  Connected to the CPU 41 are a clock pulse generation circuit 144 and a frequency divider 145 for generating a reference clock pulse, and a random number generator 146 and a sampling circuit 147 for generating a random number to be sampled. The random number generator 146 generates random numbers belonging to a certain numerical range. The sampling circuit 147 samples one random number at an appropriate timing after the start lever 6 is operated. The CPU 41 determines an internal winning combination based on the random numbers sampled by the random number generator 146 and the sampling circuit 147 and the probability lottery table stored in the ROM 42.

  As a means for random number sampling, the random number sampling may be executed in the microcomputer 40, that is, on the operation program of the CPU 41. In that case, the random number generator 146 and the sampling circuit 147 can be omitted, or can be left as a backup for the random number sampling operation.

  Various information is temporarily stored in the RAM 43 of the main control circuit 81. For example, the game state, the number of medals inserted in one game, the number of medals paid out in one game, and the like are stored.

  On the other hand, the ROM 42 of the main control circuit 81 stores the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R according to the operation of the probability lottery table and the stop button that are used for determination of random number sampling that is performed every time the start lever 6 is operated (start operation). Various data tables such as a stop table group for determining a stop mode, various control commands (commands) for transmission to the sub control circuit 82, and the like are stored. The ROM 42 stores programs for executing processing routines such as a main routine described later.

A lamp 24, a game start display lamp 25, a decoration lamp 93), various display units (payout number display unit 18, medal storage number display unit 19, and accessory operation number display unit 20), a medal, and a hopper drive circuit. There are a hopper (including a payout driving unit) 50 for paying out a predetermined number of medals according to a command of 51, and stepping motors 59L, 59C, 59R for rotationally driving the rotary reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  Further, a motor drive circuit 49 for driving and controlling the stepping motors 59L, 59C and 59R, a hopper drive circuit 51 for driving and controlling the hopper 50, a lamp driving circuit 55 for driving and controlling various lamps, and a display for driving and controlling various display units. The unit drive circuit 58 is connected to the output unit of the CPU 41 via the I / O port 48. Each of these drive circuits receives a control signal such as a drive command output from the CPU 41, and controls the operation of each actuator.

  The main input signal generators for generating input signals necessary for the microcomputer 40 to generate control commands include a start switch 6S, a 1-BET switch 11, a maximum BET switch 13, a stored medal settlement switch 14, There are an inserted medal sensor 22S, a reset switch 62, a setting key type switch 63, a reel stop signal circuit 56, a reel position detection circuit 60, and a payout completion signal circuit 61. These are also connected to the CPU 41 via the I / O port 48. The setting key type switch 63 allows a setting value to be changed by inserting a predetermined key into the keyhole and turning it to the left or right.

  The start switch 6S detects the operation of the start lever 6. The inserted medal sensor 22 </ b> S detects a medal inserted into the medal slot 22. The reel stop signal circuit 56 generates a stop signal in response to the operation of each stop button 7L, 7C, 7R. The voice input button 26 and the voice output button 27 can perform input of sound from the microphone 44, output to the speakers 21L and 21R, and the like by these operations. By operating the voice input button 26, the player can input sound from the outside. Further, the player can output a predetermined sound from the speakers 21L and 21R by operating the audio output button 27. The inserted medal sensor 22 </ b> S detects a medal inserted into the medal slot 22. The reel stop signal circuit 56 generates a stop signal in response to the operation of each stop button 7L, 7C, 7R. The reel position detection circuit 47 receives the pulse signal from the reel rotation sensor and supplies a signal for detecting the position of each reel 3L, 3C, 3R to the CPU 41. The payout completion signal circuit 61 generates a signal for detecting the completion of medal payout when the count value of the medal detection unit 50S (the number of medals paid out from the hopper 50) reaches the designated number data.

