, and the left and right sides thereof are normal winning openings 14a and 14b.

The variable large ball device 50 is provided within the winning space 54 with a transfer Fi 56 whose inclination angle changes slowly and rapidly, and with winning ball stop pieces 58a and 58b that cooperate with the transfer plate 56 to retain pachinko balls. It is being

A retention mechanism that can retain winning balls, which is constituted by this transfer plate 56 and winning ball stopping pieces 58a and 58b, will be explained.

First, in the gently inclined state of the rolling plate 56 as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the winning ball stopping pieces 58a, 58b and the rolling plate 5
6 becomes narrower than the diameter of the winning ball P, and the transfer board 5
The winning balls P transferred on both sides of 6 are the winning ball stop pieces 58a,
58b stops the rolling, and it stays on the transfer plate 56.

When it is detected that a prize has been entered into a specific winning opening, the motor 74 is driven, the cam 68 is rotationally driven via the motor shaft 76, and the engagement protrusion 70 of the cam 68 engaged with the engagement groove 66 causes the motor 74 to be driven. The vertical operating plate 64 is driven upward, and the transfer plate 56, which is engaged with the vertical operating plate 64 through the engagement hole 65, rotates around the support shaft 6o as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9. ,
