That is, when the special symbol is changed by the special symbol display means 26, one or a plurality of, for example, three effect symbols 38a to 38c are variably displayed on the image display unit 34 in synchronization with the change of the special symbol. At this time, the effect symbols 38a to 38c change for a predetermined time through a predetermined effect symbol variation pattern determined by lottery on the condition that the special symbol start means 31 detects the game ball, and then synchronize with the end of the variation of the special symbol. Stop sequentially in a predetermined order (for example, left, right, middle, etc.).
演出図柄38a〜38cの変動後の停止図柄は、特別図柄が大当たり態様で停止する場合には全てが揃う大当たり演出態様となり、特別図柄が外れ態様で停止する場合には少なくとも一部が異なる外れ演出態様となる。例えば、演出図柄38a〜38cには0〜9までの数字図柄が使用されており、特別図柄が大当たり態様で停止する場合に演出図柄38a〜38cは「7・7・7」等の大当たり演出態様で停止し、特別図柄が外れ態様で停止する場合に演出図柄38a〜38cは「2・4・5」等の外れ演出態様で停止する。
The stop symbol after the change of the effect symbols 38a to 38c is a jackpot effect mode in which all are aligned when the special symbol is stopped in the jackpot mode, and at least a part of the off symbol effect is different when the special symbol is stopped in the miss mode. It becomes an aspect. For example, numerical symbols from 0 to 9 are used for the effect symbols 38a to 38c, and when the special symbol stops in a jackpot mode, the effect symbols 38a to 38c have a jackpot effect mode such as “7/7/7”. When the special symbol is stopped in a disengagement manner, the effect symbols 38a to 38c are stopped in a disengagement effect manner such as “2, 4, 5”.
回転発光演出手段14の操作指示に際しては、変動後の特別図柄が大当たり態様となる信頼度の高い演出図柄変動パターンを抽選したとき等、遊技者に対して期待感を抱かせる所定の遊技状態、例えば1個の演出図柄38bを除く2個の演出図柄38a,38cが同じとなるリーチとなった場合に、画像表示部34の所定箇所に回転発光演出手段14の操作を指示する操作指示画像39が表示される。
In the operation instruction of the rotary light emitting effect means 14, a predetermined game state that gives the player a sense of expectation, such as when a highly reliable effect symbol variation pattern in which the special symbol after variation becomes a big hit mode is selected, For example, when the two effect symbols 38a and 38c except for one effect symbol 38b become the same reach, an operation instruction image 39 for instructing the operation of the rotary light emission effect means 14 to a predetermined position of the image display unit 34. Is displayed.
そして、例えば特別図柄始動手段31が遊技球を検出したときに大当たりを抽選しており、変動後の特別図柄が大当たり態様となった後に特別遊技状態が発生する場合には、その操作指示画像39に従って図柄変動中に適宜タイミングで回転発光演出手段14の発光カバー14aを押圧操作すれば、発光カバー14a内の発光部が回転しながら明滅発光する回転発光状態となって、その後の大当たり態様での特別図柄の停止、及びこれに続く特別遊技状態の発生を予告する。
And, for example, when the special symbol starting means 31 detects a game ball, the jackpot is drawn out, and when the special game state occurs after the changed special symbol becomes the jackpot mode, the operation instruction image 39 If the light emission cover 14a of the rotary light emission effecting means 14 is pressed at an appropriate timing during symbol variation, the light emission part in the light emission cover 14a turns into a rotation light emission state that flashes and emits light. A special symbol will be stopped and the following special gaming state will be announced.

側からその後孔17aに係止ピン40を挿入して裏ケース46の操作孔65dに係止させることで、裏ケース46を遊技盤17の後側に係止 (固定)してもよい。この場合は、遊技盤17の座繰り部17b内に係止ピン40の頭部40aが位置し、この頭部40aが遊技盤17の前面よりも窪んだ位置にあり、前飾り体44を遊技盤17の前面に装着する際に頭部40aが邪魔になることがない。
Further, in the first embodiment described above, as shown in FIG. 8, the locking pin 40 is inserted into the operation hole 65 d from the back side of the back case 46 and inserted into the counterbore 17 b of the rear hole 17 a of the game board 17. By locking, the back case 46 is locked (fixed) to the rear side of the game board 17, but the locking pin 40 is inserted into the hole 17 a from the front side of the game board 17 to operate the back case 46. The back case 46 may be locked (fixed) to the rear side of the game board 17 by being locked in the hole 65d. In this case, the head 40a of the locking pin 40 is located in the counterbore part 17b of the game board 17, and the head 40a is in a position recessed from the front surface of the game board 17. The head 40a does not get in the way when mounted on the front surface of the board 17.
また本発明は、アレンジボール機、雀球遊技機等の他の遊技機においても同様に実施することが可能である。
The present invention can be similarly implemented in other gaming machines such as an arrangement ball machine and a sparrow ball game machine.