  The reel position detection circuit 60 receives the pulse signal from the reel rotation sensor and transmits a signal for detecting the position of each of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R to the CPU 41. The payout completion signal circuit 61 generates a medal payout completion signal when the count value of the medal detection unit 50S (the number of medals paid out from the hopper 50) reaches a designated number. When the CPU 41 receives this medal payout completion signal, the driving of the hopper 50 is stopped via the hopper drive circuit 51 to complete the payout of medals. The medal detection unit 50S includes a medal sensor including a physical sensor for detecting medals paid out from the hopper 50, and can count the number of medals paid out by the medal sensor.

  In the circuit shown in FIG. 5, the random number generator 146 generates a random number belonging to a certain numerical range, and the sampling circuit 147 samples one random number at an appropriate timing after the start lever 6 is operated. . Based on the random numbers sampled in this way and the probability lottery table stored in the ROM 42, an internal winning combination is determined. After the internal winning combination is determined, random number sampling is performed again to select the “stop control table”.

  After the rotation of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the number of drive pulses supplied to each of the stepping motors 59L, 59C, 59R is counted, and the counted value is written in a predetermined area of the RAM 43. From the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R, reset pulses are obtained for each rotation, and these pulses are input to the CPU 41 via the reel position detection circuit 60. The count value of the drive pulse counted in the RAM 43 is cleared to “0” by the reset pulse thus obtained. As a result, the count value corresponding to the rotation position within one rotation range is stored in the RAM 43 for each of the rotation reels 3L, 3C, and 3R.

  A symbol table is stored in the ROM 42 in order to associate the rotational positions of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, and 3R as described above with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel. In this symbol table, with reference to the rotational position at which the reset pulse is generated as described above, the code numbers sequentially given for each fixed rotation pitch of each rotary reel 3L, 3C, 3R, and the corresponding code number A symbol code indicating the symbol provided is associated with the symbol.

  Furthermore, a winning symbol combination table is stored in the ROM 42. In this winning symbol combination table, a winning symbol combination, a winning medal dividend number, and a winning determination code representing the winning are associated with each other. The winning symbol combination table is referred to when the left rotating reel 3L, the central rotating reel 3C, and the right rotating reel 3R are controlled to stop and when winning confirmation after all reels are stopped.

  When internal winning is performed by lottery processing (probability lottery processing) based on the random number sampling, the CPU 41 receives an operation signal sent from the reel stop signal circuit 56 at a timing when the player operates the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R, and Then, based on the selected “stop control table”, a signal for stopping the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is sent to the motor drive circuit 49.

<Game state>
Next, the gaming state of the pachislot machine 1 will be described. The gaming machine pachislot 1 causes four types of game states to appear: “general game state”, “internal winning state”, “RB game state”, and “BB general game state”. Each of these “four types” of game states basically includes the types of roles that may be won internally, the probability of internally winning replays, the types of bonuses that can be established, and internal winnings. It is distinguished by the relationship with winning a prize.

  In the “general game state”, a game in which an expected value of a so-called “call rate” (a game value given to a player with respect to a unit game value bet on a game) is smaller than “1”. The game state is the most disadvantageous for the player as compared to other game states.

  “Internal winning state” occurs when “BB” or “RB” is won internally and “BB or RB” is not won in “General gaming state”, and basically corresponds to BB or RB over one or more games. This is a gaming state in which the symbol combinations to be performed are allowed to line up along the winning line. When BB and RB are internally won in the “general gaming state”, the internal winning combination is set as a carryover combination and is carried over to the subsequent games. Here, the carry-over of the internal winning combination means that the BB and RB can be won even if the BB and RB are not internally won in the next and subsequent games. Specifically, in the internal winning state, BB and RB are not internally won, but when the internal winning combination is “losing”, BB and RB can be won.

  The “BB general gaming state” occurs when the player wins the BB and wins the BB in the “general gaming state” or the “internal winning state”. The BB winning is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-red 7” or “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” along the active line in the “general gaming state” or the “internal winning state”. The “BB general gaming state” ends when 30 small-games or 3 RBs (regular bonus) are consumed. The “BB general gaming state” may be ended when the payout of a predetermined number of medals is completed.

