A special symbol display device 42 shown in FIG. 3 is installed on a front surface of the game board 4 and at a site that can be seen by the player through the glass plate 61 of the glass frame 6. A special symbol (hereinafter also referred to as a special symbol) based on the fact that a game ball enters the starting prize opening 21 (hereinafter also referred to as an electric Chu) with a tulip character and a winning symbol is detected and a special symbol lottery is determined. Display control is performed so that the special figure is stopped and displayed in a manner corresponding to the special figure lottery result when a predetermined time has elapsed thereafter.
In addition, the movable method of the electric chew 21 can employ | adopt an appropriate movable method, if the change of the winning ease state and winning difficulty state with respect to a start winning opening is realizable.

  The display device 12 shown in FIG. 3 is installed on the rear side of the game board 4 and is composed of a liquid crystal display, for example, so that the display screen 121 can be viewed by the player through the glass plate 61 of the glass frame 6. Fluctuating the not-illustrated effect symbols composed of various characters, which are information related to the game, and three columns of numbers in the left, middle, and right columns, so as to synchronize with the above-mentioned special symbol variation display and stop display. In addition to the stop display, the game is enhanced by displaying a moving image according to the progress of the game at that time.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the game board 4 is formed in a substantially square shape when viewed from the front by a transparent synthetic resin plate such as acrylic resin, and the front (circular oval) is surrounded by guide rails 13 and 14 inside and outside. A game area 41 (including a shape). The game balls stored in the upper tray 7 are launched from the launching device when the launching handle 9 is rotated, and guided to the upper left by the inner and outer guide rails 13, 14. It is introduced into the game area 41 from the upper left and flows down.

  A display window 151 that is open so as to be able to visually recognize the effect symbol displayed on the display screen 121 of the display device 12 installed on the rear side of the game board 4 is formed at a substantially central portion of the game area 41. A frame-shaped decorative frame 15 is fixed to the periphery of 151 in a front view with various patterns on the surface.

Further, the game area 41 has a number of nails 18 (see FIGS. 4 and 5) and a single windmill 16 that change the flow direction of the game balls driven into the game area 41, and a display window 151. Among the game balls flowing down the left area of the game area 41 (the area on the left side of the decorative frame 15), the game balls that have entered the warp hole 152 provided in the left part of the decorative frame 15 are introduced, and the game balls are moved to the left and right. And a stage 153 that produces an effect of rolling in the front-rear direction, and a start winning port 17 under which the game ball flowing down the game area 41 and the game ball falling from the front side of the stage 153 can win. In the right area of the game area 41 (the area on the right side of the decorative frame 15), the game state is changed from the normal game to the player based on the through-chucker 19 through which the game ball can pass and the above-mentioned special drawing lottery result. Advantageous for An attacker 20 (FIG. 3) that can change from a closed state in which a right-handed game ball flowing down the right area of the game area 41 cannot enter the grand prize opening to an open state in which it can win the big prize opening when the game shifts to “big hit”. And when the game state after the attacker 20 is activated moves to a specific game (for example, “probability change” or “short time”) based on the above-mentioned special drawing lottery result, the right-handed game ball cannot be closed. Electric Chu 21 (see FIG. 3) that can be changed from a state to a winning open state, and an out port that discharges out-out balls that have not been won out of game balls that have been driven into the game area 41 to the back side of the game board 4 22 are provided.
As the movable method of the attacker 20, an appropriate movable method can be adopted as long as it is possible to switch between the easy-to-win state and the difficult-to-win state with respect to the big winning opening where a game ball is inserted and a big winning is detected.

The “big hit” used in this specification is a stop display in which a special figure is determined in advance, and is related to the same symbol or adjacent symbols in the left, middle, and right columns on the display screen 121 ( For example, it is possible to shift to the big hit gaming state in which the attacker 20 is operated for a predetermined period based on the fact that the displayed items are fixedly displayed with 1 · 2 · 3).
“Probability fluctuation” means a high probability state in which the winning probability of the special drawing lottery is higher in the game state after the operation of the attacker 20 than in the state at the time of the game start before the operation of the attacker 20 (normal game) (for example, In the “normal game”, the jackpot probability is 1/350, and in the case of “probability fluctuation”, the jackpot probability is 1/60), and the effect symbol displayed on the display screen 121 and the special symbol on the special symbol display device are displayed before being stopped. The variable display time is shorter than that of a normal game, and the number of games per unit time (the number of special drawing lottery determinations) is likely to increase.
Further, in the present embodiment, when the normal symbol lottery (hereinafter also referred to as a general figure) executed as a result of the passing of the game ball to the through chucker 19 is a small hit, By opening for a predetermined number of times for a predetermined time, the probability of winning the game ball to the start winning opening related to the electric Chu 21 is increased, and the winning probability of the normal drawing lottery is also higher than that of the normal game before the attacker 20 is activated. However, the game state after the operation of the attacker 20 becomes a high probability state where the game state becomes higher.
Furthermore, in the case of a high probability state than the normal game state, the display time of the normal map change until the notification of the result of the general drawing lottery is shortened, and the game ball is awarded to the electric chew 21 than the normal game. Transition control is performed for a predetermined number of times for easy opening (for example, the opening time becomes longer).
“Time reduction” means that the electric drawing 21 is given a predetermined number of times when the normal drawing lottery is in the high probability state described above and the result of the normal drawing lottery executed when the game ball passes through the through chucker 19 is a small hit. The game is opened for a predetermined time, and the probability of winning the game ball to the electric chew 21 per unit time is higher than that of the normal game, and the effect symbols displayed on the display screen 121 and the special symbols on the special symbol display device 42 are variably displayed. Although the time is shorter than that of the normal game, it indicates a state in which the big hit probability in the special drawing lottery is the same as that in the normal game (for example, a low probability state in which it is difficult to win the special figure winning such as the big hit probability 1/350).

