Description of the invention [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to games with optical decorative means @ [prior art] So-called street games at commercial facilities such as game shops, etc. To attract players, Decorative effects and eye catch effects are indispensable. Therefore, in the past, various unique decorative objects have been added to game machines. [Summary of the Invention] [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in order to ensure the stability of the frame of the game machine, there are certain restrictions on the size or arrangement of the decoration. Especially with regard to the height direction, there may be a lot of restrictions due to the height of the ceiling of the game storefront or the entrance. In addition, facilities with high ceilings have also been increased. In such facilities, the game enclosures appear relatively small, which impairs the effects of the device or eye-catching effects. Therefore, the present invention is to provide a gaming machine which can fully utilize the upper side of the housing as a decorative space. [Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention solves the problems described above by the following means. The game machine of the present invention includes: a frame body; a frame provided to protrude obliquely from the upper surface of the frame body; a screen mounted on the frame 200534903 (2) frame; and a predetermined image projected toward the screen Means of projection. This solves the above problems. According to this invention, by setting a screen on the top of the frame to project an image, various images, patterns, patterns, and the like can be displayed on the screen to improve the decorative effect and eye-catching effect of the game machine. The simple structure of mounting the screen to the frame allows it to be made lighter than movable structures. Therefore, even if the area is increased, the center of gravity of the frame can be kept low, and the frame can be sufficiently secured. The stability. In addition, since the structure is simple and lightweight, even when the frame or the screen is hindered when it is moved into the store, it is easy to remove these components from the frame, and the frame or screen is installed after the inflow to bring out the original Decorative or eye-catching effects. In the present invention, the screen may be arranged so that the frame protrudes toward the front of the frame and obliquely upwards, and the projection means is provided at the lower portion of the front side of the frame and the projection direction is set upward. In this case, a sufficient distance can be ensured between the projection means and the screen, and a large image can be projected through the screen. In the present invention, it is also possible to arrange a sub-unit that can be separated by the frame on the front side of the frame. The sub-unit surrounds the projection means and does not overlap the light path of the projection means. By disposing such a sub-unit, it is possible to make the sub-unit function as a protection means for preventing players or the like from entering the light path of the projection means. In the game machine of the present invention, a frame supporting means for supporting the frame may be provided on the upper surface of the frame in a state where the inclination to the horizontal plane can be changed. By changing the tilt of the frame, the height of the screen can be adjusted in accordance with the height of the ceiling where the game machine is installed -6- (3) (3) 200534903 or the height of the front of the entrance. It can also be made that the frame supporting means includes: a frame supporting plate mounted on the upper surface of the frame body in a state standing upright and parallel to the front-rear direction of the frame body; and in a state where the tilt to the horizontal plane can be changed The lower end of the vertical frame constituting the frame is attached to the frame base of the frame supporting plate, and the hollow frame is inserted into the cavity between the light supporting plate and the frame base to support the frame on the frame. With this configuration, the frame can be mounted on the frame body at various angles only by changing the tilt of the frame base to the frame support plate. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, various images can be displayed on the screen arranged on the upper surface of the housing, thereby improving the effect and eye-catching effect of the game machine. Since the structure is simple and easy to reduce weight, it can not only increase the surface of the screen to improve the decoration effect, etc., but also suppress the center of gravity of the frame to be low, which can fully ensure the stability of the frame. In addition, since the structure is simple and lightweight, even when the frame or the screen is hindered when it is moved into the store, it is easy to remove these components from the frame, and the frame or screen is installed after the move in to bring out the original Decorative effect or eye-catching effect [Embodiment] Figs. 1 to 3 show one form of a game machine to which the present invention is applied. Fig. -7- (4) (4) 200534903 1 is a front view, Fig. 2 is a plan view, and Fig. 3 is Right side view. From these figures, it can be seen that the game machine 1 is a commercial facility set in a game shop or the like, and constitutes a commercial game machine (so-called street game machine) that provides games within a predetermined range as a reward for consumption based on the player's economic price. , Including a main element 2; and three sub-elements 3 respectively arranged at the center of the front, the right of the front, and the left of the front of the main element 2. Each of the sub-elements 3 can be separated by the main element 2 and placed in an appropriate position. The consumption of the economical price 游戏 of the gaming machine 1 is performed by inserting coins into the sub-component 3. (Structure of main element) As shown in Figs. 4 to 6, the main element 2 is a frame 5 having a floor which can be erected on a store or the like. The casing 5 is made of wood or a resin material in the same manner as a general game machine. A screen 6 is provided on the front left side of the casing 5, and a lottery machine 7 is provided on the right side of the screen 6. The screen 6 is preferably a large display such as a liquid crystal projector or a plasma display. Of course, LCD monitors and CR T can also be used as camp screens. The lottery machine 7 will be described later. In order to improve the decorative effect of the game machine 1, a frame 5 of the main component 2 is provided with various decorative objects. For example, an ornament 8 is provided further outside the screen 6 and the lottery 7. Similarly, in order to improve the decorative effect of the game machine 1, a sail-shaped ornament 10 is provided on the upper surface 5a of the frame 5. