PINBALL GAME MACHINE

To provide a pinball game machine capable of executing a more effective performance.SOLUTION: In a pinball game machine, during a limited period in an easy-ball-entry state after completion of a special game, one of a plurality of kinds of limited selection criteria is referred to as a variation pattern selection criterion, a type of a limited selection criterion to be referenced is determined according to a limited selection criterion reference rule in which a type of a limited selection criterion to be referenced is prescribed for each variation display of a pattern during a limited period, a first limited selection criterion reference rule in which first variation pattern determination means prescribes a type of a limited selection criterion to be referenced and a second limited selection criterion reference rule in which second variation pattern determination means prescribes a type of a limited selection criterion to be referenced are provided separately as a limited selection criterion reference rule, the number of times of variation display of a first pattern and the number of times of variation display of a second pattern are counted separately during a limited period, and a type of a limited selection criterion to be referenced is determined according to the number of times of variation display of the first pattern and the second pattern.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 44 【課題】より効果的な演出を実行可能な弾球遊技機を提供する。【解決手段】弾球遊技機において、特別遊技の終了後の入球容易状態における限定的な期間には、変動パターン選択基準として、複数種類の限定選択基準のうちのいずれかが参照され、参照すべき限定選択基準の種類を限定的な期間における図柄の変動表示ごとに規定した限定選択基準参照規則にしたがって、参照する限定選択基準の種類が決定され、限定選択基準参照規則として、第１変動パターン決定手段が参照すべき限定選択基準の種類を規定した第１限定選択基準参照規則と、第２変動パターン決定手段が参照すべき限定選択基準の種類を規定した第２限定選択基準参照規則とが別個に設けられ、限定的な期間において、第１図柄の変動表示の回数と第２図柄の変動表示の回数とが別個にカウントされ、第１図柄および第２図柄の変動表示の回数に応じて参照すべき限定選択基準の種類を決定する。【選択図】図４４
