  However, in the gaming machines disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, when the game balls are both distributed to the normal path, the game balls fall into the game area off the upper side of the start winning opening almost without exception. Yes. For this reason, when a game ball is distributed to a normal route, the player has to give up winning at the starting winning opening at that time, and there is a problem that the stage is not interesting as a stage. .

  Moreover, in the game ball rolling part described in Patent Document 1, a ball drop opening that is provided in the center of the specific route and through which the game ball passes is guided almost above the start winning opening without exception. And a groove-shaped guiding portion that is provided on the right and left sides of the ball drop opening and that guides the game ball to the normal path side and that is inclined downward, and the game ball is placed at the back of the ball drop opening. A drop opening guiding portion is provided for guiding to the head. For this reason, as long as the game balls are distributed to a specific route and reach the vicinity of the ball drop opening, the game ball is guided to the upper part of the winning prize opening almost without exception, so the behavior of the game ball in the specific route is simple and interesting. There was a problem of lacking.

  Furthermore, in the stage described in Patent Document 2, when the game balls are distributed to a specific route, they are surely guided above the start winning opening. In this way, because the rolling mode on the stage is very simple, it is possible to predict whether or not it is easy to win the start winning opening immediately by the path of the game balls distributed by the distribution unit. The game ball's behavior disappears.

  For this reason, it may be possible to arrange a movable object or the like on the stage that can affect the distribution and rolling of game balls. However, due to the increase in the size of the display device, the increase in size and complexity of the decorative effect member in the center case, it is difficult to arrange a movable object having a drive source due to problems such as space, and also from the viewpoint of cost. There are many problems.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and provides a gaming machine capable of enjoying the rolling of a gaming ball, which is the original purpose of the gaming machine, by effectively utilizing the space in the center case. The purpose is to do.

In a gaming machine comprising a start winning opening capable of giving a start condition for the variable display game based on a win, the stage has a first ball outlet and a second ball outlet for discharging a game ball to the game area And a third ball outlet and a third ball outlet that communicates with the warp passage and is extended in the left-right direction so that the game ball can roll. 1 center guide part is formed, and on the left and right sides of the first center guide part, a first rolling part on which the first ball outlet is formed, and on the back side of the first rolling part, 1 is arranged in communication with the downstream end of the rolling part and extends in the left-right direction so that the game ball can roll, and the game ball is placed on the left and right sides of the central part in the left-right direction. A second rolling part in which a guiding part for guiding the ball is formed, and a rear end of the second rolling part that is in communication with the downstream end of the second rolling part and the game ball rolls. A third rolling part that is extended in the left-right direction and is formed at a substantially central part in the left-right direction to form an inlet part of a central flow path for guiding the game ball to the third ball outlet. The game ball discharged from the third ball outlet is configured to be guided to the start winning opening with a higher probability than the game balls discharged from the first ball outlet and the second ball outlet. And a game ball discharged from the second ball outlet is configured to be guided to the start winning opening with a higher probability than a game ball discharged from the first ball outlet. A game ball guided rearward by the first central guiding portion of one rolling portion is guided to the inlet portion of the central passage through a bridge-shaped passage disposed across the second rolling portion. It is characterized by that.

  The second invention is characterized in that a bypass passage for guiding a game ball from the second rolling part to the third rolling part is formed on the upstream side of the second rolling part.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, a second central guiding portion that guides the game ball backward is formed at a substantially central portion in the left-right direction of the second rolling portion, and is guided backward by the second central guiding portion. The game ball is guided to the entrance portion of the central flow path.

  According to the third invention, even when the game ball rolling on the second rolling part is not guided to the third rolling part through the downstream end part or the bypass passage of the second rolling part, Therefore, the player's interest in rolling the game ball can be continued for a long time.

  According to the fourth invention, since the second rolling part is formed at a position where the upstream end is higher than the downstream end, the game that has flowed into the second rolling part in a state where the rolling momentum is weak. Even in the sphere, there is a possibility that the momentum of rolling becomes strong in the process of rolling toward the center, and reaches the downstream end of the second rolling part and is guided to the third rolling part. Therefore, the player can have a sense of expectation even for a game ball having a weak rolling momentum.

