Next, the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment will be described.
The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment has a probability variation function. In this embodiment, when the probability variation function is activated, the probability of winning a big win in the winning lottery varies from a low probability (normal probability) to a high probability. That is, the probability variation function changes the probability state from a state in which the probability of winning the jackpot is low (normal probability) (hereinafter referred to as a low probability state) to a state in which the probability of winning the jackpot is high (hereinafter referred to as It is a function to change to a high probability state). The high-probability state is a game state advantageous to the player because it is easier for the player to win a big win in the winning lottery than in the low-probability state. The high probability state is granted until the next big hit game is granted, for example.

In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment has a ball entry rate improving function. The ball entry rate improvement function provides a state (hereinafter referred to as "time saving state") in which the ball entry rate per unit time to the second start port 13 as a predetermined ball entry port is improved. It is a function that allows The time-saving state is a so-called "electric sapo state" or "high base state". In the time-saving state, the ball entry rate of the game ball per unit time to the second start port 13 is improved, so it is recommended to play the game with the right hand so that the game ball can easily enter the second start port 13. be done. On the other hand, in the state where the time saving state is not given, the ball entry rate of the game ball per unit time to the second start port 13 is lower than in the time saving state, so it is recommended to play the game with left hand hitting. . That is, the recommended firing area differs between the time saving state and the state where the time saving state is not provided. In addition, in the following description, the state which the time saving state is not provided may be shown as "non-time saving state." The non-time saving state is a so-called "non-electric support state" and "low base state". In this way, the ball entry rate improvement function changes the ball entry state from a non-time-saving state in which the ball entry rate per unit time to the second start port 13 as a predetermined ball entry port is low. It is a function to change to a time-saving state in which the ball entry rate of game balls per unit time to the second starting hole 13 as a ball hole is high.

The time saving state can be realized by executing one control arbitrarily selected from among the following four controls, or by executing a plurality of controls in combination. The first control is normal symbol variation time shortening control for shortening the variation time of the normal symbol variation game as compared to the non-time saving state. The second control is normal pattern probability variation control for varying the probability of winning a normal win in the normal win lottery (normal win probability) to a higher probability than in the non-time-saving state. The third control is opening time extension control for making the total opening time of the second starting port 13 based on the winning of the normal winning lottery in the normal symbol winning lottery longer than in the non-time saving state. In addition, the opening time extension control is a control to increase the number of times of opening the second start port 13 based on winning the normal winning lottery in the normal symbol winning lottery than in the non-time saving state, and the normal winning lottery in the symbol. It is preferable that it is at least one of the control of making one opening time of the second starting port 13 based on winning a normal hit longer than in the non-time saving state. The fourth control is a special symbol variation time shortening control that makes the variation time of the special game (for example, average variation time) more likely to be shorter than in the non-time saving state. When executing the variable time shortening control of the special symbol, the time saving state becomes a so-called "variable time shortening state".

The time saving state is provided, for example, until the next big hit game is provided, or after the time saving state is provided until the specified upper limit number of special games is executed. For example, the prescribed upper limit number of times is 100 times. In the case of the pachinko gaming machine 10 capable of executing the first special game and the second special game, the prescribed upper limit number of times is the total number of times of the first special game and the second special game. In the following description, the low probability state, and the game state that is a non-time saving state is indicated as "low probability non time saving state", the low probability state, and the game state that is a time saving state is indicated as "low probability time saving state" , A high probability state and a game state that is a time saving state may be indicated as a "high probability time saving state". In addition, the pachinko game machine 10 of this embodiment does not have a game state which is a high probability state and a non-time saving state.

