That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Transition to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the display returns to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned OFF, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In order to confirm the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on with no bet amount set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by turning the setting key switch 37 to the OFF state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the main CPU 41a detects a voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48, a power interruption interrupt process (main) is executed. In the power interruption interrupt processing (main), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 41c, which will be described later, and data for destructive diagnosis (in this embodiment, 5AH) in which any bit is 1 in the RAM 41c, that is, a specific value other than 0 In addition to storing data, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 0, and the RAM 41c is stored. The RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of values stored in each bit of the corresponding area (all areas in this embodiment) of the RAM 41c. Therefore, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 1. In this case, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

  The main CPU 41a calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c at the time of activation, confirms the value of the destructive diagnosis data, the RAM parity is 0, and the destructive diagnosis The processing state of the main CPU 41a is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the value of the data for use is correct, but the RAM parity is not 0 (in the case of 1) or is destroyed. If the value of the diagnostic data is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state so that the progress of the game is disabled. Unlike the other error states, the RAM abnormal error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new set value is set in the setting change state described above. It will not be released until

  In this embodiment, all the data stored in the RAM 41c is held by the backup power source even in the event of a power failure, and when the main CPU 41a determines that the data in the RAM 41c is normal when the power is turned on. Although the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 41c, only the data necessary for the restoration of the control state in the event of a power failure is backed up among the data stored in the RAM 41c. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the backed up data.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player For example, it is not necessary to restore the state of all input ports to the state before power interruption.

  In addition, when the sub CPU 91a detects the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98, the sub CPU 91a also executes a power interruption interrupt process (sub). In the power interruption interrupt processing (sub), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 91c described later, and destructive diagnosis data in which any bit is 1 is stored in the RAM 91c, and data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c. The RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on 0 becomes 0 and stored in the RAM 91c.

  Then, the sub CPU 91a calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c at the time of activation, and based on the data stored in the RAM 91c on the condition that the RAM parity is 0. The processing state of the sub CPU 91a is restored to the state before the power interruption. If the RAM parity is not 0 (1), it is determined that the RAM is abnormal and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the main sub CPU 91a, the execution of the performance is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 91c is held by the backup power source even during a power failure, and the sub CPU 91a determines that the data in the RAM 91c is normal when the power is turned on. Although the configuration is such that the control state before power interruption is restored based on the data stored in the RAM 91c, only the data necessary for restoration of the control state is backed up in the event of a power failure out of the data stored in the RAM 91c. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the backed up data.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player It is not necessary to restore the state of the input port or the progress in the middle of the production when it is interrupted. For example, while backing up only data indicating the gaming state such as whether it is in the BB or the normal gaming state, other than the effect corresponding to the gaming state (the effect during the BB during the BB, the normal effect when in the normal gaming state) If a power outage occurs during the execution of a specific production (such as a small role announcement), it will be backed up when the power is turned on instead of resuming the specific production that was being performed at the next power-on. An effect corresponding to the gaming state being played may be executed from the beginning.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is divided into an important work, a general work, a special work, a set value work, a stop phase work, a non-saved work, an unused area, and a stack area.

  The important work is a work in which data that is inconvenient to be initialized at the end of the BB, such as various display devices and LED display data, input / output data of the I / O port 41d, and a game time clock counter, is stored. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at the end of the BB, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, and the total number of medals paid out in the BB. The special work is a work that stores data to be initialized only before the start of setting, such as data for transmitting a command to the effect control board 90 and various software random numbers. The set value work is a work in which a set value used when performing a lottery in the internal lottery process is stored. After initializing 0 before setting is started (before shifting to the setting change mode), 1 is stored. The set value that is corrected and newly set at the end of the setting (when the setting change mode is ended) is stored. The stop phase work is a work in which data indicating the stop phase of the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R is stored, and data indicating the stop phase is stored when the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R are stopped. The Rukoto. The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is destroyed at the time of activation. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main CPU 41a is stored, and the unused stack area is established by any one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. In this case, the used stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In this embodiment, the main CPU 41a operates when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both ON, when a RAM error occurs, when starting only when the setting key switch 37 is ON, BB At the end, when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both OFF, when the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed, the six initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied In addition, five types of initialization are performed in different regions to be initialized according to each initialization condition.

  Initialization 0 is performed when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both ON at the time of start-up, and initialization is performed before the transition to the setting change mode or when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In initialization 0, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) of the storage area of the RAM 41c other than the used stack area are initialized. Initialization 1 is an initialization performed only when the setting key switch 37 is in an ON state at the time of start-up and shifts to the setting change mode. In the initialization 1, in the storage area of the RAM 41c, All the areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) except for the in-use stack area and the stop phase work are initialized. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area are initialized in the storage area of the RAM 41c. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when both the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are in an OFF state at the time of activation, and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. The stored work, the unused area, and the unused stack area are initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 0 and initialization 1 are performed before transition to the setting change mode. However, they may be performed at the end of the setting change mode, that is, after the setting is confirmed. In this case, if the set value work is initialized, the determined set value is lost. Therefore, the set value work is not initialized.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the prescribed number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state is determined as described above, and the prescribed number of bets that are determined according to the gaming state is set. It becomes possible to start the game on the condition. In the present embodiment, as will be described later, there are a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB) and a normal gaming state as a gaming state, and 3 is defined as the prescribed number of bets in any gaming state. Regardless of the gaming state, when 3 is set as the bet number, the game can be started. In the present embodiment, all of the pay lines L1 to L5 are activated when a specified number of bets corresponding to the gaming state are set.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, a winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged on the activated winning line (hereinafter simply referred to as a winning line). It becomes. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition of the game state. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. It is valid until a combination of combinations permitted by the flag is completed, and is invalid in a game having a combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the special combination winning flag is won, even if the combination of the combinations permitted by the flag cannot be made, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  As the role in the slot machine 1, as shown in FIG. 6, a regular bonus as a special role (hereinafter, the regular bonus is RB), a big bonus (1) (2) (hereinafter, a big bonus is BB (1) (2)), watermelon, cherry, and bell are defined as small roles, and replay is defined as a replay role.

  In any gaming state, a cherry is placed on any of the winning lines on the left reel when a combination of “cherry-ANY-bell” or “cherry-ANY-replay” is aligned, that is, on the left reel. When the “Cherry” symbol is derived and the “Bell” or “Replay” symbol is derived on the winning line of the right reel where “Cherry” is stopped on the left reel, it becomes a prize and two medals are paid out. .

  The watermelon is awarded when the combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and 15 medals are paid out.

  The bell is awarded when a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and 12 medals are paid out.

  Replay is awarded when the combination of “Replay-Replay-Replay” is aligned on the winning line in the normal gaming state. When the replay wins, no medals are paid out, but the next game can be started without setting the number of wagers again, so that three medals corresponding to the number of wagers that are not required to be set in the next game are paid out. Is essentially the same.

  RB is awarded when a combination of “net 7-net 7-black 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB, and the gaming state shifts to RB. The RB is a gaming state that is advantageous to the player over other gaming states by increasing the winning probability of the small role, especially the bell, and when the 12 games are digested after the RB starts, or a 4-game winning ( When the type of a combination is allowed), it ends either whichever comes first.

  BB (1) is awarded when a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB. BB (2) wins when a combination of “network 7-network 7-network 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB.

  When BB (1) (2) wins, the gaming state shifts to BB and simultaneously shifts to RB. When RB ends, if BB has not ended, it shifts to RB again and BB ends. Control is repeated until RB. That is, during BB, it is always controlled to RB. The BB ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the BB exceeds 480. At the end of the BB, the RB is also ended regardless of whether or not the RB end condition is satisfied.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of this embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state and whether or not the special combination is carried over, the acquired random number for internal lottery and the number of judgment values for each combination determined according to the gaming state, the number of bets and the set value Is done according to.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the role is subject to internal lottery depending on whether the gaming state is the normal gaming state or RB (BB), and in the normal gaming state, the special role is different. The target of the internal lottery also varies depending on whether or not it is being carried over (normal: normal gaming state in which special roles are not carried over, winning: normal gaming state in which special roles are carried over).

  RB, BB (1), BB (2), RB + watermelon, RB + cherry, BB (1) + watermelon, BB (1) if the gaming state is the normal gaming state and the special role is not carried over + Cherry, BB (2) + Watermelon, BB (2) + Cherry, Replay, Watermelon, Cherry, and Bell are sequentially read out as the subject combination of the internal lottery.

  If the gaming state is the normal gaming state and the special combination is carried over, the replay, watermelon, cherry, and bell are sequentially read out as the target combinations for the internal lottery.

  If the gaming state is RB (BB), watermelon, cherry, and bell are sequentially read out as the subject combination of the internal lottery.

  In the internal lottery, the number of determination values determined corresponding to the role to be subject to the internal lottery, the current gaming state and the set value are sequentially added to the random number for the internal lottery, and when the result of addition overflows, It is determined that the winning combination has been won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  In the internal lottery, when any winning combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a storage area of 2 bytes, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work for which the special role winning flag is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main CPU 41a refers to the table index and the table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the rotation of the reel starts and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. Create a stop control table for each reel. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  In the table index, an index that indicates the start address of the area in which the data for table creation is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning state) Differences up to the address where the data is stored are registered. As a result, a difference corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and the corresponding index data can be acquired by adding the difference to the reference address. Even when the winning combinations are different, when the same control is applied, the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, a stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of sliding frames according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, It may vary depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and if any reel is stopped, stop Since there may be differences depending on the stop position of the reels already completed, the address of the stop control table to be referenced for each situation is registered for each rotating reel, and based on the top address of the table creation data, It is possible to specify the address of the stop control table that should be referred to according to the status of each, and it is necessary according to each status from this specified address And to be able to identify the stop control table. Even when the reel stop status and the stopped position of the stopped reel are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In this embodiment, stepping motors that make one turn at a cycle of 168 steps (0 to 167) are used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven for 168 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. 21 areas (frames) divided every 8 steps (the number of steps in which one symbol moves) per reel are defined, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

  As described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data corresponds to the area number, and the area corresponding to each area number is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3). Sliding frame when an operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at a timing (a timing in which the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps of each region number). It is a table with each number set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is first referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is obtained, table creation data is identified based on the obtained index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state of rotation is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address is expanded to generate a stop control table for all reels.

  Further, when any one reel stops or any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game The table creation data is identified based on the table creation data, and the stop control table address of the unreacted reel corresponding to the stopped reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is obtained from the identified table creation data. The stop control table for each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for the unstopped reels.

  Next, when the main CPU 41a effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel will be described. When one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop operation position area is determined based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. The number is specified, the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected is referred, and the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. As a result, the area corresponding to the area number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the area corresponding to the area number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3 It will stop in the lower symbol area).

  In the table index of this embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and further, one table creation data includes one reel. Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). In other words, table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state and stop control tables corresponding to reel stop states (and stopped positions of stopped reels) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created with reference to is unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). Therefore, when all of the gaming state, the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are the same, the reel is based on the same stop control table, that is, the same control pattern. The stop control is performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding frames, and the reel can be stopped by drawing a maximum of 4 symbols after detecting the stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  In this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn on the winning line to the maximum in the range of 4 frames, and the winning combination is aligned on any winning line. Create a stop control table that defines the number of sliding frames to be pulled in to prevent reels from being stopped, and if none of the winning combinations are selected, slipping that does not match any winning combination on the winning line A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if a winning combination can be stopped on any winning line in a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames, control is performed to align and stop them. In this case, the winning combination is controlled so that the winning combination is stopped within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the “bell” on the left reel, the “bell” on the middle reel, and the “bell” on the right reel are arranged at intervals of 4 frames each. Regardless of the timing at which the reels are stopped, the “bell-bell-bell” combination is always on the winning line, and the bell wins. In addition, the “replay” for the left reel, “replay” for the middle reel, and “replay” for the right reel, which are part of the replay, are arranged at intervals of 4 frames each. In any case, the combination of “replay-replay-replay” is always on the winning line and the replay wins.

  On the other hand, the “bell” and “replay” on the right reel that make up the cherry are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less, but the “cherry” on the left reel that makes up the cherry has an interval exceeding 7 frames. When the cherry is won, the combination of “Cherry-ANY-Bell” or “Cherry-ANY-Replay” will be placed on the winning line if the left reel is stopped at the timing of the “Cherry” pull-in range. The cherries will be won all at once, but if the right reel is stopped at a timing that is outside the “cherry” pull-in range, the cherries will not be won and will be missed.

  In addition, the "watermelon" on the left reel, the "watermelon" on the middle reel, and the "watermelon" on the right reel, which make up the watermelon, are located at intervals of more than 4 frames. If the operation of stopping each reel is performed at the timing of the drawing range, the combination of "watermelon-watermelon-watermelon" will be aligned with the winning line, and the watermelon will win. If the stop operation is performed at a timing outside the range, the watermelon will not be won and will be lost.

  Also, BB (1) to (3) also have locations where the constituent symbols are arranged at intervals exceeding 4 frames, and even if any of BB (1) to (3) wins, the configuration of the winning BB If the reels are stopped at the timing of the symbol drawing range, the winning BB will win, but at any one of the reels, the stopping operation will be performed at a timing outside the winning BB component symbol drawing range. If you do, BB will not win and you will miss it. BB will be carried over to the next game even if it is missed as described above, so if you win BB once, for example, even if you miss it, you will be awarded by performing a stop operation at an appropriate timing after the next game Is possible.

  If the special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or if the special role and the small role are elected at the same time when the special role is not carried over, the special role and the small role are won simultaneously. The number of sliding symbols is set so that the winning small role is drawn to the winning line within the range of 4 frames, and the winning small role is drawn to the winning line within the range of up to 4 frames. For stop operation positions that cannot be inserted, a stop control table in which the number of sliding symbols is determined so as to draw the selected special combination to the winning line in the range of 4 frames to the maximum is created, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, A control is performed to stop them in a uniform manner, and a winning combination that has not been won will be controlled to be stopped within a 4-frame pull-in range. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be made effective only when the small combination cannot be drawn.

  In this embodiment, when a special role and a small role are simultaneously elected, the control for aligning the small role on the winning line is prioritized over the special role, and the special role is given only when the small role cannot be drawn. However, priority is given to the control of aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and it is possible to win the small role only when the special role cannot be drawn. It is good also as a structure.

  The special role and re-playing role are selected when the re-playing role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when the special role and re-playing role are won at the same time without the special role being carried over. In the case of winning at the same time, when a stop operation is performed, control is performed so that the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-playing combination are arranged within 5 symbols for each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, that is, with an interval of 4 frames or less. Therefore, if a special combination and a replaying player are elected at the same time, the replaying game will always be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R by the player. Will be. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win.

