The display mode of the liquid crystal panel 134 is set to normally white. The normally white is a configuration in which white display is performed in a state where the liquid crystal is not driven (that is, a state where no voltage is applied to the liquid crystal panel 134). That is, since light is transmitted to the display surface side, the transmitted light is visually recognized from the outside.

  Therefore, by adopting the normally white liquid crystal panel 134, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R pass through the symbol display areas 21L, 21C, 21R even when the liquid crystal cannot be driven. The symbols arranged above can be visually recognized, and the game can be continued. That is, even when a situation in which the liquid crystal cannot be driven occurs, it is possible to play a game centering on the rotation and stop of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

Thereby, the liquid crystal panel 134 is illuminated. The reflective film 136 includes a reflective region 136A and a non-reflective region (that is, a transmissive region) 136BL, 136BC, and 136BR. The non-reflective regions 136BL, 136BC, and 136BR are formed as a light transmissive portion that is formed of a transparent material and transmits incident light without being reflected.

  Further, the non-reflective areas 136BL, 136BC, and 136BR are provided at positions in front of the symbols to be displayed when the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R is stopped. The sizes and positions of the non-reflective areas 136BL, 136BC, 136BR are formed so as to coincide with the symbol display areas 21L, 21C, 21R (see FIG. 2). In addition, in the reflective film 136, a region other than the non-reflective regions 136BL, 136BC, and 136BR is set as a reflective region 136A, and the light introduced into the light guide plate 135 by the reflective region 136A is reflected toward the front side.

  The fluorescent lamps 137a and 137b are disposed along the upper and lower ends of the light guide plate 135, and both ends are supported by lamp holders 139a, 139b, 139g, and 139h. The fluorescent lamps 137 a and 137 b generate light to be introduced into the light guide plate 135.

  The fluorescent lamps 138a and 138b are disposed at an upper position and a lower position on the back side of the reflection film 136. The light emitted from the fluorescent lamps 138a and 138b is reflected by the surfaces of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, and enters the non-reflective areas 136BL, 136BC, and 136BR. The incident light passes through the non-reflective regions 136BL, 136BC, and 136BR to illuminate the liquid crystal panel 134.

  Further, the functions of the LED lamps and fluorescent lamps 137a, 137b, 138a, 138b will be described.

  First, the function of each lamp when the liquid crystal in the symbol display areas 21L, 21C, and 21R is not driven (that is, when no voltage is applied to the portions corresponding to the symbol display areas 21L, 21C, and 21R of the liquid crystal panel 134). Will be described.

  A part of the light emitted from the fluorescent lamps 138a and 138b is reflected by the reel sheet. In addition, a part of the light emitted from the LED lamp provided on the LED storage circuit board passes through the reel sheet. Since these lights are transmitted through the non-reflective areas 136BL, 136BC, 136BR, the light guide plate 135 and the liquid crystal panel 134 constituting the liquid crystal display device 131, the player can visually recognize the symbols arranged on the reel. .

  The light emitted from the fluorescent lamps 137a and 137b and introduced toward the light guide plate 135 is transmitted through the liquid crystal panel 134 and enters the player's eyes. That is, the fluorescent lamps 137a and 137b illuminate the areas of the liquid crystal panel 134 corresponding to the window frame display areas 22L, 22C, and 22R and the effect display area 23.

  Next, the function of each lamp when driving the liquid crystal in the symbol display areas 21L, 21C, and 21R (that is, when applying a voltage to the portion corresponding to the symbol display areas 21L, 21C, and 21R of the liquid crystal panel 134). Will be described.

  A part of the light emitted from the fluorescent lamps 138a and 138b is reflected by the reel sheet. Further, part of the light emitted from the LED lamp passes through the reel sheet. Among the areas of the liquid crystal panel 134, in the area where the liquid crystal is driven, a part of the light is reflected, absorbed or transmitted, so that the player is displayed in the symbol display areas 21L, 21C and 21R. An effect image or the like can be visually recognized.