  The “RB gaming state” has a higher expected value of the payout rate than the “general gaming state”, and is the most advantageous gaming state for the player as compared to other gaming states. The “RB gaming state” is generated when an RB (regular bonus) is won in the “general gaming state”, “internal winning state”, or “BB general gaming state”. The RB winning is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-blue 7” along the active line in “general gaming state”, “internal winning state” or “BB general gaming state”. The establishment of RB winning in the “BB general gaming state” is generally referred to as “JACIN”, and the subsequent game is referred to as “JAC game”. The transition between the game states is performed when a combination of bonus symbols is displayed on the winning line.

<Pattern combination and number of payouts>
Next, a description will be given of the relationship between the gaming state, the symbol combination indicating the winning, and the number of medals paid out. In the general gaming state and the internal winning state, "BB", "RB", "Replay", "Watermelon Minor", "Bell Minor" and "Cherry Minor" are awarded. there is a possibility. “BB” is established by arranging “blue 7-blue 7-blue 7” or “red 7-red 7-red 7” along the active line. “RB” is established by arranging “red 7-red 7-blue 7” along the active line. The number of medals to be paid out at this time is “0”. Further, “replay” is established by arranging “Replay-Replay-Replay”. When a re-game winning is established, the same number of medals as the number of inserted medals are automatically inserted, so that the player can play the next game without consuming the medals. In the case of a watermelon small part, a bell small part, and a cherry small part, six, ten, and six medals are paid out, respectively.

  In the BB general gaming state, there is a possibility of winning a prize for RB, replay (riblay), watermelon small part, bell small part, cherry small part. In the BB general gaming state, there is no case where a BB is won. In the RB gaming state, there is a possibility of winning a watermelon small part, a bell small part, or a cherry small part. In the case of a watermelon small part, a bell small part, and a cherry small part, six, ten, and six medals are paid out, respectively. Further, in the RB gaming state, there is no case where “BB”, “RB” and “replay (replay)” are won.

(Step S124). That is, the CPU 41 determines whether or not an input signal from the start switch 6S has been received.

  When determining in step S124 that the start lever 6 has not been operated (step 124: NO), the CPU 41 returns the process to step S120. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S124 that the start lever 6 has been operated (step S124: YES), the CPU 41 performs processing related to various settings (step S125). In these various setting processes, random numbers are sampled from the random number generator 146 at the timing when the start lever 6 is operated, and the internal winning is based on the sampled random number values and the lottery probability table set in the RAM 43. A lottery process for generating a winning combination (winning flag) is performed. In the various setting processes, for example, a WIN lamp lighting lottery process, a process related to selection of a stop control table for stopping the rotating reel, a process for initializing for reel rotation, and the like are performed, and the rotating reel 3 (3L, 3C, 3R) rotation is started.

  After the rotation of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the number of drive pulses transmitted to each of the stepping motors 59L, 59C, 59R is counted, and the counted value is stored in the RAM 43. A reset pulse is obtained for each rotation from the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R, and these pulses are input to the CPU 41 via the reel position detection circuit 60. The count value is cleared to “0” in the drive pulse counted in the RAM 43 by the reset pulse thus obtained. By doing so, the RAM 43 stores the count value corresponding to the rotational position within one rotation range for each of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

  Further, in the symbol table stored in the ROM 42 in order to associate the rotational positions of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel, the rotational position at which the reset pulse is generated is used as a reference. A code number that is sequentially given for each of the rotation reels 3L, 3C, and 3R and a symbol code indicating a symbol that is provided for each code number are associated with each other. Further, the winning symbol combination table stored in the ROM 42 is referred to when controlling the rotation of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, and 3R and when confirming winning after stopping all the rotating reels. After executing the process of step S125, the CPU 41 shifts the process to step S126.

