<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To give no feeling of loss to a game player and to improve interest. <P>SOLUTION: When a game ball wins a prize in a start hole, it is checked whether or not the number N of retained balls is under 4 (S200, S202). When the number N of retained balls is under 4, a special pattern variation reservation lamp is lighted (S203, S204), and each counter value stored in a buffer is stored in a retained ball storing area (S205). When the number N of retained balls is under 4, the number Ni of invalid entering balls is counted up, and a segment of an invalid entering ball display device is lighted to perform time reduction determination processing (S206 to S208). In the time reduction determination processing, it is determined to be a success from whether or not the game mode is changed to the time reduction mode according to the value of the number Ni of invalid entering balls. As a result, no feeling of loss is given to the game player and the interest can be improved. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
