  When the game ball passes through the gate 32 and is detected by the gate switch 32a, the variable display of the normal symbol display 10 is started. In this embodiment, the left and right lamps (the symbols can be visually recognized when lit) are alternately lit to perform variable display. For example, if the left lamp is lit at the end of variable display, it is a win. . When the stop symbol on the normal symbol display 10 is a predetermined symbol (winning symbol), the variable winning ball apparatus 15 is opened for a predetermined time for a predetermined number of times. That is, the state of the variable winning ball device 15 changes from a disadvantageous state to a player's advantageous state when the normal symbol is a winning symbol. In the vicinity of the normal symbol display 10, a normal symbol holding storage display 41 having a display unit with four LEDs for displaying the number of balls passing through the gate 32 is provided. Each time a game ball passes to the gate 32, the normal symbol storage memory display 41 increases the number of LEDs to be turned on by one.

  The game board 6 is provided with a plurality of winning holes 29, 30, 33, 39, and winning of game balls to the winning holes 29, 30, 33, 39 is performed by winning hole switches 29a, 30a, 33a, 39a, respectively. Detected. Each winning opening 29, 30, 33, 39 constitutes a winning area provided in the game board 6 as an area for accepting game balls and allowing winning. The first start winning opening 13, the second starting winning opening 14, and the big winning opening also constitute a winning area that accepts a game ball and allows winning. Decorative lamps 25 flashing and displayed during the game are provided around the left and right of the game area 7 of the game board 6, and there is an out port 26 for taking in a hit ball that has not won a prize.

  In addition, two speakers 27 serving as sound output means in the present invention that utters (outputs) sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 7. On the outer periphery of the game area 7, a top frame lamp 28a, a left frame lamp 28b, and a right frame lamp 28c are provided. Further, a decoration LED is installed around each structure (such as a big prize opening) in the game area 7. The top frame lamp 28a, the left frame lamp 28b, the right frame lamp 28c, and the decorative LED are examples of a decorative light emitter provided in the gaming machine.

  Also, below the left speaker 27 is provided a prize ball LED 51 that is lit while paying out the prize ball, and below the right speaker 27 is provided a ball break LED 52 that is lit when the supply ball is cut. Yes.

  The pachinko machine 1 has a ball striking device (not shown) that drives a drive motor in response to a player operating the ball striking operation handle 5 and uses the rotational force of the drive motor to launch a game ball to the game area 7. Z). A game ball launched from the ball striking device enters the game area 7 through a ball striking rail formed in a circular shape so as to surround the game area 7, and then descends the game area 7. If the game ball enters the first start winning opening 13 or the second start winning opening 14 and is detected by the first start opening switch 13a or the second start opening switch 14a, it is in a state where variable symbol display can be started ( For example, when the big hit game ends or the previous variable display ends), the special symbol display 8 starts the variable display (variation) of the special symbol, and the variable display device 9 starts the variable display of the decorative symbol. If the variable symbol special display cannot be started, the reserved memory number for the special symbol storage memory display 18 is increased by one.

  The variable display of the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 and the decorative symbol on the variable display device 9 stops when a predetermined time has elapsed. When the stop symbol at the time of stoppage becomes a probable change symbol (excluding a sudden probability change symbol described later) or a non-probable change symbol in the big hit symbol, it shifts to a big hit gaming state (probable big hit or non-probable big hit (usually also called big hit)). . That is, the special variable prize-winning device is opened until a predetermined time (for example, 29 seconds) elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls have won the big prize opening. It should be noted that one round in the big hit gaming state is a period from when the special variable winning device is opened until a predetermined period elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, ten) of hitting balls wins the big winning opening. In this embodiment, when the stop symbol is changed to the probable variation symbol or the non-probability variation symbol, the big hit gaming state is continued for 15 rounds. When these big hit states are finished, the variable display device 9 displays and outputs a two-dimensional barcode serving as special access information of the present invention.

  In this embodiment, the special symbol variable display on the special symbol display 8 and the decorative symbol variable display on the variable display device 9 are synchronized. Here, the synchronization means that the variable display period (variable display time) is the same. In addition, the display result on the special symbol display 8 (a special symbol stop symbol) corresponds to the display result on the variable display device 9 (decorative symbol stop symbol). The correspondence between the two symbols will be described later.

  Next, the type of gaming state and the transition of gaming state will be described. First, the probability variation state (probability variation state) refers to a gaming state that is advantageous for a player who has a higher probability of a big hit (that is, a symbol is a big hit symbol) than the normal gaming state and the short-time state.