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the sail-shaped ornament 10 is provided with a frame 11 and a screen 12 stretched on the surface of the frame 11. Frame 1 1 is composed of a plurality of vertical frames] 3 and horizontal frames 1 4. On the one hand, the screen 12 is constituted by, for example, a plastic cloth on a white background or -8-(5) (5) 200534903 canvas. The screens 12 and 12 are fixed to the surface of the frame 11 in such a manner as to cause a moderate slack between the vertical frames 13. Various methods can be used for the fixing operation of the screen 12. On the leading edge of the upper face 5 a of the frame body 5, a lower cover 5 b for hiding the sail-shaped ornament 10 is fixed. A plurality of frames are arranged on the inner side of the cover 5 b along the left-right direction of the frame body 5 (left-right direction in FIG. 1), and are arranged in a vertical plane with the front-back direction of the frame body 5. Support plate 1 5. These frame supporting plates 15 are fixed to the upper surface 5a and the cover 5b of the frame 5 by bolts 16 respectively. Frame holders 17 are attached to the respective frame support plates 15. In addition, in FIG. 6, regarding the two frame support plates 15 in front of the front, the frame base 17 is hidden on the back side and cannot be seen. As shown in detail in FIG. 7, the frame base 17 is structured such that one side of a cylindrical body having a quadrangular cross-section is opened, and flanges 1 7 a are provided on both edges of the opening (only shown in FIG. 7). One side). The frame base 17 is fixed to the frame support plate 15 by screwing a bolt 18 attached to the flange 17a to the frame support plate 15. The machine frame base 17 and the frame support plate 15 are combined to generate an elongated hollow portion between the frame support plate 15 and the frame base 17. The lower end portion of the vertical frame 13 is inserted into the hollow portion. The sail-shaped ornament is attached to the housing 5 in a state where the sail-shaped ornament is inclined to protrude toward the front side of the gaming machine 1 as it goes upward. The frame supporting plate 15 is provided with a plurality of screw holes 19 into which bolts 18 mounted on the lower end side of the frame base 17 are screwed. These screw holes 19 are arranged along a circular arc with a constant curvature radius around a fulcrum set on the upper end side of the frame base 17. Also, although not shown, the screw holes corresponding to the bolts 18 mounted on the upper end side of the frame holder -9- (6) (6) 200534903 1 7 also have a constant radius of curvature along the center of the fulcrum. Arcs are configured. However, regarding the upper end side, one of the screw holes may be used as a fulcrum for changing the inclination angle of the frame base 17. Therefore, by changing the screw holes 19 through which the bolts 18 are screwed, the inclination angle of the frame base 17 can be changed, whereby the inclination angle of the sail-shaped ornament 10 can be changed. When the vertical frame 13 is taken out of the frame base 17, the sail-shaped ornament 10 can be separated by the frame 5. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, a light box 20 is provided at the lower end of the front side of the frame 5. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the light box 20 has a closed cabinet 2 1, which can be separated from the frame 5. The upper surface 2 1 a of the cabinet 21 is inclined obliquely, and a transparent panel 22 is provided in a part of the entire area in the width direction of the light box 20 (equivalent to the left-right direction of the frame 5). Inside the cabinet 21, a projection device 23 is arranged opposite to the transparent panel 22. The projection device 23 is used to project a pattern or the like printed on the slider 24 by the illumination light from the light source 25, and its projection direction is set to the vertical direction. As can be seen in FIG. 5, the light box 20 is such that the transparent panel 22 is located directly below the sail-shaped ornament 10 and is disposed on the front side of the frame 5. Thereby, the screen 12 of the sail-shaped ornament 10 can receive the illumination light of the projection device 23, and an image such as a pattern of the slider 24 can be projected on the screen 12. Figure 10 shows an example. Furthermore, the image projected on the screen 12 may be a still image or an animated image. It is also possible to omit the slider 24 to change the color or pattern of the illumination light from the light source 25, and perform a live performance on the screen 12. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, when the sub-elements 3 are arranged around the frame 5, the positions of the sub-elements 3 are set so that they do not overlap -10-200534903 (7) by projection Device 2 3 to screen] 2 light path. Then, the surroundings of the light box 20 are surrounded by the sub-elements 3, and there is no possibility that the player or the like enters the light path from the projection device 23 to the screen 12. Figures 11 and 12 show important parts of the lottery machine 7. As shown in FIG. Η, the lottery machine 7 includes: a cabinet 30; a drum 3 1 disposed on the front side of the cabinet 30 in a state that can be rotated around an axis in the front-rear direction; and an indicator 32. Around the indicator 32, a ball path 33 is provided. As shown in Fig. 10, the surface of the drum 31 is divided into 8 equal parts in the circumferential direction, and numbers 1 to 8 are displayed in each area. Further, as shown in FIG. 12, a ball input mechanism 34, a drum driving motor 35, an indicator driving mechanism 36, and a ball recovery mechanism 37 are provided inside the cabinet 30. The ball input mechanism 3 4 responds to the input command given to the lottery machine 7 by the control system of the game machine 1 and puts the lottery ball B (refer to FIG. 1 1) into the ball path 33. The drum driving motor 35 drives the drum 31 to rotate around its axis. The indicator driving mechanism 3 6 monitors whether or not the ball B has been put into the bag 3 8 which is continuously provided with the ball path 3 3 directly below the drum 31. When it is detected that the ball B is put into the bag 3 8, then In response to this, the indicator 3 2 is moved from the standby position P 1 which is tilted to a horizontal position shown in FIG. 11 to the operating position P 2 which is vertically erected. The pointer 32 has a needle shape at the front end, and can selectively indicate one of the areas on the drum 31 at the operating position P2. The ball B put into the bag 38 is guided to the ball recovery mechanism 37 through the catheter 39. The ball recovery mechanism 37 is used to return the ball B to the ball input mechanism 34. For example, a toothed belt 3 7a traveling up and down is used to transport the ball B conveyed by the duct 39 to the vertical upward direction. Upper end of belt 3 7 a-11-200534903 (8) Return the ball position to the ball holding unit 34a of the ball throwing mechanism h. 