  According to the fifth aspect, since the fourth rolling part is disposed below the first rolling part, the space in the center case can be effectively utilized. In addition, the game ball rolling on the fourth rolling part crosses below the first rolling part and is discharged from the second ball outlet to the game area. The game is discharged from a nearby position.

  According to the sixth invention, the rolling prevention wall prevents the rolling of the game ball from the central portion of the second rolling portion to the fourth rolling portion, and the gaming ball at the central portion of the second rolling portion. Is guided from the second central guiding portion to the inlet portion of the central flow path. Therefore, it is possible to avoid a disadvantageous state for the player that the game ball that should be guided to the central flow path from the second central guiding portion flows into the fourth rolling portion.

  According to the seventh invention, the third ball outlet is disposed immediately above the start winning opening and at a position closest to the starting winning opening, so that the game ball discharged from the third ball outlet is Can be almost surely won at the start winning opening.

  The warp passage 56 opens toward the game area 11 and receives the game ball flowing down the game area 11, the flow path 56 b through which the game ball flowing in from the flow inlet 56 a passes, and the stage 60 opens. And a discharge port 56c for discharging the game ball that has passed through the flow path 56b to the stage 60.

  The inflow port 56a is opened obliquely upward to the left in order to receive a game ball flowing down the left side of the center case 21 in the game area 11.

  The flow path 56b is formed to meander to weaken the rolling momentum of the passing game ball.

  The discharge port 56 c is disposed so as to be connected to the left end portion of the stage 60. Therefore, the game ball discharged from the discharge port 56 c flows directly into the stage 60.

  A decoration member 59 is attached to the front surface of the stage 60, and a third ball outlet 73 is formed in the decoration member 59 so as to open the game ball rolling the stage 60 to the game area 11. The third ball outlet 73 will be described later.

  Next, the stage 60 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11, 12, and 13. 11 is a perspective view of the stage 60, FIG. 12 is a plan view of the stage 60, and FIG. 13 is an exploded view of the stage 60.

  The stage 60 extends in the left-right direction at the inner bottom portion of the center case 21 and is disposed so that the center portion is directly above the start winning opening 24. The stage 60 is formed in a substantially arc shape as a whole with both left and right ends being high. The stage 60 is formed of a colored transparent synthetic resin.

  The stage 60 extends in the left-right direction so that the game ball can roll, and extends in the left-right direction so that the game ball can roll, and extends in the left-right direction. A second rolling part 62 disposed on the back side of 61, and a third rolling part provided on the back side of the second rolling part 62, in which a game ball extends in the left-right direction so as to be able to roll. 63. Thus, the 1st rolling part 61, the 2nd rolling part 62, and the 3rd rolling part 63 are arrange | positioned in parallel with the left-right direction.

  A communication path 64 that protrudes from the stage 60 and communicates with the discharge port 56 c of the warp path 56 is formed on the left side of the first rolling part 61. Therefore, the game ball discharged from the discharge port 56 c of the warp passage 56 rolls on the communication path 64 and flows from the inlet portion 61 a to the first rolling portion 61.

  The first rolling part 61 is formed with a guide wall 66 for preventing the rolling game ball from dropping into the game area 11, and the rolling game ball falls to the second rolling part 62. A first partition wall 67 for preventing the above is formed. Therefore, the game ball rolling on the first rolling part 61 rolls between the guide wall 66 and the first partition wall 67.

  The central part of the first rolling part 61 is formed to be raised, and a first central guiding part 68 for guiding the game ball is formed on the raised part. The first central guiding portion 68 is inclined downward toward the rear and is formed wider toward the rear. Since the first central guiding portion 68 is formed at the central portion of the first rolling portion 61, the first central guiding portion 68 is positioned immediately above the start winning opening 24.

  A position corresponding to the first central guiding portion 68 in the first partition wall 67 is formed as an opening, and a game ball guided backward by the first central guiding portion 68 passes through the opening of the first partition wall 67 to be described later. Is guided to the third rolling part 63 through the bridge-shaped channel 92.

  Since the central part of the first rolling part 61 is formed to be raised, the left and right sides of the central part of the first rolling part 61 are formed to be recessed, and a game ball is guided forward in the recessed part. A first side guiding portion 69 is formed. The first side guide portion 69 is inclined downward toward the front and formed wider toward the front.