  Also, the short time state (time shortening state) means that the special symbol variable display time (variation time) of the special symbol on the special symbol display 8 and the variable display device 9 is the normal gaming state and the probability variation state (except the probability variation time short state). It means a gaming state that is shortened. By reducing the variable display time in this manner, the variable display of symbols is frequently executed, and the probability of jackpot per unit time is improved, resulting in an advantageous state for the player. In the short time state, in the normal symbol display 10, the probability that the stop symbol becomes a winning symbol is higher than the normal gaming state and the probability variation state (excluding the probability variation time short state), and the opening time and the release time in the variable winning ball device 15 are increased. One or both of the number of times is increased more than the normal game state and the probability change state (except for the probability change time short state), which is a more advantageous state for the player. Further, in the short time state, the variable symbol display time (variation time) of the normal symbol on the normal symbol display device 10 is shorter than the normal game state and the probable change state (excluding the probable change short time state), which is further advantageous for the player. It becomes a state. In addition, the probability that the stop symbol of the normal symbol becomes a winning symbol is improved, and one or both of the opening time and the number of times of opening in the variable winning ball apparatus 15 are increased, and the variable display time of the normal symbol is reduced. A normal state other than the high base state is called a low base state.

  Here, in the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the gaming state transitions as follows.

  (1) When the normal game state and the short-time state, the probability change symbol (excluding the sudden probability variation symbol) is a big hit, and when the big hit game ends, the game state is shifted from the normal game state and the short-time state to the probability change time-short state. . As a result, the probability that the special symbol and the normal symbol stop symbol become a winning symbol is increased, the variation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened, and the opening time and the number of times of opening in the variable winning ball apparatus 15 are also increased.

  (2) In the probability variation state, the probability variation symbol is a big hit, and when the big hit game is finished, the probability variation time short state is maintained without changing again.

  (3) In the normal game state and the short-time state, a big hit is made with a non-probable variable symbol, and when the big-hit game is ended, the time-short state is controlled by a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 times) after the big hit. That is, when the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the transition from the normal gaming state to the short-time state is made a predetermined number of times of variation, and when the gaming state is the short-time state, the short-time state is continued for a predetermined number of times of variation. At this time, the variation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened, and the opening time and the number of times of opening in the variable winning ball apparatus 15 are increased. Then, when the change of the predetermined number of changes is started, the gaming state is shifted from the short-time state to the normal gaming state.

  (4) When the probability change state and the probability change time short state, a big hit is made with a non-probability variable symbol, and when the big hit game is ended, the time is controlled to a short time state by a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 100 times) after the big hit ends. In other words, the state is shifted from the probability variation state and the probability variation short time state to the short time state by a predetermined number of fluctuations. At this time, the variation time of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened, and the opening time and the number of times of opening in the variable winning ball apparatus 15 are increased. Then, when the change of the predetermined number of changes is started, the gaming state is shifted from the short-time state to the normal gaming state.

The transition of the gaming state as described above is an example, and the present invention is not limited to such a configuration.

  Next, the correspondence relationship between the stop symbol of the special symbol and the stop symbol of the decorative symbol (the outlier symbol of both symbols, the probability variation symbol, the non-probability variation symbol, the sudden probability variation symbol, and the small hit symbol symbol) will be described.

As described above, the special symbols variably displayed on the special symbol display 8 are “0” to “9”. Among these, “0” to “3”, “8”, “9” are outliers, “5”, “7” are probabilistic symbols, and “4”, “6” are non-probable symbols. .

  Further, as described above, the left, middle and right decorative symbols variably displayed on the variable display device 9 are “0” to “9”, respectively. Here, the off-design symbol is a symbol (for example, “358” or the like) in which the left, middle, and right ornament symbols are not aligned with the same symbol. Note that although the left and right decorative symbols are aligned in the same pattern (although it is a reach), the state in which only the decorative symbols in the middle are not aligned is also an outlier.

The big hit symbol of the decorative symbol is a symbol in a state in which the decorative symbols on the left, middle and right are aligned in the same symbol. Specifically, “000”, “111”, “222”, “333”, “444”, “555”, “666”, “777”, “888”, “999”. Among these, the symbols (“111”, “333”, “555”, “777”, “999”) in a state of being arranged with an odd number of decorative symbols are probability variation symbols, and the symbols in a state of being arranged with an even number of decorative symbols (“000”, “222”, “444”, “666”, “888”) are non-probable variables.

  Next, the reach display mode (reach) will be described. The reach display mode (reach) in this embodiment is a variable display (variable display) for decorative symbols that have not yet stopped when the stopped decorative symbols constitute part of the jackpot symbol. And all or part of the decorative symbols are in a state of being variably displayed synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot symbol.