  In this embodiment, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started, the main CPU 41a continues to rotate the reels for which the stop operation has not been detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. On the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel. Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result of the corresponding reels on the condition that the rotation of the reels that have not been continued is continued and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  In this embodiment, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel on condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. However, the rotation of the reel is started. When a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the reel stop operation is not performed, it is assumed that the stop operation has been performed, and automatic stop control is performed to automatically stop each reel. May be. In this case, since the reels are stopped without the player's operation, it is preferable to derive a display result that does not constitute any combination even if any combination is won.

  Next, commands that the main CPU 41a transmits to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 41a sends a BET command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning determination command, a payout start command, a payout end command, a game state command to the effect control board 90. A plurality of types of commands including a standby command, an abort command, an error command, a return command, a setting start command, a confirmation start command, a confirmation end command, and an operation detection command.

  These commands are composed of 1-byte type data indicating the type of command and 1-byte extension data indicating the content of the command, and the sub CPU 91a can determine the type of command from the type data.

  The BET command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used to set the bet number, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game. Sent when a medal is inserted or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated to set the number of bets in a state where is not set. Further, since the BET command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the BET command.

  The credit command is a command that can specify the number of medals stored as credits, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game, and in a state where a predetermined number of bets is set, Sent when a medal is inserted and credits are added.

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the winning status of the internal winning flag and the type of the internal winning flag that has been established, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. Further, since the internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to specify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation, and is transmitted when rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started.

  The reel stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, the area number of the corresponding reel stop operation position, and the area number of the corresponding reel stop position. And is transmitted each time stop control is performed in accordance with the stop operation of each reel. Since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, it is possible to specify that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated by receiving the reel stop command. .

  The winning determination command is a command that can specify the presence / absence of winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning, and is transmitted after all the reels are stopped and the winning determination is performed.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals is started by paying out a prize or credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets). The payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning and winning a credit is completed.

  The game state command is a command that can specify the game state of the next game, and is transmitted when the setting change state ends and when the game ends.

  The standby command is a command indicating a transition to the standby state, and after one game is over, a credit (which was used for setting the bet number) is set when the transition to the standby state is made after a predetermined time without setting the bet number. (Including medals) is sent out after the medal payout is completed and the payout end command is sent.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and after the end of the BB, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted when the ending effect waiting time has elapsed, and the reset operation is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

  An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition and the type of error condition. When an error is determined and controlled to an error condition, an error command indicating the occurrence and type of the error condition is sent and reset. When the error state is canceled after the operation is performed, an error command indicating the cancellation of the error state is transmitted.

  The return command is a command indicating that the main CPU 41 has returned to the control state before the power interruption, and is transmitted when the main CPU 41a is restored to the control state before the power interruption.

  The setting start command is a command indicating the start of the setting change state, and is transmitted when shifting to the setting change state. Further, since the control state of the main CPU 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it can be specified that the control state of the main CPU 41 has been initialized by the setting start command.

  The confirmation start command is a command indicating the start of the setting confirmation state, and is transmitted when shifting to the setting confirmation state. The confirmation end command is a command indicating the end of the setting confirmation state, and is transmitted when the setting confirmation state ends.

  The operation detection command is a command indicating the detection state (ON / OFF) of operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R), and is transmitted at regular intervals.

  Among these commands, a setting start command, an error command indicating a RAM abnormality, and a return command are generated at a stage before an interrupt is permitted in the startup process and stored in a specific command transmission buffer assigned to a special work in the RAM 41c. And sent immediately.

  Commands other than a setting start command, an error command indicating a RAM abnormality, a return command, and an operation detection command are generated according to the progress of the game in the game process, and are temporarily stored in a normal command transmission buffer provided in a special work in the RAM 41c. Stored and transmitted in timer interrupt processing (main).

  In this embodiment, a command is generated in the game process and stored in the normal command transmission buffer. When an untransmitted command stored in the command transmission buffer is detected in the command transmission processing in the timer interrupt 2, the untransmitted command stored in the normal command transmission buffer is transmitted.

  In addition, the normal command transmission buffer has an area where a plurality of commands can be stored, so that newly generated commands can be stored without waiting for transmission of unsent commands stored in the normal command transmission buffer. Normally, it can be stored in an empty area of the command transmission buffer. That is, a plurality of commands can be stored in the normal command transmission buffer.

  In addition, when commands are stored in the normal command transmission buffer in the game process, these commands are stored in the order of generation, and in the command transmission process, the commands are transmitted in the order generated and stored in the normal command transmission buffer. It has become. That is, the commands stored in the normal command transmission buffer are transmitted in the order in which they are generated and stored.

  The operation detection command is generated every time the command transmission process is executed five times, stored in the aforementioned specific command transmission buffer, and immediately transmitted. In addition, when the operation detection command transmission time is reached with the unsent command stored in the normal command transmission buffer, priority is given to the transmission of the operation detection command and the normal command transmission buffer stores it. The untransmitted command is transmitted in the next command transmission process, and a plurality of commands are not transmitted in one command transmission process.

  Next, the control of the effect performed by the sub control unit 91 based on a command transmitted from the main CPU 41a to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  The sub CPU 91a executes a command reception interrupt process when a strobe signal indicating the transmission of a command from the main CPU 41a is input. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub CPU 91a is the earliest stage. Based on the received command, the control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to. Based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table, various effects such as the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, etc. Control the output of the device.

  In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52, the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED, etc. The control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub CPU 91a receives the command, the sub CPU 91a, among the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table, With reference to the control pattern corresponding to the type of command received, output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

  If the sub CPU 91a receives a new command during execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub CPU 91a stops the effect based on the control pattern being executed, and responds to the newly received command. An effect based on the control pattern is executed. In other words, even if the production is not finished to the end, when a new command is received, the production that was being executed is canceled and a new command is received unless the received new command is not a command that triggers a new production. An effect based on the command is executed.

  In particular, in this embodiment, when an operation for setting the number of bets is performed during execution of an effect, that is, when the sub CPU 91a receives a BET command indicating that the number of bets has been set, the effect being executed is canceled. It is supposed to be. For this reason, if the player wants to proceed to the next game rather than seeing the production to the end, the production is canceled and the next game can be started. There is no. Further, when a credit or bet amount adjustment operation is performed during the performance, that is, after the sub CPU 91a receives a game state command indicating the end of the game, and before receiving an internal winning command indicating the start of the game. When the payout start command is received, the performance being executed is stopped. Credits and bets are settled when the game is terminated. In such a case, by terminating the performance that is being executed, there is an intention to end the game, but the performance continues unnecessarily. It is designed not to be overwhelmed.

  When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b, and when the sub CPU 91a receives the internal winning command, the sub CPU 91a sets the level and the effect setting described later as a result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command. Accordingly, the selection rate registered in the effect table is referred to, one of the effect patterns is selected from the plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the effect pattern of the game. Even if the same command is received, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning command is received. As a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

  In this embodiment, the main CPU 41a transmits an operation detection command that can specify that the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated to the sub CPU 91a, so that the sub CPU 91a Regardless of whether the operation switch is involved in the game progress control in each control state, it is possible to specify that the operation switch detected by the main CPU 41a has been operated. It is possible to perform effects according to the operation of operation switches not involved in the operation, and to operate a main menu screen described later.

  Further, the main CPU 41a determines whether the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated. By periodically transmitting an operation detection command that can specify the ON / OFF state of the sub CPU 91a, the sub CPU 91a can periodically specify the ON / OFF state of these operation switches. Even if an operation detection command is missed, it is possible to specify the latest detection state for all operation switches based on the operation detection command sent next time, and operation of the operation switches not involved in game progress control It is possible to reliably execute the production according to the situation.

  Further, since it is possible to specify the detection states of all of the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R from the operation detection command, the sub CPU 91a can simultaneously operate a plurality of switches or perform specific operations. It is possible to produce an effect reflecting the operation status of a plurality of operation switches such as an operation of only the switch, and it is possible to produce various effects using the operation of the operation switch.

  In this embodiment, the main CPU 41a does not determine whether the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, or the stop switches 8L, 8C, or 8R is operated, and the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, or the stop switch 8L. , 8C, 8R are configured to send operation detection commands that can specify the ON / OFF state at regular intervals, but only when the detection state (ON / OFF) of any of the operation switches changes. An operation detection command indicating the above may be transmitted. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the transmission of the operation detection command as much as possible, and to reduce the control load related to the transmission of the operation detection command. In addition, it is not necessary for the sub CPU 91a to receive an operation detection command more than necessary.

  Further, when the detection state (ON / OFF) of any operation switch changes, an operation detection command that can specify the detection state of another operation switch in addition to the detection state of the operation switch is sent to the sub CPU 91a. It is also possible to have a configuration for transmission, and with this configuration, transmission of operation detection commands can be reduced as much as possible, and the sub CPU 91a detects the detection state of the operation switch whose detection state has changed from the operation detection command. In addition, the detection state of other operation means can be specified, and the sub CPU 91a can perform effects reflecting the operation statuses of a plurality of operation means. Can be anything.

  In the RAM 91c of the sub-control unit 91, a detection state storage area in which the change state of the detection state of the operation switch is stored for each operation switch, and an operation detection flag indicating that the operation state of the operation switch has changed are provided for each operation switch. An operation detection flag storage area to be stored is allocated. Furthermore, the detection state storage area is assigned with a detection state before receiving the operation detection command (previous) and a detection state after receiving the operation detection command (this time). The detection state of each operation switch before and after reception is stored.

  The sub CPU 91a performs an operation detection process when it is determined in the timer interrupt process (sub) that an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. In the operation detection process, it is determined whether the unprocessed command is an operation detection command. If it is determined that the command is an operation detection command, the current detection state stored in the detection state storage area is changed to the previous detection state. Moved and stored the detection state of each operation switch indicated by the operation detection command as the current detection state, and when there is an operation switch in which the previous detection state and the current detection state are different, changes from OFF to ON In this case, a rising flag is set as an operation detection flag corresponding to the operation switch, and when it is changed from ON to OFF, a falling flag is set as an operation detection flag corresponding to the operation switch.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the main CPU 41a periodically transmits an operation detection command that can specify the detection states of all the operation switches regardless of whether or not the detection state of the operation switches has changed. When the CPU 91a receives the operation detection command, the CPU 91a updates the detection state of each operation switch before and after receiving the operation detection command stored in the detection state storage area. An operation detection flag corresponding to the operation switch is set, and the sub CPU 91a confirms the presence or absence of the operation detection flag, so that the detection state of the operation switch has changed, and before and after receiving the operation detection command. How the detection state of each operation switch has changed, that is, from OFF to ON, from ON to OFF Or phased's, which is to be able to determine.

  For this reason, the sub CPU 91a can perform an effect or change the effect according to not only the timing when the operation of the operation switch is started but also the timing when the operation is released, and is not involved in the progress control of the game. Various effects can be performed according to the operation mode of the operation switch.

  In this embodiment, the sub CPU 91a can determine how the detection state of each operation switch before and after receiving the operation detection command has changed in addition to the change in the detection state of the operation switch. However, the sub CPU 91a may be configured to be able to determine only that the operation switch has been operated, that is, changed from OFF to ON. With such a configuration, the operation switch that does not affect the game progress control. It is possible to reduce the control load on the sub CPU 91a associated with the operation.

  The detection state storage area stores the detection state of each operation switch, and the sub CPU 91a is set with any operation detection flag, and the change in the detection state of the operation switch corresponding to the operation detection flag is changed. When it is identified, it is possible to identify not only the operation switch whose detection state has changed but also the detection state of other operation switches by checking the detection state of other operation switches in the detection state storage area. .

  For this reason, it is possible to specify a state in which a plurality of operation switches are operated at the same time, and it is possible to produce effects by operating the plurality of operation switches at the same time. Various effects can be produced depending on how the operation switches are operated. It can be performed.

  In addition, when the sub CPU 91a performs an effect by simultaneously operating the left stop switch and the middle stop switch, the left stop switch is detected and the right stop switch is not detected. If an operation of the middle stop switch is detected, the corresponding effect is performed. If both the left stop switch and the right stop switch are detected, and the operation of the middle stop switch is detected, the same as above. In this case, the operation of the left stop switch and the middle stop switch is detected at the same time. In this case, the corresponding effect is not performed.

  That is, when performing a specific operation effect in response to an operation of a specific operation switch, if an operation switch other than the specific operation switch is operated together with the specific operation switch, the specific operation effect is not performed. ing.

  For this reason, a specific operation effect based on an operation of a specific operation switch is performed when the specific operation switch is operated simultaneously with another operation switch or when the other operation switch is operated. Since it is not executed and a specific operation effect is not executed by an erroneous operation, the specific operation effect can be executed only for a player who desires the specific operation effect.

  In addition, when an operation switch other than the specific operation switch is operated together with the specific operation switch as described above, a part of the operation switches for executing each effect by not performing the specific operation effect. Even in the case of overlapping, it is possible to execute different effects. That is, one effect is executed by operating the left stop switch and the middle stop switch at the same time, and the other effect is executed by operating the middle stop switch and the right stop switch at the same time. When the middle stop switch is operated while the right stop switch and the right stop switch are operated at the same time, whether the left stop switch and the middle stop switch are operated simultaneously or whether the middle stop switch and the right stop switch are operated simultaneously. It becomes impossible to discriminate, and it becomes impossible to assign effects only to one of the simultaneous operations, but when an operation switch other than a specific operation switch is operated together with a specific operation switch Even if it is a case like the above by not performing a specific operation effect It can be assigned an effect for each of the simultaneous operation as it can be performed more diverse effect by way of the operation of a plurality of operation switches.

  In this embodiment, the sub CPU 91a gives points on the condition that a predetermined achievement condition is satisfied when a password to be described later is input at the start of the game, and adds the level every time 10 points are acquired. It has become. Each time the level value exceeds a certain value, the number of types of effects that may be executed is increased. Specifically, it includes an effect table 1 used for levels 1 to 30, an effect table 2 used for levels 31 to 60, and an effect table 3 used for levels 61 to 99. In addition to the effect patterns registered in the table 1, an effect pattern that is not registered in the effect table 1 is defined, and the effect table 3 includes an effect pattern that is registered in the effect tables 1 and 2. An effect pattern not registered in Tables 1 and 2 is defined, and the level exceeds 30 by selecting an effect pattern using the effect table corresponding to the current level among the effect tables 1 to 3. In this case, when the number exceeds 60, the production pattern increases.

  Also, every time the level value exceeds a certain value, the items that can be selected as the effect setting are increased. Specifically, the frequency of production (production setting 1), main character (production setting 2), character costume (production setting 3), production background design (production setting 4), BGM (production) Setting 5) can be selected. In these production settings, three types can be selected until the level exceeds 30, and when the level exceeds 30, five types can be selected. Selectable from types.

