  In the present embodiment, as a prerequisite technology, information on the gaming result in the gaming machine is displayed on the gaming machine screen in the form of a two-dimensional code image, and the player takes a picture using the camera function of his / her portable terminal. Information can be read. The read information is transmitted to a dedicated web server and stored as a game history. When a player plays a game with the same type of game machine again, when accessing the dedicated web server with his / her mobile terminal, a character string (hereinafter referred to as an encoded game history information associated with the identification information of the mobile terminal) , This character string is called “password”) is displayed on the screen of the portable terminal. When the player inputs the password to the gaming machine, the player can start the game in a form that is a continuation of the previous game result.

  As a service function corresponding to a kind of item collection for a player, there is a function capable of collecting mission achievement records. The mission here is a condition for obtaining an item and a plurality of achievement conditions on the game displayed on the mobile terminal from the dedicated web server. For example, there is an achievement condition whose content is the appearance of a specific notice effect, and an achievement condition whose content is that the number of consecutive games per day reaches a specific number. For example, 100 types of missions are prepared in advance, and the player can enjoy a secondary game in which achievement records are collected.

  FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing a configuration example of a gaming system. The gaming system 320 includes a pachinko gaming machine 10 that is an example of a “gaming machine” and a gaming history server 314 that is an example of a “dedicated web server”. Pachinko gaming machine 10 and game history server 314 exchange information via portable terminal 310 owned by the player. First, a player captures and reads a two-dimensional code image 316 displayed on the liquid crystal screen of the pachinko gaming machine 10 by using a camera function built in his portable terminal 310, and the two-dimensional code image 316 is data such as a character string. To decrypt. The two-dimensional code image 316 is an image formed by two-dimensionally encoding data, and is displayed in a manner that can be captured by an imaging unit for executing a predetermined decoding process for restoring the encoded content. Encoding information to be generated. The two-dimensional code image 316 has various standards such as QR code (registered trademark), for example, and since the technology for converting various two-dimensional code images into character strings is well known, the description thereof is omitted. The decrypted character string information includes URL (Uniform Resource Locator) information as the network address information of the game history server 314, and the game history server 314 via the network 312 through the browser function of the mobile terminal 310 or dedicated application software. To access.

  In order for the pachinko gaming machine 10 and the game history server 314 to exchange information via the player's mobile terminal 310, it is assumed that the player's mobile terminal 310 is registered as a user in the game history server 314. However, a player who has not registered yet operates the pachinko gaming machine 10 to instruct execution of new user registration, and displays an initial two-dimensional code image 316 on the gaming machine screen. The two-dimensional code image 316 basically includes only the URL of the game history server 314. When the mobile terminal 310 accesses the game history server 314 indicated by the URL, an individual identification number that is unique identification information uniquely assigned to the mobile terminal 310 is transmitted to the game history server 314. The game history server 314 performs user registration using the individual identification number. The game history server 314 issues a new password to the mobile terminal 310. This password is data in which the game history is encoded, and when the player who confirms this on the screen inputs it with the button operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10, the player starts the game in the pachinko gaming machine 10 from that point. Is considered. The initial game history includes a parameter indicating that the game performance is zero.

  When the player tries to finish the game after the game time has elapsed, the player operates the pachinko gaming machine 10 to display the two-dimensional code image 316 on the screen. In the two-dimensional code image 316, information on game results from the start to the end of the game is encoded and included. When the player captures and reads the two-dimensional code image 316 with the mobile terminal 310, the mobile terminal 310 accesses the game history server 314 via the network 312 based on the URL obtained by the conversion, and information on the game results. Send. The game history server 314 stores the received game result information as game history data in association with the individual identification number of the mobile terminal 310. The game history server 314 aggregates game result information from a plurality of players, that is, a plurality of portable terminals 310, and obtains the actual appearance frequency for each effect by statistical processing.

  When a player newly starts a game on the pachinko gaming machine 10, when the mobile terminal 310 accesses the game history server 314, the mobile terminal 310 is recognized by the game history server 314 based on the individual identification number transmitted at the same time. The game history server 314 refers to the game history corresponding to the individual identification number and issues a new password. The player can start the game from the state in which the previous game history is reflected by inputting the password to the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  The two-dimensional code image 316 may include an error content indicating that a malicious fraud has been performed in the pachinko gaming machine 10. Since the game history server 314 accumulates the content of the error together with the game result, the game history server 314 can also estimate that the player who has exceeded the predetermined number of errors is a regular cheating agent. . For a player who the game history server 314 presumes to be a cheating agent, a measure for deleting the player's game history, a measure for displaying a warning on the player's mobile terminal 310, and a notification to the game store or manufacturer. Countermeasures such as measures can be taken.

  The plurality of types of errors that are notified when any malfunction occurs in the pachinko gaming machine 10 include an error that does not cancel the notification until the power is turned off, in view of affecting the progress of the game. In that case, for a player who is concerned about the damage or disappearance of the game result up to that point by turning off the power, the pachinko gaming machine 10 displays a two-dimensional code image 316 in which the game result up to that point is encoded on the screen. May be. In principle, the two-dimensional code image 316 is displayed in response to the input of the end instruction when the player intends to end the game. However, the display of the two-dimensional code image 316 at the time of error notification is Even if there is no termination instruction by the user, it is automatically displayed exceptionally. When the player shoots the two-dimensional code image 316 and the game result data is sent to the game history server 314, the data is stored as a backup, and the game result at the end of the official game is finally stored in the game history server. Discarded or combined when sent to 314.

  The output instruction of the two-dimensional code image 316 by the player to the pachinko gaming machine 10 may include a midway display instruction in the middle of the game in addition to the end instruction instructed at the end of the game. In the case of an end instruction, the pachinko gaming machine 10 displays the two-dimensional code image 316 and erases the stored game result information after a predetermined time, for example, 3 minutes have elapsed. On the other hand, in the case of a midway display instruction, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is premised on that the game continues after the two-dimensional code image 316 is displayed, and therefore the stored game result information is not erased. The player who gives the midway display instruction can check the game result at that time on the screen of the portable terminal 310 as an intermediate result. For example, this function is suitable for a purpose of confirming how many times the symbol variation display is currently in progress during a mission of repeating symbol variation display 5000 times a day.

  The plurality of missions prepared in the pachinko gaming machine 10 may include missions that have an achievement condition of displaying the two-dimensional code image 316 and shooting the image during the game. The two-dimensional code image 316 in this case is a special image displayed as a mission achievement condition, and is different from the two-dimensional code image 316 showing a normal game result. The display time of the two-dimensional code image 316 as a condition for accomplishing the mission is selected from a plurality of time lengths according to the gaming situation. If the display time is short, there is a high possibility that it will not be in time for shooting, and if the display time is long, there is a high possibility that the image can be taken calmly. For example, by adopting a configuration in which a longer display time is selected as the number of jackpots as a game result is increased, it is possible to realize a gameability such that a mission is easier to achieve as the jackpot is repeated.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 may have a so-called prefetch function. In other words, the winning winning opening is awarded, and temporary winning / failing determination, symbol determination, and variation pattern determination based on the winning / losing lottery value are executed before the start of the symbol variation display corresponding to the reserved winning / failing lottery value. At this time, it was found that a specific mission was achieved according to the results of provisional success / failure determination, symbol determination, and variation pattern determination, and the player did not register the password in the pachinko gaming machine 10 In some cases, the player may be notified of the mission completion notice. On the other hand, since it is difficult in time for the player to input the password by the mission achievement timing, the pachinko gaming machine 10 regards the password as being temporarily registered by simply pressing the button. After that, if the symbol change stops and the lottery value is no longer held and the password is officially entered when the demo screen is displayed, the game result that goes back to the timing of temporary registration is output at the end of the game. It is reflected in the result.

  The two-dimensional code image 316 may include information on the symbol type when a big hit occurs and information on the number of symbol fluctuation display times until the big hit that occurs next. In this case, even if a big hit occurs, whether or not the big hit is accompanied by a probability variation is not clearly stated in the production, and it is assumed that it is indicated by a number of special symbols prepared. Some players recognize which types of jackpots are associated with fluctuations in probability based on knowledge gained from magazines, the Internet, and their own experience, but for newly launched models, which symbol types Information about whether the big hit with probability fluctuation is not widespread. Here, the information of the symbol type and the symbol variation display count is accumulated in the game history server 314 and is aggregated together with the symbol type and symbol variation display count information transmitted by other players. The average symbol variation display count is calculated. The game history server 314 causes the portable terminal 310 to display the average symbol variation display count for each symbol in response to a display request from the player. Thereby, the player can obtain statistical information from the game history server 314 and use it as a judgment material when estimating a jackpot symbol with a probability variation.

  The pachinko gaming machine 10 may incorporate a real-time clock, and may generate a specific performance at a specific date and time based on date and time information based on the real-time clock. In particular, when the product of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is shipped, information on the shipping date or the amusement store introduction date is registered in the pachinko gaming machine 10 in advance, and the shipping date such as “a specific effect is generated on the third day from the shipping or introduction” Or the production | generation of the production | generation based on a game shop introduction date is realizable. The occurrence of such a specific production may be one of the missions.

  Among the plurality of missions prepared for the pachinko gaming machine 10, it is determined that the mission has been achieved when the time from the password input time to the display time of the two-dimensional code image 316 at the end of the game exceeds a predetermined time. Missions may be included. The mission may be further conditional on the password input time being within a predetermined time from the first reference time set as the opening time of the amusement store. In addition, the display time of the two-dimensional code image 316 at the end of the game may be further conditional on being within a predetermined time from the second reference time set as the closing time of the game store. Further, the condition may be that the number of symbol variation display times from the password input time to the display time of the two-dimensional code image 316 at the end of the game exceeds a predetermined number of times. In addition, in the plurality of missions prepared in the pachinko gaming machine 10, the game is continuously played on the same gaming machine across multiple days, and the game time is a predetermined time or more in any of the multiple days It may include a mission that is determined to have been achieved.

