However, in the variable prize ball device provided with the prize control member described above, the prize control member is the second prize control member.
If the hit ball enters the variable prize ball device during the period of switching to the state, the hit ball cannot win much in the specific winning area. Therefore, during the period when the winning control member is switched to the second state, it is known in advance that even if the hit ball enters the variable winning ball device, it is difficult for the entering ball to enter the specific winning area. In short, the result of the approaching ball was lacking in that it was known in advance.

The control member 30 for closing the specific winning opening 27
As a result, the ball cannot be projected to project above the specific winning area.
The winning ball is won by opening the special winning area and opening the specific winning area
A movable member that can be changed to a possible open state is configured.
You. The storage section 21c forms a ball storage section.
You. And the movable member is at least in the winning prevention state.
One ball can be temporarily stored in the ball storage section.
(See FIG. 1). By the special winning ball detector 29
The specific winning ball that has won the specific winning area is detected.
Specific winning ball detection means is configured. And FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2, ball detection by the specific winning ball detection means
The ball is stored by the ball storage unit at a position directly above the part.
It is. As a result, the storage ball is released and the release ball is immediately
Is detected by the special winning ball detecting means. Therefore,
For example, when the variable winning ball device is switched to the second state,
If released at the same time, the released ball is identified
At the time when the winning ball is detected by the winning ball detecting means, the second
Time has passed since the switch to the
Detection of the special winning ball detection means is invalidated
Inconvenience can be prevented as much as possible.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the movable portion is provided.
The material switches to the winning prevention state and the ball hits the specific winning area
Even if a hit ball enters the variable prize ball device during the period in which it is not possible, the movable member is opened if the hit ball is temporarily stored in the ball storage unit during the period.
When the storage ball in the ball storage section is released and the ball is
Is likely to win the specific winning area, and it becomes difficult to estimate the level of the probability of winning of the entering ball into the specific winning area at the stage when the hit ball enters the variable winning ball apparatus. Claim 2
According to the present invention, the effect of the invention described in claim 1 is obtained.
In addition, the position directly above the ball detection unit of the specific winning ball detection means
The ball is stored by the ball storage unit at
When the ball stored in the retaining part is released, it is released.
When the ball falls just below, it becomes a specific winning ball detection means
Detection from the release of the storage ball.
The time until the detection of the released ball by the fixed winning ball detection means
The ball that has been shortened and released is detected by the specific winning ball detection means.
Proof inconvenience associated with that time is long Risugiru until the
Can be stopped.

As a result, although the probability of winning a hit ball in a specific winning area can be changed, the result of the hit ball is known in advance at the stage of the hit ball entering the variable winning ball apparatus. Can be prevented, even if the winning control member is the second
Even if it is in the state, the player can perform the hit ball operation with the expectation that the possibility that the hit ball to be hit now will win the specific winning area remains.
