  The left-handed game area 201 is an area where the pachinko gaming machine 1 guides the game ball in the normal mode state and the jackpot round digestion won from the normal mode, the rotation angle of the operation lever 9b is relatively small, and the shot ball This is an area used in a state where the initial velocity of the game ball launched by the launching device 9 is relatively low. Here, the state in which the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the normal mode means that the probability of winning a lottery is low, and the tulip blades 24a and 24b of the start winning device 24 are not opened or closed or are opened or closed with a low probability (so-called electric chew support). Is not present).

In the right-handed gaming area 202, a number of gaming nails 17 are provided, as well as a through checker 19, a general winning tool 21, a starting winning tool 24, and an attacker winning tool 26. In the right-handed gaming area 202, This is an area for guiding the game ball in the jackpot round digestion from the short-time mode state, the probability variation mode state, the short-time mode or the probability variation mode, and the rotation angle of the operation lever 9b is relatively large. This is an area used in a state where the initial velocity of the game ball launched by is relatively high.

  Here, the state in which the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the short-time mode is a mode that normally enters after the big hit round digestion, the jackpot lottery probability is low, and the tulip blades 24a and 24b of the start winning tool 24 are high probability. It shows a state of opening and closing (a state where there is a so-called electric chew support).

  The state in which the pachinko gaming machine 1 is in the probability variation mode is a mode that enters after the round of probability variation jackpot round digestion, the jackpot lottery probability is high probability, and the tulip blades 24a and 24b of the start winning tool 24 are opened and closed with high probability. Indicates the state.

  On the other hand, the left wall 111 of the frame member 101 is provided with a warp hole 112 through which a game ball falling in the left-handed game area 201 enters with a relatively low probability by the guidance of a nearby game nail 17.

In the center of the stage 114, an entrance (not shown) of a guide hole 115 for guiding the game ball to the start winning tool 23 is provided. The outlet 115 b of the guide hole 115 is located above the start winning tool 23.

  The frame member 101 has a range of 2/3 from the top of the left side wall 111, and an upper wall 116 and a right side wall 117 are formed to project forward one game ball from other parts.

  On the other hand, the outer peripheral surface 121 on the upper right side of the frame member 101 arranged in the right-handed game area 202 is close to the outer rail 16a, and a ball path 122 is formed between the outer peripheral surface and the outer rail 16a. . A step portion 123 for reducing the ball speed is formed at an intermediate portion of the ball path 122. A right-handed game area 202 is formed below the exit of the ball path 122.

Next, a game operation when left-handed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.
In the normal mode, the pachinko gaming machine 1 displays an image corresponding to the normal mode on the display screen 200 of the image display device. In this case, the player adjusts the rotation angle of the operation lever 9 b to be relatively small, and launches a game ball having a relatively low initial speed from the hit ball launching device 9. As a result, the game ball is separated from the guide rail 15 at a relatively early time, falls to the lower left side of the corner portion 102, is guided to the left-handed game area 201, and collides with the game nail 17 and the windmill 18. Some pass through the warp hole 112, the stage 114 and the guide hole 115 and fall to the start winning tool 23, and some fall directly down without passing through the warp hole 112, and the general winning tool 20 or the start The winning tool 23 is won, and some are collected as an out ball at the out port 27 and discharged to the back side of the game board 11 through the out ball passage hole.

  When a game ball wins the start winning tool 23, the main control board 91 (see FIG. 2) performs a lottery with a probability variation jackpot and a normal jackpot with a low probability (for example, a probability of 1/390 of all jackpots in total). When winning one of the probable jackpot and the normal jackpot, the patterns 601, 602, and 603 displayed on the display screen 200 of the image display device are aligned, and the open / close door 25 a of the attacker prize-winning tool 25 until a specified round (for example, 15 times). For a long time. Here, the opening / closing door 25a is formed to be relatively wide, and by allowing the player to roughly adjust the rotation angle of the operation lever 9b, it is possible to cause the attacker winning device 25 to win a game ball with a high probability. Thus, the player can easily obtain a large number of prize balls, for example, 1700 prize balls.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1 shifts to the probability variation mode after the end of the jackpot stipulated round when winning the probable jackpot, and shifts to the short-time mode after the end of the stipulated round of jackpot when the normal jackpot is won.

  When the pachinko gaming machine 1 shifts to the probability variation mode or the short time mode, the pachinko gaming machine 1 instructs the player to make a right stroke using the display screen 200 of the image display device. Thereby, the player makes a right turn in both the probability variation mode and the time reduction mode.

