JP 2004-267327 A

  However, since the content of the two-dimensional code needs to be read through a mobile phone or the like as described above, the content of the two-dimensional code read at a corner may be unnecessary information for the player. In this case, the work of imaging the two-dimensional code with the mobile phone may be wasted and hinder the game. In such a case, in the subsequent game, even if a two-dimensional code having a content that allows the player to proceed with the game advantageously is displayed, the player cannot use the two-dimensional code as unnecessary information. There is a case where it is assumed that there is, and the two-dimensional code becomes unconscious. As a result, the player not only misses a medal that should be obtained, but the two-dimensional code displayed for the player may interfere with the game, and the game machine may be avoided. Furthermore, this may cause a new problem of reducing the ability to attract customers at the amusement store.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine that allows the player himself to determine the value of the two-dimensional code by making it easier to grasp the contents of the two-dimensional code.

Means and effects for solving the problems

  The present invention includes a variation display means for variably displaying a plurality of symbols, a lottery means for performing lottery regarding a game result, a stop control means for stopping and displaying symbols based on a lottery result by the lottery means, and lottery means. Two-dimensional code generation means for generating a two-dimensional code in which information that can be beneficial to the player is stored in an readable manner via an external device based on the lottery result and / or the stop display mode of a plurality of symbols; It is characterized by comprising display means for displaying the dimension code integrally with an information pattern related to information stored in the two-dimensional code.

  According to this configuration, a two-dimensional code storing information that can be beneficial to the player is displayed integrally with an information pattern related to the information. That is, by visually recognizing the information symbol displayed integrally with the two-dimensional code, the contents of the information stored in the two-dimensional code may be grasped. Therefore, the player may be able to determine the value of the displayed two-dimensional code by visually recognizing the information symbol, and thereby determine whether or not to read the information through an external device.

  Specifically, since the two-dimensional code can read information via an external device, the player can grasp the information stored in the two-dimensional code until the information passes through the external device. Can not. For this reason, even if the player obtains the information by using an external device, if the information is unnecessary for the player, the player may end up in useless work and hinder the game. Therefore, by displaying the two-dimensional code integrally with the information pattern related to the stored information, the player can grasp the information stored in the two-dimensional code without using an external device, and unnecessary information. In some cases, it is possible to reduce the possibility of performing unnecessary work to obtain the desired information or failing to obtain desired information.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described.

A medal slot 22 is provided on the right side of the pedestal portion 10, and a 1-BET button 11 is provided on the left side of the pedestal portion 10. And a maximum BET button 13 is provided. The 1-BET button 11 makes one of the credited medals bet on the game by one pressing operation, and two of the credited medals by two pressing operations. The number of bets on the game. The maximum BET button 13 sets the maximum number of bets that can be bet on a single game (three in this embodiment) to be bet on the game. By operating the BET buttons 11 and 13, the above-described pay lines 8a to 8e are activated.

  A stored medal settlement button 14 (hereinafter referred to as a C / P button 14) is provided on the left side of the front portion of the pedestal unit 10 to switch credit / payout of medals acquired by the player by a push operation. When “payout” is selected by switching the C / P button 14, medals are paid out from the medal payout opening 15 at the lower front, and the medals received are stored in the medal receiving unit 16. On the other hand, when “credit” is selected, the number of medals is stored as credits in a memory (for example, a RAM 33 described later) provided in the gaming machine 1.

  A start lever 6 for rotating the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R by a player's operation is attached to the right side of the C / P button 14 so as to be rotatable within a predetermined angular range. Three stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R for stopping the rotation of the three reels 3L, 3R, and 3C are provided at the center of the front surface of the pedestal portion 10, respectively.

  Speakers 21L and 21R are provided on the left and right above the cabinet 2, and a payout table panel 23 is provided between the two speakers 21L and 21R to display a combination of winning symbols and the number of medals. ing. In addition, an LED lamp 29 is provided above the speakers 21L and 21R and the payout table panel 23, and blinks or the like in accordance with an effect corresponding to the gaming state.

