BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  The present invention relates to a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine, and more particularly to a ball game machine including a screen display device that displays a moving image on a screen.
[0002]
[Prior art]
  As a recent ball ball game machine, a liquid crystal display or the like is generally used as a screen, and when the screen is in a specific display mode, a specific game state advantageous to the player is generally used. The game content of such a ball game machine will be described in detail. When a game ball launched on the game board enters a specific winning slot or a winning slot, the image on the liquid crystal screen starts changing and stops after a predetermined time has elapsed. To do. Here, when the stopped symbol displays a predetermined specific symbol, for example, the same three-digit symbol such as “777”, the specific gaming state is set. In this special game state as a big hit, a big prize opening called an attacker is opened for a certain period of time (usually within about 30 seconds) or until a predetermined number (usually 10) of game balls have entered, during which time When the game ball passes through the specific area, the game ball is closed once and then opened again for 16 times at maximum. Usually, 15 game balls are paid out to the player as prize balls for one game ball, so a maximum of 2400 (10 × 15 × 16) can be obtained by one big hit.Pieces)You can get a certain amount of game balls.
  The image processing of the symbol displayed on the screen is generally configured so that the screen is divided into three and the symbols are sequentially displayed in a variable manner in each display window. Some are configured to display and unfold the race. As described above, when a specific screen such as a specific symbol is displayed after the change is stopped, the special gaming state is set.
  In general, if a random number extracted when a game ball enters or passes a specific winning opening is a predetermined value, a specific screen is forcibly displayed. It is configured. The random number is generally configured as a variable that is incremented after a lapse of a minute time and repeatedly creates a value in a certain range. Therefore, the entity of this random number is grasped as the timing at which the game ball enters the specific winning opening or passes the specific passing opening.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
  The bullet ball game machine described above is in a special gaming state when a specific symbol is displayed on the screen, and a large amount of prize balls can be obtained. There was a problem that the game was monotonous only because it was simply dedicated to entering the specific winning a prize ball or passing the specific passing hole. In order to solve such a problem, a so-called display of a non-specific symbol is displayed and a specific symbol is displayed after a few seconds. Inventions that make tricks have also been made. However, even in such a ball game machine, the factor that causes the special game state is the timing at which the game ball enters or passes through the specific winning opening, and the game is monotonous with little player skill intervention. There is no change. In order to solve this problem, a so-called TV game element is incorporated into a pachinko machine, and a video game of a TV game is displayed on the screen so that a special game state is generated if the video achieves a certain purpose. Is also possible. However, in order to achieve a certain purpose for the moving image, there has been a problem that operation means such as a joystick or a fire button for moving the moving image operated by the player is required, and the configuration becomes complicated. In addition, the problem of how to relate the game characteristics of a TV game to the game characteristics of a pachinko game was also considered. For this reason, the so-called TV game element cannot be incorporated into the pachinko gaming machine. As a result, there are many phenomena that players are bored with games. This may eventually lead to a situation where the ball game machine is away from the customer.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
  In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a ball game machine according to claim 1 is provided., PlayEach time a game ball in the technique area enters the start port (24), the video of the video display unit (23a, 53a) is changed and then the video is stopped. A ball game machine that shifts to a jackpot process as a special game state that opens the big prize opening (25), and the random number (RN) is a value that the game ball launched on the game board surface enters the start opening (24). The winning point (PN) is selected so as to indicate the degree of development of the story in the movie by a numerical value, and is selected according to the random value (RN). The points (P) are grouped, the point (P) corresponding to the random number value (RN) is selected, and the selected point (P) is added to the previous acquired point (PN) to obtain a new acquired point ( PN) and the new catch In accordance with the points (PN), the moving image screen that has progressed from the previous screen is continuously displayed on the moving image display unit, the acquired points (PN) are displayed on the screen (23b, 53b), and the moving image display unit (23a, 53a) is displayed. As the main character partner of the video screen to be displayed, after the jackpot processing is finished and the jackpot processing is finished, the partner of the image better than the previous time is displayed, and on the other hand, when it is determined that it is not a jackpot, When the value is smaller than the predetermined value, it is set to display a partner having an image inferior to the previous time.

