The glass door 4 has two front and rear glass plates 11 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) that close the see-through window 10, and the front frame 3 corresponds to the glass door 4 on the back side of the glass door 4. A board 12 is detachably mounted.

  On the front surface of the game board 12, a guide rail 13 for guiding a game ball launched from the launching means and an outer periphery decorative member 14 having a substantially arc-shaped inner peripheral surface are mounted in the circumferential direction. A game area 15 having a substantially circular shape is formed inside the outer periphery decoration member 14.

  In the game area 15, a central character 18, a normal symbol starting means 19, a first special symbol starting means 20, a second special symbol starting means 21, a jackpot opening / closing winning means 22, a normal winning means 23, a normal symbol displaying means 24 Various game parts such as a first special symbol display means 25, a second special symbol display means 26, and a decorative body are arranged.

  The central combination 18 is arranged at the approximate center in the left-right direction of the game area 15. The left side from the left and right center of the upper side of the central combination 18 is a left-handed passage 28, and the right side is a right-handed passage 29. . Accordingly, the game balls that have been driven into the upper portion of the game area 15 flow down sequentially through either the left-handed passage 28 or the right-handed passage 29.

  2 to 4, the central accessory 18 includes a front structure 32A attached to the front side of the game board 12, a back structure 32B attached to the back side of the game board 12, and a front structure 32A. A liquid crystal type other image display means 33 attached to the back structure 32B on the back side of the game board 12 corresponding to the display window 32a, and a stage 34 attached to the front structure 32A on the front side of the image display means 33, Have

Is arranged. A plurality of normal winning means 23 are arranged on the lower left side of the central accessory 18 with a left-handed passage 28, and on the lower right side, a normal symbol starting means 19, an open / close winning means 22, and a normal winning means 23 are arranged. Etc. are arranged.

  The front structure 32A has a ball guide opening 36 that opens to the left-handed passage 28 side, and a ball guide passage 37 that guides a game ball from the ball guide opening 36 to the stage 34. The game balls guided to the stage 34 through the guide passage 37 are distributed to the left and right on the stage 34 and dropped from above the first special symbol starting means 20 to the front side of the game board 12. The front structure 32A is provided with normal symbol display means 24, first special symbol display means 25, and second special symbol display means 26 at appropriate locations such as the front surface.

  The normal symbol display means 24 is for variably displaying normal symbols, and is composed of a plurality of light emitting elements corresponding to a plurality of types of normal symbols (for example, two types of “O” and “X”). Under the condition that the starting means 19 detects a game ball, the two light-emitting elements blink for a predetermined time so that they are alternately turned on, and a random number value drawn when the normal symbol starting means 19 detects the game ball is determined in advance. The light emitting element on the “◯” side in the hit state is turned on when the hit determination value is matched, and the light emitting element on the “×” side in the off state is turned on and stopped in other cases. In addition, the normal symbol after change will be in a hit mode with a predetermined probability of about 1/10.

  The first special symbol display means 25 and the second special symbol display means 26 are constituted by a display unit such as a segment type capable of variably displaying the first special symbol and the second special symbol by a change in the light emitting part, etc. The special symbol display means 25 is detected on the condition that the first special symbol start means 20 and the second special symbol display means 26 on the condition that the second special symbol start means 21 detects the game ball, respectively. When the symbol fluctuates for a predetermined time and the random number value lottery when the first special symbol starter 20 and the second special symbol starter 21 detect the game ball coincides with a predetermined jackpot determination value, the predetermined jackpot In the mode, it is stopped in the off mode in other cases.

  Note that the first special symbol and the second special symbol after the change are in a big hit mode with a normal probability of 1/350 etc. during the normal probability state, and a high probability of 1/35 etc. in the high probability state after the big hit state ends. It becomes a big hit mode. Neither the first special symbol nor the second special symbol changes when the big hit state is in effect, and the other does not change when one is changing. Further, the start detection of each special symbol can be suspended up to a predetermined upper limit number (for example, 4), and when both have one or more suspensions, the symbol variation of the second special symbol display means 26 has priority. Furthermore, during the high probability state, the variation time of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is also shortened.