  FIG. 4 shows a symbol row in which 21 types of symbols represented on the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are arranged. Each symbol is assigned a code number “00” to “20”, and is stored in a ROM 32 (FIG. 5), which will be described later, as a data table. On each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, “red 7 (design 91)”, “blue 7 (design 92)”, “BAR (design 93)”, “bell (design 94)”, “watermelon (design 95) ) "," Cherry (symbol 96) "," Replay (symbol 97) ", and" Blank (symbol 98) ". Each reel 3L, 3C, 3R is rotationally driven so that the symbol row moves in the direction of the arrow in FIG.

  Here, RB (regular bonus), BB1 (big bonus 1), BB2 (big bonus 2), replay, watermelon, cherry, and special small part are provided in the embodiment.

  The combination (combination data) is basically control information in which a profit given to a player is associated with a symbol combination, stop control of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, switching (transition) of the game state, It is used to give game value.

  In addition, the gaming state of the embodiment includes a general gaming state and a specific gaming state. The gaming state can be basically distinguished by an internal lottery table (FIG. 7 described later) used for determining the internal winning combination. Specifically, the gaming state can be distinguished by the type of a role that may be won internally, the probability of winning internally, and the like.

The general gaming state is a gaming state in which an expected value of a so-called “play rate” (the number of medals to be paid out to the player with respect to the number of medals inserted to play a game) is smaller than one.
The specific gaming state is a gaming state that is more advantageous than the general gaming state.

Display units such as the display unit 16, the payout display unit 18, the credit display unit 19 and the like, and a hopper (including a drive unit for payout) 40 that stores medals and pays out a predetermined number of medals according to a command from the hopper drive circuit 41. And stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R for rotating the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  Further, a motor drive circuit 39 for driving and controlling the stepping motors 49L, 49C and 49R, a hopper drive circuit 41 for driving and controlling the hopper 40, a lamp drive circuit 45 for driving and controlling the BET lamps 17a, 17b and 17c, and a bonus game information display A display unit drive circuit 48 that drives and controls display units such as the unit 16, the payout display unit 18, and the credit display unit 19 is connected to the output unit of the CPU 31. Each of these drive circuits receives a control signal such as a drive command output from the CPU 31, and controls the operation of each actuator.

  The main input signal generating means for generating an input signal necessary for the microcomputer 30 to generate a control command includes a start switch 6S, a stop switch 7LS, 7CS, 7RS, a 1-BET switch 11, and a 2-BET. There are a switch 12, a maximum BET switch 13, a C / P switch 14, a medal sensor 10S, a reel position detection circuit 50, a payout completion signal circuit 51, and a time measuring unit 151.

  The start switch 6S detects the operation of the start lever 6 and outputs a game start command signal (a signal for instructing the start of the game). The medal sensor 10S detects a medal inserted into the medal insertion slot 10. The stop switches 7LS, 7CS, and 7RS generate a stop command signal (a signal for instructing to stop the change of the symbol) in accordance with the operation of the corresponding stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R. The reel position detection circuit 50 receives the pulse signal from the reel rotation sensor and supplies a signal for detecting the position of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R to the CPU 31. The payout completion signal circuit 51 generates a signal for detecting completion of the medal payout when the count value of the medal detection unit 40S (the number of medals paid out from the hopper 40) reaches the designated number data.

  In the circuit of FIG. 5, the random number generator 36 generates a random number belonging to a certain numerical range, and the sampling circuit 37 samples one random number at an appropriate timing after the start lever 6 is operated. By using the random number sampled in this way, an internal winning combination or the like is determined based on an internal lottery table (FIG. 7 described later) stored in the ROM 32, for example. The internal symbol combination (internal symbol combination data) is that the corresponding symbol combination and the profit given to the player are indirectly associated with each other through the stop control mode corresponding to the internal symbol combination I can say that.

  After the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the number of drive pulses supplied to each of the stepping motors 49L, 49C, 49R is counted, and the counted value is written in a predetermined area of the RAM 33. From the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, reset pulses are obtained for each rotation, and these pulses are input to the CPU 31 via the reel position detection circuit 50. The count value of the drive pulse counted in the RAM 33 is cleared to “0” by the reset pulse thus obtained. As a result, the RAM 33 stores count values corresponding to the rotational positions within the range of one rotation for each of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  A symbol arrangement table (FIG. 6) is stored in the ROM 32 in order to associate the rotational positions of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R as described above with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the reel. In this symbol table, the code number sequentially given for each fixed rotation pitch of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R with reference to the rotation position where the reset pulse is generated as described above is provided corresponding to each code number. A symbol code indicating the displayed symbol is associated with the symbol.