However, a game ball launched on the surface of the game board 12 is provided on the back side of the game board 12. The game ball is caused to flow down below the back surface of the game board 12 through the assembled board, and when a winning ball state occurs, the gaming ball in the prize ball tank flows down to the upper tray 14 or the lower tray 16. These controls are executed by an electronic control board 20 (not shown) on the back side of the gaming machine main body. Even if it is fired on the surface of the game board 12, if it reaches the bottom outlet of the game board 12, it will not be awarded.
[0010]
  As shown in FIG. 2, a liquid crystal screen 23 composed of a liquid crystal display body is provided at the center of the game board 12, a normal electric accessory 24 as a starting port is provided directly below, and a so-called attacker and A large winning opening 25 called and other winning openings (entrance entrances) 26 to 28 are assembled. The starting port 24 is normally configured to have a pitch of about 13 mm, which is the same as the other winning ports 26 to 28, but is about 55 mm when opened. In addition, the game winning ball 25 cannot enter when closed, but is configured to have a pitch of about 90 mm when opened, and has a specific area inside. On the surface of the game board 12, various accessories such as other winning holes not shown, obstacle nails, windmills, and lamp windmills are provided.
[0011]
  On the back side of the ball game machine 10, the electronic control board 20 that controls the progress of the game of the game machine is detachably attached to a known mechanism board.
  As shown in FIG. 3, the electronic control board 20 is configured as a logic operation circuit centered on a CPU 20a, a ROM 20b, and a RAM 20c, and various counters 20d used for timing and random number generation are also prepared.
  On the external input side of the electronic control board 20, the entrance sensor 24a detects that a game ball has entered the start port 24, and detects that a game ball has entered the grand prize port 25. Various types of entrance sensors 25a, entrance sensors 25b for detecting that a game ball has passed through a specific area in the grand prize opening 25, and other entrances for detecting that a game ball has entered the winning holes 26 to 28, etc. A ball sensor (see FIG. 3), the touch switch 18a described above, and the like are connected.
  On the external output side of the electronic control board 20, a liquid crystal display control device 30 for displaying moving images on the liquid crystal screen 23, solenoids 31 and 32 for opening the start opening 24 and the big prize opening 25, and a mechanism board are provided. A prize ball device 33 (not shown) for playing a prize ball when a ball state occurs, various lamps 34 on the surface of the game board 12, a speaker 35 for generating a sound effect, and the like are connected. The liquid crystal display control device 30 is a logical operation circuit mainly composed of a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like. The ROM stores various image data such as moving image (video) symbols in addition to the CPU execution program. Yes.
[0012]
  As shown in FIG. 4, the liquid crystal screen 23 includes a moving image display unit 23 a that displays a moving image, and an acquisition point P that will be described later according to the moving image modeNAnd damage DNIs divided into a message display unit 23b for displaying the message. The moving picture display unit 23a displays various fighting scenes in which the enemy EN who is the opponent changes, which will be described in detail later, and displays fighting scenes in which the main character HI fights the enemy EN. Furthermore, a hold storage display unit 23c divided into four is provided at the right end of the moving image display unit 23a. The reserved storage display unit 23c is the same as the conventional technology, and the game ball is displayed during the big hit as a special game state in which the symbol variably displayed on the moving image display unit 23a is fluctuating or the special winning opening 25 is opened. It memorizes that the ball has entered the starting port 24, and a maximum of four are memorized. If there is a memory, the symbols on the moving image display unit 23a are variably displayed again according to the number of memories after the symbol variation is stopped or the big hit operation is completed.
[0013]
  Next, the process of the specific example 1 will be described based on the “image display process” shown in FIG. 5 and the correspondence chart of the random number values shown in FIG. The process shown in FIG. 5 is periodically executed by a technique such as a hardware interrupt, and shows one of the processes executed by the CPU 20a of the electronic control board 20.
  When the processing executed by the CPU 20a of the electronic control board 20 shifts to this routine, first the random value RNIs stored (step S100). Random value RN isThe random value R when the game ball launched on the surface of the game board 12 enters the start port 24NYes, as described above, a maximum of five items are stored, including the reserved storage. Random value RNIn this specific example, this is a counter value that is incremented by 1 every minute of 2.048 ms and repeatedly creates numerical values from 0 to 249 in ascending order, and is generated by the counter 20d of the electronic control board 20. Since the game balls launched on the surface of the game board 12 are guided or bounced by obstacle nails or the like (not shown) and some of the launched game balls enter the start port 24, the random number RNEven if has created a periodic value, the value stored when entering the ball acts as a random number.
