Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the game device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
There are various types and types of gaming machines, but in the present embodiment, the calling lamp 1 provided in the gaming machine will be described.
The call lamp 1 is provided with an LED, a display means such as a liquid crystal display, and a notification means such as a sound output means for emitting a sound or a sound effect from a speaker. The call lamp 1 can be displayed by a predetermined call effect based on an operation by a player. You can call a clerk.

The call lamp 1 of the present embodiment can collect and display game data (game information) about the slot machine 50 based on a game signal output from the slot machine 50, but is different from the slot machine game in the RPG game, It is possible to execute a board game (hereinafter, referred to as a specific game) such as a board game or an RPG-like board game in which these are combined as a specific effect.
Such a call lamp 1 is incorporated as one gaming device that constitutes the gaming system S in the gaming hall.

As shown in FIG. 1, the gaming system S includes, in addition to the slot machine 50, the medal lending machine 40, and the calling lamp 1, a relay information processing device such as a base computer 10 and an island computer 20 that are connected for data communication, A central processing unit such as a hall computer 30 is provided, and a game signal input to the calling lamp 1 from the slot machine 50 and the medal lending machine 40 is relayed between the base computer 10 and the island computer 20 via the calling lamp 1. Input to the hall computer 30.
The game signal output from the slot machine 50 or the medal lending machine 40 does not necessarily have to pass through the calling lamp 1, but may be directly input to a higher-level computer.

In the slot machine 50, a plurality of reels (usually three reels) in which a plurality of symbols including pictures, numbers, letters, etc. are displayed are rotated by inserting a medal as a game medium and pressing a start lever. At the same time as starting, the internal lottery process for determining the winning combination is performed by lottery, and the reel is stopped by operating the stop button at any timing, and medals are paid out according to the combination of symbols when stopped. Thus, the slot machine game is executed.
In the slot machine 50, a game setting value preset by an operation of a clerk at a game hall is internally stored in a storage unit such as a RAM, and the winning probability corresponding to the game setting value (internal setting value) is small. It is controlled so that the role and the bonus are won.
The game set value is made up of a plurality of numbers, and is controlled so that the degree of advantage differs depending on the set game set value.
The game setting value of the present embodiment consists of 6 stages (1 to 6), and the higher the game setting value (higher setting), the higher the winning probability and the more advantageous the slot machine game can proceed.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game signals output from the slot machine 50 toward the calling lamp 1 include a make signal, a payout signal, a bonus signal, and the like.
The throw-in signal is made up of a pulse train of the number corresponding to the number of medals thrown into the slot machine 50, and the output is started at the operation timing of the start lever provided in the slot machine 50.
The payout signal is made up of a pulse train of a number corresponding to the number of medals paid out from the slot machine 50, like the input signal, and the symbols represented on the plurality of reels provided in the slot machine 50 are combinations of the symbols related to the small winning a prize and the replay. It is output when stopped at.
The bonus signal is output during the bonus game of the slot machine 50.
Further, as a gaming state of the slot machine 50, it is possible to switch between a low probability state in which a predetermined lottery target (for example, "replay") in the internal lottery process has a low winning probability and a high probability state in which the winning probability is high. Therefore, a signal capable of specifying the game state can be output as a game signal.
Further, the sales signal output from the medal lending machine 40 can be input to the calling lamp 1 as a game signal.
The sales signal is, for example, a signal indicating consumption of 10 yen when 100 yen is used and 1000 yen is used, and is finally input to the hall computer 30.

[Call lamp]
As shown in FIG. 3, the calling lamp 1 includes a communication unit 5 that receives a game signal output from the slot machine 50 and the like, and transmits the game signal to the base computer 10, and a liquid crystal display, and a numeral. , A display unit 2 capable of displaying information such as characters and figures, a plurality of LEDs (full color LEDs) built-in, and a light emitting unit 3 for notifying information about the slot machine 50 in a predetermined light output pattern, and a slot machine. A sound output unit 4 for notifying information about 50 by a sound or a sound effect, and a control unit (control unit) 6 as a computer including a central processing unit such as a CPU and a storage unit such as a ROM or a RAM.
Although not shown, an infrared receiving unit capable of receiving an infrared signal transmitted from a remote controller carried by a store clerk or a manager may be provided.
In the call lamp 1 having such a configuration, a predetermined area of the display unit 2 is provided with a touch-operable touch panel, and the control unit 6 controls the light emitting unit 3 and the sound based on the operation of the call button by the touch operation. The basic operation is to call a store clerk in the game hall by driving and controlling the output unit 4.
In addition to such basic operation, the call lamp 1 of the present embodiment, the control unit 6 obtains various game data in the slot machine 50 based on the game signal received via the communication unit 5, and obtains the game data. The game data is displayed on the display unit 2, and the display unit 2 is caused to perform an operation as an effect means for executing a specific game related to the game data.
Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the calling lamp 1 stores a specific set value as an internal set value in a storage means such as a RAM, in addition to the game set value which is the internal set value of the slot machine 50. The game is controlled based on the specific set value and the game data.