  As an achievement condition to which points are given, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, a bonus production screen is displayed when a continuous performance showing the possibility of winning a special role is executed and the special role is won or missed. The number of points awarded according to the difficulty level of each achievement condition, the current level, the number of games since the game was started, and the achievement conditions are established. The number of points corresponding to is given.

  The continuous effect B shown in FIG. 8 is an effect indicating that the possibility of winning the special role is higher than the continuous effect A, that is, an effect in which the ratio selected at the time of winning the special role is higher than the continuous effect A. It is an effect whose appearance rate is lower than that of the continuous effect A.

  And if the continuous production A is executed and the special role is not won, and the continuous production B is executed and the special role is not won, the latter gives more points. Even if there is a high possibility that the special role has been won, more points are awarded when the special role is not won.

  Also, if the continuous production A is executed and the special role is not won, and the continuous production A is executed and the special role is won, the latter gives more points. Even if the possibility of winning the special role is low, more points are awarded when the special role is won.

  Moreover, even when the same achievement condition is satisfied, points awarded for 0 to 499G, 500 to 699G, and 700G or more are different, and as the number of games increases, more points are awarded. Yes.

  Further, every time the level value exceeds a certain value, the number of points given is reduced, and the number of points given is reduced. Specifically, when level 30 is exceeded, when level 60 is exceeded, points awarded respectively decrease, and depending on achievement conditions, points are not awarded. For this reason, every time the level exceeds a certain value, it becomes difficult to further increase the level.

  In this way, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, points are awarded by satisfying the achievement condition according to the result of playing the game, the level increases according to the number of points, the production pattern increases, The setting item of production increases, and the willingness of a player to play a game can be heightened effectively.

  In addition, there is an effect that is executed on condition that the level is more than a certain level, the cumulative number of games and the cumulative number of bonuses are more than a certain number, and the above-mentioned mission is more than a certain level. , Missions achieved by performing effects that do not appear unless the cumulative number of games or the number of cumulative bonuses exceeds a certain number, that is, the level above a certain level, the number of cumulative games, the number of cumulative bonuses, etc. must be above a certain number Missions that cannot be achieved are defined, and the player's willingness to play and raise the level can be effectively increased.

  In addition, the sub CPU 91a is configured so that a story consisting of a plurality of stages progresses sequentially on the liquid crystal display 51 in accordance with the number of games when a password to be described later is input at the start of the game. Specifically, when the story reaches a certain stage according to the number of games, the story of the next stage is developed.

  In addition, when a password, which will be described later, is input at the start of the game, the sub CPU 91a, when the anniversary specified from the input password indicates a specific anniversary, the anniversary effect ( For example, when the birthday of the player is specified, it is possible to execute an effect that congratulates the player by satisfying certain conditions.

  Further, the value of the level can take over not only the value increased in one slot machine 1 but also the value increased in other slot machines 1. Further, not only the level value but also the stage of the story developed in the other slot machine 1 or when the player changes the production setting in the other slot machine 1, the setting contents can be taken over.

  Specifically, by selecting “password input” from the main menu screen shown in FIG. 9A and inputting the password issued by the management server 1200, the level and story of the previous game history are selected. It becomes possible to play the game by taking over the stage and the production setting.

  As will be described in detail later, the password is character data consisting of eight characters that can specify the anniversary, level, story stage, and production setting according to the player's individual game history managed by the management server 1200 described later. It is.

  The main menu screen is displayed when the left and right stop switches 8L, 8R among the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated simultaneously in the control state from the end of the game (after the setting change) until the bet amount is set. That is, the detection state of the operation switch indicated by the operation detection command is that either of the detection states of the stop switches 8C and 8R is OFF, the detection states of the stop switches 8L and 8R are both ON, and the detection state of the stop switch 8L is When it is changed to OFF, it is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  When the main menu screen is displayed, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the stop switch 8L is operated to move to the left menu item, and the stop switch 8R is operated. To move to the menu item on the right. Then, the menu item displayed in front is selected by operating the effect switch 56. When the effect switch 56 is operated in a state where “End” is displayed as a menu item or when the stop switch 8C is operated for a predetermined time or longer, as shown in FIG. An end confirmation screen in which “YES” and “NO” can be selected is displayed. On the end confirmation screen, the stop switches 8L and 8R and the production switch 56 are operated, and “YES” is selected from “YES” and “NO”. Thus, it returns to the basic screen (normal screen before shifting to the main menu screen). In addition, the screen returns to the basic screen when a time determined for each screen elapses without any operation.

  On the main menu screen before the password input or before the game start by the simple start described later, menu items of “easy start”, “password input”, “member registration” and “end” are displayed as shown in FIG. By selecting the password menu by operating the stop switches 8L and 8R and the effect switch 56 on the main menu screen before the password input or before the game start by the simple start described later, FIG. The password input screen shown in b) is displayed. In the password input screen, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), the characters move by operating the stop switches 8L and 8R, and as shown in FIG. 11 (a), by operating the effect switch 56, The character displayed in front is selected.

  Each time one character is selected, the next character can be selected. Further, by operating the effect switch 56 in a state where “return one character” is displayed in front, the character in front can be selected again. Then, when the password of 8 characters is selected, it moves to the decision column, and as shown in FIG. 11B, the effect switch 56 is operated in a state where characters other than “return one character” are displayed in front. Thus, the password is determined.

  If the entered password is authenticated as a legitimate password, a password entry OK screen is displayed as shown in FIG. 11C. The password input OK screen is switched to the basic screen when the effect switch 56 is operated or a time determined for each screen elapses. If the password is not authenticated as a regular password, a password entry NG screen (not shown) is displayed. The password input NG screen is also switched to the basic screen by operating the effect switch 56 or when a time determined for each screen elapses.

  When the password is authenticated as a legitimate password, the values of the personal history storage area (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs, achievement mission) assigned to the RAM 91c are initialized and analyzed from the password. From the password to the anniversary storage area where the anniversary is assigned to the RAM 91c, to the level storage area where the level analyzed from the password is assigned to the RAM 91c, and to the story storage area where the story analyzed from the password is assigned to the RAM 91c. The effect settings 1 to 4 to be analyzed are set in the effect setting storage area assigned to the RAM 91c, and accordingly, the level, story, and effect settings corresponding to the previous game history are taken over. At this time, the input password itself is stored in a password storage area assigned to the RAM 91c.

  Next, the password analysis procedure will be described. In the ROM 91b, as shown in FIG. 14A, 0 to 31 corresponding to the characters constituting the password (32 types of Roman letters: 26 types and 6 types of symbols) are stored. The password analysis table in which the numerical value of the password is determined is stored. First, as shown in FIG. 14B, the password analysis table is referred to, and the input password is replaced with the corresponding numerical value. For example, if the password is “KZFJC = U *” as shown in FIG. 14B, “10-25-5-9-2-26-20-” according to the password analysis table shown in FIG. 30 ". Next, the replaced numerical value is converted into a binary number, and the value of the upper 4 bits and lower 2 bits in total 4 bits is specified as a random value (random value acquired when the management server 1200 issued the password), and the random value is excluded The 36-bit value is shifted to the right by a random value. For example, as shown in FIG. 14B, if the random value is 0110 (= 6), the 36-bit value excluding the random value is shifted rightward by 6 bits. At this time, the value overflowed in the right direction is shifted to the upper bits.

  Next, a hash value from the 36-bit value after the shift (a random number given to make the password vary in the management server 1200. In this embodiment, the lower 4 bits of the 36 bits excluding the random value. The lower 8th bit, the lower 16th bit, the lower 23th bit, the lower 28th bit, and the lower 33th bit)), the anniversary, level, Analyze story stages and production settings.

  Of these 30-bit values, the lower 3 bits indicate the anniversary, the lower 4 bits to the lower 11 bits indicate the level, the lower 12 bits to the lower 17 bits indicate the stage of the story, and higher than the lower 18 bits These bits are values indicating production settings 1 to 4, and 4 bits, 4 bits, 3 bits, and 3 bits are assigned to them respectively. Anniversary, level, story stage, and production settings specified from these values. Are set in the anniversary storage area, the level storage area, the story storage area, and the effect setting storage area, respectively.

  As described above, the personal history storage area is allocated to the RAM 91c, and the game history (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs) after the password is entered and authenticated as a regular password is accumulated. It has become so. Furthermore, when a mission (issue) set in advance in the slot machine has been achieved, a history of achievement missions indicating the types of missions achieved is also accumulated. In addition, as described above, every time 10 points are acquired, the level stored in the level storage area is increased. Also, the story progresses according to the number of games, and progresses to the next stage by reaching a certain number of games.

  When the player finishes the game, the player obtains a two-dimensional code that can specify the player's game history, current level, story stage, production setting, achievement mission history, and specifies from the two-dimensional code. Can be reflected in the contents of a player database, which will be described later, provided in the management server 1200.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, on the main menu screen after the password is entered or after the game is started by the simple start described later, as shown in FIG. 9A, “DATA CLEAR”, “TODAY GAME DATA”, “BONUS” “History” and “End” menu items are displayed, and as shown in FIG. 12 (a) on the main menu screen after the password is entered or after the game is started by the simple start described later, By selecting the “game data” menu item, a two-dimensional code capable of specifying the game history of the day is generated, and the generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. Is displayed. As shown in FIG. 15C, the output two-dimensional code is stored in the URL indicating the location of the update page on the management server, the password input at the start of the game, and the personal history storage area. The total number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, the types of missions achieved, the level value stored in the level storage area, the stage of the story stored in the story storage area, and the effect setting storage area Production settings 1 to 4 and game random numbers (32-bit random numbers in this embodiment), which are random values acquired every time a two-dimensional code is created, are stored.

  Then, by reading this two-dimensional code with the portable terminal 1100 and accessing the URL of the management server 1200 specified from the two-dimensional code, the game that the management server 1200 has the game history of the day specified from the two-dimensional code is provided. It is reflected in the contents of the operator database.

  Also, from the time when the password is authenticated until today's game data is selected and until a two-dimensional code that can identify today's game history is displayed, entry of a new password is prohibited. And a two-dimensional code that can identify the game history of the day is displayed, and when the display is cleared, the password stored in the password storage area, the total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, BB The number of times, the number of RBs, the type of mission completed, the level value stored in the level storage area, the stage of the story stored in the story storage area, and the contents of the effect settings 1 to 4 stored in the effect setting storage area Everything is cleared and password entry is allowed again.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, by inputting a password when starting a game, an effect reflecting past game history such as a level, a story, and an effect setting at the time of previous game is executed. This makes it possible to produce effects that are continuous over a long period of time. Also, since the password is included in the two-dimensional code that is output to specify a new game history, the password is issued by authenticating the password included in the two-dimensional code at the management server 1200 that issues the password. It is possible to determine whether the player has received the game, and even if a third party obtains another person's password and plays the game to obtain a two-dimensional code, or obtains another person's two-dimensional code. However, the game history specified from the two-dimensional code cannot be reflected in the player's own, and a new game history can be taken over by the player who has received the password, while the password is issued. It becomes impossible for a player other than the player to take over the game history. As a result, it is meaningless to divert or steal a password or a two-dimensional code. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the diversion or theft of a password and a two-dimensional code.

  In addition, since the password changes according to a random value that changes every time the password is issued by the management server 1200, even if a game history having the same content is specified, the password is not necessarily the same. It becomes difficult to guess.

  Further, in this embodiment, if the player has already been registered in the management server 1200, the player can start the game that can store the game history without operating the production switch 56 and inputting the password. Is possible.

  Specifically, the personal history storage area (total game) allocated to the RAM 91c by operating the game start operation, in this embodiment, operating the effect switch 56 for a certain period of time (hereinafter referred to as long press of the effect switch 56). (Number, number of BBs, number of RBs, achievement mission) are initialized. When the effect switch 56 is pressed for a long time, the game data for the current day is not selected after the effect switch 56 is pressed for a long time or a game start operation is performed in response to a password input. Even so, the value of the personal history storage area is initialized.

  In the personal history storage area, game histories (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs) from a game start operation associated with a long press of the effect switch 56 are accumulated. Furthermore, when a mission (issue) set in advance in the slot machine is achieved as in the case where a password is input, a history of achievement missions indicating the types of missions achieved is also accumulated. However, if a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the production switch 56 without entering a password, unlike the case where a password is entered, points will not be given and the level will not rise, and the story The stage is not advanced, and the production setting cannot be changed from the default setting.

  When the player finishes the game and performs a game end operation (select “Today's game data” on the main menu screen), the game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56. A two-dimensional code is generated from the game history from and displayed.

  Then, the player obtains the displayed two-dimensional code with a portable terminal and accesses the management server 1200 to thereby obtain a game history specified from the two-dimensional code by the portable terminal owned by the player. It can be reflected in the game history registered in the player database corresponding to the terminal identification information.

  The two-dimensional code displayed when the game is ended after the game is started by the start operation of the game accompanying the long press of the effect switch 56 is different from the case where the game is started by inputting the password. The URL indicating the location of the update page, the total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the type of mission accomplished are stored.

  Then, the two-dimensional code is read by the portable terminal 1100, and the URL of the management server 1200 specified by the two-dimensional code is accessed, so that the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed portable terminal is already registered in the player database. When the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed mobile terminal is already registered, the game history corresponding to the matching terminal identification information is updated. .

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, if the player is already registered in the management server 1200, the password is entered by simply pressing and holding the effect switch 56 without entering the password. It becomes possible to play a game in the same way as. At the end of the game, a two-dimensional code capable of specifying the game history from the start operation of the game accompanying the long press of the effect switch 56 to the end is displayed. Then, by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, on the management server 1200 side, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that transmitted the game history is stored in the player database of the management server 1200. It is determined whether or not already registered, and if already registered, the game history corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information is updated to the game history specified from the two-dimensional code. For this reason, it is possible for a player whose terminal identification information has already been registered in the player database to use the game history storage function without receiving a password, and then to terminate the game. By simply accessing the management server 1200 with the displayed two-dimensional code, it becomes possible to register / store the game history during that time in the management server 1200.

  In the present embodiment, the use of the function for accumulating the game history can be started by pressing and holding the effect switch 56 once. However, the menu item on the main menu screen is different from “easy start”. It is good also as a structure which can provide the use start item of the function which accumulate | stores a game history, and can start the utilization of the function which accumulate | stores a game history by designating the said item, and the item by long press of the switch 56 for an effect and a main menu screen It is good also as a structure which can start utilization of the function which accumulate | stores game history in both of designation | designated.

  In this embodiment, in order to receive a password issued from the management server 1200, it is necessary to access the management server 1200 with a mobile terminal in advance and register terminal identification information (SIM data) of the mobile terminal by member registration or the like. There is. In this embodiment, the URL indicating the location of the member registration page of the management server 1200 is specified by selecting “member registration” on the main menu screen before password input shown in FIG. A dimension code is generated and displayed, and the member registration page of the management server 1200 can be easily accessed by reading the two-dimensional code with a portable terminal.