  When the internal winning combination is determined by lottery processing (internal lottery processing or the like) based on the random number sampling, the CPU 31 starts from the stop switches 7LS, 7CS, 7RS at the timing when the player operates the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R. Based on the operation signal sent and the determined stop table, a signal for controlling the stop of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is sent to the motor drive circuit 39.

  If it becomes a stop mode (that is, a winning mode) indicating winning of the winning combination, the CPU 31 supplies a payout command signal to the hopper driving circuit 41 and pays out a predetermined number of medals from the hopper 40. At this time, the medal detection unit 40S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 40, and when the count value reaches a designated number, a medal payout completion signal is input to the CPU 31. Thereby, CPU31 stops the drive of the hopper 40 via the hopper drive circuit 41, and complete | finishes a medal payout process.

  The symbol arrangement table will be described with reference to FIG. In the symbol arrangement table, “symbol position” and “symbol” are associated with each reel.

  The “symbol position” indicates the position of the symbol on the reel. The position is indicated by a code number on the reel. The “symbol” is a symbol drawn on the outer peripheral surface of each reel. For example, on the left reel 3L, a symbol “watermelon” is drawn at code number 0 indicating a position on the reel, and a symbol “red 7” is drawn at code number 20.

  The internal lottery table will be described with reference to FIG. This internal lottery table associates the symbol combination, information about the establishment of the symbol combination, and information when the symbol combination is established. The information regarding the establishment of the symbol combination is used in a specific gaming state which is a “gaming probability for general gaming state” used in the general gaming state and a gaming state (BB gaming state, RB gaming state to be described later) more advantageous than the general gaming state. The information when the symbol combination is established is composed of “contents of the combination”, “payout number”, and “end condition” of the specific gaming state.

  The “symbol combination” indicates a combination when symbols to be combined are stopped in the symbol display areas 21L, 21C, and 21R and arranged on the effective line. For example, when “red 7-red 7-red 7” are aligned on the active line, it indicates that they are useful.

  The “general gaming state lottery probability” is a probability that each combination wins when the gaming state is the general gaming state. The lottery is performed by extracting random numbers.

  The “specific game state lottery probability” is a probability that each combination wins when the game state is the specific game state.

  “Contents of a combination” indicates the content of a combination of symbols. For example, a combination in which “red 7-red 7-red 7” are aligned on the active line is a role, and the content is a specific game combination that changes the game state to a specific game state, such as BB1 (Big Bonus 1). Is shown.

  The “payout number” is the number of medals to be paid out when winning a combination. For example, when “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” stops on the active line, 15 medals are paid out.

  The “end condition” is an end condition for the specific gaming state. That is, it is a condition for switching from the specific gaming state to the general gaming state (transition).

Here, the specific gaming state includes a BB (big bonus) gaming state and an RB (regular bonus) gaming state. The BB gaming state refers to a gaming state in which a BB gaming state is caused by a specific combination and the game state shifts to a general gaming state when the payout number exceeds a predetermined number. The RB gaming state refers to a gaming state in which the player enters the RB gaming state by a specific combination and shifts to the general gaming state when the number of winnings exceeds a predetermined number or the number of gamings exceeds a predetermined number. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, BB1 ends the BB gaming state when the payout number exceeds 465 and BB2 exceeds 360. Also, the RB game state ends when the number of wins of any of the small roles such as watermelon, cherry, or bell is 8 or the number of games is 12.
In the case of replay, when “Replay-Replay-Replay” is aligned on the active line, the number of BETs in the unit game is automatically inserted, and the game can be played again with the number of BETs in the previous game. Say.

  The character data table will be described with reference to FIG. The character data table associates “character ID” with “character”. “Character ID” is an identifier of a character associated with the character. The “character” stores a basic image of the character.