  Among a plurality of missions prepared for pachinko gaming machine 10, the game of the same stand crosses the stop of power supply (typically it can be said that it has been opened from the closing of the amusement store, that is, it can be said to straddle two days) A mission may be included that is determined to have been achieved when a game is played continuously on a machine, or when a game is played while continuing an advantageous gaming state across a stoppage of power supply. This advantageous game state may be a specific game state that is a game state that is more advantageous than the normal game for the player, and may be a probability change state or a short-time state. According to this aspect, since the achievement of the mission is facilitated by playing from the opening of the gaming store, it is possible to give the player an incentive to play from the opening of the gaming store.

  The mission is saved in the backup memory that it was in an advantageous gaming state when the power was turned off the day before, etc., and when the advantageous gaming state was continued when the gaming machine was turned on, a password was entered It may be a condition that it is done. According to this aspect, it is possible to take over an advantageous gaming state from the stop to the start of power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 10, and it is possible to reliably identify the starting point of the game by inputting the password, and to issue the password It is possible to promote user registration as a premise.

  Further, it may be further made a condition that the information indicating the gaming state stored in the backup memory of the gaming machine and the information indicating the gaming state included in the password first input after power-on match. The information indicating the game state may be information that can identify the player. For example, the game state at the end of the previous game (typically, the two-dimensional code image display time of the previous day) may match. Good. For example, the game state stored in the backup memory of the gaming machine may be a specific game state (for example, a probability change state or a short time state), and a password that is initially input after power-on may also indicate a specific game state. The information indicating the gaming state may be a player ID given in advance to the player, an ID given in advance to the gaming machine, or a combination thereof. Good. According to this aspect, it becomes easier for the player who played in an advantageous gaming state until the previous day and the player who took over that gaming state the next day to meet the mission condition, It can be encouraged to play until the store is closed and to play from the time the game store is opened.

  `` Renso '' means that a big hit occurs while the probability variation state continues from the occurrence of the jackpot with probability variation, and the total jackpot that is generated while the probability variation state continues from the occurrence of the jackpot with probability variation is `` As the “number of times in the villa”, the number of times may be held, and the number of times may be stored in the backup memory during the period from the stop of the power supply to the start. In a plurality of missions, the information indicating the gaming state stored in the backup memory of the gaming machine and the information indicating the gaming state included in the password first input after the power is turned on match. A mission may be included that is determined to have been achieved when the number of times per home is equal to or greater than a predetermined number.

  The number of hits in the villa in this embodiment is counted as “1” when the first big hit with probability change occurs and the second big hit does not occur in the probability change state after the end of the special game. In addition, the first big hit with probability change occurs on a certain day, and the power supply is stopped in the probability change state after the end of the special game (for example, the game store is closed), and after the power supply is started (for example, the game store of the next day) When the probability change state is resumed after the opening), it is counted as “once”. As a modified example, a new jackpot may be made a condition for the extended game after the end of the previous special game and before a predetermined number of winning / losing lotteries are executed. Furthermore, after the end of the previous special game, a new big hit is made until the game ball wins a predetermined number of times at the start port 62, or until the special symbol 192 or the decorative symbol 190 is variably displayed a predetermined number of times. Occurrence of the above may be a condition of the Renso.

  According to this aspect, when the same player has achieved the predetermined number of times in the consecutive resort with the stop of the power supply, it is possible to provide an effect indicating that. Thereby, it is possible to encourage the player to play until the game store is closed and to play from the opening of the game store on the next day.

Note that the special symbol 192 is not limited to the above numbers or symbols, and may be letters such as English letters, or may be a generally meaningless symbol formed by a combination of segments constituting a 7-segment LED. May be. Further, the 7-segment LED may be composed of 8 segments including 7 segments forming “eight-letter shape” and 1 segment representing “dot”. In this case, a numerical value for 8 bits can be expressed by combining 8 segments. Further, the special symbol display device 61 may be an LED dot array that is not a 7-segment LED, and a plurality of types of special symbols 192 may be expressed by combinations of lighting patterns and lighting colors.

  The effect display device 60 is a display device configured by a liquid crystal display that displays the decorative symbol 190 in a variable manner in conjunction with the variable symbol display of the special symbol 192. The decorative symbol 190 is a symbol for visually rendering the lottery result display indicated by the special symbol 192. The effect display device 60 displays, for example, a moving image that fluctuates a plurality of rows of symbols simulating a game of a slot machine as a decorative symbol 190 in the central area of the screen. In this embodiment, symbols composed of numbers “0” to “9” are displayed and varied in three columns, and hit or miss is indicated by three symbol combinations that are finally stopped and displayed. Each of the plurality of symbols constituting the decorative symbol 190 is composed of numbers, characters, or symbols that are decorated with colors or patterns, but these symbols, characters, or symbols are common to all symbols. You may comprise in the form which adds a different pattern for every and integrates them. This pattern is a pattern on which a motif related to the theme of decoration or production set for the model of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is drawn, and for example, a pattern on which a character of a person or an animal is drawn may be used. The decorative pattern 190 is switched according to the development of the effect between the case where the design that includes the design is variably displayed and the case where the design is separated and only the numbers, characters, and symbols are variably displayed. It may be a configuration. On the background of the variation display of the decoration symbol 190, a moving image having a staging effect related to the theme of decoration or production set for the model of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is displayed in conjunction with the symbol variation.

  The effect display device 60 is configured by a high-definition dot matrix type display device such as a liquid crystal display in this embodiment, but may be configured by a mechanical display unit such as a drum rotation type or a display unit such as an LED matrix type. Good. Since the special symbol 192 does not necessarily have a role of production, in this embodiment, the special symbol display device 61 on the lower left side of the production display device 60 is displayed in an inconspicuous size. However, in the case of adopting a technique in which the special symbol itself has an effect role to express without using the decorative symbol, the special symbol may be displayed on the liquid crystal display instead of the 7-segment LED.

  The operation port 68 is provided at the left side position of the game board 50. The operation port 68 includes a passage detection device 69. The passage detection device 69 is a sensor that detects the passage of the game ball to the operation port 68, and generates passage information indicating the passage at the time of passage. The passage of the game ball to the operation port 68 triggers an open lottery that determines whether or not the expansion mechanism 63 is expanded. When the game ball passes through the operation port 68, a normal symbol, which is a symbol indicating the result of the open lottery, is variably displayed on the normal symbol display device 59. Therefore, the open lottery is also called “ordinary symbol lottery”. The normal symbol display device 59 in this embodiment is composed of two lamps for convenience, and the display state of the normal symbols is expressed by which of these lamps is lit. For example, when the first lamp is turned off and the second lamp is hit, the normal symbol fluctuation display is expressed by alternately turning on and off, and finally one of the lights is turned on. A stop symbol of a normal symbol is expressed by being stopped in the state. The normal symbol display device 59 is provided on the lower right side of the effect display device 60. After a predetermined time has elapsed since the start of the change, the normal symbol change display stops. At this time, in the normal state, the normal symbol stops at the winning symbol with a low probability of, for example, about 1/256, and in the easy entry state described later, the normal symbol is in the winning symbol with a high probability of, for example, about 250/256. Stop. When the normal symbol stops at the winning symbol, the expansion mechanism 63 is expanded for a predetermined time. The opening time of the spreading mechanism 63 is, for example, 0.1 seconds in the normal state, and 6 seconds in the easy entry state.

  A center ornament 64 is provided around the effect display device 60. The center decoration 64 has functions such as a flow path of the game ball, protection of the effect display device 60, and decoration. The special symbol hold display device 20 is provided at the lower left portion of the game area 52, and the normal symbol hold display device 22 is provided below the normal symbol display device 59 at the lower right portion of the game area 52, which is the symmetrical position. ing.

  The special symbol hold display device 20 is composed of four lamps, and displays the number of lottery holds depending on the number of lights. The number of lottery holds is the number of lottery results won to the start port 62 during symbol variation or special game, and indicates the number of winning balls for which symbol variation has not yet been executed. When the number of lottery holds is three, the symbol variation time in the case of a loss is shortened from the normal time in order to increase game efficiency (hereinafter also referred to as “shortening variation”). Similarly, when the number of pending lottery holds is 4, in order to further increase the game efficiency, the symbol variation time in the case of losing is further shortened than in the case of the above 3 (hereinafter also referred to as “super shortened variation”). ).

  The normal symbol hold display device 22 is also composed of four lamps, and displays the number of normal symbol fluctuation hold depending on the number of lights. The number of normal symbol fluctuations held is the number of game balls that have passed through the operation port 68 during the fluctuation of the normal symbol, and indicates the number of normal symbol lotteries for which the fluctuation of the normal symbol has not yet been executed.

  Game effect lamps 90 are respectively provided above and below the effect display device 60. The decision button 82 is an input means that is operated by the player to input a predetermined instruction to the gaming machine. In the present embodiment, for example, the player presses the decision button 82 as an instruction for starting the display of the two-dimensional code image 316 or the input of a password. The cross button 84 is an input means that is operated by the player to indicate each of the up, down, left, and right directions, and either the up, down, left, or right directions are indicated by the direction indicated by the pressed button. For example, when a character string of a password is input, a direction instruction for moving the cursor position in the screen is given by pressing the cross button 84. The enter button 82 and the cross button 84 are provided at positions adjacent to each other on the outer wall surface near the upper ball tray 15. The movable accessory 140 is a movable object whose operation is controlled in conjunction with the effect, and plays an effect role by the operation.

