However, in this case, the game balls stored in the storage device 20 are released by the movable body non-interlocking release means 112 regardless of the movement of the movable body 21. On the other hand, when the second big hit game is selected by the big hit selection means 101, the game balls are stored at least once by the storage device 20 until the round game from 1R to 5R is completed as described above. In this case, the game ball stored in the storage device 20 is released by the movable body interlock release means 111 at the timing when the drive control for moving the movable body 21 to the storage device 20 is performed by the conditional drive control means 113.
Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when the winning game control means 102 executes the second big hit game using the upper big prize opening 24, the movable piece 22 of the upper big prize opening 24 is set for a predetermined period (for example, 5 .2 seconds) The storage device 20 stores the game ball at least once until 5R when the game to be released ends. However, in this case, the game balls stored in the storage device 20 are released by the movable body non-interlocking release means 112 regardless of the movement of the movable body 21.
In this way, among the first and second jackpot games, for example, the game balls stored in the center of the game board 3 only when the player wins a lot of balls that are advantageous to the player, for example, the first jackpot game is won. However, the player can be surprised and impressed strongly by an unprecedented powerful production effect such as being knocked down by the movable body 21 and falling apart. In addition, when the display is emphasized on the liquid crystal display 9 at the timing when it is knocked down by the movable body 21, a more powerful presentation effect can be realized.

In particular, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the power of the electromagnet is turned off at the timing when the movable body 21 is brought into contact with the game ball 18 stored by the storage device 20 by the lamp control board 60. All game balls that cannot be released only by the contact of the movable body 21 can be released, and the game balls can be dropped vigorously.
Further, since the rotation control unit 25 is rotated in accordance with the timing at which the movable body 21 is brought into contact with the game ball 18 stored by the storage device 20 by the lamp control board 60, the movable body 21 is not brought into contact. All the game balls can be released, and the game balls can be dropped vigorously.
Further, when the effect control board 40 and the image control board 50 output a release sound effect at the timing when the movable body 21 comes into contact with the game ball 18 stored using the speaker 19, the release of the actual game ball and the liquid crystal are output. Due to the synergistic effect of the highlighting by the display 9 and the sound effect from the speaker 19, a more powerful performance can be performed.

The following is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed by the game control board of the game control device in order to realize the operation of the pachinko gaming machine of the present embodiment described so far.

If it is determined that the gate SW 36 is ON (S41: Yes), the gate counter that counts the number of times the gate SW 36 is detected. It is determined whether or not the count value G is G <4 (S42). When the count value G is smaller than “4” (S42: Yes), “1” is added to the count value G (S43), a random number is acquired and stored in the RAM 33 (S44), and the process returns to the main process. If the gate SW 36 is not ON (S41: No), or if the count value G <4 (S42: No), the process returns to the main process.

[Kamidai prize opening SW processing]
FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of the upper prize winning opening SW process executed by the CPU.
The CPU 31 determines whether or not the upper prize winning opening SW37a is ON (S51). If the CPU 31 determines that the upper prize winning opening SW37a is ON (S51: Yes), It is determined whether or not the first or second big hit is being made (S52). When it is determined that the first or second big hit is being made (S52: Yes), “1” is added to the count value C of the winning number counter for counting the winning number (S53), and a command for 10 winning balls is issued. Set (S54) and return to the main process. If it is determined that the first big hit is not made (S52: No), only the command of 10 winning balls is set without adding "1" to the count value C of the winning number counter (S54), and the main processing is performed. Return to. If it is determined in step S51 that the upper prize winning opening SW37a is not ON (S51: No), the process directly returns to the main process.