  In step S <b> 126, the CPU 41 sets an effect start command in the RAM 43. This effect start command is a command for starting display of a predetermined effect image on the liquid crystal display device 5 and starting output of predetermined sound to the speakers 21L and 21R, and is an internal winning determined by the lottery process. Contains data on roles. The effect start command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing. After executing the process of step S126, the CPU 41 shifts the process to step S128.

  In step S128, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the stop button 7 (7L, 7C, 7R) is “ON” based on the presence / absence of an input signal from the reel stop signal circuit 56 (step S128). When it is determined that the stop button 7 is not “ON” (step S128: NO), the CPU 41 determines whether or not the value of the automatic stop timer is “0” (step S129) and is not “0”. Is determined (step S129: YES), the process returns to step S128.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S128 that the stop button 7 is “ON” (step S129: YES), or if it is determined in step S129 that the value of the automatic stop timer is “0” (step S129). : YES), the CPU 41 stops the rotation of the rotary reel 3 corresponding to the stop button 7. At this time, the winning request (internal winning combination), the symbol position (the rotational position of the rotary reel 3 at the time of operation) ) The number of sliding frames is determined from the selected stop control table or the like (step S130).

  Next, the CPU 41 performs a process of rotating and stopping the rotating reel 3 by the number of sliding frames determined in step S130 (step S131), and sets a stop request for one rotating reel 3 (step S132). .

  Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not all of the three rotary reels 3 (3L, 3C, 3R) have been stopped (step S135). If it is determined that all the rotating reels 3 are not stopped (step S135: NO), the process returns to step S128. On the other hand, when it is determined that all the rotating reels 3 are stopped (step S135: YES), the CPU 41 performs a winning search (step S136). At this time, a winning symbol combination table or the like stored in the ROM 42 is referred to. Further, it is determined whether or not the winning flag is normal. If not, the illegal error may be displayed and the process may be interrupted.

  Next, the CPU 41 sets an end effect command in the RAM 43 (step S137). This end effect command is a command for displaying an effect image at the end of the game and outputting a sound according to the game result, and includes data related to the result of the winning search in step S136. The end effect command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.

  Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not a medal has been paid out, that is, whether or not there is a winning number (step S138). When it is determined that medals have been paid out (step S138: YES), the CPU 41 stores or pays out medals corresponding to the gaming state and the winning combination (step S139). When storing medals, the CPU 41 performs a process of adding the number of credits stored in the RAM 43. On the other hand, when paying out medals, the CPU 41 sends out a payout command signal to the hopper driving circuit 51 and pays out a predetermined number of medals from the hopper 50. At that time, the medal detection unit 50S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 50, and when the count value reaches a designated number, a medal payout completion signal is input to the CPU 41. As a result, the CPU 41 stops driving the hopper 50 via the hopper drive circuit 51 and ends the medal payout process.

  Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not an RB has been won (step S140). If it is determined that the RB has been won (step S140: YES), the CPU 41 performs processing related to the RB setting (step S141). In this step S141, the CPU 41 performs processing related to setting of the RB lottery probability table and the RB winning symbol combination table. In step S141, the CPU 41 starts counting the number of RB game winnings and the like, and starts a process of displaying the count value on the accessory operation count display unit 20. After executing the process of step S141, the CPU 41 shifts the process to step S142.

  In step S <b> 142, the CPU 41 sets an RB setting command in the RAM 43. The RB setting command is a command for displaying an effect image for RB as a screen image on the liquid crystal display device 5 and outputting sound related to RB from the speaker 21, and is supplied to the sub-control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing. The

  When it is determined in step S140 that the RB has not been won (step S140: NO), or when the process of step S142 is executed, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the BB has been won (step S143). . If it is determined that BB has been won, the CPU 41 performs processing related to BB setting (step S144). In step S144, the CPU 41 performs processing related to setting of a BB lottery probability table, a BB winning symbol combination table, and the like. In step S144, the CPU 41 starts counting the number of times the BB game is consumed, displaying the count value on the accessory action number display unit 20, counting the number of medals paid out, and the like. Thereafter, the CPU 41 shifts the processing to step S145.

