Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming system including at least a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine or a slot machine and a portable terminal device for use by a player who can play a game on the gaming machine.

  The pachinko gaming machine performs a jackpot lottery when the game ball launched into the game area wins the start winning opening, and is controlled to the jackpot gaming state by winning the lottery. In addition, there are two types of jackpots: normal jackpots and more favorable probability variation jackpots. When the probability variation jackpot is reached, the gaming state after the jackpot gaming state is over, the next jackpot lottery probability is higher than normal. It is controlled to the probability fluctuation state which becomes high. The occurrence of such a big hit is often indicated by stopping a plurality of symbols variably displayed on a display device such as a liquid crystal display with the same type of symbols.

  Also, in the slot machine, the reel starts to rotate when the player operates the start lever, and the rotation of the reel is stopped by the player operating the stop button provided for each reel. A winning is generated according to the display mode derived when the rotation of the reel is stopped. Some of the winnings are accompanied by a transition to a gaming state advantageous to the player, such as a bonus.

  Whether or not to win a big hit in a pachinko machine has already been decided at the time of starting the special figure game, but usually the player will not know until the final display result of the variable display of the symbol is derived. Absent. In addition to such a jackpot decision, it is assumed that the internal state of whether or not it is determined to be in a gaming state advantageous to the player in a pachinko machine (including the case where it is already controlled) is unknown. There is also a probability variation latent state where it is not known whether or not the state is controlled to the probability variation state.

  Further, in order to generate a bonus winning in the slot machine, as a precondition, a bonus winning flag must be set by winning an internal lottery performed when the start lever is operated. However, it is not known to the player whether or not the bonus winning flag is set until a definite notification is made by derivation of a so-called reach eye. In addition to such bonus lottery, it is assumed that the internal state of whether or not it is determined to be in a gaming state advantageous to the player in the slot machine (including the case where it is already controlled) There are also the determination of the right of the AT to notify the winning combination of the advantageous RT and disadvantaged RT and the winning combination of the advantageous RT puncture.

  An effect device provided in the gaming machine as a notification to the player, although the internal state of whether or not a gaming state advantageous to the player has been determined (including the case where it is already controlled) is unknown. If the two-dimensional code is displayed on the image display device provided in the gaming machine and the server device is accessed from the mobile phone that has captured the two-dimensional code, it is notified whether the probability variation state is controlled on the screen of the mobile phone. There was a gaming system to be played (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2007-44072 (FIGS. 7, 9, 10, etc.)

  However, in the gaming system of Patent Document 1, the display of the two-dimensional code on the image display device included in the gaming machine is only once and once, and the work of photographing this with a mobile phone is monotonous. . Further, the information obtained from the server device after sending the captured two-dimensional code by accessing the server device is relatively simple such as whether or not it is controlled to the probability variation state, and is not interesting.

  The present invention provides a gaming system including a gaming machine and a portable terminal device that is used by a player who can play a game on the gaming machine, and acquires specific information output from the gaming machine on the portable terminal device.

The first specific display result, the second specific display result, the third specific display result, and the fourth specific display result may include symbols that are relatively easy to understand for the player, such as numbers “0” to “9”. However, the combination of lighting / non-lighting of seven segments that cannot be recognized as meaningful characters is also adopted, and it is very difficult to specify the type of jackpot from the display results of the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. It has become a thing.

  After the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the first jackpot gaming state described later. After the first jackpot gaming state ends, the gaming state is controlled to the short-time state (a state in which the time for displaying the variation of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened) until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs. In addition, the gaming state is controlled to a probability variation state in which the jackpot probability is higher than the normal gaming state (or the short time state in which the probability variation state is not established).

  After the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the first jackpot gaming state described later. After the first jackpot gaming state ends, the gaming state is controlled to the short-time state (a state in which the time for displaying the variation of the special symbol and the normal symbol is shortened) until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs. In addition, the gaming state is controlled to the above-described probability variation state.

  After the third specific display result (suddenly probable big hit symbol) is displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to the second big hit gaming state described later. After the end of the second jackpot gaming state, until the next jackpot (regardless of the type) occurs, the gaming state is controlled to a short time state (a state in which the time for changing the display of special symbols and normal symbols is shortened). In addition, the gaming state is controlled to the above-described probability variation state.

  After displaying the fourth specific display result (short-time big hit symbol) on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the gaming state is controlled to a first big hit gaming state to be described later. After the end of the first jackpot gaming state, the gaming state is controlled in a short-time state until the variable symbol display is performed 100 times on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, but the jackpot probability until the next jackpot occurrence is usually set It is controlled to the normal gaming state (becomes lower than the jackpot probability of the probability variation state). The occurrence of any type of jackpot in the normal gaming state is referred to as first hit.

  Further, the variable display device 9 performs variable display in which decorative symbols (for example, 10 types “0” to “9”) are scrolled vertically in three decorative symbol display areas 9 a to 9 c arranged in the horizontal direction. Is going. The variable display device 9 is a variable display device for displaying the contents of the variable display performed by the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b to the player with enhanced effects by the variable symbol display. As long as the variation display of the special symbol is continued on the special symbol display 10a, 10b, even if the variation display of the decoration symbol is temporarily stopped (temporary stop), the definite display result for the big hit lottery and the big hit type lottery is obtained. It has never been shown.

  Further, in the variable display device 9, effects such as display of characters (various notice effects such as reach notice and reach effect display) are performed or the decorative symbols are variably displayed as the decorative symbols are variably displayed. When this is done, a marker which will be described later is displayed. The variable display device 9 is also used for displaying an image in the jackpot effect, in addition to displaying the decorative symbol in accordance with the special symbol variable display.

  The control from the first jackpot gaming state to the probability fluctuation state (+ short time) can be performed both by displaying the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) and by displaying the second specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol). There is no change in the control of the gaming state. However, when the first specific display result (probability variation jackpot symbol) is displayed on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the decorative symbols displayed on the variable display device 9 at this time are aligned with “1” or “7”. For example, it is notified that the state is controlled to the probability variation state.

  On the other hand, when the second specific display result (probability change promotion jackpot symbol) is displayed, the fourth specific display result (temporal bonus jackpot symbol) is displayed as the decorative symbol displayed on the variable display device 9 at this time. Similarly to the time, it is not notified that the probability variation state is controlled by arranging with symbols other than “1” or “7”. When the fourth specific display result (the symbol for winning the time and college) is displayed, the decorative symbol displayed on the variable display device 9 is a symbol other than “1” or “7”. The fact that it is controlled to the probability fluctuation state is notified in the jackpot effect.

  When the third specific display result (suddenly probable big hit symbol) is displayed, the decorative symbols displayed on the variable display device 9 are displayed in the same three decorative symbols as when the special symbols are displayed on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b. It has become the aspect which is not prepared. Note that in the second jackpot game state controlled by sudden probability change jackpot, the opening of the big prize opening 21 ends in a very short period, and the lost symbol is displayed until the start of the next variation display without executing the jackpot effect. Keep it as However, when the second jackpot gaming state ends and the next variation display is started, the probability variation state is controlled.

  Further, when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display device 10a or 10b and the variable display device 9 is performing the variable symbol display, the decorative lamps 25a to 25c are turned on or the accessory 26 is displayed. There is a case where an effect by driving is performed. The effects executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are roughly divided into a notice and a notice. The notice is a notice that the contents indicated by the notice may occur, and is indicated by the notice. It is distinguished from notifications that are notifications that definitely indicate that content will occur. However, it only shows the possibility until the end of a series of productions, but if a final announcement is made at the final part of the series of productions, the final part will be announced and the part before it will be announced It will be a production with meaning.

  A game ball enters the start winning opening 14a, 14b in the lower display area of the display area of the variable display device 9, but the start condition is still satisfied, but the start condition of the special symbol indicators 10a, 10b (for example, the previous special display) The number of reserved memories stored in the RAM 55 (see FIG. 3) of the main board 31 to be described later as the number of times that the start condition is not established (end of symbol variation display, end of jackpot gaming state) is established. Special symbol hold storage display sections 11a and 11b are set as display means.

  The special symbol hold storage display unit 11a includes a display unit of four icons, and every time there is an effective start win (start win when the hold storage number is less than 4 in the present embodiment) to the start winning port 14a, Each time an icon to be displayed is added to the right side of the currently displayed icon and the special symbol display on the special symbol display device 10a is started, the icon displayed on the leftmost side (started this time) (The one corresponding to the variable display) is deleted, and the other displayed icons are shifted to the left one by one and displayed. That is, the number of icons to be displayed is reduced by one. Similarly, for the special symbol hold storage display unit 11b, every time there is an effective start winning in the start winning opening 14b, the number of icons is increased by one, and the special symbol display unit 10b starts the variable symbol variable display. Reduce the icon by one.

  In the RAM 55 (see FIG. 3), the jackpot extracted by the CPU 56 (see FIG. 3) of the main board 31 when the special symbol start condition in the special symbol display device 10a is established (the hit ball wins the start winning opening 14a). Four pending storage buffers are provided for storing the extraction order of various random numbers such as random numbers for determination in an identifiable manner. The special symbol hold storage display unit 11a displays the number of hold storage buffers (holding storage number) in which various random numbers are stored among the hold storage buffers so as to be specified. In the reserved storage buffer, numerical data for which the start condition (for example, the end of the previous special symbol variation display, the end of the jackpot gaming state) is not established among the extracted random numbers is set as a predetermined upper limit number. Up to 4 are stored. A similar reserved memory buffer is provided for the special symbol reserved memory display unit 11b.

  The winning balls that have entered the starting winning ports 14a and 14b are respectively guided to the back of the game board 6 and detected by starting port switches 62a and 62b (see FIG. 3). The variable winning device 15 is opened by a solenoid 71 (see FIG. 3). The variable winning device 15 is opened by the solenoid 71 in accordance with the result of the normal symbol variation display described later, thereby making it easier for the game ball to win the start winning opening 14b (easier to start winning) and for the player. This is an advantageous state.

  The special variable prize-winning device 20 is movable by a solenoid 72 (see FIG. 3) and is in an acceptable state in which a game ball can be won in the big prize opening 21 and in an unacceptable state in which a game ball cannot be won in the big prize opening 21. The large winning opening 21 is opened in the acceptable state. Further, the winning ball guided from the special variable winning device 20 to the back of the game board 6 is detected by the count switch 63 (see FIG. 3). A solenoid 73 (see FIG. 3) for switching the route in the special winning opening 21 is also provided on the back of the game board 6.

  In the first jackpot gaming state, the special variable prize winning device 20 is in a state in which the big prize opening 21 is opened until a predetermined time elapses from the opening of the big prize opening 21 or until a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls wins. And Until a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds in the first jackpot gaming state, 1 second in the second jackpot gaming state) has elapsed after the grand prize winning opening 21 is opened or closed, or a predetermined number (for example, ten) of hit balls One round is required until winning the big prize opening 21. The first jackpot gaming state is a gaming state in which the opening of the big winning opening 21 is repeatedly provided for a predetermined number of times (for example, 15 times).

