This is a program for supporting the operation of arbitrarily selecting the symbol of the cocoon to be self-contained by the screen of the display device 10 and the interactive method.

  The game history data recording program P8 is a program for performing a process of storing history data of game results for each game executed on the day in the RAM 42a. The game result history data includes the number of times the game has been played on the current day, the number of times that the winning combination has been completed (total number of winnings), the number of times that the BB game role has been acquired on the same day, and the number of times that the RB game role has been acquired. Also, the name of the winning combination and the number of medals paid out when winning a prize, the number of continuous fluency that is the number of games played from the previous winning prize to the next winning prize, the game executed just before the game in the normal game When it is a game in which a combination is completed, data relating to the number of consecutive consecutive winnings indicating the number of consecutive winnings is recorded.

  Of the history data of the game results, data such as the number of times the game has been executed and the number of times that the game has been executed, the number of consecutive consecutive winnings, the number of continuous affairs, etc. The image is transmitted to the first image control board Kc via the board Kb.

(Program mounted on sub-control board Kb)
Next, the configuration of the program installed in the ROM 41b of the sub control board Kb will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the sub-control board Kb is mainly loaded with programs composed of a main control program P21, a lamp control program P22, an assist program P23, and an effect execution program P24.

  Among these, the main control program P21 decodes various control commands and control data transmitted from the main control board Ka, executes the above-mentioned programs P22, P23, and P24 for each control command, and the first and second programs. Processing for controlling communication with the image control boards Kc and Kd is performed. The main control program P21 includes a communication control program P21a for performing this communication.

  The lamp control program P22 is a program for controlling lighting and extinguishing of the lamps 8 and 14 based on a control command and control data transmitted from the main control board Ka.

  When there are three current handbooks, the throwing-away support program P23a throws away from this handbook as a throwaway before the player performs a throwing-away operation based on the handbook data stored in the RAM 42b. It is a program for assisting a player to determine a power habit and discard this symbol as a habit. The symbol code of the kite determined by the discarded kite support program P23a is transmitted to the first image control board Kc, and the symbol is displayed on the first display device 10.

  The self-support program P23b is a program for determining a self-design to be added to the manual before the player performs the self-control when the current manual is two or less. The symbol code of the bag to be self-determined determined by the self-support program P23b is transmitted to the first image control board Kc, and the symbol is displayed on the first display device 10.

  The effect execution program P24 performs a process of storing the history of the self-recognition pattern added to the design of the hand by self-operation in a predetermined storage area of the RAM 42b of the sub-control board Kb, and determines various effects to be executed. This is a program for performing a process of transmitting an effect command to the first image control board Kc and the second image control board Kd via the communication control program P21a of the main program P21. The RAM 42b is a manual design history storage unit in the present embodiment.

  The ROM 41b of the sub-control board Kb stores a manual pattern table and an effect pattern table as shown in FIG. In the manual pattern table of FIG. 10, “◯” indicates a bonus symbol constituting a BB game (big bonus) role, and “▲” indicates a symbol not constituting a BB game role. In the hand pattern pattern table, when the first ball is self-operated and the number of the hand ball pattern is one (the state of the hand ball pattern code in FIG. 10 is “100” or “101”), the fourth ball The combination pattern of all hand symbols until self-operating and there are three symbols on the hand (the state of the hand pad pattern code in FIG. 10 is “402” to “415”) It is remembered with the history of going. In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not it is a spear that constitutes a BB game combination that is a special game combination, and data corresponding to “◯” or “▲” is stored. A flag may be set in the storage area corresponding to the history (for example, “1” is stored) only when he / she refrains from the symbol of the cocoon to be configured.

  For example, at the time when the third ball self-operates, the hand-palm pattern codes “301”, “302”, and “304” all include two bonus symbols. Since “301” is a bonus symbol for both the first ball and the second ball, the expectation for completion of the BB game role has increased considerably at this point. Because you may be anxious, a production such as “Do n’t worry” is effective. On the other hand, since the hand ball pattern code “304” is failed in the first ball and the bonus symbol is refrained continuously in the second ball and the third ball, for example, “You get a bonus at that tone” It is possible to elevate the player's mood by performing various effects.

