Further, when the game ball passes through the left and right gates 84 and 85 for starting the normal symbol variation, a random number value for determining a small hit / ordinary symbol is acquired by the operation of the control device, and the normal symbol is based on the acquired random number value. The winning symbol (small hit) is determined, and the normal symbol starts to change in the normal symbol display unit 74, and stops after a predetermined time change. At that time, if the hit determination result of the normal symbol is a small hit, the small hit normal symbol, in this example, stops at an odd number, and the two movable pieces 77a and 77b of the start winning port 76 are on the back side starting winning port. By the solenoid for use, it is changed from a narrow open state (normal state) that is almost vertical and difficult to win, to a generally V-shaped (reverse C-shaped) open and open state that is easy to win, and it becomes easy for the game ball to win. When a game ball wins the start winning opening 76, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as a prize ball.

  When a game ball wins at the start winning opening 76, the control device operates to obtain a random number for determining the jackpot winning / not determining and the random determining value for determining the combination of the jackpot determined special symbol. Based on the numerical value, whether or not the jackpot is determined is determined, the special symbol display unit 75 of the display device 73 starts to change, and stops after a predetermined time change.

  When the determination result of the jackpot winning is a jackpot, the special symbol display unit 75 has a jackpot confirmed special symbol combination, in this example, “1,1,1” (so-called “1” ghosts) or “2, 2, 2 ”(a combination of the same numbers such as“ 2 ”), and the game shifts to a jackpot game (special game) advantageous to the player. In the special gaming state, the open / close plate 79a of the grand prize opening 79 is opened to make it easy to receive the game ball falling on the surface of the gaming area 71, and the prize winning hole 79 can be awarded. When there is a prize for 79, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as prize balls. The opening / closing plate 79a is closed after a predetermined time (for example, 29.5 seconds) elapses or when the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10). In addition, when a winning ball is detected in a specific area winning opening in the big winning opening during the opening of the big winning opening 79 or within about 2 seconds after the closing of the large winning opening 79, the right to repeat the jackpot again. And the opening / closing plate 79a is repeatedly opened a predetermined maximum number of times (for example, a maximum of 16 times).
