When a pachinko ball enters the starting port 202, a predetermined number of award balls (pachinko balls) are paid out to the upper plate 22 by the pachinko ball paying device 26 and advantageous to the player (a large number of winning balls can be obtained). A jackpot lottery is performed to determine whether or not to run the jackpot game.

  The result of the big hit lottery is notified to the player by a symbol that is stopped and displayed on the variable display 201 from the variation state. That is, in response to the pachinko ball entering the start port 202, the design of the variable display 201 changes, and if the predetermined jackpot symbol stops after a predetermined time has elapsed, the jackpot game is executed. The When the symbol stopped on the variable display 201 is a specific symbol (probable variation symbol) among the jackpot symbols, the probability of winning the jackpot lottery is set higher than in the normal mode after the jackpot game for the jackpot ends. A mode (so-called probability variation mode) is executed.

  Below the start opening 202, for example, a large winning opening 203 that is formed in a rectangular shape that is long to the left and right and into which a plurality of pachinko balls can enter simultaneously is arranged. The big prize opening 203 is provided with an opening / closing plate 204 that can be opened and closed in an open state for guiding a pachinko ball to the big prize opening 203 and a closed state for preventing the pachinko ball from entering the big prize opening 203. Yes. That is, the opening / closing plate 204 can block the grand prize opening 203 in a state along the board surface of the game board 20 and prevent the pachinko ball from entering the big prize opening 203. A pachinko ball that falls onto the grand prize winning opening 203 by opening the grand prize winning opening 203 by tilting to the near side about a rotation shaft (not shown) arranged along the lower edge of the 203. Can be introduced into the grand prize winning port 203.

  During the big hit game, the opening operation of the big winning opening 203 by the opening and closing plate 204 is performed for a predetermined time. A predetermined number of prize balls are paid out from the pachinko ball payout device 26 to the upper plate 22 for entering the pachinko balls into the big prize opening 203. In the jackpot game, the pachinko ball easily enters the big prize opening 203, so that the player can obtain a large number of prize balls.

Pachinko balls (out balls) that have not entered either the start opening 202 or the grand prize opening 203 are collected in the machine from an out ball collection opening 205 formed in the lower part of the game board 20.
An operation display unit 24 for giving a command related to the lending of game media to the intermediary machine 1 or displaying based on data relating to the lending of game media from the intermediary machine 1 at the front right end of the upper plate 22. Is arranged. More specifically, in the operation display unit 24, the balance of the valuable value stored in the game card inserted in the card insertion / discharge port 11 of the intermediary machine 1 is displayed as a frequency (for example, 1 frequency / 100 yen). A balance display unit 241 for displaying, and a lending permission display lamp 242 for notifying whether or not the gaming medium can be rented using the valuable value stored in the gaming card; A lending button 243 that is pushed when receiving a rental of a game medium using the valuable value recorded on the gaming card, and a push button for returning (ejecting) the gaming card when the game in the gaming machine 2 is ended.

  The type of privilege granted to the player when winning the privilege grant lottery includes, for example, a privilege of giving a predetermined number of prize balls to the player (paying from the gaming machine 2 to the upper plate 22). It may be. When this privilege is given to the player, the predetermined number of prize balls should be given to the player from the pedestal machine control board 17 of the pedestal machine 1 to the ball rental relay board 28 of the gaming machine 2. The pachinko ball payout device board 27 that has received the signal via the ball lending relay board 28 performs control so that the pachinko ball payout device 26 pays out the predetermined number of pachinko balls as prize balls. Will be done.

When a printing device is provided in connection with the pedestal machine 1 (for example, inside or outside the pedestal machine 1) and a predetermined privilege is won by a privilege grant lottery, a service ticket is output from the printing device. It may be like this. In this case, the service ticket output by the printing device may be exchanged for a product, a service provided in the hall, or the like.
When the privilege grant lottery is won, predetermined identification information may be displayed on the liquid crystal display 16 of the intermediary machine 1. In this case, the player may be able to receive a privilege using the identification information displayed on the liquid crystal display 16. For example, when a predetermined privilege is won, a two-dimensional bar code (a so-called QR code or the like) representing a predetermined URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is displayed on the liquid crystal display 16 and the player owns the two-dimensional bar code. If the player can read using a mobile phone equipped with a two-dimensional barcode reader device, the player accesses the URL based on the two-dimensional barcode read by the mobile phone, By performing a predetermined operation using the telephone (for example, an input operation of an address name), it is possible to receive a privilege such as sending a prize from the system management company.

In addition, when adopting a configuration in which the membership card insertion slot is provided in the intermediary machine 1, when a predetermined privilege is won, the member points stored in the membership card inserted in the membership card insertion slot are A privilege that a predetermined number of points is added may be given.
In this embodiment, a signal relating to the gaming state input from the gaming machine 2 to the display device 8 can be output from the display device 8 to the inter-vehicle machine 1 and the hall computer 7.

Therefore, based on the signal relating to the gaming state input from the gaming machine 2 without changing the design of the gaming machine 2, processing based on the signal relating to the gaming state (privilege lottery, etc.) is performed in the intercom machine 1. In addition, the hall computer 7 can manage information related to the game in the gaming machine 2.
Conventionally, in the hall, when a plurality of gaming machines 2 are installed, a signal relating to the gaming state is input from each gaming machine 2 to the hall computer 7 via the display device 8, and information relating to the gaming of each gaming machine 2 Is managed by the hall computer 7. According to this embodiment, processing based on a signal relating to the gaming state is executed in the inter-machine 1 without changing the conventional system as described above. can do.

In particular, in this embodiment, a privilege grant lottery is performed based on a signal input from the gaming machine 2 via the display device 8 in the intermediary machine 1, and a privilege is granted to the player when the bonus grant lottery is won. Therefore, a more interesting game can be performed based on a signal input from the gaming machine 2 to the intercom machine 1 via the display device 8.
