  A normal symbol display unit 25 for displaying the result of the normal symbol lottery is provided corresponding to the through chucker 23 at the lower right of the normal game area 20.

  Next, details of the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 32 will be described.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the first movable member 31 that closes the left and right side upper parts of the specific game area 30 has the first movable member upper end 311 at the lower end of the game display unit 40. It is pivotally supported by the rotation center shaft 313 provided, and in the closed state, the first movable member distal end portion 312 which is the lower end portion thereof is configured to contact the movable stopper 37 provided on the game board. Yes.

  The second movable member 32 that closes the left and right side lower portions of the specific game area 30 has a second movable member lower end 321 pivotally supported by a rotation center shaft 323 on the outer side of the specific game area. In the closed state, the second movable member front end 322 which is the upper end of the second movable member front end 312 is adjacent to the first movable member front end 312 and partitions the specific game area 30 from the normal game area 20.

  Further, a driving source using a solenoid or the like (not shown) is connected to the rotation center shafts 313 and 323, whereby the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 32 are moved in the directions of arrows a and b. It can be turned.

  When the first movable member 31 is in the open state, the first movable member tip 312 has an arrow pointing upward in the specific game area 30 around the rotation center axis 313 provided on the first movable member upper end 311. It is configured to rotate as indicated by a (the upper two-dot chain line in FIG. 3), and the entire position is set so as not to obstruct the entry of the game ball.

  Further, in the opened state, the second movable member 32 has the second movable member tip 322 indicated by an arrow b about the rotation center axis 323 (the lower two-dot chain line in FIG. 3). The game ball is configured to pivot so as to protrude to the side, and to reliably guide the game ball to enter from above or from the side into the specific game area 30.

  Therefore, when both the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 32 are in the open state, the adjacent tips of the movable members generate a large opening in the form of a door, so that the specific game area 30 Compared with the conventional example, the space (open range) into which game balls can enter is greatly expanded visually.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the upper first movable member can accept a game ball falling from above and is inclined downward while closed, so that the game ball stays on the upper surface S. There is no. Furthermore, the space for installing the first movable member in the left-right direction requires a space that is at least larger than the diameter of the game ball since the conventional blade type requires a space for receiving the game ball in an open state (actually, Is required to be about three times the diameter of the game ball), and the installation space d of the present invention can be made smaller, so that the degree of freedom of design of an accessory such as a display device forming a specific game area is improved.

  Next, details of the stopper such as the movable stopper 37 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the movable stopper 37 is provided so as to be able to appear and retract on the game board by a driving source such as a solenoid, and when the first movable member 31 is opened, the first movable member 31 is rotated. The drive source is used to retreat from the game board to the inside of the game machine so as not to interfere with the game. When the first movable member 31 is closed, after the first movable member 31 recovers to the closed position (position moved from the rear to the front in FIG. 3), the first movable member 31 protrudes on the game board and moves the first movable member 31. It is comprised so that it may contact | abut from the specific game area 30 side.

  Therefore, in the closed state, even if the game ball gives an impact to the first movable member, the first movable member 31 is not inadvertently displaced inward of the specific game area 30, so that the specific game of the game ball Intrusion into the region 30 is prevented.

  Further, the first movable member upper end portion 311 that is the rotation center of the first movable member 31 and the second movable member lower end portion 321 that is the rotation center of the second movable member are respectively located at positions opposite to each other in FIG. The fixed stoppers 38 and 39 are provided so as not to further rotate from the chain line position shown in FIG.

  Next, the details of the normal symbol drawing and the special symbol drawing will be described.

  The normal symbol drawing is performed when the game ball passes through the through chucker 23, and at the same time, variable display of symbols on the normal symbol display unit 25 is started.

  In this normal symbol lottery, for example, the hit determination is performed with a low probability that the hit probability is 1/50 and the variable symbol display time of the normal symbol display unit 25 is 30 seconds. The variable display of the unit 25 is stopped at a specific design, and the pair of movable pieces 221 of the second start winning opening 22 constituted by electric tulips is opened once for 0.5 seconds, for example.

  However, in a predetermined situation after a specific special game is finished, the normal symbol drawing is performed in a so-called short-time state. In such a short time state, for example, the symbol variation time is shortened to 0.5 seconds, and the hit probability is set to a high probability such as 49/50.

