  In the above-described embodiment, the slot game is displayed on the monitor 47, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a slot game may be displayed on the ball B. FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating a ball B displaying a specific game. Each reel of the slot game is displayed on each of the three balls B on the game field GF shown on the left side of FIG. For example, such a slot game may be executed on condition that three balls B are arranged in a horizontal row. Alternatively, a reel may be displayed on each of the plurality of balls B arranged at appropriate positions. When each reel is stopped and, for example, three level-up pictures are collected and the winning combination for level-up is won, the value of the ball B displaying each reel becomes the medal ball B, and the number of supplied medals increases. Note that the balls B whose values are changed may not be targeted for all the balls B, the value of the ball B having the lowest value may be increased, or a ball whose value is changed may be given to the player. It may be selected. Alternatively, one reel may be displayed on one ball B, and the value of the ball B may be selected by lottery. If any value is drawn by lottery, the value may be displayed on the ball B as it is.

  The specific game may be a participation game in which a plurality of players executed in cooperation with each station unit ST of the game machine 3 can participate. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a change in the value of the ball when a battle game is executed as a specific game. In the competitive game, the start of the game is notified to the monitor 47 of each station unit ST at a predetermined timing, and the player who wants to participate makes a participation application. As the battle game, for example, a game for competing for the number of medals M acquired within the time limit as the battle game is executed. In each station unit ST, the number of medals acquired within the time limit is counted and recorded. When the time limit expires, the number of medals M acquired by each station unit ST is compared to determine the winner. A privilege is given to the player who becomes the winner. For example, any ball B on the winner's game field GF is changed to a chance ball B.

  The game is not limited to a battle game, and a cooperation game that clears a given mission in cooperation with a player of another station unit ST may be executed. In this case, when the mission is cleared, a privilege is given to the player who participated in the cooperative game. As a privilege, for example, any ball B on the game field GF of each player is changed to a chance ball B3. The participation type game is executed on the game field GF, for example, in addition to a game for competing for the number of medals M acquired within the time limit, competing for the number of acquired balls B, the number of medals M entering the checker 46, and the like. Physical game played. Further, the game may not be a physical game but may be a video game displayed on the monitor 47. In the case of a video game, an appropriate game is executed on the monitor 47 of each station unit ST, and each player competes or cooperates to play the game. Such a participation type game may be executed in the center unit CN. It attracts the player's attention and becomes a motivation to continue the game.

  As a specific game, a physical game using the game field GF may be used. For example, the table 42 may be divided into a plurality of areas, and when a specific ball B enters the divided area, the value of the specific ball B may be changed according to the entered area. The value of the specific ball B that has entered the chance ball area may be changed to the chance ball B3. Such an area is projected on the game field GF by the projector 49.

  The specific game described above is executed by the game execution unit 57, and the game result is acquired by the result acquisition unit 59. Then, the value change unit 60 changes the value of the ball based on the game result. Even when the above-described specific game is executed, the processes of steps S4 to S7 in FIG. 8 may be executed in the same manner. The winning combination and privilege of a specific game may be recorded in the winning combination data 56, and the value of the ball B of the player may be changed according to the game result.

  Further, the value of the ball B may be changed based on the time information. For example, with reference to the play data 55 of the player, a change such as leveling up the value of the ball B in the time zone may be made based on statistics of the time zone in which the player plays. By changing the value of the ball B in a time zone in which the player often plays or in a time zone in which the player does not play, motivation for the game play of the player can be given. Further, the value of the ball B may be increased in the time zone when the store 6 wants to call the player. The time information is information related to time such as a time zone for changing the value, date and time, day of the week, and the like.

  The detection means for detecting the ball B on the game field GF has been described with the ball detection sensor 48, but is not limited thereto. For example, an imaging means for imaging the game field GF, for example, a camera or the like may be installed above the game field GF, and the position of the ball B may be detected based on the captured image. A known image processing technique may be used for detecting the position of the ball B.
