Description

  The present invention relates to gaming machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines.

Conventionally, in a gaming machine such as a pachinko machine, for example, in a gaming machine equipped with a symbol variation display device in which a plurality of symbol sequences are variably displayed, when a plurality of symbol sequences variably displayed on the symbol variation display device is stopped Reach game in which a combination of jackpot symbols is achieved when the combination becomes a jackpot game state when the combination becomes a predetermined jackpot symbol combination, and a combination other than one of the plurality of symbol strings when the other symbol strings are stopped There is one configured to perform a reach effect on the symbol variation display device when the state is reached. In recent years, a variety of reach productions have been performed in this type of gaming machine, and some machines have a plurality of reach productions. In addition, there is a gaming machine that performs a reach effect (so-called “premium reach”) that is rarely performed among these reach effects compared to other reach effects (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Also, a gaming machine has been proposed in which a particular character (so-called “premium character”) that can only be seen in premium reach is displayed on the screen to improve the interest of the game.

On the other hand, since mobile phones with a photographing function have become widespread in recent years, a premium character displayed on a symbol variation display device of a gaming machine is photographed with a cellular phone with a photographing function, and the photographed image data is sent to an e-mail. It is also possible to proudly enjoy the appearance of a premium character that can be seen very rarely by attaching it to a friend's mobile phone. For this reason,
It may be possible to have a premium character image taken by a player sent to a gaming machine maker and to develop a campaign such as providing prizes or service points to the player who sent it.
JP 2002-102475 A

However, when a campaign for sending photographed image data of a premium character to a gaming machine manufacturer is developed, some players who intend to acquire more prizes provided in the campaign intentionally play the same photographed image data. It is also assumed that the captured image data is illegally used, such as being sent to the machine manufacturer a plurality of times. In such a case, if the gaming machine manufacturer cannot identify illegally used photographed image data, the gaming machine manufacturer must provide a prize for the illegally used photographed image data. May cause serious problems in the operation of the campaign.

Therefore, it is conceivable to determine whether or not the images are the same by checking the captured image data, which is digital data, one by one with all image data received in the past at the gaming machine manufacturer. However, since the content of the image data changes only by changing the image size and brightness in practice, it is considered difficult to determine whether or not the image data is identical. In addition, even in the case of photographed image data that has been properly transmitted, there is a possibility that the image data received and stored in the past will coincide with the size, brightness, etc. by chance. If it is determined that the prize is not provided, not only a great disadvantage is given to the player, but also the player may be distrusted by the gaming machine manufacturer. Furthermore, there is a problem in that checking all the image data received and stored in the past in pixel units has a large processing load and requires a lot of time for processing.

Hereinafter, an embodiment in which a gaming machine of the present invention is embodied in a pachinko machine will be described with reference to the drawings.

A plurality of pachinko machines 1 according to the present embodiment are arranged side by side in the upper part of the counter base of the pachinko islands installed in the game hall. As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko machine 1 is provided with a front frame 2 at the front, and a glass door frame 3 is attached to the front frame 2. The glass door frame 3 is supported by the front frame 2 so that it can be opened and closed by a shaft, and a metal frame in which glass is fitted, and a synthetic resin frame (hereinafter referred to as “resin frame”) fitted in the frame. I have. A game board 7 shown in FIG. 2 is arranged behind the glass door frame 3. The game board 7 has a substantially circular game area, and a first type start port 4, a symbol variation display device 5, and a big prize port 6 are provided in the game region. First
The seed start port 4 includes a passage for the game ball B, and a blade 4a is supported at the passage entrance so as to be opened and closed.

At the bottom of the glass door frame 3, an upper tray 3a from which prize balls are paid out is mounted. A lower tray 2a is mounted below the window hole of the front frame 2. Under tray 2
“a” is used for discharging a prize ball that does not fit into the upper tray 3 a, a ball that is removed from the top tray 3 a, or a surplus ball such as a foul ball from the outlet of the excess ball and storing it. On the right side of the lower tray 2a in the front frame 2, a launching handle 17 for launching the game ball B is mounted so as to be rotatable. A motor (not shown) as a driving means is mounted on the back side of the front frame 2 corresponding to the firing handle 17.
The motor is rotated by the rotation operation of the firing handle 17, whereby a hitting ball (not shown) is intermittently operated and adjusted to a resilient force corresponding to the rotation angle of the firing handle 17. Therefore, a ball launcher is constituted by the motor and the hitting ball.

The symbol variation display device 5 is provided above the first type start port 4 and includes a screen 5a composed of a liquid crystal display (LCD). Various kinds of images are displayed on the screen 5a. As one of them, a left symbol row 8, a middle symbol row 9, and a right symbol row 10 are displayed. The number of symbol rows is not limited to the above (3 rows), and may be 1 row, 2 rows, 4 rows or more. Each of the symbol rows 8 to 10 is composed of a plurality of symbols made up of numbers, symbols and the like. The symbol variation display device 5 is driven and controlled by a symbol display control board 22 which is one of the sub-boards. In the symbol variation display device 5, symbol variation in the symbol sequences 8 to 10 is started by winning the game ball B at the first type starting port 4.
The symbol variation is stopped in the order of the left symbol row 8, the right symbol row 10, and the middle symbol row 9, but this is only an example and may be stopped in another order. When symbol variations in all symbol sequences 8 to 10 are stopped, a combination of symbols (hereinafter referred to as “stop symbols”) displayed is a predetermined combination (specific display result, hereinafter referred to as “hit combination”). ),
That is, there are cases where the same type of symbols are arranged along the jackpot line (for example, 777). This combination of stop symbols is referred to as “
It is called a “hit symbol”. In this embodiment, there are a total of five types of jackpot lines: one that extends in the horizontal direction (upper, middle, and lower three types) and one that extends in the diagonal direction (two types, lower right and lower left). Not limited to. For example, the number of jackpot lines is one, and it may be what is usually called “one line”. When the jackpot combination is established, the special electric combination is activated, and a jackpot gaming state as a special gaming state advantageous to the player arrives, and it becomes possible to acquire more prize balls.