  Further, in this embodiment, even a player who has not previously registered as a member by accessing the management server 1200 can start a game using a function for storing a game history.

  Specifically, by selecting “easy start” from the main menu screen shown in FIG. 9A, the sub CPU 91a obtains a starting random number from random numbers updated within a certain range, and is assigned to the RAM 91c. The obtained start random number is stored in the start random number storage area, and a two-dimensional code for the first start is generated and displayed. In this two-dimensional code, as shown in FIG. 15A, a URL indicating the location of the temporary registration page on the management server 1200 and a starting random number are stored, and this two-dimensional code is stored in the portable terminal. The terminal identification information (SIM data) assigned to the accessed mobile terminal 1100 and the starting random number specified from the two-dimensional code by accessing the URL of the management server 1200 that is read by 1100 and specified from the two-dimensional code Are temporarily registered in association with each other.

  On the other hand, in the slot machine 1, when “easy start” is selected, the values of the personal history storage areas (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs, achievement mission) assigned to the RAM 91c are initialized.

  In the personal history storage area, game histories (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs) since “easy start” is selected are accumulated. Furthermore, when a mission (issue) set in advance in the slot machine is achieved as in the case where a password is input, a history of achievement missions indicating the types of missions achieved is also accumulated. In addition, as described above, every time 10 points are acquired, the level stored in the level storage area is increased.

  When the player finishes the game, the player obtains a two-dimensional code that can specify the player's game history, current level, production setting, and achievement mission history, and specifies the content specified from the two-dimensional code. The management server 1200 can be reflected in the contents of a player database described later.

  The two-dimensional code displayed when the game is ended after selecting “Easy Start” and starting the game is different from the case where the password is started, as shown in FIG. 15B. The URL indicating the location of the main registration page on the server, the starting random number stored in the starting random number storage area, the total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the achievement mission The type, the level value stored in the level storage area, the stage of the story stored in the story storage area, and the effect settings 1 to 4 stored in the effect setting storage area are stored.

  Whether or not the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed mobile terminal is provisionally registered by reading the two-dimensional code with the mobile terminal 1100 and accessing the URL of the management server 1200 specified from the two-dimensional code. If the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed mobile terminal is provisionally registered, the starting random number corresponding to the provisionally registered terminal identification information and the two-dimensional code are specified. It is determined whether or not the starting random number matches, and on the condition that it matches, the game history specified from the two-dimensional code, the current level, the stage of the story, the effect setting, and the achievement in association with the terminal identification information The history of missions is registered, and the player's data is now fully registered. Thereafter, the password is issued based on these data. Rukoto is possible.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, by inputting “easy start”, a starting random number is obtained, and a two-dimensional code that can identify the starting random number is displayed, and a password is input. Without playing the game, it is possible to play a game in the same manner as when a password is input. Then, at the end of the game, a two-dimensional code that can specify the game history from the input of “easy start” to the end and the starting random number acquired when the “easy start” is input is displayed. Then, the player accesses and temporarily registers the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed at the start of the game, and accesses the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game. On the management server 1200 side, on the condition that the start random number specified from the two-dimensional code transmitted at the end of the game matches the start random number temporarily registered in the management server 1200, the two-dimensional code Thus, it is possible to newly register the game history specified from the above, that is, the game history of the player. For this reason, a player who uses the game history storage function for the first time does not need to access the management server 1200 in advance and register as a member before playing a game. The two-dimensional code displayed by inputting “easy start” By simply accessing the management server 1200, it becomes possible to start a game similar to the case where the password is input, and after that, only by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the end operation of the game, It is possible to register and store the game history during that time in the management server 1200.

  As described above, the sub CPU 91a of the present embodiment switches to the basic screen after a predetermined time when no operation is performed after displaying the various menu screens that shift from the main menu screen. .

  The time until switching to the basic screen is determined for each screen. As shown in FIG. 13, the main menu screen and the password input OK screen are 1 minute, the end confirmation screen, the password input screen, the password input NG screen, 3 minutes are set for the two-dimensional code display screen, data clear screen, and member registration screen, and 30 seconds are set for the data clear completion screen.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, an end confirmation screen, a password input screen, a password input NG screen, a two-dimensional code display screen, a data clear screen, a member with a relatively long 3 minutes set as the time to switch to the basic screen are defined. Regarding the registration screen, 30 seconds before switching to the basic screen, that is, 2 minutes and 30 seconds have passed since the transition to one of these screens, some operation is performed and another operation is performed, or any operation is also performed. If there is no selection operation during the period until the transition to the basic screen, the fact that the screen is switched to the basic screen is displayed on a part of the screen, and a prior notification for notifying that effect is executed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main menu screen, that is, the screen in a state where a specific operation is not selected, the data clear screen, that is, the game is highly likely to be finished among the various menu screens shifted from the main menu screen. The screen is switched to the basic screen in a relatively short time when no operation is performed.

  On the other hand, a player who enters or reads a password, such as a password entry screen, that is, a screen that must be entered from the beginning if it is switched in the middle, or a screen that the player needs to read on the mobile terminal. Is a screen that requires relatively complicated work, and for those that are troublesome for the player if it is switched immediately, the time until switching to the basic screen when no operation is performed is set longer than the above screen. It has been.

  For this reason, a screen that requires a relatively complicated work by the player will not switch to the basic screen in a short time, but is sufficient for the player to complete the necessary work as the time until switching to the basic screen. Time is secured. In particular, the password entry screen, that is, if the screen is switched immediately, the password entered halfway must be reentered. It is only displayed, and if the 2D code cannot be acquired there, the game history will be initialized and it will not be possible to acquire it again. As the time until switching to the screen, sufficient time for the player to finish entering the password and obtaining the two-dimensional code is secured. Can be avoided as much as possible.

  On the other hand, the main menu screen, the data clear screen, etc. are switched to the basic screen when there is no operation even for a relatively short time, and only the main menu screen is displayed in the situation where no game is played. Even if the game is over or after the game is finished, even if you do not switch to the basic screen while clearing the data, the screen will switch to the basic screen in a relatively short time. Since it becomes possible to specify, it can prevent that the operation of a slot machine falls.

  In addition, on a screen with a relatively long 3 minutes as the time until switching to the basic screen, that is, a screen that requires a relatively complicated operation by the player, some operation is performed from a certain time before switching to the basic screen. If there is no selection operation during the period until the screen moves to another screen or no operation is performed, a prior notification is made to notify that the screen is switched to the basic screen. Even if the player does not perform a selection operation after a screen that requires relatively complicated work is displayed, the player can recognize that the screen will be switched to the basic screen in advance. It can prevent switching to the basic screen.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the screen shown in FIG. 13, that is, various menu screens (excluding the end confirmation screen) shifted from the main menu screen, when the stop switch 8C is operated for a predetermined time or longer, the screen shown in FIG. An end confirmation screen is displayed, and by selecting “YES” from “YES” and “NO”, the screen returns to the basic screen. That is, when various menu screens are displayed, it is possible to return to the basic screen by the player's operation without waiting for the passage of time. Further, in order to return from the menu screen to the basic screen, it is necessary to operate the stop switch 8C for a predetermined time or longer, that is, it is necessary to press and hold the switch for a long time. It is possible to prevent transition from the screen to the basic screen.

  When the sub CPU 91a of this embodiment inputs a password or inputs "Easy Start", or when a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56, the input of the password is also "Easy Start". "Is not input and the game start operation is not performed by the effect switch 56, and the effect mode is controlled to a specific effect mode different from the effect mode (normal effect mode) when the game is played.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16 (a), specific display areas 51a and 51b are assigned to a part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 51. In the normal display mode, the display area shown in FIG. As shown, only regular patterns are displayed in the specific effect areas 51a and 51b.

  On the other hand, when controlled to the specific effect mode, as shown in FIG. 16B, characters based on the effect setting set by the player are displayed in the specific effect area 51a. In 51b, a point meter indicating the level value (level value specified from the password) of the player and the point value required until the next level rise is displayed. The target displayed in the specific effect areas 51a and 51b in the specific effect mode is not limited to the above. For example, the achievement status of the mission may be displayed.

  When a game start operation is performed in accordance with the operation of the effect switch 56, the effect setting, the level value, and the like cannot be specified. Therefore, the specific effect area 51a is not the effect setting set by the player. Characters based on default production settings are displayed, and level values and point meters are not displayed in the specific production area.

  In addition, regardless of whether it is the normal effect mode or the specific effect mode, as shown in FIG. 16C, the specific effect region can be obtained by operating the stop switch 8C for a predetermined time or more while the basic screen is displayed. Although it is possible to delete 51a and 51b, in the default setting, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are displayed, and a game start operation (input of a password or “easy start”, When the effect switch 56 is pressed for a long time or when a game end operation (data clear or two-dimensional code display) is performed, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are erased until then. Effect areas 51a and 51b are displayed. Even when the stop switch 8C is operated for a predetermined time or more in a state where the basic screen is displayed and the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are deleted, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are displayed again. It has become.

  In the specific effect mode and the normal effect mode, the display modes in the areas other than the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are the same, and the same effect is performed. For example, regardless of the effect mode, an effect that rains in the background as shown in FIG. 18B is performed, which suggests the result of the internal lottery as described later.

  On the other hand, in the specific effect mode, even if the display modes in the areas other than the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are the same, by changing the display contents of the specific effect areas 51a and 51b, the winning expectation degree of the special role is different there. It is also possible to

  In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 91a performs a normal effect lottery to determine whether or not to execute a simultaneous winning suggesting effect when watermelon and cherry are won (including simultaneous winning with a special role). As shown in FIGS. 18 (a) and 18 (b), the simultaneous winning suggestion effect includes an effect A in which the background other than the specific effect areas 51a and 51b is clear and a specific effect area 51a. In the normal effect lottery, the effects A and B are produced at the selection rate shown in FIG. 17 (a). Is selected. In the regular production lottery, when either watermelon or cherry is won, there is a 100% probability that either production A or production B will not be selected. Production is not executed.

  As shown in FIG. 17B, in the normal effect lottery, the selection rate of the effect B at the time of simultaneous winning of the special role and the watermelon: B1 and the selection rate of the effect B at the time of the independent winning of watermelon: the former: B1 Production A with the probability that the ratio of A will be higher than the ratio of the former: A1 in the selection ratio of production A: A1 when A1 and watermelon are elected alone: , B are selected. In addition, the selection ratio of production B at the time of simultaneous winning of special role and cherry: the selection ratio of production B at the time of single winning of B3 and cherry: the ratio of former: B3 in B4 is the same at the time of simultaneous winning of special role and cherry Selection rate of production A: Production A and B are selected with a probability higher than the ratio of former: A3 in the selection rate of production A: A4 at the time of single selection of production A3 and cherry.

  For this reason, the execution of these simultaneous win suggestion effects suggests that watermelons or cherries that may win at the same time as special roles may have been won. A feeling can be heightened.

  In addition, when the watermelon or cherry and special role are simultaneously elected, the ratio of the effects A and B to which the effect B simultaneous winning suggestion effect is executed is higher, so the effect B is simultaneously elected than the effect A. If the suggestion effect is executed, the expectation can be enhanced more for the special role.

  In addition, when it is determined in the normal effect lottery that the simultaneous winning suggestion effect of either effect A or B is executed, the sub CPU 91a further controls the specific effect region 51a, if controlled to the specific effect mode. In 51b, a specific effect lottery is performed to determine whether or not to execute a special role winning suggestion effect that notifies the possibility of winning a special role.

  The special role winning suggestion is a meter that indicates the winning expectation degree of the special role in the specific effect area 51b, in addition to the simultaneous win suggestion effect in the areas other than the specific effect areas 51a and 51b. Is displayed, which suggests the possibility of winning the special role. As shown in FIGS. 18A and 18B, the character in the specific effect area 51a speaks as “Maybe!” And specified. As shown in FIGS. 19 (a) and 19 (b), the character of the specific effect area 51a chats with “Large chance !!” as shown in FIGS. 19 (a) and 19 (b). In the specific effect lottery, the specific effect B is displayed at the selection rate shown in FIG. 17C. Director B is selected. In the specific effect lottery, when the execution of the simultaneous winning suggestion effect is determined in the specific effect mode, either the specific effect A or the specific effect B is selected with a probability of 100%.

  As shown in FIG. 17 (d), in the specific effect lottery, the selection ratio of the specific effect B at the time of simultaneous winning of the special role and the watermelon: b1 and the selection ratio of the specific effect B at the time of the independent selection of watermelon: b2 : The ratio of b1 is higher than the ratio of the former: a1 in the selection ratio of the specific performance A: when the special combination and the watermelon are simultaneously selected: Thus, the specific effects A and B are selected. In addition, the selection ratio of the specific performance B in the simultaneous winning of the special role and cherry: b3 and the selection rate of the specific performance B in the single winning of the cherry: b4 ratio of the former: b3 is the simultaneous selection of the special performance and cherry Selection rate of specific production A at the time: Selection rate of specific production a at the time of single winning of a3 and cherry: The specific production A and B are selected with a probability higher than the ratio of the former: a3 in a4 It has become.

  For this reason, when the watermelon or cherry and the special role are won simultaneously, the ratio of the specific effect B suggesting effect of the specific effect B among the specific effects A and B is increased, so that the specific effect A is higher than the specific effect A. The direction in which the special role winning suggestion effect of the specific effect B is executed can enhance the expectation for the special role winning.

  In addition, when controlled to the specific effect mode, in addition to the simultaneous winning suggestion effect, the special winning combination suggesting effect is executed, so that the same simultaneous winning suggestion effect is executed in the areas other than the specific effect areas 51a and 51b. Even if it is done, the possibility of winning the special role will be more accurately notified by the difference in the special role winning suggestion effect in the specific effect areas 51a and 51b.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in order to use the game history storage function, a game start operation is performed when a password is input or “Easy Start” is input, or when the effect switch 56 is pressed for a long time. In the specific effect mode controlled in the period until the game ending operation is performed, that is, the period in which the game history is collected, in the normal mode, in addition to the simultaneous winning suggestion effect that is also executed in the normal effect mode Since the special role winning suggestion that will not be executed can be executed, when the player inputs a password or enters “Easy Start”, or when the player starts the game by pressing the effect switch 56 for a long time. It is possible to promote the use, that is, the use of a function for accumulating a game history.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, in the specific effect mode, the special role winning suggestion effect is executed, and in the normal effect mode, in the simultaneous winning suggestion effect that only suggests one possibility, a more detailed special role is provided. Therefore, the player can know the possibility of winning the special role more accurately, so that the use of the function of accumulating the game history can be further promoted.