  For example, in the left, right and right display areas of the variable display device 9, the left and right display areas are displayed in a state in which a decorative symbol (for example, “7”) which is a part of the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed. The display area is still in a variable display state, and all or some of the symbols in the display area are synchronously variably displayed while constituting all or part of the jackpot symbol (for example, variable display) The variable display is performed on all of the left, middle, and right display areas in the device 9, and the variable display is always performed in a state where the same symbols are aligned), which is the reach display mode or reach.

  In addition, during the reach, an unusual performance is performed with a lamp or sound. The effect and the reach display mode in the variable display device 9 are called reach effects. Further, in the case of reach, a character (an effect display imitating a person or the like, which is different from a design (decoration design etc.)) or a background display mode (for example, color) of the variable display device 9 is displayed. May be changed.

By entering the “model name” input part searched from and the number of each model type of the pachinko machine listed in the pachinko machine search page, it is stored in the pachinko machine data table corresponding to the model type. There are provided “model type” input sections for displaying a list of models that have been registered, and the player can enter a search condition such as “△△△” as part of the model name in these input sections. After entering the “model name” input section, the “search” item provided on the page is selected.

  Based on the selection, the site server 116 specifies that the text (character string) input to the input unit of “model name” is “ΔΔΔ”, and the specified text (character string) “ΔΔΔ”. ”Is searched from the pachinko machine data table, all the lists are extracted, the list of model names extracted is included, and the model name can be selected and operated as shown in FIG. Generate a model search result page and distribute it.

  When the pachinko machine search result page includes the name of the pachinko machine to be searched, the player selects the model name of the pachinko machine to be searched, for example, “CR △△△” In response to the selected model name “CRΔΔΔ” (corresponding to model D), it is specified from the data stored in the pachinko machine data table and the path data to the machine image data. The model information page distribution process in which the model information page shown in FIG. 12F including the base image data is generated and distributed by the site server 116 is performed. If there is no model name of the pachinko machine to be searched on the pachinko machine search result page, the item “to the corner TOP” provided at the bottom of the page is selected, so that FIG. The search menu selection page of c) is distributed again and the search menu selection page is returned to, so that other search methods can be selected. By selecting the item “to TOP”, the search menu selection page shown in FIG. The member top page (same as FIG. 11 (a)) is distributed again so that it can return to the member top page, and these “to corner TOP” and “to TOP” are other pages. Are also provided in the same manner, and by selecting these items, it is possible to shift to the same page.

  In other words, in the model information page distribution process performed by the CPU 182 of the present embodiment using the processing program, the provided information is stored in advance in accordance with access (optional access) by login from the mobile phone 400 via the Internet network 119. The provision information distribution means in the present invention is formed by the CPU 182 that executes the model information page distribution process by generating and distributing a model information page including certain model information.

  In the above-mentioned search menu selection page, for example, when the player selects the item “(2) Pachislot machine type search”, it is the same as the pachinko machine type search page, and the search condition includes all model names or By inputting a part, a model including the input name is searched from the pachislot base data table, a “model name” input unit, and each slot machine listed in the pachislot model search page There is a "model type" input section that displays a list of models stored in the pachislot base data table corresponding to the model type by entering the model type number. The search is performed based on the input search conditions, and a pachislot machine model search result page similar to the pachinko machine model search result page shown in FIG. A list of model names of the searched pachislot machines is displayed so that it can be selected, and by selecting a model name to be searched from the model name list, a model information page for the selected model name is generated and distributed. The

  In addition, when the player selects, for example, the item “(3) Simple model search” on the search menu selection page described above, an input unit of “model type” on the pachinko machine search page or the pachislot machine search page. A simple model search page (not shown) having only a “model name” input section that does not have an ID is distributed, and at least one of the model names of gaming machines to be searched is input to the “model name” input section of the simple model search page. By inputting a part, a simple model search result page similar to the pachinko machine search result page shown in FIG. 12 (e) described above, in which a corresponding model is searched and displayed, is distributed. By selecting a model name to be searched from the page model name list, a model information page of the selected model name is generated and distributed.

  When the delivery of these model information pages is received, the control unit 455 of the mobile phone 400 adds the model ID of the model corresponding to the model information page added to the HTML data of the model page, Stored in the primary access information table is an encrypted URL for performing special access to receive provision of content provided by the model, which is decompressed by the decryption key included in the two-dimensional barcode output from the model's pachinko machine 1 The first access information table update process is performed.

  That is, in the first access information table update process performed by the control unit 455 of the present embodiment based on the control program, the primary access (arbitrary access) to the site server 116 serving as the service providing apparatus of the present invention is performed. The first access information is a model ID that can identify that the primary access has been performed and is model identification information that can identify the model corresponding to the model information provided from the site server 116 according to the primary access. The arbitrary access information storage means in the present invention is constituted by the control unit 455 that stores the table and executes the first access information table update processing.

