  The screen display program P32 is a program for performing processing for displaying an image, numerical information, and the like on the display device 14 based on the control command transmitted from the sub-control board Kb and its control data, and the normal game screen display program P321. And a special game screen display program P322.

  The normal game screen display program P321 is a variety of effect images displayed on the display device 14 and various types of support for the player when the player is playing a normal game since the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on. It is a program which performs the process which displays the image of this. The normal game screen display program P321 further includes an initial effect display program P3211, and a game effect display program (upward probability display means) P3212 as subprograms.

  The game effect display program P3212 is composed of a program for displaying a screen having contents as shown in FIG. For example, as the game progresses, each time the player performs a throw-in operation, or in the case of a normal game game, the self-control operation by launching a game ball, etc., the main control board Ka passes through the sub-control board Kb. A process for displaying on the navigation display unit 31 the current game symbol, the discard symbol, and the content of the recommended game transmitted from the sub-control board Kb based on the control command and its control data transmitted The program includes a program having various display means such as a process for displaying the number of points obtained for the rising combination when the rising combination is completed.

  The special game screen display program P322 is a program for performing processing for displaying various effect screens when the player acquires the right of special game. The special game screen display program P322 further includes a right acquisition effect display program P3221 and a self-selection selection support program P3222 that produce an effect display when the player completes a winning combination that allows the player to acquire special game rights. Yes. The self-selection support program P3222 is a program that is activated when the player has acquired the right to a special game. The self-selection candidate displayed on the display device 14 can be selected by using the right-selection right shift button 19 or the This is a program for supporting the operation of selecting the symbol of the bag to be self-contained by the interactive method while operating the selection left shift button 20 to scroll.

  The sound / sound effect output program P41 is for outputting various effect sounds and sound effects from the speaker 6 as the game progresses based on the control command and its control data transmitted from the sub-control board Kb. It is a program.

  The heel panel light emission control program P51 controls the light emission of each of the heel panels 50 of the game board surface 2 based on the control command and the control data transmitted from the sub control board Kb, that is, the coloring process for each heel panel 50 , A program for performing emission intensity adjustment processing, extinguishing processing, and the like.

  A program for controlling the operation of each of the control boards Ka, Kb, and Kc is developed using an assembler language, C language, Visual Basic language, or the like, and is a machine language program that can be executed by the CPU 40 of each board. The translated program is stored in the ROM 41 of each control board Ka, Kb, Kc.

  Subsequently, an outline of the game procedure of the above-described sparrow ball gaming machine 1 and the processing of each program accompanying this procedure will be described. One game (game) starts when a player inserts a medal into the medal slot 15, presses the game start button 24, and the automatic layout program P5 distributes 14 hands. Then, one game progresses in accordance with the control of each program that operates based on input signals and control signals generated from various operation buttons and sensors such as the throw-away button 16a,.

  First, when the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on, the main board operation control program P1 of the main control board Ka sets the initialization control command when the power is turned on to the sub control board Kb, and the sub control board Kb initializes this. Control commands are transmitted to the image control board Kc. When the sub-control board Kb and the image control board Kc receive this initialization control command, the sub-control board Kb and the image control board Kc initialize the storage area of the RAM 42 in the board Kc, and the initial effect display program P3211 mounted on the image control board Kc Processing such as displaying an effect screen when ON, for example, a landscape screen on the display device 14 is performed.

  When the sub control board Kb receives this initialization control command when the power is turned on, the sub board operation control program P21 stores various image data and sound stored in the ROM 41 of the sub control board Kb as described above. The sound effect data is transmitted to the image control board Kc, and the image board operation control program P31 of the image control board Kc performs a process of storing the received image and sound / sound effect data in the RAM 42.

  When the player inserts a medal into the medal insertion slot 15 and the main board operation control program P1 detects the medal insertion signal, the medal management program P3 performs a process of adding “1” to the medal storage number. Subsequently, when the player presses the game start button 24 and the main board operation control program P1 detects a game start signal from the game start button 24, a game of one game can be started. Then, the main board operation control program P1 transmits a game start control command to the image control board Kc via the sub control board Kb. Based on this control command, the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc displays an effect image at the start of the game on the display device 14 and outputs sound from the speaker 6 by the sound / sound effect output program P41. In this way, one game of the sparrow ball game machine starts.