  The character table will be described with reference to FIG. The character table associates “game score” with “character change information” for “character ID”. The “game score” stores the score that is counted when the symbol combinations are arranged on the active line, and the character is changed when the score is reached. “Character change information” stores information for changing the basic image of the character. For example, in the case where the character is a warrior, information is stored that when the accumulated number of games reaches 100, the warrior starts speaking and when it reaches 200, the armor comes to be worn.

  The message table will be described with reference to FIG. In the message table, “game status” and “basic message” are associated with “character ID”. The “game situation” includes, for example, a start state, start of rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, a winning state, and the like. The “basic message” stores a basic message when a history message corresponding to a character is created. For example, a history message can be created by synthesizing the number of hits in the xxx part from the basic message “captain that was the number of hits in xxx times last time”.

  The game history data table will be described with reference to FIG. The game history data table stores game history data corresponding to the password. The game history data includes the previous date, game machine type, game machine number, game time, IN coin, OUT coin, hit count, jackpot count, total hit count so far, jackpot count, game count, game time, There are game points. The game machine type and the game machine number are effective when a server exists. Not only these, but also rankings can be stored. When the game is started, game history data corresponding to the password is searched from the game history data table and stored in the RAM of the sub-control circuit 72. After the game is over, it can be stored in the auxiliary storage device 191 etc. and continued next time. Or, if the server exists, it can be transmitted to the server and continued next time.

[Main flowchart]
With reference to the main flowchart shown in FIG. 12, the control operation of the main control circuit 71 as game control means will be described.

  First, in step S1, the CPU 31 of the main control circuit 71 performs initialization at the start of the game (at the start of the game). The CPU 31 initializes the storage contents of the RAM 33, initializes communication data, and the like. Subsequently, the predetermined stored contents of the RAM 33 at the end of the game are erased, the data in the writable area of the RAM 33 used in the previous game is erased, and the parameters necessary for the next game are written in the write area of the RAM 33. . Specifically, the game state flag indicating the gaming state (general gaming state / BB gaming state / RB gaming state) is turned OFF, the winning number counter for counting and storing the winning number, and the gaming number counter for counting and storing the gaming number The payout number counter that counts and stores the payout number is set to zero. Thereafter, the CPU 31 moves the process to step S2.

  In step S2, the CPU 31 confirms that the player has performed a game start operation after the BET operation. Specifically, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the start lever 6 has been operated after the BET operation. If the start lever 6 has not been operated, the CPU 31 moves the process to step S2. When the start lever 6 is operated, the CPU 31 determines that the player has performed a game start operation, and moves the process to step S3.

  In step S3, the CPU 31 notifies the sub control circuit 72 that a coin has been inserted and a game has started. Specifically, the CPU 31 transmits a game start notification signal to the sub control circuit 72. Thereby, the sub-control circuit 72 associates the character history message with the internal lottery and the reels 3L, 3C, 3R start to rotate. Thereafter, the CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S4.

  In step S4, the CPU 31 performs an internal lottery depending on the gaming state. That is, based on whether the gaming state is a general gaming state or a specific gaming state (BB gaming state / RB gaming state), an internal lottery is performed to determine a symbol combination. Specifically, the CPU 31 extracts random numbers for lottery, and when the game state flag is OFF, the “general game state lottery probability” in the internal lottery table (FIG. 7) is used, and the game state flag is not OFF. In this case, the “design combination” is determined using the “lottery probability for a specific gaming state”. Thereafter, the CPU 31 moves the process to step S5.

  In step S5, the CPU 31 rotates the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R, and the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R are rotated when the player presses the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R, or when a certain time elapses. Stop 3R. Specifically, the CPU 31 sets a reel stop time monitoring timer for stopping the reels 3L, 3C, 3R after a predetermined time has elapsed, and rotates the reels 3L, 3C, 3R. Then, the reels 3L, 3C, 3R are turned on in response to the player pressing the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, or when the reel stop time monitoring timer has elapsed for a certain time. Stop. In addition, when starting rotation, a signal for notifying the start of rotation is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72. Thereby, the sub control circuit 72 associates the history message of the character with the reels 3L, 3C, 3R being in a rotation start state. Thereafter, the CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S6.

