Next, the movement of the game ball a due to the configuration of the warp passage 90 and the center accessory 80 according to the present embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIG. 3, when the game ball a launched into the game area 1 a enters the first winning opening 31, the game ball a is guided through the first warp passage 91 into the center accessory 80.

  When the game ball a is guided into the center object 80, the first game ball outlet 83 of the first warp passage 91 is formed to open upward, and the movable piece 93a of the tilt angle changing device 93 is directed upward and first. Since the two warp passages 92 are arranged in an inclined state, the position of the game ball a due to the height difference between the first winning port 31 that is the entrance of the first warp passage 91 and the first game ball exit 83 that is the exit. Due to the energy, the game ball a jumps obliquely upward from the first game ball outlet 83 toward the second warp passage 92 side.

  The game ball a that has jumped out moves in the space toward the second game ball introduction portion 92 a of the second warp passage 92. A path for moving the space of the game ball a (hereinafter referred to as a space movement path) is formed in a parabolic shape and passes through the front side of the display 24.

  The space movement path of the game ball a is determined within a range in which the movable piece 93a swings at a predetermined angle. That is, the space moving path of the game ball a changes the shape of the parabola drawn by the game ball a toward the second warp passage 92 depending on the position of the movable piece 93a when the game ball a jumps out.

  In addition, since the windmill 96a is disposed on the space movement path of the game ball a before the game ball a reaches the second warp passage 92, the game ball a rebounds and the space movement path of the game ball a changes. . In addition, since the shape of the parabola drawn by the game ball a changes, the direction in which the game ball a bounces is dispersed.

  In this embodiment, since the windmill 96a rotates clockwise, even if the game ball a collides with the windmill 96a, it almost bounces to the right side of the windmill 96a and goes in the direction of the center winning opening 82. It has become. On the other hand, when the game ball a jumps over the windmill 96a and goes to the left side of the windmill 96a, the game ball a may come off from the second warp passage 92 and jump out of the center accessory 80.

  With the configuration as described above, according to the present embodiment, the operation of the game ball a can be made surprising in the center accessory 80, and the player can be bored by enhancing the gameability by visual change. The game progress can be promoted without making it happen.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, by providing the inclination angle changing device 93 near the first game ball outlet 83 of the first warp passage 91, the angle at which the game ball a jumping out from the first game ball outlet 83 is changed. Can be made.

  Note that the angle at which the game ball a is popped out by the tilt angle changing device 93 can be set in any way by the operation control of the tilt angle changing device 93. For example, when a predetermined condition such as the number of game balls launched and the time elapsed since the start of the game is satisfied, the game ball a is easily placed on the right side of the windmill 96a so as to easily enter the center winning opening 82. The space movement path of the game ball a can be set.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the windmill 96a is provided on the space movement path between the first warp passage 91 and the second warp passage 92, and the parabola drawn by the game ball a toward the second warp passage 92 is provided. Since the shape can be changed, the direction in which the game ball a jumps when the game ball a collides with the windmill 96a can be dispersed. As a result, the space movement path of the game ball a changes, so that it is possible to further improve the game performance.

  In the present embodiment, the windmill 96a can be rotated by disconnecting the connection between the windmill 96a and the rotating body driving motor 96b. In this case, since the windmill 96a is freely rotatable, the change in the spatial movement path of the game ball a varies depending on how the game ball a hits, and the rotational speed of the windmill 96a changes visually. Can be increased.

  Furthermore, it is easy to control the rotational direction and rotational speed of the windmill 96a and attach / detach the drive transmission based on output signals from other sensors and operation programs.

  In the present embodiment, the rotating body 96 is employed as the path direction changing means for the game ball a to change the game ball path. However, the present invention is not limited to this, for example, Alternatively, a movable piece that is movable in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction on the game ball path may be provided to change the game ball path.
