BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION An embodiment of a game system according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the game system of this embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the game system 1 includes a mobile terminal 2 of a player who trains a character,
It is composed of a pachi-slot gaming machine 3 in which a player plays a game, and a character server 4 which acquires a character from the player's mobile terminal 2 and puts it in the pachi-slot gaming machine 3.

An example of the pachi-slot gaming machine 3 will now be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, on the front surface of the pachi-slot gaming machine 3, a spinning reel 21, a display unit 22 for displaying effects and information by a character, and a credit display for displaying credits (number of inserted medals, number of possessed coins). Part 23
And a gaming machine number 24, which is a number unique to the gaming machine, is installed. However, although the pachi-slot gaming machine is illustrated as the gaming machine in FIGS. 1 and 2, it may be a pachinko gaming machine or another gaming machine.

The mobile terminal 2 is a mobile phone or PDA.
(Personal digital assistants), laptops, etc. are included. The mobile terminal 2, the pachi-slot gaming machine 3, and the character server 4 are connected via a communication network such as the Internet.

Next, the character raising process in the game system 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

First, the player accesses the character server 4 from the portable terminal 2 and requests acquisition of a character (S201). In response to this, the character server 4 transmits a training program for training the character to the mobile terminal 2 (S202). This training program is a normal game program, and the player trains a character in the game while playing a game on the portable terminal 2 (S
203).

Here, to train a character means that the player plays a game using the character to improve the points and status of the character, and the user plays the game on the portable terminal 2 each time. The character is raised, and when the game ends, the character is saved (S204), and the character raising process of the present embodiment ends.

In this way, the player trains the character on his / her own portable terminal 2, and when he / she plays the game on the pachi-slot gaming machine 3, he / she inserts the character from the portable terminal 2 into the pachi-slot gaming machine 3 to play the game.

Here, the character insertion process in the game system 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

When a player starts a game on the pachi-slot gaming machine 3, first, the character server 4 is accessed from the portable terminal 2 (S301) and the gaming machine number of the pachi-slot gaming machine 3 about to start the game is input ( S30
2). This gaming machine number is displayed on the front surface of the gaming machine as shown in FIG. 2, and by inputting this gaming machine number, the pachi-slot gaming machine 3 which the player is about to start playing can be specified.

Then, the player transmits the trained character from the portable terminal 2 to the character server 4 (S30
3) The received character server 4 throws the character into the pachi-slot gaming machine 3 based on the gaming machine number (S).
304). Alternatively, the mobile terminal 2 may be directly inserted into the pachi-slot gaming machine 3 by wireless communication or the like.

Upon receiving the character, the pachi-slot gaming machine 3 becomes playable, and the player starts the game (S30).
5).

Here, the pachi-slot gaming machine 3 provides a normal game, sets mutation information according to the breeding situation of the inserted character, and mutates the character according to this mutation information to increase credits. (S
306).

For example, when the breeding situation of the character is "5" which is the highest among the five stages, the probability is 1 / as the mutation information.
It is set to 300 so that the character mutates once in every 300 games to increase the credit by "10".

Similarly, when the training status is "4", the probability is set to 1/400 so that the character is mutated once every 400 games to increase the credit by "10", and the training status is "3". In this case, the probability is set to 1/500 and the character is mutated once every 500 games to increase the credit by "10". The same is set when the training status is "2" or "1".

In this way, when the breeding situation is good, the probability that the character will mutate is set to be high, and when the breeding situation is bad, the probability that it will be mutated is set to be low, and the credit is changed when the character is mutated. .

Although the case where the probability is changed as the mutation information in accordance with the breeding situation has been exemplified here, the time when the character mutates may be changed in accordance with the breeding situation. For example, if the training status is 5 in 5 stages,
The character mutates once every 3 hours and credits "1.
When the breeding status is “4”, the character mutates once every four hours and the credit is “1”.
It may be increased by 0 ”.

Furthermore, the mutation of the character may be generated according to the gaming state of the pachi-slot gaming machine 3. For example, the probability of mutating the character may be increased when the player loses 50 games in a row on the pachi-slot gaming machine 3.

In this way, when the player plays a game on the pachi-slot gaming machine 3 and then ends the game, the portable terminal 2 transmits a game end request to the character server 4 (S307), and in response to this, the character server 4 receives the request. Notifies the pachi-slot gaming machine 3 of the end of the game, acquires a character from the pachi-slot gaming machine 3 (S308), and returns the character to the mobile terminal 2 (S309).

Then, the player moves the character to the portable terminal 2
(S310) and the character input process in the game system 1 of the present embodiment ends.

Thus, the game system 1 of this embodiment
, The player trains a character on his or her own mobile terminal and puts it in the game machine, and increases credits according to the trained state of this character. Therefore, conventionally, the player is unilaterally directed from the game machine. Although it was boring, it is possible to provide the player with a familiar effect.

[0028]

As described above, according to the game system of the present invention, the player can introduce the character trained on his / her own portable terminal into the game machine so that the player can familiarize himself with the character. It is possible to provide a certain production. In addition, the player will not get tired due to an unexpected mutation of the character and an increase in credit.
