As shown in FIG. 1, in the control method of the game system including the slot machine in this embodiment, first, an authentication process is performed (step S100). In this authentication process, an initial confirmation process is performed before the start of the basic game, such as whether the program for operating the system operates normally or whether the program has been tampered with.

  Next, a basic game is executed (step S200). In this basic game, when a later-described start switch 25 is pressed in a state where a desired number of credits is bet, such as by inserting coins into a later-described coin receiving slot 22, scrolling of symbols with symbols is started. Thereafter, a basic game in which the symbols are stopped (rearranged) is executed (see FIGS. 3 and 4).

  Next, it is determined whether or not a predetermined cashout operation has been performed by the player (step S300). Specifically, it is determined whether or not a cashout switch 26 described later is turned on. If it is determined that a predetermined cash-out operation has not been performed (NO in step S300), the process proceeds to step S200.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that a predetermined cash-out operation has been performed (YES in step S300), payout according to the current number of credits is performed. Generally, at the time of payout, coins are paid out from a coin payout exit 27 described later. On the other hand, in this embodiment, in addition to payout of coins, payout is performed by transmitting electronic data (payment data described later) to a mobile phone possessed by the player.

  When paying out, it is first determined whether or not there is an operation for selecting the type of settlement data to be converted (step S400). Here, the settlement data includes, for example, money data, mileage card point data, and point data of a specific Internet site. That is, in this embodiment, not only money data is transmitted to a mobile phone, but also a mobile phone that can be handled in the same way as non-monetary money, such as mileage card points and Internet site points, depending on the player's selection.

  In the slot machine 13, only a partial area of the display surface of the display 30 is an area that switches to a transparent / non-transparent state, but an entire area of the display screen of the display 30 may be an area that switches to a transparent / non-transparent state. Absent. As described above, when the entire region of the display 30 is a region that switches to the transmissive state or the non-transmissive state, all of the reflective film 36 may be the non-reflective region 36B or the reflective film 36 may be omitted.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the controller 100 of the mechanical reel slot machine 13. As shown in FIG. 8, the controller 100 of the slot machine 13 includes a microcomputer, and includes an interface circuit group 102, an input / output bus 104, a CPU 106, a ROM 108, a RAM 110, a communication interface circuit 111, a random number generator 112, and a motor drive. A circuit 120, a speaker drive circuit 122, a hopper drive circuit 124, a display unit drive circuit 128, and a display / input controller 140 are provided. Since the configuration of the video reel described with reference to FIG. 5 is the same except for a part thereof, only a portion different from that of the video reel described with reference to FIG. 5 will be described here.

  A reel position detection circuit 46 is connected to the interface circuit group 102. The reel position detection circuit 46 is a circuit for detecting the rotation position of each mechanical reel 3A to 3E based on a pulse signal from a reel rotation position sensor (not shown). The detection signal is also supplied to the interface circuit group 102, converted into a predetermined signal by the interface circuit group 102, and then supplied to the input / output bus 104.

  The CPU 106 reads out the basic game program and executes the basic game when the start operation of the basic game is received by the start switch 25. The basic game program starts the scrolling of the symbols on the reels 3A to 3E by driving each of the stepping motors 45A to 45E to rotate all the mechanical reels 3A to 3E. Thereafter, the driving of each of the stepping motors 45A to 45E is stopped to stop the rotation of all the mechanical reels 3A to 3E, thereby rearranging the symbols of the reels 3A to 3E. When the combination of the symbols stopped at that time is shown on the payline and a specific combination for giving a prize is shown, a coin corresponding to the specific combination for giving the prize is paid out. The basic game program is programmed so that the CPU 106 executes the above operations.

  The CPU 106 also controls the second game. Therefore, the CPU 106 transmits a signal for executing the second game when a predetermined condition is satisfied when the symbols of all the mechanical reels 3A to 3E are stopped and displayed.

  A motor driving circuit 120 for driving the stepping motors 45A to 45E is also connected to the input / output bus 104. The CPU 106 controls the operation of the stepping motors 45 </ b> A to 45 </ b> E via the motor driving circuit 120 in response to occurrence of a predetermined event.

  FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the display / input controller 140 of the slot machine 13 shown in FIGS. The display / input controller 140 of the slot machine 13 includes a sub-microcomputer that performs image display processing and input control from the touch panel 32. The display / input controller 140 includes an interface circuit 142, an input / output bus 144, a CPU 146, a ROM 148, A RAM 150, a VDP 152, a video RAM 154, an image data ROM 156, a drive circuit 158, and a touch panel control circuit 160 are provided.