Next, the game operation at the time of the right hit in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.
In the probability variation mode or the time reduction mode, the pachinko gaming machine 1 displays an image corresponding to the mode on the display screen 200 of the image display device. In this case, the player adjusts the rotation angle of the operation lever 9b to be relatively large, and launches a game ball having a relatively fast initial speed from the hit ball launching device 9. As a result, the game ball passes over the corner portion 102 while being guided by the guide rail 15, passes through the ball path 122, and falls to the right-handed game area 202. A game ball that falls to the right-handed game area 202 passes through the through checker 19 while colliding with the game nail 17, and some wins the general prize 21 and the start prize 24, Some pass through the right-handed game area 202 and gather as an out ball at the out port 27 and are discharged to the back side of the game board 11 through the out ball passage hole. Further, when a game ball passes through the through checker 19, the main control board 91 (see FIG. 2) opens and closes the tulip blades 24a and 24b of the start winning tool 24 a predetermined number of times. As a result, a game ball wins the start winning tool 24 with a high probability and the prize ball is paid out. Therefore, the number of prize balls to be paid out in the pachinko machine 1 is equal to the number of game balls launched from the hit ball launching device 9. It becomes around 100%, and the player can continuously execute the jackpot lottery without almost reducing the hand-held game balls. Such a state is generally called a state where there is an electric chew support.

  In the probability variation mode, the main control board 91 (see FIG. 2) has a high probability (for example, 1/39 in total for all jackpots) every time a game ball wins the start winning tool 24 with the electric chew support. Probability) and random jackpot lottery lottery, and when winning one of the odd jackpot or regular jackpot, the patterns 601, 602, 603 are aligned, and the open / close door 25a of the attacker prize winning tool 25 is opened for a long time until the specified round. Let Here, the probability variation mode continues until winning the jackpot.

  In the time reduction mode, the main control board 91 (see FIG. 2) has a low probability (for example, a probability of 1/390 in total for all jackpots) every time a game ball wins the start winning tool 24 with the electric chew support. ), If the winning lottery and the regular jackpot are selected, and the winning block is either the winning jackpot or the regular jackpot, the patterns 601, 602, 603 are aligned, and the open / close door 25 a of the attacker winning tool 25 is opened for a long time until the specified round. . Here, the main control board 91 (see FIG. 2) enters the hourly mode from the normal jackpot, and if the jackpot is not won by 100 lotteries in the hourly mode, the hourly mode is terminated and returns to the normal mode.

  Next, a characteristic configuration in the embodiment of the present invention will be described.

Reference numeral 403 is turned off, and only the display object on the movable display surface 100A1 is turned on.

  Such switching of the display state can be switched in accordance with the display on the display screen 200 and the above-described game operation status (the normal mode, the short time mode, the probability variation mode state, the jackpot winning state, etc.).

For example, the normal mode or the like, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), a display and a display of a fixed display surface 100A2 of the movable display surface 100A1 displays a single presentation object in the display area is enlarged by integrated with, the The player's interest is poured into the entire display surface 100A by appropriately changing the display color of the production target.

  In addition, when performing a sense of expectation such that two of the patterns 601, 602, and 603 on the display screen 200 are aligned with each other in the normal mode or the like, the display content of the display screen 200 is matched. For example, the effect of the expectation effect can be further enhanced by performing a related display such as “Still More” on the movable display surface 100A1. Furthermore, at the time of winning the jackpot, for example, by displaying “Big Win!” On the movable display surface 100A1, it is possible to have a function of notifying the player of the jackpot status.

  In this way, the polyhedral rotating drum 400 is controlled to rotate according to the mode of the image displayed on the display screen 200 of the image display device, and the effect display related to the mode of the image is displayed on the movable display surface. Thus, the display surface 100A can be switched according to the image of the display screen 200 that displays the game situation, and a more effective presentation is possible.

Further, when a fixed display surface 100A2 and the movable display surface 100A1 displays individually lit, one face of the polyhedron rotating drum 400, to form a single presentation object turned into integral with the display on the fixed display surface 100A2 by only lighting display the fixed display surface 100A2, in a state in which the display was allowed to integrated with the movable display surface 100A1 on the display of a fixed display surface 100A2, display movable display surface 100A1 and the fixed display surface 100A2 is expanded together are lit When an area is obtained and another movable display surface 100A1 is selected, the surrounding fixed display surface 100A2 can be turned off, and only the movable display surface 100A1 can be made to stand out. According to this, the display is switched from the state in which the movable display surface 100A1 is visually hidden to the state in which the movable display surface 100A1 stands out, so that it is possible to give the player a more surprising performance effect.