  A first ball outlet 71 that opens toward the game area 11 is formed at a position corresponding to the first side guide portion 69 in the guide wall 66. The game ball guided forward by the first side guide portion 69 is discharged from the first ball outlet 71 to the game area 11. Since the first ball outlet 71 is disposed so as to be shifted from right above the start winning opening 24 to the left and right sides, the game ball discharged from the first ball outlet 71 to the game area 11 is the start winning prize. The probability of being guided to the mouth 24 is low.

  An outlet portion 61 b that is a downstream end portion of the first rolling portion 61 is connected to an inlet portion 62 a of the second rolling portion 62 through a first communication path 74 disposed at the right end portion of the stage 60.

  As described above, the first rolling part 61 is formed in a waveform in which the left and right end parts and the central part are formed high, and the game ball rolling on the first rolling part 61 is the first central guide in the central part. It is guided to the third rolling part 63 from the part 68 or is guided to the first side guide part 69 on the left and right sides of the first central guide part 68 and discharged from the first ball outlet 71 to the game area 11. Or reaches the downstream end and is guided to the second rolling part 62 through the first communication path 74.

  An inner peripheral wall 74a facing the outlet 61b of the first rolling part 61 in the first communication passage 74 is curved to facilitate guiding the game ball from the first rolling part 61 to the second rolling part 62. Formed. Further, the first communication path 74 is formed with a ball guide portion 74 b that is inclined downward toward the inlet portion 62 a of the second rolling portion 62. Therefore, most of the game balls that have flowed into the first communication path 74 from the first rolling part 61 are guided by the inner peripheral wall 74a and the ball guiding part 74b and flow into the second rolling part 62.

  On the back side of the first communication path 74, a ball inflow portion 75 that extends in the front-rear direction and is formed higher than the first communication path 74 is disposed. The sphere inflow portion 75 communicates with the first communication path 74 via an inclined path 70 formed to be inclined upward toward the rear.

  The ball inflow portion 75 is formed to be inclined downward toward the front, and a standing wall 75a that restricts further rolling of the game ball is formed at the rear end portion of the ball inflow portion 75.

  As described above, since the ball inflow portion 75 is disposed on the back side of the first communication passage 74, the game ball that has flowed into the first communication passage 74 from the first rolling portion 61 vigorously flows into the ball guide portion 74b. In some cases, it passes through the ramp 70 and flows into the sphere inflow portion 75. In that case, the rolling direction is changed to the front by the downward inclination of the ball inflow portion 75, the flow returns to the first communication path 74 and flows into the second rolling portion 62, or to the first rolling portion 61. Will return.

  The second rolling part 62 has a rolling surface with a steep slope as compared with the first rolling part 61. Thereby, the center part of the 2nd rolling part 62 becomes a low position compared with the center part of the 1st rolling part 61. FIG. For this reason, the bridge-shaped flow path 92 that connects the first central guide portion 68 and the third rolling portion 63 of the first rolling portion 61 is disposed across the second rolling portion 62. Become.

  In the second rolling part 62, a third partition wall 77 is formed at the boundary between the second partition wall 76 for preventing the rolling game ball from dropping forward and the third rolling part 63. . Therefore, the game ball rolling on the second rolling part 62 rolls between the second partition wall 76 and the third partition wall 77.

  The central part of the second rolling part 62 is formed to be raised, and a second central guiding part 78 for guiding the game ball toward the rear is formed in the raised part. The second central guiding portion 78 is inclined downward toward the rear and is formed wider toward the rear.

  A position corresponding to the second central guiding portion 78 in the third partition wall 77 is formed as an opening, and the game ball guided rearward by the second central guiding portion 78 passes through the opening of the third partition wall 77 to the second position. 3 It is guided to the rolling part 63.

  Since the central part of the second rolling part 62 is formed so as to be raised, the left and right sides of the central part of the second rolling part 62 are formed to be recessed, and a game ball is placed forward in the recessed part. A second side guiding portion 79 for guiding is formed. The second side guide portion 79 is inclined downward toward the front and formed wider toward the front.