  The special variable prize-winning device 20 also opens the prize winning opening 21 only twice in a very short time (for example, about 0.2 to 0.5 seconds) in the second jackpot gaming state. The gaming state before being controlled to the probability variation state when a sudden probability change big hit is this second big hit gaming state. In the second jackpot gaming state, the opening of the grand prize winning opening 21 is performed only for a very short period. Therefore, when one hit ball is finished without winning the big winning prize opening 21, it is controlled to the probability variation state. In many cases, the player is not aware of the fact that the game is controlled to the second big hit gaming state.

  Further, on the left side of the game area 7, a round number display 19 including a pair of LEDs labeled “15” and “2” is provided. This round number display 19 displays the number of rounds of the jackpot gaming state to be generated (15 and 2 rounds in the first and second jackpot gaming states, respectively). On the other hand, on the right side of the game area 7, a normal symbol display 12 comprising a pair of left and right LEDs labeled “◯” and “x” is provided. The normal symbol display 12 can variably display a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “x”) called normal symbols.

  When it is detected by the gate switch 61 (see FIG. 3) that the game ball has passed through the gates 28a and 28b, a random number for normal symbol determination is extracted and mounted on the main board 31 (see FIG. 3). In the normal symbol buffer of FIG. In this embodiment, the upper limit of the number of random numbers for determination per normal symbol that can be stored in the normal symbol buffer of the RAM 55 (see FIG. 3) is four. If the normal symbol display 12 can start the variable display in which the normal symbol display state changes ("○" and "x" are alternately turned on) (the end of the previous variable display in the normal symbol display 12). Then, the normal symbol display unit 12 starts to display the variation of the normal symbol.

  Above the normal symbol display 12, a normal symbol holding storage indicator having a predetermined number (four in this embodiment) of LEDs for displaying the number of random numbers for determination per ordinary symbol stored in the normal symbol buffer. 13 is provided. When the gate switch 61 detects that the game ball has passed through the gates 28a and 28b and a new random number for determining the normal symbol is stored, the normal symbol storage memory display 13 increases the number of LEDs to be turned on by one. . The number of LEDs that are lit is reduced by 1 every time the normal symbol display 12 starts to display fluctuations of normal symbols (for example, “◯” and “x”).

  In the normal symbol display 12, the left and right lamps marked with ○ and X (the symbols become visible when lit) are alternately lit, so that the fluctuation of the normal symbol is performed. For example, if the time-short state is 2.9 seconds, otherwise it is 29.2 seconds). If the left lamp with a circle is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a win. When the display result of the variable display on the normal symbol display 12 is a win, the variable winning device 15 is only for a predetermined time (for example, 2.9 seconds in the short time state, 1.4 seconds in the short time state). It becomes an open state.

  Whether or not to win the result of the normal symbol variation display is determined by the value of the random number for determination per normal symbol extracted when the game ball passes through the gates 28a and 28b and is detected by the gate switch 61. Is determined according to whether or not the value matches a predetermined judgment value per ordinary symbol. The hit probability is very high (for example, 35/36) in the short-time state, but is low (for example, 1/36) if it is not the short-time state. In the short-time state, since the percentage of the variable winning device 15 being in the open state is very high in this way, the number of game balls held by the player is not reduced (or even if it is reduced, the reduction amount is very small). The game is ready to proceed.

  Winning holes 29a to 29d are provided on the left and lower sides of the gate 28a and on the lower and right sides of the gate 28b, respectively. When it is detected by the winning port switch 64 (see FIG. 3) that a game ball has won the winning ports 29a to 29d, a predetermined number of gaming balls are paid out. The payout of the game ball is also performed by winning the game ball to the start winning ports 14a and 14b and the big winning port 21, but is not performed even if the game ball passes through the gates 28a and 28b.

  In the lower part of the game area 7 of the game board 6, there is provided an out port 30 into which a hit ball that has not won a prize is taken. In addition, two speakers 27 that utter sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 7.

  Hereinafter, with regard to the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 constituting the gaming system according to this embodiment, in particular, the special symbol variation display on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b and the decorative symbol variation display on the variable display device 9 will be described. To do. Whether or not the result of the change display of the special symbol is a jackpot, and if it is a jackpot, which type of jackpot is to be selected, and which of the special pattern change pattern is to be extracted at the start winning prize Based on various random numbers (a jackpot determination random number, a jackpot type determination random number, a variation type determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number) when a special symbol variation display start condition is established in the special symbol displays 10a and 10b To be determined.

  First, the determination of jackpot will be described. FIG. 6A is a diagram showing a jackpot determination table stored in the ROM 54. Whether or not the result of the special symbol variation display is a jackpot is determined based on the jackpot determination table of FIG. 6A and a jackpot determination random number among random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning (random R: 0 to 65535). And is determined based on the value of. In normal time (non-probability fluctuation), if the value of the jackpot determination random number is 1000 to 1059 or 13320 to 13477, it is determined to be a jackpot, otherwise it is determined to be lost. decide. On the other hand, at the time of probability variation, if the value of the jackpot determination random number is 1020-1519 or 13320-15004, it is determined to be a jackpot, and if it is any other value, it is determined to be lost.

  Next, determination of the jackpot type will be described. FIG. 6B and FIG. 6C are diagrams showing a jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 54. Here, FIG. 6 (b) is a jackpot type determination table for determining the jackpot type when the special symbol display 10b performs variable symbol display, and FIG. 6 (c) shows the special symbol display. 12 is a jackpot type determination table for determining a jackpot type when the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner on the device 10a.

  When the special symbol display 10b is used to display the variation of the special symbol, if it is determined that the result of the variation display of the special symbol based on the random number for jackpot determination and the table for jackpot determination is determined to be a jackpot, the start prize is further awarded. If the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random Q: 0-9) among the random numbers extracted from time to time is 0, 3, 5 or 7, it is determined as a probability variation jackpot, and if it is 1, it is determined as a probabilistic promotion jackpot If it is 9, it is determined that it is suddenly a promising jackpot, and if it is 2, 4, 6 or 8, it is determined that it is a jackpot.

  On the other hand, when the special symbol display is performed by the special symbol display device 10a, if it is determined that the result of the special symbol variation display is based on the jackpot determination random number and the jackpot determination table, If the value of the jackpot type determination random number (random Q: 0-9) among the random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning is 3, 5 or 7, it is determined as a probability variation jackpot, and if it is 1, it is determined as a probable promotion jackpot If it is 0 or 9, it is suddenly determined to be a promiscuous jackpot, and if it is 2, 4, 6 or 8, it is determined to be a jackpot.

  By the way, in the probability variation state, a big hit is made with a probability of 1/30. However, until the new jackpot is generated, the special symbol variation display is executed without restriction on the number of times of execution. In the short time state, the percentage that the variable winning device 15 is in the open state is very high, and the start winning opening 14b for causing the special symbol display 10b to be given priority over the special symbol display 10a to display the variation of the special symbol. Reservation memory due to winning a prize is rarely interrupted. Further, since the time during which the first jackpot gaming state is controlled is very long, there is almost no exception, and the holding storage by winning of the start winning opening 14a until the first jackpot gaming state is ended is also the starting winning opening 14b. Reservation memory by winning a prize will be full.

  When the special symbol display 10a displays the variation of the special symbol, the probability of the probability variation jackpot or the probability variation promotion jackpot is 2/5 (= 4/10) in the case of the jackpot, whereas the special symbol indicator 10a is special. When the special symbol variation display is performed on the symbol display 10b, the probability of the probability variation jackpot or the probability variation promotion jackpot is ½ (= 5/10) of the jackpot. In other words, once a probability variation jackpot or a probabilistic promotion jackpot occurs, after the first jackpot gaming state based on it ends, the player can acquire more game balls through the first jackpot gaming state. As a result, the ratio of the probability fluctuation state is high.

  When the results of the jackpot lottery and the jackpot type lottery are finalized, the variation pattern type is determined based on these determination results and the variation type determination random number value, and the variation pattern determination random number value extracted at the time of starting winning Based on this, the variation pattern is determined. There are three types of variation patterns: non-reach loss, normal reach, and super reach when it is determined to lose.

  When it is determined that the probability change jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the hourly jackpot, there are two types, normal reach and super reach. When it is determined that the sudden probability change is a big hit, it is one type of sudden probability change, but this is basically the same as non-reach loss regarding the variation of the decorative pattern. It should be noted that the long reach of the variation patterns belonging to the normal reach type and the variation patterns belonging to the super reach type require a longer time for the variation display than the other variation patterns.

  As described above, when the first, second, or fourth specific display result is derived on the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, that is, when the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short time jackpot occurs, the first jackpot gaming state However, even if a start prize that causes this probability fluctuation jackpot, probabilistic promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot occurs, the change display of the special symbol (also decorative pattern) based on the previous start prize Is sometimes done. In this case, the right to perform variable display based on the start winning (various random numbers extracted at the time of starting winning) is stored on hold, but the fact that it is stored is displayed on the special symbol hold storage display units 11a and 11b. Thus, the player is notified.

  The display of icons on the special symbol storage and display units 11a and 11b, the variable display of the decorative symbols on the variable display device 9, and the jackpot effect are executed by the display control CPU of the display control board 80. However, since the display of these icons and various effects are performed in accordance with the progress of the game, display control is performed from the CPU 56 in accordance with the progress of the game by the CPU 56 of the main board 31 including the above various decisions. It is transmitted to the display control CPU of the substrate 80.

  That is, when a game ball wins at the start winning opening 14a or 14b, whether or not a big hit is determined by the jackpot determination random number extracted at this time (in addition, the jackpot type determined by the jackpot type determination random number is determined). And a variation pattern selected by a variation type determination random number value, a type of a start winning opening where a game ball has been won, and a start prize associated with the number of reserved memories after the start prize A command is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80.

  When a game ball wins a winning opening 29a-29d, a normal winning command indicating the type of winning opening is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80. When the chance button 16 is operated, a chance button command to that effect is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80.

  In addition, when the special symbol display 10a or 10b is started to display the variation display of the special symbol, the starting winning prize which has been started, whether to be a big hit in this variation display and the type of jackpot, and the determined variation A start time command indicating a pattern is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80. Further, when the game state changes, a game state command indicating the changed game state is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80.

  In addition, when the first specific display result to the sixth specific display result are derived to the special symbol display 10a or 10b and controlled to the jackpot gaming state, the jackpot round indicating the number of rounds when each round is started A command is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80. At the end of each round, a round end command indicating the end of the round is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80.

  Furthermore, when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned on, if the data at the time of the previous power-off is not cleared and stored in the RAM 55, the state at the time of the power-off (the reserved storage of the start winning ports 14a and 14b is stored). If the RAM 55 has been cleared from the initial state (the number of the reserved winning openings 14a and 14b is 0), the game progress is started. A startup command including information that can specify the number of reserved memories and the gaming state of the start winning ports 14a and 14b is transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31 to the display control CPU of the display control board 80. Yes.