  In step S145, the CPU 41 sets a BB setting command in the RAM 43. The BB setting command is a command for displaying an effect image for BB as a screen image on the liquid crystal display device 5 and outputting the sound related to BB from the speaker 21, and is supplied to the sub-control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing. The

  If it is determined in step S143 that the BB has not been won (step S143: NO), or if the process of step S145 is executed, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the RB has ended (step S146). . If it is determined that the RB has ended (step S146: YES), the CPU 41 then performs a process related to the RB setting cancellation (step S147). In step S148, the CPU 41 changes from the RB lottery probability table set in the process of step S141, the RB winning symbol combination table, or the like to the lottery probability table used for the normal gaming state (other than RB or BB). Performs processing related to setting change. Thereafter, the CPU 41 shifts the processing to step S148.

  In step S <b> 148, the CPU 41 sets an RB release command in the RAM 43. The RB release command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.

  If it is not determined in step S146 that the RB has ended (step S: NO), or if the process of step S148 is executed, the CPU 41 determines whether the BB has ended (step S149). If it is determined that the BB has ended (step S: YES), the CPU 41 then performs a process related to the BB setting cancellation (step S150). In step S150, the CPU 41 sets the lottery probability table used in the normal gaming state (other than RB or BB) from the lottery table for BB set in the process of step S144, the winning symbol combination table for BB, or the like. Process related to change. Thereafter, the CPU 41 moves the process to step S151.

  In step S <b> 151, the CPU 41 sets a BB release command in the RAM 43. The BB release command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing. When it is determined in step S149 that BB has not ended (step S149: NO), or when the process of step S151 is executed, this subroutine is ended.

<Voice recognition processing>
FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of sound recognition processing performed in the sub control circuit. First, in step S200, the speaker 314 of the mobile phone 300 outputs a sound based on the music data as a non-audible sound, and the microphone 44 of the pachislot gaming device 1 outputs the non-audible sound output from the speaker 314 of the mobile phone 300. Input voice. The sub CPU 206 receives output waveform data generated based on the input sound input from the microphone 44 from the signal processing circuit 44a.

  Next, the sub CPU 206 refers to the comparison waveform data stored in the program ROM 208 (step S180), and a waveform that is the same as or similar to the specific waveform indicated by the comparison waveform data is included in a part of the waveform indicated by the output waveform data. It is determined whether or not it is included (step S181). In this process, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the compared waveforms are the same or similar based on the similarity obtained by a predetermined calculation formula (step S182).

  When it is determined that a part of the waveform indicated by the output waveform data (predetermined non-audible frequency band portion in this embodiment) does not include the same or similar waveform as the specific waveform indicated by the comparison waveform data (step (S182: NO), this subroutine is terminated. On the other hand, if it is determined that a part of the waveform indicated by the output waveform data includes the same or similar waveform as the specific waveform indicated by the comparison waveform data (step S202: YES), the sub CPU 206 determines that the sub waveform is the sub waveform in step S203. The control circuit 82 refers to the voice transmitted from the mobile phone 300 and extracts a specific effect pattern based on the effect pattern table (FIG. 15) stored in the work ROM. After executing the processing of step S183, this subroutine is terminated. Thereby, since it is not disturbed by the production sound of other game machines, the music of a hall, etc., malfunction can be prevented.

  In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which the input sound is converted into waveform data having a waveform as shown in FIG. 7 in order to determine whether or not the input sound includes a specific sound. It is not always necessary to convert input sound into waveform data. For example, it may be converted into data by quantifying the waveform of the input sound by a predetermined method such as quantification.

  In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which the sub CPU 206 executes processing for determining whether or not a specific waveform pattern is included in the waveform indicated by the waveform data (hereinafter also referred to as waveform determination processing). However, in the present invention, a device having the waveform determination processing function may be provided separately, and the waveform determination processing may be performed by the device under the control of the sub CPU 206.