  And when the lottery result is a win, the opening time of this electric tulip is also set long. That is, the pair of movable pieces 221 of the second start winning opening 22 is configured to open continuously for 2 seconds, for example, for 2 seconds.

  As described above, the special symbol drawing is performed when the game ball wins the first start winning port 21 or the second start winning port 22, and at the same time, the corresponding first variable display means 41 or Variable display of the three pieces of identification information constituting the second variable display means 42 is started.

  The special symbol lottery is set to a high probability of, for example, 298/300, and the lottery result indicates that the corresponding identification symbol of the first variable display means 41 or the second variable display means 42 is a predetermined time, Displayed after variable display. This variable display time is normally set to 30 seconds.

  When the lottery result is a win, the three pieces of identification information constituting the first and second variable display means 41 and 42 are changed to a specific design (specific display result), for example, 111 predetermined corresponding to the hit. , 333, 555, etc., and the opening operation of the first movable member 31 or the second movable member 32 is started after a certain period of time (for example, 2 seconds) after the symbol is stopped. The opening operation is set so that the opening operation is performed only once for 0.8 seconds, for example. Of course, several kinds of various opening operations may be set corresponding to the winning of the lottery. For example, when hitting at 333, the opening time is increased or the number of times of opening is increased. Is possible.

  Therefore, when the variable display of the first and second variable display means 41, 42 is finished at the same time and both of the special symbol drawing are hit, the first movable member 31 and the second movable member Since 32 is opened at the same time, the special game area 30 is further opened.

  Next, the details of the special game will be described.

  In this embodiment, four types of special games are set in advance. In these four types, the upper limit number of rounds is changed to four types of 2, 4, 9, and 16 rounds, and each winning probability is set to 25%.

  Therefore, when a game ball wins the special game winning opening (V winning opening) 52, one of the four types of special games is started.

  Note that one round of special games means that the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 32 are in an open state, and the number of game balls won in the specific game area 30 with an upper limit of 10 or 10 A game in which a predetermined number of times of opening and closing (for example, 18 times) in which one or both of the first and second movable members 31 and 32 are opened and closed without winning a prize until is reached.

  In the present embodiment, the upper limit number of rounds is set as described above, and the special game of the next round is not continued unless a game ball wins the special game winning port 52 during the game of the round. It is configured as follows.

  In the round game after the start of the first round, the next round is not played until the upper limit final round game set at a predetermined timing is completed without winning the game ball to the special game winning opening 52. The special game may be continued.

  When a game ball wins a special game winning opening (V winning opening) 52, a round sorting lottery that draws one of the above-mentioned four kinds of special games of 2, 4, 9, 16 rounds is performed. At the same time, the variable display of the identification symbol of the first variable display means 41 or the second variable display means is started.

  Then, after this variable display is performed for a predetermined time, which of the four types of special games is won is determined in advance corresponding to the four types, for example, 222, 444, 999. , VVV and the like, the combination symbol of the identification information is displayed when stopped.

  In addition, when a game ball wins the first or second start winning opening 21 or 22, a round distribution lottery is performed in response to the winning, and the combination symbol related to the special symbol lottery reflecting the result of the round distribution lottery is stopped. May be displayed on the first or second variable display means 41, 42.

  In this way, after the round distribution result is displayed, a special game having an upper limit number of rounds corresponding to the stopped symbol is paid out along with a prize ball (for example, 13) to be paid to the special game winning opening 52. Is started.

  With the start of the special game, the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 32 are both driven to be in an open state, and a large open space to the specific game area 30 is ensured as described above.

  Therefore, in the special game, the upper limit winning number (10) in one round can be easily cleared, and the player is not stressed.

  In the embodiment, the special game for the 16th round is added with a special situation after the special game for the 16th round is completed, that is, a privilege that is in a short time state as described above.

  Therefore, after the 16th round of the special game is completed, the normal symbol drawing and the special symbol drawing are performed in the above-mentioned short time state up to a predetermined number of times (for example, 30 special symbol drawing). If the special game state cannot be entered during the short state at this time, the normal symbol lottery and the special symbol lottery are completed at a predetermined number of times, and thereafter the normal game state is restored.

  As described above, in this short time state, for example, the symbol variable display time is shortened to 0.5 seconds, the hit probability is set to a high probability such as 49/50, and the electric tulip in the case of winning is set. The opening time is configured to be continuously opened twice for 2 seconds.

