に保持するために、この入賞口に対応して遊技盤に植設
された遊技釘の間隔や遊技盤に対する角度を適宜に調整
して、入賞口への打球の入賞率を調整するようになって
いる。In addition, if the variable display is frequently performed by the variable display device during the game, the possibility that the special condition for performing the special game is achieved is increased, and conversely, the variable display by the variable display device is rarely performed. Otherwise, it is unlikely that special conditions will be achieved, so in order to properly maintain the profit balance between the game store and the player, the distance between the game nails set on the game board corresponding to this winning opening And the angle with respect to the game board is adjusted as appropriate to adjust the winning rate of the hit ball to the winning opening.

また、始動入賞口手段として、一対の可動翼片を有す

間に形成される入賞口が比較的狭小で打球の入賞が困難
である反面、打球が入賞口より入賞することで可動翼片
が開くと、入賞口が拡大されて始動入賞口手段への入賞
率が高まるようにした遊技機も開発されている。Also, as a start winning opening means, a tulip-type variable winning tool having a pair of movable wing pieces is used, and the winning opening formed between the movable wing pieces is relatively small at all times, but it is difficult to win a hit ball, A gaming machine has also been developed in which, when a movable wing piece is opened due to a hit of a hit ball from a winning opening, the winning opening is enlarged and a winning rate to the starting winning opening means is increased.

〈発明が解決しようとする課題〉 しかしながら、固定された大きさの入賞口を形成した
始動入賞口手段を用いた遊技機では、遊技店の営業中に
遊技釘等を調整できないために、営業中においては始動
入賞口手段への入賞率は略々一定となってしまい、始動
入賞口手段の入賞率の悪い遊技機にあっては、遊技者か
ら敬遠されるために遊技機の稼働率が低下してしまう。<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, in a gaming machine using a starting winning opening means having a winning opening of a fixed size, it is not possible to adjust a gaming nail or the like during operation of a game store. , The winning rate of the starting winning opening means is substantially constant, and the operating rate of the gaming machine is reduced because the gaming machine with a poor winning rate of the starting winning opening means is shunned by the player. Resulting in.

一方、始動入賞口手段にチューリップ式の可変入賞具
を用いた遊技機では、可動翼片の間に打球が入賞するこ
とにより可動翼片の状態が変化するので、遊技中に始動
入賞口手段への入賞率が変化することとなり、入賞口の

た場合には、可動翼片が開いて始動入賞口手段の入賞率
を高め得る状態が発生する頻度も低くなってしまうた
め、遊技者から敬遠されて稼働率が低い遊技機となる可
能性もある。On the other hand, in a gaming machine using a tulip-type variable winning tool as the starting winning opening means, the state of the movable wing piece changes due to the hitting of the ball between the movable wing pieces, so the game proceeds to the starting winning opening means during the game. The winning rate will change, and it is difficult to become a gaming machine with a significantly lower operating rate than a gaming machine using a starting winning opening means with a fixed winning opening size, but the movable wing piece is Since the winning rate of the ball hitting the closed winning opening must be adjusted with a game nail, etc., if the nail is adjusted so that the winning rate with the movable wing piece closed is low, the movable Since the frequency at which the wing pieces open to increase the winning rate of the starting winning opening means also decreases, the gaming machine may be avoided from the player and have a low operating rate.

加えて、通常の遊技状態においては始動入賞口手段へ
打球が入賞するような位置へ打球を発射するように遊技

えない。In addition, in a normal game state, many players play a shot so as to shoot a hit ball at a position where a hit ball wins the starting winning opening means, and the movable wing piece of the tulip type variable winning tool is opened. Since the hit ball wins relatively easily, if the hit ball wins continuously, the next win may occur while the game control by the first win is performed, and this subsequent win is invalidated In such a control, even if the gaming machine uses a tulip-type variable winning device as the moving winning opening means, it cannot be said that the effect can be sufficiently exhibited.