The game data obtained by the control unit 6 of the calling lamp 1 includes the following.
For example, the control unit 6 can calculate the cumulative total of inserted medals inserted into the corresponding slot machine 50 by counting the output pulses of the insertion signal.
Since the input signal is output as a single pulse train every time the slot machine game is executed, the number of games in the slot machine 50 can be calculated by counting this pulse train as one unit.
When the input signal is not received for a certain period of time, it is possible to detect a state (empty table) in which the slot machine 50 is not playing a game.
Further, by counting the number of output pulses of the payout signal, it is possible to calculate the cumulative total of the number of payout medals paid out from the slot machine 50.
Further, by monitoring whether or not the bonus signal is output, it is possible to determine whether or not the slot machine 50 is in the bonus game.
Further, by counting the number of times the bonus signal is output, the number of bonus games in the slot machine 50 can be calculated.

The control unit 6 can display the game data thus obtained on the display unit 2.
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the display area 2a on the upper portion of the display unit 2 is used as a display area for game data, and the number of bonus games on the day is "the number of big hits" and the number of games on the day is "the number of games". It is possible to display game information such as the "past history" including the number of jackpots and the number of games on the day before, the day before two, etc.
As a result, the player can grasp the present or past operating state of the slot machine 50.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the display area 2b below the display unit 2 can be used as the display area of the specific game.
Here, the call lamp 1 of the present embodiment can execute an RPG game, a board game, and an RPG-like board game as a specific game, and display a game screen of such a specific game in the display area 2b. You can
The RPG game, the board game, and the RPG-like board game can exemplify the following modes of games.

The RPG game is, for example, a game of defeating an enemy character that appears (is displayed) on the display area 2b at a predetermined timing (for example, when a big hit).
A predetermined number of maximum HPs (maximum hit points) are given to the enemy character in advance, and can be reduced by an attack. For example, for each game in the slot machine 50, one of the 1-5 hit points is selected, and the selected hit point number is subtracted from the maximum HP as an attack on the enemy character. With such an attack, the enemy character can be defeated by setting the maximum HP to 0.

In the board game, for example, dice consisting of 1 to 6 are automatically rolled according to the number of games played on the slot machine 50, and a piece is advanced from a start point according to the number of the rolled pieces to reach a goal. (See FIG. 5).

The RPG style board game is a game in which the elements of the RPG game and the elements of the board game are combined.
For example, the dice are rolled according to the number of games played on the slot machine 50, the pieces are advanced from the start point according to the number of appearances, and the objective is to reach the goal while defeating the enemy characters appearing in each square. An example of a game of this mode is shown in FIG.

In such a specific game, a bonus can be given to the player when a predetermined condition is satisfied as the game progresses (a bonus giving means).
For example, when the enemy character is defeated in the RPG game or the RPG style board game, or when the goal is reached in the board game or the RPG style board game, a gorgeous effect (special effect) is displayed on the display unit 2 as a privilege. Alternatively, it is possible to display game information that cannot be generally viewed (for example, special game information such as jackpot information one week ago) on the display unit 2.
Also, points can be given as another privilege.
Points can be accumulated, and when a predetermined point is reached, the special effect can be displayed on the display unit 2 or the special game information can be displayed on the display unit 2.
Furthermore, in RPG games and RPG-like board games, the accumulated points can be exchanged for items such as weapons and armor, and the use of these items to compete with enemy characters will allow the game to proceed in an advantageous manner. it can.