Further, the pachinko machine 1 enters the reach gaming state prior to the occurrence of the big hit gaming state. Here, the reach game state means a state immediately before the big hit game state. For example, the symbol variation in the right symbol row 10 stops on the big hit line with the same kind of symbols as the stop symbol in the left symbol row 8. And after that, if the symbol variation in the middle symbol row 9 is stopped with the same kind of symbols as the stop symbols in the left and right symbol rows 8 and 10, a combination of jackpots is finally included. That is, the reach gaming state is 1 out of a plurality of symbol strings.
The combination at the time of the stop of the other symbol row except one is a combination of jackpot symbols.
In addition, when the symbol variation stops, the game changes in a combination that results in a big hit gaming state, and when it stops at that symbol, when it finally becomes a big hit gaming state, the state in the variation is also included in the reach gaming state. This is usually called full rotation (all symbols) reach. The special winning opening 6 is provided below the first type starting opening 4 and includes one V zone 11, two passages 12 and 13, and a shutter 14. The shutter 14 is operated by a prize winning solenoid (hereinafter simply referred to as “solenoid”) 15 to open and close the V zone 11 and the entrances of the passages 12 and 13.

As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 3 is provided with a start port switch 18, a V zone switch 19 and a count switch 20. The start port switch 18 detects winning of the game ball B to the first type start port 4. The V zone switch 19 detects the winning of the game ball B into the V zone 11, and the count switch 20 detects the winning of the game ball B into the big winning opening 6. Further, the solenoid 15 is driven and controlled based on the detection results of the switches 18 to 20. And in order to control each part of the game board 3,
A main board 21, a symbol display control board 22 which is one of the sub boards, and various sub boards 23 such as a volume control board, an LED board, and a payout control board are provided.

The main board 21 is a control board that performs main control of the pachinko machine 1, and as shown in FIG. 3, the CPU 21a, ROM 21b, and RAM 21c are configured as main components, and one of the controls by the CPU 21a is a big hit gaming state. There is a so-called probability variation in which the probability of occurrence of the variation varies depending on conditions. Specifically, a low-probability mode that generates a jackpot gaming state with a low probability of about 1/300, and 1/5 that is about five times that
A high probability mode for generating a jackpot gaming state with a high probability of about 60 is prepared, and the probability mode is switched according to the type of jackpot symbol. That is, if the jackpot symbol is a predetermined special symbol (eg, odd symbol), the high probability mode is set, and if it is a predetermined normal symbol (eg, even symbol), the low probability mode is set. Note that the multiple of the occurrence probability in the high probability mode with respect to the occurrence probability in the low probability mode may be a value other than the above-described value (about 5). In addition, a gaming machine ID is stored in the ROM 21b.

The symbol display control board 22 is one of the sub-boards, and as shown in FIG.
The symbol 22a, the ROM 22b, the RAM 22c, and the nonvolatile memory 22d are configured as main components, and the CPU 22a controls driving of the symbol variation display device 5 based on a signal input from the main board 21. The ROM 22b stores symbol display data, reach effect pattern data, and the like. The nonvolatile memory 29 is a writable nonvolatile storage medium for storing a premium character counter PC, which will be described later, in a nonvolatile manner. The value of the premium character counter PC is stored and retained even after the pachinko machine 1 is turned off. Is done.

Next, the operation and effect of each part of the pachinko machine 1 configured as described above will be described. The flowcharts of FIGS. 4 to 6 show various routines executed by the control device 21. Each processing of these routines includes a counter group and a flag F.
It is executed based on. The counter group includes a round counter R, a winning counter P, and a probability variation counter C. The round counter R is for counting the number of rounds, and the winning counter P is for counting the number of winning game balls B to the big winning opening 6 based on the detection result of the count switch 20. The probability variation counter C is for determining the end of the high probability mode, and is “2”, “1”, “0”.
"Is taken. Note that the initial values of the counters R, P, and C are all “0”. In addition, the counter group includes an internal random number counter for determining occurrence of a big hit gaming state, an outreach random number counter for determining outreach, etc., a respective symbol counter for determining stop symbols, and a reach And a reach type counter for determining the type of operation. Here, the outreach by the outreach random number counter refers to a state in which the winning combination is not finally made after the above-described reach gaming state. The flag F is used to determine whether or not the game ball B has won a prize in the V zone 11 and is “0” when no prize is detected by the V zone switch 19.
When a winning is detected, “1” is set. Although it has already been described that there are two types of probability modes, a low probability mode and a high probability mode, a low probability mode is set as an initial value.