  An outline of a game method and a control flow performed in the above configuration will be described. When the player turns the launch handle 17 by hand, the game balls stored in the upper ball tray 15 are guided one by one to the inner rail 56 and the outer rail 54 with a strength corresponding to the turning angle, thereby playing the game area. To 52. When the player fixes the rotation position of the firing handle 17 by hand, the game ball is repeatedly fired at regular time intervals. The game ball launched to the upper part of the game area 52 falls in a direction according to the way of hitting while hitting a plurality of game nails and windmills. When a game ball is dropped into each of the general winning port 72, the start port 62, and the big winning port 66, the winning ball corresponding to the type of the winning port is paid out to the upper ball plate 15 or the lower ball plate 16. A game ball dropped into each winning hole such as the general winning hole 72 is processed as a safe ball, and a game ball dropped into the out hole 58 is processed as an out ball. Each winning opening includes a gate type through which a game ball passes. In this application, “incoming”, “entering”, and “winning” include “passing”.

  When the game ball falls into the start port 62, the special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 190 are variably displayed on the special symbol display device 61 and the effect display device 60. The variation display of the special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 190 is stopped after the lapse of the variation display time determined prior to the display. The special symbol 192 is variably displayed in accordance with a variation pattern in which a variation mode from the variation start to the stop is determined. The decorative symbol 190 is variably displayed according to a variation effect pattern in which a variation mode from the start to the end of the variation is determined. A plurality of types of variation patterns and variation production patterns are prepared, and each has various variation times. While the special symbol 192 is variably displayed according to the variation pattern, the decorative symbol 190 is variably displayed according to the variation effect pattern having the same variation time. In the variation pattern, a variation display time is determined for each pattern as an end condition of the symbol variation, and the variation of the special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 190 is stopped when the variation display time elapses.

  As a variation display of the decorative symbol 190, first, as the variation starts, the symbols are varied in all three columns like the reel rotation of the slot machine, and when it approaches the variation end timing, it is stopped one by one as a final stop mode. The symbol combination is displayed. When the special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 190 at the time of the stop are in a stop mode indicating a big hit, the game shifts to a special game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game, and the opening / closing operation of the big prize opening 66 is started. The The stop mode of the decorative symbol 190 indicating a big hit is, for example, a combination mode in which the types of three symbols match.

  The variation effect pattern includes a normal loss effect pattern, a reach failure effect pattern, and a reach jackpot effect pattern. The normal off effect pattern is an effect pattern for displaying a normal off symbol combination. The reach out effect pattern is an effect pattern for displaying an out symbol combination through a reach state, which is a big win if one more symbols are arranged. The reach jackpot effect pattern is an effect pattern when displaying a jackpot symbol combination through the reach state. In particular, the patterns when reaching the reach state include patterns with various long and short fluctuation times. Reach patterns with relatively short fluctuation times are called “normal reach”, and reach patterns with long fluctuation times are called “super reach”. ".

  The special game is started by displaying an effect screen called start demonstration time. After the start demonstration time is displayed on the screen, the grand prize winning opening 66 is opened, and after the opening continues for about 30 seconds, or after 9 or more game balls are dropped, the game is closed once. From such opening to closing of the big prize opening 66 is basically called a unit game, but it may be repeated a plurality of short-time opening during one unit game. After the opening / closing of the special prize opening 66 or the unit game is repeated a predetermined number of times, for example, 15 times, the special game is ended by displaying an effect screen called an end demo time. On the other hand, when the winning / losing lottery corresponds to a result called “small hit”, the small hit game is executed. The small hit is a result included as a result of the lottery. The small hit game is a unit game executed in a manner similar to some types of special games. However, the unit game executed as a small hit game is only one time, which is different from a special game in which a plurality of unit games are executed.

  In the normal game after the end of the special game, the fluctuation time of the special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 190, which are one of the specific games, is started (hereinafter referred to as “time reduction” as appropriate). The time shortening of the special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 190 is a state in which the variation time of the special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 190 is shortened from the normal state. The variation time of the special symbol 192 and the decoration symbol 190 is returned to the original variation time after a predetermined variation number, for example, 100 variation display, but if the big hit occurs before the variation number is reached, the time is shortened. Also ends. Due to the shortening of time, the variation time of the special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 190 is shortened, so that it is possible to shorten the time until the big hit occurs compared to the normal state where the symbol variation is performed with the normal variation time. Therefore, it is possible to relatively increase the jackpot acquisition ease.

  During the time shortening of the special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 190, the easy entry state which is one of the specific games is performed. The easy entry state is a state in which the ease of entering the starting port 62 is enhanced by executing the short time of the normal symbol, the probability variation of the open lottery, and the open extension of the expansion mechanism 63. The normal symbol time reduction is a state in which the variation time of the normal symbol is shortened from the normal state. The probability variation of the open lottery is a state in which the winning probability of the open lottery is higher than the normal state. The opening extension of the spreading mechanism 63 is a state in which the opening time of the spreading mechanism 63 is longer than the normal state. As described above, in the easy entry state, the possibility that the number of fluctuations of the normal symbol per certain time increases as compared to the normal state increases, and the ease of entering the start opening 62 also increases. There is a high possibility that the number of entering will increase. Therefore, due to the shortened time of the special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 190 and the easy entry state, the chance to obtain a winning ball by entering the starting port 62 increases during that period, and as a result, the player can play the game with little decrease in possession. It is possible to continue.

  Note that the easy entry state in the present embodiment increases the ease of entering the starting port 62 by using three functions such as a short time for a normal symbol, a probability variation of an open lottery, and an open / extended extension of the expansion mechanism 63. However, as a modification, it is good also as a structure which improves the entrance ease to the starting port 62 using one or two functions among these three functions. Thus, even if only a part of the three functions is used, it is possible to improve the ease of entering the starting port 62. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which switches according to a gaming state at least any one of three functions by the period to implement and the period which does not implement.

  When a special game occurs and the winning stop pattern at that time is in a specific mode, the probability variation game of the winning lottery (hereinafter referred to as “probability change” as appropriate) that is one of the specific games after the end of the special game ) Is further started. During the chance change of the winning / failing lottery, the winning / failing lottery with a higher probability of winning than the normal probability state is performed, and a new special game can be generated relatively early. The probability change of the success / failure lottery is continued until the next big hit occurs, but as a modification, it may be configured to end when a predetermined limited number of symbol changes are made. In this embodiment, the special symbol 192 and the decorative symbol 190 are started at the same time as when the probability change is started, and the easy entry state is also started. May be executed.

This is achieved when the number of times becomes 10). Hereinafter, these missions are collectively referred to as “continuous game missions”.

  FIG. 7 shows functional blocks of the pachinko gaming machine 10 in this embodiment. In the pachinko gaming machine 10, the game control device 100 includes a start port 62, a big winning port 66, a general winning port 72, an operating port 68, a special symbol display device 61, an effect display device 60, a normal symbol display device 59, and a decision button 82. The cross button 84, the speaker 18, the game effect lamp 90, and the movable accessory 140 are electrically connected to each other, and can transmit and receive various control signals. The game control apparatus 100 controls not only the basic operation of the game but also the staging operations such as the symbol variation display, the movable accessory 140, and the electric decoration. The game control device 100 is configured in such a manner that functions are shared between a main board 102 that controls the overall operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 including basic operations of the game, and a sub board 104 that controls design effects and the like. The game control device 100 is configured by hardware including elements such as a ROM and a RAM for storing data and programs, and a CPU used for arithmetic processing.

  In the present embodiment, the main board 102 is a ball determination unit 110, a winning / failing lottery unit 112, a symbol determination unit 114, a variation pattern determination unit 115, a hold control unit 116, a main display control unit 118, a special game control unit 120, a specific game. An execution unit 122, an opening / closing control unit 124, and a game state storage unit 400 are provided. In the present embodiment, the sub-board 104 includes a pattern storage unit 130, a design mode determination unit 131, an effect determination unit 132, an effect display control unit 134, an accessory control unit 136, a history processing unit 138, a number storage unit 402, and a number update unit. 404 and a matching judgment means 406 are provided. Each functional block included in the main board 102 may be configured such that any one of the functional blocks is mounted on the sub board 104 instead of the main board 102. Similarly, each functional block included in the sub-board 104 may be configured such that any one of them is mounted on the main board 102 instead of the sub-board 104.

  However, since data transmission / reception between the main board 102 and the sub board 104 is unidirectional from the main board 102 to the sub board 104, each operation is performed so that the entire operation is realized by such data transmission / reception in one direction. The configuration is arranged on the main board 102 and the sub board 104. In this way, since the unidirectionality of data transmission from the main board 102 to the sub board 104 is maintained, data cannot be transmitted from the configuration included in the sub board 104 to the configuration included in the main board 102. It is not possible to request data transmission. Therefore, the information generated on the main board 102 cannot be referred to from the sub board 104 unless the main board 102 unilaterally transmits the information to the sub board 104.

  The entrance determination means 110 determines whether or not a game ball has entered each winning opening. When receiving the start winning information, the winning determination means 110 determines that the game ball has won the start opening 62, and when receiving the big winning opening winning information, determines that the game ball has won the big winning opening 66, and the general winning is obtained. When the information is received, it is determined that the game ball has won the general winning opening 72. When receiving the passage information, the ball entering determination unit 110 determines that the game ball has passed through the operation port 68.

  The success / failure lottery means 112 obtains, as a success / failure lottery value, a random number value for determining whether or not to shift to a special game that is more advantageous to the player than the normal game when the starting hole 62 is entered. To do. For example, the success / failure lottery value is acquired from a value range from “0” to “65535”. The “random number” in the present application may not be a mathematically generated random number, but may be a pseudo-random number generated by a hardware random number, a software random number, or the like. The value acquired as the success / failure lottery value by the success / failure lottery means 112 is temporarily held by the hold control means 116. However, the lottery value is held within a range not exceeding the predetermined holding upper limit number.

  The success / failure lottery means 112 holds a plurality of success / failure tables to be referred to in the success / failure determination. In the plurality of success / failure tables, determination results of big hits, small wins, and misses are associated with the success / failure lottery values, and the success / failure probabilities are determined according to the associated jackpot range settings. The success / failure lottery means 112 refers to the success / failure table based on the normal probability at the normal time, and refers to the success / failure table whose probability of winning is higher than the normal probability when the probability changes. The success / failure lottery means 112 refers to any of the plurality of success / failure tables and determines whether or not the success / failure lottery value is a win.