  When the display control CPU of the display control board 80 receives the start command, the display control CPU selects the type of decorative design that is finally stopped, and the variable display device 9 displays the decorative design in a variable pattern indicated by the start command. Then, the selected type of decorative design is displayed on the variable display device 9 to show the result of the variable display. When decorative symbols are displayed in a predetermined variation pattern (for example, a variation pattern that requires a certain time or longer, such as long reach or super reach), a notice effect such as reach notice is performed in a predetermined period.

  There are several types of notice effects, but one of them is a marker that can be used to identify whether the change display is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot (provided that the player Is displayed on the variable display device 9, and the marker is photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300, the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot confidence in the variation display. Includes a shooting notice showing the degree.

  FIG. 7 is a view showing a selection table for the notice effect for selecting the kind of the notice effect executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1. As shown in the figure, the selection ratio of the type of the notice effect varies depending on whether the fluctuation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot. That is, when the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot, or the time-saving jackpot, no notice, notice A, notice B, and shooting notice are selected at the ratios a0, a1, a2, and a3, respectively. On the other hand, when a loss occurs (including a case where a sudden probable big hit is included), no notice, notice A, notice B, and shooting notice are selected at the ratios b0, b1, b2, and b3, respectively.

  Here, the selection ratios a0 to a3 and b0 to b3 of the notice effects are a0 + a1 + a2 + a3 = 1, b0 + b1 + b2 + b3 = 1, but a1> b1, a2> b2, and a3> b3, and the probability variation big hit, When the probability change promotion jackpot or the short-term jackpot wins, the notice effect is executed more frequently than when the player loses. In addition, a3 / (a3 + b3)> a2 / (a2 + b2)> a1 / (a1 + b1), and particularly when the shooting advance notice is executed, the ratio of the probability variation big hit, the probable change promotion big hit or the short-term big hit is very high. The values of a3 and b3 are set so that about half of them are jackpots for probability fluctuation, jackpots for probable change, or jackpots for time.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a display mode of markers displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the decorative symbol variation display is performed. There are two different types of markers, two-dimensional code and character, and when the execution of the shooting notice is decided, one of them can be selected at a predetermined rate (equal or different) Then, the marker of the selected type is displayed on the variable display device 9 in the display mode described below.

  Both the two-dimensional code marker and the character marker indicate, as information, information indicating whether or not the probability display jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot in the variation display, and the order displayed on the variable display device 9. Information and included. However, there are various types of two-dimensional codes in the first place, which part of the code indicates whether the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is indicated. It is virtually impossible for the player to determine whether the displayed order is shown.

  In addition, there are various types of characters that are displayed as markers, and the variable display device determines whether or not the probability variation jackpot, probable change promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot is based on the difference in the form of the character. It is substantially impossible for the player to determine the order displayed in FIG. For example, in two types of characters that do not change at first glance, one indicates a probability change jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot or a time bonus, and the other does not a probability change jackpot, a probability change promotion jackpot or a time bonus It shows that.

  Whether the two-dimensional code is displayed as a marker or the character is displayed as a marker, there is no difference in the display position, time, and other aspects other than the form of the marker. The case where it displays as a marker is shown as an example. Note that FIG. 8 is merely an example of the marker display mode, and various patterns can occur in the locus of the position where each marker is displayed (what time locus is displayed). The case will be the same).

  Note that in FIGS. 8A to 8F, decorative symbols are not drawn in order to make the markers easy to see, but in actuality, decorative symbols that are variably displayed are also displayed. Further, in FIGS. 8A to 8F, the markers displayed on the variable display device 9 are drawn with numbers 1, 2, and 3 in □ for easy understanding of the order. The squares that are actually displayed are two-dimensional codes, not numbers.

  First, as shown in FIG. 8A, the variable display device 9 starts displaying the decorative symbols in a variable manner. Next, as shown in FIG. 8B, after the predetermined time, the display of the first marker 401 is started from an arbitrary position on the variable display device 9, and the display position is moved. As shown in FIG. 8C, after a predetermined time from the start of display of the first marker 401, display of the second marker 402 is also started from an arbitrary position on the variable display device 9, and the display position is changed. I will move it. Further, as shown in FIG. 8D, the display of the third marker 403 is also started from an arbitrary position on the variable display device 9 after a predetermined time since the display of the second marker 402 is started. Move the position. The markers 401 to 403 are all displayed with a predetermined size.

  Thereafter, as shown in FIGS. 8E to 8G, after a predetermined time from the start of display of the third marker 403, the first display of the marker 401 is deleted from the variable display device 9. Further, after a predetermined time from there, the marker 402 that has been started to be displayed second is deleted from the variable display device 9, and after that, the marker 403 that has been started to be displayed after the predetermined time is also displayed from the variable display device 9. The display is erased. The time during this period is about several seconds, and the player follows the markers 401 to 403 moved and displayed on the variable display device 9 and points the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300, and the images of the markers 401 to 403 are still images. It is necessary to shoot and take it into the mobile phone 300.

  When both the two-dimensional code marker and the character marker are photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300 with a predetermined size or more and without significant blurring, the marker photographed by the application program of the mobile phone 300 By analyzing the image, it is possible to specify whether or not the variation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation jackpot, or a short-time jackpot, and the order in which the markers are displayed on the variable display device 9. ing.

  If the marker photographed by the photographing device 307 is too small or blurring, whether or not the variation display shows a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot, and the order displayed on the variable display device 9 May not be identified. Although two or three markers can be displayed on the variable display device 9 at the same time, even if a plurality of markers are simultaneously photographed by the photographing device 307, the probability variation big hit, the probable change promotion big hit, or the short and long time big hit will be given in the variable display. Whether or not and the order of display on the variable display device 9 cannot be specified, and in order to be able to specify these, the markers must be photographed one by one.

  In the mobile phone 300, when the marker displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is photographed as described above, according to the photographed marker, the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot, It is assumed that the reliability for winning the time is displayed on the display device 306 and shown to the player. However, the reliability displayed on the display device 306 does not always correctly indicate the reliability that is the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot, or the time-saving jackpot in the variation display. This is because the reliability (precautionary content) displayed according to the following table is selected.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a notice content selection table stored in the ROM 302 as application program data of the mobile phone 300. As the notice content selection table, a table that is applied when the marker type is a two-dimensional code and a table that is applied when the marker type is a character are prepared separately. This is shown in (a) and FIG. 9 (b).

  The notice contents selected according to the notice contents selection table include three types of reliability, high / medium / low, which are probability variation jackpots, probability variation jackpots, and short-term jackpots. The number and order of markers photographed by 307 (one, two, three out of order, three in accordance with the order) and the marker photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300, the probability variation jackpot and the probability variation promotion in the variation display. It will be selected depending on whether or not it has been determined that it will be a big hit or a short and big win.

  In the notice content selection table when the marker type shown in FIG. 9A is a two-dimensional code, the probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot is determined from the marker photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300. If the number of markers is one, A1, A2, and A3, respectively, have high reliability / medium / low reliability. When the number of markers is 2, the ratio is A4, A5, A6, respectively. When the number of markers is 3 and the order is different, the ratio is A7, A8, A9, respectively, and the number of markers is 3. When the numbers are in order, they are selected at a ratio of 1, 0, and 0, respectively.

  When it is specified from the marker photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300 that the fluctuation display does not result in a probability variation jackpot, a probability change promotion jackpot, or a time saving jackpot, a confidence that becomes a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation jackpot or a time saving jackpot High / Medium / Low, but when the number of markers is one, the ratio of B1, B2, and B3 respectively, and when the number of markers is two, the ratio of B4, B5, and B6, respectively. When the number is three and the order is different, the ratio is selected as B7, B8, and B9. When the number of markers is three and the order is selected, the ratio is selected as 0, 0, and 1, respectively.

  Further, in the notice content selection table in the case where the marker type shown in FIG. 9B is a character, the probability variation jackpot, the probability change jackpot or the time bonus jackpot in the variation display from the marker photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300 is used. If the number of markers is one, A1, A2, and A3, respectively, have high reliability / medium / low reliability. When the number of markers is two, the ratio is A4 ′ (≠ A4), A5 ′ (≠ A5), A6 ′ (≠ A6), and the number of markers is three and the order is different. When A7 ′ (≠ A7), A8 ′ (≠ A8), and A9 ′ (≠ A9), the number of markers is three and the order is 1, 0, and 0, respectively. That.

  When it is specified from the marker photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300 that the fluctuation display does not result in a probability variation jackpot, a probability change promotion jackpot, or a time saving jackpot, a confidence that becomes a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation jackpot or a time saving jackpot Although the degree is high / medium / low, when the number of markers is 1, the ratio is B1, B2, and B3, respectively, and when the number of markers is 2, B4 ′ (≠ B4) and B5 ′ (≠ B5), B6 ′ (≠ B6), and when the number of markers is three and the order is different, B7 ′ (≠ B7), B8 ′ (≠ B8), and B9 ′ (≠ B9), respectively. When the number of markers is three and in the order, they are selected at a ratio of 0, 0, 1 respectively.

  Here, the selection ratios A1 to A9 and A4 ′ to A9 ′ include A1 <A4 <A7 <1, A3> A6> A9> 0, A1 <A4 ′ <A7 ′ <1, A3> A6 ′> A9 ′. When there is a relationship> 0 and the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot or the hourly jackpot is actually high, the higher the number of markers, the higher the ratio of reporting that the reliability is high. If it is a piece, it is higher when taken in order. On the other hand, the rate of notification that the reliability is low is lower as the number of markers is larger, and is lower when photographing is performed in order if the number of markers is three.

  The selection ratios B1 to B9 and B4 ′ to B9 ′ include B1> B4> B7> 0, B3 <B6 <B9 <1, B1> B4 ′> B7 ′> 0, B3 <B6 ′ <B9 ′ < If there is a relationship of 1 and there is an actual loss (including the case of suddenly probable big hit), the rate of notification that the reliability is low is higher as the number of markers is higher, and the number of markers is the same 3 If it is a piece, it is higher when taken in order. On the other hand, the rate of notification that the reliability is high is lower as the number of markers is larger, and when the number of markers is the same three, the rate of shooting in order is lower.

  As described above, the accuracy of the advance notice displayed on the display device 306 of the mobile phone 300 depends on whether or not the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot is true (credibility as information) The higher the number of markers photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300, the higher the number of markers obtained in order as long as the number of markers is three.

  Each value of the selection ratios A4 to A9 is different from each value of the selection ratios A4 ′ to A9 ′, and each value of the selection ratios B4 to B9 is different from each value of the selection ratios B4 ′ to B9 ′. Yes. For this reason, when the type of marker displayed on the variable display device 9 is a two-dimensional code and when it is a character, the number of markers photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300 is two. And the three pieces are out of order, the credibility as the information of the notice content is different.