Such points can also be given based on the game data.
For example, points can be awarded when the number of jackpots reaches a predetermined number, and thus the points obtained by playing the slot machine 50 can be used in a specific game.
For example, in an RPG game or an RPG-like board game, the acquired points can be exchanged for items such as weapons and armor, and the game can be advantageously advanced by using these items in a battle with an enemy character. ..
Also, in board games and RPG-style board games, you can exchange the points you have earned with items that represent two dice, and by using this item, you can roll two dice at a time and advance the game in an advantageous manner. be able to.
Further, in this case, as shown in FIG. 6, it is possible to display on the display unit 2 an animation of an arrow pointing from the “big hit count” display area to the display area 2b which is the display area of the specific game.
By doing so, it can be shown that the effect of the game data moves to the specific game.
That is, it is possible to show that the game is a specific game to which a composite game element is added, as compared with a case where a slot machine game or a specific game is individually performed, by the effect associated with the game data of the corresponding slot machine 50. it can.
Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's motivation to play the slot machine 50 or the calling lamp 1.

As described above, the calling lamp 1 has a specific setting value that defines the degree of advantage of the specific game, in addition to the game setting value of the slot machine 50 (see FIG. 4).
The specific set value can be set in, for example, three stages of 1 to 3, and like the game set value, an arbitrary setting is made for each call lamp 1 by an operation by a store clerk at the game hall (for example, an operation by the remote controller for the administrator). Can be set to a value. The set value is stored in a storage unit such as a RAM.
The setting of the specific set value can also be performed by touching the display unit 2.
Further, the specific set values are collectively set by transmitting a setting signal to a plurality of target call lamps 1 by an input operation to a higher-level device (for example, a base computer 10, an island computer 20, a hall computer 30). You can also do it.
Further, the specific setting value can be set to be prohibited so that it cannot be changed during the business hours of the game arcade.
Further, the specific setting value can be changed to any level instead of three levels. For example, it can be changed to 6 levels (1 to 6) like the game set value.
In this case, the specific set value of each calling lamp 1 can be made the same value as the game set value of the corresponding slot machine 50 by the operation of the game store.

Further, the call lamp 1 of the present embodiment can control the content of the specific game based on the specific set value and the game data (see FIG. 4).
For example, in an RPG game or an RPG-like board game, hit points of 1 to 5 are selected based on a predetermined selection rate when playing against an enemy character. The selection ratio of "5" is set to a ratio value higher than the selection ratio of hit points "5" in the case of the specific setting value "1".
In the board game and the RPG-like board game, the dice of 1 to 6 are rolled, but when the specific setting value is "3", the selection ratio of the eye "6" is the specific setting value "1". In this case, the ratio value is set to be higher than the selection ratio of "6".
Thereby, for example, when the first specific setting value (for example, “1”) is set and when the second specific setting value (for example, “3”) different from the first specific setting value is set. When the second specific setting value is set, the special effect and the special game information can be displayed more easily, and the game can be advanced with a high degree of advantage. it can.

Further, as another operation of the privilege granting means, a privilege associated with the specific set value can be granted.
For example, even when points are awarded based on the game of the slot machine 50, such as when the number of jackpots reaches a predetermined number, the specific setting value “3” is set and the specific setting value “1” is set. When the specific setting value “3” is set, the higher points can be set so as to be easily acquired.
An example using the point setting tables t1 to t3 of FIGS. 7 to 9 will be described with respect to such a privilege giving operation.
The point setting tables t1 to t3 are table data set for each different condition, and each of the acquired points (1, 3, 5, 10, 30, 50) having 255 as a parameter corresponds to each specific set value. ) Is assigned (see FIGS. 7 to 9).

FIG. 7 is a point setting table t1 used when points are awarded each time a big hit is achieved a predetermined number of times.
Specifically, under the condition that "every big hit is achieved a predetermined number of times", a random number value of 1 to 255 is generated by a predetermined random number generation means each time the condition is achieved, and the random value is compared with a predetermined hit value. , Give points where they match.
For example, for the specific setting value “1”, the winning value of 5 points is 1 to 175 (175), the winning value of 10 points is 176 to 215 (40), and the winning value of 30 points is 216. ~ 235 (20 pieces) are assigned in advance to 236 to 255 (20 pieces) as a winning value of 50 points (see FIG. 7), and a call lamp with a specific set value "1" is set. In 1, when the above condition is achieved and the random number generation means obtains the random number value 5, 5pt is given to the player.
When the specific setting value is “1”, the average value of the acquired points in the point setting table t1 is (5pt×175+10pt×40+30pt×20+50pt×20)/255)≈11.3pt, and the specific setting value is “2”. In the case of (5pt×145+10pt×50+30pt×30+50pt×30)/255)≈14.2pt, when the specific setting value is “3”, (5pt×95+10pt×60+30pt×50+50pt×50)/255)≈19. It will be 9pt.
In addition, when the specific setting value is “1”, the points acquired in the point setting table t1 are set to 175/255 for 5pt, 40/255 for 10pt, 20/255 for 30pt, and 20/255 for 50pt. When the value is "2", 5pt is set to 145/255, 10pt is set to 50/255, 30pt is set to 30/255, and 50pt is set to 30/255. When the specific set value is "3", 5pt is set to 95/255. 10pt is set to 60/255, 30pt is set to 50/255, and 50pt is set to 50/255.
According to the point setting table t1 as described above, when the specific set value is high, the content of the specific game can be controlled so that high points can be easily acquired.
In the point setting table, it is possible to give an appropriate variation to the number of points to be given or the difference in points obtained between specific set values, or conversely, to give weighting.
For example, in the point setting table t1, since it is assumed that the frequency of satisfying the condition is low, the number of high points such as 50 pt (point award rate) is set high, and the number of low points of 5 pt award (point award). The rate is set to be low so that the number of points acquired per time is high (see FIG. 7).