Now, when the game is started by the player, the CPU 21a of the main board 21
First, in step S10 of the special electric accessory control routine of FIG. 4, it is determined whether or not the game ball B has been won at the first type start port 4 based on the detection result of the start port switch 18. If this determination condition is not satisfied, the special electric accessory control routine is terminated, and if it is satisfied, each value of the internal random number counter and the outlier reach random number counter is acquired and the value of each symbol counter is set in step S20. Based on each of the symbol rows 8 to 10, a missing symbol is acquired. Acquisition here refers to a process of reading the value of each counter and storing the value in the RAM 21c. Next, a symbol variation start process is executed in step S30. Specifically, in step S31 of FIG. 6, the symbols in the symbol rows 8 to 10 are variably displayed on the symbol variation display device 5, respectively. This display makes it appear to the player that the three reels of left, middle and right are rotating. In step S32, it is determined whether or not the value of the internal random number counter is the same as the jackpot value. As the jackpot value, two types of values (low probability jackpot value and high probability jackpot value) are prepared. The former is a value for generating the jackpot gaming state with the low probability described above, and the latter is a value for generating with a high probability. For example, when the internal random number counter is a value that is updated every predetermined time in the range of “0” to “299”, “7” is set as the low probability jackpot value, and “7”, “17” ,
“27”, “37”, and “47” are the jackpot values for high probability. Then, the probability that the jackpot gaming state will occur is 1 / when the jackpot value for low probability is used as the jackpot value.
300, and 1/60 when the high probability jackpot value is used as the jackpot value. When the low probability mode is set in the previous control cycle, the low probability jackpot value is selected as the jackpot value. When the high probability mode is set, the high probability jackpot value is selected as the jackpot value.

If the determination condition of step S32 is satisfied, the big hit symbol corresponding to the big hit value is stored in the memory as a stop symbol in step S33. On the other hand, if the determination condition in step S32 is not satisfied, it is determined in step S34 whether or not the value of the outreach random number counter is the same as the predetermined outreach value. If this determination condition is satisfied, in step S35, a symbol corresponding to the detach reach value (hereinafter referred to as “disconnect reach symbol”) is stored in the memory as a stop symbol. If the determination condition in step S34 is not satisfied, step S36 is executed.
In step S20, the off symbol in step S20 is stored in the memory as a stop symbol. Then, after storing the stop symbol in the above steps S33, S35, S36, the symbol variation start processing routine is terminated. After executing the process of step S30 (symbol variation start process) as described above, in step S40 of FIG.
The symbol at 0 is replaced with the stopped symbol stored in one of the processes of steps S33, S35, and S36. The symbol fluctuations in the left and right symbol rows 8 and 10 are stopped by the symbol after replacement. In step S50, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination in the left and right symbol rows 8 and 10 is a reach combination (same symbol). If this determination condition is not satisfied, the special electric accessory control routine is terminated. If the determination condition is satisfied, reach effect processing is performed in step S60.

Specifically, in the reach effect processing routine shown in FIG. 7A, first, in step S601, a reach effect pattern is determined according to the value of the reach type counter. That is, referring to the reach type reference table shown in FIG. 7B, when the value of the internal random number counter is a big hit value, the value of the reach type counter is “0” to “
“14” is a normal reach effect pattern, “15” to “99” is a special reach A effect pattern, “100” to “129” is a special reach B effect pattern, and “130” is The premium reach production pattern is determined as the reach production pattern to be executed this time. On the other hand, when the value of the internal random number counter is not a big hit value (that is, out of reach),
When the value of the reach type counter is “0” to “89”, the normal reach production pattern is displayed. When the reach type counter is “90” to “109”, the special reach A production pattern is displayed.
In the case of “110” to “130”, the special reach B effect pattern is determined as the reach effect pattern to be executed this time. As is clear from FIG. 7B, the premium reach is a reach effect in which the big hit is fixed, and therefore, the premium reach effect is not executed in the outlier reach. Subsequently, in step S602, a reach effect command and a gaming machine ID corresponding to each reach effect pattern are sent to the symbol display control board 22.

When the symbol display control board 22 receives the reach effect command from the main board 21, as shown in the reach effect display processing routine shown in FIG.
Then, it is determined whether the reach production command is a premium reach display command,
If it is a display instruction for reach production other than premium reach (step S651)
: No), in step S652, the reach effect pattern data corresponding to each reach effect command is read from the ROM 22b and the reach effect display control is performed on the symbol variation display device 5, and then the processing of this routine is terminated. 9A shows a display example of the normal reach effect screen, FIG. 9B shows a display example of the special reach A effect screen, and FIG. 9C shows a display example of the special reach B effect screen. Yes.

On the other hand, if the reach effect command is a premium reach display command (step S651: Yes), premium reach effect pattern data is read from the ROM 22b in step S653, and premium reach effect display control is performed on the symbol variation display device 5. . FIG. 10 shows a display example of the premium reach production screen. On the premium reach production screen, a premium character 5b is displayed as an image to be photographed by the mobile phone 200 with a photographing function possessed by the player. Here, the probability of jackpot occurrence in the low probability mode is 1/300, and the probability of premium reach in the reach production at the time of jackpot is 1/131, so the appearance probability of the premium character is the result of multiplying these, that is, The probability is as low as 1/39300. Therefore, by displaying such a rarely appearing premium character 5b on the symbol variation display device 5, a great surprise and joy are given to the player, and the interest of the game in the pachinko machine 1 is further improved. Is done. Note that the processing in step S653 functions as the photographing target image display control means of the present invention.