〇 The pump 7 as described above is selected to be installed on the roller 3 丨 1 If one of them is set to 8 or more, its function is expressed as follows. First, when the lottery machine 7 is given a lottery start instruction by the control system of the gaming machine 1, 'the drum drive motor 35 is driven in response to the action, and the drum 3 1 starts to rotate'. At the time, the ball B is thrown into the ball path 33. When the thrown ball b reaches the bag 38, it means that the unfavorable driving mechanism 36 is driven to drive the indicator 3 2 toward the actuating position P 2. At the same time, the roller 3 1 also seems to receive the indicator. The roller driving motor 3 5 is stopped as it is pressed and stopped by 3 2. After the drum 3 is stopped, the rotation position of the drum driving motor 35 (eg, detected by the encoder) is the number indicated by the front end of the specific indicator 32, so that any number from 1 to 8 is selected by lot. The number selected is determined. The ball B of the bag 38 is ready for the next lottery, and the ball recovery mechanism 37 will return. The front side of the lottery machine 7 is covered with a transparent cover to prevent the ball B from flying out. It is also possible to change the probability of drawing by changing the time relationship between the time when the ball reaches the bag 38 and the time when the drum 31 stops within a range that the player will not find. Such operations can be used, for example, to adjust the payout rate. If the lottery machine 7 is capable of selecting any number, it is not limited to the above-mentioned structure, and the structure can be appropriately changed. (Structure of Sub-Element) Next, the sub-element 3 will be described with reference to FIG. 3. In addition, since the structures of the sub-elements 3 of 3 -12-200534903 (9) are equal to each other ', the following description will be made on the sub-element 3 of one unit. As shown in FIGS. 13 to 16, in the sub-element 3, the two left and right stations 40 are gathered on a single frame 41. Station 40 refers to the smallest unit where the player plays the game. As can be seen with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3, the height of the frame 41 of the sub-element 3 is restricted so as not to cover the screen 6 of the main element 2 or important parts of the lottery 7 (including the drum 3 1 and the ball bag 3 8 ). A coin funnel device (not shown) for holding and paying coins is provided inside the casing 41. As shown in Figs. 13 to 16, a game space 42 is provided on the upper portion of the casing 41. A game board surface 43 is configured for each station 40 on the bottom surface side of the game space 42. The game board surface 43 will be described in detail later. Between the game board surfaces 43 are disposed coin payout devices 44 shared by the stations 40. In order to prevent players from entering the game board surface 43, the game space 42 is covered by a transparent cover 45 (shown opaquely in FIGS. 14 to 16). A control panel 46 is provided on the front side of the housing 41. The control panel 46 is provided with a pair of left and right coin acceptors 47 for each station 40. The coin acceptor 47 is used to roll the coin as a game medium in a vertical state, and the front end thereof is inserted into the game space 42 through a cover 45. Since the coin insertion direction can be adjusted according to the player's will, the coin inserter 47 can adjust its direction at least for the left and right directions. As such a coin dispenser 47, a conventional coin ejector conventionally used in a so-called push-in game may be used. On the control panel 46, a push-button operation switch 48 is provided at each station 40. The operation switches 4 8 are performed by the operator for the purpose of instructing the player to input the time point of the ball B of the lottery machine 7. Of course, it is also possible to set the operation switch 4 8 for purposes other than -13- 200534903 (10). Also, on the control panel 46, a coin tray 50 is provided for each station 40. The coin tray 50 is set as a payment place for coins obtained by the player. Figures 17 and 18 show detailed descriptions of the coin holder 50. The coin tray 50 is formed by sheet metal processing of a metal material such as a stainless steel plate. The coin tray 50 has a rectangular bottom wall 51, a front wall 52, side walls 53, 54 and a rear wall 55 arranged on the periphery. The side walls 53 and 54 are provided with flanges 53a and 54a for attaching the coin holder 50 to the frame 41, respectively. A folded-back portion 52a is formed at the upper end of the front wall 52 toward the outside. In order to make it possible for the player to take out a coin, the upper side of the coin holder 50 is opened, and the height of the front wall 52 is also set sufficiently lower than the other walls 5 3 to 5 5. Among them, as shown in FIG. 18, the front wall 52 has a function of preventing the hard coin M from falling toward the front of the coin holder 50, and holding the coin M in an overlapping state on the bottom wall 51. Therefore, the height of the front wall 52 is preferably set as large as possible within a range that does not prevent the withdrawal of the coin M. However, when the bottom wall 51 has a sufficient area, there are cases where the front wall 52 is not necessarily required. The bottom wall 51 is given a tilt to the front protrusion and the front wall 52 is omitted. On the left wall 53, a long and narrow slit-shaped coin payment port 5 3 b is provided in the up and down direction to pay the coin M into the coin receiving plate 50. The coin payment port is closer than the front wall 5 2 Wall 5 5 sides. On the upper end 'of the rear wall 5 5 is provided an L-shaped cover 56 which is extended to cover the coin payout port 53b. Further, a rear wall 55 is provided with a substantially full length -14- 200534903 (11) protruding portion 57 that extends in the width direction of the coin holder 50 (the direction orthogonal to the paper surface in FIG. 8). The protruding portion 57 is arranged between the bottom wall 51 and the bottom wall 51 so as to create a space for receiving the coin M. The protruding portion 57 is farther upward than the bottom wall 51. In addition, the protruding portion 57 is formed in a tapered shape which becomes narrower in the up-down direction as the bottom portion joined to the rear wall 55 is directed toward the front end. Such a protruding portion 57 is provided by bending a plate material into a V shape and joining it to the rear wall 55. Among them, the protruding portions 57 can be formed by various methods such as material extraction and casting. The position of the protruding portion 57 is set directly below the coin payout port 53b, and the front end thereof is substantially coincident with the front end of the cover '56. The position of the lower end of the protruding portion 57 is substantially coincident with the upper end of the front wall 52. Further, between the bottom wall 51 and the protruding portion 57, a curved wall 58 having an arc-shaped cross section is provided. According to the coin holder 50 described above, the coin M from the coin payment port 5 3 b to the duplicate coin holder 50 is dropped and overlapped on the bottom wall 51 while being guided by the protrusion 5 7. . Since the protruding portion 57 is provided on the rear wall 55, the coin M is shown in the imaginary line M 'of FIG. Therefore, as shown by the imaginary line M ′ in FIG. 18, a pile of coins M stacked on the bottom wall 51 is formed by the apex portion of the coin M toward the front and back direction of the coin tray 50 (left-right direction in FIG. 18) Evenly expanding, even if the player does not take any action, coins are not easily blocked around the coin payout port 5 3 b, and a large number of coins M can be accumulated in the coin tray 50. If the protrusions 57 do not exist, the coins M leaning against the rear wall 55 are stacked in this state. As a result, as shown by the imaginary line L2, the coins M form a downward slope from the rear wall 55 to the front wall 52. They are stacked in such a way that the periphery of the coin payout port 5 3 b is blocked early. Therefore, the number of coins M accumulated in the coin tray 50 without the player's