Abstract

A PACHINKO MACHINE HAS A PLURALITY OF PATTERN DISPLAY WHICH START VARIABLE DISPLAY OF PIECES OF PATTERN DATA WHEN A PACHINKO BALL FALLS INTO A SPECIFIC WIN HOLE. A JUDGING MEANS JUDGES A COMBINATION OF THE DISPLAYED PIECES OF PATTERN DATA WHICH IS DETERMINED WHEN THE VARIABLE DISPLAY OPERATION IS SUSPENDED. A VARIABLE CATCHER IS ACTIVATED TO EXECUTE A GRAND BONUS PROCESSING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE JUDGEMENT MADE BY THE JUDGING MEANS SO THAT A BATTED PACHINKO BALL CAN ENTER A RELATIVELY LARGE WIN HOLE.WHEN A PACHINKO BALL ENTERING THE LARGE WIN HOLE FALLS INTO AN ORDINARY WIN HOLE PROVIDED IN THE LARGE WIN HOLE , AN ORDINARY WIN PROCESSING IS EXECUTED. THE GRAND BONUS PROCESSING TERMINATES AFTER A PREDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME HAS ELAPSED OR A NUMBER OF PACHINKO BALLS ENTERING LARGE WIN HOLE HAS REACHED A PREDETERMINED VALUE. ON THE OTHER HAND, WHEN A PACHINKO BALL ENTERING THE LARGE WINHOLE FALLS INTO A CONTINUATIVE WIN HOLE PROVIDED IN THE LARGE WIN HOLE, THE GRAND BONUS PROCESSING IS REPEATED ONCE MORE. THEREFORE, EVERY TIME THE VARIABLE CATCHER IS ACTIVATED, THE PLAYER CAN ENJOY A CONSIDERABLY LARGE CHANGE IN THE GAME AND EXPECT THAT HE WILL WIN A LARGE NUMBER OF BALLS OWING TO THE INCREASED WINNING PROBABILITY. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS POSSIBLE TO ENCOURAGE THE PLAYER TO PLAY THE PACHINKO AND ENABLE HIM TO ENJOY A GAME WHICH IS FULL OF VARIETY. (FIG.1)
