In the gaming machine 1, when the game balls launched by the launching device 53 toward the game area 6 win the various winning holes, a predetermined number of gaming balls corresponding to the winning holes are used as the upper balls. It is paid out to the tray 36. Further, when the game ball passes through the normal symbol variation start gate 19, a small hit determination / normal symbol determination random number value is acquired, and a normal symbol hit (small hit) determination is performed based on the acquired random number value. The normal symbol starts to fluctuate on the normal symbol display device 45 and stops after fluctuating for a predetermined time. At that time, if the hit determination result of the normal symbol is a small hit, the small hit normal symbol, in this example, stops at an odd number, and the two movable pieces 10a and 10b of the lower start winning port 10 start on the back side. The prize opening solenoid changes from a narrow open state (normal state) that is almost vertical and difficult to win, to a substantially V-shaped (reverse C-shaped) open and open state that is easy to win, making it easier for game balls to win. When a game ball wins the lower start winning opening 10, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as a prize ball.

また、前記上側始動入賞口９および下側始動入賞口１０に遊技球が入賞すると、大当たり当否判定用乱数値及び大当たり確定特別図柄の組合せ決定用大当たり図柄乱数値が取得され、前記取得された大当たり当否判定用乱数値に基づいて大当たりの当否判定が行われ、前記特別図柄表示装置８で特別図柄が変動を開始し、所定時間変動後に停止する。 Also, when a game ball wins the upper start winning opening 9 and the lower start winning opening 10, a jackpot determination random number value and a jackpot design random number value for determining a combination of jackpot fixed special symbols are acquired, and the acquired jackpot Based on the random number value for determination of success / failure, determination of success / failure of jackpot is performed, and the special symbol starts to fluctuate in the special symbol display device 8 and stops after fluctuation for a predetermined time.

前記大当たりの当否判定結果が大当たりの場合には、前記特別図柄表示装置８に大当たり確定特別図柄組合せ、この例では『１，１，１』（いわゆる‘１’のぞろ目）や『２，２，２』（いわゆる‘２’のぞろ目）等、同一数字の組合せ）で停止表示され、遊技者に有利な大当たり遊技（特別遊技）に移行する。前記特別遊技状態になると、前記大入賞口１５の開閉板１６が開いて遊技領域６の表面を落下してくる遊技球を受け止め易くして、大入賞口１５へ入賞可能にし、該大入賞口１５への入賞があると、所定数の遊技球が賞球として払い出される。前記開閉板１６は、所定時間（例えば２９．５秒）経過後、或いは入賞球数が所定個数（例えば１０個）となった時点で閉じるようにされている。また、前記大入賞口１５の開放中又は大入賞口１５が閉じてから約２秒以内に、大入賞口内の特定領域入賞口５２への入賞球が検出されると、前記大当たりを再度繰り返す継続権利が発生し、所定最高回数（例えば最高１０回）、前記開閉板１６の開放を繰り返すようになっている。 When the determination result of the jackpot winning is a jackpot, the special symbol display device 8 has a jackpot fixed special symbol combination, in this example, “1,1,1” (so-called “1” gaze eyes) or “2, 2, 2 ”(a combination of the same numbers such as“ 2 ”), and the game shifts to a jackpot game (special game) advantageous to the player. In the special gaming state, the open / close plate 16 of the grand prize opening 15 is opened to make it easy to receive the game ball falling on the surface of the gaming area 6 so that the big prize opening 15 can be awarded. When there is a prize for 15, a predetermined number of game balls are paid out as prize balls. The opening / closing plate 16 is closed after a predetermined time (for example, 29.5 seconds) elapses or when the number of winning balls reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10). Further, when a winning ball to the specific area winning opening 52 in the big winning opening is detected during the opening of the big winning opening 15 or within about 2 seconds after the closing of the big winning opening 15, the big hit is repeated again. A right is generated and the opening and closing plate 16 is repeatedly opened a predetermined maximum number of times (for example, a maximum of 10 times).

さらに、本実施例では、前記特別図柄の変動表示時、前記特別図柄表示装置８の特別図柄表示装置８では特別図柄の他にキャラクタや背景画像等の演出画像が表示される。また、前記上側始動入賞口９および下側始動入賞口１０に遊技球が入賞した際に選択された特別図柄の変動パターン（変動態様）が、前記第１可動部材１４１および第２可動部材１４５の回動（旋回）を含むものである場合、前記サブ制御基板２０５は駆動モータＭの作動コマンドと特別図柄表示装置８における演出開始コマンドを送信する。これによって、特別図柄表示装置８で特別図柄の変動が開始されると共に、前記駆動モータＭが駆動（一方向へ回動）して前記駆動装置１５０により前記第１可動部材１４１および第２可動部材１４５が，前記のように遊技盤３の前面でそれぞれ回動（旋回）する。 Furthermore, in the present embodiment, during the special symbol variation display, the special symbol display device 8 of the special symbol display device 8 displays effect images such as characters and background images in addition to the special symbols. Further, the variation pattern (variation mode) of the special symbol selected when the game ball is won in the upper start winning opening 9 and the lower start winning opening 10 is the first movable member 141 and the second movable member 145. In the case of including rotation (turning), the sub-control board 205 transmits an operation command of the drive motor M and an effect start command in the special symbol display device 8. Thus, the special symbol display device 8 starts to change the special symbol, and the drive motor M is driven (rotated in one direction), and the first movable member 141 and the second movable member are driven by the drive device 150. 145 respectively rotates (turns) on the front surface of the game board 3 as described above.

前記のように、第１可動部材１４１および第２可動部材１４５は、透明な板状体からなって表面がレンズカットされているため、前記発光装置１５８の照射光が第１可動部材１４１および第２可動部材１４５を透過して散乱し、さらに、第１可動部材１４１および第２可動部材１４５それぞれの回動（旋回）によって斬新な演出効果を発揮することができる。しかも、前記第１可動部材１４１と第２可動部材１４５は、前後に配置されて回動により重なる範囲が変化するため、遊技者から見える透過光の状態および第１可動部材１４１および第２可動部材１４５の報知面の視認状態が変化し、演出が一層斬新なものとなる。 As described above, since the first movable member 141 and the second movable member 145 are made of a transparent plate and the surfaces thereof are lens-cut, the light emitted from the light emitting device 158 is emitted from the first movable member 141 and the first movable member 141. 2 is transmitted through the movable member 145 and scattered, and a novel effect can be exhibited by the rotation (turning) of each of the first movable member 141 and the second movable member 145. In addition, since the first movable member 141 and the second movable member 145 are arranged at the front and rear and the overlapping range is changed by the rotation, the state of transmitted light that can be seen by the player and the first movable member 141 and the second movable member The viewing state of the notification surface 145 changes, and the production becomes more innovative.