  As described above, the result of two bonus symbols is the same at the time when the three self-restraint operations are completed, but the psychological state of the player is not necessarily uniform due to the difference in the history to reach here. It is possible to increase the interest in the production by performing the production more finely for the players having the respective history.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the effect pattern linked | related corresponding to each hand-claw pattern code is registered into the effect pattern table. In addition, for example, “effect A101” corresponding to the self-prohibition effect of the hand guard pattern code “100” does not indicate one effect pattern, and “effect A101” stores a plurality of effect patterns. The effect to be executed is determined by lottery or the like, for example.

  The self-directing effect is an effect that is executed when a new spear symbol is added to the manual by a self-control operation. For example, “Production A101” is based on the appearance of a character that is the model theme. Production patterns such as production, production with characters and voices such as “Yata ~” and “Oishii”, and background image effect production such as sudden rain or wind blowing are stored and selected by lottery The performed effect is executed. In the present embodiment, a plurality of different production patterns are stored in “production A101” to “production A415” of the self-contained production. A part of the effect patterns may be used in common for the effect pattern “effect A101” corresponding to some manual pattern codes.

  The reach effect is an effect that is executed when hearing is confirmed when there are at least two patterns of the handle. Reach production is not executed when there are three hand-drawn symbols and waiting for the throwing-in operation, but it is determined that the design when the throwing-in operation is performed and two hand-drawing designs are confirmed is listening It is executed when it is done. In the “effect B200” and the like, a plurality of effect patterns such as a character effect, a character effect, a sound effect, and a background effect effect are stored as in the case of the “effect A101”. A plurality of different production patterns are also stored in “production B200” to “production B200” of reach production. It should be noted that a part of the effect patterns may be used in common for the effect pattern “effect B200” or the like corresponding to some manual pattern codes. Thus, according to this Embodiment, it is comprised so that the production | presentation according to the history of self-repression can be selected and performed.

  The effect execution program P24 performs a process of determining an effect to be executed with reference to the hand pattern pattern table shown in FIG. 10 according to the progress of the player's self-determination operation. The effect command determined by the effect execution program P24 is transmitted from the communication control program P21a to the first image control board Kc and the second image control board Kd. As the execution time of the production, it is effective at the end of the self-operation, at the end of the discard operation, at the end of the game, and the like.

(Program mounted on first image control board Kc)
Next, the configuration of the program installed in the ROM 41c of the first image control board Kc will be described with reference to FIG. These programs are mainly programs for displaying various images and the like on the first display device 10, and include a main control program P31, a screen display program P32, and the like.

  The main control program P31 receives the control command and control data transmitted from the sub control board Kb, and performs processing for controlling the operation of each subprogram of the screen display program P32 based on the received data.

  The screen display program P32 is a program for performing control for displaying an image, numerical information, and the like on the first display device 10 based on a control command and control data transmitted from the sub control board Kb. The game screen display program P32a, the special game screen display program P32b, the assist screen display program P32c, and the like are included.

  The normal game screen display program P32a supports various effect images and players on the first display device 10 when the player is playing a normal game since the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on. It is a program that performs processing for displaying various images. The normal game screen display program P32a further includes an initial effect display program P32a-1 and a game effect display program P32a-2 as subprograms.

  The initial effect display program P32a-1 is a program for displaying an initial screen when the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on. The game effect display program P32a-2 displays a screen or the like for assisting the player in operating the game as the game progresses. In addition, when the game effect display program P32a-2 receives data and a control command indicating that the current game becomes a mainstream from the sub-control board Kb, the game effect display program P32a-2 performs a display informing the first display device 10 of the fact. The game effect display program P32a-2 serves as a flow reporting device in the present embodiment, and this function is configured to be performed by the game effect program P42a-2 of the second image control board Kd described later. Alternatively, it may be configured to be performed by both programs.

  The special game screen display program P32b is a program that performs processing for displaying various effect screens when the player acquires the right of special game, and includes a right acquisition effect display program P32b-1.

  The assist screen display program P32c is composed of a self-display display program P32c-1 and a throw-away display program P32c-2. The self-displaying program P32c-1 is a program for displaying on the first display device 10 the symbol of the bag to be self-contained. Similarly, the discarded jar display program P32c-2 is a program for displaying the above-mentioned symbol of the trash to be discarded on the first display device 10 as shown in FIG.

