Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pinball game machine which can be enjoyed by interval indication by raising amusing properties of the interval indication.  <P>SOLUTION: Two kinds of interval images 1 and 2 are established so as to be displayed on a liquid crystal display 34. And, probability for the interval image 2 to be displayed on the liquid crystal display 34 is low compared with the interval image 1 and the interval images 1 and 2 are determined by the consecutive occurrence frequency of a big win symbol and the numerical value of a counter for interval display (a label-TRND-C8). Hence, a variation occurs in the interval indication and a player can enjoy a game by the interval indication. Also, since the interval image 2 has low probability of being displayed compared with the interval image 1, the player is interested in whether the interval image 2 of low probability of being displayed is displayed and the amusing properties of the game can be raised. Moreover, since the interval picture is decided by the consecutive occurrence frequency of the big win symbol and the numerical value of the counter for the interval display (the label-TRND-C8), the player cannot anticipate which interval image is displayed and is interested in the interval indication.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