  Furthermore, as described above, there is an effect that is executed on condition that the level is a certain level or more, the number of accumulated games or the number of accumulated bonuses is a certain number or more, and such a mission is described above. A mission that is achieved by performing an effect that does not appear unless the level, cumulative number of games, or number of bonuses exceeds a certain level, that is, the level, level of cumulative games, number of bonuses, etc. are constant. Missions that can only be achieved by a certain number or more are defined, and these are premised on the use of a function for accumulating game histories, so that the use of the function for accumulating game histories can be further promoted.

  In addition, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are assigned to the display area of the liquid crystal display 51, and in the specific effect mode, the display mode of the specific effect areas 51a and 51b is changed to an effect mode different from the normal effect mode. The production mode is controlled so that the production mode is different between the production mode and the normal production mode, and it is clear that the special role selection production that is different from the simultaneous production suggestion production is executed in the specific production mode. It is possible to prevent the suggested content from becoming difficult to understand due to overlapping of the suggestion effect and the special role selection suggestion effect.

  Moreover, since the display modes of the areas other than the specific effect areas 51a and 51b can be shared between the specific effect mode and the normal effect mode, it is possible to suppress the volume of image data and moving image data to be used.

  In the present embodiment, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b can be erased by operating the stop switch 8C for a predetermined time or more while the basic screen is displayed. It is possible to prevent the specific effect areas 51a and 51b, that is, the area in which the effect is not performed in the normal effect mode, from interfering with the player who plays the game without shifting to the above.

  By entering the password and shifting to the specific performance mode, the point meter indicating the level value specified from the password and the number of points required until the next level rise is displayed. The game history can be easily confirmed. Note that the game history displayed in the specific effect area is not limited to the level value and the number of points as described above, and the accumulated game number and accumulated bonus number, as well as the level value and accumulated game that are the execution conditions for the aforementioned effects. The number or the remaining value up to the cumulative bonus number may be displayed.

  In addition, it is possible to perform an effect using the specific effect areas 51a and 51b assigned to change the effect mode in the specific effect mode. For example, as shown in FIGS. 20 (a) to 20 (c), a wind effect is displayed in the background area, and the specific effect areas 51a and 51b themselves are moved accordingly, so that the specific effect area is changed in the background wind. 51a and 51b can be displayed as if they were skipped, and thereby the reaction of the character inside may be changed. By doing so, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are effectively used as effects. can do.

  In this embodiment, the configuration can be shifted to the specific performance mode other than the input of the password. However, the configuration may be switched to the specific performance mode only when the password is input. Even if the operation for shifting to the specific effect mode for collecting the history is a password issued from the management server 1200 and the operation for inputting the password, that is, a complicated operation is required, the game history is accumulated. It is possible to promote the use of functions.

  In the present embodiment, when the sub CPU 91a inputs a password or “easy start”, or when a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56, the game end operation ( Until today's game data or data clear is selected), at the end of the bonus (whether BB or RB), a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the bonus is generated, and FIG. As shown, the generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In the output two-dimensional code, as shown in FIG. 23, a URL indicating the location of the update page on the management server and a game from when the previous bonus ends until the special role that triggered the bonus is won. The number of games between bonuses, the bonus type that is the type of the special role that triggered the bonus, the simultaneous winning combination of the special role that triggered the bonus, and the final effect of the bonus are executed The effect type at the time of finalization, which is the type of the effect that has led to (a suggestion of the possibility of winning the special role), and the additional effect (the advance notice of the effect, (Cut-in interrupted during production, production background different from normal, etc.) A to C are stored.

  Then, the management server 1200 reads the two-dimensional code by the portable terminal 1100 and accesses the URL of the management server 1200 specified from the two-dimensional code, so that the management server 1200 displays bonus information related to the bonus specified from the two-dimensional code. It is reflected in the contents of the player database provided.

  As shown in FIG. 24A, the data structure stored in the two-dimensional code that can specify the bonus information has a storage area allocated in advance for each data type. Specifically, the URL storage area (1 Kbyte), the bonus game number storage area (2 bytes), the bonus type storage area (1 byte), the simultaneous winning combination storage area (1 byte), and the finalized effect type A storage area (2 bytes), a storage area for additional effects A (2 bytes), a storage area for additional effects B (2 bytes), and a storage area for additional effects C (2 bytes) are assigned as respective storage areas.

  The corresponding data itself is stored in the URL and the number of games between bonuses, whereas the bonus type, simultaneous winning combination, finalized effect type, and additional effect are shown in FIGS. 24B to 24E. In this way, an identification number for identifying each content is assigned, and each storage area of bonus type, simultaneous winning combination, finalized effect type, and additional effect is not the corresponding data itself but the corresponding data. Only the identification number corresponding to is stored in the corresponding storage area.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 24B to 24E, points are assigned to the bonus type, simultaneous winning combination, finalized effect type, and additional effect, and are specified from the two-dimensional code. Based on the bonus information related to the bonus, the management server 1200 can score the bonus based on the bonus information.

  A larger value is assigned to these points as the appearance rate is lower, and a higher score is obtained for a bonus in which a finalized effect is executed through an effect with a lower appearance rate and an additional effect.

  The additional effects are effects that can be executed in a plurality in association with an effect that has resulted in execution of the bonus finalization effect. In principle, the additional effects are executed in association with the effect in which the finalization effect of the bonus has been executed. The identification numbers indicating the additional effects are stored in the additional effects A to C, respectively. At this time, if the executed additional effect is 3 or less, FFFF (H) is stored in the storage area of the additional effects A to C in which the identification number of the additional effect is not stored.

  On the other hand, there may be a case where four or more additional effects are executed in association with an effect that results in the execution of one finalized effect. In this case, only three additional effects are stored in the additional effects A to C. The Rukoto.

  In the additional effect, as shown in FIG. 24 (e), a higher importance level is set for a value with a larger identification number. When four or more additional effects are executed, the importance level is increased. The identification numbers of the three additional effects are stored in the storage areas of the additional effects A to C in descending order.

  The importance level is inversely proportional to the appearance rate of each additional effect, and the additional effect with a lower appearance rate is set to have a higher importance level. As a result, the three additional effects are ordered in descending order of the number of points given. Are stored in the storage areas of the additional effects A to C.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21, at the end of the bonus (whether BB or RB), a screen on which a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the bonus is displayed surrounds the periphery of the two-dimensional code. A frame is displayed, and the color of the frame changes according to the total number of points given in the bonus information described above. The number of points given in the bonus information is stored in the number of games between bonuses (1 game = 1 point) + the number of points of bonus type + the number of points of simultaneous winning combination + the number of points of effect type at the time of determination + additional effect A The number of points of the additional effect + the number of points of the additional effect stored in the additional effect B + the number of points of the additional effect stored in the additional effect C. The color of the frame changes according to the number of points. The number of points of bonus information specified from the two-dimensional code can be recognized to some extent from the color of the frame of the two-dimensional code.

  The two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information is displayed not only at the end of the bonus but also until the next bonus, as shown in FIGS. 22 (a) and 22 (b). ”Menu item is displayed, the bonus information (final effect type, number of games between bonuses, bonus type) up to three times before is displayed, and in this state, the effect switch 56 is turned on. By operating, a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the previous bonus is generated, and the generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. Even if the display of the 2D code is terminated without reading the 2D code that can specify the bonus information at the end of the bonus, Until eggplant, and it is capable of displaying the side two-dimensional code.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, every time a bonus is generated, in addition to the two-dimensional code that can be specified from the game history from the start to the end of the game that is generated and displayed at the end of the game, the bonus is generated. At the end of the game, a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the bonus is generated and displayed, and the bonus information accumulated from the start of the game to the end of the game is generated at the end of the game. Since it is not necessary to add it to the code, a game history exceeding the amount of data that can be output by the two-dimensional code generated at the end of the game can be stored in an external device such as the management server 1200.

  In the present embodiment, when provisional registration is performed, a password is entered, a “simple start” is entered, or a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56, then, Until the end operation of the game (today's game data or data clear selection) is made, each time the bonus ends, a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the bonus is generated and displayed. The bonus information can be reflected on the management server 1200 side. However, only when the game is started by inputting a password, a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the bonus is provided at the end of the bonus. In addition to the configuration for generating and displaying, a configuration in which a password is stored in a two-dimensional code may be used. Thus, the management server 1200 can authenticate whether or not the bonus information is from a player who is currently playing, and the bonus information output when another player plays the game cannot be used. become.

  In the present embodiment, at the end of the bonus, a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the bonus is output. However, the two-dimensional code is output based on at least the occurrence of the bonus. Any configuration can be used, and the same effects as described above can be obtained even when the two-dimensional code is output at other timings such as when the bonus starts or during the bonus.

  Further, in this embodiment, a two-dimensional code that can specify information related to the bonus is output in response to a bonus that is a gaming state advantageous to the player, but at least a game advantageous to the player The present invention may be applied to other gaming states as long as a two-dimensional code that can specify information related to the gaming state is output when the state occurs.

  For example, in addition to bonuses, a gaming state in which the winning probability of a specific role (at least one of a small role, a replaying role, and a special role) is increased, and an operation mode advantageous for the player (for deriving an advantageous display mode) A game state in which an operation mode or an operation mode for avoiding the disadvantageous display mode) is notified, a game state in which a lottery of whether or not to control to a game state advantageous to the player is more advantageous than usual, etc. The game state may be applied as an advantageous game state for the player, and a two-dimensional code that can specify information related to the game state is output in response to the game state.

  In addition, when a pachinko gaming machine 700 described later is applied as a gaming machine, the number of gaming balls is less reduced than usual, such as a game state in which more game balls can be acquired than usual, such as a big hit, and an electric chew support control state. A two-dimensional code that can be applied as a gaming state advantageous to the player, such as a gaming state, a probability change state, etc., which has a higher probability of hitting the game than usual, and can identify information related to the gaming state triggered by the gaming state May be output.

  Further, in this embodiment, the data structure stored in the two-dimensional code that can specify the bonus information has a storage area allocated in advance for each type of data, and is subdivided among the types of stored data. An identification number is assigned to each converted data, and only the identification number corresponding to the corresponding data is stored in each storage area, and the data constituting the bonus information (type name of effect pattern) For example, the amount of data that can be stored in the two-dimensional code as bonus information can be increased as compared with the case of storing each of them.

  In addition, a plurality of additional effects may be executed simultaneously as in the case of additional effects, but a plurality of additional effects are not always executed at the same time. The storage area will be compressed accordingly. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, only a smaller number of storage areas (additional effects A to C) than the maximum necessary number are allocated, and importance is assigned to the corresponding data, so that more data than the number of storage areas is allocated. When this occurs, only data that can be stored in descending order of importance is stored in the storage area. For this reason, it is not necessary to secure a storage area for data that is uncertain whether or not it occurs, and even when the number of storage areas is exceeded, high-priority data is reliably output and stored externally. It becomes possible.

  In the present embodiment, the greater the number of points according to the type of additional effect, the higher the importance, and the identification number indicating the additional effect with a high point is preferentially stored. Even when a shortage of additional effects occurs, data that is most advantageous to the player is output.

  In this embodiment, for each data category, only one storage area is allocated (bonus type, simultaneous winning combination, finalized effect type storage area) and one category. A storage area (a storage area for additional effects A to C) in which a plurality of storage areas are assigned to data is mixed, but a configuration including only one of the storage areas is also possible.

  In addition, when only a storage area to which a plurality of storage areas are assigned to data classified into one category is assigned, only a smaller number of storage areas than the maximum required number are assigned and the corresponding data is assigned. When the importance is assigned and more data than the number of storage areas is generated, it is preferable that only the data that can be stored in the order of importance is stored in the storage area. With this configuration, there is no need to secure a storage area for data that is uncertain whether or not it occurs, and even when the number of storage areas is exceeded, high-priority data is reliably output, It can be stored externally.

  Further, in this embodiment, a frame surrounding the two-dimensional code is displayed on the screen on which the two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information is displayed, and the total number of points given in the bonus information described above is displayed. Accordingly, the color of the frame changes, and the number of points of bonus information specified from the two-dimensional code can be recognized to some extent from the color of the frame of the two-dimensional code.

  In this embodiment, the greater the number of points, the greater the number of bonus points accumulated in the management server 1200 and the greater the number of benefits that can be acquired accordingly. Therefore, the greater the number of points, the higher the importance. Even if the bonus information is simply coded information and the contents cannot be immediately understood, the number of points of the bonus information specified from the two-dimensional code from the color of the frame of the two-dimensional code That is, it is possible to recognize the importance of the information specified from the two-dimensional degree.

  In the present embodiment, the importance level of the bonus information specified from the two-dimensional code is notified by the difference in the color of the frame of the two-dimensional code. However, if the notification mode can recognize the importance level, The notification may be made in any manner, and the notification is not limited to the display manner of the liquid crystal display 51, and may be notified by the lighting manner of the LED or the like, or the output of sound or sound effect.

  Further, in this embodiment, as described later, when a privilege is given in the management server 1200, the game accumulated according to the game history from the game start to the game end specified from the two-dimensional code output at the end of the game. Bonus history (additional achievement achievement rate and bonus points described later) accumulated according to history (levels and mission achievement rates described later), bonus information related to the bonus specified from the two-dimensional code output at the end of the bonus Etc.), both of the histories satisfy a certain condition, and otherwise, a specific privilege that is not granted is given to the player, and is output at the end of the game 2 In addition to the storage of the dimensional code and the game history specified from the two-dimensional code, the two-dimensional code that is output every time a bonus is generated It can prompt also acquire and accumulation of bonus information identified from the 2-dimensional code.

  Next, the management server 1200, which is an example of the management apparatus of the present invention, will be described. The management server 1200 is configured by a general server computer including a CPU, a RAM, and the like, and the mobile terminal 1100 via the Internet. It can be accessed from, and management of game history, issuance of passwords, provision of privileges, etc. are performed. Note that the management server 1200 of this embodiment can be accessed only from the terminal to which the terminal identification information (SIM data) is assigned, and the terminal to which the terminal identification information is not assigned or the terminal identification information is assigned. However, access is denied to terminals that refuse to transmit terminal identification information.

  The management server 1200 includes a player database that manages a player's game history, a game history database that manages a game history for each game, a privilege database that stores privilege data given to the player, and an unregistered player A temporary registration database for managing the temporary registration data.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (a), the player database corresponds to the terminal identification information (SIM data) that can identify the portable terminal owned by the player, the current status (standby, in game), password (Last issued), number of accesses (number of passwords issued), total number of games to date, total number of BBs, total number of RBs, current level, current story stage, production settings 1-4 Contents, achievement status by mission (1 mission completed, 0 mission not completed), bonus points (cumulative value of points counted based on bonus information), achievement status by additional performance (achieved) 1 is stored for the additional effects, and 0) for the additional effects that have not been achieved.