  The selection ratios A1 to A9, A4 ′ to A9 ′, B1 to B9, and B4 ′ to B9 ′ depend on the number and order of markers obtained by photographing the credibility of the notice content by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300. However, if the reliability is shown to be high, the overall probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot ratio is the probability of the probability fluctuation jackpot if the reliability is indicated as medium. If the reliability is higher than the probability of being a probabilistic promotion jackpot or short-term junior high, the overall probability of probability variation jackpot, probability-promoting jackpot or short-term jackpot is low, In the case where it is indicated that the probability is higher than the rate of probability change jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot, the value is set within a range not to lose. It is.

  By the way, the marker photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300 is displayed for a certain period after photographing (the first marker is displayed on the variable display device 9 in one variable display, and then the third marker is displayed and erased). When a period slightly longer than the period until the expiration is passed, the expiration date has passed and it is discarded. However, even if the marker is discarded, the reliability display based on the marker is continued.

  In addition, when a plurality of markers within the expiration date are stored in the RAM 303, all the information regarding whether or not the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the hourly jackpot is not the same in the variation display specified from each marker Alternatively, when the types of the markers do not all match, the probability display jackpot, probability variation jackpot or time-short jackpot is not displayed in the variation display, and a predetermined error is displayed on the display device 306. When a plurality of markers are stored in the RAM 303 that do not match or whether the types of probability change jackpots, probability change jackpots, or short-time jackpots in the change display do not match or the types do not match, an error display is displayed for these markers. Everything will be destroyed after it is broken.

  Hereinafter, processing in the gaming system according to this embodiment will be described. The pachinko gaming machine 1 constituting the gaming system according to this embodiment can play a game independently regardless of whether or not the gaming system according to this embodiment is systematically used. Therefore, before describing the processing in the entire gaming system, processing performed for the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described.

  First, processing at the time of power activation will be described. When the pachinko gaming machine 1 is activated with the main switch 94 turned on with the reset switch 93 turned on, all the storage areas of the RAM 55 except for the in-use stack area are initialized. Here, when the RAM 55 is initialized, it becomes a gaming state that is not controlled in either the probability variation state or the short time state. And the process for advancing a game can be started.

  On the other hand, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is started with the reset switch 93 in the OFF state and the main switch 94 in the ON state, it is diagnosed whether or not the data in the RAM 55 is corrupted. If the data when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off remains normal, the data stored in the RAM 55 is left as it is, and the state when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off last time. From this, it is possible to start processing for advancing the game.

  Processing for advancing a game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is executed according to a timer interrupt executed every 2 ms. Note that only the release of the game ball to the game area 7 based on the operation of the hitting operation handle 5 is performed independently of the timer interruption process every 2 ms.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a timer interrupt process executed every 2 ms in the main process executed by the CPU 56. When the timer interrupt occurs, the CPU 56 performs the register saving process (step S21), and then executes the game control process of steps S22 to S36. In the game control process, first, the CPU 56 inputs detection signals of switches such as the gate switch 61, the start port switches 62a and 62b, the count switch 63, and the clear switch 65 through the switch circuit 32, and changes the state thereof. A switch process for determining is performed (step S22).

  Next, a process of updating the count value of each counter for generating each determination random number such as a jackpot determination random number, a jackpot type determination random number, a probability variation end determination random number, etc. used for game control is performed (step S23). The CPU 56 further performs a process for updating the count value of the counter for generating the initial value random number (step S24) and a process for updating the counter value for generating the display random number (step S25).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs special symbol process processing (step S26). In the special symbol process, the corresponding symbol is selected according to the special symbol process flag for controlling the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, the variable display device 9, the special variable winning device 20 and the like in a predetermined order according to the gaming state. It is issued and executed. The value of the special symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state.

  Further, normal symbol process processing is performed (step S27). In the normal symbol process, the corresponding process is selected and executed according to the normal symbol process flag for controlling the display state of the normal symbol display 12 in a predetermined order. The value of the normal symbol process flag is updated during each process according to the gaming state. By executing the normal symbol process, the display control of the normal symbol display 12 and the opening / closing control of the variable winning device 15 are executed.

  Next, the CPU 56 performs a special symbol command control process in which a command for performing various effects in the variable display device 9 or the like is sent to the display control board 80 by being set in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 by the special symbol process process (step S28). ). Further, a normal symbol command control process for sending a command related to a normal symbol set in a predetermined area of the RAM 55 in the normal symbol process is performed (step S29).

  Further, the CPU 56 performs information output processing for outputting data such as jackpot information, start information, probability variation information supplied to the hall management computer, for example (step S30).

  Further, the CPU 56 executes prize ball processing for setting the number of prize balls based on detection signals from the start port switches 62a and 62b, the count switch 63, and the like (step S31). Specifically, a payout control command indicating the number of winning balls is output to the payout control board 36 in response to winning detection based on the fact that any of the start port switches 62a, 62b, the count switch 63, etc. is turned on. The payout control CPU mounted on the payout control board 36 drives the ball payout device 44 in accordance with a payout control command indicating the number of prize balls.

  And CPU56 performs the memory | storage process which checks the increase / decrease in a pending | holding memory | storage number (step S32). In the storing process, various random numbers such as jackpot determination random numbers are extracted based on the detection signals of the start port switches 62a and 62b, and the extracted random number values are stored separately in the start port switches 62a and 62b. In addition, a process for sending a command indicating the extracted random number values or the like is also performed.

  In addition, a test terminal process, which is a process for outputting a test signal for enabling the control state of the gaming machine to be confirmed outside the gaming machine, is executed (step S33). Further, when a predetermined condition is satisfied, a drive command is issued to the solenoid circuit 33 (step S34). In order to put the variable winning device 15 and the special variable winning device 20 into an open state or a closed state, or to switch the game ball passage in the big winning port 21, the solenoid circuit 33 is configured with solenoids 71 to 73 in accordance with a drive command. Drive. Thereafter, the contents of the register are restored (step S35), and the interrupt enabled state is set (step S36).

  Next, the special symbol process in step S26 will be described. In the special symbol process, the CPU 56 first determines whether or not the start opening switch 62 for detecting that a game ball has won the start winning opening 14a, 14b provided in the game board 6, is turned on. It is determined whether or not a start winning that causes the ball to win the start winning ports 14a and 14b has occurred. If a start winning has occurred, a start port switch passing process is performed. In the start-port switch passing process, a jackpot determination random number, a jackpot type determination random number, a variation type determination random number, a variation pattern determination random number, and a probability variation end determination random number are extracted to each of the start winning ports 14a and 14b. Store it in the corresponding holding memory buffer (however, when the holding memory buffer is full, the extracted random number is discarded) and the value of the extracted random number and the type of the starting winning opening where the game ball has won are set for each starting prize. A command associated with the identification information is transmitted to the display control board 80.

  After that, depending on the state of the special symbol process flag, special symbol normal processing, variation pattern setting processing, special symbol variation processing, special symbol suspension processing, pre-winning opening pre-processing, large winning opening open processing, which will be described below, One of the jackpot end processing is performed.

  Special symbol normal processing: This processing is started when the special symbol variable display can be started, and the CPU 56 checks the number of numerical data stored in the reserved storage buffer (the number of reserved memories). If the count value of the pending storage counter is not 0, if the probability variation state is controlled, whether or not to end the probability variation state based on the value of the probability variation end determination random number, based on the value of the jackpot determination random number Whether or not to win a jackpot (whether or not to make a specific display result), if the jackpot is determined, the type of jackpot is also determined based on the value of the probability variation counter and the value of the random number for jackpot type determination . When the value of the hold memory counter is not 0 for any of the start winning ports 14a and 14b, the big win or the like is determined in preference to the hold memory of the start winning port 14b. Details of the special symbol normal process will be described later.

  Fluctuation pattern setting processing: The variation pattern type of the special symbol in the special symbol displays 10a and 10b is selected according to the value of the random number for variation type determination extracted at the time of starting winning and the number of reserved memories. Then, it is selected from a plurality of types of variation patterns determined in advance according to the type of variation pattern selected and the value of the variation pattern determination random number extracted at the time of starting winning. The special symbol process timer is started after setting the variation time of the special symbol to a special symbol process timer (configured by a down timer) based on the determined variation pattern and whether or not the time-short state is controlled. At this time, the special symbol display 10a or 10b outputs a signal for instructing the start of variation display of the special symbol, and a command indicating the selected variation pattern and a command indicating whether or not to make a jackpot and a command indicating the jackpot type immediately after In the special symbol command control process (step S28), the state is set to be transmitted to the display control board 80.

  Special symbol variation processing: Monitor the time of the special symbol process timer with the variation time set according to the variation pattern selected in the variation pattern setting processing, and when the variation time has passed and the special symbol process timer times out, Next, control is performed to shift to the special symbol stop process.

  Special symbol stop processing: The special symbol display 10a, 10b is stopped to display the variation of the special symbol, and when controlled to the short-time state, the number of times the variable display in the short-time state is counted is counted. If it is 100 times, the time saving state is terminated. In addition, a signal indicating the stop of the special symbol is set to a state to be output to the special symbol indicators 10a and 10b, and a command indicating the stop of the symbol is displayed in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after the display control board. 80 is set to be transmitted.

  Pre-opening process for the big winning opening: When this process is performed for the first time after the big hit, the number of rounds of the big winning opening 21 is set, the number of rounds is displayed on the round number display 19 and then the big winning opening 21 is opened. To start. Specifically, the solenoid 72 is driven, the special winning opening 21 is opened, and the special variable winning device 20 is opened. In addition, the number of rounds in which the special winning opening 21 is opened is counted, and the execution time of the special winning opening opening process is set by the release timer.

  Processing during opening of the big winning opening: a command for displaying a round in the first jackpot gaming state and the second jackpot gaming state (a command indicating the number of rounds at the start of the round and a command indicating the end of each round), A process for setting the state to be transmitted to the display control board 80 in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after that, a process for confirming that the closing condition of the special winning opening 21 is established, and the like are performed.

  Jackpot end process: A command indicating that the first jackpot game state or the second jackpot game state has ended is set to a state to be transmitted to the display control board 80 in the special symbol command control process (step S28) immediately after.

  On the other hand, in various sub-side boards such as the display control board 80, the variable display device 9 displays the decorative symbols in a variable manner in accordance with the special symbol variable display based on the command transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main substrate 31. The process of executing the jackpot effect when the process is controlled, the reach notice, or the first jackpot game state is controlled. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing main processing executed by the display control CPU of the display control board 80.

  In this main process, first, an initialization process for initializing a necessary area in the RAM included in the display control microcomputer mounted on the display control board 80 is performed (step S701). Next, it is determined whether or not the state of the timer interrupt flag set by the timer interrupt process executed every predetermined time (for example, 33 ms (one frame period of the variable display device 9)) is 1 (step S702). The process of step S702 is repeated until the timer interrupt flag state becomes 1.

