Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a variable display device on a game board, and provides an advantageous special prize in which a player can win many prize balls based on the display state of the variable display device. This invention relates to an improvement of a pachinko game machine that provides a gaming state.

[Prior Art] Conventional 1 For example, as typified by a model called Fiber, a variable display device, a starting prize opening, and a variable display device are provided on the game board, and when a ball hits the starting prize opening, the variable display device is displayed. The change in the display state of the display device is started, and the change is stopped after a predetermined period of time, and the variable winning device is changed to a special prize game state in which it is extremely easy to win a winning ball based on the stopped display state of the display device. Many pachinko gaming machines are known.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, this type of pachinko game machine does not have an opportunity to enter the special prize game state unless the ball hits the starting prize hole and the display state of the variable display device changes. Therefore, if the hit ball does not easily enter the starting prize opening and the number of changes in the display state is small, not only will players lose their desire to play the game, but the game will also become less interesting and less popular. - On the other hand, if the number of times the display state changes by making it easier to enter the starting winning 08 balls, a certain number of prize balls (for example 13) will be released for each winning, and the game store will be required to pay a large amount of money. Business becomes unsustainable due to heavy losses.

Therefore, in game parlors, the above-mentioned problem is dealt with by adjusting the winning probability in the starting winning hole by adjusting the nails every day, but the current situation is that this does not give sufficient satisfaction to the players.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a pachinko game machine that can significantly increase the number of times the display state of a variable display device changes to increase the player's desire to play, and that does not cause a large loss to the game parlor. Our goal is to provide gaming machines.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention provides a variable display device that can sequentially variably display a plurality of types of identification symbols, and a plurality of starting prizes for starting a change in the display state of the variable display device. In a pachinko game machine in which a variable winning device is provided on the gaming board, the variable winning device is provided on the gaming board, which makes it significantly easier to win a winning ball when the variable display device matches a specific identification symbol predetermined in advance. A cover member in which a passage for winning balls is formed is attached to the starting winning hole. Further, a guide groove is formed in the game board to guide the balls flowing out from the passage outlet of the cover member to the ball supply tray. As a result, every time the starting prize winning 08 balls is won, only the winning balls are discharged to the ball supply tray as prize balls.