  The interface circuit 142 is connected to the input / output bus 144. The image display command output from the CPU 106 on the controller 100 side is supplied to the input / output bus 144 via the interface circuit 142. The input / output bus 144 inputs / outputs data signals or address signals to / from the CPU 146.

  A ROM 148 and a RAM 150 are connected to the input / output bus 144. The ROM 148 stores a display control program for generating a drive signal to be supplied to the display 30 based on an image display command from the CPU 106 on the controller 100 side. On the other hand, the RAM 150 stores flags and variable values used in the display control program.

  A VDP 152 is also connected to the input / output bus 144. The VDP 152 includes a so-called sprite circuit, a screen circuit, a palette circuit, and the like, and is a processing device that can perform various processes for displaying an image on the display 30. The VDP 152 stores a video RAM 154 for storing image data in accordance with an image display command from the CPU 106 on the controller 100 side, and an image data ROM 156 storing various image data including the effect image data and the like. Is connected. Furthermore, a drive circuit 158 that outputs a drive signal for driving the display 30 is also connected to the VDP 152.

  The CPU 146 reads out and executes a display control program stored in the ROM 148, thereby causing the video RAM 154 to store image data to be displayed on the display 30 in accordance with an image display command from the CPU 106 on the controller 100 side. The image display command includes various image display commands including a display command for the effect image.

  The image data ROM 156 stores various types of image data including the effect image data and the like. The touch panel control circuit 160 transmits a signal received by the touch panel 32 on the display 30 as an input signal to the CPU 106 via the input / output bus 144.

  The above is the configuration of the game system according to the present embodiment. The BET switch 23, the spin / repeat / bet switch 24, the start switch 25, the cashout switch 26, and the touch panel 32 correspond to the operation unit of the slot machine 13.

  10 and 11 are flowcharts showing processing executed by the controller 100 of the slot machine 13 shown in FIG. First, the controller 100 including the CPU 106 receives a conversion rate table (see FIG. 12) from the conversion rate management server 500 (step S1). Specifically, the controller 100 receives the conversion rate table (see FIG. 12) and stores it in the RAM 110.

  Here, the conversion rate table will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of the conversion rate table. The conversion rate table stores the monetary value per credit for each currency type. For example, in the case of “yen”, the monetary value required for one credit is “100 yen”.

  This conversion rate table is stored in the conversion rate management server 500, and the conversion rate changes with time for each currency type. The conversion rate is determined based on an exchange rate that changes in real time. For example, if the monetary value per credit for “yen” is “100 yen”, the conversion rate management server 500 uses the current exchange rate to determine the amount per credit such as “dollar” and “euro”. A monetary value is defined. Specifically, the conversion rate management server 500 determines that when the current exchange rate for “dollar” is 117 yen per dollar, it is 0.85 dollars per 100 yen. Thus, the controller 100 can acquire the conversion rate table reflecting the current exchange rate in step S1.

  In addition, when the monetary value per credit of a specific currency type (for example, yen) changes, the controller 100 changes the monetary value of another currency type accordingly. For example, if a place where a slot machine 13 is installed raises the price of 100 yen per credit to 200 yen per credit, the controller 100 can handle “200 yen” by inputting the contents of the price increase into the slot machine 13. Change the monetary value of “dollar”, “euro”, etc. based on the current exchange rate.

  Refer to FIG. 10 again. After receiving the conversion rate table (after step S1), the controller 100 determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed (step S2). If it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (YES in step S2), the process proceeds to step S1. As a result, the controller 100 receives the conversion rate table every predetermined time. That is, the controller 100 receives the exchange rate that changes in real time every predetermined time, and acquires an appropriate conversion rate table that matches the exchange rate fluctuation.

  If it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (NO in step S2), the controller 100 determines whether or not the player's mobile phone 300 is fixed to the holder 170 (step S3). Specifically, the controller 100 determines whether or not the distance between the wireless transmission / reception unit 171 provided in the holder 170 and the mobile phone 300 of the player is equal to or less than the distance at which wireless communication is possible. In the present embodiment, if the player's mobile phone 300 is fixed to the holder 170, the distance between the mobile phone 300 and the slot machine 13 is equal to or less than the distance at which wireless communication is possible.

  If it is determined that the cellular phone 300 is not fixed to the holder 170 (NO in step S3), the process proceeds to step S2. On the other hand, when it is determined that the mobile phone 300 is fixed to the holder 170 (YES in step S3), the controller 100 displays the currency selection screen (see FIG. 13) on the display 30 (step S4).