  The front end of the second rolling part 62 is connected to a fourth rolling part 80 that extends in the left-right direction along the second rolling part 62. As described above, the fourth rolling portion 80 is formed integrally with the second rolling portion 62 and is disposed below the first rolling portion 61.

  The fourth rolling part 80 is formed so as to be gently inclined downward toward the front, and the central part is formed so as to rise in the left-right direction, like the second rolling part 62. The raised central portion is disposed directly above the start winning opening 24.

  The fourth rolling part 80 has a second ball outlet 72 that opens toward the game area 11 and discharges the game ball to the game area 11. The second ball outlet 72 is formed to be horizontally long below the first rolling part 61 and above the start winning opening 24.

  A position corresponding to the second side guide portion 79 in the second partition wall 76 is formed as an opening. The game ball guided forward by the second side guide portion 79 is guided to the fourth rolling portion 80 through the opening of the second partition wall 76 and from the second ball outlet 72 to the game area 11. Discharged. In this way, the game ball guided from the second side guide portion 79 to the second ball outlet 72 rolls across the lower portion of the first rolling portion 61 at the fourth rolling portion 80. become.

  The second side guide portion 79 of the second rolling portion 62 is formed to face the left and right sides of the central portion of the fourth rolling portion 80. Therefore, it is unlikely that the game ball guided from the second side guide part 79 to the fourth rolling part 80 is guided to the center part of the fourth rolling part 80, and from the second ball outlet 72. There is a low probability that the game ball discharged to the game area 11 is guided to the start winning opening 24. Even if the game ball guided from the second side guide part 79 to the fourth rolling part 80 is guided to the central part of the fourth rolling part 80, the center of the fourth rolling part 80 is assumed. Since the portion is raised, the probability that the game ball discharged from the second ball outlet 72 is guided to the start winning opening 24 is not high. However, since the second ball outlet 72 is disposed above the start winning opening 24, the second ball outlet 72 is disposed so as to be shifted from right above the start winning opening 24 to the left and right sides. In comparison, the probability that the discharged game balls are guided to the start winning opening 24 is high.

  At the boundary between the second rolling part 62 and the fourth rolling part 80, the game ball rolls from the second rolling part 62 to the fourth rolling part 80 at a position corresponding to the second central guiding part 78. A rolling prevention wall 81 (see FIG. 13) for preventing movement is provided. The rolling prevention wall 81 prevents the gaming ball from rolling from the center of the second rolling part 62 to the center of the fourth rolling part 80, and the gaming ball at the center of the second rolling part 62 is Then, the second central guiding portion 78 is guided to the third rolling portion 63.

  On the upstream side of the second central guiding portion 78 in the second rolling portion 62, a guiding portion 83 that guides the game ball toward the rear is formed. The guide portion 83 is inclined downward toward the rear and is formed wider toward the rear.

  At the position corresponding to the guide portion 83 in the third partition wall 77, the first inlet portion 63a of the third rolling portion 63 is formed to be open. The game ball guided backward by the guide part 83 is guided to the third rolling part 63 through the first inlet part 63a. By the guide part 83 and the 1st entrance part 63a, the bypass channel | path 85 which guide | induces a game ball from the 2nd rolling part 62 to the 3rd rolling part 63 is comprised.

  Since the bypass passage 85 is formed in the vicinity of the inlet portion 62a, the game ball guided from the bypass passage 85 to the third rolling portion 63 hardly rolls the second rolling portion 62, and the second Immediately after flowing into the rolling part 62, it is guided to the third rolling part 63.

  The second rolling part 62 is formed at a position where the inlet part 62a as the upstream end part is higher than the outlet part 62b as the downstream end part, and the upstream rolling part is centered on the second central guiding part 78. The part is formed longer than the downstream rolling part. As a result, even in a game ball that has flowed into the second rolling portion 62 in a state where the rolling momentum is slightly weak, the rolling momentum increases in the process of rolling from the inlet portion 62a toward the central portion, and the outlet portion. Since 62b is lower than the inlet part 62a, the possibility of reaching the outlet part 62b is increased.

  The outlet part 62 b of the second rolling part 62 is connected to the second inlet part 63 b of the third rolling part 63 through the second communication path 87 disposed at the left end part of the stage 60.