In the pachinko game machine 10, a game state corresponding to the type of the jackpot pattern is provided after the jackpot game is finished. Specifically, after the end of the jackpot game based on the time-saving winning pattern, a low-probability time-saving state is given until the fluctuation game of the special pattern of the prescribed upper limit number of times is finished or the next jackpot game is given. be. On the other hand, after the jackpot game based on the variable probability winning pattern is finished, a high probability time-saving state is given until the next jackpot game is given. As described above, the low-probability short working hours state is a gaming state in which the probability variation function does not operate and the ball-entering rate improvement function operates. Further, the high-probability time-saving state is a gaming state in which both the probability variation function and the ball-entering rate improvement function operate. That is, since the probability variation function operates, the high-probability short-time state is a gaming state advantageous to the player as compared with the low-probability short-time state in which the probability variation function does not operate.

It corresponds to production control means.

Next, the processing (normal processing) performed by the main control CPU 30a of the main control board 30 for controlling the game will be described.
First, processing (input processing (receiving processing)) relating to the input of game ball detection signals from various sensors SE1, SE2, CS, GS, and TS will be described.

When the detection signal from the start sensor SE1 is input by the ball entering the first start port 12, the main control CPU 30a determines that the number of pending starts of the first special game is less than the upper limit number (4 in this embodiment). Determine if there is The main control CPU 30a newly suspends the execution of the first special game when the start suspension number of the first special symbols is less than the upper limit number. After that, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the number of pending starts of the first special game and rewrites it, and controls the pending display device 24a so as to display the number of pending starts after the addition. In this embodiment, the condition for suspending the first special game is established when the gaming ball is detected by the starting sensor SE1 when the number of pending starts of the first special game is less than the upper limit number.

Further, when the main control CPU 30a receives the detection signal from the start sensor SE2 due to the ball entering the second start port 13, the number of start suspensions of the second special game is the upper limit (4 in this embodiment). Determine if it is less than The main control CPU 30a newly suspends execution of the second special game when the number of start suspensions of the second special game is less than the upper limit number. After that, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the number of pending starts of the second special game and rewrites it, and controls the pending display device 24b so as to display the number of pending starts after the addition. In this embodiment, the second special game suspension condition is established when the game ball is detected by the start sensor SE2 when the start suspension number of the second special symbols is less than the upper limit number. Note that the main control CPU 30a does not add the number of pending starts when the number of pending starts has reached the upper limit. On the other hand, when the number of pending starts is added, the main control CPU 30a outputs to the sub-control CPU 31a a control command (such as a pending designation command) that can specify the number of pending starts after the addition. The sub-control CPU 31a, which has input a control command that can specify the number of pending starts, causes the effect display device 11 to display an image corresponding to the number of pending starts that can be specified from the information.

In addition, the main control CPU 30a acquires the value of various random numbers triggered by the entry of a game ball when the game ball enters the game ball with less than the upper limit of the start reservation number, and can specify the value of the acquired random number. The random number information is stored in the main control RAM 30c. The random number information may be composed of a random number value, or may be composed of information obtained by converting the random number value into other information that can specify the value. In addition, when storing random number information, the main control CPU 30a can specify whether it is the random number information for the first special game or the random number information for the second special game, and the order in which the random number information is stored. Random number information is stored such that When acquiring the value of the random number, the main control CPU 30a acquires the value of the winning random number from the random number generation circuit, and acquires the value of the jackpot symbol random number and the value of the main variation pattern distribution random number from the main control RAM 30c. .

Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs to the sub control CPU 31a a gate passage command capable of specifying that the game ball has passed through the operation gate 18 in the processing when the detection signal from the gate sensor GS is input. In addition, in the processing when the detection signal from the gate sensor GS is input, the main control CPU 30a stores the number of normal reservations (number of normal game) and acquires various random numbers used for normal winning lottery etc. I do. An upper limit number (4 in this embodiment) is defined for the number of ordinary reservations, similarly to the number of starting reservations for the first special game and the second special game. Therefore, when the normal reserved number is less than the upper limit number, the main control CPU 30a adds 1 to the normal reserved number and rewrites it, and the normal symbol reserved display device (not shown) is displayed so as to display the normal reserved number after addition. Control.

