The rotation of 35 causes the drive control unit G ₃ to operate the pulse feeding device 75 at an appropriate timing based on the pulse output control. That is, as schematically shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 31, the touch detection condition of the touch sensing ring 141 and the detection condition of the switch 139 by the protrusion return of the operation piece 140 released from the operation lever 135 are defined by the drive control unit G ₃ . Based on the input to each part of the circuit board 164,
By the first pulse P ₁ output from the pulse output unit 4 of 4, the electromagnetic solenoid 78 of the ball feeding device 75 is excited and operated in units of one ball to activate the ball feeding body 79. On the other hand, in addition to the above-mentioned two detection conditions, the volume adjustment condition of the variable resistor 137 according to the operation amount of the operation lever 135 is input to the circuit board 164. By the pulse (pulse whose duty ratio is adjusted for each cycle (S)) P ₂ , the hit ball drive unit G ₂
The rotary solenoid 152 is excited and driven in units of one ball to operate the ball 154.

As a result, the game ball is sent to the launch position of the launch rail 20 by the ball feeding operation for each ball described above and seated, and the game ball is launched by the ball hitting operation in synchronism with this. It is driven into the board H. After that, based on the similar ball feeding and hitting operation, the game balls are continuously hit at regular intervals to continue the pachinko game.
However, regarding the pulse output control in the drive control section G ₃ described above, the first pulse P ₁ related to the ball feeding operation and the second pulse P ₂ related to the ball hitting operation in which the timing (time difference) is appropriately adjusted. In addition, basic 1 cycle S for each ball unit
Is set as control. Based on this pulse setting,
The ball feeding / ball hitting operation for each ball is reliably stabilized, and the switch 139 is turned ON / OFF via the operation piece 140 at appropriate times while the operation lever 135 is rotationally held.
By switching to the conditions, it is possible to hit the game ball on a one-shot basis based on the ball feeding / striking operation that matches the switching conditions. The adjustment operation of the adjustment tool 174 of the circuit board 164 is accompanied by a constant change based on the volume adjustment of the variable resistor of the tool 174, and as a result, the duty ratio adjustment is performed as in the case illustrated in FIG. Thus, the exciting force (ball flying force) of the rotary solenoid 152 is adjusted and set.

As described above, according to the upper ball tray in the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, the standard type gaming machine without the ball lending section and the ball lending type gaming machine with the ball lending section are provided. On the other hand, it can be easily dealt with only by changing the auxiliary member constituting the upper ball tray. In other words, since all the members other than the auxiliary members constituting the upper ball saucer can be made common, it is not necessary to manufacture a completely different upper ball saucer, the cost can be reduced in manufacturing the gaming machine, and the production plan can be easily established. . Then, for example, the game machine installed in the game hall as a standard type can be made into a ball lending type game machine only by changing the auxiliary member, and vice versa.