  As described above, the second rolling part 62 is formed in a waveform in which both the left and right end parts and the central part are formed high, and the game ball rolling on the second rolling part 62 is the second central guiding of the central part. The second ball outlet is guided from the portion 78 to the third rolling portion 63 or from the second side guiding portion 79 on the left and right sides of the second central guiding portion 78 to the fourth rolling portion 80. 72 is discharged to the game area 11, is guided from the bypass passage 85 to the third rolling portion 63, or reaches the downstream end portion to the third rolling portion 63 through the second communication passage 87. It is induced.

  An inner peripheral wall 87a facing the outlet 62b of the second rolling part 62 in the second communication path 87 is curved to facilitate guiding the game ball from the second rolling part 62 to the third rolling part 63. Formed. Further, the second communication passage 87 is formed with a ball guide portion 87 b that is inclined downward toward the second inlet portion 63 b of the third rolling portion 63. Therefore, most of the game balls that have flowed into the second communication path 87 from the second rolling part 62 are guided by the inner peripheral wall 87a and the ball guiding part 87b and flow into the third rolling part 63. However, since the second communication path 87 is formed to be inclined upward as a whole, a game ball having a weak rolling moment cannot reach the third rolling part 63, and the second In some cases, the second communicating path 87 may return to the second rolling part 62.

  The third rolling part 63 is formed such that the left and right ends are high and the center is low. Moreover, it is not a waveform like the 1st rolling part 61 and the 2nd rolling part 62, but is inclined gently from the left and right end parts toward the central part.

  The third rolling part 63 is disposed along the rear wall 89 formed over the entire left and right direction at the rear end of the stage 60. Therefore, the game ball rolling on the third rolling part 63 rolls between the third partition wall 77 and the rear wall 89.

  An opening portion 90 penetrating in the vertical direction is formed at the lowest portion, which is the central portion of the third rolling portion 63. Below the second rolling part 62, the third rolling part 63, and the fourth rolling part 80, a central flow path 91 that communicates with the opening 90 and extends in the front-rear direction is disposed. Therefore, the opening 90 becomes an inlet of the central flow path 91.

  As with the second rolling part 62, the third rolling part 63 is formed such that the right end part is higher than the left end part, and the right rolling part centering on the opening 90 is the left rolling part. It is formed longer than the part.

  The central channel 91 is formed so as to be inclined downward toward the front, and has a third ball outlet 73 that opens toward the game area 11 and discharges the game ball to the game area 11.

  The third ball outlet 73 is disposed immediately above the start winning opening 24. Therefore, the game balls discharged from the third ball outlet 73 are guided to the start winning opening 24 with a high probability.

  The exit part of the 3rd rolling part 63 is only the opening part 90 formed in the center part. Therefore, the game ball flowing into the third rolling part 63 from the bypass passage 85 and the game ball flowing into the third rolling part 63 through the second communication path 87 both have the third rolling part at the center. To the central flow path 91 from the opening 90 and discharged from the third ball outlet 73 to the game area 11.

  Further, the downstream end portion of the bridge-shaped channel 92 communicates directly with the opening 90 of the third rolling portion 63. Therefore, the game ball guided backward by the first central guiding portion 68 of the first rolling portion 61 rolls in the bridge-shaped flow path 92 and flows into the central flow path 91 from the opening 90, and the third The ball is discharged from the ball outlet 73 to the game area 11.

  Further, the second central guide portion 78 of the second rolling portion is formed to face the opening 90 of the third rolling portion 63. Therefore, the game ball guided rearward by the second central guide portion 78 flows into the central flow path 91 from the opening 90 and is discharged from the third ball outlet 73 to the game area 11. Here, an opening 92 a having a size through which a game ball can pass is formed at a connection portion of the bridge-shaped channel 92 with the third rolling portion 63. Therefore, the game ball flowing into the central flow channel 91 from the second central guide portion 78 passes through the opening 92 a of the bridge-shaped flow channel 92 and is not inhibited from rolling by the bridge-shaped flow channel 92.