correction is smaller than the coin tray of the benzene embodiment -15- (12) (12) 200534903 50. Next, the game board surface 43 will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 19 to 31. Furthermore, since the structure of each game board surface 43 is common, one game board surface 43 will be described below. As shown in FIG. 19, the game board surface 43 is provided from the upstream side (relative to the deep side) of the flow direction of the coin to the downward side (front side): the screen 60, the coin payment port 61, the upper table 62, and coins The guide device 63, the verifier 64, and the lower table 65. The screen 60 is set as a display means for executing games or performing various performances at stations 40. The coin payment slot 61 is arranged directly below the screen 60. The coins sent out to the coin guide 66 from the coin funnel device in the frame 41 are paid from the coin payout port 6 1 toward the upper table 6 2. The upper table 62 is provided so as to be movable between a horizontal position shown by a solid line in the figure and an operating position that is lifted upward with the front edge 62a as a fulcrum as shown by the imaginary line in the figure. Figures 20 to 24 show the parts from the upper table 62 to the lower table 6 5 in detail. Above the lower table 65, a coin guide plate 67 is provided. The coin guide plates 67 are transparent, and two coin guide plates 67 are provided on each station 40 so as to form a 1: 1 correspondence relationship with the coin dispenser 47. In FIGS. 20 and 21, only the coin guide plate 67 corresponding to the coin acceptor 47 on the right side is shown. As can be seen from Figs. 22 and 24, the coin guide plate 67 is provided with a downward slope toward the deep side of the game board surface 43 (the side where the screen 60 is provided) and the center side in the left-right direction. The coin M inserted by the coin inserter 47 is changed toward the center according to the gradient of the coin guide plate 67, while rolling on the coin guide plate 67 and dropped onto the coin guide device 63. The coin guide device 63 guides the coin M to the checker 64 while aligning the direction of the coin M with the direction of the front and back of the game board 43-(13) (13) 200534903. The detailed description is as described later. Checker 64 series It is fixed to a certain position on the game board surface 43, and a plurality of slit-shaped coin passage holes 64a are provided on the upper surface side. The coin passage hole 64a extends in the front-rear direction of the game board surface 43. The coins M dropped from the coin guide device 63 to the verifier 64 can be divided into those who pass through the coin passage hole 64a and those who have not passed the coin passage hole 64a. The coin M passing through the coin passage hole 64a is taken into the inside of the verifier 64 'and returned to the inside of the coin funnel of the housing 41. On the one hand, the coin M which has not passed through the coin passage hole 64a falls to the lower table 65. Although the drawing is omitted, most of the coins in the lower table 65 are stacked horizontally. On the deep side of the lower table 65, a thruster 68 is provided. As shown in FIG. 23, the propeller 68 is supported on the lower table 65 through rollers 69 disposed in front and rear of the propeller 68. Thereby, the thruster 6 8 series can reciprocate forward and backward along the lower table 6 5. Figs. 19 to 24 show the backward state of the propeller 68. With a thruster driving mechanism (not shown), the thruster 68 is driven between a position shown in the figure and a position protruding further forward than that position. As the pusher driving mechanism, for example, a mechanism that converts the rotation of the motor into a reciprocating motion of the pusher 68 by a slider crank mechanism, various mechanisms used in conventional push game machines are used. With the pusher 68 moving back and forth back and forth, the falling coins collide with the lower table 65, and a billiard effect is generated between the coins on the lower table 65, and according to the degree of the billiard effect, the coins are moved forward by the lower table 65. The edge 65a or the side edge 65b (see FIG. 20) falls. The fallen coins were recovered to the coin hopper device as shown in (17) (2005) 903903. The coin is detected by the coin drop sensor of the leading edge 6 5 a, and the coin hopper device pays a considerable amount of coins to the coin tray 50. Next, the coin guide 63 will be described in detail with reference to Figs. As shown in Fig. 25, the coin guide device 63 is provided with a guide mechanism 71 for driving the guide block 70. 29 to 31 show the guide block 70. The guide block 70 is connected to a common bottom plate 72, and a plurality of guide members 73 (10 guide members 73 in the figure) are arranged at equal intervals. The coin guide member 73 has a rectangular parallelepiped at the lower part and a semi-cylindrical shape on the side. A resin molded product of the coin receiving surface 7 3 a. The synthetic resin of the coin guide member 7 3 needs moderate friction resistance with respect to the friction of the coin. For example, P 0 M can be ideally used as the material of the hard member 73. The top of the coin guide member 73 is provided with 73b. The protrusion 73b extends along the front and back direction of the game disk surface 43 along the axis of the coin receiving surface 73a. The protrusion 73b is provided to restrict the front and back direction of the game disk surface 43. The second half of the coin guide 7 3. The coin guide members 7 3 on the bottom plate 7 2 are provided with a gap 7 4 with each other. These gaps 7 4 are slightly larger than the thickness of the coin 7 4. In the embodiment, the gap 74 is gradually enlarged closer to the checker 64. This is because when a plurality of hard grounds fall to the gap 74, coins are not blocked in the gap 74; as shown in FIG. 30 and FIG. 31, each The coin guide member 73 is attached with a screw 75, The lower side of 72 is mounted individually. Therefore, when the fixed coin guide member 73 is soiled or damaged, the detection guide device 70 is not shown, and the details are fixed. There are protrusions that guide the range between the leading members. The gap is accompanied by coins. With security, only the coin guide member 73 of -18-(15) (15) 200534903 was removed from the bottom plate 72 for replacement. A base 76 is mounted below the bottom plate 72. The base 76 includes a support portion 7 6 a that supports the guide block 70 and a connection portion 7 6 b that extends rearward from the support portion 7 6 a. The supporting portion 76a is inclined downward toward the connecting portion 76b, and is inclined at the bottom plate 72 so as to form a downward slope toward the verifier 64, and the coin guide member 73 is also inclined so that the rear end portion 73c is more toward The tip portion 73d becomes lower gradually. As shown in FIGS. 25 to 28, the base frame 77 includes a base frame 77 fixed to the frame body 41, a slider 79 supported on the base frame 77 and supported by a pair of guide rails 78 in a left-right direction, and a slider. Motor 80 of the driving source of block 79. The rear end of the slider 79 is folded back downward, and a guide plate 81 is attached to the folded-back portion. The guide plate 81 is formed with a guide groove 81a extending in the vertical direction.