  In the first place, the through chucker 23 is configured so that the game ball can pass through relatively easily. Therefore, in this short state, the pair of movable pieces 221 of the second start winning opening 22 are opened and closed relatively frequently. Thus, it becomes easy to win a game ball to the second start winning opening 22.

  In the present embodiment, a game ball has won a prize at the first start winning opening 21 and the second start winning opening 22, and the special symbol lottery result based on the winning is not displayed yet, Each block is configured to store up to four balls, and as described above, the first ball holding portion display portion 43 and the second ball holding portion display portion 44 that light up and display the number of balls to be held are provided. .

  Therefore, in the short time state as described above, while the variable display of the lottery based on the winning to the second start winning port 22 is being performed (that is, before the variable display is finished and the lottery result is not displayed). Since the game ball is often won at the second start winning opening 22 and the winning ball is stored as a reserved ball, the opportunity for lighting on the second reserved ball display unit 44 is also obtained. Become more.

  With respect to the holding ball, after ending the display of the lottery result that is currently variably displayed, +1 is subtracted from the holding memory (holding ball) that has been added and stored by +1 based on the winning in variable display, and the lottery ball is responded to the lottery result The variable display is started, the lottery result is displayed after the variable display for a fixed time (usually 30 seconds), and if the lottery result is win, the first movable Since the member 31 or the second movable member 32 is driven, the timing at which the first movable member 31 or the second movable member related to the retaining ball is started to be driven is variably displayed. This is limited to the timing when the variable display of the first variable display means 41 or the second variable display means 42 is terminated.

  Therefore, when a plurality of the first reserved ball display unit 43 and the second reserved ball display unit 44 are lit and displayed, the lottery result of the first variable display means 41 performed based on the first reserved ball display unit 43 is displayed. Since the display timing is constant for each holding ball, on the other hand, the display timing of the drawing result of the second variable display means 42 performed based on the second holding display unit 44 is also constant for each holding ball. When the end timings of the variable display on the first variable display means 41 and the second variable display means 42 that are currently variably displayed are different, the first reserved ball display unit 43 and the second reserved ball display unit that are displayed next. The display timings of the lottery results relating to the 44 held ball memories will be different, and the display timings of the lottery results relating to the remaining reserved ball memories will all be different.

  In such a case, even if a large number of retaining balls are secured, the driving start timings of the first movable member 31 and the second movable member applied to the retaining balls do not coincide with each other, so the first movable member 31 and the 2nd movable member 32 do not become an open state at the same timing, and cannot enjoy the merit that a large open space to the specific game area 30 is ensured.

  For this reason, as for 2nd Embodiment, in addition to the said 1st Embodiment, this invention, when there is a holding ball display in the 1st holding ball display part 43 and the 2nd holding ball display part 44, By making the drive timings of the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 32 corresponding to the holding balls coincide, it is possible to enjoy the merit that a large open space to the specific game area 30 is ensured.

  This second embodiment has a control mechanism for adjusting the variable display time for synchronous drive control of the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 32, as shown in a block diagram in FIG. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the game ball won in the first start winning opening 21 is detected by the sensor 61, the first special symbol drawing means 62 generates a predetermined winning determination random number by the random number generating means, and the winning determination is made. A predetermined lottery result is obtained by extracting the corresponding lottery result from the winning determination table stored separately on the main control board of the gaming machine based on the random number.

  The lottery result is displayed according to the first display holding means 63 for executing or holding the display of the lottery result according to the game state, and the display of the lottery result by the first display holding means 63 is started or held. The first special symbol display control means 67 controls the display of the first variable display means 41 based on the first display time adjustment means 64 that adjusts the time.

  Further, the movable member drive control means 80 drives and controls the first solenoid that drives the first movable member 31 based on the start time adjustment of the drawing result display by the first display time adjustment means 64.

  Further, the first display holding means 63 indicates that the lottery result obtained when the first variable display means 41 is variably displayed by the first special symbol display control means 67 is the first special symbol display control means 67. Without first outputting to the first reserved ball storage means 66. The first reserved ball storage means 66 stores the lottery results as reserved ball memories up to four, and the first reserved ball display control means 65 is based on the increase / decrease in the reserved ball memory, and the first reserved display unit 43 Controls whether to turn on or off.