  Here, the structure of the liquid crystal display device 5 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the liquid crystal display device 5 includes a front panel 51 composed of a protective glass 52 and a display plate 53, a transparent liquid crystal panel 54, a light guide plate 55, a reflective film 56, a so-called white light source fluorescent lamp. 57a / 57b, 58a / 58b, lamp holders 59a to 59h, and a table carrier package (TCP) on which an IC for driving a transparent liquid crystal panel is mounted. TCP is a flexible substrate connected to a terminal portion of the transparent liquid crystal panel 54 (Not shown). As described above, the liquid crystal display device 5 is provided in front of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. Further, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R and the liquid crystal display device 5 are provided with a predetermined interval.

  The protective glass 52 and the display board 53 are comprised with the transparent member. On the display board 53, a pattern or the like is formed at a position corresponding to the above-described BET lamps 9a to 9c. That is, the area where the pattern or the like of the display board 53 is formed is the pattern formation area 51b of the front panel 51, and the area where the pattern or the like of the display board 53 is not formed is the display window 51a of the front panel 51. (See FIG. 2). The entire surface of the front panel 51 may be used as the display window 51a without forming the pattern forming region 51b on the front panel 51. In this case, a pattern is not formed on the display board 53 or the display board 53 may be omitted. Note that various lamps arranged on the back side of the display plate 53, electric circuits for operating various display units, and the like are not shown.

  The transparent liquid crystal panel 54 is formed by sealing liquid crystal in a gap between a transparent substrate such as a glass plate on which a thin film transistor layer is formed and a transparent substrate facing the transparent substrate. The display mode of the transparent liquid crystal panel 54 is set to normally white. The normally white is a configuration in which white display is performed (light transmitted to the display surface side is visible from the outside) in a state where the liquid crystal is not driven. By adopting a normally white transparent liquid crystal panel 54, even if there is a situation where the liquid crystal cannot be driven, the identification information such as symbols displayed on the reels 3L, 3C, 3R The variable display and the stop display can be visually recognized, and the game can be continued. That is, even when such a situation occurs, it is possible to play a game centering on the variable display mode and stop display mode of the identification information (for example, symbols) displayed on the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R.

  The light guide plate 55 is used to guide the light from the fluorescent lamps 57a and 57b to the transparent liquid crystal panel 54 (illuminate the transparent liquid crystal panel 54), and is provided on the back side of the transparent liquid crystal panel 54. It is composed of a transparent member (having a light guiding function) such as an acrylic resin having a thickness.

  The reflective film 56 is, for example, a white polyester film or an aluminum thin film formed with a silver vapor deposition film, and reflects the light introduced into the light guide plate 35 toward the front side of the light guide plate 55. The reflective film 56 includes a reflective area 56A and a non-reflective area (transmissive area) 56B.

  The fluorescent lamps 57 a and 57 b are arranged along the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the light guide plate 55, and both ends are supported by the lamp holder 59. The light emitted from the fluorescent lamps 57 a and 57 b is reflected by the reflection area 56 </ b> A of the reflection film 56 to illuminate the transparent liquid crystal panel 54.

  The fluorescent lamps 58a and 58b are disposed toward the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R at an upper position and a lower position on the back side of the reflection film 56, respectively. The light coming out of the fluorescent lamps 58a and 58b, reflected by the surfaces of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R and incident on the non-reflective area 56B illuminates the transparent liquid crystal panel 54.

  As described above, in the liquid crystal display device 5, the light irradiated from the fluorescent lamps 57a and 57b and reflected by the reflection area 56A of the reflective film 56 and the light irradiated from the fluorescent lamps 58a and 58b, the surface of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R. The light reflected and incident on the non-reflective region 56B illuminates the transparent liquid crystal panel 54. Therefore, the region of the liquid crystal display device 5 corresponding to the non-reflective region 56B of the reflective film 56 is a region that switches to a transparent / non-transparent state depending on whether or not the liquid crystal is driven. The reflective region 56A of the reflective film 56 The region of the liquid crystal display device corresponding to is in a non-transparent state regardless of whether or not the liquid crystal is driven.

