<Game contents>
An outline of the game provided to the player by the game apparatus 10 will be described.
The game can be divided into a chase battle and a boss battle. In the pursuit battle, the player's own ship tracks a fleet of a plurality of small ships and boss ships that are enemy characters, and if the conditions are met, the own ship attacks the small ship. In this embodiment, the small boat is immediately destroyed and sunk if it is attacked by the own ship.
In a chase battle, if a small number of ships (for example, 40 ships) are defeated, the boss battle is entered and the ship and the boss ship are beaten.
The boss ship is associated with a parameter such as a hit point, and the own ship is also associated with a similar parameter. The parameter (value) decreases from the initial value depending on the damage received.
In a boss battle, the player wins if the boss ship parameter is zero or less before the own ship parameter, and conversely if the own ship parameter is zero or less before the boss ship parameter. The player loses.
In addition, the ship may directly attack the boss ship depending on conditions in the pursuit battle. For this reason, the player may win without shifting to the boss battle.

There are several types of boats, and different odds are associated with each type. If a predetermined reward generation condition is satisfied when a small boat is attacked in a pursuit battle, a reward based on the small boat is given to the player.
Further, when a boss ship is defeated in a pursuit battle or a boss battle, a reward of high payout is given to the player.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen Gs displayed on the touch panel display G in the pursuit battle.
As shown in this figure, in the pursuit battle, the player's own ship M20 tracks a plurality of enemy ships (an example of “display object”) from behind in the area Gs10 indicating the sea. It has become. The plurality of ships that are enemy opponents are divided into the boss ship M10 and the small ship as described above.
A parameter display area Gs14 is provided in the vicinity of the boss ship M10, and parameters associated with the boss ship M10 are displayed as a plurality of (six in the example in the figure) heart marks. Note that the number of heart marks decreases as the parameter decreases.

The area where the own ship M20 is displayed includes a symbol arrangement area Gs21 and a total reward display area Gs22.
As described above, when a reward generation condition is established by attacking a small boat in a pursuit battle, a reward based on the small boat is generated. The total reward display area Gs22 displays the value of reward given to the player for each game, and is reset when one game ends.

  In the pursuit battle, it is necessary to destroy a predetermined number of small boats, but the space of the region Gs10 is limited. For this reason, if all the predetermined number of boats are displayed from the beginning of the chase battle, the screen Gs may be difficult to see. Therefore, in the region Gs10, the small boats are displayed with a number smaller than the predetermined number, and the small boats are destroyed. A new small boat may be appropriately supplemented and displayed.

  The symbol arrangement area Gs21 includes three reels. A guidance display area Gs23 is included in the vicinity of the own ship M20. In the guidance display area Gs23, the number of boats to be destroyed before shifting to the boss battle is displayed.

Now, the three reels in the symbol arrangement area Gs21 are arranged on the upper deck of the own ship M20 along the direction from the bow to the stern. The rotation axes of the three reels are aligned in a direction from the bow side on the back side of the drawing to the stern side on the near side in the screen Gs.
Here, in order to distinguish the three reels for the sake of convenience, they will be referred to as a first reel, a second reel, and a third reel in order from the bow side of the own ship M20. The first reel, the third reel, and the second reel rotate in opposite directions. Specifically, in this example, as indicated by arrows in the drawing, the first reel and the third reel rotate clockwise, and the second reel rotates counterclockwise.

  In this embodiment, in order to shorten the time, the three reels are configured to start and stop rotation at approximately the same timing. In such a configuration, if all the reels are rotated and stopped in the same direction, an illusion may be given to the player as if all the reels are rotated and stopped with the symbol arrangement fixed. Therefore, in this embodiment, it is not necessary to give the player the illusion as described above by rotating adjacent reels in opposite directions.

  Each reel is divided into a plurality of blocks (cells), and a maximum of one symbol is displayed in one block in one reel. Note that the display of a symbol on a reel block includes a case where the symbol is displayed as if it is placed on the block.

  Of the symbol arrangement area Gs21, an area indicated by reference sign Gs211 is a determination area for determining whether or not an attack condition is satisfied. In this description, when the reel rotation direction is “row” and the reel rotation axis direction is “column” for the sake of convenience, when the rotation of the three reels stops, the determination area Gs211 has symbols in three rows and three columns. Will be arranged. A range (shaded portion) other than the determination region Gs211 in the symbol arrangement region Gs21 is a non-determination region Gs212 that is not involved in the establishment of the attack condition. FIG. 3 shows an example in which the determination area Gs211 has 3 rows and 3 columns, but the determination area Gs211 may be expanded to 3 rows and 5 columns as described later.

In each reel, symbols displayed in one block include a basic symbol and a special symbol.
4 to 6 are diagrams illustrating examples of basic symbols unique to reels. The basic symbol shown in FIG. 4 is a muzzle portion of a part constituting a cannon, and the basic symbol includes a normal muzzle portion made of iron and a gold muzzle portion made of gold. It is.
The basic symbol shown in FIG. 5 is a barrel part of a part constituting the cannon, and the basic symbol includes a normal barrel part made of iron and a gold barrel part made of gold.
The basic symbol shown in FIG. 6 is a breech part of a part constituting a cannon, and the basic symbol includes a normal breech part made of iron and a gold breech part made of gold.
The basic symbols shown in FIG. 4 appear on the first reel or the second reel, and the basic symbols shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 appear on the second reel or the third reel.
In addition, when not distinguishing a gold muzzle part, a gold barrel part, and a gold breech part, it may only call a gold part.

  The symbols displayed in the determination area Gs211 are updated by stopping after the three reels rotate in a predetermined direction. When the symbol is updated, it is determined whether or not the attack condition is satisfied by the arrangement of the symbol in the determination region Gs211. Specifically, it is determined whether or not a predetermined combination is established in the symbols arranged in the determination area Gs211. If it is satisfied, it is determined that the attack condition is established.

