5 counts the ball detection signals from the detection devices 54+ to 5416, and the CPU 40 sequentially takes in and stores each count value of the counters 411 to 4115. The ball detection switch 55 is a switch that detects the presence or absence of pachinko balls in the tray 22, for example, and is attached to the tray 22. Confirmation circuit 5
0 indicates that a detection signal is input from the ball detection switch 55 or that any one of the counters 411 to 4115 is performing a counting operation, that is, there are pachinko balls in the saucer 22 or that the handle 25 is being operated. After confirming this, the operation of the pachinko game machine 20 is detected. CPU 40 is ROM
The input signal is processed and the output signal is output using the RAM 42 according to the program in the confirmation circuit 50, and the operation recognition device 46 is activated by a signal from the confirmation circuit 50. Further, the CPU 40 determines from the count values of the counters 411 to 4114 that the pachinko balls have entered the safe holes 1 to 14, and operates the prize ball device drive circuit 44, and the prize ball device drive circuit 44 activates the prize ball ejecting device 27. is driven to eject the prize ball, and at the same time, the light emitting acoustic display device 54A is driven to display the ejection of the prize ball, and the accessory drive device 61 is further activated to drive the electric accessory object 62. The electric accessory 62 is a tulip or an accessory game machine, and the accessory game machine operation determination device 51 determines whether the operation conditions of the accessory game machine are satisfied or not.

40 to perform processing such as changing the set value of the prize ball counter 5B. The CPU 40 sets the set number of prize balls in the prize ball counter 5B, and the number of pachinko balls ejected from the prize ball ejecting device 27 is counted by the prize ball ejected ball counter 65, and the counted value is sent to the prize ball top comparison circuit. In step 47, it is compared with the set value of the prize ball counter 58.

When the count value of the prize ball ejected ball counter 65 is greater than the pupil of the prize ball counter 58, the output signal of the prize ball top comparison circuit 47 causes the abnormality display device 54B and the light emitting/acoustic display device @65