  As shown in FIG. 25 (b), the game history database corresponds to the terminal identification information (SIM data) that can identify the portable terminal owned by the player who played the game and the game end date and time. Sometimes game random numbers randomly acquired by the slot machine 1, the number of games in the game, the number of BBs in the game, the number of RBs in the game, the level value at the end of the game, the end of the game The stage of the time story, the setting contents of the production settings 1 to 4 at the end of the game, and the achievement status by mission in the game are stored.

  As shown in FIG. 25C, the privilege database corresponds to the privilege ID that can identify the privilege, the storage location of the privilege data, the type of privilege data, the type of condition for granting the privilege, the condition of the corresponding type A value is stored. As the type of condition, a level, a mission achievement rate, the number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the like can be set, and a condition value according to the type can be set.

  As shown in FIG. 25D, the temporary registration database includes the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the mobile terminal that has transmitted the start registration request, the start random number specified from the start registration request, and the start registration. The registration date and time when the request was received, bonus points (cumulative value of points totaled based on bonus information), achievement status for each additional effect (1 for achieved additional effects, 0 for unachieved additional effects) Are registered in association with each other.

  Next, the operation of the management server 1200 when performing membership registration by accessing the management server from the mobile terminal 1100 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 26, when performing membership registration with the mobile terminal 1100, first, the mobile terminal 1100 accesses the member registration page of the management server 1200. Then, member information such as a name is input on the member registration page, and a member registration request including the input member information and terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 is transmitted to the management server 1200.

  When a membership registration request is made from the portable terminal 1100, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal identification information of the portable terminal that has made the membership registration request matches the terminal identification information already registered in the player database. If there is matching terminal identification information, the member corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is determined by updating the already registered member information or assuming that only the terminal identification information has been registered by simple start. The information is updated to the member information specified from the member registration request, and the registration result is notified to the mobile terminal that has made the member registration request.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that made the member registration request does not match the terminal identification information already registered in the player database, the member registration is performed as a member registration request by an unregistered player. The terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that made the request and the member information specified from the member registration request are associated with each other and newly registered in the player database, and the registration result is notified to the mobile terminal that made the member registration request.

  Upon receiving the registration result, the portable terminal 1100 displays the registration result and notifies the player to that effect.

  Next, operations of the management server 1200 and the slot machine 1 when a player who plays a game for the first time inputs “easy start” and plays a game in the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 27, when “Easy Start” is selected in the slot machine 1, a starting random number is acquired, and the URL indicating the location of the temporary registration page and the starting random number can be specified at the first starting time. A two-dimensional code is generated and displayed.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the mobile terminal 1100 and makes a start registration request including the start random number analyzed from the two-dimensional code and the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 to the management server 1200. Thus, the terminal identification information can be registered in the temporary registration database of the management server 1200.

  When a start registration request is made from the mobile terminal 1100, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the start registration request matches the terminal identification information already registered in the player database. If there is matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal is notified that the registration is impossible.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the registration request at the start does not match the terminal identification information already registered in the player database, the terminal identification information identified from the registration request at the start, The random number and the registration date and time (date and time when the registration request at the start is received) are associated with each other and registered in the temporary registration database, and a notification to that effect is sent to the mobile terminal.

  In the slot machine 1, when “Easy start” is input and a two-dimensional code is displayed, the starting random number is stored in the starting random number storage area and the game history is initialized to change from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode. Transition.

  Then, when the player finishes the game and selects “Create 2D code” from the main menu screen, the starting random number stored in the starting random number storage area and the total number of games stored in the personal history storing area , BB count, RB count, mission mission type, level value stored in the level storage area, story stage stored in the story storage area, stage settings 1 to 4 stored in the stage setting storage area A two-dimensional code is generated from these data and the URL indicating the location of the main registration page and displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and also includes a personal history storage area and a level storage. The area, the story storage area, and the effect setting storage area are initialized, and the specific effect mode is shifted to the normal effect mode.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the mobile terminal 1100, and sends an end-time registration request including the start random number, the game history, and the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 analyzed from the two-dimensional code to the management server 1200. Accordingly, the terminal identification information and the initial game history can be registered in the player database and game history database of the management server 1200.

  When a termination registration request is made from the portable terminal 1100, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal identification information of the portable terminal that has made the termination registration request matches the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database. If there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal is notified that registration is impossible.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the registration request at the end matches the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database, it is registered in the temporary registration database corresponding to the matching terminal identification information. It is determined whether or not the start random number matches the start random number specified from the end registration request, and if both start random numbers do not match, the mobile terminal is informed that registration is impossible. To notify.

  If both start random numbers match, the terminal identification information of the portable terminal that made the end registration request is newly registered in the player database, and the terminal identification information is associated with the terminal identification information from the end registration request. Registering the specified game history in the player database, registering the game history specified from the end registration request in association with the terminal identification information and the game date and time (current date and time data) in the game history database, Notify the completion of the main registration to the mobile terminal that made the registration request at the end.

  In addition, when both start random numbers match, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the registration request at the end is newly registered in the player database, and at the same time, the terminal identification information in the temporary registration database and the corresponding The starting random number and registration date / time are deleted. If bonus points and additional achievement achievement statuses are registered corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information in the temporary registration database, these bonus points and additional production achievement statuses are also stored in the player database before deletion. sign up.

  In addition, the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database, the corresponding starting random number, and the registration date and time will be maintained until the day after the registration date if the registration is not performed in response to the registration request at the end. Even if the main registration is not performed due to the registration request at the end, it is deleted.

  Next, operations of the management server 1200 and the slot machine 1 when issuing a password and playing a game in the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 28, when a new password issuance request is made from the portable terminal 1100, the management server 1200 identifies the terminal identification information in which the terminal identification information of the portable terminal that has issued the issuance request is registered in the player database. It is determined whether or not the information matches the information, and if there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal is notified that it is not issued.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has issued the request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the player sets the level, story stage, and effect setting corresponding to the terminal identification information. Get password from database and issue password.

  The password is generated by a procedure reverse to the procedure shown in FIG. First, the level of the corresponding terminal identification information, the stage of the story, and the effect setting are acquired, and a 30-bit value is created based on the acquired data. At this time, when it is the player's birthday or when it is an anniversary such as one month from registration, anniversary data is also set to create a 30-bit value. Next, a 6-bit random value is acquired, and the acquired value is used as a hash value between the lower 3 bits and 4 bits, between the lower 6 bits and the lower 7 bits, between the lower 13 bits and the lower 14 bits, and lower One bit is inserted between 19 bits and the lower 20 bits, between the lower 23 bits and the lower 24 bits, and between the lower 27 bits and the lower 28 bits, thereby creating a 36-bit value. Next, a 4-bit random value (0 to 15) is acquired, and the acquired value (maximum 15) is shifted to the left by the number of bits. At this time, the value overflowed in the left direction is shifted to the lower bits.

  Next, the value used for the bit shift, that is, the 4-bit random value is divided into the upper 2 bits and the lower 2 bits, and added to the upper 2 bits and the lower 2 bits of 36 bits as the random values described above, respectively, Value. Next, the created 40-bit value is divided every 5 bits and replaced with a decimal number, and the replaced value is replaced with a character based on the password analysis table shown in FIG. To do.

  Next, it is determined whether or not it matches the password registered in the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database, that is, the previously issued password, and if it matches, it matches the previous password in the procedure described above. The password is generated again until it is determined not to do so.

  The management server 1200 issues a password that does not match the previous password as described above, transmits the password to the mobile terminal 1100 that issued the issue request, and stores the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that issued the issue request in the player database. The corresponding password is updated to the password issued this time, and the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is updated during the game. When a password issuance request is accepted, password issuance is not prohibited even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game, and a new password issuance request is accepted in such a situation. Even if a password is issued, a new password is issued and the previous password becomes invalid.

  When the password is issued in response to the password issuance request, the issued password is displayed on the portable terminal, and the player inputs the displayed password to the slot machine 1. Then, in the slot machine 1 in which the password is input, the input password is analyzed as described above, and when the password is authenticated, the level specified from the password, the stage of the story, and the production setting are set on the slot machine 1 side. By doing so, it becomes possible to play a game by taking over the level, story stage, and production settings managed by the management server 1200. At this time, the password is stored in the password storage area, and the normal effect mode is shifted to the specific effect mode.

  In addition, it is possible to set anniversary data for the password as described above. If a specific anniversary is set as the anniversary data, the password is specific to the anniversary in the specific performance mode. Can be performed.

  Then, when the player finishes the game and selects “Create 2D code” from the main menu screen, the password stored in the password storage area, the total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, the number of BBs, It consists of the number of RBs, the type of mission completed, the level value stored in the level storage area, the stage of the story stored in the story storage area, and the effect settings 1 to 4 stored in the effect setting storage area A game random number is acquired from a game history and a random number updated within a certain range, a two-dimensional code is generated from these data and a URL indicating the location of the update page, and is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The personal history storage area is initialized, and the specific performance mode is shifted to the normal performance mode.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the mobile terminal 1100 and sends an update request including the game history, password, game random number, and terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 analyzed from the two-dimensional code to the management server 1200. As a result, the game history acquired by the two-dimensional code can be reflected in the player database of the management server 1200.

  When an update request is made from the mobile terminal 1100, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, If there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal is notified that it cannot be updated.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that made the update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the password identified from the update request is changed to the terminal identification identified from the update request. The password is checked against the password registered in the player database in association with the information. If the password specified from the update request matches the password registered in the player database, the player is authenticated as the player who issued the password, and the password specified from the update request and The game random number is compared with the password and the game random number registered in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request in the game history database, and it is determined whether or not they match. Based on the game history specified from the update request, the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated and specified from the update request in association with the terminal identification information and the game date and time (current date and time data). Registered game history and game random numbers in the game history database, and the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is updated during standby. And, notifying the update completion to the mobile terminal that has made the update request. On the other hand, if the password and game random number specified from the update request match the password and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request, Since there is an extremely high possibility that the update request is the same two-dimensional code used for the update request, the mobile terminal is notified that the update is impossible.

  Further, as a result of checking the password specified from the update request with the password registered in the player database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request, when both passwords do not match, It is determined whether only one of the characters is a difference of 1 o'clock before and after the arrangement in the password input. The difference of 1 o'clock before and after the arrangement at the time of password input is the one character before and after the password input screen shown in FIG. 10B. “Y” and “=” correspond.

  And if only one of the characters is a difference other than the difference of one hour before and after, that is, if two or more characters are different or one character is different, but it is not one hour before and after, update The mobile terminal is notified that it is impossible. On the other hand, if it is a difference of 1 hour before and after only one of the characters, it is temporarily authenticated that the player who issued the password is satisfied, and the password specified from the update request and The game random number is compared with the password and the game random number registered in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request in the game history database, and it is determined whether or not they match. Based on the game history specified from the update request, the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated and specified from the update request in association with the terminal identification information and the game date and time (current date and time data). Game history and game random numbers are registered in the game history database, the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is updated during standby, and an update request is made. It was notifying the update completion to the mobile terminal 1100.

  At this time, instead of updating all the corresponding items of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database based on the game history specified from the update request, the total number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, the player Update only items that do not affect the continuity of the game history, such as the types of missions that can appear at the level value of the corresponding terminal identification information registered in the database, and the level, story stage, production setting, and applicable terminal Items that affect the continuity of the game history, such as the types of missions that do not appear with the level value of the identification information, are not updated. In addition, in the notification of update completion, it is also notified that the passwords did not match completely but were in the range of input errors, so that only some items that did not affect continuity were updated. It is supposed to be.

  Also, if the password and game random number specified from the update request match the password and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request, the previous Since there is an extremely high possibility that the update request is the same two-dimensional code used for the update request, the mobile terminal is notified that the update is impossible.

  In addition, if you forget to obtain a two-dimensional code at the end of the game, even if the status remains in game, issuance of a new password is permitted without making an update request as described above. It is like that.

  Next, operations of the management server 1200 and the slot machine 1 when playing a game in the slot machine 1 without issuing a password will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 29, when a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56 in the slot machine 1, the game history is initialized and the normal effect mode is shifted to the specific effect mode. Even in the specific effect mode, when a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56, the game history is initialized.

  Then, when the player ends the game and selects “Create 2D Code” from the main menu screen, the total number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, the types of missions that are stored in the personal history storage area, A game random number is acquired from a game history consisting of the following, a random number updated within a certain range, and a two-dimensional code is generated from these data and a URL indicating the location of the update page, and displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 At the same time, the personal history storage area is initialized, and the specific effect mode is shifted to the normal effect mode.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the portable terminal 1100 and makes a simple update request including the game history analyzed from the two-dimensional code and the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 to the management server 1200. If the player is already registered in the player database of the management server 1200, the game history from that point to the end of the game can be reflected in the player database simply by pressing and holding the effect switch 56. It is like that.

  When a simple update request is made from the portable terminal 1100, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal identification information of the portable terminal that has made the simple update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database. If there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal is notified that the update is impossible.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the simple update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the game history and game random number specified from the simple update request, and the game history The game history and game random numbers registered in association with the terminal identification information specified from the simple update request in the database are collated to determine whether or not they match. The corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated based on the specified game history, and is specified from the simple update request in association with the terminal identification information and the game date and time (current date and time data). The mobile phone which registered the game history and game random number in the game history database, updated the status of the corresponding terminal identification information during standby, and made a simple update request Notifying the update completion to the end 1100.

  Note that the game history specified from the simple update request is only the total number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the types of missions achieved, and other items are not updated in the simple update request.

  On the other hand, when the game history and game random number specified from the simple update request match the game history and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the simple update request. Is very likely to be a simple update request using the same two-dimensional code used for the previous simple update request, and therefore notifies the mobile terminal that it cannot be updated.

  In addition, for the terminal identification information that has already been registered, the number of times that a simple update request has been made, that is, the number of times that a game has been played without receiving a password, is counted. If it is five times or more, the portable terminal is notified of a password recommendation guide for recommending that a game be issued upon receipt of a password.

  In the recommended password guidance, by playing a game after receiving a password, you can take over the level, story stage, production settings, etc. Therefore, the content prompting the user to receive a password is provided.

  Next, operations of the management server 1200 and the slot machine 1 when the bonus ends or when the bonus information display operation is selected will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 30, in the slot machine 1, a specific effect mode, that is, temporary registration is performed, a password is input, or a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56, so that the specific effect mode is controlled. If a bonus is generated in the state where the bonus is generated, bonus information including the number of games between bonuses, bonus type, simultaneous winning combination, finalized effect type, and additional effect is acquired, and these data and bonus information are updated. A two-dimensional code is generated from the URL indicating the location of the page and displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The same applies to the case where the “main menu” is displayed, “bonus history” is selected, and the bonus information is displayed. In this case, the bonus information related to the immediately preceding bonus is acquired. A two-dimensional code is generated and displayed.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the portable terminal 1100 and makes a bonus information update request including bonus information analyzed from the two-dimensional code and terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 to the management server 1200. Thus, it can be reflected in the player database (or temporary registration database).