Here, the attack condition is a condition based on the arrangement of basic symbols in the determination region Gs211. The establishment of the attack condition means that, for example, parts necessary for the cannon are aligned in the column direction.
In the present embodiment, when the attack condition is satisfied, there are the following three cases. That is, according to the first case where a cannon is formed by parts consisting of three basic symbols on the first reel, the second reel and the third reel, and by parts consisting of two basic symbols on the first reel and the second reel. There are a second case in which a cannon is formed and a third case in which a cannon is formed by parts consisting of two basic symbols on the second reel and the third reel.

Specifically, in the first case, the normal muzzle or gold muzzle of the first reel, the normal or gold muffler of the second reel, and the normal or gold turret of the third reel In the second case, the normal muzzle portion or gold muzzle portion of the first reel, the normal gun barrel portion of the second reel, gold This is a case where a cannon (medium) is established by any of the barrel part, normal breech part, or gold breech part (see, for example, FIG. 8). In the third case, the normal muzzle part or gold muzzle of the second reel This is a case where a cannon (medium) is formed (not shown) by the normal barrel portion, the gold barrel portion, the normal breech portion, or the gold breech portion of the third reel.
That is, the normal muzzle portion and the gold muzzle portion can be combined with any one of the normal gun barrel portion, the gold gun barrel portion, the normal gun tail portion, or the gold gun tail portion to form a cannon (medium), and the second reel The normal and gold barrels of the can be combined with the normal or gold barrel of the first reel, and combined with the normal or gold turret of the third reel to form a large cannon Is possible.

  In addition, when the parts necessary for the cannon are prepared, an effect of combining the disjointed parts is made. For example, when three reels are stopped in the state shown in FIG. 3, symbols on different reels are displayed with an interval between them. However, if the above combination of symbols is established, the symbols are combined. An effect is shown showing how the cannon is constructed.

  Note that the predetermined combination of symbols is not limited to the above example. For example, combining the normal muzzle part or gold muzzle part of the first reel with any of the normal barrel part, gold gun barrel part, normal stern part or gold stern part of the third reel to form a cannon (medium) It may be possible. In this case, when three reels are stopped in the state of FIG. 3, a cannon is formed when the normal barrel portion of the first reel and the gold breech portion of the second reel are aligned in the center row of the determination region Gs211. However, since the second reel is a NULL symbol, it is possible to more clearly indicate that a predetermined combination of symbols has been established by performing an effect of combining them as shown in FIG.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of the special symbol.
The special symbol includes, for example, a free symbol and a NULL symbol.
If a free symbol appears in the determination area Gs211 when the symbol is updated, a free wide game that does not assume credit consumption is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, three times). Specifically, in the free wide game, the game is repeated a predetermined number of times with the range of the determination area Gs211 expanded from 3 rows 3 columns to 3 rows 5 columns (see FIG. 12). When the determination area Gs211 is enlarged in the free wide game, the attack condition is easily established.

  In the free wide game, the game is executed as many times as the number of free symbols that appear in the determination area Gs211. For example, when the number of free wide games is 3 per free symbol, if 2 free symbols appear in the determination area Gs211, the number of free wide games is 6. If a free symbol appears again in the determination area Gs211 during execution of the free wide game, the free wide game is extended by the number corresponding to the number of appearances.

  A NULL symbol is a symbol indicating an empty state in which neither a basic symbol nor a free symbol is assigned to a block. For this reason, the NULL symbol has a role of reducing the possibility that the attack condition is satisfied in the determination region Gs211.

Each basic symbol has a predetermined appearance probability, and a basic symbol unique to the reel is arranged with a probability corresponding to the basic symbol in one block of one reel. Note that basic symbols are not necessarily arranged in one block.
Further, the appearance probability and image data of basic symbols and special symbols are stored in a symbol data storage unit to be described later.

In the block in which the basic symbol is not arranged, either a special symbol NULL symbol or a free symbol is arranged.
Special symbols (free symbols) other than NULL symbols may be arranged in one block with a predetermined appearance probability, and the basic symbols displayed after the reel rotation stops and before the attack condition is determined. You may make it arrange | position by replacing a symbol or a NULL symbol with the said appearance probability.

In this description, there are two basic symbols: a part made of iron and a part made of normal and gold. However, for example, a part made of silver may be added to add three parts. It is possible to add four or more materials.
The free symbols may be divided into a special symbol that enlarges the determination area Gs211 and another special symbol that allows a predetermined number of games without assuming credit consumption. Further, another special symbol that imparts various game characteristics, for example, a special symbol that doubles the attack power (destructive power) of the established cannon may appear.

On the other hand, the plurality of enemy ships displayed in the region Gs10 are roughly divided into small ships and boss ships M10 as described above.
In the present embodiment, the small boat is located between the boss ship M10 and the own ship M20. Specifically, if the determination area Gs211 has 3 rows and 3 columns, the small boats are arranged in 3 columns corresponding to the 3 columns. The boss ship M10 is located on the back side as viewed from the own ship M20 so as to be protected by the small ships arranged in three rows.

FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a small ship and a boss ship that are enemy characters.
In the present embodiment, small boats A, B, C, and D exist as small boats.
The small boat A is a sailing boat with the smallest number of sails and the lowest mast height among the small boats, and is associated with “× 0” that is 0 times as odds (synonymous with no odds associated). is there). The small ship B is a relatively small sailing ship among the small ships, and is associated with “× 1” which is 1 time as odds. The small boat C is a relatively medium-sized sailing boat, and is associated with “× 2” which is twice as odds. The small boat D is a relatively large sailing boat, and is associated with “× 4” which is four times as odds. Each of the small boats A, B, C, and D has a probability of appearing in the region Gs10, and the probability tends to decrease as the odds increase.
The small boats A, B, C and D can be distinguished by the number of sails or the height of the mast as shown in FIG. 10, but may be distinguished by the color of the sails.

