It Then, the common card 25 is used for the card insertion / ejection port 10
If the record information of the inserted card is read and transmitted from the common card unit 100, S2
Then, the processing for comparing the game condition information in the transmitted card information with the condition setting preliminarily input and set in the game machine is performed. Then, the process proceeds to S3, and it is determined whether or not the game start condition is satisfied. For example, in the case of the gaming machine set as shown in FIG. 2, the determination in S3 is set so that the use is allowed when the types are the same, and therefore the insertion is inserted. Only when the type data of the game condition information recorded on the common card is “1” and the type data matches the type displayed on the type display portion 7b, the determination of YES is made in S3. .

If YES is determined in S3, the process proceeds to S4, in which the card reading information is output to the hall management computer 270. Then, in the hall management computer 270, based on the transmitted card reading time information, the uniform number management of the final game holding point described above is performed, and whether the final game holding point matches that stored in advance. A collation determination process of whether or not to perform is performed. Then, the collation result is used as the point control microcomputer 92.
Reply to. In the point control microcomputer 92, if the returned collation result information is input, S
The determination result of 5 is YES, and the process proceeds to S6 to determine whether the matching result information is usable information. If it is the usable information, the process proceeds to S7, it is determined whether or not there is a final game holding point, and if there is, the process proceeds to S8, where the hitting ball launch unit 53 is activated and the game is played by using the final game holding point. Is acceptable.

Go to 2. In S12, it is determined whether or not the game is allowed to continue playing. With this game continuation permission state,
It means a state in which the display result of the variable display device 29 is a predetermined special display mode (so-called lucky number) of specific display modes. The lucky number is a number predetermined by the game hall, and if the display result of the variable display device 29 is a big hit with this lucky number, a certain privilege is given to the player. If the lucky number is reached, it is determined that the points can be used as they are without changing the prize at the stage when the big hit control is finished and the game can be continued. Therefore, if YES is determined in S12, the subroutine program ends. On the other hand, if the determination is NO in S12, the process proceeds to S13, in which shots are shot off and the game is disabled.

It should be noted that a fixed amount is stopped (for example, the number of difference balls is 4000
In the case of hitting with an individual), a hitting signal is input from the management computer for the hall, and the hitting ball firing is disabled based on the input signal and the game is disabled.

Thus, a YES determination is made and the process proceeds to S15 to determine whether or not the ball cannot be shot. When the ball cannot be shot, the process proceeds to S16, and the ball cannot be shot.

On the other hand, when it is determined in S15 that the ball cannot be shot, the process proceeds to S17, in which it is determined whether or not the game is allowed to continue (see S12). If it is determined that there is S
Proceeding to 19, the game continuation allowable state is released. On the other hand, S
When NO is determined by 17, the process proceeds to S18, where the game is allowed to continue. With this subroutine program, the condition setting at the end of the big hit is When the reset key 11 is operated in a state in which the ball cannot be shot, the state in which the ball cannot be shot is released. Also, if the reset key 11 is operated while the jackpot control of the lucky number is finished and the game is allowed to continue (for example, the unlucky number is displayed by the variable display device 29 in the game continuing permitted state). If it is operated), the game cannot be continued after the big hit. Furthermore, if the reset key 11 is operated during a normal game that is not in the game continuation permitted state, the game continuation permitted state is set,
The determination of YES is always made in S12, and the continuous game is unconditionally possible even after the jackpot is over. In addition, about switching to the game continuation allowable state, it is possible that switching is not possible in the normal state on condition that a big hit is in progress.

FIG. 8B is a flow chart showing a game continuation permission display subroutine program. S20
Is judged whether or not it is in the game continuation allowable state, and if there is, it proceeds to S21, lighting control of the game continuation permitting indicator 12 is carried out, and if it is determined that it is not in the game continuation permitted state, it proceeds to S22. , The game continuation permission display 12 is turned off.