  In step S6, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the stopped symbol combination has won a prize. Specifically, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the stopped symbol combination is a symbol combination corresponding to a winning combination. If the symbol combination does not correspond to a winning combination, the CPU 31 determines that no winning has been won, and the process proceeds to step S11. If it corresponds to a winning combination, it is determined that a winning has been won, and the process proceeds to step S7.

  In step S7, the CPU 31 pays out based on the stopped symbol combination. Specifically, the CPU 31 pays out the payout number corresponding to the stopped symbol combination based on the internal lottery table (FIG. 7). Thereafter, the CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S8.

  In step S8, the CPU 31 performs subtraction processing for the winning number counter and the payout number counter based on the current gaming state. Specifically, when the game state flag is in the BB game state, the CPU 31 subtracts the current payout number from the payout number counter. When the game state flag is the RB game state, 1 is subtracted from the winning number counter. In addition, a signal notifying the result is transmitted to the sub control circuit 72. Thereby, the sub-control circuit 72 updates the game history data in accordance with the current result, and associates the character history message display. Thereafter, the CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S9.

  In step S9, the CPU 31 subtracts the game number counter based on the current game state. Specifically, when the game state flag is in the RB game state, the CPU 31 subtracts 1 from the game number counter. Thereafter, the CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S10.

  In step S10, the CPU 31 sets a game state based on the current game result and various counters for the game state. That is, when the current gaming state is the general gaming state, it is determined whether or not to shift to the specific gaming state (BB gaming state / RB gaming state), and the current gaming state is the specific gaming state (BB gaming state / BB If it is (RB gaming state), it is determined whether or not to shift to the general gaming state.

  Specifically, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the gaming state flag is OFF. If the gaming state flag is OFF (general gaming state), the CPU 31 determines the current gaming result. That is, based on the internal lottery table (FIG. 7), the “contents of the combination” corresponding to the stopped symbol combination is determined. If the combination is BB combination (BB1 or BB2), the gaming state flag is set to BB gaming state, In the payout number count, the payout number of the end condition corresponding to the combination is stored. When the “contents of the combination” is an RB combination, the number of winnings and the number of games as end conditions corresponding to the combination are stored in a winning number counter and a game number counter, respectively.

Similarly, the CPU 31 determines whether or not the gaming state flag is OFF. If the gaming state flag is not OFF (specific gaming state), the CPU 31 determines whether the gaming state flag is BB gaming state or RB gaming state. When the gaming state flag is BB gaming state, it is determined whether or not the payout number counter is 0 or less. If it is 0 or less, the general gaming state (gaming state flag is OFF) is set. When the gaming state flag is in the RB gaming state, a determination is made by comparing the winning counter and the gaming counter, and if any of them is 0, the general gaming state (the gaming state flag is turned OFF) is set.
Thereafter, the CPU 31 moves the process to step S2.

  In step S 11, the CPU 31 notifies the sub control circuit 72. Specifically, the CPU 31 transmits a signal notifying the result that it has not been won to the sub-control circuit 72. As a result, the sub-control circuit 72 associates the history message of the character with the fact that it has not won. Thereafter, the CPU 31 shifts the processing to step S9.

[Flowchart of Sub Control Circuit 72]
The control operation of the sub control circuit 72 will be described with reference to the flowchart of the sub control circuit 72 shown in FIG.

  In step S901, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 determines whether or not a start operation signal has been received. When the start operation signal is received, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 shifts the processing to step S906. If the start operation signal has not been received, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 moves the process to step S902.

  In step S902, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 determines whether or not the reel 3L, 3C, 3R rotation start notification signal has been received. If the rotation start notification signal has not been received, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 moves the process to step S903. If the rotation start notification signal has been received, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 moves the process to step S907.

  In step S903, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 determines whether or not a winning notification signal is received. If the winning notification signal is received, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 moves the process to step S908. If the winning notification signal has not been received, the CPU of the sub-control circuit 72 moves the process to step S904.

  In step S904, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 determines whether or not an unfair notification signal is received. If an unfair notification signal has been received, the CPU of the sub-control circuit 72 moves the process to step S909. If an unfair notification signal has not been received, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 moves the process to step S905.