  Thus, for example, the player can access the site and acquire the model information of the model he / she wants to play at the game hall on that day, that is, the model information of the model he is interested in.

  In this way, when a player plays a pachinko machine 1 of a model for which model information has been acquired in advance, after the big hit is generated by the game, the pachinko machine 1 As shown in FIG. 2, the two-dimensional barcode is displayed on the variable display device 9.

  Specifically, the production control microcomputer mounted on the production control board 80 of the pachinko machine 1 performs a two-dimensional barcode generation process to generate a two-dimensional barcode that is displayed on the variable display device 9. .

  In the two-dimensional barcode generation process of this embodiment, the production control microcomputer uses the time stamp data composed of the time information output from the RTC 81, the model ID of the pachinko machine 1, and the encryption for special access. A two-dimensional barcode encoded with decryption key data for decompressing the encrypted URL is generated, and the generated two-dimensional barcode is variably displayed for a predetermined time at the end of the jackpot end effect. 9 is displayed.

  That is, the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment displays and outputs a two-dimensional barcode serving as special access information in the present invention on the variable display device 9 in accordance with the end of the big hit state where the predetermined condition is satisfied.

  In response to the display of the two-dimensional barcode, the player captures the two-dimensional barcode by imaging the displayed two-dimensional barcode with an imaging unit 465 mounted on the mobile phone 400, as shown in FIG. Read (input) barcode.

  The image of the two-dimensional barcode imaged in this way by the imaging unit 465 is output to the control unit 455 (CPU), and the control unit 455 (CPU) executes the decoding program stored in the memory unit 460. By doing so, the time stamp data encoded in the two-dimensional barcode, the model ID, and the decryption key are decrypted.

  That is, the mobile phone 400 of the present embodiment becomes the special access information in the present invention that is displayed in response to the end of the big hit state in which a predetermined condition is satisfied from the pachinko machine 1 (game machine) that the player can play. An imaging unit 465 for inputting a dimensional barcode is provided, and the imaging unit 465 forms special access information input means in the present invention.

  The two-dimensional bar code of this embodiment has a specific plug-in that has been downloaded in advance when registering as a member when accessing the site using the special access URL based on the encrypted URL that is decompressed with the decrypted decryption key. Activation data indicating that the module program is used is also encoded, and by decoding these activation data, a specific form of HTTP request by using the specific plug-in module program, specifically, HTTP request including data of model ID decoded from two-dimensional bar code, number of service provided times corresponding to the model ID stored in the secondary access information table, number of service provided models, and site member ID Is sent to the site server 116 to perform special access. .

  That is, the control unit 455 (CPU) that has decoded the two-dimensional barcode accesses the site in a form in which a specific plug-in module program is enabled based on the activation data included in the decoded data of the two-dimensional barcode. In addition to the site member ID and model ID, the browser includes a special access URL that is decompressed with the decryption key included in the decryption data, and a function by executing a specific plug-in module program. An HTTP request including the number of service provided models (number of implementations) and the number of service provided models counted in the second access information table constituting the service providing model number counting means and the counting means in the present invention is generated in the site server 116. Sent.

  Further, based on the specific plug-in module program of the present embodiment, the control unit 455 (CPU) is first included in the decoded data of the two-dimensional barcode prior to performing the special access by transmitting the HTTP request in the specific form. A determination process for determining whether or not the model ID is stored in the first access information table is performed (see FIG. 9).

  That is, in the determination process performed by the control unit 455 of the present embodiment based on the plug-in module program, the input of a two-dimensional barcode (special access information) to the imaging unit 465 serving as a special access information input unit is a condition. In the present invention, it is determined whether or not a model ID that is arbitrary access information is stored in the first access information table serving as the arbitrary access information storage means in the present invention, and the control unit 455 that performs the determination processing in the present invention A determination means is formed.

  If the model ID is not stored in the first access information table in this determination, a guide page downloaded in advance from the site server 116 and stored in the memory unit 460, specifically, an arbitrary one of the present invention This includes the URL of the login page for access, and the provision of the content provided by special access, including that it is necessary to access the URL and browse the model information of the model of the pachinko machine 1 that is playing A guide page serving as guide information in the invention is displayed on the display unit 456.

  In other words, the display unit 456 according to the present embodiment provides the provided content based on the determination that the model ID that is the arbitrary access information according to the present invention is not stored in the first access information table by the determination process. Displays a guide page (guide information) indicating that access to the URL of the site server 116 (optional access) is necessary, and the display unit 456 forms guide information display means in the present invention.