  The success / failure lottery means 112 acquires a lottery value as an open lottery for determining a normal symbol when the game ball passes through the operation port 68. The success / failure lottery means 112 holds a success / failure table in which the correspondence between the lottery value of the open lottery and the success / failure result is determined, and determines the success / failure result of the open lottery with reference to the success / failure table. In the normal state, the winning / failing table with a probability of 1/256 is referred to, and in the easy entry state, the winning / failing table with a probability of 250/256 is referred to. The lottery value of the normal symbol is temporarily held by the hold control means 116. However, the lottery value is held only when the predetermined hold upper limit number held by the hold control means 116 is not exceeded.

  The determination result by the success / failure lottery means 112 is variably displayed in a special symbol form on the special symbol display device 61. In addition, a decorative symbol that shows the determination result by the success / failure lottery means 112 in an effect manner is variably displayed on the effect display device 60. The success / failure lottery means 112 transmits the lottery result corresponding to the symbol variation to the symbol mode determining unit 131 and the effect determining unit 132 together with the symbol variation control command at the timing of starting the symbol variation.

  The symbol determination means 114 determines the stop symbol of the special symbol to be displayed on the special symbol display device 61 according to the lottery result by the success / failure lottery means 112. The symbol determination means 114 holds a symbol range table to be referred to in order to determine a special symbol stop symbol. The symbol determination means 114 acquires a symbol determination lottery value for determining a special symbol, and determines the stop symbol of the special symbol according to the determination result of the success / failure lottery means 112 and the symbol determination lottery value.

  The symbol determination means 114 determines the stop symbol of the normal symbol to be displayed on the normal symbol display device 59 according to the result of the open lottery by the success / failure lottery means 112. The symbol determination means 114 determines the stop symbol of the normal symbol according to the result of the open lottery in order to display the result of the open lottery in the normal symbol display device 59 in the form of a normal symbol. When the determined stop symbol becomes a predetermined symbol, it is determined that the normal symbol is a hit, and after the change display of the normal symbol is stopped at the stop symbol, the opening / closing control means 124 expands the start port 62. The opening mechanism 63 is expanded for a predetermined time.

  The symbol determination unit 114 sends data indicating the determined stop symbol to the main display control unit 118, the symbol mode determination unit 131, and the effect determination unit 132.

  The variation pattern determination means 115 selects any variation pattern from a plurality of types of variation patterns according to the result of the success / failure lottery. The variation pattern determining means 115 holds a variation pattern table to be referred to in order to determine the variation pattern. The variation pattern determination unit 115 sends data indicating the determined variation pattern to the main display control unit 118, the symbol mode determination unit 131, and the effect determination unit 132. The variation pattern determination unit 115 stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. A plurality of types of variation patterns are defined on the assumption that there are various variation times, short and long, and that symbol variation is also performed by a decorative symbol composed of a plurality of symbols in the variation time. In each variation pattern, a variation display time is defined for each pattern as an end condition of the symbol variation, and the variation of the special symbol and the decorative symbol is stopped when the variation display time elapses.

  The variation pattern determining means 115 determines the variation display time of the normal symbol. In the normal state, the variable display time is determined to be 60 seconds, and in the easy entry state, the variable display time is determined to be 6 seconds.

  When there is a new entry at the start port 62 and a new winning / failing lottery is executed, the holding control means 116 displays a new entry when a symbol change corresponding to the previous entry or lottery is displayed. The result of the success / failure lottery based on is suspended until the start of variable display of the symbol corresponding to the lottery. In the present embodiment, as a result of the lottery determination, the number of the lottery is held as a holding ball with an upper limit of four. The success / failure lottery value here includes a success / failure lottery value, a symbol lottery value, and a variation pattern lottery value. The holding control means 116 further holds the usual lottery value acquired by the success / failure lottery means 112 as a holding ball. These numbers of holdings are represented by the number of lighting or blinking numbers of the special symbol holding display device 20 and the normal symbol holding display device 22, respectively.

  The main display control means 118 causes the special symbol display device 61 to display the lottery result by the success / failure lottery means 112 as a variation display of the special symbol 192 according to the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination unit 115. The main display control means 118 sets a new symbol variation start condition that the symbol variation display corresponding to the success / failure lottery performed before that has ended. The main display control means 118 transmits a change start command and a change stop command to the effect display control means 134 at the timing for starting and stopping the change display of the special symbol 192. When the variation start command is transmitted, values indicating the determined determination result, the stop symbol, and the variation pattern are transmitted to the effect display control means 134 together with the variation start command. When transmitting the variation stop command, a value indicating the stop symbol is transmitted to the effect display control means 134 together with the variation stop command. Thereby, the fluctuation display by the main display control means 118 and the effect display control means 134 is synchronized, and the interlock is maintained. The main display control means 118 displays the result of the normal symbol lottery on the normal symbol display device 59 as a normal symbol variation display.

  The special game control means 120 indicates that the special game operation condition is established when the special symbol 192 is stopped in a predetermined big hit mode when the success / failure lottery by the success / failure lottery means 112 results in the transition to the special game. A special game is executed by determining and opening the special winning opening 66. The special game is a game in which the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening 66 is continuously performed a plurality of times, and is configured by a plurality of unit games with one opening / closing as a unit. Special games include a 15R jackpot that repeats a unit game 15 times and a 2R jackpot that repeats a unit game that has a shorter opening time than the 15R jackpot only twice. In the case of 15R jackpot, in principle, the big winning opening 66 is opened for about 30 seconds in one unit game. In the case of 2R big hit, the big winning opening 66 is opened for about 0.5 seconds in one unit game. The special game control means 120 ends the special game when the set round number of unit games is exhausted. Even in the case of 2R big hit, if the predetermined condition is satisfied, the big winning opening 66 may be opened in the same manner as the 15R big hit.

  The specific game executing means 122 controls the normal game in the probability changing state, the short time state, and the easy-to-enter state. The specific game execution means 122 shifts the game state to the time-saving state and the easy-to-enter state after the end of the special game. On the other hand, the transition to the probability variation state after the end of the special game is limited to the case where the symbol determined by the symbol determination means 114 is a big hit symbol accompanied by the transition to probability variation. The short-time state and the easy-to-enter state are continued until the number of times of display of the special symbol 192 reaches a predetermined number of end conditions, for example, 100 times from the end of the special game. However, when the state changes to the probability changing state at the same time, as long as the probability changing state continues, the short time state and the easy entry state are continued. That is, it continues until the next big hit occurs. Thus, the end of the short time state and the easy entry state is determined according to the gaming state. In the short time state, the fluctuation pattern determining means 115 selects a fluctuation pattern having a short fluctuation time so that the fluctuation display time of the special symbol 192 is substantially shortened. However, in a normal state, a variation pattern table corresponding to the number of holds of the result of lottery determination by the hold control unit 116 is referred to, and a change pattern with a long variation time is likely to appear as the number of hold by the hold control unit 116 decreases. In the easy entry state, the normal symbol time is shortened, the normal symbol probability change, and the expansion mechanism 63 is opened and extended. On the other hand, the probability variation state is continued until a special game with the next jackpot is executed. During the probable change state, the probability that the success / failure determination result by the success / failure lottery means 112 is a big hit is maintained at a high value.

  The gaming state storage unit 400 holds information indicating the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10. Specifically, when the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is in a specific game state, information indicating the state of the specific game is held. The gaming state storage unit 400 holds information indicating the gaming state in a non-volatile memory called a backup memory that can hold the memory even when the power supply of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned off, from the stop to the restart of power supply. In other words, information indicating the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is continuously held across the stop of power supply.

  The specific game execution means 122 refers to the game state held in the game state storage means 400 when detecting the start of power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 10. When the game state indicates a specific game, the specific game execution means 122 sets the game state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 as the specific game state. That is, if the backup memory is not cleared while the power supply is stopped, if the game is in the specific game state when the power supply is stopped, the game is started in the specific game state after the power supply is resumed.

  The opening / closing control means 124 controls the opening / closing of the ordinary electric accessory at the start opening 62 and the special winning opening 66. When the normal symbol is stopped at a specific symbol, the opening / closing control unit 124 sends an opening instruction to the ordinary electric accessory solenoid 76 to open the start port 62. Further, the opening / closing control means 124 sends an opening instruction to the special winning opening solenoid 80 during the special game, and opens the special winning opening 66.

  The pattern storage means 130 holds a plurality of effect patterns in which effect image contents to be displayed on the effect display device 60 in the variation of the decorative design 190 and the display process thereof are determined. The effect pattern is displayed separately from a plurality of variable effect patterns in which the change process from start to stop of the change and the change process in the change display of the decorative pattern 190 and the change display of the decorative pattern are displayed, and the degree of expectation for the jackpot And a plurality of notice effect patterns that suggest the height of the notice before the stop of the variable display. The pattern storage unit 130 also holds an effect pattern indicating that various missions are to be displayed when various missions including continuous game missions are achieved.

  The effect determining means 132 determines the contents of the effect displayed on the effect display device 60 by the effect display control means 134 according to the result of the success / failure lottery received from the success / failure lottery means 112. The effect determining means 132 selects one of a plurality of change effect pattern data corresponding to the change pattern of the special symbol determined by the change pattern determining means 115, reads out the data from the pattern storage means 130, and obtains information on the change effect pattern. This is sent to the effect display control means 134. The effect determining means 132 holds a pattern table that should be referred to in order to select a variable effect pattern.

  Each variation effect pattern has a variation time for each pattern as an end condition of the symbol variation, and the symbol variation is stopped when the variation time elapses. The effect determining unit 132 selects a variation effect pattern of the effect image having the same variation time according to the variation pattern of the special symbol.