[0014]
  Random value RN6 are classified into 26 groups according to their possible values, as shown in FIG. Then, 25 points P and damage D of groups 1 to 25 excluding group 0 are selected. Incidentally, the group 1 shown in FIG.N'sNine values from “0” to “9” excluding “1” belong. The other groups 2 to 25 each have 10 random values RNBelongs to. In the case of group 0, that is, the random value RN is"1"ofThe time is a big hit (step S110).
  When it is not a big hit, the previous acquisition point PNRandom value RNThe corresponding point P shown in FIG. 6 is added, and the damage D is subtracted to obtain a new acquired point P.NUpdate process and previous damage DNAdd damage D to new damage DNThe update process is performed (step S120).
  In the subsequent steps S130 to S150, the added and subtracted point PNIs 1 or more and less than 100, damage DNIs less than 100. Point PNIs 1 or more and less than 100 and damage DNIf it is determined that is less than 100, the updated point PNAnd damage DNThe fighting scene corresponding to is displayed as a moving image on the liquid crystal screen 23 for a predetermined time (step S160). Next, the process performed in step S160 will be described.
[0015]
  As shown in FIG. 4, in the moving image display portion 23a of the liquid crystal screen 23, a battle scene between the enemy EN and the main character HI is a random value R.NA moving image is displayed according to the value of the point P and the damage D selected according to the above. In this specific example, when the value of the point P and the damage D is “1”, the punch to the opponent's body, when the value is “2”, the punch to the opponent's face, and when the value is “3”, to the opponent A front kick is set as a kick kick when the value is “4” and a knee kick toward the back of the head when the value is “5”. In the case of point P, the hero's HI attack is applied to the enemy EN. Conversely, in the case of damage D, the hero HI is attacked by the enemy EN. For example, the random value RN isIf it is “21”, it belongs to the group 3, the point P is “5”, and the damage D is “3”, so that the main character HI kicks the knee toward the back of the head to the enemy EN in the video display unit 23a. After adding, the scene where the enemy EN receives a front kick is displayed. And this point P and damageDFrom the processing of step S120, the current earned point PNAnd current damage DNIs calculated. This calculated current acquisition point PNAnd current damage DNIs displayed on the message display unit 23b. In this specific example, this fighting scene is variably displayed as a moving image for 20 to 30 seconds after the game ball has entered the start opening 24 and detected that the ball has been entered by the entrance sensor 24a, and then is in a static display state. It is said. Through the processing from step S100 to step S160, the moving picture display unit 23a of the liquid crystal screen 23 has a random value R.NCorrespondinglyDepending on the updated acquisition points PN and damage DNThe fighting scene is displayed as a video, continuing from the previous fighting scene, and the random value RNDepending on the previous acquisition point PNAnd damage DNThe value of is the current acquisition point PNAnd damage DNAs updated.
[0016]
  Meanwhile, in the step S130, the updated earned points PNIf it is determined that is 100 or more, earned points PNA process of forcibly setting “80” and displaying a moving image that receives several consecutive attacks from the enemy EN is displayed (step S180). At this time, damage DNWhen the value of is not more than “1” and less than “100”, processing is appropriately corrected so as to fall within this range.
  In step S140, the acquired acquisition points P are updated.N isIf it is determined that it is less than or equal to zero, the acquired points PNA process of forcibly setting “20” and displaying a moving image for adding several consecutive attacks to the enemy EN is displayed (step S200). At this time, damage DNWhen the value of is not more than “1” and less than “100”, processing is appropriately corrected so as to fall within this range.
  In step S150, the updated damage DNIf it is determined that the value of 100 is 100 or more, the main character HI displays a scene to escape by receiving a violent attack from the enemy EN, and performs a process of displaying it statically in a scene facing the next opponent ( Step S210). In addition, in the scene facing this next opponent, earned points PNAnd damage DNAre set to “50” as initial values.