  In the gaming machine 1, only a part of the area of the liquid crystal display device 5 is an area that switches to a transparent / non-transparent state. However, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the display screen of the liquid crystal display device is entirely transparent. / A region that switches to a non-transparent state may be used. In this case, in the gaming machine 1, when the entire area of the liquid crystal display device 5 is an area that switches to the transmissive state or the non-transmissive state, the reflective film 56 may be all the non-reflective area 56 </ b> B or the reflective film 56 may be omitted. .

(Two-dimensional code)
Next, contents displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 will be described. On the liquid crystal display device 5, in addition to an effect image (not shown) according to the game, a two-dimensional code 100 in which game information and the like are coded is displayed in a manner that can be captured by a CCD camera included in the mobile phone 300. Is done. It is assumed that the two-dimensional code 100 according to the present embodiment is encoded with information about an internal winning combination, information about a service held by an amusement shop, URL information for accessing a special site, and the like. Then, the player can acquire any of the above information by imaging the two-dimensional code 100 with the imaging camera of the mobile phone 300.

  The information related to the internal winning combination is information for notifying the internal winning combination. For example, the symbols written on the outer peripheral surfaces of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R to be stopped may be displayed on the mobile phone 300, or the colors of the symbols to be stopped may be displayed on the mobile phone 300. More specifically, when the internal winning combination is “watermelon”, an image of the watermelon may be displayed on the liquid crystal screen of the mobile phone 300 when the CCD camera of the mobile phone 300 captures the two-dimensional code 100. Then, a green image (for example, a character wearing green clothes) may be displayed. Moreover, the information regarding the service which a game store etc. hold | maintain is a coupon ticket which makes drinks, such as coffee free, discount tickets, etc., for example. The special site can be accessed from a mobile phone 300 that can be connected to the Internet. For example, it is possible to acquire data such as a premium image data for a standby image and ringtone melody data used for so-called ringtones. It is a site. The information stored in the two-dimensional code is not limited to the above, and can be changed as appropriate.

  In addition, the two-dimensional code 100 according to the present embodiment is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 integrally with a symbol corresponding to information stored in the two-dimensional code 100. Note that “displayed integrally with the symbol” means displaying the two-dimensional code 100 superimposed on the symbol.

  Here, the symbols displayed integrally with the two-dimensional code 100 will be described. Although specifically described later, the information to be coded is determined by lottery according to the internal winning combination. As a result of lottery, when information related to the internal winning combination is coded, the two-dimensional code 100 is displayed integrally with the symbol 101 of “7” as shown in FIG. In addition, when information related to a service held by a game shop or the like is coded, the two-dimensional code 100 is displayed integrally with a symbol 102 of “coffee cup” as shown in FIG. Further, when the URL information for accessing a special site is coded, the two-dimensional code 100 is displayed integrally with the symbol “mobile phone” 103 as shown in FIG. .

  Note that the symbol displayed integrally with the two-dimensional code may be a symbol as shown in FIG. Specifically, when coding information that can be used to obtain a hamburger free coupon, the hamburger symbol 104 and the character “coupon service” are displayed together with the two-dimensional code, or in addition to FIG. The character “informing the internal winning combination” may be displayed together with the symbol 101 of a), or the character “distributing standby image” may be displayed together with the symbol 103 of FIG. 6C. In this case, it may be possible to make the contents of the two-dimensional code clearer than when notifying the player of the contents of the two-dimensional code using only the symbols.

  Thus, the player can display the two-dimensional code 100 by displaying the two-dimensional code 100 integrally with each of the symbols 101, 102, and 103, and displaying the symbols and the characters indicating the contents. In some cases, information stored in the two-dimensional code 100 can be predicted or grasped without being imaged by the mobile phone 300. For example, if the two-dimensional code 100 is displayed integrally with the symbol 101 of “7”, the player may understand the internal winning combination if the two-dimensional code 100 is imaged by the mobile phone 300. May be predictable. Also, if the two-dimensional code 100 is displayed integrally with the “mobile phone” symbol 103, the player can obtain the URL of the site, but can determine that it is unnecessary for himself and perform unnecessary operations. You may not have to.

