To do. For example, a variable display of the variable display of the variable display section 22, that is, “0,
1, 2, 3, ... 8, 9, F, J, L, P, U ”15
The symbolic representations of the streets, in turn, begin a variable display that appears while cycling at different speeds.

When a predetermined time elapses from the start of this variable display game (when a stop button (not shown) is pressed before the predetermined time elapses), the variable display portion is displayed. The variation of the variable display 22 is stopped in order from the left. Then, the stop display mode is "disconnect"
When it is the mode (for example, the mode in which the stop display mode is not "double eyes"), the normal game is returned to again. However, when there is a detection memory by the start detectors 7a, 4a, 5a and the lamp of the prize memory number display section 24 is lit, the variable display game is started based on the memory, and the prize memory display section 24 is the same. One of the lamps inside is turned off.

When the stop display mode as a result of the variable display game carried out in this way becomes the display mode of "big hit" (for example, the mode of double eyes), "big hit" occurs and a special game is performed. .. Here, the special game (big hit game) is a game state that gives the player a lot of chances of winning prize balls, and for example, the opening / closing door 320 of the variable winning device 30 is opened for a predetermined time (for example, 22 seconds). 1 cycle (however, before the predetermined time elapses, a predetermined number of hit balls (eg,
(9 pieces) When a prize is won, it is regarded as one cycle until it is closed at that time, and during each cycle, the game ball that is won in the special winning opening 31 of the variable winning device 30 is in the continuous winning detector 33 in the special winning opening 31. For example, up to 16 cycles are continuously performed with passing as a continuation condition (cycle update condition).

At the start of each cycle of this special game,
As shown in FIG. 23, the continuous winning opening / closing device 470 has a slot 4
71 is demagnetized to open the continuous winning opening (33a), and the solenoid 4 of the general winning opening opening / closing device 480.

Are open plate parts 485 on the left and right of the general winning opening / closing member 484.
It is closed by 485, and the big winning hole 3
The inflow ball into 1 is directly into the continuous winning opening (33a), or the guide inclined portions 485a and 485 of the opening / closing plate portions 485 and 485.
Guided by a, all are ready to flow into the continuous winning opening (33a). In this state, the continuous winning hole (33a)
When one sphere flows into the inside, it is detected by the continuous winning prize detector 33. Then, based on the detection signal, a solenoid 471 of the continuous winning opening / closing device 470 is instructed by a computer system (not shown) as shown in FIG.
While the continuous winning opening (33a) is closed by the continuous winning opening opening / closing member 475, the solenoid 481 of the general winning opening opening / closing device 480 is excited and closed by the general winning opening opening / closing member 485. The winning openings (34a, 35a) are converted into an open state. Therefore, during the subsequent cycle, the balls that have flowed into the special winning opening 31 will be the general winning openings (34a, 35).
A) or a state in which all the coins can flow into the general winning openings (34a, 35a) by being guided by the upper guide inclined portions 475a, 475a of the continuous winning opening opening / closing member 475. Then, when nine balls that have flowed into the general winning opening (34a, 35a) are counted, the opening / closing door 31 is closed by a command from the computer system based on the count signal, and the continuous winning opening opening / closing device 470. Further, the solenoids 471, 481 of the general winning opening opening / closing device 480 are demagnetized, and the continuous winning opening opening / closing member 475 and the general winning opening opening / closing member 485 are in the state of being retracted and returned, and the continuous winning opening (33a) and the general winning opening (34a, 35a) is in an open state.

Therefore, since the maximum number of balls that can flow into the continuous winning opening (33a) in each cycle of the special game is one, the continuous winning opening (33 in each cycle of the special game)
a) The probability of inflow of spheres into the inside is less than a certain probability (for example, 1 /
3 or less). However, during each cycle of the special game, until one ball flows into the continuous winning hole 33a, the ball flowing down in the game area 2 is guided by the guide inclined portions 491, 491 of the guide members 490, 490 to make the big winning hole 31. The balls that are collected in the center of the special winning opening 31 and flow into the special winning opening 31 are guided directly into the continuous winning opening (33a) or are guided to the guide inclined portions 485a and 485a of the general winning opening opening / closing member 485, and all the continuous winning openings ( 33a), it will flow into
During each cycle of the special game, it is extremely unlikely that the special game will be terminated midway without the continuation condition being satisfied, and the profit of the player can be achieved as much as possible.

Also in this embodiment, the continuous winning opening (3) of the ball flowing into the large winning opening 31 by the structure of the variable winning device 400 itself.
Since the inflow probability to 3a) can be suppressed to a certain probability (for example, 1/3) or more, the inflow probability for suppressing the inflow probability to the continuous winning opening (33a) to a certain probability (for example, 1/3) or less It is not necessary to provide the adjusting nail above the variable winning device 400. In the above description of this embodiment, when one ball flows into the continuous winning opening (33a) during each cycle of the special game, the continuous winning opening opening / closing device 470 closes the continuous winning opening (33a). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the continuous winning opening (33a) may be closed when two or three or more flowing into the continuous winning opening (33a). Further, in the game area 2 portion above the variable winning device 30, guiding members 490, 490 as guide means for guiding the game ball into the continuous winning opening 33a are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this, and in the first embodiment.
