The probability changing means 98 changes the occurrence probability of a special game (special game state) from the normal probability to the high probability when a predetermined probability changing condition is satisfied, and when the predetermined release condition is satisfied. Then, the occurrence probability is returned from the high probability to the normal probability. For example, the probability changing means 98 determines the special game state based on the lottery determination result of the display mode lottery determining means 97, that is, the type of the guiding symbol 23a (for example, an odd number symbol) when the changed guiding symbol 23a stops in the special mode. After the end of the game or at the start of the next game (including the point at which the game can be started), the occurrence probability of the special game (special game state) is changed from the normal probability to the high probability, and thereafter, a predetermined number of games elapses Or the guide symbol 23a changes a predetermined number of times to return to the normal probability.

Note that the probability varying means 98 increases the number of game lottery determination values when the probability is high. Further, the probability varying means 98 randomly selects a random number value for the probability varying random number under conditions other than the type of the guide symbol 23a, for example, on condition that the operating means 26a detects a game ball.
Whether or not to change the probability may be determined based on the random number value of the lottery.

The game information control means 92 controls the
In other normal cases, the game information display means 80 displays the theme of the game with characters, characters, and the like.
When there is a lottery determination result in the game lottery determination means 95, before the lottery determination result appears on the player side by the determination of the guide symbol 23a, a speculative and / or unique game is displayed on the game information display means 80. It is for displaying information, and in the case where the lottery determination result is a special game determination, and in the case of some non-predetermined game determinations among a plurality of types of non-predetermined game determinations, during the fluctuation of the guide symbol 23a For example, "big hit ??"
And the like, and if the lottery determination result is a special game determination, a unique game information indicating the occurrence of a special game state such as "big hit!"
If the lottery determination result is a non-special game determination, "Sorry!
! "And other unique game information.

In the case of a plurality of types of non-predetermined game determinations, if there is one or more types of reach determination on the display mode lottery determination means 97 side and many other types of non-reach determinations, It is desirable that the non-predetermined game determination of the section includes a part or all of the reach determination and a part of the out-of-reach determination. This means that, in addition to the special mode, a part or all of the non-special mode at the reach, or the non-special mode outside the reach, the game information display means 8
This is to cause 0 to display speculative and / or unique game information.

The game information for surely or definitely displaying the game state such as “big hit!” Or “sorry!” May be displayed immediately before the changed guide symbol 23a is fixed.
It may be displayed almost simultaneously with the determination of the guide symbol 32a or immediately after that. The game information may be displayed as a moving image, or may be displayed in a blinking manner in accordance with the displayed content or irrespective of the displayed content.

Further, when the lottery judgment result of the game lottery judging means 95 comes out, the game information may be displayed on the game information display means 80 for all of them. In that case, the lottery determination result is a special game determination, and, under the condition of some non-predetermined game determinations among a plurality of types of non-predetermined game determinations, game information that directly or indirectly suggests the occurrence of a special game state. It may be displayed, and another game information may be displayed on the condition of another non-predetermined game determination.

The winning display control means 83 is provided with the winning opening means 22.
For example, when a game ball wins in each of the winning openings 29, a winning display portion 70 of the winning display means 67 corresponding to the winning opening 29 or the like.
Is displayed as a prize. Settlement processing means 8
4 performs, based on a signal from the main control unit 82, a settlement process for calculating a score according to the success or failure of the winning combination during the game or every time the game is ended, and the score is displayed on the score display unit 69. ing.

The medal counting means 86 has a medal slot 49
For counting the regular medals inserted from,
The number of inserted medals is counted based on a signal from the medal detection switch 52. The deposit processing means 87 updates the deposited medal number by sequentially adding the inserted medals counted by the medal counting means 86 to the stored deposited medals, and for each game based on the instruction from the game selecting means 88. The defined medal number required for one game is subtracted from the deposited medal number to update the deposited medal number. Each time the deposited medal number is further updated, the actual deposited medal number at that time is displayed on the medal number display means 68. It is designed to be displayed.

The game selecting means 88 issues a command for one game or a continuous game to the deposit processing means 87, the firing control means 89, and other parts based on the selection result selected by the manual selection switch 71 and the automatic selection switch 72. For example, when the manual selection switch 71 is operated, a command for subtracting the number of medals for one game is operated for each operation. When the automatic selection switch 72 is operated, a command for one game is generated for each game. A command for sequentially subtracting the numbers is issued to cause the deposit processing means 87 to subtract a prescribed number from the deposited medal number before the start of the game.
When one is operated, a command for one game is issued by the firing control means 89.
In addition, when the automatic selection switch 72 is operated, a command for a continuous game is issued to the firing control means 89, respectively.

