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 15a in the big winning opening is detected during the opening of the big winning opening 15 or within about two seconds after the closing of the big winning opening 15, the big hit is repeated again. The right is generated and the opening / closing plate 16 is repeatedly opened a predetermined maximum number of times (for example, a maximum of 16 times).

  Further, in this embodiment, when the variation mode selected when the game ball wins the start winning opening 10 is the variation mode using the shutter member 81, the sub control board receives the operation command of the drive motor 121. An effect start command is issued in the display area of the movable display device 9 (in this embodiment, the special symbol display section 42 in the display area). That is, as shown in 4-A to 4-C in FIG. 4, when the shutter member 81 is rotated from the upper front to the lower side of the display area of the display device 9 which is the initial position, and becomes the movable position. The image (characters in the figure) displayed in the display area of the display device 9 covered with the see-through portion T of the shutter piece can be seen through the see-through portion T. At that time, in the display area of the display device 9, the image seen through the see-through portion T changes under the control of the display control board. In this embodiment, the image (characters in the figure) that can be seen through by the see-through portion T is changed (moved) in accordance with the movement of the see-through portion T. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the characters “Li”, “−”, and “H” are sequentially displayed in a variable manner in accordance with the movement of the fluoroscopic portion T on the portion that is transparently seen by the fluoroscopic portion T in the display area. ing. As a result, it is possible to show the player as if the shutter piece on which the image is drawn changes, and to attract the player's attention. When the shutter member 81 reaches the movable position, the drive motor 121 is stopped by the detection of the detection unit 138 by the movable position detection sensor 153. Furthermore, since the shutter piece has a decorative part F that is less transparent than the see-through part T or cannot be seen through, a portion that is seen through the see-through part T and other parts in the display area of the display device 9 However, it is possible to make the player feel as if they are separate display devices.

  In addition, by setting a plurality of images to be displayed at positions corresponding to the fluoroscopic portion T in the display device 9 and selecting from among the plurality of images, the shutter member 81 always gives a constant impression to the player. Since the front surface of the display area is covered with a different shutter member 81, the game performance is improved.

By doing so, it is possible to make the player feel as if the shutter piece on which the image is drawn changes, and to attract the player's attention.

  When the shutter member 81 reaches the initial position and the detection unit 138 is detected by the initial position detection sensor 151, the operation of the drive motor 121 is stopped. When the shutter member 81 is in the initial position, in this embodiment, the display area is completely exposed without being covered with the shutter member 81, and the display of the display device 9 is visually recognized by the player without being obstructed by the shutter member 81. It becomes possible. In addition, since the shutter member is arranged so that it cannot be seen by the player at the initial position, the shutter member suddenly appears in front of the player when the shutter member moves, so that the player gets bored with the game. It is possible to prevent.

  The image that can be seen through by the see-through portion T is changed in accordance with the movement of the see-through portion T as follows. In this embodiment, if the rotation speed of the drive motor 121 is constant, the rotation speed of the shutter member 81 becomes substantially constant. Therefore, the rotation speed of the shutter member 81, that is, the movement speed of the fluoroscopic portion T is set in advance. Further, it is possible to calculate the time point at which the fluoroscopic part T does not overlap the decorative part F of other shutter pieces and the display area can be seen through. For this reason, as described above, the command related to the start of the operation of the drive motor 121 and the production start in the display area of the display device 9 is output at the same time, and the fluoroscopic part T is disturbed by the decoration part F of the other shutter piece upon receiving the command. It is set so that the display screen in the display area of the display device 9 starts to be switched in the same time as it takes to disappear, and further, the display screen is switched at the same speed as the movement of the fluoroscopic portion T. And the fluctuation of the image in the display area seen through by the see-through part T are matched. In addition, the first command output from the sub-control board includes a series of operations in which the shutter member 81 moves from the initial position to the movable position and stops at the movable position for a certain period of time, and then returns to the initial position in accordance with each effect. ing.

  In the present invention, as described above, the shutter member that can cover at least a part of the front surface of the display area is configured by dividing the shutter member into the shutter member on the one end side and the shutter member on the other end side. Since it overlaps and expands in the width direction at the movable position, it is possible to reduce the storage space for the shutter member, and even if the display area of the display device becomes large, it is possible to suppress an increase in the storage space for the shutter member. It is possible to reduce restrictions on the arrangement of other devices.
