It is set to be released toward (direction).

D. Outline of Game Next, an outline of a game performed in the pachinko machine of the present embodiment and a flow of the game will be described.
First, at the beginning of the game (or before the game starts), the customer is waiting (during the demonstration), and the customer waiting image (moving image or still image) is displayed on the screen (display unit 6) of the display device body. ) Is displayed.
When a game ball that has been thrown into the game area 3 via the guide rail 2 wins the start winning opening 11 (that is, when there is a start winning of the special figure), the display unit 6 displays the fluctuation of the special figure. Then, the variable display game is executed.

  And, apparently, the special display stop display mode (a combination of special maps derived by the variable display) in the display unit 6 of this variable display game is a special display mode (for example, “3, 3, 3”, etc.) ), A bonus called jackpot is given to the player. In terms of control, for example, on the condition that there has been a start winning, the value of the big hit random number is extracted and stored, and the random number value that has been extracted and stored is compared and determined at the time of determination. Based on the determination result, whether or not to make a big hit is determined in advance, and the variable display game is started in response to this determination.

  When the big hit state is reached, the first big prize opening 12 or the second big prize opening 13 is temporarily opened within a range not exceeding a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), for example, for a period of up to ten prizes. An opening operation is performed. This release operation is performed up to 15 rounds, for example. In this jackpot state, display of the jackpot image for producing the jackpot state or notifying the player of the number of jackpot rounds is executed on the display unit 6.

Further, when a game ball is further won in the start winning opening 11 during the above-described variation display game or big hit, for example, the display unit 6 performs a special diagram start memory display and stores up to four to display the variation display. After the game or jackpot is over, the variable display game of the special figure is repeated or returned to the customer waiting state based on the memory (that is, the start memory).
That is, if the variable display game ends with a big hit, the game shifts to a big hit state, and if the variable display game ends with a start and there is a start memory, the variable display game is executed again, and the variable display game ends with a start and no start memory is stored. If the jackpot ends and the start memory is stored, the variable display game is executed again. If the jackpot ends and there is no start memory, the flow returns to the customer waiting state.

On the other hand, when the game ball passes through the usual figure start gate 15 during the game, a usual figure change display game is performed by the usual figure change display on the ordinary figure display. And if this variable display game result (stopped common figure) is a predetermined aspect, the privilege called per figure will be provided.
At this time, a game is held in which the pair of opening and closing members 11a of the start winning opening 11 is held in an open state in which the shape of the opening is reversed, for example, for about 0.5 seconds. As a result, there is a possibility that a game ball will enter the start winning opening 11 and it becomes easy to start winning, and accordingly, the number of executions of the special display variable display game is increased and the possibility of being a big hit increases.
Also, during the above-described variable display game, when a game ball is further won in the general chart start gate 15, a general chart start display is executed on the general chart storage display, and in this case, up to four are stored. After the end of the variable display game shown in the figure, the usual variable display game is repeated based on the memory.

  According to the gaming machine of the present example described above, the stage 50 has the guide wall 57 that guides the rolling of the game ball in the lateral direction on the front side, and the light absorbed from the light emitting source 72 is transmitted to the guide wall 57. Release from the chamfered portion 57a at the tip. For this reason, even if the game ball rolls on the stage 50, the light emitted toward the front is not blocked by the game ball. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the beauty and effect of the gaming machine by irradiating the stage 50 with light.

  Further, according to the gaming machine of this example, the lens member 71 is provided below the stage 50, the light emission source 72 is provided below the lens member 71, and the lens member 71 is formed so as to diffuse light, It is formed in a curved shape that bulges upward, and the stage 50 is formed so as to protrude upward. For this reason, the light irradiated to the stage 50 is diffused radially, can be uniformly absorbed into the stage 50, and the amount of light emitted from the chamfered portion 57a can be made uniform, which is beautiful. In addition, a groove inclined downward (flowing groove 54) is formed at the top of the raised stage 50, and a ball channel 62a around which the game ball falling from the groove 54 rolls is formed around the lens member 71. Provided. For this reason, not only the stage 50 but also the spherical channel 62a below the stage can be decorated with light by light from the light emitting source 72, and the efficiency is high.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications are possible.
For example, in the above embodiment, light may also be emitted from the guide walls 56 and 58. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which radiates | emits light from the said chamfering part by guide | inducing the light which the light emission source output to the chamfering part of the front-end | tip of a guide wall with an optical fiber, or its vicinity.

  In addition, it should be considered that the embodiment disclosed this time is illustrative and not restrictive in all respects.