  The symbol form determining means 131 determines the combination of stop symbols of the decorative symbol 190 and their arrangement according to the result of the lottery by the winning / failing lottery means 112, the special symbol stop symbol, the special symbol variation pattern, and the decorative symbol variation effect pattern. decide. The symbol form determination unit 131 transmits information indicating the determined combination of stop symbols to the effect display control unit 134. The symbol form determining means 131 holds a symbol range table to be referred to in order to determine the stop symbol of the decorative symbol.

  The stop symbol of the decorative symbol 190 is formed as a combination of three symbols. For example, when the determination result of the success / failure lottery means 112 indicates a transition to a special game of 15R jackpot, a specific combination such as “777” or “ A combination of three symbols such as “111” is selected. In this case, it is preferable that the same numbers as the special symbols 192 are selected as the numbers to be arranged as the decorative symbols 190, but the numbers may not necessarily be the same. For example, when the special symbol 192 is “7”, the decorative symbol 190 is “777”. A specific combination, for example, a predetermined combination such as “357” is also selected when the result of the determination is a 2R big hit or a small hit, but the specific combination is not necessarily a combination of three symbols. It does not have to be. When the determination result is neither big hit nor small hit, it is a combination in which three symbols such as “312” and “946” are not arranged, and a specific combination selected at the time of 2R big hit or small hit A combination that does not apply is selected. When the determination result is not 15R big hit, and a variation pattern indicating a loss with reach is selected, a combination with only one symbol such as “191” or “727” is selected. .

  The notice effect pattern is an effect pattern for temporarily displaying an image, animation, video, or the like of a specific character or motif, or an effect pattern for outputting a specific sound. The effect by the notice effect pattern is executed in parallel with the symbol variation, and suggests that the symbol variation is highly expected to stop in the big hit mode. For example, there are a normal notice effect in which only one character image is displayed on the screen, and a group notice effect in which a large number of characters are displayed so as to pass from one end to the other end of the screen. Further, the display process of the notice effect is divided into a plurality of stages, and the number of stages to be displayed is made variable, and a step-up notice effect that is set such that the greater the number of stages is, the higher the degree of expectation for the big hit is included.

  The notice effect pattern includes a pattern in which the effect is executed at a timing after the display mode of the decorative symbol 190 reaches the reach state and the final stop mode of the symbol is notified, and no decorative symbol 190 is stopped. There is a pattern in which the performance is executed at the timing and the reach is reached at the same time.

  The effect determining means 132 determines whether or not to display the notice effect on the effect display device 60 according to the result of the lottery determination, makes a pre-effect setting, and determines the notice effect pattern to be displayed. To do. The effect determining means 132 holds a notice determination table that should be referred to in order to determine whether or not to display the notice effect, and a notice type table that should be referred to when selecting the type of the notice effect pattern. The notice determination table is set so that different columns are referred to depending on the result of the success / failure lottery and the type of the variation pattern. For example, the correspondence relationship between whether or not to display the notice lottery result and the notice effect is determined so that the notice effect is displayed with a higher probability when the winning lottery is a win than when it is missed. Also, the correspondence between the selection result of the variation pattern and whether or not the announcement effect is displayed so that the announcement effect is displayed with a higher probability when the variation pattern that suggests that the probability of a big hit is relatively high. Is determined. With these correspondences, individual selection probabilities are determined for each notice effect pattern. Thereby, the high expectation degree to the big hit can be suggested by displaying the notice effect itself.

  The effect determining unit 132 holds a plurality of types of mission patterns in which a plurality of mission achievement conditions are defined. Each time the effect determining means 132 selects a variable effect pattern or a notice effect pattern, it is determined whether there is a mission pattern that satisfies the achievement condition. If there is a mission pattern that satisfies the condition, its type and The effect display control means 134 displays the effect to the effect on the screen.

  The effect display control means 134 causes the effect display device 60 to variably display the effect image including the decorative pattern according to the selected change effect pattern data as a result of the success / failure lottery by the success / failure lottery means 112. The effect display control means 134 starts a new symbol variation when a variation start command for the decorative symbol 190 is received.

  When it is determined by the effect determining unit 132 that the notice effect is displayed, the effect display control means 134 superimposes the notice effect in accordance with the selected notice effect pattern on the effect of symbol variation to the effect display device 60. Display. The effect display control means 134 further controls effect processing such as lighting and extinguishing of the game effect lamp 90 and sound output from the speaker 18.

  In accordance with the instruction received from the effect display control means 134, the accessory control means 136 causes the movable accessory 140 to act in an effect manner in accordance with the effect contents in the effect display device 60 and the blinking process of the game effect lamp 90. The history processing means 138 processes game result output and password input.

  FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing in detail the configuration of the history processing means 138. The history processing unit 138 includes an input control unit 142, a data extraction unit 144, a game history storage unit 146, a code generation unit 148, and an output control unit 150.

  The input control means 142 acquires instructions and character string information input by the player operating the enter button 82 and the cross button 84 as input means. More specifically, the instruction content and the character string are specified based on the selection signals received from the enter button 82 and the cross button 84. The instruction content includes, for example, an instruction to display the two-dimensional code image 316 on the screen and an instruction to display a password input screen. As a method for specifying a character string, a five-digit character string as a password is recognized by specifying each character or symbol designated by the player from among a plurality of character symbol candidates based on a selection signal. To do. Typically, the input control means 142 acquires a password from the player as information indicating the start of the game via the enter button 82 and the cross button 84. When predetermined information indicating the end of the game is acquired via the enter button 82 and the cross button 84, the code generation means 148 is notified to that effect and the two-dimensional code image 316 is generated.

  The data extraction means 144 receives the password character string from the input control means 142, and extracts the game history data of the player in the gaming machine model from the 25-bit data obtained by decoding the character string according to a predetermined decoding method. . For example, it is predetermined as a data configuration specification that a bit string in a predetermined range of 25-bit data indicates a game history, and the game history is extracted in accordance with the specification. The game history extracted in the present embodiment includes information indicating the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 at the time of the end of the game immediately before the player. The extracted game history data is sent to the game history storage means 146.

  The game history storage means 146 includes a volatile memory also called RWM (Read Write Memory) and a backup memory that can hold the memory even when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned off. The backup memory may be configured so that the memory can be retained even if the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned off by providing a dedicated backup power source for energizing the volatile memory, or configured by a nonvolatile memory such as an EEPROM. May be. When a backup power source is provided, a volatile memory different from the RWM may be used as the backup memory, or a configuration may be adopted in which a backup power source is provided in a single RWM and used as both the RWM and the backup memory. The game history storage unit 146 receives the extracted game history data from the data extraction unit 144 and stores it in the RWM until an instruction to end the game is received, or another game history data when a new password is input. Is stored in the RWM until it is received. The game end instruction here is an instruction for the player to operate the enter button 82 and the cross button 84 to display the two-dimensional code image 316 on the screen. When a game end instruction is given, or after a predetermined time has elapsed from the instruction, the game history storage means 146 erases the game history data and the game result data from the RWM. The game history storage means 146 overwrites the old game history data if it remains in the RWM when a new password is input and another game history data is received, regardless of whether or not there is an instruction to end the game. To do.

  When there is an input of a password which is an instruction to start a game in effect, the effect determination means 132 counts the number of winning / successful lotteries or the number of symbol fluctuations as the number of subsequent games, and the number of big wins, the number of small hits, the probability change big hit Count the number of times. Also, the number of selections for each type of variation effect pattern and the number of selections for each type of notice effect pattern are counted. In addition, identify the type of mission pattern achieved. The counted results and the types of mission patterns are accumulated in the RWM of the game history storage means 146 as game results after the password input time. This game result is also erased from the RWM after being encoded by the game end instruction or after a predetermined time has elapsed from the instruction. Regardless of whether or not there is an instruction to end the game, when a new password is input and another game history data is received, the game result data is deleted if it remains in the RWM.

  When the achievement determining unit 132 determines the achievement of each mission, the mission pattern described in the game history data or the game result stored in the game history storage unit 146 is already excluded from the achievement determination target. Only unsuccessful mission patterns are judged.

  When the code generation unit 148 receives an instruction to display the two-dimensional code image 316 from the input control unit 142, the code generation unit 148 reads data indicating the game result after the password is input from the RWM of the game history storage unit 146, and encodes this. To generate a two-dimensional code image 316. In addition to the URL of the game history server 314, the data indicating the game result includes, for example, a value indicating the number of winning / successful lottery or symbol variation display, the number of jackpots, the type of mission achieved, and the number of probability changes that have occurred. In the present embodiment, a value indicating the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 when the code generation means 148 receives a display instruction for the two-dimensional code image 316 (for example, a probability change state or a short time state as a specific gaming state) is included. . The main board 102 may periodically notify the sub-board 104 of information indicating the gaming state held in the gaming state storage unit 400, and the two-dimensional code image 316 specifies the gaming state based on the notification content. May be. The generated two-dimensional code image 316 is sent to the output control means 150.

  The output control means 150 causes the generated two-dimensional code image 316 to be displayed on the screen of the effect display device 60 as an output means by the effect display control means 134.

  Returning to FIG. 7, the number storage unit 402 stores information indicating the number of hits in the villa in the pachinko gaming machine 10. The number storage unit 402 holds information indicating the number of hits in the retreat from the stop to restart of power supply in a backup memory that can hold the memory even when the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned off. In other words, the number of hits in the villa in the pachinko gaming machine 10 is continuously held across the stop of power supply.

  The number updating means 404 increments the number of hits in the extended villa held in the number storage means 402 when a jackpot with probability variation occurs. In addition, the number of hits in the consecutive house is also incremented when it becomes a big hit with probability change or a normal big hit with no certain change (hereinafter also referred to as “normal hit”). When the normal game is reached after the special game is finished, the number updating means 404 resets the number of hits in the extended villa held in the number storage means 402 to zero.

  When the data extraction means 144 extracts the game history data from the password, the consistency determination means 406 is the pachinko gaming machine 10 indicated by the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 held in the gaming state storage means 400 and the gaming history data. It is determined whether or not the game state matches. For example, when the information indicating the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 held in the gaming state storage unit 400 indicates the probability variation state, and the game history data indicates the probability variation state as the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10, the two match. Judge that. The matching determination means 406 determines whether or not the players match by stopping the power supply by determining whether the game states match. Hereinafter, it is also simply expressed as “determining whether or not the gaming state matches”.