  A detection signal when a game ball has won the start winning opening 17 and the electric chew 21 is transmitted to the first control device (main). The first control device makes a judgment such as “big hit”, “probability fluctuation”, “miss”, etc. according to the acquisition of a random number generated internally based on the detection signal, and is executed with a predetermined probability. The display of the display device 12 is controlled based on the second control device (sub) that controls the variation display of the special figure based on the selection of the variation pattern according to the result of the drawing lottery and assists the control processing based on the first control device. Controls the variation display of the effect symbols displayed on the screen 121.

The game in the gaming machine 1 is performed as follows.
First, the firing force of the launching device is adjusted by rotating the firing handle 9 so that the game ball stored in the upper tray portion 7 flows down to the left region of the game region 41.

  When the game ball derived to the left area of the game area 41 flows down the left side of the decorative frame 15 and wins the start winning opening 17, this is used as a trigger according to the result of the special drawing lottery executed by the first control device. On the display screen 121 of the display device 12 to be executed by the second control device, the effect symbol is synchronized with the special symbol of the special symbol display device 42 based on a predetermined variation pattern to be performed (including information related to the variable display time of the symbol). In addition, a display effect is produced in a predetermined effect mode for a predetermined time (variable display time), and a special figure is displayed as a predetermined stop display, and the same symbols are arranged and confirmed in the left, middle, and right columns. In the case of a game, the game state is controlled to shift to “big hit”.

  When the gaming state is “big hit”, the launcher 9 is operated by rotating the launching handle 9 so that the game ball is right-handed because the attacker 20 provided in the right region of the game board 4 is activated. Is adjusted to be stronger (for example, maximum force) than in normal gaming (left-handed).

  The game ball that has been hit to the right is guided to the right area of the game area 41 and easily wins the attacker 20 in the open state. The winning ball that won the attacker 20 is discharged to the back side of the game board 4 through a discharge path (not shown).

  The attacker 20 detects that 10 game balls have been won by an unillustrated attacker sensor provided inside the special winning opening or closes when 30 seconds have elapsed since opening, and then opens again after closing. This is repeated a plurality of times (for example, a maximum of 15 times). As a result, when a “big hit” occurs, a large number of game balls can be awarded to the attacker 20, and a large number of game balls as award balls are paid out to the upper tray part 7 in a short time from a prize ball payout device (not shown). It is.

It is possible to prevent a behavior such that the vehicle rides on 252.

  Furthermore, the transparent protective light guide plate 25 faces the back surface of the shielding wall 251 and the upper portion 262 faces the lower end surface 26a of the light guide plate 26 and the lower end surface 26a of the light guide plate 26. The light guide plate 26 is provided on at least one of the front surface and the back surface of the upper portion 262, and the light X2 of the second light source 30 incident from the lower end surface 26a. The second reflection unit 261 that diffusely reflects the second game information 33 and displays the second game information 33 is emitted. When the first light source 29 and the second light source 30 emit light simultaneously, the first reflection unit 255 and the second reflection unit 261 Cooperate to display predetermined numerical information in a light-emitting manner, thereby enabling an unexpected light-emitting display effect.

  Furthermore, by providing the light shielding portion 256 on the front end surface of the flange portion 252 in the transparent protective light guide plate 25, light leakage is prevented from the front end surface of the flange portion 252 and the first reflecting portion 255 emits light efficiently. One game information 32 can be displayed more clearly and luminescently.

  Furthermore, by providing the light shielding portion 263 on the upper end surface of the light guide plate 26, light leakage is prevented from the upper end surface of the light guide plate 26, the second reflecting portion 261 emits light efficiently, and the second game information 33 is more efficiently transmitted. It becomes possible to display the light emission clearly.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the following various modifications and changes can be made to the present embodiment without departing from the gist of the present invention.
(A) The first reflecting portion 255 is formed on the upper surface of the flange portion 252 in the transparent protective light guide plate 25.
(B) The second reflecting portion 261 is formed on the surface of the upper portion 262 of the light guide plate 26.
(C) In the transparent protective light guide plate 25, the shielding wall 251 and the flange portion 252 are integrally formed or separately assembled.
(D) As shown in FIG. 6, a part 251b of the shielding wall 251 of the transparent protective light guide plate 25 protrudes above the flange 252 and faces the surface of the stage 153 based on light incident from the LED 1 (red light source). The reflection part a in the left region of the flange part 252 is irregularly reflected (red) to cause red light emission information to appear, and the reflection part b of the shielding wall 251 partially protruding based on light incidence from the LED 2 (blue light source) The blue light emission constant information appears by irregularly reflecting (blue), and the reflective part c in the right region of the flange 252 facing the surface of the stage 153 is irregularly reflected (yellow) based on light incident from the LED 3 (yellow light source) and yellow. Emits light emission information.
(E) You may make it carry out light emission control of all or one part of several LED arranged side by side.