  After the timer interrupt flag status is 1, first, the timer interrupt flag is cleared to 0 (step S703), and it is checked whether a command transmitted from the basic circuit 53 of the main board 31 is received, If a command has been received, command analysis processing for analyzing the content is executed (step S704).

  Next, based on the analysis result of the command in the command analysis process, an effect control process process is executed in which the decorative display is variably displayed on the variable display device 9 or a jackpot effect is executed (step S705). Further, based on the analysis result of the command, a notice control process process for executing various effects (including marker display) other than the decorative symbol variation display and the jackpot effect is executed (step S706). Furthermore, a random number update process for updating a random number such as a notice mode determination random number is executed (step S707), and the process returns to the process of step S702.

  In such processing in the pachinko gaming machine 1, when the markers are sequentially displayed on the variable display device 9 for each variation display of the decorative symbols, the player is displayed with the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300 used by the player. Take a picture of the image at the marker. Then, processing by the application program of the mobile phone 300 is performed based on the photographed marker image, and the reliability that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot is displayed on the display device 306 in the variation display. Will be.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing processing executed by the application program of the mobile phone 300 in the gaming system according to this embodiment. When an image of a new marker is captured by the image capturing device 307 and stored in the RAM 303, the CPU 301 recognizes the image of the marker, and includes information (marker type, marker order, and probability) included in the marker. It is analyzed whether or not the variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot (step S101).

  Next, the CPU 301 specifies whether or not the marker that has performed image recognition at this time in step S101 indicates that the fluctuation display is a probability fluctuation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot. It does not become inconsistent with the result of specifying whether or not the marker has already been recognized before the previous time and indicates that the fluctuation display indicates a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot in the variation display. Is determined (step S102).

  The results of identifying whether the marker that performed image recognition this time and the marker that performed image recognition before the previous time indicate that the fluctuation display shows a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot. If there is, the CPU 301 identifies the type of the marker that has been subjected to image recognition this time in step S101, and does not match the type that has already been stored in the RAM 303 after performing image recognition before the previous time. It is determined whether or not it is necessary (step S103).

  In step S102, the result of specifying whether or not the marker that has performed the current image recognition and the marker that has performed the image recognition before the previous time indicates that the variation display indicates a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot. If they do not match, or if the types of the marker that performed the current image recognition in step S103 and the marker that performed the previous image recognition do not match, the CPU 301 displays a predetermined error display on the display device 306. (Step S104). Thereafter, all the markers stored in the RAM 303 are discarded (step S105), and the process ends.

  When the type of the marker that has performed the current image recognition in step S103 and the marker that has performed the previous image recognition match, the CPU 301 has previously captured the image captured by the image capturing device 307 and stored in the RAM 303. If there are three markers and the number of markers is three, the order in which each marker was photographed (whether the order is displayed on the variable display device 9 or different from the displayed order) is determined (step S106).

  The CPU 301 indicates whether the number of markers determined in step S106 and the order in which each marker was photographed, whether or not the variation display identified in step S102 indicates that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the time zone jackpot Depending on the type of marker specified in step S103, the notice content selection table in FIG. 9A or 9B is referred to and displayed on the display device 306 according to a predetermined random number extracted for selecting the notice content. The content of advance notice to be selected (reliability high / medium / low for a probability change jackpot, a probable change jackpot or a short time jackpot) is selected (step S107).

  The CPU 301 causes the display device 306 to display an image corresponding to the notice content selected in step S107 (high reliability / medium / low reliability, which is a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot), and the probability is determined by the variation display. The player is informed of the reliability of whether or not the variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot (step S108). Thereafter, the CPU 301 determines whether or not three markers are already stored in the RAM 303 (step S109). If three markers are stored, the CPU 301 discards all the markers stored in the RAM 303 (step S110) and ends the process.

  If the number of markers stored in the RAM 303 is not yet three, the CPU 301 determines whether or not a certain period has passed since the first marker was stored in the RAM 303 and the expiration date of the marker has passed. (Step S111). If the expiration date of the marker has not elapsed, the process returns to step S101. If the expiration date of the marker has elapsed, the CPU 301 discards all the markers stored in the RAM 303 (step S112) and ends the process.

  Hereinafter, in the gaming system according to this embodiment, the execution from the start of the decorative display of the decorative symbols in the pachinko gaming machine 1 until the notice content is displayed on the mobile phone will be described based on a specific example. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an execution example from the start of the decorative display of the decorative symbols in the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the display of the notice contents in order on the mobile phone in this embodiment. First, as shown in FIG. 13A, the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 starts displaying the decorative symbols in a variable manner. It is assumed that when this variable display is started, it is determined to perform shooting advance notice with the variable display.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 13B, markers 401 and 402 are displayed on the variable display device 9. During this time, the player sets the photographing device 307 of his mobile phone 300 as the first marker 401. Let's say this was taken. Then, the display device 306 of the mobile phone 300 once displays the image of the first marker 401, which is a photographed image, and then the notice content selected in accordance with the first marker (here, the variable display is displayed). The probability that the probability change jackpot, the probability change jackpot or the hourly jackpot is low is displayed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 13C, the variable display device 9 displays the image of the marker 403 in addition to the images of the markers 401 and 402. It is assumed that the photographing device 307 is photographed with the second marker 402 being pointed. Then, on the display device 306 of the mobile phone 300, an image of the second marker 402, which is a photographed image, is once displayed, and then according to a total of two markers, the first marker and the second marker that have already been photographed. The selected advance notice content (here, the reliability indicating that the fluctuation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot) is displayed.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 13 (d), the image of the marker 401 is deleted from the variable display device 9, but the player can carry his / her mobile phone while the images of the markers 402 and 403 are still displayed. It is assumed that the photographing device 307 of the telephone 300 is pointed at the third marker 403 and photographed. Then, on the display device 306 of the mobile phone 300, after the image of the third marker 403, which is a photographed image, is once displayed, a total of three first to third photographs that have already been photographed are photographed in order. The notice content selected according to the above is displayed (here, the probability that the probability display is a big jackpot, a probable change jackpot or a short-term jackpot is high in the fluctuation display).

  Three markers are photographed in order and displayed as a high probability of probability change jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot or time-shortage jackpot in the fluctuation display. Since it is only a case where a big hit or a short time big hit, as shown in FIG. 13 (e), when the variable display is completed, the big win display mode (here 7-7-7) is displayed on the variable display device 9. It will be displayed.

  As described above, in the gaming system according to this embodiment, for each variation display of the decorative symbol performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, whether or not the variation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot. In the variable display in which it is determined to perform the shooting advance notice, the three markers 401 to 403 are displayed on the variable display device 9 for a certain period from the start of the decorative pattern variable display. Each of the markers 401 to 403 includes information that can specify whether or not each of the markers is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot in the variation display.

  Further, when a player who plays a game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 photographs the markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 with the photographing device 307 of his mobile phone 300 in this way, the photographed markers 401 to 403 are captured. On the basis of the above, the reliability indicating the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot is displayed on the display device 306, and this is notified to the player. Here, the notified reliability does not necessarily correspond to the ratio of the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot in the fluctuation display. That is, as the number of markers photographed by the mobile phone 300 increases, the credibility as the notified reliability information increases.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1, in a certain period after the display of the decorative symbol variation is started, the player's mobile phone 300 displays the probability of the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot on the variation display. Therefore, instead of photographing the markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 only once, it is necessary to acquire as many of the three displayed markers 401 to 403 as possible. Since the merit is born, the photographing operation of the markers 401 to 403 is not simplified, and it can be interesting.

  Further, the variation display displayed on the display device 306 according to the number of markers 401 to 403 actually photographed among the three markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Since the credibility as reliability information that becomes a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot is changed, the notification of the reliability does not become simple, and the content can be interesting.

  Further, the markers 401 to 403 displayed when the shooting advance notice is made are displayed while moving at different positions on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1. The markers 401 to 403 are moved and displayed at different positions on the variable display device 9, respectively. From there, the mobile phone 300 can specify whether or not the variation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot. In order to do so, it is necessary to shoot at a predetermined size or more one by one in one shooting.

  Therefore, in order to photograph the markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300, it is necessary to move the mobile phone 300 in pursuit of movement in order to photograph one. In order to take a plurality of images, it is necessary to move the mobile phone 300 to each display position. For this reason, the work of photographing the markers 401 to 403 becomes more interesting, and the entertainment of the game can be further improved.

  In addition, since the trajectory of the movement of the markers 401 to 403 is different every time a shooting advance notice is made, the player is just waiting for his / her mobile phone 300 to face the same position of the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1. Then, even if the markers 401 to 403 are displayed on the variable display device 9, it may happen that none of them can be photographed. For this reason, the work of photographing the markers 401 to 403 becomes more interesting, and the entertainment of the game can be further improved.

  Further, although all three markers 401 to 403 may be displayed on the variable display device 9 at the same time, the display start / display erasure timing is shifted, and the order is determined according to the difference in timing. ing. In order to photograph the markers 401 to 403 in order, it is necessary to photograph the markers 401 to 403 displayed at different positions on the variable display device 9 with the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300 in the order in which the display is started. Therefore, the shooting of the markers 401 to 403 becomes more interesting, and the entertainment of the game can be further improved.

  Further, even if all three markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 can be photographed as a result, the order when the three markers 401 to 403 can be photographed in order is different. Since the reliability as reliability information that is a probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot is higher in the variation display than in the case of the display, the value as the reliability information displayed on the display device 306 is further increased. Can be interesting.

  In addition, since the markers 401 to 403 are moved and displayed on the variable display device 9, the order of the markers 401 to 403 is lost unless care is taken from the start of each display. It is possible to make the player pay attention to each of the movements 401 to 403, and to further improve the interest of the game. However, the third marker 403 that has started to be displayed last is continuously displayed on the variable display device 9 until the latest, and the second marker 402 that has started to be displayed next is displayed on the variable display device 9 until the next latest time. Therefore, even if the markers 403 and 402 are started to be displayed later, the period during which the image can be captured does not become stricter than the marker 401 that has been started to display earlier.

  In addition, since the markers 401 to 403 are displayed / erased at different timings, in order for the player to photograph as many markers 401 to 403 as possible with the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300, the marker 401 is used. It is necessary to take a picture while each of .about.403 is displayed on the variable display device 9. Thereby, it is possible to keep the player interested in the shooting of the markers 401 to 403 for a certain period of time, and to further improve the interest of the game.