Further, in step S654, a display is performed in which the shooting target area including substantially the entire premium character 5b is surrounded by a dotted line frame 5c in a rectangular shape, and the dotted line frame 5 is displayed.
The premium character 5b in c is displayed with an arrow 5d. In addition, a message “capture this” is displayed in text on the arrow 5d. Therefore, the display of the dotted line frame 5c and the arrow 5d clearly indicates that the premium character 5b is a shooting target image. Note that the processing in step S654 functions as an explicit means of the present invention. Subsequently, in step S655, the gaming machine ID received from the main board 21 together with the reach effect command is used as the premium character 5.
It displays in the identification information display area 5e provided in the approximate center of b. In step S656, the premium character counter P is read from the nonvolatile memory 29.
The value C is read out and displayed on the right side of the gaming machine ID displayed in the identification information display area 5e. For example, in FIG. 10, the numerical value “12345” in the identification information display area 5e.
Represents the gaming machine ID, and the numerical value “951” after the hyphen represents the value of the premium character counter PC. Therefore, the identification information displayed in the identification information display area 5e indicates which gaming machine is the premium character 5b displayed by the gaming machine ID, and how many times the premium character displayed on the pachinko machine 1 is displayed. Whether it is 5b is represented by a premium character counter PC value. The premium character counter PC value corresponds to unique information given in accordance with a predetermined rule, and steps S655 to S656 are performed.
This process functions as the identification information display control means of the present invention. continue,
In step S657, the value of the premium character counter PC in the nonvolatile memory 22d is counted up.

Further, in step S658, a message that prompts the player to shoot the premium character 5b displayed on the premium reach effect screen and clearly indicates which image on the screen is the premium character 5b is displayed at the bottom of the reach effect screen. Is displayed in the message display area 5f. For example, as shown in FIG.
When the message “Please shoot the premium character in the dotted frame!” Is displayed in text, it is clearly shown that the premium character 5b is displayed in the dotted frame 5c, and the premium character 5b is shot. The player is prompted to do so. Further, in step S659, the destination mail address of the photographed image data of the premium character 5b (specifically, the email address of the gaming machine manufacturer) is displayed in the message display area 5f. The execution time of the premium reach effect is set longer than the execution times of the other three types of reach effects. Furthermore, in the premium reach effect, the premium character 5b is continuously displayed for a predetermined time or more. Thereby, sufficient time is secured for the player to prepare for and shoot with the mobile phone 200, and the premium character 5b can be reliably shot. After executing each processing step described above, this routine is terminated. In addition, the process of step S658-S659 functions as an alerting | reporting means of this invention.

When the reach effect process (step S60) ends, in step S70, the symbol fluctuation in the middle symbol row 9 is stopped. Subsequently, in step S80, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination is a jackpot combination. If this determination condition is not satisfied, the special electric accessory control routine is terminated, and if it is satisfied, a big hit effect process is performed in step S90. Subsequently, in step S100 of FIG. 4, the round counter R is reset. In step S110, the winning counter P is reset and the flag F is set to “0”. Subsequently, the solenoid 15 is excited in step S120 of FIG. Then, the shutter 14 falls and the passage entrance of the special winning opening 6 is opened. With this opening, the game ball B can be awarded to the V zone 11 and the passages 12 and 13. In step S130, the round counter R is incremented by "1".

Next, in step S140, it is determined whether or not the value of the winning counter P is equal to or less than a predetermined value Pmax. If this determination condition is satisfied, it is determined in step S150 whether or not the scheduled closing time of the special winning opening 6 is yet. If this determination condition is satisfied (step S150: Yes), the process returns to step S140. As a result, more than Pmax game balls B win after the opening of the grand prize opening 6 starts,
Unless the scheduled closing time arrives, the grand prize winning opening 6 continues to be opened. On the other hand, if any one of the determination conditions in steps S140 and S150 is not satisfied, the solenoid 15 is demagnetized in step S160. Then, the shutter 14 is raised, and the passage entrance of the special winning opening 6 is closed. In step S170, it is determined whether or not the value of the round counter R is equal to or less than a predetermined value Rmax. If this determination condition is satisfied, it is determined in step S180 whether or not the flag F is “1”. If the determination condition of step S180 is satisfied (step S180: Yes), the process returns to step S110 of FIG. Therefore, once the big hit gaming state occurs, until the game ball B wins the V zone 11 at most Rmax times,
The grand prize winning opening 6 repeats the opening and closing cycle. For example, the predetermined value Pmax is set to “10”, the opening time of the special winning opening 6 is set to “about 29.5” seconds, and the predetermined value Rmax is set to “10”.
16 ”, after the grand prize opening 6 is opened, (1) 10 game balls B are awarded to the big prize opening 6, and (2) about 29.5 seconds have passed. When either one of the conditions is satisfied, the special winning opening 6 is closed. The opening / closing cycle of the big winning opening 6 is repeated up to 16 times on condition that the game ball B wins the V zone 11. If any one of the determination conditions in steps S170 and S180 is not satisfied, the probability variation process is executed in step S190, and then the special electric accessory control routine is terminated.

