[Operation of pachinko gaming machine 10]
Here, with respect to the effects that change when the pachinko gaming machine 10 that is the first gaming machine receives the game data 2 from the consumer game machine 72 that is the second gaming machine, FIGS. 9, 11, and 12 will be described. Will be described.

  The character design 92 displayed in the effect in FIG. 9A is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 32 when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is played alone before the game data 2 from the home-use game machine 72 is received. It is the effect design displayed on the display area 32a. This symbol is a character that is mainly displayed again when the pachinko gaming machine 10 shifts to a jackpot that is advantageous to the player. In other words, this effect design is the most popular design.

  When the pachinko gaming machine 10 receives the game data 2 from the home-use game machine 72 (see FIG. 2B), refer to the effect symbol selection table of FIG. 12 from the received game data 2 (see FIG. 11). Then, based on the received game data 2, the display character is changed.

  In this embodiment, a so-called role-playing game (game software in which a player plays the role of a person in the game world and enjoys the process of growing through various experiences while achieving the goal) Will be described as an example.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 refers to the level of the main character of the received game data 2 and determines a production symbol. Specifically, since the level of the main character of the game data 2 in FIG. 11 is 3, the design symbol M1 is selected as the effect symbol (see FIG. 12).

  When the symbol M1 is selected as the effect symbol, the pachinko gaming machine 10 changes the symbol symbol 92 of the character displayed in the effect to the selected symbol M1 as shown in FIG. 9B, which is advantageous to the player. When the jackpot effect, which is a simple state, is displayed in the display area 32a of the liquid crystal display device 32 of the pachinko gaming machine 10. Originally, this symbol is a symbol (so-called premier symbol) in which the probability of selection is set to be very low when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is played alone.

  Here, the effect symbol selection table will be described.

  In the effect symbol selection table shown in FIG. 12, data from symbol M1 to symbol M10 is set according to the level data of the main character. For example, for the symbols M1 to M5, when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is played alone, the probability is low but the possibility of appearance (so-called premier symbols) is set. In the symbols M6 to M10, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is set. An effect design that does not appear when a single game is played is set.

  By setting in this way, the player can further enjoy the game of playing the pachinko gaming machine 10 using the game data 2 from the home game machine 72. Moreover, in order to display all the effect symbols, it is necessary to proceed with the game on the home game machine, so that an effect that will motivate the game to proceed on the home game machine can be expected.

  In the present embodiment, for ease of explanation, the level data is used from the game data 2 (see FIG. 11) to determine the effect screen, but in addition, the number of clear events, play time For example, the production screen may be determined in more detail or variously. In the effect symbol selection table (see FIG. 12), more effect symbols can be set so that the player does not get bored.

In the present embodiment, the game data 2 from the home game machine 72 is used to change the effect of the pachinko gaming machine 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the lottery probability at the big hit in the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be increased according to the data of the game data 2 (see FIG. 11). There is also a method of setting the number of rounds at the time of jackpot (number of times of opening / closing the big winning opening) so as to be more advantageous to the player. By taking such means that directly increase the profits for the player, it becomes possible to entertain the game with even more taste.
[Operation of second gaming machine]
Next, with respect to effects that change when the home game machine 72, which is the second gaming machine, receives the first game data 1 from the pachinko gaming machine 10, which is the first gaming machine, FIG. 10, FIG. This will be described with reference to FIG.

  10A is an effect image when the home-use game machine 72 is played alone before receiving the first game data 1 from the pachinko gaming machine 10. . This image is a display image when the hero character fights an enemy with a weapon (a wooden stick).

  When the home game machine 72 receives the first game data 1 from the pachinko gaming machine 10 (see FIG. 3D), the item selection shown in FIG. 14 is made from the received first game data 1 (see FIG. 13). With reference to the table, based on the received first game data 1, the item (in this case, a weapon) that the hero is equipped with is changed.

  The consumer game machine 72 refers to the jackpot number of the received first game data 1 and determines an equipment item. Specifically, since the number of jackpots of the first game data 1 in FIG. 13 is 12, the item N2 (see FIG. 14, in this case, a sword) is selected as the equipment item.

  When the item N2 is selected as the equipment item, the home-use game machine 72 changes the item equipped with the character to a sword as shown in FIG. 10B and fights against the enemy character. In this case, since the main character has a stronger item (sword as a weapon), the possibility of winning the battle with the enemy character increases. Originally, characters of this level should fight with weaker weapons (see FIG. 10 (a), wooden stick), but by using the first game data 1 from the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is in an advantageous state. I can fight.

  In the item selection table shown in FIG. 14, data from item N1 to item N10 is set according to the jackpot data of the first game data 1. Of course, the item N2 is set to be a stronger item than the item N1, and the item N3 is set to be a more powerful item than the item N2. In other words, winning more jackpots with the pachinko gaming machine 10 leads to more powerful items. Here, as a privilege, in the item N10, when a game is played with the home-use game machine 72 alone, if the ultimate item that is never available is set, the player can further improve the game from the pachinko machine 10. Using the first game data 1, the enjoyment of playing the home game machine 72 is increased. Moreover, in order to acquire a more powerful item, since it is necessary to acquire more jackpots in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the pachinko gaming machine 10 can also be expected to have an incentive to play a game.

  As an example of the present embodiment, the number of jackpots is used from the first game data 1 (see FIG. 13), and the equipment item is determined according to the number of jackpots. By using the number of rotations and the like, it is possible to set more detailed and varied items. In addition, regarding the number of jackpots, the number of chances of change, and the like, if the pachinko gaming machine 10 is not in good condition, it may be possible to acquire a large number of data.