  In the case where the two-dimensional code 100 of the present embodiment is information in which the internal winning combination is coded, that is, when the two-dimensional code 100 is displayed integrally with the symbol 101 of “7”. The color of the two-dimensional code 100 is changed by the internal winning combination. As will be described later, the internal winning combination includes a so-called “bonus” such as “BB” that can acquire a large amount of medals, a so-called “small role” such as “watermelon” that can acquire a small number of medals, and the like. Therefore, even if the player can determine that the information regarding the internal winning combination is stored in the two-dimensional code 100 because the two-dimensional code 100 is displayed integrally with the symbol 101, It may not be possible to determine whether it is a “bonus” or a “small role”. Therefore, by changing the color of the two-dimensional code 100 according to the internal winning combination, the player may be able to more easily predict the information of the two-dimensional code 100, and the two-dimensional displayed on the player himself / herself. In some cases, the value of the code 100 can be determined.

(Electric configuration of gaming machine: main control circuit)

(Game state)
The gaming machine 1 configured as described above causes three types of game states to appear: “general game state”, “RB game state”, and “BB general game state”. Each of these “three types” of game states basically includes the types of roles that may be won internally, the probability of internal winning in replays, the types of bonuses that can be established and the internal winnings. It is distinguished by the relationship with winning a prize.

  The “general gaming state” basically means a gaming state in which an expected value of a so-called “participation rate” (a valuable value given to a player with respect to a unit valuable value bet on a game) is smaller than “1”. This is a gaming state that is most disadvantageous for the player as compared to other gaming states.

  The “BB general gaming state” is generated when the BB is won internally and the BB is won in the “general gaming state”. The BB winning is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-red 7” or “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” along the active line in the “general gaming state”. The “BB general game state” ends when 30 small-games or 3 RBs (regular bonus) are consumed. The “BB general gaming state” may be ended when the payout of a predetermined number of medals is completed.

  The “RB gaming state” has a higher expected value of the payout rate than the “general gaming state”, and is the most advantageous gaming state for the player as compared to other gaming states. The “RB gaming state” is generated when an RB (regular bonus) is won in the “general gaming state” or the “BB general gaming state”. The RB winning is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-blue 7” along the active line in the general gaming state or the BB general gaming state. The establishment of RB winning in the “BB general gaming state” is generally referred to as “JACIN”, and the subsequent game is referred to as “JAC game”. The transition between the game states is performed when a combination of bonus symbols is displayed on the winning line.

(Pattern combination and number of payouts)
Next, a description will be given of the relationship between the gaming state, the symbol combination indicating the winning and the number of medals paid out. In the general gaming state, “BB”, “RB”, “Replay”, “Watermelon Minor”, “Bell Minor”, “Upper Chile Minor” and “Lower Chile Minor” There is a possibility of winning a prize. “BB” is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-red 7” or “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” along the active line. “RB” is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-blue 7” along the active line. The payout number of these medals is “0”. Further, “replay” is established by arranging “Replay-Replay-Replay”. When a re-game winning is established, the same number of medals as the number of inserted medals are automatically inserted, so that the player can play the next game without consuming the medals. In the case of watermelon, bell, upper chile and lower chile, six, ten, six and six medals are paid out, respectively.

  In the BB general gaming state, there is a possibility of winning “RB”, “Watermelon Minor”, “Bell Minor”, “Upper Chile Minor” and “Lower Chile Minor”. In the RB gaming state, there is a possibility of winning a small role of “re-game”, “watermelon”, “bell”, and “upper / lower chile”. In the case of watermelons, bells, and upper and lower chiles, six, ten, and six medals are paid out, respectively.

(2D code lottery table)
Next, a two-dimensional code lottery table that determines whether or not the two-dimensional code 100 is displayed in the general gaming state will be described with reference to FIG. The two-dimensional code lottery table is stored in the program ROM 75 of the sub-control circuit 72, and is used when determining the display of the two-dimensional code 100 in the general gaming state. The two-dimensional code lottery table has a winning combination column and a code type column that stores the type of information to be two-dimensionally encoded, and a random number range from 0 to 256 is assigned to each column. .

