BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a ball game machine in which a point is paid when a specific symbol or a special symbol in a symbol display device of a game board is matched, and a privilege can be given to a player based on the point.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, in pachinko machines, various symbol display devices and devices with a starting port for starting the symbol have been used. However, the symbol on the symbol display device fluctuates by winning at the winning port or winning at the starting port. Then, when the special symbols are gathered, it becomes a “hit”, and correspondingly, the prize balls are paid out from the prize ball payout device, but the player has the opportunity to win the limited jackpot prize balls without the special symbols. It was a problem to cut interest. Thus, a point service has been proposed as a service for players. For example, a card processing machine that is different from the pachinko machine is installed near the pachinko machine, and a card reader / writer, a point display, and a card return request for reading and writing are provided by the player providing a card card insertion slot in the card processing machine. The key is displayed on the point display with the points read by the card reader / writer, and a predetermined point is added each time the ball lending amount reaches a predetermined amount based on the signal received from the lending machine There are some which are written on the card and displayed on the point display, or the player presses the return request key to return the point card (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 9-290064). In addition, there is one that gives a score in place of a prize ball for winning of a hit ball (see Japanese Patent Publication No. 8-22329).
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The conventional card processing machine is provided separately from the pachinko gaming machine, and since the pachinko machine is continuously installed on each island base, there is no place for placing the card processing machine adjacent to each other. In addition, the former point service device adds a predetermined point and writes it to the card every time the ball lending amount reaches a predetermined amount based on a signal received from the lending machine. Gives a privilege, but it is not a bonus for the game itself, so there is no interest, and the latter scoring machine simply replaces the award ball with a score, giving the player other benefits in addition to the score It is not a thing.
[0004]
The present invention solves the conventional problems as described above, and the inventor uses points on the symbol display device to separate points from the awarding of prize balls by matching the special symbol of the conventional symbol display device. Contemplates a ball game machine that can be given a privilege, based on predetermined specific point information on the game board symbol display device, that is, a specific symbol, a special symbol, or point information that matches one of the symbols , A ball game machine that gives a player special points and can give a player a privilege such as paying a prize ball or obtaining a prize based on the points, thereby enhancing the interest of the player.