  In the embodiment of the present invention, a specific sound is included in the input sound by determining whether a part of the waveform indicated by the output waveform data includes the same or similar waveform as the specific waveform indicated by the comparative waveform data. In the present invention, it is determined whether or not the input sound includes the specific sound by determining whether or not the waveform in the specific frequency band has a predetermined peak. It is good also as judging. Alternatively, when it is determined that a waveform in a specific frequency band has peaks at a predetermined time interval in a predetermined period, it may be determined that the input sound includes the specific sound.

  <Operation of the sub-control circuit 82 of the gaming machine>

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of command reception processing performed in the sub control circuit. First, in step S200, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not an effect start command has been received. If it is determined that an effect start command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S210. On the other hand, if it is determined that an effect start command has been received, the process proceeds to step S201.

  In step S201, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the specific sound detection flag is set when the microphone 44 of the pachislot gaming device 1 inputs the sound of the inaudible sound output from the speaker 314 of the mobile phone 300. to decide. When determining that the specific sound detection flag is set, the sub CPU 206 selects an effect pattern corresponding to the command from the specific effect patterns (step S202). If the RB flag is set, the sub CPU 206 selects a specific effect pattern for RB. If the BB flag is set, a specific effect pattern for BB is selected. On the other hand, when determining that the specific sound detection flag is not set, the sub CPU 206 selects an effect pattern corresponding to the command from the specific effect patterns (step S203). If the RB flag is set, the sub CPU 206 selects the RB normal effect pattern. If the BB flag is set, the normal specific effect pattern for BB is selected.

  Next, in step S <b> 204, effect pattern data that is data indicating the effect pattern is supplied to the display control circuit 250 and the audio control circuit 230. After executing the process of step S204, the process proceeds to step S210.

If it is determined that the end effect command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S220. On the other hand, if it is determined that the end effect command has been received, the process proceeds to step S211.

  In step S211, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not the specific sound detection flag is set. When determining that the specific sound detection flag is set, the sub CPU 206 selects an effect pattern corresponding to the command from the end specific effect patterns (step S212). If the RB flag is set, the sub CPU 206 selects an end specific effect pattern for RB. If the BB flag is set, an end specific effect pattern for BB is selected. On the other hand, when determining that the specific sound detection flag is not set, the sub CPU 206 selects an effect pattern corresponding to the command from the end normal effect patterns (step S203). If the RB flag is set, the sub CPU 206 selects an end normal effect pattern for RB. If the BB flag is set, the end normal specific effect pattern for BB is selected.

  Next, in step S214, the end effect pattern data is supplied to the display control circuit 250 and the audio control circuit 230. After performing the process of step S210, the process proceeds to step S220.

  In step S220, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not an RB setting command has been received. If it is determined that the RB setting command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S230. On the other hand, when determining that the RB setting command has been received, the sub CPU 206 sets the RB flag in step S221. After performing the process of step S221, the process proceeds to step S230. The RB flag is a flag that is set when the RB starts and cleared when the RB ends.

  In step S230, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a BB setting command has been received. If it is determined that the BB setting command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S240. On the other hand, when determining that the BB setting command is received, the sub CPU 206 sets the BB flag in step S231. After performing the process of step S231, the process proceeds to step S240. The BB flag is a flag that is set when the BB starts and cleared when the BB ends.

  If it is determined in step S230 that the BB setting command has not been received, or if the process of step S231 has been executed, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not an RB release command has been received (step S240). If it is determined that the RB release command has been received, the RB flag is cleared (step S241).

  If it is determined in step S240 that an RB release command has not been received, or if the process of step S241 has been executed, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a BB release command has been received (step S250). If it is determined that the BB release command has not been received, this subroutine is terminated. On the other hand, when determining that the BB release command has been received, the sub CPU 206 clears the BB flag (step S251) and ends the present subroutine.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of effect control processing performed in the sub control circuit 82. The VDP 212 generates a screen image corresponding to various data supplied from the sub CPU 206.