  In the code type column, “internal winning combination”, “service”, “URL”, and “none” are stored. “Internal winning combination” means that information on the internal winning combination determined by the internal lottery is coded. “Service” means that information related to a service held by an amusement store or the like is coded. “URL” means encoding URL information for accessing a special site. “None” means that a two-dimensional code is not displayed.

  In this table, for example, when the internal winning combination is “watermelon”, when a random number in the range of “0 to 30” is extracted, it is determined to encode information on the internal winning combination. Further, when the internal winning combination is “BB”, when a random number in the range of “30 to 45” is extracted, it is determined to encode information on the service held by the amusement store. Furthermore, when the internal winning combination is “RB”, when a random number in the range of “20 to 44” is extracted, it is determined to encode information related to a service held by a game shop or the like. When the internal winning combination is “bell”, when a random number in the range of “51 to 256” is extracted, it is determined not to display the two-dimensional code. When the internal winning combination is “None”, that is, when the internal winning combination is not won, the two-dimensional code is not displayed.

  In the present embodiment, a two-dimensional code lottery table (FIG. 9) referred to in the general gaming state is shown, but a lottery table corresponding to each of the other gaming states, the BB general gaming state and the RB gaming state is also provided. It is referred to and a two-dimensional code is determined.

(Color determination table)
Next, a color determination table referred to when determining the color of the two-dimensional code will be described with reference to FIG. The color determination table is stored in the program ROM 75 of the sub control circuit 72, and is referred to when it is determined in FIG. 9 that the information related to the internal winning combination is coded. The color determination table has a winning combination column and a color column, and the color of the two-dimensional code is set corresponding to each column. In the color column, the display color of the two-dimensional code 100 is stored.

  For example, when the gaming state is the general gaming state and the winning combination is “BB”, the color of the two-dimensional code 100 is set to “red”. When the game state is the general game state and the winning combination is “watermelon”, the color of the two-dimensional code 100 is set to “blue”. Thus, by changing the color of the two-dimensional code according to the internal winning combination, the player may be able to determine the value of the two-dimensional code in which the information related to the internal winning combination is coded.

(Operation of the main control circuit 71)
With the above configuration, the control operation of the CPU 31 of the main control circuit 71 will be described with reference to the flowchart of the main routine shown in FIG.

  First, the CPU 31 performs initialization at the start of the game (A1). Specifically, initialization of the storage contents of the RAM 33, initialization of communication data, and the like are performed. Subsequently, the predetermined stored contents of the RAM 33 at the end of the game are erased (A2). Specifically, the data in the writable area of the RAM 33 used for the previous game is erased, the parameters necessary for the next game are written in the write area of the RAM 33, the start address of the sequence program for the next game, etc. I do. Next, the CPU 31 stands by until there is an input from the inserted medal sensor 22S or the BET switches 11S and 13S (A3). Thereafter, a medal insertion signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72, and it is determined whether or not the start switch 6S is turned on by operating the start lever 6 (A4).

  When the start switch 6S is not turned on (A4: NO), the process waits for input by repeating A4. When the start switch 6S is turned on (A4: YES), the game start signal is sub-controlled. Along with transmitting to the circuit 72, a random number for lottery is extracted (A5). And the game state in this game is confirmed by performing a game state monitoring process (A6). That is, the game state of the current game is set to any one of the BB general game state, the RB game state, and the general game state.

  Then, a probability lottery process is performed (A7), and an internal winning combination is determined. Subsequently, stop table group selection processing is executed (A8). Specifically, a specific stop table group is selected using the type of internal winning combination. The stop table group is used when the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are stopped in A10 later. Here, a game information signal including information related to the internal winning combination, gaming state, stop table group, and symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72. Subsequently, a reel rotation process is performed (A9). Specifically, the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are rotated, and when a predetermined speed (for example, constant speed rotation) is reached, a reel stop permission signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72. The reel stop permission signal includes a detection signal that is detected when the symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination is positioned on the effective line (specifically, the center line 8c) after the predetermined speed is reached. included.

