Description of the Related Art When a batted ball is won in a starting opening provided in a game area, a specific game is performed in which a variable winning device is converted into an open state in which a batted ball is easily received once or twice, and at this time, a winning ball won in the variable winning device. When a player wins a special position (V winning opening), a special game that opens and closes the variable winning device a predetermined number of times is performed, and this special game can be repeated a predetermined number of times under the condition that the V winning opening of the winning ball in the game is won. There is a game machine.

ない。As in this type of gaming machine, a special game in which the variable winning device is opened and closed a predetermined number of times can be continuously repeated only a predetermined number of times on condition that the V winning opening during the game is won. In this case, if the number of continuations is set to a small number, the total number of award balls won by the player in the special game is small, so that the starting opening for activating the variable winning device once or twice as the specific game is for one winning. The burden on the amusement store side (the number of prize balls discharged) is not so large, and therefore, even if it is easy to win a prize at the starting opening, it does not affect the management of the amusement store.

賞しないような調整がなされる。On the other hand, if the number of continuations is set to a large number, the total number of award balls acquired by the player in the special game increases, and once as a specific game, the starting opening for activating the variable winning device once or twice. Since the burden on the game store side for the winning of a lot becomes large, the management of the game store cannot be established if there are a lot of winnings at the starting port, and in this case, the adjustment is made so that the starting port does not win much.

Special games can be played with a certain frequency, but the number of balls won in special games is not so large, and the number of game balls owned by the player in normal games is less likely to decrease (playing table)
And, the winning frequency to the starting opening is low, the frequency of special games is low, but there are many balls to be acquired in special games, and the game balls that the player owns during normal games have a fast way of decreasing (gambling is highly possible. There are two types, which are selected according to the player's preference.

Therefore, it is not necessary for a large-scale shop to have the required number of gaming machines of each type according to the taste of the player. It was difficult. In addition, it is difficult to predict a player's preference and arrange a game machine.

While games with different profitable amounts can be played based on 31 prizes, if the winning rate of the starting opening 30 is set high in this case, special games can be played with a certain frequency, but the balls won in special games are not so much. It can be set to a game machine (playing table) that does not have many balls and consumes less balls during normal operation, and instead of increasing the winning rate of the starting opening 30, if it is relatively easy to win the starting opening 31, a special game will occur. It can be set to a type of gaming machine (a highly gambling machine) that has a low frequency and consumes a lot of balls during normal operation, but has many balls to be acquired in special games.