  Subsequently, under the control of the main board operation control program P1, the automatic layout program P5 is activated to automatically determine the 14 layout patterns necessary for starting the game by program processing. The automatic layout program P5 sequentially stores the 14 symbol codes automatically allocated in the manual storage area of the RAM 42, and then, in a predetermined order, for example, ascending order of symbol codes, that is, insulator, tube, cord , Wind tiles, and ternary tiles are sorted in order (stored) and stored in the manual storage area.

  Subsequently, the automatic layout program P5 transmits the 14 distributed symbol codes together with the control command to the sub-control board Kb. When the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives this distributed symbol code, it stores it in the RAM 42 and transmits these 14 distributed symbol codes to the image control board Kc.

  The sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb uses the disclosed number table to display the number of bags disclosed at the current game place for the 14 game symbols transmitted from the main control board Ka. Process to count. Further, when the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc receives 14 symbol codes, the image of the cocoon pattern as shown in FIG. The display process is performed on the heel display unit 36). While the 14 automatic arrangements have not been determined, the backside of the cocoon or a non-displayed design is displayed as an initial screen on the manual display unit 35 and the self-displaying unit 36 that displays the self-displayed design. Process to display.

  Subsequently, the special game combination lottery program P6 (which operates when a normal game is being played) and the Dora lottery program P7 are activated, and the winning combination (big The game role) and the chance game right can be acquired (chance game role), and the front and back dramas are determined. Then, each data (coded data) of the big game rising combination and the chance game rising combination, front and back games determined by the processing of these programs P6 and P7 (coded data) is sub-control board Kb To the image control board Kc.

  When the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc receives the code of the rising combination that can acquire the big game combination and the chance game combination, and the design code of the front and back dramas, as shown in FIG. A process of displaying the chance game combination on the big game rising combination display unit 32, the chance increase combination display unit 33, and the front drum on the front drum display unit 29 is performed.

  After the game has been arranged as described above, when the game start button 24 is pressed by the player, the main board operation control program P1 displays a screen to the player that the display device 14 has a game start condition. Performs display or audio notification processing. Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 operates the winning determination program P8 to perform a process of determining whether or not the 14 hands that have been automatically arranged have already completed the winning combination. If the winning combination is completed in this determination process, the winning determination program P8 determines the predetermined rising combination and the score (number of acquired medals) that the player can acquire (Table 2). Determine with reference to the data. Subsequently, the winning determination program P8 transmits the winning combination, the score obtained, and the like to the image control board Kc via the sub control board Kb. When the image control board Kc receives the winning combination and the acquired score, the game effect display program P3212 displays the rising combination, the acquired score, and other effect images on the display device 14 for a predetermined time. Perform the process.

  On the other hand, if the 14 symbols of the automatically arranged baskets are not completed and the winning combination is not completed, the main board operation control program P1 is an operation of throwing away one unnecessary basket from the manuals to the player. A control command for performing screen display for prompting is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. When the image control board Kc receives this control command, the game effect display program P3212 sends a message for prompting the user to discard one unnecessary bag out of the handbook to the rising eye display unit 31 of the display device 14. Process to display. In addition, when displaying the message on the rising eye display unit 31, the voice / sound effect output program P41 may be activated to perform a prompting process together with the voice.

  Subsequently, the player performs an operation of selecting a throwing-in trash from the symbols of the cocoon displayed on the hand-held display unit 35 and the self-displaying unit 36. Then, when the player decides the symbol of the bag to be thrown away, he selects (turns on) any one of the button for discarding buttons 16a, 16b, 16c,. Discard this bag. On the basis of this discarding pot selection signal, the main board operation control program P1 stores the symbol code of the bowl that has been discarded by performing the discarding operation in the discarding storage area of the RAM 42 in the main control board Ka. A process of deleting 13 symbol codes from the handbook stored in the handbook storage area is performed.

  Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 performs image control via the sub-control board Kb and the sub-control board Kb together with the control command of the discarded design code and 13 design codes. Processing to transmit to the substrate Kc is performed. When the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc receives the symbol code that has been discarded, the symbol code corresponding to the symbol code is displayed on the discard symbol display unit 34, and the symbol codes of the 13 hand rules are displayed. When received, a process of displaying the symbols of the cocoons corresponding to these symbol codes on the hand pallet display unit 35 is performed. At this time, for example, the back side of the bag is displayed on the self-displaying unit 36.

  Subsequently, the main board operation control program P1 of the main control board Ka operates the game ball management program P4 after the above-described processing related to the player's disposal operation is completed, and sets the game ball to the game ball launch position. Processing to send a ball. Then, the player can operate the game ball launch lever 4 to launch a game ball into the game board surface 2.

  When a player launches a game ball and this game ball enters any of the entrances 11a, 11b, 11c,..., A sensor (not shown) detects the game ball and generates an incoming signal. . The game ball management program P4 decodes the incoming signal and performs a process of storing the symbol code of the kite (self-sucker) corresponding to the entered entrance into the manual storage area. Subsequently, the winning determination program P8 is operated, and it is determined whether or not the 14 hands have been raised and the combination is completed. Then, when the hand is raised and the winning combination is completed, as described above, it is determined what kind of rising role is set in advance and the score that the player can obtain is obtained. A process of transmitting to the image control board Kc via the control board Kb is performed. On the other hand, when the rising combination has not been completed, as described above, the player performs a discarding operation of throwing out one of the 14 hands that is considered unnecessary.

  Subsequently, the light emission control of the eaves panel according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 9, for example, the player presses the reach button 18 after serving a game or after having obtained self-confidence by entering a ball at the entrance 11 and before throwing away the ball. (S11), this control is executed. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that when the reach button 18 is not pressed, the light emission control of the eaves panel is not performed. However, the light emission control of the eaves panel is always performed regardless of the operation of the reach button 18 in particular. You may make it perform.

  After operating the reach button 18, either one of the discard buttons 16a, 16b, 16c,... If the self-cutting is performed, it is determined that it has been discarded (S12). Then, the reach declaration processing program P81 of the main control board Ka determines whether or not the combination of 13 hand-drawn symbols is in a hearing state (S13). At the same time, a reach process for adding one rising combination is performed (S14). If not in the listening state, the player is notified of the fact that it is not in the listening state on the navigation display screen 31 (see FIG. 3), for example (S15).

  Next, the sub-board operation control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb moves the process to the light emission method determination program P24. First, the ascending pattern determination program P241 is based on 13 symbol codes (combination of hand symbols). The most similar rising combination is searched from among the rising combinations, and how to rise (rising pattern) is determined. Note that the determined way of rising is not limited to one rising combination, and may be a plurality of rising combinations (for example, “Tan Yao” and “Peace”).

  Next, the target wrinkle extraction program 242 extracts the next wrinkle to be aimed at in order to make the upward movement determined by the upward pattern determination program P241 (S16). Specifically, for example, if the hand symbol is in a hearing state, the next rising eye to be self-extracted is extracted, and if the hand symbol is not in a hearing state, it should be self-indicating to reduce the number of listeners. For example, if there is a two-way listening, a hook for making a one-way listening, and a one-way listening for a one-way listening are extracted.

  Here, referring to FIG. 8, the detection of the entrance rate by the programs P26 to P28 will be described. That is, in step S1, the total number of entered balls storage program P26 sequentially counts and detects the number of game balls that have been launched into the game board surface 2 and entered the entrance slot 11, and the total number of entered balls (= a) is detected. And stored in the storage area of the RAM 42 in the sub control board Kb.

  In step S2, the number-of-entry-entry-entry number storage program P27 sequentially counts and detects the number of entrances for each of the plurality of entrances 11a, 11b, 11c,. The number of balls (= b) is stored in the storage area of the RAM 42 in the sub control board Kb.

Subsequently, in step S3, the entrance rate calculation program P28 for each entrance is stored by the total number of entrances (= a) stored by the entrance total storage program P26 and the entrance number storage program P27 by entrance. The entrance rate (= c) for each entrance is calculated based on the number of entrances per entrance (= b). The calculation of the entrance rate (= c) is as follows:
c = b ÷ a × 100
Is done by. The thus calculated (acquired) entrance rate (= c) for each entrance is sequentially stored in the storage area of the RAM 42 in the sub-control board Kb (S4).