  Next, a reel rotation stop process is executed (A10). That is, the sliding frame number determination process for determining the number of sliding frames is performed at the timing when any one of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R is operated or when the value of the automatic stop timer becomes “0”. Specifically, the number of sliding symbols is determined based on the stop table, stop operation position, and stop control position determined (selected) in A9. “The number of sliding symbols” is the number of symbols that move until the reel stops after the stop button is operated (shows the amount of movement (movement distance) of the symbol until the reel stops) . In the present embodiment, the “slip frame number” is “0”. That is, the reels are stopped simultaneously with the operation of the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R. Subsequently, the reel corresponding to the stop button for which the stop operation has been performed is rotated by the number of sliding frames and then stopped. Note that a reel stop signal (left, middle, right) is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72 every time the stop button 7L, 7C, 7R is operated and the corresponding reel stops. Further, when all reels are stopped, an all reel stop signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72.

  Next, the CPU 31 makes a winning determination (A11). In the winning determination, a winning combination (a winning combination) is identified based on a stop pattern of nine symbols of the reel that can be visually recognized through the transmissive liquid crystal panel 54. Specifically, a winning combination is identified based on a code number of symbols arranged along the center line 8c and a winning determination table. Then, the winning signal is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72. Thereafter, the acquired medal is credited or paid out (A12). Specifically, when a medal is acquired by winning, the payout number display unit 18 displays the acquired number of medals. Then, by switching the C / P button 14 by the player, it is possible to select whether to credit the acquired medal into the gaming machine 1 or pay out the medal from the medal payout exit 15. The credited medals can be bet by pressing the BET buttons 11 and 13 in the next game. When it is determined that the winning combination is BB or RB, the BB or RB gaming state is generated.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the current gaming state is “BB general gaming state” or “RB gaming state” (A13). If the gaming state is not “BB general gaming state” or “RB gaming state” (A13: NO), the process returns to A2. When the gaming state is “BB general gaming state” or “RB gaming state” (A13: YES), a “game number check process” of bonus (BB, RB) is performed (A14). In this “game number check process”, the number of times the RB gaming state has occurred, the number of games in the BB general gaming state, the number of winnings in the RB gaming state, and the number of games in the RB gaming state are checked, and the BB general gaming state and RB Transition (set) of gaming state between gaming states is performed.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the bonus is over (A15). Specifically, after the BB winning is established, whether the number of wins is 8 or the number of games is 12 in the third RB gaming state, or is the number of games is 30 in the BB general gaming state Determine whether or not. In addition, after “RB7-Red 7-Blue 7” is arranged along the active line, after the RB winning is established, whether or not the number of winnings is 8 times or the number of games is 12 times in the RB gaming state. Is determined. As a result, when it is determined that the bonus is not finished (A15: NO), the process returns to A2. On the other hand, if it is determined that the bonus has ended (A15: YES), a bonus end signal is output to the sub-control circuit 72 (A16), and the process returns to A2.

(Operation of sub control circuit)
Next, the control operation of the sub-control circuit 72 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of the processing routines shown in FIGS.

(2D code display processing routine)
When the two-dimensional code display processing routine of FIG. 12 is executed, it is first determined whether or not a game information signal has been received from the main control circuit 71 (B1). The game information signal includes a game state and an internal winning combination. If no game information signal has been received (B1: NO), B1 is repeated until it is received. When a game information signal is received (B1: YES), a two-dimensional code lottery process is performed (B2). Specifically, based on the gaming state and the internal winning combination included in the gaming information signal, it is determined whether or not to display the two-dimensional code with reference to the table shown in FIG.

  Next, it is determined whether or not to display a two-dimensional code as a result of lottery (B3). If no two-dimensional code is displayed as a result of lottery (B3: NO), the process returns to B1. When displaying a two-dimensional code (B3: YES), a two-dimensional code generation process shown in FIG. 13 described later is executed to generate a two-dimensional code (B4). Then, symbol data to be displayed integrally with the two-dimensional code is generated (B5). For example, when the information related to the internal winning combination is coded as a result of lottery, the symbol data of the symbol 101 shown in FIG. 6A is generated.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the information encoded in B4 is information related to the internal winning combination (B6). When the coded information is information related to the internal winning combination (B6: YES), the color of the two-dimensional code to be displayed is determined (B7). That is, the color for displaying the two-dimensional code is determined using the table shown in FIG. For example, when the game state is the general game state and the internal winning combination is “BB”, the generated two-dimensional code is determined to be displayed in red with reference to the table shown in FIG. Then, the generated two-dimensional code and design are displayed integrally (B8). At this time, the two-dimensional code is displayed in the color determined in B6.