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of the currency selection screen shown in step S4 of FIG. This currency selection screen is displayed on the display 30 and displays the currency type and the monetary value per credit for each currency type stored in the conversion rate table. The player can select the currency type of the monetary value to be converted into credit by pressing the currency type button 201. In this way, the player can determine which currency is converted to credit by viewing the monetary value per credit for each currency type displayed on the currency selection screen.

  Refer to FIG. 10 again. After displaying the currency selection screen (after step S4), the controller 100 determines whether or not a currency has been selected (step S5). Specifically, the controller 100 determines whether or not the currency type button 201 provided on the display 30 is pressed on the currency selection screen (see FIG. 13). If it is determined that no currency has been selected (NO in step S5), this process is repeated until it is determined that a currency has been selected. If it is determined that the currency has been selected (YES in step S5), the controller 100 displays a conversion upper limit input screen (see FIG. 14) (step S6).

  FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of the conversion upper limit value input screen shown in step S6 of FIG. The conversion upper limit input screen is displayed on the display 30, and the player can input the conversion upper limit by pressing the numeric keypad 202 and can determine the conversion upper limit by pressing the enter button 204. The player can clear the input conversion upper limit value by pressing the clear button 203.

  Refer to FIG. 10 again. After displaying the conversion upper limit input screen (after step S6), the controller 100 accepts an input of the conversion upper limit value (step S7). Specifically, the controller 100 receives an input of the conversion upper limit value by pressing the numeric keypad 202 provided on the display 30 on the conversion upper limit value input screen (see FIG. 14).

  Then, the controller 100 determines whether or not a conversion upper limit value has been determined (step S8). Specifically, the controller 100 determines whether or not the determination button 204 provided on the display 30 is pressed on the conversion upper limit input screen (see FIG. 14). If it is determined that the conversion upper limit value has not been determined (NO in step S8), the process proceeds to step S7.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the conversion upper limit value has been determined (YES in step S8), the controller 100 stores the input conversion upper limit value in the RAM 110. Then, the controller 100 displays a credit amount input screen (see FIG. 15) (step S9).

  FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of the credit amount input screen shown in step S9 of FIG. The credit number input screen is displayed on the display 30, and the player can input the credit number by pressing the numeric keypad 202, and can determine the credit number by pressing the conversion determination button 205. Note that the player can clear the input credit number by pressing the clear button 203.

  Refer to FIG. 10 again. After displaying the credit amount input screen (after step S9), the controller 100 accepts an input of the credit amount (step S10). Specifically, the controller 100 receives an input of the number of credits when the numeric keypad 202 provided on the display 30 is pressed on the credit number input screen (see FIG. 15).

  Then, the controller 100 determines whether or not there has been a pressing operation on the conversion determination button (step S11). Specifically, the controller 100 determines whether or not the conversion determination button 205 provided on the display 30 is pressed on the credit amount input screen (see FIG. 15).

  If it is determined that the conversion determination button has not been pressed (NO in step S11), the process proceeds to step S10. On the other hand, when it is determined that the conversion determination button has been pressed (YES in step S11), the controller 100 stores the number of credits accepted in step S10 in the RAM 110.

  Thereafter, the controller 100 calculates a monetary value indicating the amount of credits stored in the RAM 110 (step S12). Specifically, the controller 100 converts the credit number stored in the RAM 110 in step S11 into a monetary value by referring to the conversion rate table (see FIG. 12) stored in the RAM 110 in step S1. For example, in the conversion rate table shown in FIG. 12, since the monetary value per credit of the currency type “yen” is 100 yen, when the determined number of credits is “100”, the monetary value is “10000 yen”. The controller 100 stores monetary value data indicating the calculated monetary value in the RAM 110.

  Next, the controller 100 determines whether or not the monetary value calculated in step S12 is equal to or less than the conversion upper limit value (FIG. 11: step S13). Specifically, the controller 100 determines by comparing the monetary value data stored in the RAM 110 in Step S12 with the conversion upper limit value stored in the RAM 110 in Step S8. If it is determined that the monetary value is not less than or equal to the conversion upper limit value (NO in step S13), the process proceeds to step S10.

  When it is determined that the monetary value is equal to or less than the conversion upper limit value (YES in step S13), the controller 100 makes a transmission request for monetary value data indicating the monetary value calculated in step S12 (step S14). ). At this time, the controller 100 transmits a transmission request signal for the monetary value data to the mobile phone 300 of the player via the wireless transmission / reception unit 171.