  As described above, the target kite extraction program 242 extracts the kite that should be aimed next (see S16), and the total number of entering balls storage program P26, the number of entering entrance balls storage program P27, and the entrance rate calculation program for each entrance entrance When the entrance rate of each entrance 11 is calculated by P28, the light emission pattern determination program P243 acquires the entrance rate of the next kite to be targeted extracted by the target kite extraction program 242.

  Subsequently, the light emission pattern determination program P243 determines a color (light emission color) for coloring the eyelid panel 50 for each of the extracted eyelids to be targeted next according to the acquired entrance rate ( S17). As a specific example, for example, “red” if the entrance rate is 10% or more, “purple” if the entrance rate is 10% to 5%, “blue” if the entrance rate is less than 5%, etc. Decide like this. It should be noted that more types of emission colors may be used, and the size of RGB (red, green, blue) is determined in proportion to the size of the entrance rate, that is, an intermediate color. You may decide in the form which uses.

  Next, the light emission pattern determination program P243 determines the light emission intensity of the reed panel 50 according to the acquired entrance rate for each of the extracted reeds to be targeted next (S18). As a specific example, for example, the entrance rate is set from 0% to 20% in 20 steps for every 1%, and the light emission capacity of the heel panel 50 is divided into 20 steps so that the higher the entrance rate, the brighter the entry rate. The emission intensity is determined. For example, even if the entrance rate is 0%, it is preferable to assign a certain amount of light emission intensity and set the light emission even slightly. Further, the distribution of the light emission intensity may be determined in a stepless manner so that the magnitude of the contrast is determined in proportion to the magnitude of the entrance rate.

  Further, the light emission pattern determination program P243 determines the light emission intensity of the other light panel 50 to be 0, that is, turn off when determining the light intensity of the next light panel 50 to be targeted.

  In this way, when the light emission pattern determination program P243 determines the light emission color and light emission intensity when the next light source panel 50 should emit light, the determined content is used as a control command for the light source panel light emission control program of the image control board Kc. Transmitted to P51, the light emission control of the eaves panel 50 is started (S19). As a specific example, for example, in the state of the hand-claw (listening state) shown in FIG. 3, the target to be aimed (upward) is “9 cylinders” “south”, and the entrance rate of “9 cylinders” is 12%, Assuming that the entrance rate for “South” is 3%, as shown in FIG. 10, the heel panel 50 t corresponding to the “nine-cylinder” symbol is displayed in “red” with a relatively bright emission intensity. The light emission is controlled, and the light emission control is performed so that the eaves panel 50v corresponding to the symbol “south” is displayed with “blue” and a relatively dark light emission intensity. Further, the other soot panel 50 is controlled to be turned off.

  In this way, by controlling the light emission of the heel panel 50 corresponding to the next heel to be aimed at, the player, for example, even if there are a plurality of heels to be aimed next, at a glance, It is possible to easily determine which kite should be aimed. At this time, for example, if the player operates the reach button 18 in a listening state, that is, after reaching the reach, and if all of the lighted and controlled lighted panels 50 are in a “blue” or dark state, the probability of rising is high. It is possible to determine that the state is low, and it is possible to determine that the state where the hand cannot be changed by reaching is not a very good state.

  As described above, when the heel panel 50 is controlled to emit light, the player waits for the player to launch and enter the entrance 11 (S20 to S24). Here, it is before the player has made a launch (No in S20), and the player has reached reach as described above (Yes in S21), and when the player presses the reach button 18 again (S21) (S22) The reach release processing program P82 performs reach release processing for returning the hand to be changeable and deleting one rising combination (S23). That is, for example, the player sees the display panel 50 that has been controlled to reach as described above, determines that the probability of rising is low, and that the state where the hand cannot be changed is not a very good state. Reach can be canceled when a decision is made. As a result, the player can change his / her hand and aim for another way of climbing.

  Further, even when the player has reached a reach, for example, by looking at the light emission state of the heel panel 50, it is determined that the probability of going up is high, and the player has made a launch without operating the reach button 18, The reach state is maintained as it is. When the hand is not in the hearing state, the light emission state of the next eyelid panel 50 to be aimed at is simply seen, and the target eye is hit.