In the probability variation processing routine of FIG. 11, in step S221, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is a normal symbol (in this case, an even symbol). If this determination condition is not satisfied (step S221: No), that is, if the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (odd symbol), the high probability mode is set in step S226 and "2" is set to the probability variation counter C. To do. After executing the processing of step S226, the probability variation processing routine is terminated. Thus, when the big hit gaming state is continuously generated with the special symbol (odd symbol) during the high probability, the high probability mode is continued. On the other hand, if the determination condition in step S221 is satisfied, that is, if the big hit symbol is a normal symbol (even symbol), it is determined in step S222 whether the probability variation counter C is not "0". This judgment condition is not satisfied (C =
0), the probability variation processing routine is terminated, and if satisfied (C = 2, 1), the probability variation counter C is decremented by “1” in step S223. Step S22
4, it is determined whether or not the probability variation counter C is “0”. If this determination condition is not satisfied (C = 1), the probability variation processing routine is terminated and is satisfied (
In C = 0) and step S225, the low probability mode is set. Once the high probability mode is set in this way, the probability is high until the probability variation counter C becomes “0”, that is, after the high probability mode is set, until the big hit gaming state is continuously generated twice with an even number of symbols. The mode continues. When the big hit gaming state with an even number of symbols continues twice, the high probability mode ends and the mode is switched to the low probability mode. Note that the processing procedure in the present embodiment is an example, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the symbol variation process (step S31) may be performed after the stop symbol storage process (steps S33, S35, S36).

As described above, in the present embodiment, when it is detected that the game ball B has won the first type starting port 4, the values of the respective counters are acquired and the symbol columns 8 to 10 are variably displayed. A stop symbol is stored based on the value of each counter, and the symbol variation is stopped by the stop symbol. If the combination of symbols displayed when the game is stopped is a big win combination, a big win gaming state that is advantageous to the player will occur, and until the game ball B reaches the V zone 11 at the maximum Rmax times, 6 open / close cycles are repeated. On the other hand, when the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (odd symbol), the high probability mode is set, and the probability of occurrence of the jackpot gaming state is increased two times, the next time and the next time.
That is, once the high probability mode is set, the probability of occurrence of two big hit gaming states is increased from the next time, but if the big hit gaming state occurs again with an odd symbol during that period, the high probability mode is set. . On the other hand, if a big hit gaming state occurs in the normal symbol (even symbol) after the period has elapsed, the high probability mode ends (switches to the low probability mode).

The CCD camera 230 condenses light from a subject on a CCD (charge coupled device) via a condenser lens 230a, and stores image data as digital data in the memory 220 through photoelectric conversion and A / D conversion. . The control unit 222 is composed of a microcomputer including a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM, and performs Internet processing including processing for making and receiving calls, creation and transmission / reception of e-mails, and browsing of Internet home pages.

The server device 101 is a computer provided in a gaming machine manufacturer and connected to the Internet 102. The server device 101 stores and manages various data related to members of the gaming machine manufacturer. For example, the server device 101 stores and manages premium character acquisition rankings and point data of service points given to each manufacturer member. Is called.

Next, the flow of a player service (specifically, a premium character shooting campaign) provided in the above-described player service providing system 100 will be described. A premium reach arrives while the player is playing with the pachinko machine 1 installed in the game hall, and a premium character 5b is displayed on the symbol variation display device 5.
Is displayed, the player can take the shooting function (CCD camera 230 of the mobile phone 200).
) Is used to photograph the premium character 5b (FIG. 121). Next, the player attaches the photographed image data of the premium character 5b stored in the mobile phone 200 to the e-mail and transmits it to the server device 101 of the gaming machine manufacturer (FIG. 12).
2)).

The server device 101 receives the photographed image data of the premium character 5b attached to the e-mail via the Internet 102 (FIG. 12 3)).
Various data relating to the manufacturer member (player) who is the e-mail sender is updated (FIG. 124). For example, “1” is added to the premium character acquisition number data of the member. At this time, if the premium character acquisition ranking changes, update the premium character acquisition ranking data,
Publish on the internet homepage of the gaming machine manufacturer. In addition, as a privilege for a player who has transmitted premium character image data to a gaming machine manufacturer, a predetermined point is added to the point number balance of service points given to the player.

Therefore, according to the player service providing system 100, using the mobile phone 200 with a photographing function possessed by the player and the Internet 102, the service points are awarded to the player who has acquired the premium character ranking and premium characters. Various services such as granting can be easily realized. Then, by recognizing the acquisition of the premium character as one of the game goals, it is possible to increase the popularity of the pachinko machine 1 and further improve the game motivation of the player.

Then, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the pattern variation display device 5 displays the premium character 5b as a shooting target image shot by the player in the process of step S653 (shooting target image display control means). In addition, in the processing (identification information display control means) in steps S655 to S656, identification information for individually identifying the premium characters 5b as the images to be photographed is displayed together with the premium characters 5b in the dotted line frame in the symbol variation display device 5. Since it is displayed in 5c, when the premium character 5b is photographed by the photographing function of the mobile phone 200, the game machine manufacturer receiving the photographed image data can individually identify the image data. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unauthorized use such as using the same captured image data in duplicate.