  Thereafter, the controller 100 receives monetary value data (step S15). That is, the controller 100 receives the monetary value data requested for transmission in step S14 from the player's mobile phone 300 via the wireless transmission / reception unit 171. After the reception, the controller 100 stores the received monetary value data in the RAM 110.

  Next, the controller 100 converts the received monetary value data into credit number data. Specifically, the controller 100 converts the monetary value data stored in the RAM 110 in step S15 into credit number data by referring to the conversion rate table (see FIG. 12) stored in the RAM 110 in step S1. . For example, in the conversion rate table shown in FIG. 12, since the monetary value per credit of the currency type “yen” is 100 yen, if the monetary value data is “10000 yen”, the credit number data Becomes “100”. The controller 100 stores the converted credit number data in the RAM 110, adds the converted credit number data to the credit number data already stored in the RAM 110, and displays it on the credit number display unit 49.

  Thereafter, the controller 100 executes a basic game (step S17). In the basic game, the controller 100 determines whether or not the start switch 25 has been pressed in a state where a desired number of credits is bet, such as by inserting coins into the coin receiving slot 22. If it is determined that the start switch 25 has been pressed, the controller 100 starts scrolling the symbol indicated by the symbol, and then stops (rearranges) the symbol. The controller 100 then pays out credits based on the symbol stop state.

  Next, the controller 100 determines whether or not the cashout switch 26 is turned on (pressed) (step S18). If it is determined that the cashout switch is not turned on (NO in step S18), the process proceeds to step S17.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the cashout switch 26 is turned on (YES in step S18), the controller 100 executes the adjustment data migration process (step S19). With this settlement data transfer processing, settlement data based on the current number of credits is generated, and settlement data is transmitted to the mobile phone 300. Thereafter, the processes shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 are repeatedly executed until the power of the slot machine 13 is turned off.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing details of the adjustment data migration processing shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, in the adjustment data transfer process, first, the adjustment data type selection screen is displayed (step S20).

  FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating a display example of the adjustment data type selection screen. As shown in FIG. 17, the controller 100 causes the display 30 to display the adjustment data type selection screen. In this type selection screen, there are money settlement buttons 206a to 206c for settlement of the current credit amount with money, and point settlement buttons 207a to 207d for settlement of the current credit amount with points of a specific company or a specific site. Is displayed.

  Specifically, the cash settlement buttons 206a to 206c include a dollar button 206a, a yen button 206b, and a euro button 206c. Below these buttons 206a to 206c, there is displayed a conversion content indicating how much money one credit is to be settled. The point settlement buttons 207a to 207d include a first point button 207a, a second point button 207b, a third point button 207c, and a fourth point button 207d. Below these buttons 207a to 207d, a conversion content indicating how many points one credit is paid out is displayed.

  Reference is again made to FIG. After displaying the adjustment data type selection screen (after step S20), the controller 100 determines whether or not the adjustment data type selection has been completed (step S21). Specifically, the controller 100 determines whether or not any of the buttons 206a to 206c and 207a to 207d displayed on the type selection screen has been pressed.

  If it is determined that the adjustment data type selection has not been completed (NO in step S21), the process proceeds to step S20. On the other hand, when it is determined that the adjustment data type selection has been completed (YES in step S21), the controller 100 generates adjustment data corresponding to the selection result (step S22). That is, the controller 100 generates settlement data according to the current credit number and the type selected on the type selection screen. That is, when the credit number is “100” and the selected type is “dollar”, the controller 100 generates settlement data “$ 85”. In addition, when the number of credits is specifically “100” and the selected type is “mileage point”, the controller 100 generates settlement data “100 points”.

  Thereafter, the controller 100 wirelessly transmits the adjustment data to the mobile phone 300 via the wireless transmission / reception unit 171 (step S23). As a result, settlement is performed using electronic data.

  In this way, in the game system including the slot machine 13 according to the first embodiment, when the player performs a predetermined cashout operation on the operation unit, the settlement data based on the current credit number is generated. Then, the generated settlement data is transmitted to be returned to the mobile phone.

  Thus, since payout according to the number of credits is made with electronic data, payout can be completed only with the mobile phone 300 without using a bulky medium like a coin, and convenience can be improved. .

  Further, when the player performs a predetermined cash-out operation on the operation unit, settlement data of the type selected by the player is generated based on the current number of credits. Then, the generated settlement data is transmitted to be returned to the mobile phone.