  In step S905, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 determines whether an end operation signal has been received. When the end operation signal is received, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 shifts the processing to step S910. If the end operation signal has not been received, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 shifts the processing to step S901.

  In step S906, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 displays a game start screen and prompts the player to input whether or not he is a new player. If the player is a new player, the player is prompted to select a character, and after the player has made a selection, the process proceeds to step S901. If the player is not a new player, the player is prompted to input a password, and the password input from the player is accepted. When the password is entered, the password is checked to determine whether or not the corresponding game history data exists. If there is, the corresponding game history data is set as the game history data. A part of the game history data in the game history data. If the server exists, game history data associated with the password is received from the server and used as the game history data. Thereafter, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 moves the process to step S901.

  In step S907, the CPU of the sub-control circuit 72 creates a character history message in response to the reel 3L, 3C, 3R rotation start notification and displays it together with the voice. Thereafter, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 moves the process to step S901.

  In step S908, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 updates the game history data based on the winning notification and performs a character change process. In the character change process, based on the character table, character change information corresponding to the number of game points is used as an image. Then, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 creates a history message corresponding to the character and displays it together with the character. In addition, the history message is output with a sound corresponding to the character. Thereafter, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 moves the process to step S901.

  When the process proceeds to step S909, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 updates the game history data in response to the invalidation notification. Also, a character history message is created and displayed together with the character. Then, the history message is output with voice corresponding to the character. Thereafter, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 moves the process to step S901.

  In step S910, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 displays a game end screen and issues a password to the player. Also, the QR code of the password is displayed. Thereafter, the CPU of the sub control circuit 72 moves the process to step S901.

  The game start screen will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 shows YES501 and NO502 for selecting whether or not a new player, a password input field 503 for inputting a password, an alphabet key 504 and a number key 505 are displayed in the effect display area 23 of the liquid crystal display device 131. Shows the screen.

  The game start screen is displayed at the start of the game. First, the player is prompted to input whether or not he is a new player. If the player is a new player, that is, if the player selects YES 501, the player is prompted to select a character related to the game, and then the game is started when the player selects a character. When the player is not a new player, that is, when the player selects NO502, the password input field 503 is displayed, and when the password is input, the game is started. For the operation, YES 501 or NO 502 is selected using the operation unit 17, and the alphabet key 504 or the numeric key 505 is input using the touch panel 104 configured on the screen. When the password is entered, the entered password is checked to confirm that it is a password issued by the gaming machine 1.

  If there is game history data corresponding to the input password, it is read from the auxiliary storage device 191 into the RAM of the sub-control circuit 72 and updated together with the game. If there is no game history data corresponding to the input password, game history data corresponding to the password is created from the password, stored in the RAM of the sub-control circuit 72, and updated together with the game. If the server exists, game history data is read from the server.

  Explain the password. The configuration of the password can be composed of, for example, the previous date, game results, etc. in addition to the unique code. As a result, even if it is another gaming machine 1 that is not connected to the server via the network, the previous date and the like are continued, although partially, by fetching the previous date and game results from the password. be able to. For the unique code, for example, a unique code is created from the gaming machine unique number and the game date and time. Further, when a server exists, a short password with only a unique code can be used. By reading detailed game history data associated with the password from the server, it is possible to continue the results up to the previous time. A password is issued each time the game ends, and is input by the player at the start of the game.

  The game end screen will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 shows a screen in which a password is issued and the issued password 601 and its QR code 602 are displayed in the effect display area 23 of the liquid crystal display device 131. When a part of the game history is incorporated in the password 601 configuration, the number of digits of the password 601 becomes longer. However, since the QR code 602 can be read by a mobile phone or the like, the player does not write down the memo. However, as long as it is read using a mobile phone or the like, the password input on the next game start screen can be performed relatively easily.

  With reference to FIG. 16, a description is given of the history message display screen immediately before the start of the game. FIG. 16 shows a screen that displays a past game history data display 703 and a history message display 702 together with a character display 701 associated with a password immediately before the start of the game.