The firing control means 89 is for controlling the firing operation of the firing means 16 with a predetermined pause after each game, and the deposit processing means 87 performs a process of subtracting a prescribed number of medals. On condition that the player operates the firing handle 41 of the firing means 16 and that the player operates the firing means 16 based on a command from the game selecting means 88, a predetermined number (16) of game balls are fired. Until the player hits the game area 27.
Therefore, the control system is ready to start the game if more than a specified number of medals are inserted into the medal insertion slot 49.

The number of game balls hit into the game area 27 can be calculated by subtracting the number of foul balls from the number of shots on the firing means 16 side by providing hit number checking means. What is necessary is just to obtain from the number of game balls which won the prize port means 22, the specific prize means 24 and the like.

The payout control means 85 is provided with the settlement processing means 8
In the case where a score is given by the settlement process of 4, the medal payout means 12 is controlled during the game or after the game ends, and the medal in the medal hopper 6 is transferred to the medal tray 75 by the medal payout means 12 according to the score. And pay it out.

When the return switch 73 is operated, the return control means 90 causes the medal payout means 12 to pay out the medals corresponding to the number of deposited medals on condition that the deposited processing means 87 has the memorized number of deposited medals. It is for controlling to put out.

Next, the operation of the arrangement ball machine having the above configuration will be described. At the start of the game, a plurality of medals of a prescribed number or more required for one game are inserted into the medal insertion slot 49. Then, the medals are aligned in the medal insertion slot 49 and enter the medal selection means 17, and the medal selection means 17 determines whether or not the medal is correct. Only the medals fall through the medal shoot 10 to the medal hopper 6.

In this case, the medal detection switch 52 detects a regular medal, the medal counting means 86 counts the medal number, and the deposit processing means 87 adds and updates the medal number stored in the memorized deposited medal number. This enables the deposit processing means 87 to perform the medal subtraction processing based on the instruction of the game selection means 88, and the game can be started. When a medal is inserted, the number-of-medals display means 68 displays the number of deposited medals under the control of the deposited processing means 87. Therefore, the player can easily confirm the number of medals at that time by the display.

Next, when the manual selection switch 71 is operated,
The game selection means 88 sends a command for selecting one game to the deposit processing means 87, the launch control means 89, and other units, and the deposit processing means 87 performs a process of subtracting and updating a prescribed number from the deposited medal number. The launching means 16 is now ready to launch a game ball. The deposit processing means 87
Performs subtraction processing, the medal number display means 68 displays the number of deposited medals after the subtraction.

Thereafter, when the player grips and operates the firing handle 41, the firing control means 89 causes the game selecting means 8 to operate.
In response to a command from the player 8, the launching means 16 is operated, and the ball feeding means 48 supplies the game balls in the waiting passage 47 one by one to the launching rail 37, and hits the playing balls on the launching rail 37 with a hitting hammer 38. , And sequentially hits the game area 15 of the game board 15 via the guide rails 21, whereby a normal game proceeds.

The game ball hit into the game area 27 wins one of the winning openings 29 of the winning opening means 22 or wins the special winning means 24 or the like, and is guided to the back side of the game board 15. After that, it is sequentially returned to the waiting passage 47 through the ball collecting case 32. For example, the game ball is a winning opening means 22
When the player wins any one of the winning ports 29, the game ball is guided from the winning port 29 to the back side of the game board 15 and returned to the standby passage 47 via the ball collecting case 32. When a game ball passes from the winning opening 29 to the back side of the game board 15, the winning detection switch 30 detects the game ball, and under the control of the win display control means 83, the corresponding win of the win display means 67. The display unit 70 displays the winning.

When a game ball wins in four adjacent winning openings 29 of the winning openings 29 of the winning opening means 22 and a winning combination is established, the main control means 82 determines the establishment of the winning combination. The settlement processing unit 84 performs a settlement process for giving a score according to the difficulty level of the winning combination, and the score display unit 69 displays the score. Therefore, the player can easily confirm the score obtained in the game by the display of the score display means 69.

On the other hand, when a score is given, the medal payout means 12 is operated under the control of the payout control means 85, and the medal in the medal hopper 6 is transferred from the medal payout port 14 to the medal tray 75 according to the score. Pay out. Thereby, the player can enjoy a predetermined profit.
The maximum score per game is 10 points, and the number of paid out medals per point is four.

When the operating means 26a detects a winning of a game ball, the game lottery determination means 95 sets the game lottery random number generation means 94.
Is determined by lottery, and it is determined from the random number value whether or not to make a special game.
Starts the fluctuation of the guide symbol 23a of the guide symbol display means 23. When the result of the lottery determination by the game lottery determination means 95 is internally determined, for example, when the result of the lottery determination is part of the special game determination or the non-special game determination, the game information control means 92 controls the game information. The display means 80 displays speculative game information such as "big hit ??" while the guide symbol 23a fluctuates. Then, the display information of the game information display means 80 indicates "big hit?"
? "To" big hit !! ", and to" sorry !! "in the case of a non-special game determination.