FIG. 8 is a point setting table t2 when the condition for giving points is “every game”.
The average value of the acquired points in the point setting table t2 is about 1.7 pt for the specific setting value “1”, about 2.1 pt for the specific setting value “2”, and about 2.1 pt for the specific setting value “3”. The value is 3.0 pt, which is set to a lower value than the point setting table t1 and the point setting table t3 described later.
The acquired points in the point setting table t2 are different from those in the point setting table t1 in that low points such as 1 pt and 3 pt are set.
That is, since it is assumed that the point setting table t2 has a high frequency of satisfying the point giving condition, low points are given and the giving rate is made high so that the points earned per time are made low. (See FIG. 8).

FIG. 9 is a point setting table t3 when the condition for giving points is “every big hit”.
The average value of the acquired points in the point setting table t3 is about 7.8 pt when the specific setting value is “1”, about 11.1 pt when the specific setting value is “2”, and about about pt when the specific setting value is “3”. The value is 15.7 pt, which is lower than that of the point setting table t1 and higher than that of the point setting table t2.
The acquired points in the point setting table t3 are different from the point setting table t1 in that they are set for 3pt, and are different from the point setting table t2 in that they are not set for 1pt.
That is, in the point setting table t3, the frequency of satisfying the point grant condition is between “every predetermined number of big hits” and “every game once”, and thus 1pt is not granted and the point grant rate of 3pt They are distributed in a balanced manner by raising the.

As described above, in the point setting tables t1 to t3, although the point-giving rate is different according to the respective point-giving conditions, the specific setting value “1” is “low setting” in which relatively low points are easily acquired, The specific setting value "3" is "high setting" in which relatively high points can be easily obtained.
Thereby, for example, when the first specific setting value (for example, “1”) is set and when the second specific setting value (for example, “3”) different from the first specific setting value is set. When the second specific setting value is set, it is easier to obtain high points and the game can be advanced with a high degree of advantage.
In the point setting tables t1 to t3, the earned points are set in correspondence with the specific setting values having three levels of 1 to 3, respectively. It is possible to change to a point setting table in which earned points are set corresponding to stages.
In this case, it is possible to allocate the earned points corresponding to the respective earned set values so as to have an appropriate variation.

Further, in the specific game based on the specific setting value described above, the following effects can be performed.
For example, the control unit 6 can cause the display unit 2 to perform an effect display that suggests that the specific setting value is set to any one of 1 to 3.
Specifically, when a predetermined condition is achieved, the display unit 2 displays a display that refers to the specific setting value stored in a storage unit such as a RAM and indicates that the specific setting value is set. Can be done.
For example, when the specific setting value "3" is set, as shown in FIG. 10, it is possible to display the content such as "is it a high setting?" in the display area 2b of the specific game.
The predetermined condition may be, for example, when a match with a specific enemy character is won, or when the number of games or the number of jackpots of the slot machine 50 reaches a predetermined number.
As a result, the player can know that the particular game has a high degree of advantage, and can motivate the player to play the game.

