Conventionally, in a ball game machine that plays a game by popping a pachinko ball, for example, in a pachinko game machine, when a specific game state is reached, a variable winning prize ball device provided on the game board is opened for a certain period of time and a large amount No. of prize balls have been provided to the market to give the player many prize balls. In such a pachinko gaming machine, when a specific gaming state is reached, the variable winning prize ball device is set for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds).
Is opened until the earliest period of the period or the period until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of prize balls are generated, and provided during the opening, inside the variable prize ball device. When the hit ball wins the V winning opening, the above-described open state is repeated again, and the repetitive operation is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 10 times) on condition that the winning in the V winning opening occurs. By controlling in this way, a game value is imparted to all players fairly.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

By the way, in the above-mentioned pachinko gaming machines, the number of winnings in one opening is controlled by a predetermined time or a predetermined number of times, but in each case, only the number of winnings to the variable winning ball device is controlled, and the number of winnings is controlled. Since the number of hit balls hit is not controlled in order to obtain, the fact that the player has entered the specific game state does not mean that all players will obtain the same number of prize balls. Therefore, one in which most of the balls hit into the game board are nailed so as to face the variable winning ball device, and one in which the balls hit into the game board are properly nailed so as to face the variable winning ball device. As a result, there is a large difference in the number of acquisitions until the number reaches the predetermined number, and there is a problem that the original purpose of fair distribution of game value to the player cannot be achieved. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-described object, and an object of the present invention is to provide a ball-and-ball game machine capable of reliably distributing a game value to players in a fair manner.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, a ball-and-ball game machine according to the present invention is provided on a game board and has a first advantage which is advantageous to a player.
And a variable winning ball device that can be changed to a second state that is disadvantageous to the player, and that the gaming state is set so that the variable winning ball device can be changed to the first state for a certain period of time. A specific game state detecting means for detecting the condition, a repetition condition detecting means for detecting a condition determined so that the variable winning ball device can be repeatedly brought into the first state after the output of the specific game state detecting means, Profit ball calculating means for calculating the number of profit balls to be profitable, disadvantageous ball calculation means for calculating the number of disadvantageous balls to be disadvantageous for the player, after the output of the specific game state detecting means, the profit ball calculation Means for calculating the difference between the number of profitable balls calculated by the means and the number of disadvantageous balls calculated by the disadvantageous ball calculation means; the variable winning sphere according to the output of the specific game state detection means Driving means for driving the variable winning ball device to the first state for a certain period of time based on the output of the repetition condition detecting means within the certain period, and A deactivating unit configured to deactivate the repetitive drive control unit based on the calculation unit having calculated a predetermined difference number regardless of the number of outputs of the repetitive drive control unit output. Things.

[Action]

In the specific game state, the difference between the profit ball and the disadvantage ball calculated by the profit ball calculation means and the disadvantage ball calculation means is calculated by the calculation means, and the difference number is determined by a predetermined number. When this happens, the drive control means is repeatedly deactivated to bring the variable winning ball device into the second state.
For this reason, if the player obtains substantially the same prize ball as a whole regardless of the number of winnings and the number of hits in one first state, the specific game state ends. . However, even when the repetition condition is not satisfied before the difference between the number of profitable balls and the number of disadvantageous balls reaches the predetermined number, the specific game state ends.