  The sub board 104 receives information indicating the gaming state held in the gaming state storage unit 400 from the main board 102 when power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 10 is started. When the keyword is received by the input control unit 142, the effect determination unit 132 determines that the gaming state at the start of power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 10 is a probable change state, and the matching determination unit 406 determines that the gaming state is consistent. If it is, it is determined that the “acquisition of probable state the previous day” mission has been achieved. Then, an effect pattern indicating that the “acquisition of certain day change state” mission has been achieved is selected and displayed via the effect display control means 134.

  In addition, when the result of the lottery determination is a big hit, the effect determining unit 132 determines that the matching determination unit 406 determines that the gaming state is consistent, and if the number of hits in the consecutive resort becomes 10 times or more, “in two days It is determined that the “10 Renso” mission has been achieved. Then, an effect pattern indicating that the “Two days in 10 days” mission has been achieved is selected and displayed via the effect display control means 134.

  FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the game history server 314 in detail. The game history server 314 in this figure is exemplified as a dedicated web server for a specific pachinko gaming machine 10 model. In this regard, the game history server 314 may be designed to have different URLs by constructing physically different servers for each type of gaming machine, or physically providing a data storage function for a plurality of models on the same server. The URL may be different. The game history server 314 includes data transmission / reception means 152, data storage means 154, encoding processing means 156, and privilege provision means 410.

  The data transmission / reception means 152 receives data such as game result data and individual identification numbers from the mobile terminal 310 via the network 312. The network 312 is, for example, a cellular phone packet communication network or the Internet. The data transmission / reception means 152 receives a request from the browser of the mobile terminal 310 by HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) communication, and transmits a web page to the mobile terminal 310 as a response to display the request on the screen of the mobile terminal 310. The web page may be a page that is dynamically generated by receiving a request and an argument from the mobile terminal 310. The data transmission / reception means 152 sends the game result data and the individual identification number received from the portable terminal 310 to the data storage means 154. The individual identification number is unique identification information uniquely assigned to each terminal of the mobile terminal 310, and the game history server 314 identifies the player using the individual identification number. The individual identification number is included in the HTTP header in communication from the mobile terminal 310.

  The data accumulation means 154 accumulates the game result data received from the data transmission / reception means 152 for each player based on the received individual identification number, and stores this as game history data for each player. For example, when the data transmission / reception unit 152 receives a game result indicating that the continuous game mission has been achieved, the data storage unit 154 stores the information in association with the individual identification number of the portable terminal 310.

  When receiving the password generation request from the mobile terminal 310, the encoding processing unit 156 generates a password that encodes at least a part of the game history data stored in the data storage unit 154 and transmits the password to the mobile terminal 310. . The encoding processing means 156 extracts the game history necessary for judging whether or not the achievement condition of each mission is satisfied in the pachinko gaming machine 10 from the game history data stored in the data storage means 154 and encodes it. And generate a password. For example, parameters such as a value indicating the type of mission already achieved or a type of unachieved mission, a value indicating the number of games, and a value indicating the number of jackpots are encoded. The password of this embodiment includes at least encoded information indicating the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 as the newest gaming result in the gaming history. For example, when the latest game result of the player indicates the probability variation state of the pachinko gaming machine 10, information indicating the probability variation state is included.

  When the data transmission / reception means 152 accepts the display request of the completed mission, the privilege providing means 410 extracts information indicating the completed mission from the game history data stored in the data storage means 154, and the data transmission / reception means 152 To the portable terminal 310. Specifically, in the present embodiment, web page data indicating the achievement of the “acquire probable state acquisition the previous day” mission and the “10 consecutive resorts in two days” mission is set and transmitted to the mobile terminal 310. Thus, by allowing the player to easily check the achievement status of the mission via the mobile terminal 310, the player can be encouraged to achieve further missions, and as a result, further games can be encouraged. it can. A web page showing various information not provided to unachieved players (for example, giving the player a special title indicating that the mission has been completed) Web pages, etc.).

  FIG. 10 is a diagram schematically showing the success / failure determination table. The success / failure determination table in this figure associates determination results of big hits, small hits and misses, and winning / failing lottery values. Depending on the respective range settings, the hit / failure probabilities of big hits and small hits are determined. Is determined. The success / failure lottery means 112 refers to the success / failure determination table of FIG. In the success / failure lottery performed by the success / failure lottery means 112, a big hit is made only when the success / failure lottery value falls within the range of 0 to 399 as shown in FIG. At the time of certain change, as shown in FIG. 5B, the big hit range is expanded, and not only when the success / failure lottery value falls within the range of 0 to 399, but also when it falls within the range of 400 to 2999. Thus, the range corresponding to the big hit changes according to the gaming state. In the case of hitting a big hit, whether it is a 15R big hit or a 2R big hit and whether or not there is a probability change is determined separately according to the stop symbol of the special symbol. In this figure, the single hit / fail judgment table shows the big hit range for both normal time and probability change, but the success / fail judgment table may be prepared separately for normal time and for probability change.

  In the present embodiment, even if the winning / raising lottery value does not correspond to the big hit range, that is, a so-called out of range, it becomes a small hit if it falls within the predetermined range. In the example of this figure, when the success / failure lottery value acquired by the success / failure lottery means 112 falls within the range of 65000 to 65535, it is a small hit. In this way, if it does not correspond to the big hit, it is all “out”, but in the example in this figure, the winning lottery value range when it does not correspond to the small hit out of the cases where it does not correspond to the big hit Is expressed as “displacement”. In addition, although the example which implement | achieved the determination table of whether it is a big hit and the determination table of whether it is a small win in the figure in the form of a single winning / nothing determination table was shown in this figure, each may be implement | achieved as a separate table. Good.

  FIG. 11 is a diagram schematically showing a symbol determination table. This figure (a) is a table to be referred to when the result of the success / failure determination is a big hit, FIG. 10 (b) is a table to be referred to when the result of the determination of success / failure is not, and FIG. This table is referred to when the determination result is a small hit. The symbol determination means 114 refers to the symbol determination table of this diagram in symbol determination. In each symbol determination table, the correspondence between the special symbol represented by the numbers “0” to “9” and the symbol “−” and the symbol lottery value is defined. Each type of special symbol is associated with the result of determining whether or not the big hit, small hit, or missed, the odd number corresponds to the big hit, the even number corresponds to the small hit, and the symbol “-” is out. Correspond.

  As shown in the figure (a), special symbols “1”, “3”, “5”, “7”, and “9”, which are odd numbers among the special symbols “0” to “9”, are associated with the jackpot. . Among them, the special symbol “7” indicates a 15R jackpot with certainty and is associated with a symbol lottery value range “0 to 99”. The special symbol “3” indicates a 2R jackpot with certainty and is associated with a symbol lottery value range “100 to 149”. Special symbols “1”, “5”, and “9” indicate 15R big hits without any probability change, the special symbol “1” is associated with the symbol lottery value range “150 to 189”, and the special symbol “190 to 229”. “5” is associated with, and “230 to 255” is associated with the special symbol “9”.

  As shown in the figure (b), the special symbol “-” is associated with the entire range of symbol lottery values in the case where the determination result is wrong.

  As shown in the figure (c), special symbols “0”, “2”, “4”, “6”, and “8” that are even numbers among the special symbols “0” to “9” are associated with the small hits. Yes. The special symbol “0” is associated with the symbol lottery value range “0 to 49”, and the special symbol “2” is associated with the symbol lottery value range “50 to 99”. The special symbol “4” is associated with the symbol lottery value range “100 to 149”, the special symbol “6” is associated with the symbol lottery value range “150 to 199”, and the special symbol “8” is the symbol lottery. Corresponding to the value range “200 to 255”.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram schematically showing the variation pattern table. The variation pattern determining means 115 refers to the variation pattern table for removal shown in FIG. 4A when the result of the determination is wrong. When the determination result is a 15R jackpot, the fluctuation pattern table for 15R jackpot shown in FIG. When the determination result is 2R big hit or small hit, the variation pattern table for 2R big hit and small hit shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 9A, the pattern lottery values 0 to 10 are associated with a super reach “super 1”, and the pattern lottery values 11 to 20 are associated with a super reach “super 2”. The pattern lottery values 21 to 255 are associated with any variation pattern of “normal 1”, “normal 2”, and “no reach”. As described above, when the result of the determination is wrong, any one of super reach, normal reach, and no reach may be selected. In the variation pattern table for detachment, when a variation pattern of “no reach” is selected, a different table is referred to so that a variation pattern having a shorter variation time than the normal state is selected in the short time state. Further, the deviation variation pattern table is defined such that the column to be referred to is different for each number of reservations, and details of the normal state will be described with reference to FIG.

  In this figure (b), the super lot of “Super 1” is associated with the pattern lottery values 0 to 120, and the super reach of “Super 2” is associated with the pattern lottery values 121 to 240. The pattern lottery values 241 to 250 are associated with the reach of “normal 1”, and the pattern lottery values 251 to 255 are associated with the reach of “normal 2”. As described above, when the determination result is 15R big hit, the variation pattern with reach is selected.

  In FIG. 5C, the pattern lottery values 0 to 122 are associated with the super reach “super 3”, and the pattern lottery values 123 to 255 are associated with the normal reach “normal 3”. As described above, when the determination result is 2R big hit or small hit, “Super 3” or “Normal 3” is selected with a probability of about 50%.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram showing in detail a variation pattern table for detachment. In the variation pattern table 210 of this figure, the range of the pattern lottery value associated with the variation pattern is different for each number of holds. Specifically, the smaller the number of holds, the wider the range of pattern lottery values assigned to variation patterns with relatively long variation times, and the probability that variation patterns with long variation times will be selected is increased. . Therefore, the average fluctuation time becomes longer as the number of holdings by the holding control means 116 is smaller. Accordingly, when the number of holds by the hold control unit 116 is less than a predetermined number, for example, 1 to 2, the selection probability of the change pattern having a long change time becomes higher than usual, and the change time tends to be relatively long.