[0017]
  By the way, when it is determined in step S110 that it is a big hit, the acquired points PNThe scene where the main character HI applies a continuous attack to the enemy EN and defeats the enemy EN is displayed as a video for about 30 seconds, and when the enemy EN falls down, “WIN” is displayed on the screen. The system shifts to a big hit process as a special game state in which the characters are displayed in large size and the special winning opening 25 is opened. Note that this special game state as a big hit is the same as in the prior art, until the big winning opening 25 is entered for a certain time (usually within about 30 seconds) or until a predetermined number (usually 10) of game balls are entered. This is a process that is completed by repeating the operation of opening and reopening up to 16 times when the game ball passes through a specific area in the special winning opening 25 during this period. After the big hit process is completed, the present “image display process” is executed again, and a scene of confronting the next opponent is displayed. And the acquisition point P at this timeNAnd damage DNAre set to “50” as initial values. In this specific example, the opponent after the big hit process displays an enemy with a stronger image than the previous opponent, and the opponent displayed in step S210 displays an enemy with a weaker image.
[0018]
  After the processes of steps S160, S180, S200, S210, and S220 are performed, the process goes to “Return”, and this process is executed again every predetermined time, but the game ball enters the start port 24. Every time the fighting scene is displayed continuously from the previous fighting scene. In the fighting scene between the main character HI and the enemy EN, the story develops according to the human skill operated by the so-called “TV game” and the acquired points and damage are updated. Random value R selected when entering the starting port 24NAccordingCatchEarn points PNAnd damage DNIs updatedThe story develops on the video screenIt is. In other words, the story development degree is processed based on the input from the input device such as the operation button in the TV game, whereas in this specific example, the selected random value RNTherefore, the TV game image processing program (software) can be easily adopted in this example.
[0019]
  In the specific example described in detail above, the fighting scene based on the random number RN selected when the game ball enters the start port 24 is developed from the previous screen on the moving image display unit 23a of the liquid crystal screen 23. Are displayed. Thereby, the player can continue to enjoy a story-like moving image on the previous still screen each time the game ball enters the start port 24. As a result, the player can enjoy a pachinko game like a TV game. Also, the acquisition point PN is “100”NinaIf so, it has an excellent effect that it can give a sense of expectation to the jackpot and can make the game more interesting. Furthermore, in this specific example, the scene where the enemy EN is defeated by the main character HI is displayed and a big hit state is displayed, but when the random number RN selected when the game ball enters the start port 24 is actually “1”. Although a moving image related to the previous screen (having a history) is displayed on the screen, the probability of being a big hit is uniform regardless of the previous history. This is legal to the current law. In other words, in this specific example, every time a game ball enters the start opening 24, a video related to the previous history is displayed on the screen, but the factor of the actual big hit state is the probability of the random value RN regardless of the previous history. It depends on. Thereby, it has an extremely excellent effect that the player can enjoy a moving image having a story property on the screen in accordance with the current law.
[0020]
  Next, specific example 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the second specific example, the liquid crystal screen 53 shown in FIG. 7 is used instead of the liquid crystal screen 23 shown in FIG. 4 of the first specific example, the “image display processing” shown in FIG. 8 is used instead of the “image display processing” shown in FIG. Random value RNThe correspondence chart of FIG. 9 is used instead of the correspondence chart.RoughlyIt is the same composition. The liquid crystal screen 53 of the second specific example shows a moving image display unit 53a in which a love story between the young protagonist YM and the girl LA is displayed as a moving image, and the degree of fulfillment of the loveAcquisitionPoint PNIt is divided into a message display section 53b to be displayed, a numerical symbol display section 53c that displays a three-digit number, and a hold storage display section 53d that is the same as in the first specific example. In the second specific example, a configuration is adopted in which a big hit state is displayed when a screen on which romance is fulfilled is displayed on the moving image display unit 53a.
[0021]
  First, when the processing executed by the CPU 20a of the electronic control board 20 shifts to this routine, first the random value RNIs stored (step S300). Random value RN IsThe random value R when the game ball launched on the surface of the game board 12 enters the start port 24.NYes, as described above, a maximum of five items are stored, including the reserved storage. Random value RNIn this specific example, as shown in FIG. 9, the counter value is generated by the counter 20 d of the electronic control board 20, which is incremented by 1 every 2.048 ms and repeatedly generates numerical values from 0 to 99 in ascending order. Yes. Since the game balls launched on the surface of the game board 12 are guided or rebounded by obstacle nails or the like (not shown) and some of the launched game balls enter the start port 24, the random number RNEven if has created a periodic value, the value stored when entering the ball acts as a random number.