Further, since the identification information is displayed as an array of characters, the content of the displayed identification information can be visually recognized by the player himself or a person in charge such as a gaming machine manufacturer who has received the captured image data. In addition, since the gaming machine ID as gaming machine identification information for identifying the gaming machine is displayed, it is possible to reliably identify in which gaming machine the premium character 5b is displayed. Further, since the identification information includes the premium character counter value as unique information given according to a predetermined rule, the premium characters 5b can be reliably identified individually. Since the counter value counted up every time the premium character 5b is displayed is used, unique information can be created easily and reliably without duplication. Further, since the identification information is continuously displayed during the display of the premium character 5b, the identification information can be reliably photographed together with the premium character 5b whenever the premium character 5b is displayed.

Further, in the process (explicit means) of step S654, a dotted frame 5c surrounding the shooting target area including substantially the entire premium character 5b displayed on the screen by the symbol variation display device 5 is displayed, and further, the premium character 5b. Is pointed out by the arrow 5d, the premium character 5b is clearly shown. In addition, the message “Premium character in dotted frame” in the message display area 5f at the bottom of the screen and the message “Shoot this” on the arrow 5d are displayed more reliably. The character 5b is clearly shown. Therefore, the player can surely grasp which image is the premium character 5b as the image to be photographed on the display screen 5a and can photograph using the mobile phone 200 with the photographing function. Therefore, it becomes possible to make the premium character shooting campaign developed by the above-mentioned gaming machine manufacturer effective.

Further, in the processing (notification means) of steps S658 to S659, since the message notification regarding the shooting of the premium character 5b displayed on the screen by the symbol variation display device 5 is performed, the player can perform the shooting function based on the notified message. The premium character 5b can be reliably shot using the attached mobile phone 200.

Further, in the processing (notification means) of steps S658 to S659, since the message regarding the shooting of the premium character 5b is displayed in characters on the symbol variation display device 5, the player is notified by reading the displayed message. It is possible to take a picture with certainty of the contents. Further, since the message is displayed at the timing when the premium character 5b capable of shooting the premium character 5b is displayed, the player can immediately take a picture according to the message.

Further, in the process (notification means) in step S658, a message prompting the player to shoot the premium character is notified, so that the player can know the shooting timing with the message and perform shooting. Step S6
In the process 59 (notification means), the e-mail address of the gaming machine manufacturer that is the transmission destination of the image data obtained by photographing the premium character 5b is notified, so that the notified e-mail address is displayed on the e-mail transmission screen of the mobile phone 200. The image data can be securely transmitted to the game machine maker by attaching it to the e-mail.

Further, since the premium character image is displayed in the premium reach effect in which the big hit is confirmed, the player can shoot the premium character image based on the notification contents while enjoying the big hit. In addition, since the premium character image is continuously displayed for a predetermined time or more during the premium reach production, a time for shooting by the player is secured, so the player surely prepares for shooting and performs shooting. be able to. Furthermore, since the premium reach production is executed for a longer time than other reach productions, a time for shooting by the player is secured, so that the player can surely prepare for shooting and perform shooting. At the same time, you can fully enjoy the finish of the big hit while watching the reach production.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

For example, in the above embodiment, the premium character 5 as the image to be photographed is
Although the identification information for individually identifying b is displayed as characters, the identification information may be displayed as a machine-readable symbol (for example, a one-dimensional or two-dimensional barcode). For example, a two-dimensional barcode generation program is installed in the ROM 22b of the symbol display control board 22, and a two-dimensional barcode symbol is generated based on character string data as identification information (game machine ID and premium character counter value). In the processing of steps S655 to S656 in the flowchart of the reach effect display processing routine shown in FIG. 8, the premium character 5b can be displayed. FIG. 15 shows an example in which the identification information is converted into a two-dimensional bar code and displayed at a substantially central portion of the premium character 5b. According to this modification, since the identification information is displayed as a machine-readable symbol, the premium character 5b is used by using a reader corresponding to the type of symbol.
The identification information can be read more quickly and reliably than the captured image data. Therefore, it is possible to mechanically determine whether or not the captured image data is authentic, and to reliably prevent unauthorized use of the image data. In addition, when the game machine manufacturer operates the above-described campaign for transmitting photographed image data, it is possible to save labor for receiving and checking photographed image data. In addition, since the two-dimensional barcode can express information with high density, when the two-dimensional barcode is adopted as the display mode of the identification information, the size on the screen can be reduced, and the identification information can be displayed. However, there is an advantage that it does not hinder effective presentation display by the premium character 5b.