  When the player has thus launched the game ball (Yes in S20) and detects that the game ball has entered the entrance 11 (Yes in S24), the kite panel light emission control program P51 emits light. The control is terminated (S25), and the above light emission control is repeated until the hand is raised or the remaining number of game balls in one game becomes zero.

  In the present embodiment, the example has been described as the example of performing the reach release process after the reach is thrown away until the launch is performed. For example, after the launch is performed with the reach applied. That is, after obtaining the next self-restraint, control may be performed so that the reach release processing can be performed.

  As described above, the game proceeds while performing the throwing-in operation and the launching operation, and when the game ball enters the entrance 11 corresponding to the rising base after entering the listening state, the winning determination program P8 The control determines whether the rising combination is established, and a score is calculated based on the established rising combination, front and back drums, and the like.

  In detail, the maximum number of points that can be obtained in one game under the control of the winning determination program P8 is, for example, up to 10 points, and the upper limit is set. Further, when two or more types of rising combinations are established at the same time, the score obtained by adding the points given to each of the rising combinations is the score of the game. Similarly, if the handbag contains the same dragon pattern as the front and back dramas, a score is also added to that dorado, for example, one score per dora is added. The One score obtained in the game corresponds to one medal. However, if the total number of points acquired in the game exceeds 10, the total number of medals (scores) that can be acquired is 10.

  Further, the winning determination program P8 is displayed until the game ends, that is, when the game end button 23 is pressed because the remaining number of game balls becomes 0, or when the game start button 24 is pressed. If the predetermined combination of rising combinations shown in FIG. 2 is not completed, the game end control command is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. Then, the game effect display program P3212 on the image control board Kc displays “game over” on the display device 14 and notifies the player of the end of the game.

  Even when the combination of rising combinations is completed, if the display of the remaining game ball number display section 27 (the number of remaining balls) is “1” or more, the self-discard button 17 or the discard button 16a. , 16b, 16c,..., A game continuation control command is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb under the control of the main board operation control program P1. Then, the game effect display program P3212 on the image control board Kc erases the explanation of the winning combination displayed on the display device 14 and the display of the acquired score so that the game can be continued.

  Further, when the player operates the game end button 23 or the game start button 24 when the rising combination is completed and the explanation of the rising combination is displayed on the display device 14, the main board operation control program P1 inputs this input. The signal type is decoded and the medal management program P3 is operated, the score obtained in this game is added to the medal storage number stored in the RAM 42, and this medal storage number is imaged via the sub-control board Kb. Transmit to the control board Kc. Then, the game effect display program P3212 of the image control board Kc displays the medal stored number on the medal stored number display unit 26. When the player operates the game start button 24 after operating the game end button 23, the stored medal insertion operation is automatically performed, and the main board operation control program P1 can perform the next game. In order to obtain a ready state, a control command for initializing the screen display is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb.

  When the winning combination is a rising combination that can acquire the right of the big game, which is one of the special games set in advance, the winning determination program P8 confirms that the rising combination that can acquire the right of the big game is completed. The control command shown is transmitted to the image control board Kc via the sub-control board Kb. Then, the right acquisition effect display program P3221 of the image control board Kc alternately displays the explanation of the rising role and the display of establishment of the big game right at predetermined time intervals on the rising eye display unit 31 of the display device 14. Then, processing is performed to inform the player that the right of the big game has been established.

  When the right of the big game is established, as described above, the attacker 9 can be operated for a predetermined number of games, for example, 14 games in the next game including the game.

  In a game in which the right of a big game is established, when a player launches a game ball, the game ball passes through the attacker operating port 10, and the passage signal is input to the main control board Ka, the main board The operation control program P1 controls the opening of the attacker 9 so that the game ball can easily enter the attacker 9. Each time the player enters one game ball in the attacker 9, the player can arbitrarily select self-restraint by the display device 14 and the interactive method. This self-selection operation can be performed by the processes of the self-selection support program P9 of the main control board Ka and the self-selection support program P3222 of the image control board Kc.