  The character display 701 is based on the character associated with the input password via the game history data table and the character basic image obtained via the character data table and the number of game points obtained via the character table. It can be created based on the character change information. Therefore, the image of the character selected at the first time of the game changes according to the score of the game result. From the next time on, the changed images up to the previous time are displayed according to the entered password. The character display 701 is wearing an armor because the total number of games in the game history data display 703 exceeds 150. It is always displayed during the game and performs actions such as walking. Further, a history message display 702 is displayed, and a voice that speaks the message in a voice associated with the character is output. As a result, the player feels as if he / she has raised the character and is fond of attachment. In addition, the voice of the message is felt as if the character is speaking, and the feeling of familiarity is further increased.

  The history message display 702 further displays a message table from game history data associated with the input password via the game history data table and characters associated with the input password via the game history data table. And a basic message of the character obtained through the communication. That is, it is created based on the way of speaking unique to the character display 701 based on the message table and the game history data. For example, when the character display 701 is a warrior, at the start of the game, the game history data display 703 is combined 10 times with the xxx times of the basic message “captain that was the number of hits xxx times last time.” A history message such as “Captain who was the number of hits 10 times in the previous time.” Is displayed, and a sound that is a sound of the history message is output.

  The game history data display 703 is displayed based on the game history data associated with the input password via the game history data table, and the game date, time, game results, overall results so far, etc. Is displayed. And it is updated and displayed sequentially according to the results during the game.

  With reference to FIG. 17, the gaming state on the history message display screen will be described. FIG. 17 shows that the symbols are displayed in the symbol display areas 21L, 21C, and 21R, and that the game is being played. Similarly to FIG. 16, the game history data display 703 and the history are displayed together with the character display 701 associated with the password. A screen for displaying a message display 702 is shown. The character display 701 indicates that the game history data display 703 has a habit because the total game score exceeds 200 points.

  With reference to FIG. 18, a description will be given of the history message display screen immediately before the game ends. FIG. 18 shows a screen that displays a game history data display 703 and a history message display 702 together with a character display 701 associated with a password, as in FIG. Since the total game score of the game history data display 703 has reached 250 points, the character display 701 shows a screen immediately before the end of the game in which a shield is provided.

  According to the present embodiment, the following operations and effects are achieved.

According to the gaming machine 1 described in the present embodiment, when a player is new, the character is selected from, for example, a chick, a dog, and a warrior, and thereafter, by inputting a password, the character (for example, (Warrior) can be displayed on the game screen. The game history data is updated according to the game results, the character changes (for example, comes to have a shield), and game history data and history messages (for example, “ The commander who seems to have achieved 20 hits is displayed.
Thus, it is possible to feel the game history of the player as data (for example, the total number of hits reaches 1000). In addition, the player can feel as if the character that is feeling the attachment talks and encourages the game history, so that the character can further feel the attachment and play with new enjoyment.
Furthermore, at the end of the game, a password (for example, a QR code) is issued, and the history can be updated by inputting the password next time. Then, the updated character and the history message can be seen, and the game can be played with new enjoyment. Furthermore, when a server exists, the player can see a history message based on the previous character and detailed game history data in any gaming machine 1, and can play a game with new fun. it can.
Therefore, there is a possibility that added value can be added to the game and the game can be further enjoyed.

  In the embodiment, a notification signal indicating whether or not the game is successful is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72. In addition, information such as a bonus is transmitted as a notification signal, and a character history message is associated with a bonus or a big bonus. Can do. As a result, the player feels as if he is encouraged by the character, so that he can further feel the attachment to the character and play the game with new enjoyment.

  In the embodiment, the notification signal is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 72 when the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R start to rotate. However, the rotation is stopped by pressing the stop buttons 7L, 7C, and 7R, and after a certain time has elapsed. A stop notification signal can be transmitted, and a character history message can be associated with each of them (for example, “Good timing, Captain”). As a result, the player can have a greater sense of the history message, feel more attached to the character, and play the game with new enjoyment.

  In the embodiment, the basic message associated with the character is fixed, but in addition, the basic message can be increased or changed as the character grows (for example, “the number of hits in the last time is 10 times. "It was the captain," etc.). As a result, the player can have a greater sense of the history message, feel more attached to the character, and play the game with new enjoyment.