In the embodiment, the gaming machine ID and the premium character counter value PC are displayed as identification information. However, instead of the premium character counter value PC, the date and time when the premium character 5b is displayed is displayed. You may comprise so that it may display with machine ID. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, a real-time clock 22e for counting the current date and time and a battery 22f for supplying power to the real-time clock 22e are mounted on the symbol display control board 22, and FIG.
Step S656 in the flowchart of the reach effect display processing routine shown in FIG.
In place of the processing of ~ S657, processing for acquiring and displaying the current date and time information from the real-time clock 22e is executed. And according to this modification, for example, FIG.
In the premium reach production screen, as shown in FIG.
At the same time, the gaming machine ID and the date and time information on which the premium character 5b is displayed are displayed. Here, in the identification information display area 5e, the gaming machine ID “1234” is arranged in order from the top.
5 ”and date information“ 2003.5.21 / 20: 30 ”are displayed. FIG.
In the display example, since the date / time information includes not only the year / month / day but also the hour / minute information “20:30”, the premium characters 5b displayed in the same gaming machine are surely individually identified only by the date / time information. be able to. Or as another modification, it is good also as a structure which displays gaming machine ID, date information, and a premium character counter value as identification information. For example, as shown in FIG. 18, the date on which the premium character 5b is displayed and a premium character counter value indicating how many times the premium character 5b is displayed on that day may be displayed. Here, in the identification information display area 5e, the gaming machine ID “
12345 ”, date“ 2003.5.21 ”, and counter value“ 03 ”(numbers after the hyphen) are displayed. In this case, the data size of the counter value is 1
It is only necessary to be able to express the maximum number of times the premium character 5b is displayed on a day. Since the probability of premium reach is extremely small as described above, a relatively small data size (for example, two digits) is used. can do. The real time clock 22e constitutes the timepiece means of the present invention.

Also, as identification information, a gaming machine ID and a premium character counter value PC
In addition to or instead of these, player identification information for identifying a player may be displayed. Specifically, as an external device, as shown in FIG. 19, a ball lending device 5 having a function related to ball lending provided with a card reading unit 52.
1 is installed adjacent to the pachinko machine 1, and as shown in FIG. 20, the interface board 24 is mounted on the pachinko machine 1, and the ball lending device 5 is provided via the communication line 50.
1 and the interface board 24 are connected. When the card reading unit 52 reads a member ID (for example, a member number assigned by a gaming machine manufacturer) as a player identification information from a magnetic card or the like as a member card by the card reader 52, the communication line 50 The member ID is transmitted to the interface board 24 of the pachinko machine 1 via. The interface board 24 sends the received member ID to the symbol display control board 22, and the symbol display control board 22 stores the received member ID in the RAM 22c. Then, in the process of the flowchart of the reach effect display process routine shown in FIG. 8 (for example, between steps S654 and S655), a process of displaying the member ID in the identification information display area 5e is performed. FIG. 21 shows a display example of the premium reach effect screen in the present modification, and in the identification information display area 5e,
In order from the top, the member ID “X11074”, the gaming machine ID “12345”, and the premium character counter value PC “951” (numerical value after the hyphen) are displayed. According to this modification, since the identification information includes the member ID as the player identification information, the player can be reliably recognized in the image data obtained by photographing the premium character 5b as the image to be photographed. The security of image data can be improved. The interface board 24 constitutes player identification information input means and interface means of the present invention. Alternatively, as another modification, the pachinko machine 1 may be provided with an input operation means for performing an input operation of player identification information (for example, a member ID). The input operation means can be constituted by, for example, a touch panel, a keyboard, an infrared input device, or the like. According to this modification, without using an inter-device as an external device,
There is an advantage that player identification information can be input by a single pachinko machine 1.

Moreover, it is good also as a structure which displays the type identification information for identifying the type of the premium character 5b as a to-be-photographed image as identification information. Specifically, in the process of the flowchart of the reach effect display process routine shown in FIG. 8 (for example, between steps S654 and S655), a character string representing the type of premium character 5b is displayed in the identification information display area 5e. Process. FIG. 22 shows a display example of the premium reach effect screen in this modification, and the identification information display area 5
In e, in order from the top, the type identification information “SAM” (premium character 5
b represents SAM (sum)), gaming machine ID “12345”, and premium character counter value PC “951” (numerical value after hyphen) are displayed. According to this modification, for example, even if the entire premium character 5b is not completely included in the captured image data obtained by capturing the premium character 5b, the type identification information is included in the captured image data. The type of the premium character 5b can be identified by the type identification information. This modification is particularly effective when multiple types of premium characters appear in the same gaming machine.

In the embodiment, the identification information is continuously displayed while the premium character 5b is displayed. However, the identification information may be displayed only during a predetermined shooting timing. According to the present modification, the identification information is not displayed except for the predetermined shooting timing, thereby preventing the premium character 5b from interfering with the effective presentation display, and reliably during the predetermined shooting timing. Since the identification information is displayed, the identification information can be reliably photographed together with the premium character 5b.

Further, an operation detection unit for detecting a shooting operation of the player may be provided, and the identification information may be displayed when the shooting operation is detected by the operation detection unit. Here, the operation detecting means can be constituted by, for example, an infrared sensor capable of detecting the approach of a mobile communication terminal or the like. According to this modification, since the identification information is always hidden, it is possible to prevent the premium character 5b from interfering with effective presentation display, and shooting using a mobile communication terminal with a shooting function or the like. Since the identification information is displayed when the motion is detected, the premium character 5
The identification information can be reliably photographed together with b.

Further, switch means operated by the player may be provided, and the identification information may be displayed when the switch means is operated by the player. Here, the switch means can be constituted by, for example, a push button switch. According to this modification, since the identification information is always hidden, it is possible to prevent the premium character 5b from interfering with an effective presentation display, and the switch means is operated as an indication of intention to shoot by the player. Since the identification information is displayed in the case of being performed, the identification information can be reliably photographed together with the premium character 5b. Further, for example, by enabling the switch means only during the shooting campaign period of the premium character 5b and invalidating the switch means during other periods, the identification information, the dotted frame 5c and the arrow 5d are only required during the required period. Or the like.