  In this way, the payment data is classified by the player (dollar, yen, mileage point, etc.), and the payment data according to the selection is transferred to the mobile phone 300. Therefore, payout is performed according to the player's request, which is convenient. Can be improved.

  Further, since the settlement data is transmitted to the mobile phone 300 by wireless communication, the settlement data can be transferred to the mobile phone 300 by a simple method.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a game system including a slot machine according to a second embodiment of the present invention and a control method for the game system including the slot machine will be described. The second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, but the configuration and processing contents are different. Hereinafter, differences from the first embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 18 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a game system including the slot machine according to the second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 18, the game system according to the second embodiment includes a settlement server 700 connected to a network 600. The settlement server 700 is configured to download settlement data.

  In the present embodiment, the adjustment data is not directly transmitted from the slot machine 13 to the mobile phone 300 but is transferred from the slot machine 13 to the adjustment server 700 via the network 600. After the game ends, the player accesses the settlement server 700 using the mobile phone 300 and receives settlement data from the settlement server 700. For this reason, the settlement server 700 stores a program for generating information for allowing the mobile phone 300 to access the settlement server 700 and downloading the settlement data based on the received settlement data. .

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing details of the adjustment data migration processing according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 19, first, the controller 100 of the slot machine 13 displays the adjustment data type selection screen (see FIG. 17) on the display 30 (step S <b> 30).

Then, the controller 100 transmits the settlement data to the settlement server 700 via the communication interface circuit (transmission unit) 111 (Step S32).

  Thereafter, the settlement server 700, based on the settlement data from the slot machine 13, a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) from which the settlement data can be downloaded, and a password that allows the settlement data to be downloaded by accessing and inputting this URL. Are generated (step S33). Then, the settlement server 700 transmits the URL and password to the slot machine 13 (step S34).

  Then, the slot machine 13 displays the received URL and password on the display 30 (step S35). As a result, the player confirms the displayed URL and password. Thereafter, the player accesses the URL displayed using the mobile phone 300 and inputs the password (step S36). Then, the download of the settlement data from the settlement server 700 to the mobile phone 300 starts (step S37).

  The URL generated by the settlement server 700 may be for accessing the settlement server 700, or may be for accessing another download-dedicated server. When a download-only server is used, payment data for each player and a password assigned to each player are transmitted from the payment server 700 to the download-only server.

  In this way, in the game system including the slot machine 13 according to the second embodiment, payout can be completed using only the mobile phone 300 as in the first embodiment, and convenience can be improved.

  Further, according to the second embodiment, since the downloading of the settlement data is started by inputting the URL and the password, there is no fear that the settlement data is erroneously transmitted to a mobile phone other than the player at the time of wireless transmission. The settlement data can be reliably transferred to the mobile phone 300 of the player.

On the other hand, in the third embodiment, the QR code generated by the settlement server 700 is displayed by the slot machine 13 and the player captures the QR code with the mobile phone 300, whereby the settlement data is downloaded.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing details of the adjustment data migration processing according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 20, first, the controller 100 of the slot machine 13 displays the adjustment data type selection screen (see FIG. 17) on the display 30 (step S40). Next, the controller 100 generates settlement data according to the selected type (step S41). Then, the controller 100 transmits the settlement data to the settlement server 700 via the communication interface circuit (transmission unit) 111 (Step S42).

  Thereafter, the settlement server 700 generates a QR (Quick Response) code in which the settlement data is downloaded by photographing the cellular phone based on the settlement data from the slot machine 13 (step S43). Then, the settlement server 700 transmits QR code image information to the slot machine 13 (step S44). What is generated by the settlement server 700 is not limited to the QR code, but may be other image information as long as the settlement data can be downloaded by photographing with the mobile phone 300.

  Then, the slot machine 13 displays the received QR code on the display 30 (step S45). As a result, the player confirms the displayed QR code. Thereafter, the player captures a QR code displayed using the mobile phone 300 (step S46). Then, the download of the settlement data from the settlement server 700 to the mobile phone 300 starts (step S47).

  Thus, in the game system including the slot machine 13 according to the third embodiment, payout can be completed only by the mobile phone 300 as in the first embodiment, and convenience can be improved.

  Further, according to the third embodiment, since downloading of the adjustment data is started by photographing the QR code, there is no fear that the adjustment data is erroneously transmitted to a mobile phone other than the player at the time of wireless transmission.