  The first column 212 shows the correspondence relationship between the pattern lottery value range and the variation pattern when the number of holds is 1 as a result of the lottery determination by the hold control means 116. Similarly, in the second column 214, the third column 216, and the fourth column 218, the correspondence between the pattern lottery value range and the variation pattern in the case where the number of holdings as a result of the lottery determination by the holding control means 116 is 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The relationship is shown. That is, it can be considered that the first column 212, the second column 214, the third column 216, and the fourth column 218 indicate the variation pattern table for each number of holds. In this figure, an example will be described in which a plurality of variation patterns that can be selected at the time of deviation are classified into five types according to variation time, but actually, a plurality of variation effect patterns are prepared for each of these classifications. This is equivalent to the fact that dozens of types of variation effect patterns are associated with the lottery value ranges for each category. In order to compare the ratio of each pattern lottery value range in the second column 214, the third column 216, and the fourth column 218 in this figure with the ratio of the pattern lottery value range in the first column 212, Broken lines indicating the ratio of the pattern lottery value range are drawn in the second column 214, the third column 216, and the fourth column 218.

  The first range 222 includes any of the first column 212, the second column 214, the third column 216, and the fourth column 218 as a variation pattern when the lottery value corresponds to a pattern lottery value from 0 to 10. A super reach variation pattern of “super 1” is associated. The second range 224 includes any of the first column 212, the second column 214, the third column 216, and the fourth column 218 as a variation pattern when the lottery value corresponds to a pattern lottery value from 11 to 20. A super reach variation pattern of “super 2” is associated. Thus, in the case of the pattern lottery value with the lottery value from 0 to 10 and the pattern lottery value with the lottery value from 11 to 20, the variation pattern having the same variation time is selected regardless of the number of holdings.

  The third range 226 includes normal reach in the first column 212, the second column 214, the third column 216, and the fourth column 218 as a variation pattern when the lottery value corresponds to a pattern lottery value from 21 to 255, respectively. “Normal 1”, “Normal 2”, and “Reach without reach” are associated with each other. However, the range of pattern lottery values associated with each variation pattern varies depending on the number of holds. In the first column 212, the sizes of the lottery value ranges to which “normal 1”, “normal 2”, and “no reach” are associated are approximately equal, and the ranges obtained by dividing 21 to 255 into approximately three equal portions are associated with each other. Yes. On the other hand, in the second column 214, the size of the lottery value range associated with “normal 1” and “normal 2” is smaller than the lottery value range associated with “no reach”. Further, in the third column 216 and the fourth column 218, the size of the lottery value range associated with each of “normal 1” and “normal 2” is further reduced.

  The fluctuation time of “Normal 1” and “Normal 2” may be longer than the fluctuation time of “Out of reach”, and in the case of “Out of reach”, the fluctuation time may be shortened like a short time state. Depending on the setting contents of the third range 226, the average variation time varies. The pattern lottery value range for “Normal 1” and “Normal 2” decreases as the number of holds increases from 0 to 1, 2, 3, 4, and conversely the pattern lottery value range for “out of reach” increases. Therefore, the average fluctuation time becomes shorter as the number of holds increases, and conversely, the average change time becomes longer as the number of holds decreases. In this way, by using a variation pattern table in which the correspondence between the pattern lottery value range and the variation pattern is different for each number of holdings, control that makes it easy to select a variation pattern with a long variation time when the number of holdings decreases is realized. be able to.

  The variation pattern of “out of reach” associated with the third column 216 has a shorter variation time than the “out of reach” associated with the first column 212 and the second column 214, so-called “shortening variation”. This is the fluctuation pattern. Further, the fluctuation pattern of “out of reach” associated with the fourth column 218 has a shorter variation time than the “out of reach” associated with the first column 212 and the second column 214, and the third column This is a fluctuation pattern of so-called “super-shortening fluctuation” in which the fluctuation time is shorter than “216 shortening fluctuation”.

  The operation of the above configuration will be described below. First, the operation of the pachinko gaming machine 10 will be described. In the following description, the first to third flags may be specific bits in the memory. When the value of the bit is 0, the flag is off. When the bit value is 1, the flag is on. May be shown. Note that the state where the first flag is on indicates that the pachinko gaming machine 10 has switched from the state where power supply is stopped to the state where it is started. The state in which the second flag is on indicates that the power supply was stopped when the power supply was stopped. The state in which the third flag is on indicates that the gaming state is matched with the stop of power supply, that is, the player at the time of stopping power supply matches the player at the start of power supply.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing a basic operation process in the pachinko gaming machine. First, a power interruption response process for responding to the start and stop of power supply to the pachinko gaming machine 10 is executed (S10). Then, a process is executed when the game ball enters the start port 62, the general winning port 72, the big winning port 66, etc. (S11). Game control processing is executed (S14), and control related to the demo screen is processed (S15). If the game is not in a normal game (N in S12), a special game control process (S16) or a small hit game control process is executed (S17). Based on the number of winning balls set in the winning process of S10, award ball payout according to various winnings is processed (S18).

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing in detail the power failure handling process of S10 in FIG. When it is detected that power supply is stopped in the main board 102 (Y in S300), the game state storage means 400 of the main board 102 stores the game state at that time in the backup memory (S302). Further, the main board 102 notifies the sub board 104 that the power supply is stopped, and the number storage unit 402 of the sub board 104 stores the number of hits in the extended game at that time in the backup memory (S304). If stop of the power supply is not detected (N in S300), S302 and S304 are skipped.

  When the start of power supply is detected in the main board 102 (Y in S306), the main board 102 sets the first flag to ON (S308). The game state storage unit 400 of the main board 102 reads the information indicating the game state saved in the backup memory and stores it again in the volatile memory, in other words, restores the information indicating the game state when the power supply is stopped (S310). ). When the gaming state held in the gaming state storage unit 400 indicates the probability changing state (Y in S312), the specific game executing unit 122 shifts the gaming state of the pachinko gaming machine 10 to the probability changing state (S314), and sets the second flag. Set to ON (S316). When the gaming state held in the gaming state storage unit 400 does not indicate a probability change state (N in S312), S314 and S316 are skipped. Further, the main board 102 notifies the sub board 104 that power supply has started, and the number storage means 402 of the sub board 104 reads the number of hits in the extended resort saved in the backup memory and stores it again in the volatile memory. In other words, the information indicating the number of hits in the consecutive resort when the power supply is stopped is restored (S318). If the start of power supply is not detected (N in S306), S308 to S318 are skipped.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing in detail the normal game control process of S14 in FIG. In the normal game control process, if the winning / losing lottery value is on hold (Y in S30) and the symbol variation is not being displayed (N in S32), the winning / losing lottery means 112 executes the determining process. (S34). In accordance with the determination result, the main display control means 118 starts changing display, transmits a change start command to the effect display control means 134, and the effect display control means 134 that receives the command displays the effect image according to the change effect pattern. The fluctuation display is started (S36). If the winning or failing lottery value is not held in S30 (N in S30), the processing from S32 to S36 is skipped, and if the symbol variation is being displayed in S32 (Y in S32), S34 and S36 Is skipped. Subsequently, if the symbol variation display has already started (Y in S38), the symbol variation display process is executed (S40). If the symbol variation display has not started (N in S38), S40 is skipped. .

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing in detail the success / failure determination process of S34 in FIG. First, the success / failure lottery means 112 reads the success / failure lottery value (S42), and determines the success / failure based on the success / failure lottery value (S44). The symbol determination unit 114 determines a special symbol stop symbol based on the result of the determination (S46), and the variation pattern determination unit 115 selects the variation pattern of the special symbol (S48). The effect determining means 132 determines the stop symbol combination of the decorative symbols based on the determination result and the special symbol (S50), and selects the variation effect pattern of the decorative symbols according to the variation pattern of the special symbols (S52).

  FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing in detail the control processing related to the demo screen of S15 in FIG. If the symbol is not changing (N in S200) and there is no hold of the winning / failing lottery value (N in S202), a demonstration screen is displayed on the effect display device 60 (S204). If the player presses the enter button 82 while displaying the demo screen (Y in S206), a menu for entering a password or displaying the two-dimensional code image 316 is displayed on the effect display device 60 (S208). If the symbol is changing (Y in S200), there is a hold of the lottery value (Y in S202), or if the player does not press the enter button 82 (N in S206), the subsequent flow skip.

  Here, when there is a password input instruction by pressing the enter button 82 and the cross button 84 by the player (Y in S210), a process of accepting the password input is executed (S212). If the player is instructed to display the two-dimensional code image 316 by pressing the enter button 82 and the cross button 84 (Y in S214) instead of entering the password (N in S210), the two-dimensional code image 316 is generated. Then, display processing is executed (S216). If there is no instruction to display the two-dimensional code image 316 (N in S214), S216 is skipped.

  When a password is input by the player (Y in S218), the game history data obtained by decrypting the password is stored in the game history storage means 146 (S320). The matching determination unit 406 determines that the gaming state indicated by the saved information in the gaming state storage unit 400 matches the gaming state indicated by the saved information in the gaming history storage unit 146 (Y in S322), and the first flag is on. In the case (Y in S324), the third flag is turned on (S326), and the first flag is turned off (S328). If the first flag is OFF (N in S324), S326 and S328 are skipped. That is, when the password is input for the first time after the start of power supply, and the player at the time of power supply stop matches the player at the start of power supply, the third flag is turned on. If the second flag is on (Y in S330), the effect determining means 132 determines that the “acquired probable state acquisition” mission has been achieved, displays an effect indicating that (S332), and sets the second flag. It is turned off (S334). If the second flag is off in S330 (N in S330), S332 and S334 are skipped.