  In addition to the two-dimensional code, the markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 at the time of shooting advance notice have different types of characters. When the number of the markers 401 to 403 photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300 is two or three and the order is out of order, the probability variation jackpot in the variation display depends on the marker type difference, The credibility as the reliability information that will be a probable promotion jackpot or short-term jackpot will be different. For this reason, it is possible to make the player interested in the type of marker displayed on the variable display device 9, and to further improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, when the shooting advance notice is given, three markers 401 to 403 are displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and each time one of the markers is photographed, the fluctuation display shows the probability variation. A reliability that is a jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot is selected and displayed on the display device 306. Then, as the number of photographed markers 401 to 403 increases, the reliability as displayed reliability information increases. In this way, the credibility of information is stepped up and provided to the player, so that the interest of the game can be further improved.

  By the way, the markers 401 to 403 are slightly longer than the period from when the first marker is displayed on the variable display device 9 until the third marker is erased in one variable display. Since the expiry date is set for the period, the markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 are originally recognized as the same variation display for the variation display of different times. It should not be done. Moreover, since the time for which the markers 401 to 403 are displayed is limited to about several seconds, the markers 401 to 403 that are originally displayed on the variable display device 9 of different pachinko gaming machines 1 are the same. It should not be recognized as a variable display of the same time.

  However, this does not always happen due to some problem in processing by the application program of the mobile phone 300 or due to intentional fraud of the player. Therefore, when two or more markers 401 to 403 within the expiration date are stored in the RAM 303 of the mobile phone 300, whether or not the variation display specified from each of them indicates a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot. That is, it is determined whether all the pieces of information match and all the types of the markers match.

  If these discrepancies exist, a predetermined error notification is performed without performing notification of reliability that is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot in the variation display. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the reliability indicating the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot from being notified in the abnormal display which is not originally planned as a gaming system. In addition, by notifying the reliability without notifying the reliability, the player can recognize that the marker stored in the RAM 303 of the mobile phone 300 as being within the expiration date is abnormal. .

  Further, once the application program for the mobile phone 300 is downloaded from the server device 200, after the markers 401 to 403 are displayed on the variable display device 9 when the shooting notification is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, all of the mobile phone 300 is displayed. Among them, based on the photographed markers 401 to 403, it is possible to perform processing until the display device 306 displays the reliability indicating the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot in the variation display. Therefore, no extra load is applied to the server apparatus 200, and no extra system resources are consumed.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications and applications are possible. Hereinafter, modifications of the above-described embodiment applicable to the present invention will be described.

  In the above embodiment, the marker is moved and displayed on the variable display device 9 in the variable display in which the pachinko gaming machine 1 is determined to perform the shooting advance notice. The speed of the marker movement display may be varied depending on whether the fluctuation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot. In particular, when the fluctuation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probability change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, the marker movement display speed will be faster than the case of a loss (including a sudden chance jackpot). Also good.

  In this way, by changing the speed of marker movement display depending on whether the fluctuation display is a probability fluctuation jackpot, a probabilistic promotion jackpot or a short-term jackpot, a different sense of expectation can be obtained according to the difference in the movement display. It can be given to a player, and the interest of the game can be further improved. In particular, in the case of increasing the movement speed when the fluctuation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probability change jackpot, or a short-time jackpot, it is more difficult to follow the marker with the mobile phone 300 as the player's expectation increases. Therefore, the fun of the game can be added according to the heightened expectation.

  In the above-described embodiment, the markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the shooting advance notice is performed are moved and displayed on the variable display device 9. In addition, although the display start / display erasing timing is slightly shifted, there are cases where a plurality of display start / display erase timings are simultaneously displayed on the variable display device 9. In addition, the display is ordered in the order of display start timing. On the other hand, the markers 401 to 403 may be displayed after being stopped on the variable display device 9 (however, the display position may be changed each time the setting notice is made).

  Also, the display start / display erase timings of the markers 401 to 403 may all be the same. The order of the markers 401 to 403 may be set in an order different from the display start timing (in this case, it is necessary to indicate the order of the markers 401 to 403 to the player by displaying numbers or the like. ). Alternatively, a plurality of markers 401 to 403 may not be displayed on the variable display device 9 at the same time, and the periods during which they are displayed may not overlap each other. In this case, the timing at which the markers 401 to 403 are displayed may be changed randomly.

  In the above embodiment, in the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1, the markers 401 to 403 are all displayed in a predetermined size. On the other hand, the size of the markers 401 to 403 may be different at every shooting notice, and even if all three markers 401 to 403 displayed at the same time have the same size, the three are different. It may be a size. In addition, the size of each of the markers 401 to 403 may change during a period from when display is started until display is erased.

  In the variable display, it is not possible to specify whether or not the probability change jackpot, the probable promotion jackpot or the short-time jackpot, and the order displayed on the variable display device 9, but in order to be able to specify these, Each of the images 401 to 403 must be photographed at a predetermined size or more. However, the size of the markers 401 to 403 changes in this way, thereby making it impossible to bring the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300 close to anywhere. What should not be changed. This makes the work of photographing the markers 401 to 403 more interesting, and can further enhance the interest of the game.

  In the above embodiment, the markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the shooting advance notice is performed include, as the information, the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot or the time shortening in the variation display. Information indicating whether or not a big hit and information indicating the order of display on the variable display device 9 were included. In addition to this, a predetermined number (a sequence number determined for each pachinko gaming machine 1 or a random number) acquired each time a shooting notice is made may be included in the markers 401 to 403 as information.

  In this case, when a plurality of markers 401 to 403 within the expiration date are stored in the RAM 303, a predetermined number included as information in each marker 401 to 403 is specified, and all the specified predetermined numbers are specified. If they do not match, a predetermined error display may be displayed on the display device 306 and then all of them may be discarded. As a result, it is possible to more reliably prevent the reliability indicating the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot from being reported in an abnormal state that is not originally planned as a gaming system. Become.

  In the above embodiment, the marker displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the shooting advance notice is performed has two types of two-dimensional code and character. Can be arbitrarily determined. In addition, for example, the method of distinguishing the types is arbitrary, such as the same two-dimensional code but different colors for each type. Furthermore, it is difficult for the player to recognize the type directly, since the color, size and overall shape are the same, but the type of marker is distinguished by the difference in the information contained therein. Also good.

  In the above-described embodiment, three markers 401 to 403 are displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when a shooting advance notice is performed. Of course, the number displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the shooting notice is made can be any number of two or more, and the number is displayed on the variable display device 9 every time the shooting notice is made. The number of markers to be set may be arbitrarily determined within a range of two or more and a predetermined number or less.

  In the above embodiment, even one of the three markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when the shooting advance notice is made is shot by the shooting device 307 of the mobile phone 300. Then, in the change display, the reliability is notified that the probability change jackpot, the probable change jackpot or the hourly jackpot. However, the notification of the reliability that is the probability variation jackpot, the probability change jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot may be performed only when two or more of the three markers 401 to 403 are photographed.

  In the above embodiment, three markers 401 to 403 are displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 when shooting advance notice is performed, and these are shot as still images by the shooting device 307 of the mobile phone 300. As a result, the reliability indicating the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is displayed on the variation display. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  For example, an aspect according to whether or not a predetermined lamp arranged in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot or a short-term jackpot on the variation display (a mode in which it is difficult to distinguish between players) It is good also as what is made to blink and is image | photographed as a moving image with the imaging device 307 of the mobile telephone 300. FIG. The CPU 301 of the mobile phone 300 analyzes the lighting mode of the lamp photographed as a moving image, and specifies whether or not the variation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot.

  Moreover, the lamp used for this may be plural or one. When there is one lamp, a plurality of blinking periods can be defined, and blinking in each blinking period can correspond to each of the markers 401 to 403 in the above embodiment. In addition, when there are a plurality of lamps, the period during which each lamp blinks may be the same or different, and each lamp corresponds to each of the markers 401 to 403 in the above embodiment. Can do.

  Alternatively, when the mobile phone 300 is provided with a microphone (which can be used other than a telephone call), depending on whether or not a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot or a short-term jackpot is displayed on the variation display from the speaker 27 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 It is also possible to output voice (a level that cannot be recorded unless the microphone is brought close to a certain level) in a manner (which is difficult for a player to distinguish), and record this by the microphone of the mobile phone 300. The CPU 301 of the mobile phone 300 analyzes the recorded voice and specifies whether or not the fluctuation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot.

  The speaker 27 that outputs such sound may be fixed to either the right or left, or both. In this case, a plurality of sound output periods can be defined, and the sound output in each sound output period can correspond to each of the markers 401 to 403 in the above embodiment. In addition, audio is output during a predetermined audio output period, but it may be determined at random whether the sound is output from the left or right.

  In the above-described embodiment, the probability that the probability variation jackpot, the probability change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot displayed on the display device 306 of the mobile phone 300 by photographing the marker displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is determined. Whether the degree is high / medium / low depends on whether or not it is determined from the marker that the variation display will be a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, and the number of markers taken and It was supposed to be selected according to the order. However, the present invention is not limited to this.

  As a first method, regardless of the number and order of markers taken, first, depending on whether or not it is specified from the relevant marker that the variation display will be a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot. Thus, it is possible to select one of high / medium / low reliability for the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, and the short-term jackpot. In addition, the reliability actually displayed on the display device 306 may be changed to a reliability different from the reliability initially selected in accordance with the number and order of the captured markers.

  For example, when it is specified from the marker photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300 that the variation display indicates a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot, first select a high reliability. When it is specified that the probability variation jackpot, the probabilistic promotion jackpot or the short-term jackpot will not be reached, first select a low reliability. When the number of markers is three and in order, the first selected reliability is displayed on the display device 306 without change.

  In other cases, the reliability selected first is changed at a rate corresponding to the number of markers and displayed on the display device 306. Here, when it is specified from the photographed marker that the variation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot or a short-term jackpot, when the number of markers is one, the reliability is medium at a ratio of X1. , Change the Y1 ratio to low reliability. Similarly, when the number of markers is two, the ratio is changed at a ratio of X2 and Y2, respectively, and when the number of markers is three and the order is different, the ratio is changed at a ratio of X3 and Y3.

  On the other hand, if it is specified from the photographed marker that the fluctuation display does not become a probability fluctuation jackpot, a probable change jackpot or a short-term jackpot, if the number of markers is one, the reliability is a medium Z1 ratio, Change to the ratio of W1 to the high reliability. Similarly, when the number of markers is two, the ratio is changed at a ratio of Z2 and W2, respectively, and when the number of markers is three and the order is different, the ratio is changed at a ratio of Z3 and W3.

  The reliability change ratios X1 to X3, Y1 to Y3, Z1 to Z3, and W1 to W3 are the ratios that the probability change jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, or short-term jackpot as a whole when the reliability is indicated as high Is higher than the ratio of probability variation jackpots, probability-changed promotion jackpots or short-term jackpots when reliability is shown as medium, and overall probability fluctuation jackpots when reliability is shown as medium, If the probability of being a probabilistic promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot is indicated as low confidence, the overall probability variation jackpot is higher than the probability of being probabilistic promotion jackpot or hourly jackpot, and the displayed confidence level The more credible as information, the higher the number of markers taken, the higher the number of markers that are taken in order if the same number of markers is three In a range, it can be determined to an appropriate value.