In the above embodiment, the identification information is always displayed at a constant size. However, the identification information may be enlarged or reduced at a predetermined timing. Here, FIG. 23A shows an example in which the identification information is enlarged and FIG. 23B shows an example in which the identification information is reduced. For example, when the identification information is displayed in a reduced size at a timing other than a predetermined shooting timing (see FIG. 23B), it is possible to prevent the premium character 5b from hindering effective presentation display. On the other hand, the identification information is enlarged and displayed during a predetermined shooting timing (see FIG. 23A).
The player uses a portable communication terminal with a shooting function or the like to use the premium character 5b.
At the same time, the identification information can be photographed large and clearly. And according to the picked-up image data which image | photographed the enlarged identification information, identification information can be read easily and correctly.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it was set as the structure which surrounds the imaging | photography object area | region containing the substantially whole premium character 5b with the dotted-line frame 5c, it replaces with a dotted-line frame and the display enclosed with frame lines, such as a solid line and a chain line, is performed. You may comprise as follows.

In the above-described embodiment, the premium character 5b as the image to be captured is clearly indicated by the display of the dotted line frame 5c and the arrow 5d. However, instead of or in addition to this, the premium as the image to be captured is displayed. It is good also as a structure which blinks and displays the character 5b or its circumference | surroundings. For example, FIG. 24 shows a state where the premium character 5b is blinked. According to this modification, the shooting target image is clearly indicated by the blinking display, so that the player can surely know which image is the shooting target image on the display screen, and the mobile communication terminal with the shooting function Etc. can be used for photographing.

Alternatively, the image to be captured may be specified only by displaying a message for clearly indicating the image to be captured without displaying the dotted frame 5c or the arrow 5d.
Specifically, a message including contents indicating the display position of the premium character as the image to be photographed on the screen, the characteristics of the premium character, and the like is displayed.
For example, FIG. 25 shows a screen display example in which a message “Please shoot Sam in the middle of the screen (Young man in sea bread)!” Is displayed as a message to clearly indicate the image to be captured. Is shown. According to this modification, since the shooting target image is clearly specified by displaying a message for clearly indicating the shooting target image, the player can determine which image is the shooting target image on the display screen. Can be reliably grasped, and photographing can be performed using a portable communication terminal or the like with a photographing function. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which provides the audio | voice generation apparatus and outputs the message for specifying the imaging | photography object image by audio | voice. Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which outputs another message regarding imaging | photography of the premium character 5b.

In the embodiment, the premium character 5b as the image to be captured is used.
In the example shown in FIG. 5, the premium character 5b is displayed on the screen 5a.
While displaying on the aspect accompanied by the movement on a, you may comprise so that the dotted-line frame 5c and the arrow 5d may be moved and displayed according to the movement of the premium character 5b. For example, FIG. 26 (a) shows a state in which the premium character 5b is displayed at the center of the screen 5a, and FIG. 26 (b) shows a state in which the premium character 5b has moved leftward on the screen 5a. Yes. As shown in FIG. 26B, the dotted frame 5c and the arrow 5d are displayed to move to the left as the premium character 5b moves to the left. According to this modification, shooting with a higher degree of difficulty than shooting a still image in which the premium character 5b as a shooting target image moves on the screen 5a and must follow the moving premium character 5b. It is possible to further improve the interests of the game.
Further, since the dotted frame 5c and the arrow 5d are moved and displayed in accordance with the movement of the premium character 5b, the player can move the premium character 5b moving on the screen 5a.
Can be surely recognized as an object to be photographed and photographing can be performed using a portable communication terminal or the like with a photographing function. By using this modification, for example, a game machine manufacturer can develop a campaign “Let's shoot moving premium characters!”.

In the above-described modification, the identification information is moved and displayed in accordance with the movement of the premium character 5b as the image to be photographed, so that the player can surely photograph the identification information together with the premium character 5b that moves on the screen. be able to.
Alternatively, when the premium character 5b moves within the shooting target area indicated by the dotted frame 5c, the identification information may be displayed at a fixed position in the shooting target area.

Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it was set as the structure which performs message alerting | reporting regarding imaging | photography while displaying the premium character 5b, message alerting | reporting is performed for the premium character 5b.
You may comprise so that it may carry out in advance before the screen display of b. The notice message is displayed as, for example, “Premium character will appear soon. Please take out the mobile phone and prepare for shooting.” According to this modification, the player can prepare the mobile phone 200 in advance before displaying the premium character 5b, and can reliably perform shooting without missing the timing.

In the above embodiment, the e-mail address of the gaming machine manufacturer that is the transmission destination of the photographed image data of the premium character is notified. However, as shown in the display example of FIG. It is good also as a structure which alert | reports (URL). In the present modification, the notified URL can be input on the Internet browsing screen of the mobile phone 200, and the image data can be transmitted by accessing the Internet home page of a gaming machine manufacturer or the like as the image data transmission destination.

In the embodiment or the modified example, the email address of the gaming machine manufacturer that is the transmission destination of the captured image data of the premium character or the U of the gaming machine manufacturer
