An elementary block unit, an intermediate block unit, and an advanced block unit are arranged on the screen, and an arrow to be selected is displayed on the screen 19 on each block. At the beginning of the selection screen display, the arrow points to the position of the upper part 20 of the elementary block part, then moves to the upper part 21 of the intermediate block part, and further displays a loop that moves to the position of the upper part 22 of the advanced block part. .
When the operation button 3 is pressed while an arrow points to a block part, the difficulty level is selected.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the janken game machine according to the present invention.
When a coin is inserted into the janken game machine and the selection screen shown in FIG. 4 is displayed, the player presses the operation button 3 when the arrow moves to any of the elementary, intermediate or advanced blocks desired to be selected. Thus, any difficulty level can be selected (step (hereinafter referred to as “S”) 001).
Here, when the player selects the beginner level (S002), the janken control unit 15 performs first-out control of janken on the game machine side and displays it on the display screen 2 (S003).

The rotation driving unit 15b drives the rotating body displayed on the display screen 2 to rotate at a slow rotation speed (S004). Then, the operation button press monitoring unit 15c monitors whether or not a press command is input from the operation button (S005). When the operation button 3 is pressed, the roulette stop control unit 15d instantaneously stops the roulette (S006). As a result, the contents of the player's janken are fixed and displayed (S007). The winning / losing result confirmation display control unit 15e confirms the winning / losing by comparing the position where the roulette is stopped with the content of the game machine that has been put forward, and displays this on the display screen 2 (S020).
On the other hand, when the player selects the intermediate level (S008), the rotation driving unit 15b drives to rotate the rotating body displayed on the display screen 2 at a medium rotation number (S009).

  The operation button press monitoring unit 15c monitors whether or not a press command is input from the operation button 3 (S010). When the operation button 3 is pressed, the roulette stop control unit 15d slowly stops the roulette, that is, takes a little time (S011). As a result, the contents of the player's janken are fixed and displayed (S012). The janken control unit 15 displays and confirms the janken content at the same time or after the determination of the janken content of the player (S013). The winning / losing result confirmation display control unit 15e confirms the winning / losing by comparing the position where the roulette is stopped with the contents of the game machine which is simultaneously or later, and displays this on the display screen 2 (S020).

In addition, when the player selects an advanced level instead of an intermediate level (S014), the rotation driving unit 15b drives to rotate the rotating body displayed on the display screen 2 at a high speed (S015).
The operation button press monitoring unit 15c monitors whether or not a press command is input from the operation button (S016). When the operation button 3 is pressed, the roulette stop control unit 15d slowly stops roulette over a considerable time (S017). As a result, the contents of the player's janken are fixed and displayed (S018). The janken control unit 15 confirms the contents of the janken after displaying the janken contents after confirming the janken contents of the player (S019). The winning / losing result confirmation display control unit 15e confirms the winning / losing by comparing the position where the roulette is stopped with the content of the game machine that has been added later, and displays this on the display screen 2 (S020).

  In this way, when the player selects the beginner level, the roulette rotates slowly and the game machine is first-out, so it is easy to win the game machine. When the player selects the intermediate level, since the rotation of the roulette is moderate and the game machine is simultaneous or later, it is a little difficult to win against the game machine. Further, when the player selects the advanced level, the roulette rotates fast and the game machine is a later model, so it is very difficult to win the game machine. In addition, an element of chance is added.

The above embodiment has described an example in which one of the three difficulty levels of beginner, intermediate, and advanced can be selected. However, the present invention can be applied even if the number of difficulty levels is two or four or more. It is. In addition to the examples of the roulette and the drum, the rotating body may be a rotating body of another shape. Further, although the sizes of the goo, choki, and par regions in the rotating body are the same, different regions may be used. In such a case, if the player aims at a large area, the desired janken content can be easily obtained . Furthermore, although the configuration for starting the janken game by inserting coins has been described, the janken game can be started not by coins but by other means. For example, when using a card or the like.
