card unit 96 is provided on the left side of the arrangement 80, but this card unit 96 is a known one and will not be described in detail.
A symbol display device 83 (the official name of the arrangement 80 is referred to as a guidance symbol display device) is provided in the center of the front frame 81, and a GO gate 88 (the official name in the arrangement 80 is the guidance symbol display device operation passage port) below the symbol display device 83. Say) is provided.
A top entrance 89 is also provided at the top of the symbol display device 83, and a warp entrance (not shown) is opened on the left and right of the entrance. When a game ball enters the warp entrance, it passes through the back side of the game board 82 (not shown in detail) and is discharged from the lower left or right side of the symbol display device 83 so that it can be easily passed to the GO gate 88. Has been.
When a game ball enters the entrance ball opening 89, a set lamp among the winning indication lamps 98 is turned on, and by turning it on, it is sometimes easy to form a score. This is also used for adjusting the payout rate, which will be described in detail later, by adjusting the obstacle nail (not shown).
[0025]
At the center left of the game board 82 is a lucky entrance 86 (the official name is a scoring device, there is a condition that the score is established, and one point is added by detecting the entrance, There are others that double the score, which is set separately in this arrangement 80).
When entering the lucky entrance 86, a score is added. However, due to game rules, the lucky entrance 86 adds only when a score is established.
Since the present invention is a holding system, only the number lamp of the set winning display lamp 98 is turned on, and the specific game is put on hold as will be described in detail later.
An open gate 85 (the official name in Arrange 80 is referred to as an accessory passage device operating passage) is provided at the center right of the game board 82, and an electric role 84 (the official name in Arrange 80 is an actor guide). Device), and a number function of a winning display lamp 98 written on the electric role 84 is turned on when the electric function 84 is entered.
Normally, this electric role 84 cannot be entered, but the detailed operation will be described later together with the open gate 85.
[0026]
Between the winning symbol display device 87 and the GO gate 88, there is provided a ball entry device 18 of the present invention (in this embodiment, a game machine provided with an official name induction increasing device is called the ball entry device 18), which is not shown. Inside, a V detection switch (official name is referred to as an induction increase device operating region) is provided.
The ball entry device 18 is provided with an opening / closing plate 20, and a discharge hole 21 is provided below the opening / closing plate 20, so that a game ball held inside can be discharged.
Sleeve entrance holes 90 are provided on the left and right sides of the opening / closing plate 20, respectively, and a number lamp set with a prize display lamp 98 is lit together with the entrance entrance 89. Although it is covered, if it is easy to enter at the entrance ball opening 89 as described above, the number of invalid spheres increases and it is difficult to establish a score.
This is called a dead ball, and even if a lot of balls enter the same entrance, the result is only 1 lighting. In particular, the winning entrance 91 is usually arranged at an easy entry position.
Such a configuration of various entrances is difficult to reach a score, and is one of the entrances indispensable for adjusting the payout rate.
In particular, the sleeve entrance 90 is arranged at a position where adjustment is easy and is directly under the entrance which is difficult to enter because it is called a so-called point prize entrance of the prize entry 91, so that it is possible to make a great change with a little adjustment. It is the composition that can demonstrate the effect.
The launch handle 93 is provided with a launch stop button 99, which can pause the launch while the game ball is being launched.
[0027]
The above has described the configuration of the game board 82 of the arrangement 80. Next, the operation of the pitching device 18 will be described based on the content of the game which can be said to be a feature of the present invention.
If the game ball is thrown into the upper plate 97 and the launch handle 93 is rotated in the clockwise direction, the thrown game ball can be launched onto the game board 82 in the direction of arrow R. Further, if the firing handle 93 is further turned clockwise, it can be strongly blown to the right, and the firing stop button 99 is operated to repeat one-ball one-ball stop-and-shoot aiming at an arbitrary winning entrance 91. You can also.
The transition to the next game in a general arrangement ball gaming machine is that when the 16th ball has been fired, an interval timer is provided, so the firing is paused until the 16th game ball senses a ball entry. It is not possible to move to the next game.