A crank pin 83 is mounted on the front end of the crank arm 82. The front end of the crank pin 83 is inserted into the guide groove 81a of the guide plate 81. A guide block 70 is arranged above the base frame 77, and the connecting portion 76b of the base 76 is connected to the slider 79. Therefore, when the output shaft 80a of the motor 80 is rotated in a certain direction, the movement will be subject to the reciprocating movement of the crank pin 8 3 and the guide plate 81 to the left and right directions of the slider 7 9. The guide block 70 connected to the seat 76 reciprocates in the left-right direction. As shown in Fig. 26, the gap 74 between the coin guide members 73 provided in the guide block 70 extends in the same direction as the coin passage hole 64a of the verifier 64. As shown in FIG. 28, the bottom plate 72 forming the bottom of the gap 74 is disposed above -19-200534903 (16) than the checker 64, and is inclined downward toward the checker 64 in front. With such a structure, the coin which is introduced by the coin inserter 47 to roll the guide plate 67 is dropped to the coin 71 of the guide block 70. Since the coin receiving surface 7 3 a is formed in a semi-cylindrical shape, the coins falling below are slid on the coin receiving surface 7 3 a and are guided therethrough. The coin guide plate 6 7 faces the game board surface 4 3. The direction of the coin falling down from the center is the same as the direction of the game board (the direction in which the gap 74 extends). The coin to be guided 74 rolls down on the bottom plate 72 in the same direction as the coin passage hole 64a. In addition, since the projection 7 3 b is provided on the coin receiving surface, even if the coin dropped from the coin guide plate 67 to the surface 73 a is in a horizontal state, the coin and the synapse will lose the balance of the coin and there will be no The coin is lying down. In addition, when the coin collides with the protrusion 73b, the power of the coin can be reliably dropped into the gap 74. Then, the coin is notified to fall to the verifier 64 by the coin notification, thereby eliminating the risk of the coin falling on the verifier 64 while the coin is lying down. Furthermore, the fruit system according to the coin direction of the projection 73b is related to the length of the projection 73b. For example, if the projection 73b is relatively small, the effect of the projection 73b is relatively small, and the frequency of the coin falling to the verifier 64 is increased. As a result, the probability of the coin verifier 64 is reduced. By making the guide block 70 to the left-right direction by the driving mechanism 71, the left-right direction, the gap 7 4 and the coin passage hole 6 4 a are caused to be inconsistent or inconsistent. What if the coin passes in the gap 74? Move the coin k contact surface 73a to the receiving gap 74. The side of the slightly inclined surface 4 3 leads to the gap, and the top coin receiving portion 73b of the vertical 73a weakens to stabilize the connection. The hard i gap 74 falls to one of the nuclear reciprocating positions L when the adjustment effect of the verification is shortened. 6 4 a large -20-

200534903 (17) Consistent, that is, in the aforementioned direction, when these coins are connected in a straight line I If the coins fall toward the verifier 64, the coins pass through the coin passage hole. Coins dropped to the checker 64 at different time points will be ejected by the nuclear drug 64 and dropped to the lower table 65. Further, as shown in FIG. 28, the house pairing device 64 is provided with a guide rail 84 for passing the coin_ which has passed through the coin passage hole 64a to the coin funnel. As described above, the coin game machine of this embodiment is provided with a coin guide device 63 that makes the coin β to the game board surface 43 pass through the checker 64 so that the coin guide hole 63a has the same direction as the coin pass hole 64a of the checker. Players with sufficient skills can also play with or without the coin 64 game. In addition, it is also possible to give the coin guide device 63 the bottom plate 72 and the coin belonging lead member 73 a slope opposite to that in FIG. 31, that is, the lower the front end portion 73d of the coin guide member 73 toward the rear end portion 73c, the lower the slope. For the gradient, the verifier 64 is arranged on the side of the rear end 7 3 c of the coin guide member 73. 32 to 34 show the coin payment device 44 in detail. The coin payment device 4 4 is provided to pay a large amount of coins to the playing surface 43 at the time of winning the prize, and includes: a coin tray 90; a belt conveyance that connects the left and right game tray surfaces 4 3 behind the coin tray 90 and is connected to each other Ejector 9 1; An ejector arranged between both ends of the belt conveyor 91 and the upper table 62. The coin plate 90 is a fulcrum at a shaft portion 90a at the rear end of the upper portion, and is rotatably provided with a standby position that extends approximately horizontally forward by an actuator (not shown), and is lifted with the shaft portion 90a as a fulcrum. The driving position of the front end is shown in Fig. 33 and Fig. 34). It is used to drive the coin plate 6 4a f device [introduction: into 64: that: it also changes to the support plate, and the 92 ground extension (-21-90 (18) (18) 200534903 actuator can also be If a rotary motion is generated by a motor, it is also possible to generate a linear motion like a cylinder. If it is a rotary motion type actuator, the rotary motion may be transmitted to the periphery of the shaft portion 90a and the coin plate 90 may be rotated. For the actuator, the connection mechanism or the like can be used to convert the linear motion into the rotary motion of the coin tray 90. The coin tray 90 is made by a funnel (not shown) to pay coins, and when the coin tray 90 is moved from the standby position When moving to the operating position, the coins on the coin tray 90 will drop onto the belt conveyor 91. Then, the belt conveyor 91 will be moved in either of the right and left directions to make the coins on the belt conveyor 91 It is transferred to one of the ejectors 92, and the coins are paid to one of the upper tables 62 through the ejector 92. As such, between the coin tray 90 and the ejector 92, it is connected to the belt conveyor 91, so Can reduce the length of the injector 92 The height of the coin tray 90 can also give the ejector 92 sufficient inclination. However, if the belt conveyor 91 is not used, the ejector 92 must be extended to the center of the coin tray 90 in the left-right direction, and provided from the coin tray The 90-coin drop direction is directed to one of the ejectors 92, but in this case, if a sufficient inclination is given to the ejector 92, the overall height of the ejector 92 becomes high, and in accordance with this, the coin must be matched The position of the disc 90 is changed to the upper position. However, in this case, “the overall height of the sub-element 3 is increased”, the screen 6 of the main element 2 or the lottery machine 7 behind is missing. In contrast, in this embodiment, Since the coin is conveyed horizontally to each of the upper tables 62 by the belt conveyor 9 1 'the upper table 62 becomes shorter' and the overall height can be suppressed. Therefore, the position of the coin tray 90 can be lowered. -22- 200534903 (19) (Structure of control system) Next, the control system of the game machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5.