  When a bonus information update request is made from the portable terminal 1100, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal identification information of the portable terminal that has made the bonus information update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database. If the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the bonus information update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the bonus information update request is based on the bonus information specified from the bonus information update request. The corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated, and the completion of the update is notified to the portable terminal 1100 that made the bonus information update request.

  Specifically, the bonus information specified from the bonus information update request further specifies the number of games between bonuses, bonus type, simultaneous winning combination, finalized effect type, and additional effect. The additional achievement achievement status is updated, and the number of points based on the bonus information is totaled and added to the bonus points in the player database.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the bonus information update request does not match the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the bonus information update request is It is determined whether or not it matches the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database, and if there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal is notified that the update is impossible. Further, when the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the bonus information update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database, the temporary registration is performed based on the bonus information specified from the bonus information update request. The corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the database is updated, and the update completion is notified to the portable terminal 1100 that made the bonus information update request.

  Next, operation | movement of the management server 1200 at the time of providing a privilege is demonstrated based on FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 31, when a privilege is obtained with the mobile terminal 1100, the privilege grant page of the management server 1200 is first accessed from the mobile terminal 1100. Then, a privilege request including the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 is transmitted to the management server 1200 on the privilege grant page.

  When a privilege request is made from the mobile terminal, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the privilege request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database. If there is no terminal identification information to be notified, the mobile terminal is notified that the request is not possible.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the privilege request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the player database is informed based on the terminal identification information specified from the privilege request. Get the player's game history.

  Next, the privilege data satisfying the grant condition is extracted based on the condition type and the condition value of the privilege database and the game history acquired from the player database, and the privilege list is created and the portable terminal 1100 that has made the privilege request is extracted. Deliver to

  When a desired privilege is selected from the privilege list on the mobile terminal 1100 that has acquired the privilege list, data indicating the selected privilege type is transmitted to the management server 1200. In response, the management server 1200 corresponds to the privilege type. The privilege data extracted from the storage location of the privilege data to be distributed is distributed to the mobile terminal 1100 that has made the privilege request, and the player who has made the privilege request based on this acquires the privilege data.

  In particular, in this embodiment, the bonus information related to the bonus specified by the game history (level, mission achievement rate, etc.) accumulated according to the game history and the two-dimensional code output at the end of the bonus is given as the grant conditions. Bonus history (additional effect achievement rate, bonus points, etc.) accumulated according to the requirements, and a specific privilege that both histories satisfy certain conditions are determined. Not only the two-dimensional code that can sometimes be acquired but also the bonus information read from the two-dimensional code that can be acquired at the end of the bonus cannot be acquired.

  As described above, in the gaming system of the present embodiment, by issuing a password issuance request at the portable terminal 1100, a password for specifying past gaming history is acquired and the gaming is started at the slot machine 1. It is possible to execute an effect that reflects the past game history, that is, the level, story stage, and effect settings made at other slot machines, etc., when the game ends. A password for updating the game history of the player managed by the management server 1200 to a new game history by acquiring a two-dimensional code at 1100 and making an update request, and specifying the next new game history Can be obtained, so that a continuous performance can be performed for a long time.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured to analyze a password input by a player and specify a past game history, so that each gaming machine such as the slot machine 1 and other gaming machines, Without connecting to the management server 1200, it is also possible to perform effects reflecting past game histories that have been played on other gaming machines.

  In addition, the password issued by the management server 1200 is registered in association with the terminal identification information for which the password issuance request is made, and is further outputted to end the game in the slot machine 1 and specify a new game history. The two-dimensional code also includes the password entered at the start of the game, the update request includes the password specified from the two-dimensional code, and the password registered in the management server 1200 and the password included in the update request By verifying, it is authenticated that the player is the player who issued the password, and the player's game history is updated to a new game history on the condition that the player has been authenticated. Even if three parties obtain another person's password and play a game to obtain a two-dimensional code, or obtain another person's two-dimensional code, the two-dimensional The game history specified from the game cannot be reflected in its own game history, and it is possible to take over a new game history by a player who has been issued a password, while the game that has received a password issuance It becomes impossible for a player other than the player to take over the game history. As a result, it is meaningless to divert or steal a password or a two-dimensional code. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the diversion or theft of a password and a two-dimensional code.

  In addition, since the management server 1200 generates a random value every time a password issuance request is issued from the portable terminal 1100 and is issued, the same password is used when a game history having the same content is specified. However, since it is difficult to tamper with the password, it is possible to more reliably prevent the diversion or theft of the password and the two-dimensional code.

  In addition, when the management server 1200 receives an update request from the mobile terminal 1100, the management server 1200 collates the password registered in the management server 1200 with the password included in the update request. The player who has performed is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, and the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated based on the game history specified from the update request.

  On the other hand, in the slot machine 1, even if there is an input mistake when entering the password, if the data analyzed from the password is normal, the password is authenticated and the mode is shifted to the specific performance mode. Since the password stored in the two-dimensional code is also a password due to an input error, when the two-dimensional code is read and an update request is made to the management server 1200, the password registered in the management server 1200 The passwords included in the update request will not match, and the game history may not be updated.

  For this reason, in the management server 1200 according to the present embodiment, even when the password registered in the management server 1200 and the password included in the update request do not match, only one character has a difference of 1 hour before and after. The player is authenticated as a player who has been issued a password, assuming that a specific condition that is presumed to be an input error is satisfied, and the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is determined based on the game history specified from the update request. The corresponding item is updated, and even if the player enters the password incorrectly, the game history is updated if the error is within a range that satisfies a specific condition that is presumed to be an input error. This makes it possible to prevent the game history of playing games during that time from being wasted.

  In addition, if the player who made the update request with the password registered in the management server 1200 matching the password included in the update request is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, the identification is made from the update request. While all the corresponding items of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database are updated based on the played game history, the password registered in the management server 1200 does not match the password included in the update request When one of the characters is a difference of 1 hour before and after, and the player who made the update request is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, assuming that a specific condition presumed to be an input error is satisfied Among the corresponding items of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database, the total number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, Only items that do not affect the continuity of the game history, such as the types of achievement missions that can appear at the level value of the corresponding terminal identification information recorded, are updated, the level, the stage of the story, the production settings, and the corresponding terminal identification information Items that affect the continuity of the game history, such as the types of achievement missions that do not appear with the level value of, are not updated, for example, the level value falls below the original level value, the story As a result of playing a game with an incorrect password, such as skipping the stage or causing a contradiction in the effect setting or the type of mission accomplished, it is possible to prevent a game history that has trouble with continuity from being updated.

  In addition, the password registered in the management server 1200 and the password included in the update request do not match, only one character is a difference of 1 hour before and after, and a specific condition presumed to be an input error is satisfied. When the player who made the update request is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, the password does not completely match in the update completion notification to the mobile terminal 1100 that made the update request. However, since it was informed that it was in the range of input mistakes, and therefore, only some items that did not affect continuity were updated, the player missed the password entry, but the game history It is possible to recognize that the game has been updated successfully, and to identify the cause of any game history that has not been updated.

  In this embodiment, the specific condition that the password is assumed to be an input error is that only one character has a difference of 1 hour before and after, but the password registered in the management server 1200 and the update request If the passwords included in the password are similar to each other and it is estimated that there is a high possibility of an input error, it can be applied as a specific condition only by the fact that both passwords differ by only one character. Alternatively, it may be applied as a specific condition by having a difference of 1 hour before and after up to 2 characters. In addition, when different characters in both passwords are characters that are likely to be mistaken, such as “O” and “0”, even if a similar condition such as a difference between uppercase and lowercase letters is applied as a specific condition good.

  Further, as in the present embodiment, if any one or more of these are satisfied, the password included in the update request may be authenticated, and if any one is satisfied, it is included in the update request. The password may be authenticated.

  Further, in this embodiment, the game history managed by the management server 1200 includes data that may interfere with continuity such as level, story stage, production setting, and the like. Since a two-dimensional code that can specify a game history including data that may hinder the performance is output, the password registered in the management server 1200 does not match the password included in the update request. If the player who made the update request is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, assuming that the specific condition presumed to be an input error is satisfied, the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database corresponds. Among the items, the achievement miss that can appear at the total game number, BB number, RB number, and the level value of the corresponding terminal identification information registered in the player database Only items that do not affect the continuity of the game history, such as the type of game, are updated. However, all the game histories managed by the management server 1200 are data that does not impair the continuity. If there is no restriction as described above, the password registered in the management server 1200 does not match the password included in the update request, and the update request Even when the performed player is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, all corresponding items of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database can be updated.

  In the management server 1200 according to the present embodiment, when a password issuance request is received, even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game, the issuance of the password is not prohibited. Even if a password issuance request is accepted, a new password is issued, and a two-dimensional code is obtained when a password is issued but no game is played or a game is played If not, even if a two-dimensional code has been acquired but no update request has been made, a new password can be issued without access for releasing the password.

  In addition, even if the game history specified from the two-dimensional code acquired by playing the game after the password is issued is reflected in the game history managed by the management server 1200, the level or story reflected at the next password issue There is a possibility that the same password may be issued without changing the stage and the production setting.

  As described above, when a password issuance request is accepted, even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game, the issuance of password is not prohibited. If you finish the game before changing the production settings and get a two-dimensional code, you can make an update request with the same two-dimensional code as many times as you like. There may be a problem that the game history such as the number of games, the number of BBs, and the number of RBs can be updated many times.

  For this reason, in this embodiment, when the management server 1200 issues a password, it determines whether or not it matches the password registered in the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database, that is, the previously issued password. If they match, by generating the password again until it is determined that it does not match the previous password in the procedure described above, the same password is not issued continuously to the same player. And when the management server 1200 receives the update request, the password and game random number specified from the update request, the password registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request, and Matching game random numbers, that is, passwords and game random numbers specified from past update requests, if they do not match Only, so as to update the corresponding entry of the corresponding terminal identification information of the player database based on the game history identified from the update request has to. As described above, although the same password is not issued continuously, if the password is not consecutive, it is possible that the same password is issued. However, even if the same password is issued, the combination of the game random number added to the two-dimensional code and the password can hardly be the same (the probability that the 32-bit game random number matches) 1/4294967296, and even if the game history is the same, the probability that the game random number matches the password is even lower). As described above, the password and game random number specified from the update request and the password and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request, that is, from the past update request. Since the game history is updated on condition that the specified password and game random number do not match, when the password issuance request is accepted, even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game Even if the password issuance is not prohibited, by making an update request with the same two-dimensional code as many times as possible, the number of games, the number of BBs, The game history such as the number of RBs cannot be updated many times.

  In this embodiment, when the management server 1200 receives an update request, it is registered in association with the password and game random number specified from the update request and the terminal identification information specified from the update request in the game history database. The corresponding password and game random number, that is, the password and game random number specified from the past update request are collated and only when they do not match, the corresponding terminal of the player database is based on the game history specified from the update request The corresponding item of the identification information is updated, and the number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, etc., even though the game is played only once by making an update request many times with the same two-dimensional code Although it is preferable from the point that it can be surely prevented that the game history can be updated many times, when the management server 1200 receives an update request, The password and game random number specified from the current update request are compared with the password and game random number specified from the previous update request, and the game is based on the game history specified from the update request only if they do not match. Even if it is configured to update the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the user database, the password issuance is prohibited when the password issuance request is accepted even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game Even in a configuration that is not played, a game such as the number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, etc., even though the game is played only once by making an update request with the same two-dimensional code many times It is possible to prevent the history from being updated many times.

  In addition, when the management server 1200 issues a password as described above, the management server 1200 receives an update request if the same password is not continuously issued to the same player. The password specified from the current update request and the password specified from the previous update request are collated, and only if they do not match, the corresponding in the player database is based on the game history specified from the update request. The corresponding item of the terminal identification information may be updated. Even in such a configuration, when a password issuance request is accepted, the password is not changed even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game. Even in a configuration where issuance is not prohibited, a game is played only once by making an update request many times with the same two-dimensional code. Despite the stomach, the number of games and BB number of times, many times the game history, such as RB number of times can be prevented from being able to update.

  In addition, when the management server 1200 issues a password as described above, a password is generated using not only the game history but also a random number (random value and hash value). Even if it is not confirmed whether or not they are the same, the probability that the same password is issued continuously is very low. For this reason, even when the same password is not continuously issued, a password is generated using a random number (random value and hash value) and the management server 1200 receives an update request. The password specified from the current update request and the password specified from the previous update request are collated, and only if they do not match, the corresponding in the player database is based on the game history specified from the update request. By configuring the corresponding item of terminal identification information to be updated, when a password issuance request is accepted, password issuance is not prohibited even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game. Even if it is a structure, a game is played only once by making an update request many times with the same two-dimensional code. And BB number of times, many times the game history, such as RB number of times can be prevented from being able to update. Note that the password specified from the current update request is compared not only with the password specified from the previous update request, but also with all passwords issued in the past for the same player (portable terminal with terminal identification information). If the configuration is such that the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated based on the game history specified from the update request on condition that they do not match, the same two-dimensional code is updated many times. By making the request, it is possible to more reliably prevent the game history such as the number of games, the number of BBs, and the number of RBs from being updated many times even though the game is played only once.

  In addition, if a random game random number is added every time a two-dimensional code is issued as described above, the management server 1200 adds a random number in addition to the game history or issues the same password continuously. Even when the management server 1200 receives an update request, the game random number identified from the current update request is compared with the game random number identified from the previous update request, Only when they do not match, the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database may be updated based on the game history specified from the update request. Even when the request is accepted, even if the password issuance is not prohibited even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game, the same two-dimensional code By performing any number of times update request, the player can be prevented that despite the do not go only once, the number of games and BB number of times, many times the game history, such as RB number of times she can update. Note that the game random number specified from the current update request is not only the game random number specified from the previous update request, but also the game history when the same player (the mobile terminal of the terminal identification information) made the update request. If the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated based on the game history specified from the update request, on the condition that all the game random numbers are checked and do not match, the same two-dimensional By making an update request with the code as many times as possible, the game history such as the number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, etc. can be updated many times even though the game is played only once. Can be prevented.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the management server 1200 issues a password, a random number is acquired, and the bits constituting the random number are set between the bits in the plurality of bits created by setting the game history. Passwords are generated based on the data obtained by inserting them as hash values, and even if the game history is similar, it is difficult for passwords to be similar, so passwords can be analyzed and tampered Difficult to do.