  Thus, all the game balls guided to the third rolling part 63 flow into the central flow path 91 from the opening 90 and are discharged from the third ball outlet 73 to the game area 11. That is, the game ball guided to the third rolling part 63 is guided to the start winning opening 24 with a high probability.

  The bridge-shaped flow path 92 extends in the front-rear direction across the second rolling part, is inclined downward toward the opening 90, and the rear end side is curved toward the opening 90. The rolling surface of the bridge-shaped channel 92 is formed in an arc shape along the outer shape of the game ball in order to prevent the rolling game ball from falling. For this reason, the game ball guided from the first rolling part 61 to the bridge-shaped flow path 92 rolls stably toward the opening 90. Therefore, the player can have a sense of expectation that the game ball is won at the start winning opening 24 when the game ball is guided from the first rolling part 61 to the bridge-shaped flow path 92.

  As described above, the game ball rolling on the stage 60 is discharged from the first ball outlet 71, the second ball outlet 72, or the third ball outlet 73 to the game area 11 and discharged. The probability that the game ball is guided to the start winning port 24 is higher in the order of the third ball outlet 73, the second ball outlet 72, and the first ball outlet 71.

  As shown in FIG. 13, the stage 60 is formed at the upper part of the stage in which the communication path 64, the first rolling part 61, the third rolling part 63, the first communication path 74, and the second communication path 87 are integrally formed. A member 95, a stage lower part forming member 96 in which the second rolling part 62 and the fourth rolling part 80 are integrally formed, and a central flow path forming member 97 constituting the central flow path 91 are constituted by three members. Is done.

  The assembly of the stage 60 is performed by attaching the lower stage forming member 96 to the lower part of the upper stage forming member 95 and attaching the central flow path forming member 97 to the lower part of the lower stage forming member 96.

  Since the central flow path forming member 97 is attached to the lowermost part, the third sphere outlet 73 of the central channel 91 is disposed below the first sphere outlet 71 and the second sphere outlet 72. Become. In this way, the third ball outlet 73 is disposed immediately above the start winning opening 24 and closest to the starting winning opening 24, so that the game balls discharged from the third ball outlet 73 are The possibility of winning at the start winning opening 24 is very high.

  A clear lens member 98 that is formed of a colored transparent synthetic resin and is disposed so as to fill the gap between the third decoration unit 38 and the stage 60 is attached to the right end portion of the stage upper forming member 95.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 14-22, the flow of the game ball rolling on the stage 60 comprised as mentioned above is demonstrated. In addition, the arrow shown on the stage 60 in a figure shows the rolling direction of a game ball.

  First, the first route will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a perspective view of the stage 60, showing the flow of game balls on the first route.

  The game ball discharged from the discharge port 56 c of the warp passage 56 rolls on the communication path 64 and flows into the first rolling portion 61. A game ball with a weak momentum of inflow into the first rolling part 61 does not reach the first communication path 74 and rolls on the first rolling part 61. Then, the game ball guided forward by the first side guide portion 69 is discharged from the first ball outlet 71 to the game area 11. This route is the first route.

  Since the first ball outlet 71 is disposed so as to be shifted from right above the start winning opening 24 to the left and right sides, the game ball discharged from the first ball outlet 71 to the game area 11 is the start winning prize. The possibility of winning the mouth 24 is very low.

  Next, the second route will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. 15 is a perspective view of the stage 60, showing the flow of game balls on the second route, and FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of the stage 60 showing the AA cross section in FIG.

  Among the game balls that roll on the first rolling part 61, the game balls having strong rolling momentum reach the first communication path 74 and flow into the second rolling part 62. A game ball with a weak momentum of inflow to the second rolling part 62 does not reach the second communication path 87 and rolls on the second rolling part 62. Then, the game ball guided forward by the second side guide part 79 flows into the fourth rolling part 80 and rolls across the lower side of the first rolling part 61 (see FIG. 16). The two-ball outlet 72 is discharged into the game area 11. This route is the second route.

  There is a low possibility that a game ball guided by the second side guide portion 79 and discharged from the second ball outlet 72 to the game area 11 will win the start winning opening 24. However, the game balls discharged from the second ball outlet 72 to the game area 11 while being near the center while rolling the fourth rolling part 80 can win the start winning opening 24. There is sex.