  When the sub CPU 206 does not receive the sound output from the microphone 44 from the speaker 314 of the mobile phone 300 within a predetermined period, and the VDP 212 does not receive the production pattern data from the sub CPU 206, (Step S301: NO), the demo image set as default is extracted from the image data ROM 216 and stored in the buffer (Step S301). The sub CPU 206 selects the production pattern data set as default and produces the production using the liquid crystal display device 5 or the speakers 21L and 21R.

  The VDP 212 receives supply of effect pattern data from the sub CPU 206 (step S300: YES), and when the effect pattern data is not the specific effect pattern data (step S302: NO), the process proceeds to step S303. In step S303, when the sub CPU 206 has not received supply of the end effect pattern data (step S303: NO), the sub effect CPU 206 extracts the normal effect image from the image data ROM 216 and stores it in the buffer (step S304). On the other hand, if the end effect pattern data has been supplied (step S303: YES), the normal effect image at the end is extracted from the image data ROM 216 and stored in the buffer (step S305).

  The VDP 212 receives supply of effect pattern data from the sub CPU 206 (step S300: YES), and when the effect pattern data is specific effect pattern data (step S302: YES), the process proceeds to step S306. In step S306, when the sub CPU 206 has not received the supply of the end effect pattern data (step S306: NO), the sub CPU 206 uses the nonvolatile data of the mobile phone 300 based on the audio data input from the microphone 44. The type of music data stored in the memory 300 is determined, and a specific effect image is extracted from the image data ROM 216 and stored in the buffer (step S307). The sub CPU 206 determines one effect pattern data from a plurality of stored effect pattern data according to the determined type of music data, and controls effects by the liquid crystal display device 5 or the speakers 21L, 21R, etc. . On the other hand, when the end effect pattern data is supplied (step S306: YES), the specific effect image at the end is extracted from the image data ROM 216 and stored in the buffer (step S308).

  Thereafter, when the effect has not ended (step S310: NO), the process returns to step S300. On the other hand, when the effect is finished (step S310: YES), the pattern data is cleared (step S311), and the process returns to step S300. As a result, the music data acquired by the mobile phone 300 can be reflected in the effect of the gaming machine, so that various effects that do not open the player can be executed.

<Encoding process>
FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of the encoding process. First, the sub CPU 206 sets the extracted URL information in the work RAM 210 (step S400).

  Next, the sub CPU 206 creates a mode identifier in the work RAM 210 according to the character type (for example, numbers, alphanumeric characters, kanji, etc.) of the URL information (step S401). Next, the sub CPU 206 creates a character number identifier corresponding to the number of characters in the URL information in the work RAM 210 (step S402). Next, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of binarizing the URL information (step S403). Further, the sub CPU 206 performs processing for adding a termination pattern to the data obtained in steps S401 to S403 (step S404).

Is added to the data (step S406). Next, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of binarizing the data obtained in step S406 and arranging the data in a matrix (step S407). Further, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of masking a predetermined pattern on the data obtained in step S407 (step S408). Next, a process of adding format information including an error correction level and a mask identifier is performed (step S409), and a two-dimensional code is generated (step S410). The generated two-dimensional code is stored in the work RAM 210, and the sub CPU 206 displays the two-dimensional code image 92 in a predetermined area that can be imaged by the CCD camera 308 of the mobile phone 300 in the effect image of the liquid crystal display device 5. Thereafter, this subroutine is terminated.

As shown in FIG. 10, the sub CPU 206 displays the two-dimensional code image 92 in a predetermined area that can be imaged by the CCD camera 308 of the mobile phone 300 in the liquid crystal display device 5. In this state, the player captures the two-dimensional code image 92 with the CCD camera 308 of the mobile phone 300. Specifically, the microcomputer 322 included in the mobile phone 300 drives a CCD camera 308 as an imaging unit based on an instruction input via the operation unit 304, and the CCD camera 308 is used for the pachislot gaming device 1. The two-dimensional code 92 included in the screen image displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 is imaged (step S500).