  On the other hand, when the model ID is stored in the first access information table in the determination, the time stamp data included in the decoded data of the two-dimensional barcode is stored in the last provided ID of the second access information table. A last provided ID determination process is performed to determine whether the data is the same as the data.

  Then, in the case where it is a determination result that both data are the same in the previous provided ID determination process, the control unit 455 uses the decoded data of the two-dimensional barcode displayed on the variable display device 9 in duplicate. It is determined that the access is a duplicate access, the process is interrupted without performing a special access, and an error page (not shown) including the fact that the access is a duplicate access is displayed on the display unit 456, while the determination is that both data are not the same. If it is a result, after the time stamp data included in the decoded data of the two-dimensional barcode is updated and stored in the previous provided ID, the HTTP request transmission process for transmitting the HTTP request in the specific form described above is performed, and the site Special access to server 116 is implemented.

  That is, in the HTTP request transmission process performed by the control unit 455 of the present embodiment based on the plug-in module program, the model ID that is arbitrary access information is stored in the first access information table by the determination process (determination unit). The special access identification included in the 2D barcode that has already been specially accessed and the time stamp data (special access identification information) included in the 2D barcode (special access information) Special access is made to the site server 116 (service providing apparatus) on the condition that it differs from the time stamp data stored in the previously provided ID of the second access information table, which is information, and the HTTP request is transmitted The control unit 455 for executing the processing is a special feature in the present invention. Access executing means is formed.

  The site server 116 (CPU 182) performs a request analysis process for analyzing the received HTTP request in response to reception of the HTTP request in a specific form by this special access, and the site member ID, model ID, service specified by the analysis The number of times to be provided and the number of service provided models are extracted.

  Based on whether or not the site member ID extracted in the request analysis process exists in the site member information table, it is determined whether or not the player who has made a special access is a player registered as a member on the site. judge.

  In this determination, if the site member ID does not exist, for example, if the site server 116 has once registered for the site member and then has not been registered as a member due to withdrawal, the service is provided by special access. The member registration is performed on the site, and the member registration guide page including the fact that it is necessary to browse the model information of the model that is playing and the top page URL of the member registration on the site is distributed, and the mobile phone 400 Prompts the player to register as a member by displaying the distributed member registration guide page.

  On the other hand, if the site member ID exists in the site member information table in the determination, that is, if the player who has made special access is registered as a member in the site, it is extracted from the received HTTP request by the request analysis process described above. Based on the model specified from the model ID, the number of times the service is provided, and the provided content specifying data (FIG. 8B), the provided content specifying process for specifying the type of content that is the provided service is performed. .

  Specifically, in the provided content specifying process according to the present embodiment, the content type corresponding to the service provided number extracted from the received HTTP request is specified based on the provided content specifying data (see FIG. 8B). To do. For example, if the service provided count is 1, the standby content b of the model is specified as the provided content.

  Then, the provided content specified in the provided content specifying process, for example, the file of the standby content b of the model is read from the storage device 184 and distributed to the mobile phone 400 of the player. The distributed standby content b is displayed on the mobile phone 400.

  After distributing the provided content, the site server 116 (CPU 182) reaches the value of each item of the present gift data shown in FIG. In the case where it has been reached, the player is notified that it is possible to apply for a present gift corresponding to the reached value, and a service providing email is provided for applying for the present gift. Then, a service providing mail transmission process is performed for transmitting to the e-mail address of the player, that is, the e-mail address stored in the site member information table corresponding to the site member ID extracted in the request analysis process. .

  When the player who has received the service providing mail in this way wants a present gift, the player can receive the present gift by sending a reply mail in which information such as a delivery destination described in the service providing mail is input. Application can be easily implemented, and it will be possible to receive a service of providing gifts.

  That is, in the provided content distribution process and the service providing mail transmission process performed by the CPU 182 of the present embodiment based on the processing program, the special access information is provided according to the special access from the mobile phone 400 via the Internet network 119. The provided content (predetermined service) corresponding to the model ID included in the two-dimensional barcode is provided, and the service providing means in the present invention is executed by the CPU 182 that performs the provided content distribution process and the service provided mail transmission process. Is formed.

  On the other hand, the control unit 455 of the mobile phone 400 that has received the provided content displays the provided content transmitted from the site server 116 on the display unit 456 and includes the model ID included in the HTTP request transmitted at the time of the special access. That is, if the model ID included in the decoded data of the two-dimensional barcode acquired from the pachinko machine 1 is already stored in the second access information table, the second access information corresponding to the model ID If 1 is added to the service provision count in the table and the model ID is not yet stored in the second access information table, the model ID is newly stored and the corresponding service provision count is set to “ The second access information table that is changed from “0” to “1” and is updated by adding 1 to the number of service provided models To perform the update process.