In addition to the above, various input devices and output devices can be connected to the control device 100. Other game machines 1 may be installed in the same store, or may be installed in other stores. FIG. 36 is a block diagram of a control system provided on the sub-element 3. Vice Element -23- 200534903 (20) Case 3 also has a control device 11 configured as a computer unit including a microprocessor. A ROM 111 and a RAM 112 of a main memory device are connected to the control device 11. A screen 60 (see Fig. 19), which is a display device, is connected to the control device 110. The control device 11 is connected to various devices whose output is an output device or a control target device, and these various devices are installed at the left and right stations 40. For example, in the control device 丨] 0, an operation switch 4 8 (refer to FIG. 13) as an input device and an award detection sensor 1 1 3 are connected. The winning detection sensor 1 1 3 is a coin that passes through the verifier 6 4 through the hole 6 4 a to detect the coins introduced into the verifier 6 4 and output a specific detection signal. In addition, the control device 1 10 is connected to a drive motor 1 1 4 for driving the pusher 68, which is a control target device, and a motor 80 for driving the guide block 70 of the coin guide 63 (see FIG. 25). ), And a coin funnel 115 for paying coins in the housing 41. In FIG. 36, only the station 40 on the left is shown in detail, but the same applies to the station 40 on the right. Further, the control device 1 10 of the sub-element 3 is connected to an actuator 116 for driving a coin tray 90 of the hard φ coin payment device 44 and a belt conveyor 91 as control devices. Furthermore, the operation of paying coins on the coin tray 90 is performed by the coin hopper 1 15, but it can also be performed by other coin hoppers. In this case, a coin hopper different from the coin hopper 1 15 is connected to the control device π as a control target device corresponding to the coin tray 90. In addition, a communication control device 1 1 7 is also connected to the control device of the sub-element 3]. The communication control device 1 1 7 is provided to control the device 1 1 0 to perform information communication with the control device 1 of the main component 2 in the same game machine 1. In addition to the above devices, the control of the sub-component 3 -24- 200534903 (21) Device 1 10 can also connect various input devices and output devices. For example, a coin input sensor that detects coins from the coin inserter 47 is managed to control the payment rate of coins, or a coin drop detection sensor that detects coins dropped from the lower table 65 is connected to the control. Device 1 1 0. (Game Notes) Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 40 to FIG. 40, the name φ in the game played by the gaming machine 1 is shown. The gaming machine 1 of this embodiment is provided to the player: in addition to the basic game of a so-called advance game, which is a coin that is dropped to the lower table 65 as the coin dropr 47 is dropped and pushed by the lower table 65, it is provided. The player associated with obtaining coins for the checker 64. 3 7 series display In order to play such a game, the screen 60 displayed on the station 4 0 game screen 2 0 0. The server 2 0 0 includes the main game section 2 1. The roulette table section 20 2 with the water field arranged at the lower end of the screen 2 0 2 and the cumulative prize counting section vertically arranged at the left end of the screen 200 203. φ In the main game section 2 01, execute: competition will be the 3 patterns of the upper and lower columns 2 0 1 a ~ 2 0 1 c like a handle machine (S 1 〇t Machine) at the appropriate time point A game in which each pattern tape 2 0 1 a to 2 0 1 c is stopped to form a specific winning pattern in an up or oblique direction. The game of the main game section 201 is performed by using the coins obtained by the verifier 6 4 as a board machine (t r 1 g g e r). Cases or winning patterns displayed in the main game section 20 may also be appropriately formulated, as an example, as shown in Fig. 38. Here, the probability change refers to the operation of raising the chance of the winning pattern to a certain level. The central game refers to the game 'single play (si η g 1 e) of the game which uses the main component 2 to enter the lower capacity and is brought into the prize draw by the flat 68 external drawing. The rate is -25, 200534903 (22). Refers to the right to play the center game once, and triple refers to the person who plays the center game three times in a row. Fig. 3 shows the game screen 300 displayed on the screen of the main component 2 when the center game is executed, and Fig. 40 shows the game screen 301 displayed on the screen of the station when the center game is executed. As can be seen from FIG. 39, on the screen 300 of the center game, a map 3 02 having a peripheral path 303 and an internal path 3 04 is displayed. Each path 3 0 3 is formed by connecting a rectangular grid 3 05 into a square. In the figure, the grid 3 0 5 is assigned the letters a, b, c, ... to distinguish them, but when no distinction is required, they are shown as drawing number 3 05. The structure of each path 3 0 3, 3 0 4 of the map 3 0 2 is maintained as R 0 Μ 1 0.1 as the map information. On the route 3 0 3 or 3 0 4, the check mark 3 0 6 corresponding to each station 40 and the station number (any of 1 to 6) are displayed together. The picture 301 in FIG. 40 is a part of the game picture 3 0, which is enlarged to correspond to the position of the chess mark 3 0 6 of the station where the picture 3 01 is displayed. For the game at station 40, when the right to play the center game is given, for this station, a lottery machine 7 is used to draw one of the numbers 1 to 8 so that the chess mark 3 0 6 is on the path 3 0 3 or 3 04. Moving up in a certain direction corresponds to the number of grids of the number obtained in the lottery. The contents of the reward given in the center game are described in each grid 3 05, and when the check mark 3 06 is stopped, the reward described in the content of the stopped grid is given to the player playing the center game. For example, if the check mark 3 06 stops on the grid 3 0 5 a with the numbers "3 0" and "5 0" recorded, the player gets -26- (23) (23) ) 200534903 Count the number of coins. On the peripheral path 303, there is a grid (hereinafter referred to as s j p grid) 3 0 5 b marked "SJP Chance", and when the chess mark 3 06 stops there, the right to be awarded a super prize is granted. In this case, the lottery machine 7 is used to determine whether the lottery has been won. Then, if the super prize amount is naked, the player obtains the number of coins (hereinafter referred to as the number of s j p) displayed on the S j p display portion 307 adjacent to the outside of the SJP grid 3 0 5 b. When the chess mark 3 0 6 passes through the SJP grid 305b, only a predetermined number of SJP pieces are added. On the other hand, the inner peripheral path 304 has a grid (hereinafter referred to as a BB grid) 3 0 5 c indicating "bb opportunities". When the chess mark 3 06 stops here ', the right to give a big prize is given. In this case, the lottery machine 7 is used to determine whether the lottery is naked. Then, if the grand prize is obtained naked, the player obtains a number of coins (hereinafter referred to as the number of BBs) displayed on the B B display portion 308 of the center portion of the inner peripheral path 304. When the chess mark 3 0 6 passes the BB grid 3 0 5 c, a predetermined number of bbs is added. At each of the four corners of each of the paths 303 and 304, a transition grid 3 0 marked with "GO" is arranged. 