  When it is determined that the gaming state is inconsistent (N in S322), the first flag is turned off (S336), and the number updating unit 404 returns the number of hits in the extended game held in the number storing unit 402 to 0 (S338). . If there is no password input by the player (N in S218), the processing from S220 to S334 is skipped.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing in detail the special game control process of S16 in FIG. If the result of the lottery is a big hit (Y in S90), a big hit with a probability change (Y in S340), or even if it is not a big hit with a probability change (N in S340), the number of hits per consecutive home Is 1 or more) (Y in S341), the number updating unit 404 increments the number of hits in the extended villa held in the number storage unit 402 (S342). If it is not a big hit with probability variation and is not in a consecutive resort (N of S341), S342 is skipped. When the third flag is on (Y in S344) and the number of hits in the retreat has reached 10 (Y in S346), the effect determination means 132 determines that the “10 retreats in 2 days” mission has been achieved. An effect indicating that is displayed (S348), and the third flag is turned off (S350). When the third flag is off (N in S344) or the number of hits in the consecutive resort is less than 10 (N in S346), S348 and S350 are skipped.

  If the special game has already been started (Y in S92) and the big prize opening 66 has not been opened (N in S98), the opening process of the big prize opening 66 is executed (S100). At this time, display of the set jackpot effect is also started. If the big prize opening 66 has been opened (Y of S98), the closing process of the big prize opening 66 is executed (S102). As a result, if the special winning opening 66 is closed (Y in S104), the process proceeds to S106. If it is not in the closed state (N in S104), the process after S106 is skipped, and this process is temporarily ended. On the other hand, if the special game has not started in S92 (N in S92), the special game is started (S94), the display of the start demonstration effect is started (S96), and this process is temporarily ended.

  In S106, it is determined whether or not a demonstration production, which is a production during a special game, is being performed. Note that the “demonstration effect” here includes a start demonstration effect and an end demonstration effect. If the demonstration is not in progress (N in S106), it is determined whether or not a special game end condition is satisfied with reference to an end flag described later (S110), and if the special game end condition is satisfied (S110). Y) After the end flag is turned off (S112), display of the end demonstration effect is started (S114). If the special game end condition is not satisfied (N in S110), this process is temporarily ended. If it is determined in S106 that the demonstration effect is being performed (Y in S106) and the end demonstration effect is completed (Y in S116), the special game is terminated (S118). In the case of a normal big hit without any probability change (N in S352), the number updating unit 404 resets the number of hits in the consecutive house held in the number storage unit 402 to 0 (S354). In the case of big hit with probability variation (Y in S352), S354 is skipped. Then, the specific game is started (S120). In other words, the specific game executing means 122 starts the probability change, time reduction, and easy entry state in the case of a big hit with probability change, and starts the time reduction and easy entry state in the case of a normal big hit. If the end demonstration effect has not ended (N in S116), the processing from S118 to S120 is skipped. If it is not a big hit (N in S90), the flow after S92 in this figure is skipped.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing in detail the release process of S100 in FIG. When the opening timing of the special winning opening 66 based on the set opening / closing pattern is reached (Y in S122), the opening / closing control means 124 uniformly turns off the passage flag and sets the operation of the opening / closing pattern (S124). The special winning opening 66 is opened (S126). In addition, a big hit effect corresponding to the number of repetitions of the current unit game or a big hit effect corresponding to the number of repetitions being different is set and started. When it is not the opening timing (N of S122), the processes of S124 and S126 are skipped.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing in detail the closing process of S102 in FIG. When the closing timing of the special winning opening 66 based on the set opening / closing pattern is reached, the open / close control means 124 closes the special winning opening 66. That is, during a special game, whether the end condition based on the number of balls is satisfied (Y in S130) or the end condition based on the number of balls is not satisfied (N in S130), the end condition based on the opening time is satisfied ( (Y of S132), the special winning opening 66 is closed (S134). If the termination condition based on the opening time is not satisfied (N in S132), the flow after S134 is skipped.

  The end condition based on the number of balls in the 15R jackpot is 10 or more balls entering the grand prize opening 66, and the end condition based on the opening time is a set time according to the opening / closing pattern from the opening start of the big prize opening 66. It is progress. In the case of 15R big hit, 30 seconds have elapsed since the start of opening, and in the case of 2R big hit, 0.5 seconds have elapsed since the start of opening. However, since the opening for 0.5 seconds is extremely short, it is difficult to enter more than 10 balls as well as to enter the ball itself. Even if a game ball is launched at the same time as the opening of the grand prize opening, it is difficult to enter the game, so it is predicted that the 2R big hit will be opened before the grand prize opening 66 is opened. It is necessary to launch a game ball. On the other hand, the end condition based on the number of balls in the 15R jackpot is 10 or more balls entering the grand prize opening, and the end condition based on the opening time is 30 seconds from the start of opening the big prize opening 66. At this time, if the maximum number of continuations has been reached (Y in S136), the end flag is turned on (S138). If the maximum number of continuations has not been reached (N in S136), the process in S138 is skipped. In this embodiment, the upper limit number of continuations is 15 times. If neither the end condition based on the number of entered balls nor the end condition based on the opening time is satisfied (N in S130, N in S132), the processes after S134 are skipped.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing in detail the small hit game control process of S17 in FIG. If the result of the lottery is a small hit (Y in S150), the small hit game has already started (Y in S152), and the big winning opening 66 has not been opened (N in S158). A process for opening the winning opening 66 is executed (S160), and if it is already opened (Y in S158), a closing process for the big winning opening 66 is executed (S162). As a result, if the special winning opening 66 is closed (Y in S164), the process proceeds to S166. If it is not in the closed state (N of S164), the process after S166 is skipped and this process is temporarily ended. On the other hand, if the small hit game has not started in S152 (N in S152), the small hit game is started (S154), and the display of the start demonstration effect similar to the 2R big hit is started (S156). Exit once.

  In S166, it is determined whether or not a demonstration effect which is an effect during the small hit game is being performed. If the demonstration effect is not in progress (N in S166), it is determined whether or not the small hit game end condition is satisfied. Here, if an end flag, which will be described later, is on, the small hit game end condition is satisfied. If the small hit game end condition is satisfied (Y in S170), the end flag is turned off (S172), and the display of the end demonstration effect is started (S174). If the small hit game ending condition is not satisfied (N in S170), this process is temporarily ended. When it is determined in S166 that the demonstration effect is being performed (Y in S166) and the end demonstration effect is completed (Y in S176), the small hit game is terminated (S178). If the end demonstration effect has not ended (N in S176), the process of S178 is skipped. If it is not a small hit (N in S150), the flow after S152 in this figure is skipped.

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing in detail the release processing of S160 in FIG. When it is the opening timing of the big winning opening 66 based on the set opening / closing pattern (Y in S180), the opening / closing control means 124 sets the operation of the opening / closing pattern (S182) and starts opening the big winning opening 66. (S184). When it is not the opening timing (N of S180), the processing of S182 and S184 is skipped.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing in detail the closing process of S162 in FIG. When the end timing of the special winning opening 66 based on the set opening / closing pattern is reached (Y in S190), the end flag is turned on (S192), and the special winning opening 66 is closed (S194). This closing timing is the timing when 0.5 seconds have elapsed since the opening of the special winning opening 66. If it is not the closing timing (N of S190), the processes of S192 and S194 are skipped.

Next, the operation of the game history server 314 will be described.
FIG. 25 is a flowchart showing processing in the game history server 314. When the data transmission / reception means 152 of the game history server 314 receives an access start request from the portable terminal 310 (Y in S300), a model screen for each model of the portable terminal 310 is generated and displayed based on the individual identification number (S302). ). If there is no access start request, S302 is skipped (N in S300). When access is from a new user and a user registration request is received from the portable terminal 310 (Y in S304), user registration is executed based on the individual identification number (S306). If there is no user registration request, S306 is skipped (N in S304). When game result data is received from the portable terminal 310 (Y in S308), the game result is stored as game history data (S310). If no game result is received, S310 is skipped (N in S308). When a display request such as a game result, game history, mission achievement status, or the like is received from the portable terminal 310 (Y in S312), the requested information is transmitted to the portable terminal 310 for display (S314). In the present embodiment, for example, web page data indicating whether or not a continuous game mission has been achieved and web page data in which information as a privilege for a person who has achieved the continuous game mission is described are transmitted to the mobile terminal 310. If there is no display request, S314 is skipped (N in S312). When the password generation request is received from the portable terminal 310 (Y in S316), the encoding processing unit 156 generates a password by encoding the game history data (S318), and transmits the password to the portable terminal 310 for display. (S320). If there is no password generation request, S318 and S320 are skipped (N in S316).

  In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, A component can be deform | transformed and embodied in the range which does not deviate from a summary. In addition, various inventions may be formed by appropriately combining a plurality of components disclosed in the above embodiment, or some components may be deleted from all the components shown in the above embodiment. . Furthermore, it is possible to appropriately combine the constituent elements over a plurality of embodiments.

  In the above embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine has been described as an example. However, in a modified example, a spinning-type gaming machine may be used as the gaming machine. The game medium in the spinning machine is a game medal. Further, as the input means, the means for inputting characters and the like by pressing a button has been described, but in the modification, a means for capturing a two-dimensional code image and decoding it into the original data is used as in the output means. It may be a means. As another input means, a means for receiving game history data and adjustment data from a portable terminal by a short-range wireless communication or a proximity communication technique or an infrared communication technique may be used. As the output means, the means for displaying a two-dimensional code image has been described. However, in the modified example, game history data and adjustment data are transmitted to the portable terminal by a short-range wireless communication technique, a near-field communication technique, or an infrared communication technique. Means may be used. In addition, an advantageous game state that is inherited from the previous day in the spinning game may be an assist replay time (ART).

  In the above embodiment, the pachinko gaming machine 10 determines whether or not the continuous game mission has been achieved. However, in a modified example, the game history server 314 may execute the determination process.