  That is, in the second access information table update process performed by the control unit 455 of the present embodiment based on the plug-in module program, the two-dimensional barcode (special access) to the imaging unit 465 serving as the special access information input unit in the present invention. Information), the number of models identified from the model ID (model identification information) included in the two-dimensional barcode (special access information), that is, provided by the provided content distribution process in the site server 116 The number of service provided models, which is the number of models supported by the provided content, is counted (aggregated) and includes different time stamp data (special access identification information) input to the imaging unit 465 (the special access information input unit). Special access based on 2D barcode (special access information) As a result, the number of times of service provision (number of implementations), which is the number of times the provided content (predetermined service) is provided for each model, is counted (aggregated), and the second access information table update process is performed. The control unit 455 forms the service providing model number counting means and the counting means in the present invention.

  In the present embodiment, the update of the service provided number and the service provided model number are performed when the provided content is actually provided, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead of updating the number of service deliverables and the number of service served models before sending an HTTP request by special access, the number of service served times and the number of service served models after the update are updated. The corresponding provided content may be provided from the site server 116, and the service provided count included in the HTTP request is stored in the service provided count corresponding to the model ID in the second access information table. 1 is added to the number of times the content is added, and further, in the above-mentioned provided content specifying process in the site server 116 , Based on the number of times obtained by adding 1 to the service to be provided number extracted from the received HTTP request, it may be specified to provide content.

  In this case, the cellular phone 400 counts the number of times of input of different time stamp data (special access identification information), transmits an HTTP request including the counted number of times of input to the site server 116, and performs special access. 116 provides a predetermined service according to the number of times of input.

  Specifically, the mobile phone 400 receives a two-dimensional barcode including different time stamp data instead of the service provided count in FIG. 4C that is counted up when the provided content is provided. In addition, a special access input count area for counting the number of inputs is provided in the memory unit 460, and the time stamp data (special access identification information) included in the input two-dimensional barcode and the previous provision of FIG. When it is determined that the time stamp data stored in the ID does not match, the special access input count is counted up (counted), and the special access based on the input two-dimensional barcode is counted up. The site server 116 transmits the HTTP request including the number of completed special access inputs. Providing a predetermined service according to the access number of inputs.

  In addition, when using numerical values of 1 to 50 as described later instead of these time stamp data, all numerical values stored in the mobile phone 400 and numerical values included in the input two-dimensional barcode are The number of special access inputs may be counted up (counted) on the condition that they are different.

  That is, the mobile phone 400 (mobile terminal) acquires (inputs) a two-dimensional barcode (special access information), and the special access identification information (time stamp data, numerical value) included in the two-dimensional barcode is different ( The number of special access inputs is counted on condition that the special access information is different.

  Further, in this case, the mobile phone 400 counts the number of models that are the number of input of a two-dimensional barcode including different model IDs (model identification information), and transmits an HTTP request including the counted model number to the site server 116. Then, the special access is performed, and the site server 116 provides a predetermined service according to the number of models.

  Specifically, the mobile phone 400 replaces the number of service provided models in FIG. 4 (c) counted up when the service provided number is updated from 0 to 1 in response to the provision of the provided content. All model IDs (model identification information) included in the two-dimensional barcode input until now are stored, and when a new two-dimensional barcode is input, it is included in the two-dimensional barcode. The number of models is counted up (counted) based on the determination that the model ID is different from the model ID already stored, and in the special access based on the input two-dimensional barcode, the number has been counted up. The site server 116 provides a predetermined service according to the received number of models.

  That is, the mobile phone 400 (mobile terminal) acquires (inputs) a two-dimensional barcode (special access information), and further acquires (inputs) a model ID (model identification information) included in the two-dimensional barcode. The number of models is counted on condition that it is different from the model ID included in the two-dimensional barcode.

  Next, a new model registration process performed by the site server 116 when registering model information of a new model at the site of this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  Note that the model information of these new models is implemented by uploading the model information of the new models from a management computer (not shown) installed in the gaming machine manufacturer that operates the site server 116.

  First, when the management computer performs an upload operation of model information of a new model, the site server 116 first accepts (receives) file data of the model information of the new model (S1), and then accepts it. The file data of the received model information of the new model is stored in the storage device 184.

  Then, the process proceeds to step S3, where it is determined whether or not the type of the new model received (received) is pachinko. If the type is pachinko, the model ID of each new model and each unit data, While storing the path data to the table image data file and the like and updating the pachinko table data table (FIG. 7A) (S4), if the type is not a pachinko but a slot machine, the new data The model ID of each model, each unit data, the path data to the table image data file, etc. are stored, and the pachislot table data table (FIG. 7B) is updated (S5).