  On the other hand, with respect to the second start winning opening 22 sensor 71, the second special symbol drawing means 72, the second display holding means 73, the second display time adjusting means 74, the second holding ball display control means 75, the second reserved ball memory. The means 76 and the second special symbol display control means are provided in the same manner as in the first start winning award opening 21 sensor 61, respectively.

  Here, the first display holding means 63 is based on the holding ball storage information from the first holding ball storage means 66 and the second holding ball storage means 76, and each holding ball storage means has a holding ball storage. The first display so that the display operation of the first variable display means 41 by the first special symbol display control means 67 and the display operation of the second variable display means 42 by the second special symbol display control means 77 are synchronized with the conditions. The display time is adjusted by the time adjusting means 64.

  Similarly, the second display holding means 73 indicates that each holding ball storage means has a holding ball storage based on the holding ball storage information from the second holding ball storage means 76 and the first holding ball storage means 66. The second display so that the display operation of the second variable display means 42 by the second special symbol display control means 77 and the display operation of the first variable display means 41 by the first special symbol display control means 67 are synchronized with the condition. The display time is adjusted by the time adjusting means 74.

  This adjustment of the display time delays the start of the variable display related to the reserved ball storage of the one variable display until the other variable display stops and ends even if one variable display during the variable display ends. When the other variable display is stopped, the variable display related to the reserved ball storage is started, and the first variable display means 41 and the second variable display means 42 related to the started reserved ball storage are started. This is performed by setting the same variable display time until the variable display is stopped.

  When the display time is adjusted as described above, the first special symbol display control means 67 and the second special symbol display control means 77 are converted into the first variable display means 41 and the second variable display means 42 based on the adjustment. The display of the lottery results relating to the holding balls by the above is synchronized, and the movable member drive control means 80 controls the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 32 synchronously so as to be simultaneously opened.

  Next, the adjustment of the display time performed in this way will be further described with reference to the control flowcharts of FIGS.

First, as shown in FIG. 5, the first display time adjusting unit 64 and the second display time adjusting unit 74 are provided with a special symbol on the first variable display unit 41 by the first display holding unit 63 and the second display holding unit 73. It is determined whether 1 (special figure 1) is variably displayed or the special symbol 2 (special figure 2) is variably displayed on the second variable display means 42. S01
Next, if they are variable, the first display holding means 63 and the second display holding means 73 receive additional lottery results by winning the first start winning opening 21 and the second starting winning opening (S02). (That is, it is determined whether or not the first reserved ball storage means 66 and the second reserved ball storage means 76 have a stored ball memory). S03
Next, it is determined whether or not all of the additional lottery results are winning (that is, whether or not the blades are open). The process proceeds to step S06 in which the lottery result display of FIG. 2 is synchronously processed. If at least one is not winning, the process proceeds to step S05 in which the lottery result is displayed after the normal variable display time. S04
In step S06 in which the display of the lottery results is processed synchronously, as shown in FIG. At 73, when the winning lottery result related to the reserved ball storage is input, the remaining length of the variable display time of the special symbol being executed is compared. S07
Next, it is determined whether or not the variable display of the special symbol with the smaller remaining variable time is completed. S08
Next, when the variable display is completed, the next variable display by the variable display means is suspended until the other (variable display time longer) special symbol variable display is completed. S09
Next, when the other special symbol variable display (which has a longer variable display time) is finished (S10), the first display time adjusting means 64 and the second display time adjusting means 74 are set to the same variable display time from that point. The variable display time is adjusted to obtain a variable display pattern by. S11
Next, based on such time adjustment, variable display of the first variable display means 41 and the second variable display means 42 by the first special symbol display control means 67 and the second special symbol display control means 77 is started. S12
That is, in steps S08 to S11, the display time adjusting means (the first display time adjusting means 64 or the second display time adjusting means 74) having the smaller remaining variable display time is used by the display time adjusting means having the longer remaining variable display time. Until the variable display by the adjusting means (the first display time adjusting means 64 or the second display time adjusting means 74) is completed, the smaller display holding means (the first display holding means 63 or the second display holding means 73). The variable display start time of the winning display related to the input held ball memory will be extended.

  Therefore, the display of the winning result relating to the storage ball storage input to the first display holding means 63 and the second display holding means 73 is the variable display start of the corresponding first and second variable display means (41, 42). Are adjusted so as to be synchronized, and after the synchronized variable display is started, they are displayed through a variable display for a predetermined time.