Further, the main control CPU 30a performs prize ball processing for paying out a predetermined number of prize balls in the processing when the detection signals from the start sensors SE1, SE2 and the count sensor CS are input. In the prize ball processing, a payout designation command (payout signal) to be output to a payout control board (not shown) provided in the pachinko gaming machine 10 is generated and output. The payout control board that receives the payout designation command operates a ball payout device (not shown) provided in the pachinko game machine 10 to pay out a predetermined number of game balls as prize balls.

Further, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the mounting frame Wb is opened based on the detection signal from the door opening sensor TS. When the loading frame Wb is released, the main control CPU 30a outputs control information (hereinafter referred to as a door open command) that can specify that the loading frame Wb has been released to the sub control CPU 31a. Further, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the mounting frame Wb is closed based on the detection signal from the door opening sensor TS. When the loading frame Wb is closed, the main control CPU 30a outputs to the sub control CPU 31a control information (hereinafter referred to as a door closing command) that can specify that the loading frame Wb is closed.

Next, the processing (special figure variation processing) relating to the execution of the special game for deriving the lottery result of the winning lottery will be described. It should be noted that the main control CPU 30a executes a special figure variation process every predetermined control cycle (for example, 4 ms).

In the special figure variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the conditions for starting the special game have been met. In this determination, the main control CPU 30a determines that the start condition is satisfied when the special game is not being executed and the jackpot game is not being played. It is determined that the start condition is not satisfied. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special figure variation processing when the start condition is not satisfied.

The main control CPU 30a reads the start pending number of the second special game and determines whether the read start pending number is greater than zero when the start condition described above is satisfied. Then, when the start pending number of the second special game is greater than zero, the main control CPU 30a performs a predetermined process to start the variation game of the second special symbol. On the other hand, when the number of pending starts of the second special game is zero, the main control CPU 30a reads the number of pending starts of the first special game, and determines whether the read number of pending starts is greater than zero. Then, when the start pending number of the first special game is greater than zero, the main control CPU 30a performs a predetermined process to start the first special symbol variation game.

The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment is designed to preferentially execute the second special symbol variation game without simultaneously executing the first special symbol variation game and the second special symbol variation game. In this embodiment, the condition for starting the variable game of the second special symbol is established when the condition for starting the variable game of special symbol is established and the start pending number of the second special game is greater than zero. . Further, the condition for starting the variable game of the first special symbol is that the condition for starting the variable game of the special symbol is satisfied, and the number of start suspensions of the second special game is zero, and the first special It holds when the number of pending game starts is greater than zero. When both the number of pending starts of the first special game and the number of pending starts of the second special game are zero, the main control CPU 30a controls to the standby state and can specify the standby state. A control command (hereinafter referred to as a standby command) is output to the sub control board 31 .

When starting the variation game of the second special symbol, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the start reservation number of the second special game and rewrites it, and controls the reservation display device 24b so as to display the start reservation number after the subtraction. Control. In addition, when the number of pending starts is subtracted, the main control CPU 30a outputs to the sub control board 31 a control command (such as a pending designation command) that can specify the number of pending starts after the subtraction.

Next, the main control CPU 30a acquires the first stored random number information among the random number information stored in the main control RAM 30c.
After acquiring the random number information, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the big hit random number and the big hit determination value, and performs a winning lottery. In the winning lottery, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the winning lottery (that is, the execution of the special figure variation process) is in a low probability state or a high probability state based on information that can specify the game state. Then, based on the determination result, it is determined whether or not a big win is achieved in a winning lottery with different winning probabilities.

In the winning lottery, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the value of the big hit random number obtained from the main control RAM 30c matches the big hit determination value. Then, when the value of the big-hit random number and the big-hit judgment value match, the big-hit is won in the lottery. When a big win is won in the winning lottery, the main control CPU 30a performs a big win process. Specifically, the main control CPU 30a determines the jackpot pattern of the special pattern based on the value of the jackpot pattern random number specified from the acquired random number information. The determined jackpot symbol is the fixed stop symbol derived in the special game. In addition, the jackpot pattern of the special pattern is associated with the type of jackpot. Therefore, determining the jackpot pattern means determining the type of jackpot.