  In the above-described embodiment, description has been given of controlling the light emission of the eaves panel 50 when the reach button 18 is pressed. For example, when a new button is provided and the button is pressed. Alternatively, the eaves panel 50 may be controlled to emit light. In other words, in this case, the newly provided button functions as a target eyelid confirmation operation means for causing the eyelid panel 50 corresponding to the eyelid to be aimed next to emit light.

  Similarly, in the present embodiment, a description has been given of a case where the reach button 18 is pressed again to perform reach release processing. However, for example, when a reach release button is newly provided and the reach release button is operated, Alternatively, the reach release processing may be performed.

  In the present embodiment, the reach declaration processing program P81 as the upright declaration processing means and the reach release processing program P82 as the upright release processing means are provided on the main control board Ka, and the rising pattern determination program P241 as the rising combination determining means. Target basket extraction program P242 as target basket extraction means, light emission pattern determination program P243 as light emission control means, total number storage program P26 as entrance rate detection means, entrance number storage program P27 by entrance, and entrance In the above description, the entrance rate calculation program P28 per mouth is provided in the sub-control board Kb, and the eaves panel light emission control program P51 as the light emission control means is provided in the image control board Kc.

Since it includes a light emission pattern determination program P243 and a heel panel light emission control program P51 that cause colored light emission according to the sphere entrance rate to be aimed next calculated by P27 and the entrance rate calculation program P28 per entrance, for example Even players who are not very familiar with mahjong games can easily select the pattern of the next kite to be aimed at, and correspond to the pattern of the next kite to target, regardless of the unfamiliarity of mahjong game. It is not necessary to search for the position on the game board surface portion 2 where the entrance 11 is located, so that the game proceeds quickly. Door can be. Further, for example, even in a state where a plurality of kites can be aimed, such as waiting on both sides or waiting on three sides, the kite panel 50 of the entrance 11 is colored and emitted according to the entrance rate, so It is possible to easily determine whether or not to aim at the entrance corresponding to the symbol, and it is possible to make the game proceed quickly.

  Further, the light emission pattern determination program P243 and the bag panel light emission control program P51 set the bag panel 50 corresponding to the next bag pattern to be targeted, which is extracted by the target basket extraction program P242, to the next target kite entry rate. For example, the entrance 11 with a high entrance rate can be conspicuous, and the player can more easily determine which entrance 11 is aimed for, and the game can be performed quickly. You can try to progress to.

  Further, the light emission pattern determination program P243 and the soot panel light emission control program P51 cause the soot panel 50 corresponding to the design of the soot to be aimed next extracted by the target soot extraction program P242 to emit colored light. Since the saddle panel 50 corresponding to the design is turned off, the entrance 11 to be aimed at can be made more conspicuous, and the player can easily determine which entrance 11 is aimed at. It can be planned to proceed quickly.

  In addition, the light emission pattern determination program P243 and the heel panel light emission control program P51 cause the heel panel 50 corresponding to the next heel pattern to be targeted based on the player's operation input to emit colored light. It is possible to make the heel panel 50 corresponding to the design of the heel to be targeted emit light.

  Further, the light emission pattern determination program P243 and the light panel light emission control program P51 cause the light panel 50 corresponding to the next light image to be targeted based on the operation input of the reach button 18 to emit colored light. It is possible to easily determine which position on the game board the player can aim at to enter the entrance 11. In addition, since the approximate entrance rate of the entrance 11 corresponding to the rising kite pattern can be determined from the colored and illuminated kite panel 50, it is easy to determine whether or not the combination of the hand kite design is likely to rise. Can do.

  Further, the reach button 18 is configured to accept an operation input after the reach processing is performed by the reach declaration processing program P81, and when the operation input of the reach button 18 is accepted again, the listening state hand pattern is changed. Since the reach release processing program P82 for performing the release release processing for enabling and reducing the rising combination by one is provided, for example, the player colored and emitted the heel panel 50 corresponding to the design of the up heel. Even when it is determined that it is difficult to increase the symbol combination, the reach release processing can be performed.

  The present invention has been described based on the preferred embodiment, but the sparrow ball game machine of the present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made from the configuration of the above embodiment. And the sparrow ball game machine which gave the change is also included in the scope of the present invention.
