Game machine

Abstract

To provide a game machine capable of enhancing interest in a game.SOLUTION: A game machine is configured so as to be capable of moving a return rubber 69a from a normal position 57a to a projecting position 57c. Then the game machine is configured such that game balls shot rightward can flow down a right section of a game area when the return rubber 69a is positioned in the normal position 57a, and game balls shot rightward cannot flow down the right section of the game area and flow down a left section of the game area when the return rubber 69a is positioned in the projecting position 57c. The game machine is also configured such that the return rubber 69a is positioned in the projecting position 57c in a "normal game state", and the return rubber 69a is positioned in the normal position 57a as a predetermined place in a "big win game state", a "small win game state", or a "time-shortening state".SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4

Claims

[Claim 1] a launching means capable of launching game balls at different launch intensities; a predetermined flow path through which the game balls shot at the first shooting intensity by the shooting means can flow; a first ball entry means through which the game ball that has flowed down the predetermined flow path can enter; A first game value is awarded when a game ball enters the first ball entry means, a collision member with which the game ball launched by the launching means at a second launch intensity stronger than the first launch intensity can collide; A specific flow path through which at least some of the game balls launched at the second launch intensity can flow; A second ball entry means into which the game ball that has flowed down the specific flow path can enter, A second game value is awarded when a game ball enters the second ball entry means, The device is configured to display at least a first game status and a second game status different from the first game status, A gaming machine configured so that when a gaming ball is launched at the second launch intensity in the second gaming situation, it can be more advantageous to a player than when a gaming ball is launched at the second launch intensity in the first gaming situation, The device is configured to be able to execute movement control for moving the position of the collision member to a first position where it is possible to cause the game ball to flow down into the specific flow path, and a second position which is different from the first position and where it is not possible to cause the game ball to flow down into the specific flow path, The collision member can be controlled to move so that the collision member is more likely to be located at the second position under the first gaming situation than under the second gaming situation, the movement control is configured to be able to execute at least a first movement control of moving the collision member from the first position toward the second position, passing through a third position that is a predetermined position between the first position and the second position, and a second movement control of moving the collision member from the second position toward the first position, passing through the third position; The gaming machine includes: In a situation where the collision member is moving from the first position toward the second position through the third position by the first movement control, when a game ball reaches the collision member, the collision member can be moved in a manner that prevents the game ball from flowing down into the specific flow path, In a situation where the collision member is moving from the second position toward the first position through the third position by the second movement control, when a game ball reaches the collision member, the collision member can be moved in a manner that allows the game ball to flow down into the specific flow path.
