<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a ball from being caught, and to prevent a reduction in game efficiency. <P>SOLUTION: First valid time (TS1) measured by a winning valid timer after operation and second valid time (TS2) measured by a fraudulent winning invalid timer are the time where detection of ball entry is treated as valid even after a variable start winning device is restored to a closed state. However, the second valid time is different from the first valid time, and permits the next variation of a normal pattern. Thus, even if flow of a game ball stops temporarily when a ball is caught, detection of ball entry remains valid until the second valid time passes. Also, the next variation of a normal pattern is permitted when the first valid time elapses (time t4), before the second valid time elapses (up to t5), thereby preventing start of the next variation from being delayed even if the second valid time is set, and hence preventing a reduction in game efficiency. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