On the other hand, the boss ship is a sail ship whose hull is larger than the small ship D, and a mark indicating that it is a boss is attached to the sail. The boss ship is associated with a fixed reward to be given to the player when defeated.
Of the enemy characters, each appearance probability, odds and image data for a small boat, fixed reward and image data for a boss boat, and the like are stored in an object data storage unit to be described later.

<Specific example of pursuit battle>
In the pursuit battle, when the attack condition is established for the symbol updated in the determination area Gs211, that is, when the parts constituting the cannon are arranged in the row direction, the attack target is determined from the enemy characters as follows. Is done. Here, in the present embodiment, the attack target is different depending on whether the number of symbols constituting the established cannon is “2” or “3”.

First, when the number of symbols constituting the cannon is “2”, first, a row of boats corresponding to the row in which the cannon is established is selected as a candidate for an attack target. For example, if a cannon with the number of symbols “2” is established in the left column of the three columns in the determination region Gs211, the small boat in the left column of the three columns in the region Gs10 is selected as a candidate for attack, and is established in the center column In this case, the small row in the center row is selected as a candidate for the attack target, and if the right row is established, the small boat in the right row is selected as a candidate for the attack target.
That is, a candidate for an attack target is selected in a row in which cannons are established.
If cannons are established in a plurality of rows in the determination area Gs211, rows of boats corresponding to the established rows are selected as attack target candidates.

Second, among the small boats selected as candidates, the small boat to be attacked is determined by the number of gold parts constituting the cannon established as a combination.
For example, if the number of gold parts constituting the established cannon is “0”, one of the selected candidates is determined to be one of the boats located closest to the ship M20, and the gold parts are selected. If it is “1”, of the selected row candidates, two boats located in front of the own ship M20 are determined as attack targets. If the gold part is “2”, the selected row candidates are selected. Of these, three small boats positioned in front of the own ship M20 are determined as attack targets.

  Further, the magnitude of the destructive power of the cannon may be drawn with different drawing probabilities depending on the number of gold parts constituting the established cannon. For example, the lottery probability is set such that the greater the number of gold parts composing the established cannon, the higher the probability that a cannon with strong destructive power will be drawn. Specifically, if the gold part is “3”, a cannon having a high level of destructive power is drawn with a probability of 100%. If the gold part is “2”, a cannon with a high level of destructive power will be drawn with a 50% probability, a cannon with a medium level of destructive power will be drawn with a 25% probability, and a small level of destruction will be drawn. Draw a powerful cannon with a 25% chance. If the gold part is “1”, a cannon with a high level of destructive power is drawn with a probability of 25%, a cannon with a medium level of destructive power is drawn with a probability of 50%, Draw a powerful cannon with a 25% chance. If the gold part is “0”, a cannon having a low level of destructive power is drawn with a probability of 100%. Here, a cannon having a high level of destructive power has the ability to destroy 3 ships if a small ship, and a cannon having a medium level destructive power has the ability to destroy 2 ships if a small ship, A cannon that has destructive power is capable of destroying one small ship. If a cannon with a high level of destructive power is drawn, the established cannon is expressed in gold. If a cannon with a medium level of destructive power is selected, the established cannon is silver. You can also create a presentation.

Even if a cannon is established, if there is no small boat in the established row, the attack target is not determined. In other words, since there is no small boat to be attacked, the establishment of a cannon is meaningless.
Also, if the destructive power of the established cannon is greater than the attack target candidate, the excessive destructive power is ignored. For example, when there are only two small boats in the selected row and a cannon having the ability to destroy three small boats is established, only two boats in the selected row are determined as attack targets.

  The small boat determined as the attack target in the pursuit battle is fired from the established cannon, and is subjected to the effects of being shot (or expelled), destroyed, and sunk (erased from the screen Gs).

FIG. 11 shows an example of the effect. FIG. 11 shows an example of a case where a cannon having the ability to destroy two small boats is established in the middle column of the three columns in the determination region Gs211 with the number of symbols being “2”.
Since the artillery is established with the number of symbols “2” in the center row, the small boat in the center row is selected as a candidate for attack. In this example, since it is a cannon having the destructive power of two small boats, among the candidates, two vessels on the near side as viewed from the own ship M20 are determined as attack targets. FIG. 11 shows a screen in a state where a small ship determined as an attack target is hit or expelled by a cannonball fired from a combined cannon.

By the way, in the chase battle, when the number of symbols constituting the cannon is “3”, first, the attack target is determined to be the boss ship M10 instead of the small ship. Secondly, a reduction amount of a parameter associated with the boss ship M10 is determined according to the destructive power of the established cannon.
For example, a cannon with a small level of destructive power will be reduced by half of the heart mark, and a cannon with a medium level of destructive power will be reduced by one heart mark, resulting in a high level of destructive power. If you have a cannon, it will decrease by two heart marks. Therefore, if the number of symbols in the chase battle is “3” and a cannon having a high level of destructive power is established three times, the parameter of the boss ship M10 becomes zero, so that the boss battle is not entered. The player may win.

  In the pursuit battle, if you defeat a predetermined number of boats, you will move to the boss battle.

<Specific examples of boss battles>
FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of the screen Gs in the boss battle.
As shown in this figure, in the boss battle, in the area Gs10, the player's own ship M20 turns into the port of the boss ship M10, for example, and faces the boss ship M10.
In the boss battle, the boss ship M10 may attack the own ship M20 to reduce the parameters of the own ship M20. For this reason, in order to inform the player of how much the own ship's parameters are, in the boss battle, a parameter display area Gs24 is provided and a plurality of parameters (4 in the example shown in the figure) are associated with the own ship M20. ) Heart symbol.
The boss ship M10 attacks the ship M20 by, for example, launching a shell from the three gates provided in the region Gs15 or throwing a bomb.