  In addition, when the number of markers photographed as the second method is only one, whether or not it is determined from the photographed markers that the fluctuation display does not result in a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot Accordingly, the reliability is selected from high / medium / low at a predetermined ratio. Regardless of whether it is specified from the photographed marker that the fluctuation display does not result in a probability variation jackpot, probable promotion jackpot, or short-time jackpot, the reliability is determined to be a predetermined ratio (for example, evenly) May be selected at a certain ratio).

  When the number of photographed markers becomes two, the reliability selected when the number of markers is one is changed at a constant rate. If it is specified from the photographed marker that the change display will be a probability change jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, change if the number of markers is one but high reliability is selected. However, when the reliability is medium or low, the reliability is changed to high at the ratio of x and y (x <y), respectively. If it is specified from the photographed marker that the fluctuation display does not result in a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, change it if the number of markers is one but low reliability is selected. However, when the reliability is medium or low, the reliability is changed to high at the ratio of z and y (x <y), respectively.

  If the number of photographed markers becomes three and if it is out of order, the reliability in the selected state when the number of markers is two is changed. If it is specified from the photographed marker that the variation display will be a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, change if the number of markers is two but high reliability is selected. However, when the reliability is medium or low, the reliability is changed to high at the ratio of x and y (x <y), respectively. If it is specified from the photographed marker that the fluctuation display does not result in a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, change it if the number of markers is one but low reliability is selected. However, when the reliability is medium or low, the reliability is changed to high at the ratio of z and y (x <y), respectively.

  If it is in order when the number of markers taken is three, if it is specified from the photographed marker that the change display will be a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot or a short-term jackpot Regardless of the selection state of reliability when the number of markers is two, all are changed to high reliability. When it is specified from the photographed marker that the fluctuation display does not result in a probability variation jackpot, a probable promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, regardless of the reliability selection state when the number of markers is two Change all to low reliability.

  When the reliability displayed on the display device 306 of the mobile phone 300 is determined by these two methods, the reliability displayed on the display device 306 of the mobile phone 300 is determined by the method described in the above embodiment. In the same way, the more the number of markers taken, and the more the three markers are taken, the more likely they are in order, the more reliable the probability change big hit, the probability change big hit or the short time big hit in the variable display. It becomes possible to increase the credibility as the degree information.

  In the above embodiment, every time the three markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 are photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300 when the photographing advance notice is performed, Based on the markers 401 to 403 photographed so far, the reliability indicating the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot in the variation display is displayed on the display device 306. However, the reliability is not immediately displayed by photographing one of the markers 401 to 403, and a predetermined time has elapsed since any one of the markers 401 to 403 is photographed and no other marker is photographed. In addition, the number of captured markers 401 to 403 may be determined, and at this time, the display device 306 may display the reliability of the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot for the first time in the variation display.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing processing executed by the application program of the mobile phone 300 in this modification. In the flowchart of FIG. 14, processing similar to that of the flowchart of FIG. 12 may be omitted. When an image of a new marker is captured by the image capturing device 307 and stored in the RAM 303, the CPU 301 recognizes the image of the marker, and includes information (marker type, marker order, and probability) included in the marker. It is analyzed whether the variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot (step S201).

  Next, the CPU 301 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since a marker that has been subjected to image recognition this time is photographed in step S201 and a new marker is not photographed (step S202). If the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S201. If the predetermined time has elapsed, among the three markers displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 at that time, the number of markers that the player has successfully photographed is determined.

  The CPU 301 specifies, for each photographed marker, whether or not each of the markers indicates that the variation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, and each marker displays a probability variation jackpot and a probability variation. It is determined whether or not all the results of identifying whether or not the promotion jackpot or the time-saving jackpot has been matched match or do not match (step S203).

  When all the results of identifying whether or not each marker indicates that the variation display shows a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-time jackpot, the CPU 301 determines the marker for each photographed marker. The type identified for each marker is determined whether all the identified results match or do not match (step S204).

  In step S203, if there is something that does not agree with the result of specifying whether or not the change display indicates that the variation display shows a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, or in step S204 for each marker If there is something that does not match the specified type, the CPU 301 displays a predetermined error on the display device 306 (step S205), and ends the process.

  If all the types identified for each marker in step S204 match, the CPU 301 counts the number of markers that have been captured by the imaging device 307 and stored in the RAM 303, and if there are three markers, The order in which the markers are photographed (whether the order is displayed on the variable display device 9 or different from the displayed order) is determined (step S206).

  The CPU 301 indicates whether the number of markers determined in step S206 and the order in which each marker was photographed, whether or not the fluctuation display identified in step S203 indicates a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot. 9A or 9B is referred to according to the type of marker specified in step S204, and displayed on the display device 306 according to a predetermined random number extracted for selection of the notice content. The content to be notified is selected (the reliability is high / medium / low with a probability change jackpot, a probability change jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot) (step S207).

  The CPU 301 causes the display device 306 to display an image corresponding to the notice content selected in step S207 (high reliability / medium / low reliability, which is a probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot, or time / temporal bonus jackpot), and the probability is determined by the variation display. The player is informed of the reliability of whether or not the variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot (step S208), and the process ends.

  In this modified example, only when a predetermined period elapses without a new marker being photographed, the reliability that is a probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot or time-short jackpot on the variation display is displayed on the display device 306 of the mobile phone 300. As a result, players can concentrate on marker shooting and games without being confused by the low level of credibility as information while the number of markers still photographed is small. become.

  In the above embodiment, the three markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 at the time of shooting advance notice each have a probability variation jackpot and a probability change promotion jackpot in the variation display. Alternatively, it is assumed that information that can specify whether or not it is a time bonus is included. On the other hand, the normal markers 401 to 403 do not include information that can specify whether or not the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot in the variation display, and separately from this, the variable display device 9 Only a marker (referred to as a specific marker) displayed on the screen may include information that can specify whether or not a probability variation jackpot, probability change promotion jackpot, or short-term jackpot is obtained in the variation display.

  In such a case, it is possible to perform the process by replacing the step S202 of the modification shown in FIG. 14 with a step of determining whether or not the specific marker has been photographed. In addition, the information that can specify whether or not the probability change jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-time jackpot in the change display is not included in the normal markers 401 to 403 but is included only in the specific marker. The process of S203 is not necessary. In addition, the specific marker may not be included in the number of markers photographed when selecting the notice content.

  Alternatively, the markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 do not include information that can specify whether or not the fluctuation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot. There may be something, and among the markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9, information that can specify whether or not the change display is a probability change jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot is included. On the condition that one or more objects have been photographed by the photographing device 307, the display device 306 of the mobile phone 300 displays the reliability of whether or not the variation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot. It may be a thing.

  In the above-described embodiment, the reliability that is a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation jackpot, or a short-term jackpot is reported by the shooting display, but the reliability that becomes super reach by the switching display is notified by the shooting notice. It is good also as what alert | reports. In this case, the markers 401 to 403 displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 include information that makes it possible to specify whether the variation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot or a time-short jackpot. Instead, it is sufficient to include information that makes it possible to specify whether or not the variable display is a super reach.

  In the above embodiment, the types of jackpots include probability variation jackpots, probability variation jackpots, sudden probability variation jackpots, and short-term jackpots, and in the former three, the player knows that all were controlled by probability variation jackpots It was. On the other hand, instead of the probable promotion jackpot as the type of jackpot, whether or not the decorative symbols are aligned and stopped with symbols other than “1” or “7”, and whether or not the jackpot effect is controlled in a state of probability variation. It is also possible to provide a probabilistic latent jackpot that does not notify the user. Since the player's appearance does not change regardless of whether the probability variation latency jackpot or the time bonus, the probability variation latency state in which it is not known whether or not the probability variation state is controlled will occur.

  In a pachinko machine controlled in such a probabilistic latent state, when a player is controlled in a probabilistic latent state, the player will be a big hit in the variable display when the decorative symbol is displayed. It is expected that the state is controlled to the state of probability variation. Therefore, the shooting notice in the above embodiment can be applied to the probability change latency notice for notifying whether the probability change state is actually controlled in the probability change latent state. Even when the shooting advance notice is applied to the probabilistic latent notice, the same effect as the above embodiment can be obtained.

  When the shooting advance notice is applied to the probability change latency notice, the display of a plurality of markers on the variable display device 9 applied to the advance notice of shooting in the same probability change latency state is not performed by a single change display. And can be divided into a plurality of variable displays. For example, after the transition to the probability variation latent state, the first marker is variably displayed in the fifth variation display, the second marker is variably displayed in the tenth variation display, and the third marker is variably displayed in the fifteenth variation display. It can also be displayed on the device 9.

  The display control CPU of the display control board 80 can determine whether or not it is actually controlled to the probability variation state by the gaming state command transmitted from the CPU 56 of the main board 31. For example, when the fluctuation display is started during the probability variation latent state (when the start command is received), it is determined whether or not the actual gaming state is a probability variation state, and whether the probability variation state is present. It may be determined that the probability change latent announcement is made at a different rate depending on whether or not.

  In the probability variation latent state, after the display result other than the specific display result is displayed on the special symbol displays 10a and 10b, the game is controlled to the small hit gaming state in which the same control as the second big hit gaming state is performed. After the end of the gaming state, it is controlled to the same gaming state that was controlled before it was controlled to the small hit gaming state (if it was controlled to the probability variation state, it was controlled to the probability variation state, and the normal gaming state was controlled. If it is, it is possible to make a probability variation latent state with a small hit to be controlled (to the normal gaming state), a sudden normal jackpot (same as a sudden probability variation jackpot except that it is not controlled to a probability variation state) and the sudden probability variation jackpot described above. .

  In addition, in a pachinko gaming machine controlled to a probability variation latency state, the player is notified of the possibility of whether or not the probability variation latency mode continues, and whether or not the probability variation state is actually controlled. As an effect, the shooting notice in the above embodiment may be applied. In addition, there are cases where a gaming state advantageous to the player (or a state in which the player is likely to be controlled to an advantageous gaming state) ends after the lapse of a predetermined period and may continue after the lapse of the predetermined period If this is the case, the above will generally inform the player whether or not the advantageous gaming state (or the state in which the advantageous gaming state may be controlled) continues even after the lapse of the predetermined period. The shooting notice in the embodiment can be applied.

  For example, as a type of jackpot, a short-term probability variation jackpot that is controlled to a probability variation state by a predetermined number of games (for example, 10 games) after the end of the first jackpot gaming state, and even if the predetermined number of games is exceeded (until the next jackpot) It is also possible to prepare long-term probability variation jackpots in which the probability variation state continues, and not to indicate to the player which kind of jackpot has occurred in the display result of the decorative pattern on the variable display device 9 or the like. It is assumed that it is not known whether the probability variation state ends in the game or whether the probability variation state continues even after 10 games are digested. In this case, in 10 games after the end of the first jackpot gaming state, the shooting advance notice in the above-described embodiment is executed, and the probability variation state continues after 10 games. .

