The means for driving the driving means is provided by a control device when a general symbol on a symbol display device of a game machine, a so-called CR machine, becomes a predetermined specific symbol, or when a specific symbol coincides with the probability variation. A signal is sent so that the driving means can be driven for an arbitrary time. In the case of this embodiment, the general symbol of the symbol display device is a predetermined number, for example, 3, 7, a specific symbol, for example, a specific symbol, in the normal symbol display device and the special symbol display device provided on the game board in the solenoid 30. A signal is sent via the control device when a character or the like is displayed, and the solenoid is driven. Thus, the opening / closing wing piece 13 is always closed at the upper limit position in an upright state,
In addition, the blocking surface of the locking means is in contact with the locking pin to prevent the hitting ball from hitting and lowering the open / close wing piece.
When the general symbol of the symbol display device shows a predetermined number or the like, the solenoid 30 is excited by a signal emitted from the control device and the operating arm 40 advances, so that the blocking surface is disengaged from the lock pin and at the same time the rotating body is counterclockwise. Is rotated in the direction, the lock pin 38 is turned to the upper concave portion 45, and the ball guiding movable body 10 having the opening / closing wing piece 13 cooperating with the guide frame 14 is attached to the guide projection 7 and the guide hole 5 a of the base 1. The lower and upper wing pieces 13 fall down at the lower limit position to open.
The hit ball can be transferred from the lateral direction. The opening time of the opening / closing wing piece 13 is set to be longer or shorter by a signal issued from the control device. For example, in the CR machine, during the probable change, the opening time of the opening / closing wing piece of the variable prize device is made longer than usual, or the wing piece is lowered many times to increase the chance of winning and increase the interest of the player. After a predetermined time has elapsed, or when a predetermined number has entered within the predetermined time, the solenoid 30 is demagnetized, the operation arm 40 is retracted by the action of the spring of the actuator of the solenoid, and the operation pin 37 of the rotating body is pulled. The rotating body is rotated clockwise, and the guide frame 14 is rotated.
Is raised until it hits the upper limit stopper 8, and with its rotation, the lock pin 38 is returned to the lower position, and the operating arm 40 is further retracted by the stroke of the gap C alone, so that the blocking surface 44 slides on the lock pin 38. Then, the rotation of the rotating body is locked. At this time, the ball guiding movable body 10 is raised by the clockwise rotation of the rotating body 35, and the opening / closing wing pieces 13 stand up gradually, hit the upper limit stopper 8 at the upper limit position, and the lock pin 38 is stopped by the blocking surface 44, It is held upright and locked.
Therefore, even if a hit ball hits the opening / closing wing piece at the upper limit position, it is locked and is stably held without operating. Further, even if a wrongdoer tries to forcibly push down the opening / closing wing piece with a wire or the like, the wing piece does not descend and fraud can be prevented. If the solenoid of the variable prize device can be excited for an arbitrary time in response to a predetermined signal generated by the control device of the various characters to move up and down the guide frame and the opening / closing wing piece of the ball guiding movable body, The opening time at the lower limit position of the opening / closing wing piece of the induction movable body can be displaced. Alternatively, the ball-guiding movable body may be repeatedly opened and closed a predetermined number of times by repeatedly moving up and down. Therefore, if the opening time of the opening / closing wing piece is made longer at the time of probability fluctuation or the like, the interest of the player can be increased.