5 d. When the check mark 3 0 6 stops at the transfer grid 3 0 5 d, the check mark 3 0 6 moves between the outer path 3 0 3 and the inner path 3 0 4. Between the paths 3 03 and 3 04, it is understood that the number displayed on the grid 3 0 5 a is compared. The inner peripheral path 3 04 is easier to obtain a higher prize than the outer peripheral path 3 03. In addition to the above, special grids 3 0 5 e, f, etc. may be appropriately provided on the paths 3 03, 3 04, but this is not the gist of the present invention, and the description is omitted here. -27- (24) (24) 200534903 When a plurality of game machines 1 are connected to each other to form a game system, the above-mentioned inner peripheral path 3 04 system is shared among the game machines 1. That is, in one game system, the configurations of the peripheral paths 3 0 4 stored in the ROM 1 0 1 of each game machine 1 are equal to each other. In addition, among these game machines, the position or number of BBs of the chess pieces 306 placed on the inner peripheral path 304 is also shared by. These pieces of information are stored in the RAM 102 of the game machine 1 as information, but these pieces of information are appropriately exchanged between the game machines 1 to maintain their integration. Moreover, the chess mark 309 of the other gaming machine 1 is also displayed on the inner peripheral path 304. When these check marks 3 0 9 stop at the B B grid 3 0 5 c, the station 40 corresponding to the game mark 1 of the check mark 3 09 is given the right to receive a big prize naked. When the chess mark 309 passes the BB grid 3 05c, all the gaming machines 1 in the same game system are added with a predetermined number B B. That is, the number of B B has a characteristic of a so-called progressive bonus shared among a plurality of game machines 1. In this way, a part of the 'Map 3 02' is shared among a plurality of game machines, and the bonus amount for the game of the shared part is also set up among these game machines 1. Thus, players not only for other players of the same game machine 1 Even if you pay attention to the game conditions of other players of the gaming machine 1, the interest in the game is increased. In addition, since a common amount of money is accumulated in a plurality of game machines, a larger amount of money can be made than a game amount of money accumulated in a single game machine, thereby increasing interest in games. (Regarding the control sequence) When starting the station control program, the control device 1] 0 first performs the step-28- (25) 200534903 S 1 0 1 for the main game section 2 0 1 to be displayed on the game screen 2 0 0 The pattern combination uses random number drawing to control the display content of the main game unit 201 in order to display the drawing result. Specifically, each of the pattern strips 201a to 20lc is advanced so as to obtain a pattern combination determined by lot selection, and control the respective display contents. Next, in step S 102, it is judged whether the probability change start pattern (except "7 7 7") is established. If the probability change start pattern is established, B sets the probability change flag to 1 in step S 103 and then proceeds. Go to step S 1 06. On the one hand, if the probability change start pattern is not established, the process proceeds to step S 104, and it is judged whether the probability change end pattern is completed. When it is established, the probability change flag is reset to 0, and then the process proceeds to step S 1 06. . The probability change flag is considered by the lottery in step S 101. When the flag is set to 1, the winning pattern (the winning pattern shown in Fig. 38) is more likely to be established than when it is reset to 0. . In step S 106, the coin funnel 1 15 is driven, and coins corresponding to the number of patterns established at the lottery φ are paid to the upper table 62 through the coin payout port 61. At this time, the image of falling coins can also be displayed on the upper table 62, and in synchronization with this, the coins can be paid out by the coin payment port 61, thereby performing a performance like falling coins. After paying the coin, proceed to step S 07, and add 1 to the step of the TP step stored in the RAM 1 1 2. The step of the JP step is equivalent to the number of lights of the cumulative prize counting section 203 of the game screen 200. When the number of rAM1 12 is updated, the number of lights of the cumulative prize counting section 2 0 3 is also updated in cooperation with it. . Next, in step S 108, it is determined whether or not the step .1 P reaches a predetermined maximum 値 -29-(26) (26) 200534903 (here, 7). If the maximum value 値 is reached, proceed to step S 109 as JP is established, and drive the upper table 62 toward the horizontal position $ action position 作 horizontal position to drive all the coins accumulated on it to the coin guide The guide device 63 comes to pay the prize amount to the lower table 65. At this time, coins can also be paid through the hard money payment port 61. Then, in step S 1 10, the IP step in RAM 1 1 2 is reset to the initial stage 値 0, and the station control program is ended. On the other hand, when the condition of step S104 is negated, the process proceeds to step S 1 1 1 to determine whether the single-play pattern of the center game (refer to FIG. 38) is established. If it is established, the process proceeds to step S112, and the control device 100 of the main component 2 notifies the center game that a single play pattern is established. Then, proceed to step S06 to make payment for the coin corresponding to the single game pattern of the center game. When the condition of step S 1 1 1 is denied, it proceeds to step S 1 1 3 to determine whether the three-time play pattern of the center game is established. If it is true, proceed to step S 1 1 4 and drive the upper table 62 toward the horizontal position + the operating position. Next, at step s 1 1 5, the control device 1 00 of the main component 2 notifies the center that the three game patterns are established. Then, proceed to step S 103, set the probability change flag to 1, and then proceed to step S 1 06 'to pay coins corresponding to the three-time play pattern of the center game. In step S 1 1 3, the three-play pattern is not established. ， Proceed to step S 1 1 6 and judge whether there is a roulette pattern in the main game part 2 1 after the pattern belt 2 〇 丨 a ～ 2 0 1 c stops (the pattern shown in the penultimate paragraph of Figure 3 8 ). If it exists, proceed to step S 1 1 7 and add 1 to 値 of the roulette table stored in -30- (27) (27) 200534903 RAM 1 1 2. The number of lights on the roulette table is equal to the number of lights on the roulette table section 202 of the game screen 200. When the number of lights on the RAM 1 12 is updated, the number of lights on the roulette table section 202 is also updated accordingly. Then, in step S 1 1 8, it is judged whether or not the roulette gauge 値 reaches a predetermined maximum 値 (here, 25). If the maximum value is reached, the process proceeds to step S Π 9 and the control device 100 of the main component 2 notifies the center game that a single play pattern is established. Then, in step S 1 2 0, the roulette table R on the R AM 1 12 is reset to the initial stage 値, and the station control program is ended. Furthermore, when it is judged that there is no roulette pattern in step S 1 16 or when it is judged in step S 1 8 that the table size is non-maximum, the subsequent processing is stopped and the station control program is ended. Next, the processing of the control device 100 of the main element 2 will be described. Figure 42 and Figure 4 show the central game control program executed by the control device 100 of the main component 2 in order to achieve the central game. When the control device 1 1 0 of any of the sub-elements 3 is notified that a single game pattern or a three game pattern has been established, the program 40 makes the single game pattern or the three game pattern stand 40 as The object is executed. That is, unless otherwise specified, the following processing is performed on the station 40 that makes the center game single play pattern or three play patterns set up. When the center game control program is started, the control device 100 first determines in step S2 00 whether a single play pattern has been notified. When the single-play pattern is notified, the process proceeds to step S201, and the variable N for determining the number of games is set to initial 値 1. When the single-play pattern is not notified (that is, when the three-play pattern is notified), the process proceeds to step S 2 02, set -31-200534903 (28) in the initial