  On the other hand, when the coded information is not information related to the internal winning combination (B6: NO), that is, information related to a service held by a game shop or the like, or URL information for accessing a special site is coded. , B8, and the generated two-dimensional code and design are integrally displayed (B8). Note that the two-dimensional code in this case is displayed in monochrome.

  Next, it is determined whether or not all reels have been stopped (B9). That is, it is determined whether an all reel stop signal has been received from the main control circuit 71. If all reels are not stopped (B9: NO), B9 is repeated. When all the reels are stopped (B9: YES), it is subsequently determined whether or not medals have been inserted (B10). When a medal is inserted (B10: YES), the process proceeds to B12, the displayed two-dimensional code is deleted (B12), and the process returns to B1. If no medal is inserted (B10: NO), it is determined whether or not a predetermined time has passed (B11). If the predetermined time has not passed (B11: NO), the process returns to B10. When the predetermined time has elapsed (B11: YES), the process proceeds to B12, the displayed two-dimensional code is deleted (B12), and the process returns to B1. That is, the two-dimensional code is displayed until the next game is started, and is erased when the next game is started.

(Two-dimensional code generation processing routine)
Next, the two-dimensional code generation processing routine will be described with reference to FIG. First, the information to be coded determined in B2 of FIG. 12 is set in the work RAM 76 (C1). Next, a mode identifier corresponding to the character type (for example, numbers, alphanumeric characters, kanji, etc.) of the set information is created in the work RAM 76 (C2). Then, a character number identifier corresponding to the number of characters of the set information is created in the work RAM 76 (C3). Next, a process of binarizing the set information is performed (C4). And the process which adds a termination | terminus pattern to the data obtained by C1-C4 is performed (C5).

  Subsequently, the code word conversion of the data obtained by C5 is performed (C6), and an error correction code word is created based on the data obtained by C6 and added to the data obtained by C6 (C7). . Then, the data obtained by C7 is binarized and arranged in a matrix (C8). Next, a process of masking a predetermined pattern on the data obtained in C7 is performed (C9). Next, a process of adding format information including an error correction level and a mask identifier is performed (C10), and a two-dimensional code is generated (C11). And this routine is complete | finished and it transfers to B5 of FIG.

(Electric configuration of mobile phone)
Next, a mobile phone 300 that captures an image of the two-dimensional code 100 displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 of the gaming machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The cellular phone 300 includes an operation unit 304, a liquid crystal panel 306, a CCD camera 308 as an imaging unit, a wireless unit 310, an audio circuit 312, a speaker 314, a microphone 316, a transmission / reception antenna 318, a nonvolatile memory 320, a microcomputer 322, and a secondary. A battery 324 is provided.

  The wireless unit 310 is controlled by the microcomputer 322 and transmits / receives to / from the base station using radio waves as a medium through the transmission / reception antenna 318. The audio circuit 312 outputs the reception signal output from the wireless unit 310 through the microcomputer 322 to the speaker 314 and outputs the audio signal output from the microphone 316 to the wireless unit 310 through the microcomputer 322 as a transmission signal.

  The speaker 314 converts the reception signal output from the audio circuit 312 into reception audio and outputs it, and the microphone 316 converts the transmission audio emitted from the operator into an audio signal and outputs it to the audio circuit 312. The CCD camera 308 can image the two-dimensional code 100 displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 of the gaming machine 1, and image data obtained by imaging is stored in the nonvolatile memory 320. In the present embodiment, a case where a CCD camera is used as the imaging unit will be described. However, the imaging unit in the present invention is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a CMOS sensor camera.