  Then, the process proceeds to step S6, and a new model registration notification e-mail for notifying a player registered as a member of the site by e-mail that the model information of the new model has been registered and the site has been updated. Perform transmission processing.

  Specifically, in the new model registration notification email transmission process of the present embodiment, a new model registration notification email including main information such as the model name and type of the model newly registered on the site, and the base image is generated. The generated new model registration notification e-mail is transmitted to the e-mail address of each site member registered in the site member information table.

  That is, in the new model registration notification mail transmission process performed by the CPU 182 of the present embodiment based on the processing program, the electronic mail according to the present invention is added in response to the addition of the model information of the new model as provided information to the site. A new model registration notification mail (update mail) for notifying that new model information has been added is transmitted to the e-mail address stored in the site member information table serving as the address storage means. The update mail transmission means in the present invention is formed by the CPU 182 that executes the model registration notification mail transmission processing.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the model ID included in the two-dimensional barcode acquired from the pachinko machine 1 as the first access information (arbitrary access information) in the first access information table (arbitrary access information storage unit) When the same model ID is stored, various provided contents, which are predetermined services, are provided, so that the player becomes special access information in order to receive provision of various provided contents. Since it is necessary to arbitrarily access the site server 116 before the special access by acquiring the two-dimensional barcode, it is possible to motivate the arbitrary access to the site server 116 and to arbitrarily In order for the accessing person to receive various provided contents (predetermined services) Since it is necessary to acquire a two-dimensional bar code (special access information) by executing a game in a certain pachinko machine 1, a synergy that allows the player to be motivated to actually play the game in the pachinko machine 1. An effect can be obtained.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, since a guide page serving as guide information is displayed on the display unit 456 of the mobile phone 400, a player who has performed special access without any access, for example, for providing a predetermined service Provides primary access to the site (site server 116) by providing a guide page for a player who does not know that the site server 116 needs to be arbitrarily accessed or a player who does not know the existence of the site (site server 116). Since (arbitrary access) can be performed, the number of primary accesses (arbitrary access) to the site (site server 116) can be further increased.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, a two-dimensional barcode (special access information) can be obtained by executing a game with a model corresponding to the model information provided in advance at the site (site server 116) by performing a primary access. When the special access is acquired and the content (predetermined service) corresponding to the model is provided, the player is motivated to play more models. Can be implemented.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, a new model registration notification e-mail is transmitted to the site member, so that the player can be quickly notified that the model information of the new model has been added. Players will be able to receive the model information of the new model on the site in advance before acquiring the two-dimensional bar code, which is special access information, from the new model of the gaming machine. The provided content (predetermined service) corresponding to the new model can be received.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, in order to provide a predetermined service according to the number of models counted in the number of service provided models in the second access information table, specifically, a present prize according to the number of models. Since the service providing mail is transmitted, the player can be motivated to play more models.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, provided content (service) according to the number of times of service provided in the second access information table, that is, the number of times of special access by obtaining a two-dimensional barcode (special access information) is provided. As a result, the player can be motivated to play repeatedly in the pachinko machine 1.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the embodiment, the data such as the model ID in the first access information table is checked for the last update date when the data in the first access information table is updated, and the date of the update date and time is the date at that time. Is not the same, the first access information erasing process for resetting all the data in the first access information table is performed, so that the model ID that becomes the arbitrary access information in the first access information table is stored on the same day. Since the first access information erasure process is effective without being executed, if the model information of the model being played is viewed once a day, the two-dimensional bar from the pachinko machine 1 of that model will be displayed on that day. The code can be repeatedly acquired and special access can be performed to provide the provided content. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The storage of the model ID as the arbitrary access information is deleted on condition that the HTTP request including the model ID is transmitted to the site server 116 for special access. The first access information erasing process may be performed, and by doing so, every time the special access is performed, that is, every time the content provided by the special access (predetermined service) is provided, the site is accessed. Since it is necessary to access and browse the model information, the number of accesses to the site can be increased.

  That is, in the embodiment in which the first access information erasure process is performed every time the special access is performed, the mobile phone 400 (the control unit 455) performs the provided content distribution process serving as a service providing unit in the present invention by performing the special access. Thus, on the condition that the provided content (predetermined service) has been provided, the determination in the determination process performed by the control unit 455 serving as a determination unit according to the present invention accompanying the provision of the provided content (predetermined service) In the first access information table of the model ID that is the arbitrary access information that is the target of the access, the control unit 455 that deletes the storage in the first access information table so that it is regarded as having not been present, The arbitrary access information invalidation means in claim 6 is formed.

