In this embodiment, when the second symbol of the second symbol display means 17 stops, the symbol determination section 42 of the profit mode control means 41 determines the type of the second symbol, and the display control section 44 according to the determination result. Selects one of the three types of continuation modes 1 to 3 set in the continuation mode setting section 51, and the continuation number display section 53 displays the number of continuations of the game in the continuation mode and notifies the player. For example, in the case of the continuation mode 1, the continuation number display unit 53 displays the continuation number “14”.
[0056]
Next, when the game ball passes through the second pass gate 19 and the plurality of display ball entry means 21 is opened, and when the game ball enters the plurality of display ball entry means 21, each of the prize display portions of the prize display means 25. Out of the 26, a specific plurality of winning display sections 26 perform a winning display. For this reason, an advantageous state in which a player can easily obtain a score occurs.
[0057]
When the game is over, the game starts with the next profit state being generated, and the game in the profit state is continued until the 14 games are completed. Therefore, if the game ball passes through the second passage gate 19 until the 14 games are completed, the multiple-display ball-in means 21 is opened, and the game ball enters the multiple-display ball-in means 21. Then, the plurality of prize display sections 26 of the prize display means 25 perform the prize display, and the game can be continued in a state where the score can be easily obtained.
[0058]
FIG. 6 illustrates a fourth embodiment of the present invention, in which the multiple-display ball-in means 21 is configured in a tulip type. The multiple display ball entry means 21 includes a projection 61 projecting forward from the mounting base 60. The projection 61 has a ball entrance 62 opening upward, and a pair of entrances 62 for opening and closing the ball entrance 62. An opening / closing claw 63 is provided, and when the game ball passes through the second passage gate 19, the opening / closing claw 63 rotates to the left and right sides to open upward. The plurality of effective display portions 32 are provided on the front side of the protruding portion 61.

With this configuration, it is possible to easily incorporate a light-emitting diode or the like constituting the effective display section 32 into the multiple-display ball entry means 21. That is, in the case of the first embodiment, since a plurality of effective display portions 32 are disposed behind the opening and closing plate 31 of the multiple-display ball-in means 21, the display state of the effective display portions 32 is slightly changed. It becomes difficult to confirm. However, in this embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which the respective effective display portions 32 are attached to the projecting portion 61 having the ball entrance 62. Since the projecting portion 61 normally projects forward at least by the diameter of the game ball, The display state of each effective display unit 32 can be easily confirmed, and each effective display unit 32 can be easily incorporated.
[0060]
As described above, each embodiment of the present invention has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the profit state generated by the profit state generating means 38 is not limited to the example in each embodiment, and it is sufficient that the profit state is advantageous to the player. The variable actuation type ball entry means 16 may be an electric tulip type or a so-called attacker type ball entry means having an opening / closing plate which is opened in a forwardly inclined manner. The first symbol display means 15 and the second symbol display means 17 may be ones having at least one symbol display section, and the former has three symbol display sections, and the latter has one symbol display section. It doesn't have to be equipped.
[0061]
In addition, a stop symbol after the change of the second symbol display means 17 is exemplified as a predetermined condition to be established, and a different profit state is generated according to the type of the stop symbol. It is also possible to use a symbol other than the stop symbol after the change as the establishment condition. For example, the success or failure of the establishment condition may be determined according to the big hit symbol of the first symbol display means 15.
[0062]
The starting means 18 is for changing the first symbol of the first symbol display means 15 when a game ball is detected, and therefore has any form or structure capable of detecting the passage or entry of a game ball. Is enough.
[0063]
In each embodiment, the multiple-display ball input means 21 is exemplified as the multiple-display game ball detection means. However, when the multiple-display game ball detection means detects a game ball, each of the prize-winning display means 25 wins It is sufficient that the display unit 26 has a function of displaying a prize on a plurality of specific prize display units 26. Therefore, instead of the multiple-display ball-in means 21 for detecting a game ball to enter, a pass-gate type device for detecting a passing game ball may be used.
[0064]
The prize display unit 26 of the prize display unit 25 performs a prize display when the multiple display game ball detection unit such as the multiple display ball unit 21 detects a game ball. However, other numbers may be used. The position of the prize display section 26 for performing the prize display may be appropriately determined in consideration of the nail arrangement, the difficulty of the ball entry due to other factors, and the like.
[0065]
The prize display portions 26 of the prize display means 25 may be arranged in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction at the center of the game board 6 or the like. Further, the first to third embodiments may be used in combination. In addition, it goes without saying that the present invention can also be adopted in a combination game machine such as a sparrow ball machine.
