As a game pattern, for example, firstly, dice are displayed on the video display device 6, and the number of dice is "1" to "3".
The second screen uses a screen in which the moving disks ``1'' to ``5'' are shot down by a fixed submersible that has surfaced above the sea surface, and the sixth screen uses a screen in which the tulip potted plant ``1'' ” to “5” using a screen that changes over time.

In this way, when the switches /, 2A to /2C are operated again while the turns of each game are being displayed on the video display device 6 while changing, the changes stop and the video game ends. At the end of this process, the result shown on the video display device (i.e. the number of dice,
The number of the shot-down disc or the number of the potted plant) specifies the variable winning device to be opened among the variable winning devices 9A to 9C and the number thereof.

In other words, the control device controls the central variable winning device deB when the number is “1” in the result mode based on the end of the video display device.
When the number is "2", the left and right variable winning devices 9A and 9C are opened, and when the number is "6", all variable winning devices 9A-qC are opened.

In this way, the player receives the prize balls (for example, 15 balls) that are ejected when the game ball enters the special prize winning lower, and also receives the variable prize winning device according to the result of the video game played using the video display device 6. By opening, you can receive the benefit of increasing the subsequent winning rate.

According to the above configuration, since the video display device 6 is arranged in the center of the game board 5, the player can see the falling motion of the game ball while simultaneously seeing it displayed on the screen of the video display device B. The player can enjoy the game as a whole while viewing the game turns as part of the game board S.

However, in order to further eliminate the sense of discomfort, in addition to the above configuration, the present invention has the following features.

That is, the game board S is provided with a window /S as shown in FIG. 2, and the video display device 6 is arranged so that the display section /A faces the window /S. In this case, the video display device 6 is housed in the device case 1g fixed to the holder /7 of the back mechanism, and is placed in the window /S so that the front side /A' is slightly set back from the surface position of the game board 50.