  Further, in the embodiment and the form in which the first access information erasing process is performed, the target model ID is erased as a process for assuming that there is no arbitrary access information. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The process of storing flag data indicating that a predetermined service has been provided by special access based on the storage of each model ID, which is optional access information, for each model ID is optional. It may be implemented as a process that considers that there is no access information, and the form of the process that assumes that there is no arbitrary access information may be selected as appropriate according to the storage form of the arbitrary access information. .

  Moreover, in the said Example, the mobile telephone 400 acquires encryption URL from the site server 116, and illustrates the form which acquires the decoding key for decoding encryption URL from the pachinko machine 1 (game machine). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and conversely, a decryption key for each model is acquired from the site server 116, and a two-dimensional barcode including an encrypted URL is obtained from the pachinko machine 1 (game machine). It is good also as a form which acquires. In this case, the decryption key for each model acquired from the site server 116 corresponds to the arbitrary access information in claims 1, 8, 9, and 10. That is, the decryption key is stored and special access is performed on the condition that the encrypted URL is decrypted.

  In the above-described embodiment, the decryption key is included in the two-dimensional barcode. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the two-dimensional barcode is included in the two-dimensional barcode as in the conventional example described above. A two-dimensional bar that includes URL data for performing special access, and that is displayed and output on the pachinko machine 1 of the model corresponding to the model information page, as HTML data of model information by arbitrary access by logging in to the site server 116 The license data may be included so as to permit access to the URL included in the code, and the special access may be performed on condition that there is storage of license data corresponding to each model.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the model ID and the encrypted URL added to the HTML data of the model information page by browsing the model information page in the access by login to the site that is an arbitrary access in the present invention. Are stored as arbitrary access information in the primary access information table, but the present invention is not limited to this, and login to the site is performed without managing the presence or absence of these arbitrary accesses for each model. If it is carried out, it is assumed that there was an arbitrary access, a flag and history indicating that there was an arbitrary access is stored, and when the special access is performed by acquiring a two-dimensional barcode as special access information, the acquired Regardless of whether or not the model ID included in the two-dimensional barcode is stored, optional access by logging in to the site is possible. Mobile phone 400 when there is a memory indicating flags and history there was a scan may be carried out special access.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the pachinko machine 1 which displays and outputs the two-dimensional barcode which is special access information is mainly illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, The patent document 1 mentioned above As shown in FIG. 2, the two-dimensional bar code may be displayed on the slot machine 600, and the gaming machine is not the pachinko machine 1 or the slot machine 600 installed in the game hall. In a game machine or the like installed in a game center or the like, these two-dimensional barcodes may be displayed to provide content corresponding to the game machine.

  In the embodiment, in order to identify individual two-dimensional bar codes, the RTC 81 is mounted on the effect control board 80, and the time stamp data based on the time information at that time is used as the special access identification information. The present invention is not limited to this, and the special access identification information may be any information as long as each two-dimensional barcode can be identified. For example, the gaming machine has a numerical value of 1 to 50, One numerical value that is not the numerical value used for the two-dimensional barcode in the previous time may be selected and used as the special access identification information. In this case, not only the numerical value acquired from the pachinko machine 1 last time as in the above embodiment, but also all the numerical values included in the acquired two-dimensional barcode are stored.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, it is also one of the conditions for providing the service that the player is a member of the site at the time of special access. Therefore, the mobile phone 400 transmits an HTTP request including the site member ID at the time of special access. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and at the time of these special accesses, the site server 116 transmits a login page for special access to the mobile phone 400, and the site member ID and password are sent from the player. You may be allowed to obtain the site member ID and password, and if it is not a condition for providing the service that you are a member of these sites, enter the site member ID for special access. You may make it transmit the HTTP request which is not included.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the mobile phone 400 (the control unit 455) provides the provided content by the special access using the two-dimensional barcode acquired from the pachinko machine 1 by executing the previously provided ID determination process at the time of the special access. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is included in the acquired two-dimensional barcode without performing the previously provided ID determination process. Even if the current time stamp data is the same as the time stamp data stored in the last provided ID, the special access is performed to provide the provided content, and the service provided count is counted (counted). May be.

  In the embodiment, provided content corresponding to the model of the pachinko machine 1 that acquired the two-dimensional barcode serving as the special access information is provided as the provided content provided in the special access. The invention is not limited to this, and as the content to be provided, a common provided content may be provided regardless of the model from which these two-dimensional barcodes are acquired.

  In the embodiment, the new model registration notification email transmission process is performed to transmit the new model registration notification email to the player who is a member of the site. However, the present invention is not limited to this. However, the new model registration notification mail may not be transmitted.