[0022]
  Random value RN9 are classified into 26 groups according to their possible values, as shown in FIG. And 25 ways of group 1-25 except group 0ofPoint P is selected. Note that the group 1 shown in FIG.N'sThree values from “0” to “3” except “1” belong, and four random numbers belong to each of the other 2 to 25 groups. In the case of group 0, that is, the random value RN isWhen “1”, it is a big hit (step S310).
  Random value RN isWhen it is not “1”, the random value R shown in FIG.NThe point P corresponding to is selected, and the previous acquisition point PNAn update process is performed by adding the selected point P to a new acquired point (step S320). For example, the random value RN isIf it is “53”, it belongs to the group 14, so the point P becomes “−3”, and the previous acquired point PN"-3" is added to. This updated acquisition point PN isIf it is “1” or more and less than “50” (steps S330 to S340), the updated acquired points PNImage display processing according to the stage is performed (step S350).
  In this specific example, the updated acquisition points PN isIf “1” or more and “9” or less, the degree of fulfillment of the romance is very bad, if “10” or more and “19” or less, it is a little worse, if “20” or more and “29” or less, it is normal, “30” As long as it is “39” or less, a very good love scene is displayed for a predetermined time (about 20 to 30 seconds) if it is “40” or more and “49” or less. For example, initial screen (initial acquisition point PNIs set to "25". ) To display the cute girl LA, and then the random value R selected when the game ball enters the start port 24NUse earned points PNAnd this updated acquisition point PNBased on the above, the date screen with the girl LA is displayed on a moving screen by continuing from the previous screen in five stages: a very good atmosphere screen, a good atmosphere, normal, somewhat bad, and quite bad. Also, at each stage, although the atmosphere does not change much, the video where the story develops is earned points PNThe video is displayed accordingly.
[0023]
  Meanwhile, the updated acquisition points PNWhen becomes more than “50” (step S340), the acquired points PNIs updated to “25” forcibly (step S360), and a moving image is displayed on the moving image display unit 53a in a love scene in which the degree of fulfillment of love is normal progress.
  Also, the updated earned points PNIs less than or equal to “0” (step S330), an initial screen for displaying the next girl LA (AcquisitionPoint PN is"25") is displayed as a moving image (step S380).
  Through the processing of step S300 to step S380, the previous acquisition point PN is updated as the current acquisition point PN according to the random value RN, and the moving image display unit 53a of the liquid crystal screen 53 is updated corresponding to the random value RN. The love scene corresponding to the acquired points PN continues from the previous love scene and is displayed as a moving image.
  By the way, when it is determined in step S310 that it is a big hit, the acquired points PNIs forcibly set to “50”, and a marriage screen of the main character YM and the girl LA is displayed as a moving image for about 30 seconds, and then a jackpot process (not shown) is executed. An initial screen for displaying the next girl LA is displayed after the big hit process. At this time, on the initial screen after the end of the jackpot, the next girl LA displays a woman who is more beautiful and pride than the previous one, and the initial screen that is displayed in the step S380 is less beautiful but seems to be more carefree. If women are displayed, it seems that the player's interest will be further enhanced.
[0024]
  As described above, in the specific example 2, the random value R selected when the game ball enters the start port 24.NEarn points P based onN, And updated acquisition points PNAccordingly, the moving image screen of the love progress from the previous screen is continuously displayed on the moving image display portion 53a for a predetermined time, and the acquired points PNThe corresponding still screen is displayed. This updated earned point PNIs displayed on the message display section 53b. On the other hand, as shown in the related art, a three-digit numeric symbol is displayed on the numeric symbol display portion 53c in a variable manner every time a game ball enters the start port 24. As for the numerical design displayed in each digit, 10 numerical designs from “0” to “9” are displayed variably, and the random value RN isWhen “1”, the display is controlled so that the 3-digit identical numeric symbol is displayed. Otherwise, the display control is performed so that the 3-digit identical numeric symbol is not displayed. The timing at which the symbol variably displayed on the numerical symbol display portion 53c stops is preferably between 1 second and 2 seconds after the symbol displayed on the moving image display portion 53a stops.
[0025]
  In the second specific example, in addition to having the same effect as the first specific example, every time a game ball enters the start port 24, an independent variation pattern that is not related to the previous display, Random value R selected as indicated in the technologyNSince the numerical symbols not related to the previous history are variably displayed on the basis of the above, there is an effect that it is legal without conflicting with the current law even on the screen.