(Program mounted on second image control board Kd)
Next, the configuration of the program installed in the ROM 41d of the second image control board Kd will be described with reference to FIG. These programs include a main control program P41, a screen display program P42, a sound / sound effect output program P43, and the like.

  The main control program P41 receives the control command and control data transmitted from the sub control board Kb, and activates each subprogram of the screen display program P42 and the sound / sound effect output program P43 in response to the received data. It is a program to do. The screen display program P42 includes a normal game screen display program P42a and a special game screen display program P42b.

  The normal game screen display program P42a includes subprograms such as an initial effect display program P42a-1 and a game effect display program P42a-2. The initial effect display program P42a-1 is a program for displaying an initial screen when the sparrow ball game machine 1 is powered on.

  The game effect display program P42a-2 mainly passes through the sub control board Kb from the main control board Ka every time the player performs a throw-in operation, a self-playing operation by launching a game ball, etc. as the game progresses. This is a program for performing a process of displaying the design of the current manual data, the design of the trash, etc. based on the control command and the control data transmitted.

  The special game screen display program P42b is a program for displaying various effect screens when the player acquires the right of special game, and includes a self-candidate candidate selection support program P42b-1 as a subprogram. . The self-candidate candidate selection support program P42b-1 displays the 13 kinds of spider symbols displayed on the first display device 10 when the player has acquired the special gamer's right as a spear selection right shift button 22b, Or it is a program for supporting the operation which selects the symbol of the heel which should be self-recognized by an interactive system, operating the heel selection left shift button 22a and scrolling.

  The sound / sound effect output program P43 is for outputting various effect sounds and sound effects from the speaker 6 as the game progresses based on the control command and its control data transmitted from the sub-control board Kb. It is a program.

  Note that image data to be displayed on the first and second display devices 10 and 16 is stored as digital image data in the ROM 41c of the first image control board Kc and the ROM 41d of the second image control board Kd, respectively. . These data are, for example, an image of the design of each kite, an image related to the background or character for other effects, an image for the effect when the rising role is completed, and the like.

  A program for controlling the operation of the game mounted on each of the control boards Ka, Kb, Kc, and Kd is developed using an assembler language, C language, Visual Basic language, or the like, and the CPUs 40a to 40d of each board are used. Programs translated into machine language programs that are executable programs are stored in the ROMs 41a to 41d of the control boards Ka, Kb, Kc, and Kd.

(Game progress control)
Next, a flow in which the game operation control program installed in the sparrow ball game machine 1 controls the progress of the game when the player executes the game will be described. FIG. 13 to FIG. 15 are flowcharts showing the flow of control of the main control program P1 mounted on the main control board Ka that controls and controls the progress of the game. Hereinafter, based on FIG. 13 thru | or FIG. 15, the flow of control of 1 game is demonstrated in order of a step.

(Step S1)
First, the manager of the game store turns on the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 before starting business on that day. When the power of the sparrow ball game machine 1 is turned on, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka initializes the storage area of the RAM 42a of the main control board Ka. At this time, “0” indicating a normal game is stored as an initial value in a special game flag described later. Subsequently, the main control program P1 transmits an initialization control command when the power is turned on to the sub-control board Kb, and the sub-control board Kb transmits this initialization control command to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd. .

  When the sub control board Kb and the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd receive this initialization control command, the main program mounted on each control board initializes the storage areas of the RAM 42b, RAM 42c and RAM 42d. Turn into. Further, the main programs P31 and P41 mounted on the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd operate the initial effect display programs P32a-1 and P42a-1, respectively, For example, processing such as displaying an image relating to the background or the character on the first and second display devices 10 and 16 is performed. As a result, the sparrow ball gaming machine 1 enters a state in which the game can be executed when the player inserts a predetermined number of medals per game into the medal slot 17.

(Step S2)
In order for a player to play a game, it is necessary to insert a predetermined number of game media, for example, three medals, into the medal slot 17 per game. When the medal insertion signal from the medal insertion sensor 17a is input to the main control board Ka, the main control program P1 activates the medal management program P2. The medal management program P2 performs processing for storing the number of inserted medals.