Therefore, when speculative game information such as "big hit ??" is displayed on the game information display means 80, the player's expectation of the special mode during the game, the occurrence of the special game state, and the like increases. As a result, the interest of the player can be improved. Game information display means 8
Since 0 indicates game information such as "big hit ??" before the guide symbol 23a is stopped, the display of the game information allows advance notice of a special mode, occurrence of a special game state, and the like.

Further, since the game information display means 80 displays the game information on the condition of the special game judgment and a part of the non-special game judgment among all the lottery judgment results, the game information display means 80 displays "big hit?" ? "Etc. is displayed,
The guide symbol 23a after the change is not always in the special mode, and may be stopped in a non-special mode. Therefore, it is the same as in the related art that the lottery determination result is definitely notified to the player by stopping the guide symbol 23a. This does not impair the significance of the guide symbol 23a.

The guide symbol 23a of the guide symbol display means 23
After a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the fluctuation, based on the lottery determination result of the game lottery determination means 95, in the case of a special game determination, an even symbol such as "2.2.2" or "7 / 7.7" Is a special mode with an odd number symbol, and "7"
The display mode lottery determination means 97 lottery-determines the type of the guide symbol 23a after the change so as to be a non-special game other than "7.7". Then, after the guide symbol control means 91 changes the guide symbol 23a for a predetermined time, the changed guide symbol 23a is stopped in a predetermined type of special mode or non-special mode based on the lottery determination result.

When the guide symbol 23a is stopped and fixed in a special mode, the opening / closing body 24a of the specific winning means 24 is opened. When the game ball that has won the specific prize means 24 passes through the guide increase device operating area 24b therein, the guide increase device 96 constituting the special game state generating means 99 operates, and the operating means 26b becomes effective. , This operating means 26b
Each time a game ball wins, the score increasing means 25 is opened for a predetermined time. When a game ball is won in the score increasing means 25, the settlement processing means 84 performs processing to double the score obtained during the game, and the medal payout means 12 pays out medals according to the score. This allows the player
The game can be played in an advantageous state.

If the result of the lottery determination is a special game, the valid state of the operating means 26b is continued until 14 games are completed from that game. For this reason, the score is doubled over the 14 games, and once in the special game state, the player can enjoy great profit thereafter.

On the other hand, if the game determination result is a special game, the display mode lottery determination means 97 randomly selects a special mode type random number and changes the type of the special mode of the changed guide symbol 23a (for example, “2.2.2. "And an odd symbol such as" 7 / 7.7 "), and the probability varying means 98 operates based on the lottery determination result. Then, when the lottery determination result is an odd symbol determination, the guide symbol 23a after the fluctuation of the guide symbol display means 23 stops at an odd symbol such as “7.7.7”, and the special game state generated by this stops. After the end or at the start of the next game, the probability changing means 98 changes the probability of occurrence of a special game (special game state) from a normal probability of about 1/125 to a high probability of about 1/25, for example.

[0082] Therefore, the possibility of the special game state being increased again is very high, and the player can enjoy the benefit of the probability variation in addition to the benefit of the increase in the score. Can be improved.

If the probability is changed to a high probability after the end of the special game state, the player will enjoy the benefit of the probability change following the special game state.
When the probability is changed from the start time of the next game to a high probability, the player can simultaneously enjoy the profit from the special game state and the profit from the probability change.

After the probability has changed to a high probability, if the predetermined release condition is satisfied again, the probability changing means 98 returns the occurrence probability of the special game (special game state) from the high probability to the normal probability.

When 16 game balls are hit into the game area 27, the firing means 16 stops under the control of the firing control means 89, one game is completed, and the game is suspended for a predetermined time until the next game. Therefore, during the idle time, the manual selection switch 71
Is operated, the game selecting means 88, the deposit processing means 87
And the like function similarly, but the firing means 16 does not operate immediately, but operates after the elapse of the pause time to start firing game balls.

When the automatic selection switch 72 is operated, as long as the number of deposited medals is equal to or more than the prescribed number required for one game, the deposit processing means 87 performs a process of subtracting the prescribed number of medals for each game and fires. The means 16 drives a predetermined number of game balls into the game area 27 for each game. Therefore,
By simply operating the firing handle 41, the player can automatically and continuously play a game with a predetermined pause time.

When the return switch 73 is operated, the medal payout means 12 is operated and the medal hopper 6 is controlled by the return control means 90 on condition that the deposit processing means 87 stores the number of deposited medals. Pays out medals corresponding to the number of deposited medals to the medal tray 75.
