When stopping in a mode, it becomes a non-special effect mode in which at least a part is different.

  For example, numerical symbols from 0 to 9 are used for the effect symbols 54a to 54c, and when the special symbol stops in a special manner, the effect symbols 54a to 54c are special effects such as "7 / 7.7". When it stops in the mode and the special symbol stops in a non-special mode, the effect symbols 54a to 54c stop in a non-special effect mode such as “2, 4, 5”.

  The first special symbol starting means 29 is a non-opening / closing type, and is disposed below the image display means 24. The first special symbol starting means 29 falls through the left passage 38 compared to the right passage 39. This makes it easier to win game balls.

  The second special symbol starting means 30 is an open / close type, and is constituted by an electric tulip type winning means having a pair of left and right opening / closing members 30a. The normal symbol after the fluctuation of the normal symbol display means 33 is stopped in a specific manner. In some cases, it is opened with a predetermined opening pattern.

  The opening pattern of the second special symbol starting means 30 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 31 opens and closes in a predetermined opening pattern during a special game state that occurs when the first special symbol after change and the second special symbol stop in a special mode, and opens and closes to open and close the variable winning opening 31a. A board 31b is provided, and when a game ball is won in the variable prize opening 31a, more prize balls are paid out than winning in other ordinary winning means 32 and the like.

  The opening / closing pattern of the open / close winning means 31 is an opening / closing operation of closing an opening / closing operation of closing a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls or winning a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds), whichever comes first. There are multiple types of rounds depending on the number of rounds, and one of the multiple types of opening / closing patterns is drawn at the time of drawing a special game.

The protrusion of the flexible substrate 90 enters the opening 93, and a part of the light emitter 87 enters the opening 93. . A sealing member 94 that covers the reflecting surfaces 88 a and 88 b, the opening 93, and the like is attached to the partition member 75 along the stage portion 74 on the lower front surface thereof.

  The movable effect means 77 is disposed at the lower front portion of the image display means 24, and a support base 97 mounted on the rear structure 96 below the image display section 50 of the image display means 24, and the front and rear of the support base 97. And a pair of left and right movable effectors 98 that are pivotally supported around a direction support shaft. The movable effect means 77 is normally in a retracted position where the movable effector 98 is retracted downward from the image display unit 50, and a special game state is generated or a special game state is notified in advance. In the gaming state, a predetermined movable effect is performed by moving to the moving position on the front side of the image display unit 50.

  In the game, the launching handle 9 is operated to supply the game balls in the ball supply tray 8 to the launching means, and the launching means sequentially launches the game balls to the game board 4 side. Then, a game ball is driven into the game area 11. At this time, if it is a normal probability state, a left strike is made to strike the game area 60 so that the game balls concentrate on the left passage 38 that is easy to win the first special symbol starting means 29.

  The game balls that have been driven into the driving area 60 of the left passage 38 flow down along the deceleration area 61 inside the inner rail 17, and then the game balls win the first special symbol starting means 29 or the like, Without moving, it moves from the out ball port 49 to the back side of the game board 4. When the game ball wins the first special symbol starting means 29, the first special symbol of the first special symbol display means 34 and the effect symbols 54a to 54c of the effect symbol display means 53 are changed for a predetermined time in synchronization.

  The first special symbol on the first special symbol display means 34 fluctuates for a predetermined time depending on whether or not the lottery result when the game ball wins the first special symbol starter 29 is a special game. The first special symbol after the change stops in a special aspect or a non-special aspect, and the effect symbols 54a to 54c of the effect symbol display means 53 stop in a special effect aspect or a non-special effect aspect.

  If the game ball that has entered the right passage 39 wins the normal symbol starting means 25, 26 even in the normal probability state, the normal symbol of the normal symbol display means 33 may fluctuate and stop in a specific manner after the fluctuation. However, since the opening time of the second special symbol starting means 30 is very short during the normal probability state, the possibility that the game ball wins the second special symbol starting means 30 is very low.

  If the first special symbol after the change of the first special symbol display means 34 stops in a special mode, it becomes a special gaming state advantageous to the player, and the opening / closing prize winning means 31 opens and closes a predetermined number of rounds with a predetermined opening and closing pattern. Thus, the player hits the open / close winning means 31 to make a right strike to concentrate the game ball on the right passage 39 side where the game ball is easy to win.

  After the game ball entering the right passage 39 moves to the center of the game area 11 through the lower side of the front structure 23, the normal symbol starting means 25, 26, the opening / closing prize winning means 31, the special symbol starting means 29, 30 Etc., or flow down to the out ball 49 side. In the case of a special game, a prize is awarded to the variable prize opening 31a that opens and closes with a predetermined opening / closing pattern.

  The game ball that is driven into the driving region 60 of the left passage 38 at the time of left strike collides with one or both of the two obstacle protrusions 63, or does not collide with the obstacle protrusion 63, and the front structure 23 side of the front structure 23 After colliding with the front peripheral wall portion 44, it moves to the deceleration region 61 through the lower side of the driving region 60 while changing the falling direction as appropriate.

  When the game ball collides with the obstacle projection 63, the front wall portion 63b is located directly below the collision portion 63c of the peripheral wall portion 63a, or the front wall portion 63b is located near the collision portion 63c. There is an advantage that the damage to the peripheral wall portion 63a due to the impact can be reduced as much as possible, and the durability is remarkably improved.

  The game ball that has passed through the driving area 60 flows down between the inner and outer passage walls 64 and 65 of the lower deceleration area 61 while contacting the obstacle protrusions 64a and 65a. In this deceleration region 61, the space between the separating plate portion 67 and the glass plate 13 and the space between the inner and outer passage walls 64 and 65 are narrow so that game balls can pass one by one, and the inner and outer passage walls Since the obstacle protrusions 64a and 65a are located on the opposite surface sides of 64 and 65, the flow-down speed of the game ball driven to the driving area 60 side can be sufficiently reduced.

  When the game ball enters the entrance 73, the game ball is guided to the stage unit 74 through the guide path 78 and rolls on the stage unit 74. Then, the game ball that has rolled to the center portion of the stage portion 74 falls from either the first drop opening 74f or the second drop opening 74g to the front side of the game board 4 and wins a special symbol starting means 29, 30 or the like. Or move to the out ball port 49.

  When a special gaming state occurs, such as when a special profit state occurs, the light emission effect means 76 performs a light emission effect, and the movable effect means 77 performs a movable effect. At the time of the light emission effect by the light emission effect means 76, when the light emitting body 87 emits light continuously or blinking, the light is reflected by the first reflection surface 88a and the second reflection surface 88b of the light guide portion 88, respectively, and within the plate thickness of the partition member 75. Is guided to the decorative design 86a side of the light emitting display portion 86, so that the V-groove 89 of the decorative design 86a can emit light. Therefore, the light emission display portions 86 of the partition member 75 emit light on both the upper and lower sides of the stage portion 74, and a light emission effect can be performed.

  On the other hand, since the movable effect body 98 moves to the moving position on the front side of the image display unit 50 on the movable effect means 77 side, the movable effect can be performed by reciprocating to the moving position.

  In this embodiment, the stage portion 74 that is generally disposed at the lower front side of the image display means 24 is located on the base plate 43 of the front structure 23 and the front side of the partition member 75 integrated therewith, that is, the front surface of the game board 4.