  When the main control program P1 determines that the number of medals necessary for the execution of one game has been inserted, a control command for prompting the player to press the game start button 18 is sent via the sub control board Kb. Transmit to the first image control board Kc. When the first image control board Kc receives this control command, the game effect display program P32a-2 performs a process of displaying “Please press the game start button” on the first display device 10. At this time, the sound / sound effect output program P43 of the second image control board Kd may be operated to simultaneously output sound from the speaker 6.

(Step S3)
When the player presses the game start button 18 and a game start signal is input to the main control board Ka, the main control program P1 sends a game start control command to the first and second control boards Kb via the sub control board Kb. It transmits to the second image control board Kc, Kd. Based on this control command, the game effect display programs P32a-2 and P42a-2 on the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd display the effect images at the start of the game on the first and second display devices 10, respectively. 16 and the sound is output from the speaker 6 by the sound / sound effect output program P43. In this way, one game of the sparrow ball game machine 1 starts.

(Step S4)
Subsequently, the main control program P1 performs a process of storing initial values in various storage areas set in the RAM 42a at the start of one game. For example, a prescribed number of “4” is stored as an initial value in an area (the remaining number storage area of game balls) that stores the number of game balls that can be fired by a player for self-control in one game. . However, when a special game to be described later is performed, “15” is stored as the specified number.

(Step S5)
Subsequently, the main control program P1 of the main control board Ka activates the special game combination lottery program P5 (which is activated when the normal game is performed), and determines the respective winning combinations that can acquire the right of the BB game. Then, a process of storing the BB game winning combination code in the RAM 42a is performed. Further, the main program P1 transmits a code of a winning combination that can acquire the special game right of the game to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd via the sub-control board Kb together with the control command. I do.

  When the main control program P21 of the sub-control board Kb receives the code of the rising combination determined as the BB game combination of the game from the main control board Ka, the main control program P21 performs a process of storing this code in the RAM 42b. Subsequently, the main control programs P31 and P41 of the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd display that the game start conditions are ready on the first and second display devices 10 and 16, and the speakers. 6 is controlled so as to perform the process of notifying by voice.

(Step S6)
The main control program P1 performs processing for checking the data stored in the special game flag set in the RAM 42a. If “0” is stored in the special game flag, the process proceeds to step S7. If “1” is stored, the process proceeds to step S50 shown in FIG.
In the special game flag, “0” is stored when the game to be executed is a normal game, and “1” is stored when the game has acquired the right of the BB game described later.

(Step S7)
Step S7 is a waiting state until the player performs a self-sufficient operation, that is, the main control program P1 causes the player to operate the game ball launch lever 4 to fire one game ball. Enters one of the entrances 13a to 13y, and a waiting state is set until an entrance signal is input from the entrance sensor.

(Step S8)
The main control program P1 activates the game ball remaining number counting program P1c and stores it in the storage area of the RAM 42a when an incoming signal is inputted from the entrance sensor of the entrance where the game ball has entered. A process of subtracting the remaining number of game balls is performed.

  Subsequently, the main control program P1 performs a process of analyzing the incoming signal of the game ball that has entered and obtaining the symbol code of the bowl at the entrance where the game ball has entered. Then, this symbol code is transmitted to the second image control substrate Kd via the sub-control substrate Kb as a symbol symbol of the bag that the player has refrained from. Next, the main control program P1 performs a process of adding a symbol code that is manually operated by the player to the hand data stored in the hand memory area of the RAM 42a. When the second image control board Kd receives the symbol code of the kite that the player has refrained from, the game effect display program P42a-2 displays the symbol corresponding to the symbol code of the kite that has been refrained from the effect image display unit 34. Process to be displayed. At the same time, the sub control board Kb selects an effect pattern according to the history of the hand by referring to the hand pattern pattern table and the effect pattern table of FIG. 10, and the selected effect pattern data is sent to the second image control board Kd. Send. When the second image control board Kd receives the effect pattern data from the sub control board Kb, the second image control board Kd operates the game effect display program P42a-2 to display the effect image corresponding to the effect pattern data on the effect image display unit 34. Perform the process.

(Step S9)
In step S <b> 9, the main program P <b> 1 performs a process of determining whether or not there are three (three) designs for the handle. As a result of the determination, when it is determined that there are three sheets, the process proceeds to step S10, and when it is determined that the number is not three, the process returns to step S7 and enters a state of waiting for self-operation.