In the boss battle, when the attack condition is established in the updated symbol, the attack target is necessarily only the boss ship M10.
When the symbol is updated in the boss battle, the boss ship M10 may attack the own ship M20 in accordance with the update timing. The attack power of the boss ship M10 against the ship M20 is determined at random, for example.

On the other hand, when the attack condition is satisfied when the symbol is updated in the boss battle, the attack power against the boss ship M10 is determined by the destructive power of the cannon.
When the symbol is updated, for example, when the attack condition is satisfied, the boss ship M10 is not attacked and the boss ship M10 is attacked. On the other hand, if the attack condition is not satisfied, the boss ship M10 attacks the ship M20 with a randomly determined attack power.

As another example, when the symbol is updated, for example, the attack power of the boss ship M10 against the own ship M20 and the attack power of the own ship M20 against the boss ship M10 are compared. The ship's parameters may be reduced by the difference in attack power. That is, when attacks occur at the same time, both attack powers may be offset so that only the smaller attack power may be damaged.
Further, the attack on the own ship M20 by the boss ship M10 may be reflected in the parameters of the own ship M20 without offsetting, and the attack on the boss ship M10 by the own ship M20 may be reflected in the parameters of the boss ship M10. .
In addition, when the update of the symbol is repeated in the boss battle, when the parameter of the boss ship M10 becomes zero or less before the parameter of the own ship, the player wins. As described above, the player loses when the parameter of the ship becomes zero or less before the parameter.

<Functional configuration by processor>
Next, a functional configuration of the game control unit 120 realized by the processor 12 executing the game process based on the program will be described.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a functional configuration of the game control unit 120. As shown in this figure, the game control unit 120 includes an input unit 121, a storage unit 122, a display control unit 123, a combination determination unit 124, an attack target determination unit 125, a reward determination unit 126, and a reward grant unit 127.

The input unit 121 receives information corresponding to an input operation by the player output from the input device 13 (see FIG. 2).
The storage unit 122 stores symbol information and enemy character information using, for example, a recording area of the storage device 14, and includes a symbol data storage unit 1221 and an enemy character data storage unit 1222. For the storage unit 122, for example, an internal cache by the CPU 12 may be used instead of the storage area of the storage device 14.
The symbol data storage unit 1221 stores the appearance probability and image data of basic symbols and special symbols. The enemy character data storage unit 1222 stores data on the enemy character (FIG. 10). Specifically, the enemy character data storage unit 1222 stores the appearance probability, odds, and image data for each of the small ships, and stores the image data for the boss ship M10.

  The display control unit 123 controls the display content of the screen Gs, and includes a symbol arrangement unit 1231, a symbol update unit 1232, and an enemy character display unit 1233. Among these, the symbol arrangement unit 1231 arranges the basic symbols or special symbols corresponding to the reels in the blocks of the three reels in the symbol arrangement region Gs21 with the probability stored in the symbol data storage unit 1221.

  The symbol update unit 1232 updates the symbols displayed by the symbol arrangement unit 1231. More specifically, the symbol updating unit 1232 updates the displayed symbol by rotating the first reel and the third reel in the clockwise direction and rotating the second reel in the counterclockwise direction, and then stopping the rotation.

If the enemy character display unit 1233 (an example of the “object display unit”) is a pursuit battle, one or more small boats that are enemy characters in the region Gs10 in the region Gs10 are located on the near side of the screen Gs. The boss ship M10 is displayed corresponding to the row and displayed on the back side (see, for example, FIG. 3).
Moreover, if it is a boss battle, the enemy character display part 1233 will display the boss ship M10 in front of the player's ship M20 and the closest position on the screen Gs (for example, refer FIG. 12).

  The combination determination unit 124 determines whether or not a predetermined combination (attack condition) is established in the determination region Gs211 as described above when the symbol is updated by the symbol update unit 1232, that is, in the column direction. It is determined whether or not the parts necessary for the configuration have been prepared. The combination determination unit 124 outputs information indicating the determination result, and determines that the parts necessary for the configuration of the cannon have been prepared, the number of symbols constituting the cannon (“2” or “3”). ), Information on the position of the row in which the symbols are arranged and the number of gold parts included in the symbols constituting the cannon are also output.

  The attack target determination unit 125 (an example of an “object selection unit”) determines an attack target from the enemy characters displayed in the region Gs10 when the combination determination unit 124 determines that the attack condition is satisfied. .

Specifically, in the case of a pursuit battle, if the number of symbols constituting the cannon in the determination area Gs211 is “2”, the attack target determination unit 125 first places the symbol in the row where the symbols are aligned. Accordingly, a candidate for a small boat to be attacked is selected, and secondly, a small boat to be attacked is determined from the selected candidates according to the number of gold parts included in the symbol constituting the cannon. .
In addition, how to determine the small ship to be attacked, and the small ship that was determined to be the target of the attack, bombarded, sunk, and erased by a cannonball that was fired from a cannon composed of parts of the established combination As described above, the point that the production is performed is as described above.

On the other hand, if the number of symbols constituting the cannon in the determination area Gs211 is “3” in the case of a pursuit battle, the attack target determination unit 125 determines the boss ship M10 as an attack target, and secondly, In accordance with the number of gold parts included in the combination, the attack power, that is, the amount of reduction of the parameter associated with the boss ship M10 is determined. Specifically, in the case of a pursuit battle, the attack target determination unit 125 increases the amount of decrease in the parameter associated with the boss ship M10 as the number of gold parts increases.
In the case of a boss battle, the attack target determination unit 125 determines the attack target as the boss ship M10, and the more symbols that constitute the cannon, the more gold parts included in the symbols that constitute the cannon. As the number increases, the reduction amount of the parameter associated with the boss ship M10 is increased.

