In this conventional winning device, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, movable pieces 102, 102 are axially opposed to each other on the left and right of the surface of the mounting board 101, and the movable pieces 102, 102 are received below the mounting board 101. A continuous winning hole 103 for winning game balls and general winning holes 104, 104 are provided. Further, a solenoid 106 for actuating the movable pieces 102, 102 is provided on the back surface of the mounting substrate 101 via a link function 105. When the solenoid 106 is demagnetized, both movable pieces 102, 102 are in an upright state as shown by the solid line in FIG. When the solenoid 106 is excited, the movable pieces 102, 102 are tilted as shown by the chain line in the figure to convert the game ball into a second state in which the game ball is easily received and the game ball is continuously won. The prize is to be awarded to either 103 or the general winning opening 104, 104.

When the game ball wins the continuous winning opening 103, the movable piece 102, 102 is opened and closed by repeating for a predetermined number of times (for example, 0.7 seconds) a predetermined number of times (for example, 18 times), and further, The state in which the movable pieces 102, 102 can be converted a predetermined number of times is defined as one cycle, and the number of times this cycle is repeated is restricted to a fixed number (e.g., eight times).

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, in the above-described conventional winning device, when a winning is made to the continuous winning hole 103 during the above-mentioned cycle, the current cycle is interrupted at that point and a new cycle is started. Since the update is performed, the state in which the opening / closing operation of the movable pieces 102, 102 becomes less than the predetermined number of times defined as one cycle often occurs, which is disadvantageous to the player and sufficiently satisfies the interest of pachinko game. It has not arrived.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a winning device for a pachinko machine, which can improve the service to the player and can sufficiently enhance the interest of the pachinko game.