(Step S10)
In this step S10, the winning determination program P7 performs a process for determining whether or not the three pieces of hand data have completed the winning combination. If it is determined that the rising combination is not completed, the process proceeds to step S11. If it is determined that the rising combination is completed, the process proceeds to step S16.

(Step S11)
The main control program P1 performs a process of determining whether or not the player can further perform a self-control operation, that is, whether or not one or more game balls that can be launched stored in the RAM 42a remain. If one or more game balls remain as a result of this determination, the process proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, when the number of game balls that can be fired is zero, the game is ended as a flow and proceeds to the next step S14.

(Step S12)
In step S12, the main control program P1 performs a process of determining whether or not the end button 25 has been pressed. When the end button 25 is pressed, the game ends as a flow and the process proceeds to step S14. When it is determined that the end button 25 is not pressed, the process proceeds to step S13.

(Step S13)
In step S <b> 13, the main control program P <b> 1 performs a process for determining whether or not a throwing-in operation has been performed by any of the throwing-in operation buttons 19 a, 19 b, and 19 c being pressed by the player. If so, the process returns to step S7 and waits for a self-sufficient operation. If it is determined that the discard operation has not been performed, the process returns to step S12.

(Step S16)
In step S16, as in step S11, the main control program P1 determines that the player can further perform a self-rotation operation, that is, one or more game balls that can be fired stored in the RAM 42a remain. The process which determines whether it is in is performed. If one or more game balls remain as a result of this determination, the process proceeds to step S17. On the other hand, when the number of game balls that can be fired is zero, since the game is confirmed to rise, the process proceeds to step S30 shown in FIG.

(Step S17)
In step S17, the main control program P1 performs a process of determining whether or not the up button 24 has been pressed. When the up button 24 is pressed, the process proceeds to step S30 shown in FIG. On the other hand, when it is determined that the up button 24 is not pressed, the process proceeds to step S18.

(Step S18)
In step S18, the main control program P1 performs a process of determining whether or not the throwing-in operation has been performed by pressing any of the throwing-in operation buttons 19a, 19b, and 19c by the player. If so, the process returns to step S7 and waits for a self-sufficient operation. If it is determined that the discarding operation has not been performed, the process returns to step S17.

(Step S14)
The game history data recording program P8 performs processing for adding the history data of the game executed by the player this time to the history data area of the RAM 42a and for updating the history data. The game result history data stored in the RAM 42a is the data item described in the processing contents of the game history data recording program P8.

(Step S15)
In step S15, since the game could not be lifted even if one game was completed, that is, a self-control operation corresponding to the specified number of game balls was performed, processing for the current station is performed. As this process, for example, an initialization process for storing initial data in the storage area of the number of remaining game balls set in the RAM 42a is performed. Further, a process of transmitting a game end control command to the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd via the sub-control board Kb is performed. In addition, when the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd receive the control command to end the game, the first and second image control boards Kc and Kd perform a process of displaying that fact on the first and second display devices 10 and 16.

(Step S30)
The main control program P1 operates the winning determination program P5 to determine what rising combination the hand data has completed, and stores the rising combination code in the RAM 42a.

(Step S31)
In the main control program P1, the code of the rising combination completed by the player matches the code of the rising combination targeted for the BB game combination which is the special gaming combination determined by the special gaming combination lottery program P4 at the start of the game. The process which determines whether to do is performed. If the result of this determination is that it matches the code of the rising combination that is the target of the BB game combination, the process proceeds to step S37. On the other hand, if the rising combination is not a rising combination that can acquire the right of the BB game, the process proceeds to step S32.

(Step S37)
In step S37, when the rising combination completed by the player is a rising combination that can acquire the right of the BB game combination, "1" is stored in the special game flag set in the RAM 42a, and the process proceeds to step S32. The process of step S37 is a preprocess for causing the next game progress control to proceed in the BB game combination mode. In the present embodiment, the game determined by the winning determination program P5 to have completed the BB game combination is configured to end as it is, but there are remaining game balls even after the completion of the BB game combination. May be configured to be able to aim for another rising combination by performing a throwing-in operation and a self-control operation. Further, after it is determined that the BB game combination is completed, the attacker operation port 12 may be validated so that the self-operation using the attacker 11 can be performed.