The reward determining unit 126 determines that the reward generation condition has occurred if odds other than 0 times are associated with the small boat determined as the attack target in the case of a pursuit battle, and the odds of 0 times are displayed on the small boat. If it is associated (or if the odds are not associated), it is determined that the reward generation condition has not occurred.
On the other hand, the reward determination unit 126 determines that a condition for generating a reward has occurred when a parameter associated with the boss ship M10 is equal to or less than zero in the pursuit battle or the boss battle.

When it is determined that a reward generation condition has occurred for a small boat in the follow-up battle, the reward granting unit 127 gives the player a product obtained by multiplying the odds associated with the small boat by the number of bets.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the reward generation condition has occurred for the boss ship M10 in the pursuit battle or the boss battle, the reward granting unit 127 grants a fixed reward to the player, for example. Note that the reward granting unit 127 may grant a progressive reward (so-called progressive reward) accumulated by betting to the player when it is determined that a condition for generating a reward has occurred for the boss ship M10.

<Game processing operations>
Next, the operation of the game process executed by the game apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment will be described.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the game process. First, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the mode has been set or changed in the immediately preceding step (step Sa101).
The step immediately before step Sa101 is step Sa2009, Sa2110 or Sa2112 as will be described later. Among these, the mode is changed in step Sa2110, and the mode is set in step Sa2112. Specifically, step Sa2110 is executed when the boss ship M10 is destroyed, and step Sa2112 is executed when the boss ship M10 cannot be destroyed. For this reason, it may be considered that the case where the determination result of step Sa101 is “No” is either when the boss ship M10 is defeated or when the boss ship M10 cannot be defeated.

If the determination result in step Sa101 is “No”, that is, if the boss ship M10 is destroyed or if the boss ship M10 cannot be destroyed, the game control unit 120 performs the initial setting process. Execute (Step Sa102). As the initialization process, for example, a game is set as a pursuit battle, a plurality of small boats are displayed in the region Gs10, and a boss ship M10 is displayed on the back side of the array. For example, a symbol indicating a cannon part is displayed on each block of the reel with a predetermined appearance probability.
If the determination result in step Sa101 is “Yes”, or after the initial setting process in step Sa102, the game control unit 120 executes the game process once (step Sa200).
After executing the game process once, the game control unit 120 returns the procedure to step Sa101. Therefore, in the game process, if the boss ship M10 is defeated or if the boss ship M10 cannot be defeated, the game process is not performed in any case after the initial setting process. The game process is repeatedly executed once without executing the initial setting process.

16 and 17 are flowcharts showing the one-time game process in detail.
This one-time game process is executed on the condition that, for example, the number of bets is specified by the consumption of credits, and the start of the game is instructed (or the auto play is instructed).
First, in the one-time game process, the game control unit 120 rotates and stops each reel (step Sa2001) to update the symbol.

  Next, after the symbols are updated, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not one or more free symbols appear in the determination region Gs211 (step Sa2002). If a free symbol appears (if the determination result in step Sa2002 is “No”), the game control unit 120 expands the determination region Gs211 from 3 rows and 3 columns (see FIG. 3) to 3 rows and 5 columns. (See FIG. 12).

  Although not shown in the flowchart, the game control unit 120 executes the free wide game as many times as the number of free symbols existing in the determination area Gs211. For example, if the number of free wide games is 3 per free symbol, and 2 free symbols appear in the determination area Gs211, the game control unit 120 executes the number of free wide games 6 times. To do. If a free symbol appears in the determination area Gs211 during execution of the free wide game, the game control unit 120 extends the free wide game by the number of times corresponding to the number of appearances.

  After the symbol update, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the attack condition is satisfied in the determination region Gs211, that is, whether or not the parts necessary for the configuration of the cannon are aligned in the row direction (step Sa2004). . If the attack condition is not satisfied (if the determination result in step Sa2004 is “No”), the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the free wide game is continuing (step Sa2008).

If the free wide game is ongoing (if the determination result in step Sa2008 is “Yes”), the game control unit 120 returns the procedure to step Sa2001. Thus, if the free wide game is continued, the symbols are updated by rotating and stopping the reels even if credits are not consumed. On the other hand, if the free wide game is not continuing (if the determination result in step Sa2008 is “No”), the game control unit 120 executes a predetermined end process (step Sa2009).
This termination process is executed when the attack condition is not satisfied in the pursuit battle. For this reason, examples of the termination process include a process of displaying on the screen Gs that the attack condition has not been established.
After executing the end process, the game control unit 120 returns the procedure to step Sa101. Note that when the procedure is returned to step Sa101, the determination result of step Sa101 is “Yes”, so that it is necessary to consume credits in order to continue the game process once.

On the other hand, if the attack condition is satisfied (if the determination result in step Sa2004 is “Yes”), the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the number of symbols constituting the cannon is “3”, that is, It is determined whether or not a cannon (large) has been established (step Sa2005).
If the cannon (large) is not established (if the determination result in step Sa2005 is “No”), the game control unit 120 means that the cannon (medium) is established, and the procedure goes to step Sa2103 described later. Transition.

If the cannon (large) is established (if the determination result in step Sa2005 is “Yes”), the game control unit 120 determines the boss ship M10 as an attack target and applies the cannon (large) to the boss ship M10. Is given an attack (step Sa2006). In other words, the game control unit 120 reduces the parameter associated with the boss ship M10 by an amount corresponding to the destructive power of the cannon (large). In terms of the screen Gs, the number of heart marks in the parameter display area Gs14 is decreased by an amount corresponding to the destructive force.
The destructive power of the established cannon (large) is determined based on the number of gold parts included in the combination.

