Then, the calculation result signal indicating the calculation result is output to the image generation unit 51. This movement amount calculation unit 54
In the present embodiment, functions as a calculator that calculates the amount of movement of an object composed of polygonal polygons.

Here, when the coordinate group of a specific symbol (for example, a tree, a person, etc.) constructed by polygon data is A, the movement amount calculated by the movement amount calculation unit 54 can be expressed as ΔA. Therefore, the image generator 51
A moving image in which the coordinate group A of the specific symbol constructed by the polygon data is divided by the movement amount ΔA is generated.

The image generation unit 51, to which the calculation result signal is input from the movement amount calculation unit 54, sequentially deforms the previously formed object A using the movement amount ΔA corresponding to the input calculation result signal, and The transformed object is displayed on the display unit 53. The image generation unit 51 may add color to the formed object A using the color data stored in the image data storage unit 52.

Are various sensors 11a to 11c, 11e, 1
Each signal input from 1 g is detected, and a detection signal indicating the detection is output to the counting unit 13.

Then, the counting unit 13 includes various sensors 1
A step of counting the number of game balls that have passed 1a to 11c, 11e, and 11g is performed. Specifically, the count unit 13 to which the detection signal is input from the detection unit 12 counts the number of game balls based on the input detection signal, and outputs the counted number to the main control unit 21 as a count signal. The number of game balls can be specified by counting the number of detection signals.

After that, the count unit 13 has various sensors 11a to 11c, 11e, 1 for at least two or more game balls.
The step of measuring the time interval until passing 1 g is performed. Specifically, the count unit 13 to which the plurality of detection signals are input from the detection unit 12 is a time interval between the first input detection signal and the next input detection signal (the time interval between the game balls). ) Is measured and the measured time interval is output to the main controller 21 as a passage interval signal.

Next, when the start winning ball sensor 11d cannot detect the passage of the game ball, the main control section 21 detects a moving image when the first detecting means can detect the passage of the game ball. The step of switching the display mode of the image is performed. In addition, when the start winning ball sensor 11d can detect the passage of the game ball, the main control unit 21 detects the moving image when the first detecting means can detect the passage of the game ball. You may perform the step which switches a display mode.

That is, the main control unit 21, if the start winning ball sensor 11d cannot detect the passage of the game ball, the number of game balls measured by the counting unit 13, or the time between each game ball.

Specifically, the main control section 21 to which the count signal or the passage interval signal is input from the counting section 13 is
When the start winning ball sensor 11d cannot detect the passage of the game ball, it outputs a command signal corresponding to the count signal or the passage interval signal based on the input count signal or the passage interval signal.

That is, the main control section 21 makes a selection for selecting a specific display mode (for example, a specific character motion pattern) to be displayed on the display section 53, based on the input count signal or the passing interval signal. A command signal is output to the command generation unit 22, and a sound generation command signal for generating a specific sound (for example, fanfare sound) and the game ball are various sensors 11a to 11c, 11.
In association with passing e and 11g, a prize ball command signal for winning a predetermined number of game balls is output to the voice control unit 31 and the prize ball control unit 41, respectively.

Then, the command generation section 22 to which the selection command signal is input from the main control section 21 determines the effect contents corresponding to the selection command signal based on the input selection command signal. In this embodiment, the selection command signal is

Further, the prize ball control unit 41 to which the prize ball command signal is input from the main controller 21 is for performing the prize ball corresponding to the prize ball command signal based on the input prize ball command signal. The operation signal is output to the prize ball device 42.

For example, the main control unit 21 causes the detection unit 12 to
Based on the detection signal input from the various sensors 11a
It is determined which of the sensors 11a to 11d the game ball has passed through, and the type of prize ball command signal is changed according to the determination result. Then, the prize ball control unit 41 performs a prize ball of the game ball corresponding to the prize ball command signal, based on various prize ball command signals input from the main control unit 21. Here, the types of award ball command signals include five award balls of game balls,