  When a predetermined time elapses after the winning result is displayed, the first and second solenoids are simultaneously driven by the operating member drive control means 80, and both the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 32 are opened at the same timing. It becomes.

  In this manner, in the short-time state, there are many opportunities for the reserved balls to be stored in both the first reserved ball storage means 66 and the second reserved ball storage means 76. In this case, since the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 32 are both opened at the same timing, the game in the short time state becomes more interesting.

  However, even if it is not in the time-short state, there are not many opportunities for storing the holding balls in both the first holding ball storage means 66 and the second holding ball storage means 76, and in such an opportunity, in many cases, Both the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 32 are opened at the same timing. Therefore, adding such a configuration for synchronizing the display related to the reserved ball memory requires the player to make an effort to generate the reserved ball memory, and therefore provides a more interesting gaming machine for the player. It will be.

  Further, as another embodiment, in order to easily cause such simultaneous holding ball storage in the normal gaming state, a prize is given to at least one of the first start winning opening 21 and the second starting winning opening 22. In such a case, it is possible to add a configuration in which the variable display time of the variable display based on the winning is set to be extended (for example, 60 seconds) longer than the normal variable display time (30 seconds). If comprised in this way, about the game ball which won the start winning opening within the extended time (in this example, 30 seconds), since it becomes a reserve ball memory, the opportunity to become a reserve ball memory simultaneously can be increased. .

  Specifically, such time adjustment is not limited to the first display time adjustment means 64 and the second display time adjustment means 74 described above, and an effect pattern table for selecting variable display in the normal time on the main control board, Separately, a time extension effect pattern table with different variable display times etc. is prepared, and when winning at the start winning opening, it is possible to select this time extension effect pattern table or a normal effect pattern table, A selection is made based on the winning result (special symbol drawing result), and the time extension effect pattern table can be changed.

  Therefore, in this case, it is relatively easy to generate the reserved ball memory at the same time even if the time is not short, so that it is possible to provide an interesting gaming machine for the player.

  Further, as another embodiment, a guide piece for guiding a game ball to the first start winning opening 21 and the second starting winning opening 22 so as to easily cause such simultaneous holding ball memory in the normal gaming state. The opening is opened and closed, and the guide piece provided at the second start winning port 22 is operated to open in accordance with the occurrence of the reserved ball memory by winning the first start winning port 21, and the second start It is also possible to add a configuration in which the guide piece provided in the first start winning port 21 is opened as the reserved ball memory is generated by winning the winning port 22. Specifically, both the first start winning opening and the second starting winning opening are constituted by electric tulips, and the drive is performed by the first holding ball storage means 66 or the second holding ball storage means 76. On the condition that it is stored, the corresponding guide piece of the other start winning opening is opened for a certain time (for example, 2 seconds).

  Also in this case, since it is relatively easy to generate the reserved ball memory at the same time even if the time is not short, it is possible to provide an interesting gaming machine for the player.

  In the embodiment, the special game is a game in which the first movable member 31 and the second movable member 32 are opened simultaneously. Instead, only one movable member is opened, Alternatively, by opening only one of the left and right movable members of the specific game area, it is possible to configure a special game that further utilizes the diversity of rotation of the movable members in the present invention. Further, by combining these with the types of the upper limit number of special games, it is possible to configure various special games.

  Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7, a large winning opening 53 (so-called attacker) having a large width is provided below the second starting winning opening 22, and a door that closes the large winning opening 53 is opened only during special games. A single round game can be played for a predetermined number of rounds in which a maximum of 10 game balls are won in the big winning opening 53 or the open time (for example, 30 seconds) ends without winning up to 10 balls. It can also be configured as follows.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the first start winning opening 21 and the second starting winning opening 22 are arranged vertically below the specific game area 30, but not limited to this, as shown in FIG. It can also be separately arranged on the left and right of the game area 20. With this arrangement, the second start winning opening 22 can be won without opening and closing the electric tulip, so that the player can win a game ball directly into the starting winning opening 22 without using a normal symbol drawing. The game machine will be requested and an interesting gaming machine can be provided to the player. In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, when these two start winning awards 21 and 22 are comprised with an electric tulip, the opening / closing operation | movement is the game ball of the through chuckers 23 and 23 'provided in the right and left of the normal game area 20 It can be configured to perform each by a normal symbol drawing by passing.