In addition, the main control CPU 30a selects the main variation pattern from among the main variation patterns for the jackpot variation that can be selected when winning the jackpot based on the value of the main variation pattern distribution random number specified from the acquired random number information. decide.

In addition, the main control CPU 30a performs a loss process when the big win is not won in the winning lottery (in case of loss). In the losing process, the main control CPU 30a determines the winning symbols of the special symbols. This determined lost symbol becomes a fixed stop symbol derived in the special game. In addition, the main control CPU 30a determines the main variation pattern for the deviation variation based on the value of the main variation pattern distribution random number specified from the acquired random number information. When determining the main variation pattern for loss variation, the main control CPU 30a determines either the main variation pattern with reach or the main variation pattern without reach.

In addition, when starting the first special game, the main control CPU 30a performs the same control as the above-described control of the second special symbol for the first special symbol. That is, the main control CPU 30a performs subtraction of the number of pending starts of the first special game, a winning lottery, and a big win process or a losing process based on the results of the winning lottery. The winning lottery corresponds to a big winning lottery for determining whether or not to win the big winning lottery.

In addition, the main control CPU 30a generates a control command for instructing the sub-control CPU 31a of the sub-control board 31 to control the game effect based on the result of the above-described processing as a process related to the execution of the special game. conduct. Various control commands generated in this process are output to the sub-control CPU 31a at predetermined timings by the command output process performed by the main control CPU 30a.

When starting a special game, the main control CPU 30a generates, as a control command, a variable start command that can specify to start a variable game. The variation start command also includes information capable of specifying the main variation pattern determined in the above-described jackpot process or loss process. In addition, when starting a special game, the main control CPU 30a generates a special symbol command capable of specifying a special symbol as a control command. Since the jackpot pattern of the special pattern corresponds to the type of jackpot, the type of jackpot can be specified by the special pattern command. For this reason, the special figure command is also a control command that can identify the success or failure, and is also a control command that can identify the type of big hit.

In addition, when the elapsed time from the start of the special game reaches a predetermined variation time (the time specified in the main variation pattern), the main control CPU 30a specifies to end the variation game as a control command. Generate a possible floating stop command. In addition, when starting the special game, the main control CPU 30a controls the display contents of the special symbol display device 23a or the special symbol display device 23b so as to start the variation of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, Start measuring the variation time. Then, the main control CPU 30a changes the display contents of the special symbol display device 23a or the special symbol display device 23b so as to derive the determined special symbol when the variation time determined in the determined main variation pattern has elapsed. Control.

Next, a description will be given of the processing relating to the progress of the jackpot game which is performed when the jackpot is won in the jackpot lottery.
The jackpot game of this embodiment includes an opening accompanying the start of the jackpot game, a round game for opening the jackpot 14, and an ending accompanying the end of the jackpot game. In other words, the jackpot game progresses step by step like opening→round game→ending. Then, the main control CPU 30a performs, as processing related to the progress of the big win game, a big win information generation process of generating a control command for instructing the sub control CPU 31a of the sub control board 31 to control the game effect, and opening and closing the big winning hole. A jackpot game control process for closing is performed. In the jackpot information generation process, the main control CPU 30a generates an opening command that can specify the start of the opening along with the start of the opening, and outputs the command to the sub control board 31. FIG. At this time, the main control CPU 30a generates an opening command so that it is possible to specify whether the opening of the big hit game based on the time saving winning design has started and whether the opening of the big winning game based on the probability variation winning design has started.

In addition, in the jackpot information generation process, the main control CPU 30a generates a round command capable of specifying the start of each round game and outputs it to the sub control board 31 with the start of each round game. At this time, the main control CPU 30a generates a round command so that it is possible to specify how many round games the newly started round game is after the start of the jackpot game. Also, in the jackpot information generation process, the main control CPU 30 a generates an ending command that can specify the start of the ending and outputs it to the sub control board 31 with the start of the ending. At this time, the main control CPU 30a generates an opening command so that it is possible to specify whether the ending of the big hit game based on the time saving winning design is started and whether the ending of the big hit game based on the probability variation winning design is started. Various control commands generated in the jackpot information generation process are output to the sub-control CPU 31a at a predetermined timing by the command output process performed by the main control CPU 30a.