  In addition, since the type of decorative symbols stopped on the variable display device 9 is indistinguishable from the time and bonus jackpot when the probability change promotion jackpot is reached, the jackpot effect in the first jackpot gaming state controlled after the probability variable promotion jackpot and the time bonus In order to indicate whether or not the state is controlled to the probability variation state, the shooting advance notice in the above embodiment can be applied to notify or notify that the probability change is a big hit.

  In addition, for example, there are a 7-round jackpot gaming state in which the big winning opening is opened only for 7 rounds, and a 15 round jackpot gaming state in which the big winning opening is opened only for 15 rounds as the jackpot gaming state. From the result of the symbol variation display, it is not known which one is being controlled. In this case, the jackpot gaming state may end after 7 rounds and the jackpot gaming state may continue after 7 rounds. The shooting notice in the form of can be applied to notify or announce that it will be a big hit of 15 rounds.

  In the above embodiment, even if a game ball wins the start winning opening 14a, 14b, if the change display cannot be started immediately because the change display based on the previous start winning is still being performed, Various random numbers extracted based on the start winning are stored in the storage buffer of the RAM 55. And the icon corresponding to the holding | maintenance memory | storage buffer by which various random numbers are hold | maintained was displayed on the special symbol reservation memory | storage display parts 11a and 11b. Although the variable display corresponding to the icons displayed in the special symbol hold storage display units 11a and 11b has not been executed yet, the extraction of various random numbers has already been completed. Whether or not and the fluctuation pattern) has already been determined.

  However, if an icon is displayed on the special symbol hold storage display section 11a, 11b and it is understood that the hold is stored, the player is still actually started in the same manner as for the variable display during execution. You will expect to be a jackpot or super reach in the variable display that is not. Therefore, in the above-described embodiment, the pre-reading notice that informs that there is a possibility that the fluctuation that will be made after the next due to the pending storage may become a probability variation jackpot, a probable change jackpot, or a short-time jackpot, or that it will be a super reach. A notice may be applied. Even when the pre-reading notice is applied, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained.

  When the shooting advance notice is applied to the probability change latency notice, the display of a plurality of markers on the variable display device 9 applied to the advance notice of shooting in the same probability change latency state is not performed by a single change display. And can be divided into a plurality of variable displays. For example, if there are three pending storages that are executed before the fluctuation display that is the target of prefetching, the first marker is displayed in the fluctuation display three times before the target, The second marker can be displayed on the variable display device 9 by the variable display, and the third marker can be displayed by the variable display immediately before the target.

  In the above embodiment, a case where a pachinko gaming machine is applied as a gaming machine constituting the gaming system of the present invention has been described as an example. However, there are also slot machines that can shift the gaming state for players such as big bonus, regular bonus, challenge bonus (hereinafter collectively referred to as bonus), AT (Assist Time), RT (Replay Time), etc. The present invention can be applied as a gaming machine constituting the gaming system of the present invention.

  For example, in a slot machine equipped with a liquid crystal display as an effect device, whether or not to allow winning of each combination including a bonus is determined by an internal lottery performed when the start lever is operated for each game. Depending on whether or not a bonus is won in this internal lottery, a bonus advance notice or bonus announcement is made. This bonus advance notice or bonus notification is applied to a liquid crystal display device, which is an effect device provided separately from the variable display device provided with three reels that start rotating by operating the start lever and stop rotating by operating the stop button. There is something to do in displaying an image. In such a slot machine, the shooting advance notice in the pachinko gaming machine 1 can be applied for bonus advance notice or bonus announcement.

  When the shooting notice is applied to a bonus notice or a bonus notice in the slot machine, a plurality of markers are displayed on the liquid crystal display device for one game (a period from the start of reel rotation to the stop of all reels). It can be a continuous effect that is divided into a plurality of games. The slot machine does not necessarily win a bonus in a game won by an internal lottery, and does not win a bonus unless the stop button is operated by an appropriate operation procedure according to the type of bonus won.

  Also, in each game when the game state is controlled by a bonus, it is decided whether or not to give a shooting notice depending on whether or not the bonus is won (a higher percentage when the bonus is won) The first marker is displayed on the liquid crystal display device in the next game, the second marker in the next game, and the third marker in the next game. it can.

  Of course, a plurality of markers may be displayed on the liquid crystal display device in one game when the shooting notice is applied to a bonus notice or a bonus notice in the slot machine. For example, from the timing when the start lever is operated. The first marker for a predetermined period, the second marker for a predetermined period from the timing when the first stop button is operated, the third marker for a predetermined period from the timing for operating the second stop button, It may be displayed on a liquid crystal display device.

  In this case, there is a trade-off between game operation (operation of the start lever, first stop button, second stop button) in the slot machine and shooting of the marker. It will be more interesting with the progress of the game, and can improve the interest of the game.

  The application of the shooting advance notice to the slot machine is not limited to the bonus notice or bonus advance notice, and whether or not the RT is determined to be an ART that notifies the winning of the punk role when controlled by the RT. It can also be applied to ART notices and ART notices. Furthermore, in addition to bonus notices, bonus notices, ART notices, and ART notices, if there are a plurality of types of game states that are advantageous to a player such as an AT, the number of continued games is different. It can also be applied to a notice or announcement of whether or not to continue.

  In the above embodiment, the application program of the mobile phone 300 is stored in the HDD 207 of the server device 200, downloaded from here, and stored in the ROM 302. However, a semiconductor memory card storing the application program may be distributed, and may be read from a semiconductor memory card inserted into a memory slot of the mobile phone 300 and stored in the ROM 302. The mobile phone 300 may be one in which this application program is preinstalled in the ROM 302.

  In the above-described embodiment, the reliability that is the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot in the variation display displayed on the display device 306 based on the markers 401 to 403 photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300. Is selected by the application program of the mobile phone 300. On the other hand, the markers 401 to 403 photographed with the mobile phone 300 are sent to the server device 200, and the probability variation jackpot and probability variation promotion jackpot are displayed in the variation display displayed on the display device 306 based on the photographed markers 401 to 403. Alternatively, the server device 200 may select the reliability that will be a time-saving hit and return it to the mobile phone 300 to be displayed on the display device 306.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing processing performed by the mobile phone 300 and the server device 200 in this modification. In this modification, the notice content selection table in FIG. 9 is not stored in the ROM 302 of the mobile phone 300 but is stored in the HDD 207 of the server device 200. In the flowchart of FIG. 15, processing similar to that of the flowchart of FIG. 12 may be omitted.

  Further, the flowchart of FIG. 15 is taken when a predetermined time elapses after any one of the markers 401 to 403 is photographed, and the other markers are not photographed, as in the modification shown in FIG. The mobile phone 300 and the server device 200 are used to determine the number of markers 401 to 403, and display the reliability on the display device 306 for the first time at this time in the fluctuation display, which is a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot. However, as shown in the flowchart of FIG. 12, the display of the selected reliability every time the markers 401 to 403 are photographed is also performed by the cooperation between the mobile phone 300 and the server device 200. Can be realized by work.

  First, when an image of a new marker is photographed by the photographing device 307 and stored in the RAM 303, the CPU 301 of the mobile phone 300 performs image recognition of the marker and information (marker type, marker type) included in the marker. The order of the markers and whether or not the probability variation jackpot, probability variation promotion jackpot or time-shortage jackpot is analyzed (step S301).

  Next, the CPU 301 determines whether or not a predetermined time has passed without taking a new marker after the marker for which image recognition was performed this time in step S301 was taken (step S302). If the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S301. If the predetermined time has passed, the number of markers that the player has successfully photographed among the three markers displayed on the variable display device 9 of the pachinko gaming machine 1 at that time is determined, and the CPU 301 The data is transmitted from the device 308 to the server device 300 via the network 151 (step S303).

  Next, in the server device 200, the control unit 203 causes the communication interface 215 to receive the marker transmitted from the mobile phone 300 in step S303, and temporarily stores it in the HDD 207 (step S401).

  For each marker received, the control unit 203 identifies whether or not each of the markers indicates that the variation display is a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation promotion jackpot, or a short-term jackpot, and each marker displays a probability variation jackpot in the variation display. Then, it is determined whether or not all the results of specifying whether or not the probability change promotion jackpot or the time-shortage jackpot is the same or not match (step S402).

  When all the results of identifying whether or not each marker indicates that the variation display shows that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the short-term jackpot is all matched, the control unit 203 determines whether or not each marker received Then, the marker type is specified, and it is determined whether the specified type for each marker matches all of the specified results or does not match (step S403).

  In step S402, if there is something that does not agree with the result of specifying whether or not the change display shows that the variation display shows a probability change jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a short time jackpot, or in step S403, for each marker If there is something that does not match the specified type, the control unit 203 transmits an error notification from the communication interface 215 to the mobile phone 300 via the network 151 (step S404), and ends the process.

  If all the types specified for each marker in step S403 match, the control unit 203 receives the number of markers received by the communication interface 215 and stored in the HDD 207, and if there are three markers, each marker The order in which images are taken (whether the order is displayed on the variable display device 9 or different from the displayed order) is determined (step S405).

  The control unit 203 indicates whether or not the number of markers determined in step S405 and the order in which each marker was photographed, and the variation display identified in step S402 indicates that the probability variation jackpot, the probable change promotion jackpot, or the time-shortage jackpot. Or, referring to the notice content selection table of FIG. 9A or 9B according to the type of marker specified in step S403, the notice contents (in accordance with a predetermined random number extracted for selecting the notice contents) The reliability that is the probability variation jackpot, the probability variation promotion jackpot, or the time bonus jackpot is selected (step S406).

  The control unit 203 sends a reliability notification from the communication interface 215 via the network 151 according to the notice content selected in step S406 (high reliability / medium / low reliability, which is a probability variation jackpot, a probability variation jackpot or a time bonus). Is transmitted to the mobile phone 300 (step S407), and the process is terminated.

  Thereafter, in the mobile phone 300, the CPU 301 causes the communication device 308 to receive the error notification transmitted from the server device 200 in step S404 or the reliability notification transmitted from the server device 200 in step S407 (step S304). Then, the CPU 301 causes the display device 306 to display a predetermined error or the received reliability based on the type of notification received (step S305). Then, the process ends.

  As described above, even when processing is performed by the cooperation of the mobile phone 300 and the server device 200, the same effect as when processing is performed by the application program of the mobile phone 300 can be obtained. In addition, since the use of the game system for each player can be managed by the server device 200, pay-as-you-go according to the usage of the game system is also possible. Further, a program for a portion that specifies whether or not the markers 401 to 403 photographed by the photographing device 307 of the mobile phone 300 indicate that the variation display indicates a probability variation jackpot, a probable change promotion jackpot, or a time bonus jackpot. Therefore, it can be prevented from being illegally used.
