In step 1-7, the normal rally game start process is executed, and the process proceeds to steps S1-8. In the normal rally game start process, the normal rally game is started.
The "normal rally game" is a table tennis game executed in a state where the position of the movable net 130 is fixed.
Here, the player borrows a racket and a ball from the operator to play a table tennis game. The player may play the table tennis game using his / her own racket.
Specifically, the control board 400 has a score counter A corresponding to one player (score button 110a) among the players (each team) facing each other with the housing 110 (playfield board 120) sandwiched between them, and the other A score counter B corresponding to the player (score button 110b) is provided. Then, in the normal rally game start process, a predetermined initial value (“0” in the present embodiment) is set as the value of each of the score counters A and B. In addition, the measurement of the game time by the game time timer is started. Further, the display unit 220 starts displaying the normal rally game image. The "normal rally game image" is an image that notifies the values of the score counters A and B.

In steps S1-8, it is determined whether or not the game time measured by the game time timer has reached the predetermined upper limit time, and if it is determined that the game time has not reached the predetermined upper limit time (No), step S1-8. When the game proceeds to S1-9 and it is determined that the game time has reached the predetermined upper limit time (Yes), the process proceeds to steps S1-23.

In step S1-10, the score update process is executed, and the process proceeds to step S1-11. In the score update process, "1" is added to the score counters A and B corresponding to the score buttons 110a and 110b in which the pressing operation is detected. In addition, the movable net 130 is moved by driving the motor 161 so as to be advantageous to the scoring player. That is, the movable net 130 is moved so that the play area in which the hit ball of the scored player bounces becomes wider in the play areas f1 and f2. At this time, the moving direction and the moving amount of the movable net 130 are determined according to the score of the player.
In step S1-10, the movable net 130 may be moved so as to be disadvantageous to the scoring player. That is, the movable net 130 may be moved so that the play area in which the scored player's hit ball bounces is narrowed in the play areas f1 and f2.
In step S1-11, it is determined whether or not the values of the score counters A and B updated in step S1-10 have reached the first predetermined value (5 [points] in this embodiment), and the values are updated. When it is determined that the values of the score counters A and B have reached the first predetermined value (Yes), the process proceeds to step S1-12, and the updated values of the score counters A and B reach the first predetermined value. If it is determined that the item is not (No), the process proceeds to steps S1-8.

Further, the measurement period ends when any of the voltage integrated values A and the voltage integrated values B reaches a predetermined value or a predetermined time elapses from the start of the measurement period. Then, when the measurement period ends when any of the integrated voltage values A and B reaches a predetermined value, the integrated voltage A and the integrated voltage B are predetermined. The player corresponding to the voltage integrated value that has reached the value is the winner, and the player corresponding to the voltage integrated value that has not reached the predetermined value is the loser. On the other hand, when the measurement period ends according to the elapse of a predetermined time from the start of the measurement period, the player corresponding to the larger value of the voltage integrated value A and the voltage integrated value B is considered to be the winner and is smaller. The player corresponding to the value is considered the loser. Further, the drive of the motor 161 moves the movable net 130 in favor of the winning player.