  The image display means 33 constitutes the effect symbol display means 40 corresponding to the first special symbol display means 25 and the second special symbol display means 26. When the first special symbol and the second special symbol change, the image change means 33 One or a plurality of, for example, three effect symbols 40a to 40c that fluctuate synchronously are variably displayed. The effect symbols 40a to 40c change for a predetermined time through a predetermined effect symbol variation pattern determined by lottery on the condition that the first special symbol starter 20 and the second special symbol starter 21 detect the game balls. It stops sequentially in a predetermined order in synchronization with the end of the fluctuation of the first special symbol and the second special symbol. The effect symbol display means 40 may be provided separately corresponding to the first special symbol display means 25 and the second special symbol display means 26.

  When the first and second special symbols stop in the big win mode, the stop symbol after the change of the production symbols 40a to 40c becomes a big hit directing mode in which the first special symbol and the second special symbol come off. In the case of stopping in a mode, at least a part is a different production mode.

  For example, numerical symbols from 0 to 9 are used for the production symbols 40a to 40c, and when the special symbols are stopped in a big hit mode, the production symbols 40a to 40c are jackpot productions such as "7 / 7.7". When it stops in the mode and the special symbol stops in the off mode, the effect symbols 40a to 40c stop in the off mode such as “2, 4, 5”.

  The first special symbol starting means 20 is a non-opening / closing type, and is arranged below the image display means 33. The first special symbol starting means 20 has a left-handed passage 28 compared to a right-handed passage 29. Game balls that fall after that are easier to win.

  The second special symbol starting means 21 is of an open / close type, and is constituted by an electric tulip type winning means having a pair of left and right opening / closing members 21a. The normal symbol after the fluctuation of the normal symbol display means 24 stops in a hit state. In some cases, it is opened with a predetermined opening pattern.

  The opening pattern of the second special symbol starting means 21 includes a normal pattern with a short opening time (for example, 0.2 seconds × 1 time) and a special pattern with a long opening time (for example, 2 seconds × 3 times). A normal pattern is selected during the state, and a special pattern is selected during the high probability state.

  The open / close winning means 22 opens and closes in a predetermined opening pattern during the big hit state that occurs when the first special symbol and the second special symbol after the change stop in a big win mode. When winning, more prize balls are paid out than winning in other ordinary winning means 23 or the like. The open / close winning means 22 has a large winning opening 22a that opens upward and an open / close plate 22b that opens and closes in the front-rear direction to open and close the large winning opening 22a.

  The open / close pattern of the open / close winning means 22 is an open / close operation that closes at the earlier of a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls winning or a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) after opening. There are a plurality of types of rounds depending on the number of rounds, and one of the plurality of types of opening / closing patterns is drawn at the time of the jackpot lottery.

  The normal symbol starting means 19 is for changing the normal symbol of the normal symbol display means 24 on the condition that the game ball is detected, and detects the passage of the game ball flowing down through the right-handed passage 29.

  The stage 34 is configured as shown in FIGS. While the stage 34 rolls the game ball from the ball guide passage 37 in the left-right direction, the stage 34 distributes the game ball to either the first drop part 38 or the second drop part 39, and from the drop parts 38, 39 to the game board 12.

  In the game, the launching handle 8 of the launching means is operated to launch a game ball into the game area 15. At this time, if it is a normal probability state, the player hits the left so that the game balls concentrate on the left-handed passage 28 that is easy to win the first special symbol starting means 20. When a game ball falling in the left-handed passage 28 enters the ball guide port 36 of the central actor 18, the game ball is guided to the stage 34 through the ball guide passage 37, and the first rolling unit is moved to the stage 34. 42, after passing through the second rolling part 43 and the third rolling part 44 to the first dropping part 38 or the second dropping part 39, the first dropping part 38 and the second dropping part 39 It falls to the front side of the game board 12 from either.