Thus, in this embodiment, when a big win is won in the winning lottery, a big win game is provided. That is, in this embodiment, a jackpot game is given according to the result of the winning lottery. A jackpot game is advantageous to the player because a large number of prize balls can be obtained.

Next, the processing relating to the game state will be described.
In this process, the main control CPU 30a generates a control command that can specify the game state as a control command, and outputs it to the sub control CPU 31a.

The main control CPU 30a generates a state designation command (hereinafter referred to as a state 1 designation command) that can specify that the gaming state is a low probability non-time saving state when the gaming state is a low probability non-time saving state. In addition, the main control CPU 30a generates a state designation command (hereinafter referred to as state 2 designation command) that can specify that the gaming state is the low probability time saving state when the game state is the low probability time saving state. In addition, the main control CPU 30a generates a state designation command (hereinafter referred to as state 3 designation command) that can specify that the gaming state is the high probability time saving state when the game state is the high probability time saving state.

In this embodiment, the state designation command is generated when power supply is started (at the time of initialization and at the time of power recovery) and at the time of game state transition. Also, the generated state designation command is output to the sub-control CPU 31a. For example, when the game state after the end of the jackpot game is set to a high probability time saving state, it is controlled to a high probability time saving state with the end of the jackpot game, and the state 3 designation command is output to the sub control CPU 31a. The state designation command is not limited to the illustrated control command, and may be set for each game state that needs to be recognized by the sub-control CPU 31a.

Next, a description will be given of a process (ordinary pattern variation process) relating to execution of a normal symbol variation game for deriving a lottery result of a normal winning lottery.
In the normal pattern variation process, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the conditions for starting the normal pattern variation game are satisfied. In this determination, the main control CPU 30a determines that the start condition for the normal symbol variation game is satisfied when the normal symbol variation game is not being executed and the normal symbol winning game is not being performed. When the variation game is being executed or the normal symbol winning game is in progress, it is determined that the start condition of the normal symbol variation game is not established. The main control CPU 30a ends the normal pattern variation process when the start condition of the normal symbol variation game is not satisfied.

The main control CPU 30a reads the normal reserved number and determines whether the read normal reserved number is greater than zero when the condition for starting the variable game of the normal symbols is satisfied. Then, when the number of normal reservations is greater than zero, the main control CPU 30a performs a predetermined process to start a normal symbol variation game. On the other hand, when the number of normal reservations is zero, the main control CPU 30a ends the normal pattern fluctuation process.

When starting a variable game of normal symbols, the main control CPU 30a subtracts 1 from the normal reserved number and rewrites it. Then, the main control CPU 30a acquires the first stored random number information among the random number information (normal winning random numbers) stored in the main control RAM 30c. Then, the main control CPU 30a compares the value of the normal hit random number specified from the acquired random number information with the normal hit determination value, and performs a normal hit lottery. The pachinko gaming machine 10 of this embodiment has a ball entry rate improving function. Therefore, when configured to execute the probability variation control of normal symbols in the state (time saving state) in which the ball entrance rate improvement function is operating, the main control CPU 30a in the normal winning lottery is in the time saving state at the time of the normal winning lottery. Ordinary winning lottery is performed with different winning probabilities depending on whether it is in a non-time-saving state.

In this embodiment, the winning probability in the non-time saving state is set to zero (normally no winning), and the winning probability in the time saving state is set to 100% (no loss). The winning probability of normal winning in the normal winning lottery can be defined by the ratio of the number of values (normal winning determination value) winning normal winning to the possible numerical values of normal winning random numbers.