stage of variable N3. After setting the variable N, the process proceeds to step S203, and a roulette lottery is executed, that is, a lottery machine 7 is used to perform a lottery of one to eight. Then, the position of the chess mark 3 06 on the map 3 02 is advanced by the number of grids obtained, and the position information of the chess mark 3 06 stored in the RAM 102 is updated. The position information of the chess mark 3 0 6 corresponds to the information of the discriminating station 40 and is held in the RAM 102. At this time, the updated position information is about the chess corresponding to the station 40 which makes the single play pattern or the three play pattern set up. Bid 3 06. Corresponding to the update of the chess position information, the display on the screen 60 is also updated. Next, in step S204, it is judged whether or not the check mark 3 06 passes the SJP grid 3 05b. If it passes, in step S 2 05, the number of SJPs for the S] P display section 3 07 adjacent to the SJP grid 3 0 5 b is counted. The predetermined number is increased, and then the process proceeds to step S208. On the other hand, in step S204, when the SJP grid 305b has not been passed, the process proceeds to step S206, and it is determined whether or not the checker 306 has passed the BB grid 305c. When the BB grid 305c is passed, the process proceeds to step S207, and the number of BB is increased by a predetermined number. Since the number of b b is shared with other game machines 1 constituting the same game system, the control device 100 of these game machines 1 also notifies the addition of the number of B B. After performing these processes, the process proceeds to step S208. When it is judged as negative in step S206, step S207 is suspended and the process proceeds to step S208. In step S208, the type of the grid (stop grid) corresponding to the chess mark position updated in step s203 is determined. Next, in step S209, it is judged whether or not the chess mark 3 06 has stopped at S.ϊP grid 3 05b. If it is stopped, the process proceeds to step S2 10 to perform a roulette lottery on the super prize amount. In this case, the roulette lottery of 2005-34903 (29) will use one of 8 on the drum 3 1 of the lottery machine 7 as a super prize (SJP) winning grid. Of course, lottery can also be carried out by other means. . Wait for the roulette (the drum advances to step S 2 1 1 to determine whether the super prize amount has been won. If the super prize amount is reached, proceed to step S 2 1 6; if it has not won, proceed to step S 220 in FIG. 43. In step S220, the number of coins φ obtained by the player according to the number of coins obtained by the roulette draw of S 2 10 or S 2 1 3. On the one hand, in step S209 of FIG. 42, when the judgment is not stopped Check the poem 3 0 5b, proceed to step S212, and judge that the check mark 3 06 is on BB grid 3 05 c. If it stops, proceed to step S2 13 'About the roulette lottery of the jackpot. Also, if one of the eight blocks on the drum 31 of the lottery machine 7 (BB) winning grid is carried out. Of course, it can also be drawn by other rows. Wait for the roulette (drum 31) to stop before proceeding Go to step φ to determine whether the jackpot amount has been won. If the jackpot amount has been won, proceed to S2 15 and for other game machines 1 included in the same game system, proceed to step S216. Furthermore, step The processing of S204 and S2 12 can obtain roulette drawing in step S2 03 Immediately after, no need: wait to update the display on screen 6 according to the result obtained in step S2 03.

Due to the instruction of -33-(30) (30) 200534903 to accept coins, the control device 100 waits for the coin tray 90 to pay the coins, and then drives the coin tray 90 to the operating position, waiting for the coins to fall to the belt. After the belt conveyor 91 is advanced, the belt conveyor 91 is moved toward the station 40 on the SJP or BB side to pay coins already paid on the coin tray 90 to the upper table 62 on the station 40. After paying SJP or BB, proceed to step S217, reset the number of SJP or BB stored in RAM 102 to initial stage, and end the center game control program. When it is determined in step S 2 1 2 that it is not stopped in the B B grid 305c, the process proceeds to step S221 in FIG. 43. At step S 2 2 1 in FIG. 4 3, it is determined whether or not the chess mark 3 0 6 has stopped at the transfer grid 3 0 5 d. If it is not stopped at the transfer grid 3 0 5 d, the process proceeds to step S222 and it is determined whether or not the checker 3 06 is stopped at the other special grid 3 05 e, f ~. When the check mark 3 0 6 stops at the normal grid 3 0 5 a, step S222 is negated. In this case, the process proceeds to step S223, and the number 値 marked at the stopped grid 3 0 5 a is used as the obtained piece. Set the number. On the one hand, when the conditions of step S222 are affirmed, the process proceeds to step S224, and processing is performed in accordance with the winning content assigned to the special grid 3 0 5 e ... After setting the obtained number of pieces in step S220 or S223, proceed to step S 22 5 and pay the coins of the obtained number. In this case, the coin payment device 44 can be used for coin payment. Among them, when the number is small, it can also be paid by the coin payment port 61. When it stops at the transition grid 3 0 5 d at step S 2 2 1, it proceeds to step S 2 2 7 so that the check mark 3 0 6 is on the transition grid 3 of the outer peripheral path 3 0 3 and the inner peripheral path 3 The transfer lattice of 04 moves between 3 0 5 d. In addition, it is also possible to move from the outer peripheral path 3 0 3 to the inner peripheral path 3 0 4 and from the inner peripheral -34- (31) (31) 200534903 path 3 0 4 to the outer peripheral path 3 0 3 Change the conditions. For example, the movement in the opposite direction may be restricted compared to the movement from the inner peripheral path 304 to the outer peripheral path 303. After the processing of step S224, S225, or S227 is performed, the process proceeds to step S2 2 6 and the stop position of the updated chess mark 3 06 is notified to the other game machine 1. Among them, the notification may also be directed only to the chess mark 3 06 located on the inner path 30 04. After the stop position is notified, it proceeds to step S2 08 to determine whether the variable N is 1. If it is not 1, proceed to step S2 09, subtract 1 from the variable N, and then return to step S203 of FIG. 42. In step S228, if the variable N is 1, the central game control routine is ended. Fig. 44 shows a game update control program executed by the control device 100 in order to share the number of BBs and the positions of the chess marks 3 06 and 3 09 on the inner path 3 04 with other game machines 1. This process is repeatedly performed by the control device 100 at an appropriate cycle. In the game information update control program, the control device 100 first determines whether the number of additional B B pieces is notified by another game machine 1 in step S 250. If notified, the process proceeds to step s 2 51, and the number of BBs held in the RAM 102 is updated to a value increased by a predetermined number. If not notified, step S 2 51 is suspended. Next, it is determined at step S 2 5 2 'whether or not it is notified by another gaming machine 1; B B wins the prize. If notified, it proceeds to step S 2 5 3 and resets the number of B B pieces held at R Α M 102 to the initial stage. If not notified, step S 2 5 3 is suspended. Next, it is determined at step S 2 5 4 whether or not the stop position of the chess piece 3 0 6 is notified by the other gaming machine 1. If it is notified, proceed to step -35-200534903 (32) S2 5 5 and update the content of the position information of the inner circle path chess flag 3 0 9 notified in RAM 102. If not, step S 2 5 5 is aborted. Next, in step S2 56, the number of BBs of the root RAM 102 and the display content of the map 302 are updated. This ends the game information update control process. By appropriately repeating the procedure of FIG. 44, the number of BBs held in RA M 102 and the information on the inner peripheral path 30 04 can be maintained in the same state with each other.