  Next, the third route will be described with reference to FIG. 17, FIG. 18, and FIG. FIG. 17 is a perspective view of the stage 60, showing the flow of game balls on the third route, and FIG. 18 is a perspective view of the back side of the stage 60, showing the flow of game balls on the third route. FIG. 19 is a sectional view of the stage 60 showing a BB section in FIG.

  Among the game balls that roll on the second rolling part 62, the game balls having strong rolling momentum reach the second communication path 87 and flow into the third rolling part 63. Further, since the second rolling part 62 is formed at a position where the inlet part 62a is higher than the outlet part 62b, even a game ball with a slightly weak momentum of rolling reaches the second communication path 87 and reaches the second communicating path 87. 3 flows into the rolling part 63. Further, even a game with a weak rolling momentum may be guided rearward by the bypass passage 85 immediately after flowing into the second rolling portion 62 and flow into the third rolling portion 63. The game ball that has flowed into the third rolling part 63 in this way rolls on the third rolling part 63, flows into the central channel 91 from the opening 90, and plays a game from the third ball outlet 73. It is discharged to the area 11.

  Even a game ball that does not reach the second communication path 87 by rolling on the second rolling section 62 and is not guided by the bypass path 85 is guided backward by the second central guide section 78. Flows into the central channel 91 from the opening 90 and is discharged from the third ball outlet 73 to the game area 11.

  The route discharged from the third ball outlet 73 to the game area 11 is the third route.

  Since the third ball outlet 73 is disposed immediately above the start winning opening 24 and close to the starting winning opening 24, a game ball discharged from the third ball outlet 73 to the game area 11 is provided. The possibility of winning at the start winning opening 24 is very high.

  Next, the fourth route will be described with reference to FIGS. 20, 21, and 22. FIG. 20 is a perspective view of the stage 60, showing the flow of game balls on the fourth route, and FIG. 21 is a perspective view of the back side of the stage 60, showing the flow of game balls on the fourth route. FIG. 22 is a sectional view of the stage 60 showing a BB section in FIG.

  Among the game balls that flow into the first rolling part 61 from the warp passage 56 and do not reach the first communication path 74, the game ball is guided backward by the first central guiding part 68 at the center of the first rolling part 61. There is also a game ball that rolls on the bridge-shaped flow path 92, flows into the central flow path 91 from the opening 90, and is discharged from the third ball outlet 73 to the game area 11.

  A route that is discharged from the third ball outlet 73 to the game area 11 through the bridge-shaped channel 92 is a fourth route. There is a very high possibility that the game balls discharged to the game area 11 through the fourth route will win the start winning opening 24 as in the third route.

  As described above, the game ball rolling on the first rolling part 61 is guided to the first ball outlet 71 having a low induction probability to the start winning opening 24 and has a induction probability to the start winning opening 24. Since there is a possibility of being guided to the highest third ball outlet 73 as well, it is difficult to anticipate winning at the start winning opening 24.

  According to the above embodiment, the following effects are obtained.

  The stage 60 has a plurality of rolls for guiding the game ball to the first ball outlet 71, the second ball outlet 72, and the third ball outlet 73, which are set to have different guidance probabilities to the start winning opening 24. A game ball that includes the moving parts 61, 62, 63, 80 and rolls on the first rolling part 61 is guided to the first ball outlet 71 having the lowest guiding probability to the start winning port 24, Since there is a possibility of being guided to the third ball outlet 73 having the highest guidance probability to the start winning opening 24, it is difficult to predict the winning to the starting winning opening 24, and the player has a sense of expectation to the end. You can enjoy rolling the game balls.

  In addition, when the game ball rolling on the first rolling part 61 is guided to the central flow path 91, it is guided through the bridge-shaped flow path 92 formed across the second rolling part 62. The space in the center case 21 can be used effectively.

  As described above, the space in the center case 21 can be effectively used to enjoy the rolling of the game ball, which is the original purpose of the gaming machine.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is obvious that various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea.

  The gaming machine of the present invention is not limited to the pachinko gaming machine as shown in the above embodiment, and uses, for example, gaming balls such as other pachinko gaming machines, arrange ball gaming machines, and sparrow ball gaming machines.