  When the game ball falls to the front side of the game board 12 through the third rolling part 44, if the game ball falls from the first drop part 38, it becomes easy to win the first special symbol starting means 20, and If it falls from the 2 drop part 39, it will become difficult to win the 1st special symbol starting means 20.

  When the game balls distributed at the stage 34 fall from the first drop unit 38 and the game balls win the first special symbol starting means 20, the first special symbols and the production symbols of the first special symbol display means 25 are displayed. The production symbols 40a to 40c of the display means 40 fluctuate for a predetermined time in synchronization. Then, depending on whether or not the lottery result when the game ball wins the first special symbol starting means 20 is a big win, the first special symbol after the change of the first special symbol display means 25 is a big hit mode or an off mode. The effect symbols 40a to 40c of the effect symbol display means 40 are stopped in the jackpot effect mode or the off effect mode.

  If the game ball that has entered the right-handed path 29 wins the normal symbol starting means 19 even in the normal probability state, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display means 24 may fluctuate and stop in a winning manner after the fluctuation. However, since the opening time of the second special symbol starting means 21 is short during the normal probability state, the possibility that the game ball wins the second special symbol starting means 21 is very low.

  If the first special symbol after the change of the first special symbol display means 25 stops in a big win mode, it becomes a big hit state, and the open / close winning means 22 repeats a predetermined round number opening / closing operation with a predetermined opening / closing pattern, so that the player The player hits the open / close winning means 22 to make the game ball concentrate on the side of the right-handed passage 29 where the game ball is easy to win. The game ball that has entered the right-handed passage 29 wins the normal symbol starting means 19, the open / close winning means 22, the special symbol starting means 20, 21 or the like, or flows down to the out ball opening 35 side. In the case of a big win, the big winning opening 22a is opened with a predetermined opening / closing pattern, and a large number of game balls are won at the time of opening, so that the player can play a game advantageously.

  When the normal symbol starting means 19 detects a game ball, the normal symbol on the normal symbol displaying means 24 fluctuates for a predetermined time and stops at the winning symbol or the off symbol, and when the winning symbol is reached, the second special symbol starting means 21 is released for a predetermined time. And it becomes easy to win a game ball to this 2nd special symbol starting means 21. When a game ball wins the second special symbol starting means 21, the second special symbol of the second special symbol display means 26 fluctuates for a predetermined time and is the same as the case of the first special symbol of the first special symbol display means 25. To work.

  In the stage 34, the first rolling part 42 to the third rolling part 44 arranged stepwise in the front-rear direction have a rotating body 46 in the second rolling part 43, and the rotating body 46 is a driving means 52. Since it is rotated in the direction of arrow a around the horizontal axis by driving, the rotating body 46 improves the holding time when the game balls are distributed, and improves the interest of the player regarding the distribution of the game balls in the game Can be made.

  That is, the game ball guided to the stage 34 from the ball guide port 36 through the ball guide passage 37 rolls on the first rolling part 42 in the left-right direction, and the back drop part 42b according to the inertial force at that time. , 42d and falls to the second rolling part 43. The game balls falling from the left and right back drop portions 42d fall from the second drop portion 39 to the front side of the game board 12 via the second rolling portion 43 and the third rolling portion 44, and the gaming balls are the first ones. The possibility of winning the special symbol starting means 20 is low.

  The game ball from the central back drop part 42b collides with either the first collision part 56 or the second collision part 57 of the rotating body 46 rotating in the direction indicated by the arrow a on the front lower side. And when a game ball falls on the 1st collision part 56, possibility that the game ball will be distributed to the 1st fall part 38 becomes large, and when it falls on the 2nd collision part 57, the game ball will be The possibility of being distributed to the second drop part 39 becomes large.