Further, the control unit 6 can cause the display unit 2 to perform an effect display that suggests the game setting value of the corresponding slot machine 50, based on the progress of the specific game.
This is because the case where the internal set value (game set value) of the slot machine 50 is high is generally referred to as “high setting”. There is an effect of giving a hint to the player that "it may be a high setting".
Therefore, it is possible to suggest the relationship between the game setting value in the slot machine 50 and the specific setting value in the call lamp 1 by the control operation.
Further, as described above, both the game setting value of the slot machine 50 and the specific setting value of the calling lamp 1 can be set by the store clerk, so that the corresponding internal setting values are set to the same value. Therefore, "may it be a high setting?" (see FIG. 10) not only suggests that the specific setting value is a high setting, but also that the game setting value is a high setting and that both internal setting values are equal. Will be suggested.
In addition, the balloon display of "is it high setting?" is arranged from the display area 2a related to the game data as a starting point (see FIG. 10), and the display of "is it high setting?" is displayed between the display areas 2a and 2b. The same operation and effect can be obtained by arranging them in the same area or displaying them alternately in the respective areas.
Note that the suggested content and the specific setting value do not necessarily have to match, and even if the specific setting value is "1" or "2", "Maybe high setting?" can be displayed.
Further, such display can be performed when a predetermined condition is satisfied or at regular intervals.

Further, the call lamp 1 has a normal state and a specific state different from the normal state as an internal state different from the gaming state of the slot machine 50, and the control unit 6 operates as a management unit. It is also possible to manage these internal states.
Then, when the internal state is the specific state, the control unit 6 can advance the specific game with an advantage degree higher than that of the normal state.
For example, as the specific state, there is a state in which a high rate of giving a high point is high in the specific game (high probability state), and in the normal state, there is a state other than the high probability state (low probability state), as shown in FIG. , When the predetermined condition (condition A) is satisfied in the normal state, the state is changed to the specific state (high probability state), and when the predetermined condition (condition B) is satisfied in the specific state, the normal state (low probability state) is changed. Can be controlled to transition.
For example, when a special enemy character that appears in a normal state is defeated (condition A is achieved), a specific state is entered, and after the specific state is entered, the number of games of the slot machine 50 reaches a predetermined number of times (condition B). Achievement) can be changed to the normal state.
In the normal state, the control unit 6 controls the point giving using the normal point setting tables t1 to t3 (see FIGS. 7 to 9), and in the specific state, the point setting table for the high probability state (high probability It is possible to control points by using a table).
For example, FIG. 12 is a point setting table t11 used when points are awarded each time a big hit is achieved a predetermined number of times in a specific state.
The point setting table t11 is different from the point setting table t1 (see FIG. 7) in that the condition for giving points is the same, but the point setting rate for high points (50 pt) is set high. Since points are given with a relatively high probability, it can be defined as a high probability table.
Therefore, by using such a high probability table, it is possible to easily obtain high points as compared with the normal state, and the specific game can be advantageously advanced.
Note that, for example, a predetermined number of 0 point giving rates (misses) are set in the point setting table t1, and the 0 point giving rate in the point setting table t11 is set to a value smaller than the predetermined number is used as the high probability table. You can also
Also with this high probability table, it becomes easier to obtain points than in the normal state, and the specific game can be advantageously advanced.
Further, when the internal state of the calling lamp 1 can be managed, the control unit 6 can cause the display unit 2 to perform an effect display indicating the internal state.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, it is possible to display on the display unit 2 a message such as “is it high probability?”.
As a result, it is possible to make the player expect the internal state of the specific game to be a high probability state.
In addition, since the gaming state of the slot machine 50 is generally a high probability state, it is generally referred to as “high probability”. Therefore, the display of “may it be a high probability?” indicates that the gaming state of the slot machine 50 is a high probability state. Since it can be done, the player's motivation for playing the game can be increased.

In the calling lamp 1 and the gaming system S of the present embodiment, the effect that the internal setting value of a certain calling lamp 1 is high or the internal state is a high probability state is suggested in another calling lamp 1. be able to.
In such an effect, the internal setting value of the calling lamp 1 and the identification information of the internal state and the identification number of the slot machine 50 (such as the machine number) are used to determine the host computer such as the island computer 20 or the hall computer 30 or the adjacent calling lamp 1 It can be implemented by outputting to another calling lamp 1 via the above.
According to such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 14, the fact that the internal setting value of the calling lamp 1 installed in the slot machines 50 in the 579-series is set high is set in another slot machine 50. It can be suggested in the calling lamp 1 that is
Further, not limited to the above-described configuration, for example, when a movable object is provided in the calling lamp 1, the movable object may be directed toward the other calling lamp 1 which is set to high at a predetermined timing. It can also be controlled.
As a result, it is possible to prompt the player to move to the slot machine 50 or the calling lamp 1 which may be set at a high level.
In addition, such control can be performed when the slot machine 50, which is set to a high level, is empty.
It can be detected that the slot machine 50 provided side by side is a vacant base, as described above, when the input signal from the slot machine 50 is not received for a certain period of time.
As a result, it is possible to support a player who is playing a game in another slot machine 50, to reliably move to a vacant base that may be set at a high level.