(Step S32)
The main control program P1 refers to the winning combination medal number table shown in FIG. 8, and the number of winning medals corresponding to the code of the rising combination completed by the player, that is, the player responds to this rising combination. A process for obtaining the number of acquired medals accompanying the winning winning is performed.

(Step S33)
The main control program P1 for the main control board Ka includes the first and second images via the sub-control board Kb, together with the control command for the completion of the rising combination, the data regarding the rising combination code and the number of medals acquired by the player. Processing to transmit to the control boards Kc and Kd is performed. When this control command is received, the first image control board Kc displays an effect indicating that the winning combination is completed on the first display device 10 by the game effect display program P32a-2 or the right acquisition effect display program P32b-1. Similarly, the second image control board Kd performs an effect display of the completed combination on the second display device 16 by the game effect display program P42a-2. Although not shown in FIG. 10, the effect of completing the rising hand can also be performed according to the history of the hand.

(Step S34)
The main control program P1 operates the medal discharge control program P6 to perform a process of paying out the acquired medal number from the medal payout device to the player.

(Step S35) (Step S36)
The main control program P1 activates the game history data recording program P8 to add, update, and record the history data of the game executed by the player in the history data storage area of the RAM 42a (step S35). . Subsequently, a game end process (step S36) is performed in the same manner as in step S15, and control is returned to step S2.

(Step S50)
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the progress process of the game that has acquired the BB game role right. Since the player is executing a game that has acquired the right of the BB game combination, the main control program P1 controls the progress of the game that has acquired the right of the BB game combination. The control of the game progress is a flow from step S2 to step S10 excluding step S5 in FIG. 13 (however, the initial value of the number of game balls set in step S4 is 15), but step. The self-restricting operation in S7 is an advantageous operation for the player.

  That is, the attacker operation port 12 of the game board 2 becomes effective for the next game in which the player has acquired the right to play the BB game. Then, when the game ball launched by the player passes through the attacker operating port 12, the attacker 11 opens. Each time the launched game ball enters the attacker 11, a desired one is selected by operating the selection buttons 22 a and 22 b and the selection determination button 23 from the 13 types of symbols displayed on the second display device 16. You will be able to select the symbol of the kite as self-determination. When the process of one BB game is completed, the process proceeds to step S51.

(Step S51)
In step S51, the main program P1 performs a process of determining whether or not the result of the end of one BB game in step S50 is a flow station. As a result of the determination, if it is determined that the player has become a franchise, the process proceeds to step S59, and if it is determined that the player has completed the rising role, the process proceeds to step S52.

(Step S52)
If the game that has acquired the right of the BB game role is continued and raised, the game that has acquired the right of the BB game role can be continuously executed up to a preset upper limit number of times, for example, 14 times. In step S52, “1” is added to the area for counting the number of BB game continuations set in the RAM 42a.

(Step S53) to (Step S56)
The processing content of steps S53 to S56 is the same as the processing of steps S30 to S34 excluding the above-described step S31.

(Step S57) to (Step S59)
It is determined whether or not the number of continuations of the player's BB game is equal to a preset upper limit number (step S57). This determination is performed by comparing the number of BB game continuations counted in step S52 and stored in the RAM 42a with the upper limit number stored in advance in the ROM 41a, for example, “14”. If the BB game continuation count is equal to the upper limit count, the process proceeds to step S59. In step S59, as a BB game end process, a process of storing “0” in the special game flag is performed, and the process proceeds to step S58. On the other hand, if the upper limit number has not been reached, the process proceeds to step S58, where the history data of the game executed by the player is added to the history data storage area of the RAM 42a and recorded, and the history data is updated. I do. The game control program installed in the sparrow ball game machine 1 according to the present embodiment executes the above-described steps to control the progress of one game.

  As described above, the sparrow ball game machine 1 according to the present embodiment, even if the combination of the hand-drawn symbols at the time of the performance is the same, the self-restraint design that reaches the combination of the hand-drawn symbols. If the history (history) is different, an effect corresponding to the history of the design of the hand is executed, so that a sparrow ball game machine that can enhance the player's interest in the effect can be provided.