Next, when the parameter associated with the boss ship M10 is decreased, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the parameter has become zero or less (whether or not all the heart marks have disappeared) (step Sa2007). ).
If the parameter is not less than or equal to zero (if the determination result in step Sa2007 is “No”), the game control unit 120 returns the procedure to step Sa2001 to update the symbol.

On the other hand, if the parameter associated with the boss ship M10 is equal to or less than zero (if the determination result in step Sa2007 is “Yes”), the game control unit 120 produces an effect (the boss ship M10 is destroyed by the attack) ( (Explosion and sinking), and the small boat is destroyed by the explosion (step Sa2101).
Here, when the determination result in step Sa2007 is “Yes”, the parameter associated with the boss ship M10 is less than or equal to zero as a result of the direct attack on the boss ship M10 in the follow-up battle without passing through the boss battle. This is the case. Defeating the boss ship M10 is also a break in the game. In this embodiment, the small ship is wiped out together with the boss ship M10.

Next, the game control unit 120 grants a reward for the cleared boat (step Sa2102). Specifically, the product obtained by multiplying the odds associated with the small boat by the number of bets is accumulated and given by the amount of the small boat cleared.
This reward is added to the cumulative value per game in the total reward display area Gs22. Thereby, the cumulative value is updated. A reward for defeating the boss ship M10 will be described later.

On the other hand, although the cannon is established by the symbol update (the determination result of step Sa2004 is “Yes”), the number of symbols constituting the cannon is not “3” (the determination result of step Sa2005 is “No”). ")" Means that a cannon (medium) with the symbol number "2" has been established.
For this reason, if the determination result of step Sa2005 is “No”, the attack target is selected from the small boats displayed in the area Gs10, the position of the row where the cannon is established in the determination area Gs211, and the gold parts included in the cannon The number is determined according to the number (step Sa2103). Then, the game control unit 120 produces an effect in which the small boat determined as the attack target is destroyed by the cannon (medium), specifically, the firing of the cannonball by the cannon (medium), the landing on the small boat determined as the attack target, An explosion and sinking (erasing from the screen Gs) is produced.

  After the performance, the game control unit 120 grants a reward for the small boat erased by the attack (step Sa2104). Specifically, the product obtained by multiplying the odds associated with the small boat by the number of bets is given to the player as a reward. This reward is added to the accumulated value in the total reward display area Gs22. Thereby, the cumulative value is updated. In addition, the game control unit 120 reduces the number of boats displayed in the guidance display area Gs23 by the amount of the deleted boat.

The game control unit 120 determines whether or not a predetermined number of small boats have been destroyed in the region Gs10 (step Sa2105).
If the predetermined number of small boats have not been defeated in the area Gs10 (if the determination result in step Sa2105 is “No”), the game control unit 120 returns the procedure to step Sa2001. As a result, the reel rotates and stops, and the symbol is updated.

If a predetermined number of small boats are defeated in the region Gs10 (if the determination result in step Sa2105 is “Yes”), the game control unit 120 shifts the pursuit battle to the boss battle (step Sa2106).
The content of the boss battle is as described above, and the symbol update is repeated until either the parameter associated with the own ship M20 or the parameter associated with the boss ship M10 becomes zero or less.

  When any of the parameters becomes zero or less, the game control unit 120 determines whether or not the player wins, that is, the parameter associated with the boss ship M10 is greater than the parameter associated with the own ship M20. First, it is determined whether or not it has become zero or less (step Sa2107).

If the player wins (if the determination result in step Sa2107 is “Yes”, or after the processing in step Sa2102), the game control unit 120 displays a display celebrating the player's victory on the screen Gs, although not particularly shown. (Step Sa2108).
The game control unit 120 gives a fixed (special) reward to the player by destroying the boss ship M10 (step Sa2109). Note that, for example, the player may win during the free wide game. In this case, if the number of free wide games remains, a reward corresponding to the remaining number of times is given to the player as an additional reward.
The fixed reward and the additional reward are added to the cumulative value per game in the total reward display area Gs22. Thereby, the cumulative value is updated.
Thereafter, the game control unit 120 draws the game mode in one of the high-priced mode, the latent mode, or the continuation mode (step Sa2110), and returns the procedure to step Sa101 (see FIG. 15).

On the other hand, if the player loses (if the determination result in step Sa2107 is “No”), the game control unit 120 produces an effect such that the boss ship M10 escapes from the facing state of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the tracking state is changed (step Sa2111).
Thereafter, the game control unit 120 sets the game mode to the normal mode (step Sa2112), and returns the procedure to step Sa101.

  The normal mode in the game mode is a mode in which the fixed reward is given to the player when the boss ship M10 is destroyed. The high-priced mode is a mode in which the fixed reward given when the boss ship M10 is destroyed is raised to a higher payout. The continuation mode is one of two modes when the game mode is drawn out of the high-priced mode, and a higher remuneration than the fixed remuneration in the normal mode (however, the boss battle that appears in the high-priced mode) This is a mode in which a boss appears with a reward lower than the reward when defeated. The latent mode is the other mode of the two modes when the game mode is drawn out of the high-priced mode, and it is guaranteed to shift to the high-priced mode by playing the specified number of normal modes. Mode.