  The nonvolatile memory 320 stores, for example, various data such as image data obtained by the CCD camera 308 imaging a two-dimensional code, image data for a standby image, and various programs in a nonvolatile manner. The secondary battery 324 supplies power to each circuit. The microcomputer 322 includes a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM. For example, a two-dimensional code analysis that generates information on an internal winning combination from image data obtained when the CCD camera 308 images the two-dimensional code 100. In addition to processing, processing for making / receiving calls, creation / transmission processing of e-mail, Internet processing, and the like are performed. Note that transmission / reception of electronic mail and transmission / reception of data via the Internet are performed by the microcomputer 322 via the wireless unit 310 and the transmission / reception antenna 318. Information generated by the two-dimensional code analysis process is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 306.

  Next, the operation of the mobile phone 300 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the microcomputer 322 included in the mobile phone 300 drives a CCD camera 308 as an imaging unit based on an instruction input via the operation unit 304, and the CCD camera 308 is used in the liquid crystal display device 5 of the gaming machine 1. A symbol included in the image displayed in (2) is captured (D1). Thereafter, the microcomputer 322 stores the captured image data in the nonvolatile memory 320 (D2).

  Next, the microcomputer 322 performs image conversion processing on the image data stored in the nonvolatile memory 320 (D3). The image conversion process extracts the image data of the area where the two-dimensional code is displayed from the image data obtained by imaging, corrects the inclination and distortion, converts the image data to a monochrome image with a predetermined threshold, and views it from the front This is processing for obtaining image data including a two-dimensional code. Then, it is determined whether the image conversion is possible (D4). If image conversion is possible (D4: YES), the microcomputer 322 extracts a two-dimensional code from the image data obtained in D3 and performs correction such as noise removal (D5). If image conversion is impossible (D4: NO), the display on the display screen of the mobile phone 300 displays that the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 of the gaming machine 1 is not a two-dimensional code and cannot be read. (D11). Then, this routine ends.

  After D5, the microcomputer 322 binarizes the two-dimensional code obtained in D5, replaces each dot constituting the two-dimensional code with “0” or “1” (D6), and binarizes. Matrix data is generated (D7). Next, the microcomputer 322 decodes the binarized matrix data (D8) and generates information (D9). Then, information is displayed on the display screen of the mobile phone 300 (D10). Thereafter, this routine is terminated.

(Outline of this embodiment)
As described above, in the present embodiment, variation display means (reels 3L, 3C, 3R, etc.) for variably displaying a plurality of symbols, lottery means (microcomputer 30, etc.) for lottery relating to game results, and lottery means Based on the result of lottery, the stop control means (microcomputer 30 or the like) for stopping and displaying symbols, and the result of lottery by lottery means and / or the stop display mode of a plurality of symbols can be beneficial to the player. Information related to information stored in the two-dimensional code, such as a two-dimensional code generation means (such as the sub-microcomputer 73) that generates a two-dimensional code that stores information readable through an external device Provided with display means (liquid crystal display device 5, sub-microcomputer 73, etc.) for displaying the symbols (symbols 101, 102, 103, etc.) integrally. And has a configuration was.

  According to this configuration, a two-dimensional code storing information that can be beneficial to the player is displayed integrally with an information pattern related to the information. That is, by visually recognizing the information symbol displayed integrally with the two-dimensional code, the contents of the information stored in the two-dimensional code may be grasped. Therefore, the player may be able to determine the value of the displayed two-dimensional code by visually recognizing the information symbol, and thereby determine whether or not to read the information through an external device.

  Specifically, since the two-dimensional code can read information via an external device, the player can grasp the information stored in the two-dimensional code until the information passes through the external device. Can not. For this reason, even if the player obtains the information by using an external device, if the information is unnecessary for the player, the player may end up in useless work and hinder the game. Therefore, by displaying the two-dimensional code integrally with the information pattern related to the stored information, the player can grasp the information stored in the two-dimensional code without using an external device, and unnecessary information. In some cases, it is possible to reduce the possibility of performing unnecessary work to obtain the desired information or failing to obtain desired information.

(Modification of this embodiment)