  For example, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, when the first collision portion 56 passes the upper side of the rotating body 46, a game ball between the left and right protrusions 56b in a range including the rear side from the vicinity of the top portion. If the ball falls, the game ball receives the rotational force of the rotating body 46 and is guided to the rear side by the protrusions 56b on both sides of the first collision portion 56 in the direction indicated by the arrow a. The ball enters the sphere inlet 48 that opens to the lower drop portion 38b through the communication passage 47 and is guided in the direction indicated by the arrow c, and then falls downward from the lower drop portion 38b in the direction indicated by the arrow c.

  If a game ball falls between the left and right protrusions 56b on the front side of the top of the first collision part 56, the game ball is opposite to the rotation of the rotating body 46 on both sides of the concave part 56a of the first collision part 56. After being guided in the direction indicated by the arrow a toward the front side by the protrusion 56b and guided in the direction indicated by the arrow d to the upper drop part 38a on the third rolling part 44, the upper drop part 38a is moved downward. e Drop in the direction of the arrow.

  When the game ball falls from the back drop part 42 b and swings to one side in the left-right direction, the game ball may fall outside the protrusion 56 b of the first collision part 56. At that time, the game ball is guided in the direction indicated by the arrow f along the steeply tapered portion 58a of the rotating body 46 in the left-right direction, and from the gently tapered portion 58b to the middle drop portion 43c and the third rolling portion 43 of the second rolling portion 43. It is guided to the second drop part 39 of the moving part 44.

  As shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, when the second collision part 57 passes the upper side of the rotating body 46, there is a protrusion 57a at the approximate center in the left-right direction of the second collision part 57. The game balls dropped from the portion 42b are distributed to either the left or right by the ridge 57a regardless of the rotation of the rotating body 46. For example, the game balls distributed to the steep taper portion 59a side of the rotating body 46 move in the direction indicated by the arrow g along the steep taper portion 59a, and move the gentle taper portion 59b and the middle drop portion 43c of the second rolling portion 43. Then, it is guided to the second drop part 39 of the third rolling part 44. Similarly, a game ball that has directly dropped onto the steep taper portions 59a on both sides of the ridge 57a is similarly subjected to the second fall of the third rolling portion 44 via the gently tapered portion 59b and the middle falling portion 43c of the second rolling portion 43. Guided to part 39.

  When a game ball falls on the maximum diameter portion of the protrusion 57a of the second collision portion 57, the game ball may be guided to either the front or rear ball inlet 48 or the first drop portion 38. is there. However, since the left and right widths of the protrusions 57a of the second collision part 57 are smaller than the left and right widths of the first collision part 56, the game ball that has collided with the second collision part 57 is moved to the ball entrance 48 and the first drop. It is rarely or rarely guided to any of the sections 38.

  12 and 13 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention. The rotating body 46 includes a pair of left and right protrusions 56b, a steep taper portion 58a, and a gentle taper portion 58b on the entire circumference in the circumferential direction of the first collision portion 56 and the second collision portion 57. A recess 56a is formed between the protrusions 56b, and a protrusion 57a protruding outward in the radial direction is provided between the protrusions 56b of the second collision part 57. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

  If it does in this way, the 1st collision part 56 can distribute a game ball similarly to 1st Embodiment, and if the game ball which collided with the protrusion 57a moves to the left or right in the 2nd collision part 57, it will be. The game ball can be guided to the left and right drop portions 39 through the protrusion 56b and the steep taper portion 58a. In this case, since the protrusion 56b and the steep taper part 58a on the first collision part 56 side and the second collision part 57 side can be formed in the same shape, the structure of the mold can be simplified.

  14 and 15 illustrate a third embodiment of the present invention. The length of the rotator 46 in the left-right direction is the length to both sides of the left and right ridges 56b, and the second rolling parts 43 on the left and right sides of the rotator 46 are connected to the drop part 43c from the rotator 46 side. An inclined surface 43e that is inclined toward the surface is provided.