  Thereafter, the microcomputer 322 stores the image data obtained in step S500 in the nonvolatile memory 320 (step S501). Next, the microcomputer 322 performs a two-dimensional code recognition process (step S502), recognizes a two-dimensional code from the image data obtained in step S500, and generates URL information from the recognized two-dimensional code. The two-dimensional code recognition process will be described in detail later.

  In step S502, the microcomputer 322 analyzes the two-dimensional code image from the image data obtained when the CCD camera 308 images the two-dimensional code (code information), acquires the URL, and sends it to the server 200 on the Internet. After accessing and downloading the music data and the game program from the server, they are stored in the nonvolatile memory 320, and the mobile phone 300 executes the music data slot game.

  Next, the microcomputer 322 transmits the URL information obtained by the two-dimensional code recognition process in step S502 to the server 200 via the Internet by the wireless unit 310 and the transmission / reception antenna 318 together with the ID data of the mobile phone 300. (Step S503).

  When the CPU 201 included in the server 200 receives the URL information and the ID data of the mobile phone 300 from the mobile phone 300 via the Internet, the CPU 201 stores the URL information and the ID data in the hard disk drive 205 (step S601). Next, the CPU 201 extracts web page data and music data corresponding to the URL information received in step S601 from the hard disk drive 205 (step S602). Then, the CPU 201 transmits web page data and music data to the mobile phone 300 (step S603).

  The microcomputer 322 of the mobile phone 300 displays a web page on the liquid crystal panel 306 based on the web page data transmitted from the server 200 (step S504), and stores the music data and the game program in the nonvolatile memory 322 (step S504). S505). As a result, the player can acquire music data. When the player executes the music data slot game on the mobile phone 300 as shown in FIGS. 12, 13, and 14, the microcomputer 322 stores the points given in the executed music data slot game in a nonvolatile memory. Can be remembered.

<Two-dimensional code recognition processing>
FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing a two-dimensional code recognition process. First, the microcomputer 322 performs image conversion processing on the image data stored in the nonvolatile memory 320 (step S700). The image conversion process extracts the image data of the area where the two-dimensional code is displayed from the image data obtained by imaging, corrects the inclination and distortion, converts the image data to a monochrome image with a predetermined threshold, and views it from the front This is processing for obtaining image data including a two-dimensional code.

  Next, the microcomputer 322 extracts a two-dimensional code from the image data obtained in step S700, and performs correction such as noise removal (step S701). Next, the microcomputer 322 binarizes the two-dimensional code obtained in step S701, and replaces each dot constituting the two-dimensional code with “0” or “1” (step S702). Matrix data is generated (step S703). Next, the microcomputer 322 decodes the binarized matrix data (step S704) and generates URL information (step S705). Thereafter, this subroutine is terminated.

  As described above, when the mobile phone 300 transmits the URL information and the ID data of the mobile phone 300 to the server 200 (FIG. 22, step S603), data representing a site corresponding to this URL (for example, HTML data or the like). ) And music data and game program data are transmitted from the server 200 to the mobile phone 300, and an image as shown in FIG. 12 is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 306 of the mobile phone 300.

<Point grant processing>

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the point processing. When the slot game is executed on the mobile phone 300, it is first determined whether or not the current gaming state is a bonus gaming state (step S800). If it is not in the bonus game state (step S800: NO), this subroutine is terminated and re-executed from step S800.

  On the other hand, if the bonus game state is set (step S800: YES), it is subsequently determined whether or not the bonus game has ended (step 801). If the bonus game has not ended (step S800: NO), this subroutine is ended, and the process is re-executed from step 800. When the bonus game state is ended (step S801: YES), a point grant process is executed, and the point value is cumulatively stored in the nonvolatile memory 320. Then, this subroutine is terminated and re-executed from step 800. Thereby, the player can change the effects of the gaming machine according to the music data obtained in accordance with the points acquired in the mobile phone 300 game, and thus can enjoy various effects.