As described above, according to the call lamp 1 which is an example of the game device according to the present embodiment, not only the game data is displayed and an effect is produced based on the game data, but also the call lamp 1 and the slot machine 50 are provided. The progress and effects of a specific game are controlled based on the internal set values and game data.
Therefore, by adjusting the internal setting value, for example, when the setting is high, it is possible to increase the player's willingness to play the game with the particular effect of the calling lamp 1 in mind.
Moreover, not only can the internal setting value indicating the degree of advantage in the game of the slot machine 50 be inferred, but the internal setting value indicating the degree of advantage in the specific game of the calling lamp 1 can be estimated, so that such a composite It is possible to increase the player's motivation to play the game by adding the game element.

On the other hand, in the conventional gaming device, the situation of production is greatly changed depending on the situation of occurrence of hit in the gaming machine (especially slot machine), and if the hit does not occur easily, the production hardly occurs, attracting players and gaming machines. Couldn't be fully contributed to improving the operation of.
In particular, no gaming machine was selected for the purpose of installing a specific call lamp.
According to the gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to solve all or some of the problems to be solved by the conventional gaming device.

The preferred embodiment of the game device of the present invention has been described above, but the game device according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. Needless to say.

For example, in the present embodiment, the gaming device according to the present invention is applied to the call lamp, but is installed between the stand computer 10, the island computer 20, the hall computer 30, the display device provided corresponding to the gaming machine, and the gaming machine. It can also be applied to a stand-to-stand display or the like provided with a display means.
Further, the calling lamp 1 may be provided with an NFC compatible reader/writer.
In this case, by holding the NFC (Near Field Radio communication) compatible terminal possessed by the player over the reader/writer, the progress of the game is saved by using the identification information of the terminal as a key, and again the NFC compatible terminal is held over. By doing so, the game can be restarted from the place where it was saved, using the identification information of the terminal as a key.
Further, an application of a mobile terminal such as a smartphone possessed by the player can be linked with a specific game.
For example, by transmitting a predetermined signal wirelessly from the calling lamp 1 at the timing when an enemy character appears, the smartphone that receives the signal vibrates due to the vibration function, or the AR (Augmented Reality) function causes the real space on the screen of the smartphone. You can display the enemy character on.
As a result, it is possible to further increase the player's willingness to play the game.

In addition, in a notification operation or the like when the call button of the call lamp 1 is operated, it is possible to perform an effect that suggests the internal set value by a special light emission mode by the light emitting unit 3.
For example, when the call button is operated in the case of the high setting, the high setting can be suggested by increasing the ratio of making the LED light emission mode different from the normal one such as blinking the LED at high speed.
If the time from when there is a calling operation on the calling lamp 1 to when the salesclerk responds exceeds a predetermined time, bonus points can be awarded in addition to the above points including the meaning of apology.
In addition, the calling lamp 1 can store the internal set value (game set value) of the slot machine 50, and when both internal set values (specific set values) match, both internal set values are It can also indicate a match or a possible match. Further, even if they do not match, it is possible to suggest the possibility that they match.

For this reason, not only the display such as "is it a high setting?" or "is it a high probability?", but also "high setting!", "high probability!", "call lamp high setting!", "slot machine high probability!" Can be displayed.
Further, when the set value is high, not only can the high setting be suggested, but also when the set value is low, the high setting can be suggested.
Further, it is possible to determine whether the progress of the specific game is fast or slow based on a predetermined standard.
For example, when the time required to reach the goal or the number of games is less than the reference number of times, it can be determined to be early.
Then, when it is determined that the progress of the game is fast, it can be suggested that the setting is high. On the contrary, it is possible to suggest that the setting is high when the game progresses slowly.

In addition, the specific game can be selected from an RPG game, a board game, and an RPG-like board game by a predetermined operation of the player on the call lamp 1 (for example, a touch operation on the display unit 2). You can
As a result, the player can play a specific game of his or her choice, and the game hall can also attract the player to the game hall by using the specific game.
