_A series of moving image information including _M2 and _M2 is stored.

In the case of FIG. 5, the image information storage means 9
In the series of moving picture information which changes over time alternating between larger image V _L and the small image V _S is stored. Reference numeral 12 denotes a start switch. The start switch 12 is turned on when a hit ball enters a specific winning opening 4 to activate the image selecting means 10. from the moving image information, one of the moving picture information as shown in FIG. 3, for example by selecting accidentally, the intermediate image V _M1 on the image display unit 3 from an initial small image V _S, V _M2, V _M3
, A series of moving images changing to a large image V _L is displayed.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a driving means for opening and closing the variable winning means 5 for a predetermined time, and is constituted by a solenoid or the like. In the display device of this pachinko machine, when a hit ball enters the winning opening 4, the start switch 12 is turned on and the image selecting means 10 operates, and the image selecting means 10 is stored in the image information storing means 9 in advance. One piece of moving image information is accidentally selected from a plurality of types of moving image information, and the moving image is displayed on the image display means 3.

For example, when the moving image information indicating the number "7" in FIG. 3 is selected, the small image V _S is displayed on the image display means 3 in the initial stage. This early small image V
_S is a display unit 7 in a display state and a display unit 7 in a non-display state.
Large Image V _L and the display unit 7 ... and the display unit 7 ... and the non-display state are regularly distributed and the display unit 7 ... is the large image V _L of the display state of the display state of bets are distributed regularly However, it is small enough to be incapable of discriminating the closeness of the large image V _L to the player.

As time elapses from the display of the initial small image V _S , each display unit 7 changes between a display state and a non-display state, and the number of display units 7 in the display state gradually increases. while, to move sequentially outwardly from the portion where the display unit 7 display state ... corresponds to the small image V _S subimages V _S intermediate image from the V
Through _M1 ~V _M3 moving to changed to a large image V _L.

That is, each of the intermediate images V _M1 to V _M1 of the image display means 3
_VM3 moves to the right as indicated by the arrow in FIG.
Has moved to sequentially outwardly while increasing the display unit 7 display state ... it is gradually changes over time to the respective intermediate image V _M1 ~V _M3 menstrual with specific image. Therefore, the image display means 3 displays the large image Vs through the intermediate images V _{M1 to} V _M3 from the small image V _S.
A series of moving images that change over time to _L can be displayed, and a variety of displays that are more varied than before can be displayed.

In particular, in the initial small image V _S or the like, it is sufficient if it is not possible to identify what large image _{VL the} image finally displays. Therefore, in the initial stage after the start of the display, the final large image V S is displayed. _A variety of images can be displayed without being caught by the final large image _VL , such as displaying an image emphasizing the fun of the change regardless of _L.

Further, as the image progresses from the small image V _S to the intermediate image V _M1 , the intermediate image V _M2 , and the intermediate image V _M3 , the size gradually increases, and the display unit 7 in the display state displays the final large image V _L. The player predicts the type of the final large image _VL as the lucky number “7” at the stage of the intermediate image _VM1 or the like, for example, during the change of the series of moving images. He begins to have an expectation of the appearance of the image _VL .

[0021] Then, in the process of changing from the intermediate image V _M1 to the intermediate image V _M2, expectation is further improved for lucky number of players "7", the intermediate image V from the intermediate image V _M2
In the process of changing to _M3 , the lucky number "7" becomes clear, and it can be determined that a series of moving images is finally "hit", and the psychological state of the player changes from expectation to conviction . Therefore, the player can play the game while gradually increasing the expectation for the final large image _VL by a series of time-varying moving images.

Further, in order to display a series of moving images so as to gradually increase while changing the combination of the display state and the non-display state of a large number of display units 7 arranged at equal intervals in the horizontal and vertical directions, the initial small size is displayed. intermediate image from the image V _S V _M1 ~V _M3
In a series of moving image to be changed to a large image V _L through the intermediate image V _M1 ~V _M3 to the throat of stage so as not to recognize a large image V _L of the final, also the final large image V at any stage _L
It is very easy to choose whether to recognize
It is possible to easily adopt a display configuration that excites the interest of the player and maintains or excites the expectation.

Moreover, the display section 7 in the display state is a large image V
_A series of moving images are displayed while changing the combination of the display state and the non-display state of a large number of display units 7 arranged at equal intervals in the horizontal and vertical directions with time, since the image is changed to move outward and concentrate on the portion corresponding to _L. In spite of displaying the image, the displayed image can be clearly recognized when the stage reaches an appropriate stage.

At the same time when the moving image displayed on the image display means 3 ends, the image selecting means 10 and the driving means 13
The driving means 13 causes the variable winning means 5 to open for a certain period of time. This creates a situation in which game balls falling along the game board 2 easily enter the variable winning device 5, that is, a special game state that is extremely advantageous to the player.

When a game ball enters the winning opening 4 and, for example, a moving image shown in FIG. 4 is selected from a plurality of types of moving image information stored in the image information storage means 9, as shown in FIG. From the initial small image V _S through the intermediate image V _M1 to the large image V _L
After increased to, it decreased from atmospheric image V _L to the intermediate image V _M2 menstrual with small image V _S, and finally disappears become dots of the dot image V _D. If the stop at the large image _VL of the number "7" is "hit", the variable prize means 5 is not opened because it is finally "miss".

In this way, the small image V _S, through the intermediate image V _M1 , temporarily becomes the large image V _L , and then becomes the large image V _L
Since changes to the small image V _S from _L, psychological conditions such as the image is expectation will be swells greatly against per player in the process of changes from small image V _S to the large image V _L, exciting It is possible to play a game with a sense of urgency while enjoying the thrill under the game, and the interest of the player in the game is significantly improved as compared with the related art.

[0027] When selecting a moving image shown in FIG. 5, since changes alternately between a large image V _L and the small image V _S as shown, sustained player's expectation to the final image Can make the game even more interesting. In the above embodiment, the case where the number "7" is set as "hit" has been described. However, in addition to such a number, a specific pattern, character, or the like can be set as "hit" freely.

Also, in the case of "hit", not only the lucky number "7" is displayed, but also the background is blinked, a display such as a launch fireworks display that can be recognized as a hit, or a handshake is issued. You can also put out the pattern. Further, in the embodiment, the image display means 3 having a large number of light emitting display elements is used as the display units 7.
The image display means 3 used in the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a plasma display, a liquid crystal display, a CRT, or the like.
For example, known electronic display means may be used.