In the game provided by the game apparatus 10 according to the present embodiment, even when a predetermined combination is established when the symbols in the determination area Gs211 are updated by the rotation and stop of the reels, that is, in the row direction, Even if parts necessary for the configuration are prepared, the reward is not given to the player by itself. In other words, in the game provided by the game device 10, when an enemy character to be attacked is determined according to the state when the cannons are aligned, and the enemy character satisfies the reward generation condition, the reward is It is given to the player. Also, in this game, even if the parts necessary for the construction of the cannon are prepared, if there is no small boat at the position corresponding to the aligned rows, the attack target is not determined, and even if the attack target is determined, Has odds of zero times. For this reason, in this game, even if a predetermined combination is established when the symbol is updated, a reward may not be given.
In this way, according to the present game, the player is given an opportunity to receive a reward different from the combination of symbols, so that it is possible to give the player a new preference.

<Modification>
The embodiment described above can be variously modified as described below, for example. In addition, each aspect of the modification described below can be appropriately combined with one or a plurality arbitrarily selected within a range not contradicting each other.

<Variation 1: Points associated with a boat>
In the embodiment described above, odds are associated with each type of small boat, and if a predetermined reward generation condition is satisfied when the small boat is attacked, a reward based on the odds and the number of bets associated with the small boat is satisfied. Was given to the player. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a configuration in which different points are associated with each small boat depending on the type of small boat may be used.

FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen Gs displayed on the touch panel display G in a modified example in which different points are associated with each small boat depending on the type of the small boat.
In this modification, when a small boat associated with a point becomes an attack target, the points associated with the small boat are incremented from zero. When the points added in one game reach a predetermined value by attacking one or more small boats, a reward based on the odds corresponding to the value and the number of bets of the player is given to the player. For example, when up to 3 points are added, a reward of a value obtained by multiplying the odds “× 1” associated with the point by the number of bets of the player is given to the player. Further, when 7 points are added, a reward of a value obtained by multiplying the odds “× 2” associated with the point by the number of bets of the player is given to the player. As 13 points, 25 points, 40 points, and 60 points are added, the odds become higher, and a reward based on each odds and the number of bets of the player is awarded.
In FIG. 18, a scale indicating the odds associated with the added value of the points is displayed in the region Gs25, and the points added by attacking one or more small boats are indicated by arrows Gs251 on the scale. It is.
When one game is over, the added point is reset to 0 (the arrow Gs251 is returned to the origin position in FIG. 18).

<Modification 2: Number of remaining games>
Further, in the above embodiment, when a predetermined number (for example, 40) of small ships are defeated in the pursuit battle, the boss battle is started and the battle between the own ship M20 and the boss ship M10 is started. It may be added on condition that the small ship is destroyed within a predetermined number of games (for example, within 20 games). For the convenience of the player, for example, in the area Gs26 of FIG. 18, the remaining number of games may be displayed when it is a condition that the destruction of a predetermined number of small ships is achieved within a predetermined number of games.
If a predetermined number of small ships cannot be attacked within a predetermined number of games, the number of small ships that need to be attacked before the boss battle and the remaining number of games may be reset.

<Modification 3: Fine rotation of reel after combination is established>
In the embodiment, the symbols are updated by rotating and stopping the reels, and when a predetermined combination is established in the determination region Gs211, an attack target is determined according to the combination, and then the reels are rotated again. It was. However, the present invention is not limited to this. When a predetermined combination is established in the determination area Gs211 by updating the symbols, after the attack target is determined according to the combination, only the reels that display the symbols constituting the combination are subdivided by several blocks. It may be rotated, and after the fine rotation, it may be determined whether or not a predetermined combination is established in the determination region Gs211.
For example, if the combination of the first reel and the second reel is established in the determination area Gs211 by updating the symbol, the attack target is determined according to the combination, and then only the first reel and the second reel are slightly rotated. (The third reel that does not constitute a combination is stopped), and after the fine rotation, it may be determined again whether a predetermined combination is established in the determination region Gs211.
Also, for example, if a combination of the first reel, the second reel, and the third reel is established in the determination area Gs211 by updating the symbol, the attack target is determined according to the combination, and then the first reel, the second reel, The third reel may be slightly rotated, and after the slight rotation, it may be determined again whether or not a predetermined combination is established in the determination region Gs211.
The fine rotation is premised on the establishment of a combination. For this reason, because of the nature of the combination, it is preferable that the fine rotation be executed without consuming credits. Further, the fine rotation may be repeatedly executed until the combination is not established.
In this way, the fine rotation of the reel requires only a few blocks, so that the time can be shortened and the game can be progressed speedily compared with the case where the entire reel is rotated several times.

<Modification 4: Update of symbol>
In the embodiment, the symbols displayed in the symbol arrangement area Gs21 are updated by rotating and stopping the reels. However, the symbols may be updated by rotating each block in the symbol arrangement area Gs21 independently.

<Modification 5: Change of enemy character in response to attack>
In the embodiment, the small boat is defeated and erased when it is selected once as an attack target, but the screen may be erased only when it is selected a preset number of times. In this configuration, the destruction progresses every time the number of times of selection increases, so the display mode of the boat may be changed according to the number of times of selection.
The boss ship M10 may also have a display mode in which destruction proceeds according to a decrease in parameters associated with the boss ship M10.

<Modification 6: Basic symbol>
In the embodiment, the basic symbol is a part constituting the cannon, but a weapon other than the cannon may be used. For example, it may be a part constituting a missile. When the parts constituting the missile are used, for example, when the parts constituting the missile are arranged in the row direction, the enemy character to be attacked may be determined according to the number of parts and the material when the parts are arranged.

<Modification 7: Grant of reward>
The symbols may be updated by rotating and stopping the reels, and when a predetermined combination is established in the determination area Gs211, it may be determined that a winning combination has been awarded, and a reward may be given to the player according to the combination.