Returning to the description of the normal pattern variation process, in the normal winning lottery, the main control CPU 30a determines whether the normal winning random number value obtained from the main control RAM 30c matches the normal winning determination value. When the normal hit random number value and the normal hit determination value match, the main control CPU 30a determines that the normal hit is won in the normal hit lottery. When a normal hit is won in the normal hit lottery, the main control CPU 30a performs a normal hit process. In the normal winning process, the main control CPU 30a determines the winning pattern of the normal symbols, and determines the variation pattern of the normal symbols that can specify the variation time of the variation game of the normal symbols. The determined winning symbol of the normal symbol becomes a fixed stop symbol derived in the variation game of the normal symbol. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a performs normal losing processing when the normal winning lottery is not won (in the case of loss). In the normal losing process, the main control CPU 30a determines the losing pattern of the normal symbols and also determines the variation pattern of the normal symbols. The determined out-of-the-normal symbols become fixed stop symbols derived in the variation game of the normal symbols.

Then, the main control CPU 30a causes the normal symbol display device 25 to execute the normal symbol variation game according to the determination result of the normal winning process or the normal losing process performed based on the result of the normal winning lottery, and the variation time. After the lapse of time, the winning pattern of the normal pattern or the losing pattern of the normal pattern is derived. In addition, when the normal winning lottery is won, the main control CPU 30a causes the normal winning game after the normal symbol variation game ends. In the normal winning game, by opening the second starting port 13 in a predetermined open mode, it is controlled to take the allowable state to allow the entry of the game ball.

In this manner, the main control CPU 30a performs control so that the second starting port 13 can be opened by the power of the actuator AC1 in the time saving state. On the other hand, the main control CPU 30a controls so that the second starting port 13 does not open in the non-time saving state. That is, the main control CPU 30a controls so that the second starting port 13 continues to be in the closed state (non-open state) in the non-time saving state. In addition, the main control CPU 30a may be controlled so that the second starting port 13 can be in the open state with a lower probability than in the time saving state in the non time saving state. That is, the main control CPU 30a may win a normal hit in the normal winning lottery with a probability lower than the winning probability during the non-time saving state and the time saving state.

In this embodiment, the identification information that constitutes the pattern combination is composed of a design imitating Arabic numerals. As a specific example, the identification information in each column is Arabic numerals [1] to [9]. As a result, the symbol combinations are, for example, combinations such as [111] with the same identification information for all columns, and combinations such as [479], [337], and [121] where the identification information for all columns are not the same. .

In this embodiment, the jackpot symbol combination is a symbol combination in which the identification information of all rows is the same. Also, the missing symbol combination is a symbol combination in which the identification information of all columns is not the same.

It's a combination. Further, among the missing symbol combinations, the missing symbol combination that does not include the ready-to-win formation pattern is a symbol combination from which identification information that is not identical to the ready-to-win formation row is derived. In this embodiment, in the effect pattern variation game, when the reach is formed by deriving the same identification information (stop display) in the reach formation row, the remaining rows (in this embodiment, one middle row) ) is derived (stop display).

A ready-to-win performance executed by the pachinko game machine 10 includes a normal ready-to-win performance and a super ready-to-win performance developed from the normal ready-to-win performance. The normal ready-to-win effect is an effect to derive (stop display) a symbol combination by deriving (stopping display) the effect symbols of the remaining rows (one row in the middle) after formation of the ready-to-win state. In the super reach production, the production patterns of the remaining rows are derived (stopped display) by the normal reach production, or the production is developed in the middle of the normal reach production, and the pattern combination is derived (stopped display) by the production after the development. is. The super reach performance is positioned as a performance with a high degree of expectation for a big hit compared to the normal reach performance. The degree of expectation of a big hit can be calculated by the ratio of the appearance rate of the big hit to the total appearance rate of the sum of the appearance rate of the losing case and the appearance rate of the big win.

For example, the first combined effect sound and the second combined effect sound may be the same. Also, for example, the first combined effect sound and the third combined effect sound may be the same. Also, for example, the second combined effect sound and the third combined effect sound may be the same.

