（例えば８回）に規制するようにしてある。 When a batted ball enters the continuation prize opening 21 while the variable winning device 8 is in the second state described above, the continuation detector 30 detects the batted ball and receives a signal from the detector 30. The electric control device 11 converts the variable prize winning device 8 into a special game that is in a second state regulated under special conditions from the above-mentioned regulation range. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, this special game is converted into a second state in which the movable pieces 17, 17 are repeatedly opened and closed a predetermined number of times (for example, 18 times) every predetermined period of time (0.7 seconds). If the ball does not enter the continuous winning hole 21 until the predetermined number of times ends, the predetermined number of times ends and the movable members 17, 17 are returned to the first state. However, if the batted ball enters the continuation winning hole 21 before the predetermined number of times is completed, the electric control device 11 will end the special game in progress according to the signal from the continuation detector 30, and the next special game will be played. Transfer to games. In other words, if the batted ball enters the continuation entrance 21 in the middle of the predetermined number of times, the predetermined number of times (18
A special game is newly started regardless of the remaining number of times, and the predetermined number of times is counted as 1, 2, and so on. In other words, as long as the hit ball enters the continuous winning slot 21 until the special game ends, the variable winning device 8 will repeat the special game. In this way, Pachinko machine 1 will be able to reach the planned number (stopped number) in a short time.
is discharged, resulting in a so-called stoppage. Therefore, in this embodiment, a state in which the game can be converted a predetermined number of times (18 times) is defined as one special game, and the number of repetitions of the special game state in which this special game can be repeated is regulated to a certain number (for example, 8 times). It is set as.

きる。 As explained above, in the present invention, the electric drive sources that operate the movable pieces are individually connected via the link mechanism, and the ball that flows down the surface of the game board is difficult to receive in an upright position or Since the first state in which the movable piece is not accepted at all and the second state in which the movable piece is tilted and easily accepted, in the above-mentioned second state, the ball flowing down the gaming section can be accepted in various states in both movable pieces, that is, individually. Even with respect to unbalanced loads that occur when the loads of the batted ball on the movable pieces are different, the operation of changing the state of the movable pieces can be stabilized by the individual electric drive sources.

る。 Furthermore, in cases where the state of the ball flowing down the gaming section and the state of the movable piece returning from the second state to the first state coincide with each other, the flange and the tip of the movable piece may A so-called ball-biting condition may occur where the ball gets caught between the two. Even in such a case, since the movable pieces are individually connected to the electric drive source, it is possible to reliably return at least the movable piece on one side where ball biting has not occurred to the first state. Therefore, even if ball biting occurs in the movable piece on one side as described above, there will be a gap between the tip and the flange of the movable piece on the other side where the ball can enter. It is possible to prevent inconveniences such as continuous unfair profits being given to players.

分に高めることができる。 In addition, the concave chamber concave to the rear of the base forming an enlarged winning area is further divided into an upper space part and a lower space part by a plate-shaped inclined member, which allows for diversification of the flow path, and allows for the movable is the second
When converted into a state, the ball collides with a large number of obstacle nails and flows down while the flowing meridian is changed randomly, and the ball is guided to the inclined member according to the acceptance state of the movable piece. This structure reduces the downward force of the flow, generates a slip phenomenon on the upper surface, changes the flow direction randomly, and rolls backward in the concave chamber due to the downward slope. The falling direction of the ball in the upper space of the room can be varied in various ways, and the player can reliably see the falling state of the ball received by the movable piece. Therefore, the interest in playing pachinko can be sufficiently increased.