<Modification 8: Program>
In the game apparatus 10, it is preferable that the program for executing the game is recorded on a recording medium and provided. The recording medium is non-transitory, for example, and may include any known recording medium such as a semiconductor recording medium and a magnetic recording medium in addition to an optical recording medium such as an optical disk.
In the first place, the program is sufficient if it allows the computer including the processor 12 to function as each unit of the game apparatus 10.
A program that causes a computer including the processor 12 to function as the game apparatus 10 may be stored in an internal or external recording medium that is accessible from the distribution server in order to distribute the program. The code of the program stored in the recording medium accessible from the distribution server may be different from the code of the program that can be executed by the game device. That is, the format stored in the recording medium accessible from the distribution server is not limited as long as it can be downloaded from the distribution server and installed in a form that can be executed by the game apparatus 10. It should be noted that the program may be divided into a plurality of parts and downloaded at different timings, and the game apparatus 10 may be combined, or the distribution server that distributes each of the divided programs may be different.

<Appendix>
From the above description, the following inventions can be grasped. In order to facilitate understanding of each aspect, reference numerals in the drawings are appended in parentheses for convenience in the following, but the invention is not intended to be limited to the illustrated aspects.

<Appendix 1>
First, a symbol update unit (1232) that updates at least a part of a plurality of symbols displayed in a predetermined area (symbol arrangement area Gs21), and an object that displays a plurality of display objects (enemy characters) on the screen (Gs). A plurality of display objects (enemy characters) displayed by the display unit (1233) and the object display unit (1233) are updated by the symbol update unit (1232). The reward generation condition is satisfied for the object selection unit (attack target determination unit 125) to be selected based on at least a part of the symbol of the symbol and the display object (enemy character) selected by the object selection unit (attack target determination unit 125). A reward determination unit (126) for determining whether or not, and a reward A game device comprising: a reward granting unit (127) for granting a reward based on the selected display object (enemy character) when it is determined by the fixing unit (126) that the reward generation condition is satisfied. (10) can be grasped.
According to the game device according to this aspect, if at least one display object is selected based on at least a part of the plurality of updated symbols, and the reward generation condition is satisfied for the selected display object A reward based on the display object is awarded. Thereby, a new preference can be given to the player in the process from when the symbol is updated until the reward is given.

Note that the symbol update unit (1232) may be any unit that can update at least a part of a plurality of displayed symbols. For example, the symbol update unit (1232) may be updated by rotating and stopping the reel on which the symbols are displayed. good. The reel may be physical (or mechanical) or may be shiftware displayed on the screen. Moreover, it is not restricted to the form of a reel, You may display a symbol separately for every block in which a symbol is displayed.
In addition, when a plurality of reels are used as described above, the symbols may be updated by rotating adjacent reels in the reverse direction and stopping. It is not necessary to give an illusion to the player by rotating the adjacent reels in reverse.
The object display unit (1233) may display the display objects regularly arranged on the screen (Gs), or may display them irregularly distributed. For example, enemy characters may be displayed as display objects, and may be divided into a plurality of types such as weak enemy characters and strong enemy characters (bosses).
When selecting one or more display objects from among the plurality of display objects, the object selection unit (attack target determination unit 125) may be based on a plurality of symbols displayed in the entire symbol arrangement area (Gs21). However, it may be based on a plurality of symbols displayed in the determination area (Gs211) which is a part of the symbol arrangement area (Gs21). The determination area (Gs211) does not need to be fixed and may change dynamically. Further, the object selection unit (attack target determination unit 125) may select one or more display objects from among a plurality of display objects based on symbols for which a predetermined combination is established, and the type and number of symbols. It may be selected based on the position and the like. Various rules for selecting one or more display objects from a plurality of display objects are assumed.
The reward generation condition determined by the reward determination unit (126) may be varied depending on the type of display object. For example, the reward generation condition for a certain enemy character may be that the object selection unit has selected the reward once and that a reward is assigned to the enemy character. In the reward generation condition, even if an enemy character to which no reward is assigned is selected, the reward generation condition is not satisfied.
For example, the reward granting unit (127) associates odds with the display object, and when the display object is selected by the object selection unit, the reward obtained by multiplying the odds associated with the display object by the bet amount is rewarded. You may give as. Examples of the odds include x1, x2, x4, and x0 (no reward). Further, the odds may be changed according to the type of the display object.
The reward when a specific display object is selected may be a so-called progressive reward or a fixed reward.

  The symbol update unit (1232) updates at least a part of the plurality of symbols displayed in the predetermined area based on the probability stored in the symbol data storage unit (1221). Thereby, since a plurality of symbols are displayed on the screen (Gs) with the probability stored in the symbol data storage unit (1221), the appearance probability of the symbol can be changed according to the mode or the like.

<Appendix 2>
The game device according to another aspect is the game device according to attachment 1, wherein the object display unit (enemy character display unit 1233) displays the display object (enemy character) selected by the object selection unit (attack target determination unit 1232). Change the aspect.
As for the change of the display mode, for example, the display object (enemy character) may be deleted, or the display object (enemy character) may be partially destroyed or displayed.
According to the game device according to the other aspect, the player can know the selected display object (or the state of the display object) by changing the display aspect.
Further, the object display unit (enemy character display unit 1233) causes the display object to appear with the probability stored in the object data storage unit (1222). As a result, the display object appears with the probability stored in the object data storage unit (1222), so that the appearance probability of the display object can be changed according to the mode or the like.

<Appendix 3>
A game device according to another aspect is the game device according to attachment 1, wherein the object selection unit (attack target determination unit 125) has a predetermined combination of a plurality of symbols at least partially updated by the symbol update unit (1232). If it is established, a display object is selected according to the position of the symbol constituting the combination.
In the game device according to the other aspect, for example, there is a possibility that a combination of predetermined symbols is established in three columns of left, center, and right, and the enemy character corresponds to the three columns, left, center, and right. If the predetermined symbol combination is established in the left column, the enemy character in the left column is selected.