- In each of the above-described embodiments, the lighting mode of the decorative lamp provided on the movable body may be changed arbitrarily. For example, the first light emission mode and the second light emission mode may be the same. Further, for example, the first light emission mode and the third light emission mode may be the same. Further, for example, the second light emission mode and the third light emission mode may be the same. Further, for example, among the movable bodies that constitute the combined effect, the decorative lamp provided on one movable body and the decorative lamp provided on the other movable body may be different. Further, for example, among the movable bodies different from the movable bodies that constitute the combined effect, the decorative lamp provided on one movable body and the decorative lamp provided on another movable body may be different. Further, for example, the lighting mode of the decorative lamp provided on the movable body that constitutes the combination effect may be different from the lighting mode of the decorative lamp provided on the movable body that is different from the movable body that constitutes the coalescing effect. . Even if the light emission mode of the decorative lamp provided on the movable body that constitutes the combination effect is different from the light emission mode of the decorative lamp provided on the movable body that is different from the movable body that constitutes the coalescence effect, the light emission is different. When the aspects are related, it can be said that they are common production elements.

- In each of the above-described embodiments, the combined effect is executed by the movable bodies having different effect positions in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the combination effect may be executed by movable bodies whose effect positions are the same in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, but whose effect positions are different in the front-rear direction. For example, it may be possible to execute a combination effect in which a movable body imitating the character "一" and a movable body imitating the character "人" form the character "大".

- In each of the above-described embodiments, it may be possible to notify the degree of expectation for a big hit by a coalescing effect. In this case, for example, by forming a character string such as "10%" by combining effects, it may be possible to directly report the degree of expectation for a big hit.

・In each of the above embodiments, if an abnormal movement of the movable body occurs during execution of the combination effect, the movement of the movable body in motion may be terminated, and the movable body in motion may be moved to its original position. You may do so. Further, when an abnormality occurs in which the mounting frame Wb is opened during the execution of the third combination effect, the operation of the fourth movable body K4 may be terminated, and the fourth movable body K4 is returned to the original position PG4. It may be made to operate.

- In each of the above embodiments, it may be possible to detect another abnormality in addition to or in place of the operation abnormality of the movable body and the opening of the mounting frame Wb. In this case, it may be possible to execute an effect of suggesting or notifying that another abnormality has occurred, triggered by the detection of another abnormality.

- In each of the above embodiments, after a predetermined abnormality occurs during execution of a predetermined combination effect, another combination effect may be executed during execution of an abnormality notification effect corresponding to the abnormality. That is, when a predetermined abnormality notification effect is executed while a predetermined combination effect is being executed, another combination effect may be executed during the execution of the predetermined abnormality notification effect. For example, by making the performance time of a predetermined abnormality notification performance longer than the time from the end of a predetermined combination performance to the start of another combination performance, a predetermined abnormality notification is issued during execution of a predetermined combination performance. When the effect is executed, another combination effect may be executed while the predetermined abnormality notification effect is being executed. When configured in this way, when a predetermined abnormality notification effect is executed during execution of a predetermined combination effect, and when another combination effect is executed during execution of the predetermined abnormality notification effect, a predetermined The motion of the same effect body can be restricted in the combined effect of the above and another combined effect. Further, during execution of a predetermined combination effect, when a predetermined abnormality notification effect is executed, and when another combination effect is executed during execution of the predetermined abnormality notification effect, the predetermined combination effect is different. A common production element can be restricted with the combination production of .

- In each of the above-described embodiments, the first to fourth specified times used for detecting the abnormal operation of the first movable body K1 to the fourth movable body K4 are the same, but this is not the only option. For example, the specified time used for detecting the motion abnormality of the movable body may be determined according to the motion mode of the movable body. In this case, it is preferable that the specified time is determined according to the length of the distance from the predetermined performance position to the original position. That is, it is preferable that the longer the distance from the predetermined performance position to the original position, the longer the prescribed time.

- The game part may be arranged so as to restrict the entry of the ball into the first start hole 12 when hitting to the right, and when hitting to the right, the first start is higher than when hitting to the left. It may be arranged so that it is difficult for the ball to enter the mouth 12 (to make the probability of the ball entering the mouth extremely low).