  Thus, by providing the inclined surface 43e on the second rolling portion 43 side, the left and right tapered portions 58a, 58b, 59a, 59b of the rotating body 46 can be omitted, and the size of the rotating body 46 can be reduced. Can be planned.

  16 and 17 illustrate a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The rolling portion 65 of the stage 34 includes an inclined passage 66 communicating with the ball guide passage 37, a rotating body 46 disposed on the front side corresponding to the downstream side of the inclined passage 66, and the rotating body 46. It has the 1st fall part 38 arrange | positioned at the front side, and the 2nd fall part 39 arrange | positioned in the right and left both sides of the 1st drop part 38 in the front side of the rotary body 46.

  The rotating body 46 includes a first collision portion 56 and a second collision portion 57 in the circumferential direction of the outer periphery. When a game ball from the ball guide passage 37 collides with the first collision portion 56, the game ball is It is arranged so as to protrude on the rolling part 65 so as to get over the one collision part 56. When a game ball collides with the first collision unit 56, the game ball gets over the first collision unit 56 and is distributed to the first dropping unit 38, and when the game ball collides with the second collision unit 57 The game ball is distributed by the second collision unit 57 to the left or right second drop unit 39.

  Thus, the rotating body 46 is configured such that the game ball rolling on the inclined passage 66 collides with the collision portions 56 and 57, and the collision balls 56 and 57 distribute the game ball to the dropping portions 38 and 39, respectively. It may be. Therefore, the game balls that collide with the collision portions 56 and 57 of the rotating body 46 are not limited to the game balls that fall from the third dropping portion 42b. Also in this embodiment, the rotating body 46 rotates around the horizontal axis as in the embodiments. However, the horizontal axis in each embodiment is a concept that is compared with the vertical axis, and is around the axis in the left-right direction. Of course, this includes the case of rotating around the axis in the front-rear direction.

  As mentioned above, although each embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to this each embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, in each embodiment, although the stage 34 provided with the 1st rolling part 42-the 3rd rolling part 44 is illustrated, the 3rd fall which drops the game ball from the ball guide path 37 to the rotary body 46 is shown. The part 42b may be provided in a part other than the first rolling part 42 and may be two rolling parts 43 and 44 in the front and rear.

  Further, the first special symbol starting means 20 is illustrated as a ball entering means below the first dropping portion 38, and the game balls falling from the first dropping portion 38 are easy to win the first special symbol starting means 20, and the second The game ball falling from the dropping portion 39 is difficult to win the first special symbol starting means 20, but a symbol starting means other than the first special symbol starting means 20, a winning means, etc. are arranged below the stage 34. Alternatively, other than winning means, for example, a game ball may enter and pass. Accordingly, it is sufficient that there is at least a ball entry means below the stage 34.

  The first collision unit 56 may be used for guiding the game ball to the first dropping unit 38, and the second collision unit 57 may be used for guiding the game ball to the second dropping unit 39. Further, the rotator 46 is configured to distribute the game balls from the back drop part 42b to either the front or back, the left or right, and the game balls distributed in the front or back direction are distributed to the first drop part 38 in the left or right direction. The balls may be guided to the second drop part 39, respectively. Therefore, in that case, the rotating body 46 is not necessarily arranged in the rolling part 43.

  In addition, the first collision unit 56 has a structure in which game balls can be easily distributed in the front-rear direction, and the second collision unit 57 has only to have a structure in which game balls can be distributed right and left, and is not limited to the structure exemplified in the embodiment. Absent. For example, a plurality of protrusions may be provided at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction instead of the left and right protrusions 56b of the first collision part 56 and the protrusions 57a of the second collision part 57.

  The first collision part 56 and the second collision part 57 on the outer periphery of the rotating body 46 are provided approximately in half in the rotation direction, but two or more may be provided alternately in the rotation direction, or three or more types of collision parts may be provided. It may be provided. In the embodiment, the rotating body 46 is rotated forward, but may be rotated backward.