[0026]
  Next, a third specific example will be described with reference to FIGS.
  In the third specific example, the random value RNIs a counter value that is incremented by 1 every 2.048 ms and repeatedly creates numerical values from 0 to 99 in ascending order, and is generated by the counter 20d of the electronic control board 20. This random value RNAre classified into 25 groups according to their possible values, as shown in the random value correspondence chart of FIG. Then, 25 points P of groups 1 to 25 are selected.
[0027]
  In the third specific example, unlike the first and second specific examples, the random value RNThere is no pre-determined value for jackpot, and the random value RNUsing the point P selected corresponding toN(Steps S400 to S410), and the updated acquired points PNIf the value exceeds a predetermined value (“100” in this specific example), the special gaming state is set (steps S450 to S460). Other configurations are almost the same as those of the first specific example, and the acquisition points P updated for a predetermined time each time a game ball enters the start opening 24.N4 is continued from the previous screen, and the fight scene shown in FIG. 4 is continuously displayed (steps S420 to S440). In the third example, damage DNThe value of is not displayed. In addition, on the initial setting screen, earned points PNA value of “50” is set as the initial value of.
[0028]
  In the third specific example, if the acquired point PN updated by the point P selected corresponding to the random number value RN exceeds “100”, the special game state is set, and the previous screen and the acquired point PN are set to the special game state. Directly related. For this reason,If the earned point PN is close to “100”, it is possible to increase the expectation for the big hit and to make the game more interesting. Also,If the earned point PN is increased, the player has an excellent effect that the game is less likely to be interrupted, and that the pachinko hall can be improved by increasing the number of customers in the pachinko hall. Also, if a player plays a game for a long time and increases the earned points PN, the possibility of entering a special gaming state increases, so the player will not suffer much damage, and the game will be further soundened. There is also an effect that can be done.
[0029]
  In the first to third specific examples described above, the acquired points PNHowever, it is not always necessary to set the initial value to be uniform, and the initial value may be changed according to the state. For example, in the first and second specific examples, the random value RNIt is also configured to have a so-called high probability state that increases the probability of jackpot according to this, and in this high probability state, the acquired points PNThe initial value of is set to a larger value than when the probability is low. In the third specific example, it is conceivable to set the initial value according to the difficulty level of the fighting enemy. For example, when displaying strong enemies, acquisition points PNAcquisition points P updated with a smaller initial valueNIt is difficult to reach “100”, and when a weak enemy is displayed, the initial value is increased to easily reach the special game state. At this time, the number of prize balls given to the player in the special game state may be different depending on the difficulty level of the displayed enemy.
  Furthermore, in this specific example, a special game state is set when a specific video is displayed on the video display units 23a and 53a. However, a special game state is set when a specific video is displayed. It is also good. For example, a specific moving image is displayed to allow a game ball to enter a specific prize opening, and a special game state is established by passing the game ball through a specific area of the specific prize opening.
  In the first specific example to the third specific example, each of the random value RNAs shown in the chart, the correspondence between the point P and the point P is set to correspond uniformly.NThe point P may be calculated from the above. In short, the random value RNThe point P corresponding to the degree of development of the story may be obtained based on the above.

【The invention's effect】
  Claim1'sAccording to the invention, the random number value (RN) is selected when a game ball launched on the game board surface enters the start port (24), and the acquisition point (PN) is determined by a numerical value. The point (P) is grouped according to the random value (RN), and the point (P) corresponding to the random value (RN) is selected. The selected point (P) is added to the previous acquired point (PN) to obtain a new acquired point (PN), and the video display unit (23a, 53a) progresses from the previous screen according to the new acquired point (PN). Continue to display the video screen you want to play. Thereby, the player can continue to enjoy a story-like moving image on the previous still screen every time the game ball enters the start opening (24). As a result, the player can enjoy a pachinko game like a TV game.
  Further claims1'sAccording to the invention, the story develops according to the skill of a human being operated by a so-called “TV game”, while points (P) according to a random value selected every time a game ball enters the start opening (24). ) And the story develops in a moving image according to the acquired points (PN) updated by the points (P), so that it is possible to program without much difference from the TV game program. In other words, a pachinko game can be performed while enjoying a TV game on a conventional pachinko gaming machine without a special configuration.