[0028]
If the 15th ball (same for the previous launch ball) is caught, the 15th ball is not detected, so the interval timer is extended to give up the throw and move to the next game. Therefore, adjustments that are likely to cause slacking with nail adjustments have a significant impact on sales and, in turn, make the player feel uncomfortable.
In this regard, this arrangement 80 is not provided with an interval timer for stopping the firing, and can simply fire continuously because this interval timer is provided in the winning display lamp 98.
This is a time display with an interval timer so that the player can discriminate the result of 16 balls when the winning entrance 91 detects 16 balls, and all lamps are turned off when the interval timer is consumed. .
At this time, since it is continuously fired, the entry result of each entrance that is detected and stored in the winning entrance 91 during the interval timer digestion time is displayed based on this memory and displayed on the winning display lamp 98. Since it is a display, it can be fired continuously.
For this reason, since it is possible to fire approximately 100 balls per minute with the maximum number of balls per hour, Arrangeball game machines have been shunned as low-sales game machines in the game hall until now, but with Arrange 80 Was able to be resolved.
[0029]
The launched game ball scatters in the vicinity of the game board 82 and enters the GO gate 88, the lucky entrance 86, and the sleeve entrances 90 on the left and right of the entrance device 18 provided in the middle. Alternatively, a winning entry 91 of the winning symbol display device 87 is entered.
When each ball is entered, the winning display lamp 98 corresponding to the number displayed at each entrance is lit up.
When the game ball passes through the GO gate 88, the symbol on the symbol display device 83 (the symbol is displayed as if it is a big hit when the symbol content is displayed as 777) starts to change and stops after the set time. To do.
[0030]
When the stopped symbol displays a specific symbol, the opening / closing plate 20 opens, and when the game ball enters the opened opening / closing plate 20 and the V detection switch detects the entry, the opening / closing plate 20 closes.
The opening and closing plate 20 has a set opening time. When the time is reached, the opening and closing plate 20 is closed, and when the game continues three times, the game ball does not reach the ball entering device 18 opened in any game. Interval timer is closed after digestion.
When there is an excessive number of balls that can be said to be an important role of the pitching device 18, the pitching device 18 of the present invention is discharged from the discharge hole 21 and does not become a dead ball. The ball is entered in any of the above, and when the excessive game balls enter the V switch again, there is also a role of preventing the disappearance of the specific game described in detail later.
Although the details are not shown in the drawings, the discharge hole 21 is provided with a line to facilitate entry into the entry entrance of the prize entry entrance 91 that is difficult to enter. For example, it is formed so as to fall to No. 8 or No. 9.
[0031]
When the V switch detects the entry of a game ball, it is ready to start a specific game (details will be described later), the lamp of the operation button 92 starts flashing, and the ornament lamp 94 also starts flashing in the same manner.
At this time, when the game ball detects the entry to the V switch again, the preparation for starting the specific game disappears, and the lamp of the operation button 92 and the decoration lamp 94 are also turned off.
In this respect, the ball entry device 19 of the present invention discharges excess balls, so there is no problem.
By the way, the disappearance in the second ball described above is in accordance with the game rules, and if it is not configured in this way, the specific game is lost, so the product of the present invention can be said to be an excellent configuration.
Preparation for the start of a specific game means that when a V-switch is detected at the 16th game ball that has been fired, the specific game is determined to be 14 times according to the game rules. It can be. Therefore, if the operation button 92 is provided and pressed with the player's desired timing, 14 specific games can be used effectively.
[0032]
Next, the specific game means that when the game ball passes through the open gate 85, the electric role 84 is released and the game ball easily enters, and when the game ball enters the open electric role 84, the winning indication lamp 98 A plurality of set lamps are turned on at the same time and the double function works to obtain a high score.
Since the number of times this high score is obtained is set to 14 as described above, the first chance to open the electric role 84 can be effectively utilized by the operation button 92.
In the symbol display device 83, a winning symbol is set based on the set probability. In addition to the hit symbol, a specific symbol such as 333 is also provided. Then, the above-described probability is changed to a high probability, and the probability after the 14 special games are finished is high, so there is a chance that the special game is started again.
When the probability is changed, the probability variation lamp 95 blinks to notify the player that the probability has been changed.