  In addition, the hash value may be inserted at a predetermined place between bits, but in the present embodiment, between the bits in a plurality of bits constituting one item of the game history (for example, Between the 8 bits constituting the level value) and the bits constituting one item of the game history and the bits constituting the other item of the game history (the bits constituting the level value and the bits constituting the anniversary) Since the hash value is inserted in both of the passwords, the password can be further varied.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the management server 1200 issues a password, a random number is acquired, and the multi-bit data created by setting the game history is shifted by the acquired random number (random value). In this configuration, a random value is added to the data after the shift, and the bits constituting the game history item can be changed every time it is issued. Therefore, even if the game history is the same, the password is the same. It becomes difficult to analyze or tamper with the password.

  In this embodiment, when the management server 1200 issues a password, the multi-bit data created by setting the game history is converted into characters according to the password analysis table shown in FIG. However, the relationship between the numerical value and the character in the password analysis table is not in the regular order as shown in FIG. 14A, for example, “A” “B” “C” “D” “E” The characters corresponding to... Are not in the order of regular “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, etc., but “10”, “3”, “22”, “8”, “5”, etc. By using a regular order, it becomes difficult to digitize passwords, and it becomes more difficult to analyze and falsify passwords.

  Further, in this embodiment, a player who has already been registered in the player database of the management server 1200 can start a game by simply pressing and holding the effect switch 56 without receiving a password. Is possible. Then, a two-dimensional code capable of specifying the game history from when the game start operation is performed in response to the long press of the effect switch 56 until the end is displayed. By making a simple update request to the management server 1200 based on the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, on the management server 1200 side, first, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that transmitted the simple update request is managed. It is determined whether or not already registered in the player database of the server 1200. If already registered, the game history corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information is updated to the game history specified from the registration request. It will be. For this reason, even a player whose terminal identification information has already been registered in the player database can use the game history storage function without receiving a password, and then the game end operation By simply accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the above, it is possible to register and store the game history during that time in the management server 1200. For this reason, even a player who wants to start a game immediately can use the function to accumulate the game history without issuing or entering a password and receive a privilege based on the accumulated game history It becomes.

  In particular, in this embodiment, since the use of the function for accumulating the game history can be started by simply pressing the effect switch 56 once, even the player who has started the game immediately accumulates the game history. Functions can be used easily.

  In this embodiment, the management server 1200 counts the number of times that a simple update request has been made for terminal identification information that has already been registered, that is, the number of times that a game has been played without receiving a password. It is determined whether or not the number of times is equal to or greater than a certain number. If the number is equal to or greater than the certain number, a password recommendation guide for recommending playing a game upon receiving a password is notified to the portable terminal. In this password recommendation guidance, by receiving a password issuance and playing a game, the level, story, production setting, etc. can be taken over, and by raising the level, an effect that will not be performed unless a password is issued is executed. The game history will be reflected in the production by using the password for the player who is playing the game without receiving the password. Can effectively promote the use of functions that can be used.

  In the present embodiment, the password recommendation guidance is notified when the number of times that the simple update request is made exceeds a certain number, but it may be notified at other timing. In the present embodiment, as described above, there are provided effects that are executed on condition that the number of accumulated games or the number of accumulated bonuses is equal to or greater than a certain number. Missions that are achieved by performing an effect that does not appear unless the number of bonuses is equal to or greater than a certain number, that is, missions that cannot be achieved unless the number of accumulated games or the number of bonuses is greater than or equal to a certain number. For this reason, at the timing when the cumulative number of games and the cumulative number of bonuses, etc., in the game history of the player who made the simple update request become a certain number of times or more, that is, when the game history meets the appearance condition of the production. Password recommendation guidance may be provided, and even in such a configuration, the game history is reflected in the production by using the password for the player who is playing the game without receiving the password issuance It is possible to effectively encourage the use of functions that are possible. In addition, when password recommended guidance is performed at a timing when the game history satisfies the appearance condition of the effect, the game history satisfies the appearance condition of the effect, so that a new effect can be executed. It is preferable to notify that the mission can be achieved and that there is a possibility that a privilege will be newly granted. By doing so, it is possible to reflect the game history in the production by using the password. It is possible to promote the use of functions more effectively.

  Further, in this embodiment, by inputting “easy start” in the slot machine 1, a random number at the start is acquired, and a password is input only by displaying a two-dimensional code that can identify the random number at the start. It is possible to play a game in the same manner as when a password is entered. Then, at the end of the game, a two-dimensional code that can specify the game history from the input of “easy start” to the end and the starting random number acquired when the “easy start” is input is displayed. Then, the player makes a start registration request to the management server 1200 based on the two-dimensional code displayed at the start of the game, and registers the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal and the start random number in the temporary registration database. By making a registration request at the end to the management server 1200 based on the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, the management server 1200 side starts the random number at the start specified from the registration request at the end, the management server 1200 On the condition that the starting random number registered in the temporary registration database matches the starting random number sent in the starting registration request, that is, The player's terminal identification information and game history are newly registered in the player database of the management server 1200, and the next time the password is issued, It is possible to take over the gravel. For this reason, a player who uses the game history storage function for the first time does not need to access the management server 1200 in advance and register as a member before playing a game. The two-dimensional code displayed by inputting “easy start” In this case, it is possible to start a game similar to the case where the password is input by accessing the management server 1200 once, and then access the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the end operation of the game. Thus, it is possible to register and store the game history during that time in the player database of the management server 1200.

  Further, the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database by the start registration request and the start random number coincide with the start random number included in the end registration request, and the game history specified from the start random number is registered. In this case, the starting random number generated for one player can be prevented from being misappropriated by other players, and the diversion by other players can be prevented. Since the management server 1200 only needs to determine whether terminal identification information and a starting random number matching the temporary registration database are registered, the load on the management server 1200 can be reduced.

  Further, in this embodiment, the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database, the corresponding start random number, and the registration date and time are maintained until the next day of the registration date even if the main registration is not performed in response to the end registration request. However, after that, even if the main registration is not performed due to the registration request at the end, temporary registration information that is unlikely to match will be deleted after the lapse of a predetermined period. Therefore, the storage capacity of the management server 1200 can be saved.

  In this embodiment, a time limit for erasing the temporary registration information is set two days after the registration date, that is, in units of date, but the temporary registration information is deleted when a certain time has passed since the registration. A configuration may be adopted, and even with such a configuration, the storage capacity of the management server 1200 does not have to be pressed as described above.

  Further, in this embodiment, only the mobile terminal to which the terminal identification information is given and the transmission of the terminal identification information is permitted allows the management server 1200 to access the mobile terminal. The player is specified based on the terminal identification information given to the user, and it is possible to effectively prevent unauthorized use of other people's information.

  As described above, the first embodiment of the present invention has been described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the first embodiment, and the present invention can be modified or added without departing from the gist of the present invention. Needless to say, it is included.

  For example, in the first embodiment, a slot machine is applied as a gaming machine, but information input means that can specify game history from the outside and output means that outputs information that can specify gaming history in the gaming machine are provided. A pachinko gaming machine described in Example 4 to be described later may be applied.

  In the first embodiment, a password is applied as information that can specify a game history to be input to the gaming machine, which is preferable because it is not necessary to provide a dedicated reading device for inputting information from the outside. The data may be encoded as a bar code or a two-dimensional code and read by a code reader, or data that can be input by wired connection, wireless connection, infrared connection, or the like. Therefore, it is possible to easily input these data.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the two-dimensional code is applied as information that can specify the game history output from the gaming machine and information that can specify the bonus information, and the player can simply hold the two-dimensional code reader. However, it may be output as other code data that can be read by a code reader such as a barcode, or data that can be output by wired connection, wireless connection, infrared connection, etc. Furthermore, a password may be applied in the same manner as information input to the gaming machine.

  Further, in the gaming system of the first embodiment, a privilege is given according to the player's game history stored in the player database of the management server 1200, but at least from the password entered in the gaming machine As long as the configuration is such that the game history is specified and the production reflecting the specified game history is performed, it is not always necessary to provide a privilege according to the game history. Even if a code is acquired, the game history specified from the two-dimensional code cannot be reflected in its own game history, and it is possible to take over a new game history by a player who has been issued a password. On the other hand, it becomes impossible for a player other than the player who received the password to take over the game history. As a result, it is meaningless to divert or steal a password or a two-dimensional code. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the diversion or theft of a password and a two-dimensional code. As a result, it is possible to prevent the value of the performance reflecting the game history from being significantly reduced, such as illegally manipulating the game history using another person's password or the like and reflecting the game history in the performance. .

  In the first embodiment, when a game is performed by performing temporary registration by “easy start”, a starting random number extracted from a random number that fluctuates within a certain range as information that can identify the game is applied. Any data can be used as long as the game can be specified on the management server 1200 side at the end of the game. For example, data that regularly changes such as a number to be added each time “easy start” is input may be applied. .

  In the first embodiment, only the portable terminal to which the terminal identification information is assigned and the transmission of the terminal identification information is permitted is permitted by the management server 1200. If the player can be identified by information (Cookie) that can identify the terminal, or if the player can be identified by the player ID assigned on the management server 1200 side, the terminal to which the terminal identification information is assigned, The access may be permitted from a terminal that is not permitted to transmit terminal identification information.

  In the first embodiment, information related to the player (game history, etc.) is managed in association with the terminal identification information. However, information related to the player is managed in association with the player ID that can identify the player. The structure to do may be sufficient.

[Example 2]
Next, a second embodiment of a slot machine, a management server, and a gaming system comprising these to which the present invention is applied will be described. Since the present embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment, the configuration different from the first embodiment will be mainly described here.

  In the slot machine 1 of the first embodiment described above, when a player whose terminal identification information is not registered in the player database uses the function of accumulating the game history for the first time, by inputting “easy start”, 2 Dimension code is displayed, and it is possible to play a game in the same way as when a password is entered without entering a password, and the two-dimensional code is displayed at the end of the game. In the slot machine of the embodiment, even when a player whose terminal identification information is not registered in the player database uses the function of accumulating the game history for the first time, simply entering “Easy Start” and entering the password A game capable of storing a game history can be started without inputting. At this time, the two-dimensional code is not displayed and it is not necessary to access the management server 1200.

  Specifically, in the slot machine of this embodiment, when “Easy start” is selected, the values of the personal history storage areas (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs, achievement mission) assigned to the RAM 91c are initialized.

  In the personal history storage area, game histories (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs) since “easy start” is selected are accumulated. Furthermore, when a mission (issue) set in advance in the slot machine is achieved as in the case where a password is input, a history of achievement missions indicating the types of missions achieved is also accumulated. However, in the case of an easy start, unlike the case of entering a password, no points are given, the level does not increase, and the production setting cannot be changed from the default setting.

  Then, when the player finishes the game, when performing the game end operation (select “2D code creation” on the main menu screen), the game random number is acquired from the random number updated within a certain range, The current date / time information is acquired, and a two-dimensional code for the end of the game is generated and displayed from the game history, game random number, and date / time information after “easy start” is input.

  Then, the player obtains the displayed two-dimensional code with a portable terminal and accesses the management server 1200, so that a player who has played a game for the first time has a game history specified from the two-dimensional code. In addition, the terminal identification information of the portable terminal possessed by the player can be registered in the player database, and when the player after the second time inputs “easy start” and plays a game, the two-dimensional code Can be reflected in the game history registered in the player database corresponding to the terminal identification information of the portable terminal possessed by the player.

  The two-dimensional code displayed when the game is ended after selecting “Easy Start” and starting the game indicates the location of the update page on the management server 1200, unlike when the game is started by entering a password. The URL, the game random number acquired at the end of the game, the total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the type of mission accomplished are stored.

  Then, the two-dimensional code is read by the portable terminal 1100, and the URL of the management server 1200 specified by the two-dimensional code is accessed, so that the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed portable terminal is already registered in the player database. When the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed mobile terminal is already registered, the game history corresponding to the matching terminal identification information is updated. .

  On the other hand, when the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed mobile terminal is not registered, data in which the combination of the game random number specified from the two-dimensional code and the date information (game date) matches in the game history database. It is determined whether or not it is registered, and on the condition that no matching data is registered, the terminal identification information of the accessed mobile terminal is newly registered and specified from the two-dimensional code in association with the terminal identification information The game history to be played is newly registered, and thereafter, it becomes possible to receive a password based on these data.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to play a game in the same manner as when a password is input without inputting a password simply by inputting “easy start”. At the end of the game, a two-dimensional code that can specify the game history from the input of “easy start” to the end, the game random number acquired at the end, and date / time information is displayed. Then, by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, on the management server 1200 side, the game random number and date / time information (game date / time) specified from the two-dimensional code transmitted at the end of the game , And the game history specified by the two-dimensional code, that is, the player, on the condition that the combination of the game random number and the date / time information (game date / time) registered in the management server 1200 do not match It is possible to register a new game history. Therefore, a player who uses the game history storage function for the first time does not need to access the management server 1200 in advance to register as a member before playing a game. It becomes possible to use the storage function, and thereafter, it is possible to register and store the game history in the management server 1200 only by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the game end operation. Become.

  Further, in this embodiment, even a player who plays a game for the second time or later can start a game by simply inputting “easy start” without receiving a password. In this case as well as the first player, at the end of the game, it is possible to specify the game history from the input of "Easy Start" to the end, the game random number obtained at the end, and date information (game date and time) A two-dimensional code is displayed. Then, by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, the management server 1200 first has the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that transmitted the game history as the player of the management server 1200. It is determined whether or not it is already registered in the database, and if it is already registered, the game history corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information is updated to the game history specified from the two-dimensional code. For this reason, even if the player is used for the second time or later, that is, a player whose terminal identification information is already registered in the player database, the game history storage function is used without receiving a password. After that, only by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the game end operation, the game history during that time can be registered and accumulated in the management server 1200.

  In the first embodiment described above, the management server 1200 includes a temporary registration database, whereas the management server 1200 according to the present embodiment does not include a temporary registration database.

  Next, the operations of the management server 1200 and the slot machine 1 when the player inputs “easy start” and plays a game in the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 32, when “simple start” is selected in the slot machine 1, the game history is initialized and the normal effect mode is shifted to the specific effect mode.

  When the player ends the game and selects “Create 2-D Code” from the main menu screen, the game random number and the current date and time are obtained from the random numbers updated within a certain range, and the acquired game random number and the current date and time are displayed. The date and time information shown, the total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the type of mission accomplished are acquired from these data and the URL indicating the location of the update page. The dimension code is generated and displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the personal history storage area is initialized, and the specific effect mode is shifted to the normal effect mode.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the portable terminal 1100 and sends a registration request including the game random number, date / time information, game history, and terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 analyzed from the two-dimensional code to the management server 1200. As a result, the player who has played the game for the first time can register the terminal identification information and the game history in the player database of the management server 1200, and the second and subsequent significant persons can perform “simple start”. When a game is input and played, the game history can be reflected in the player database.

  When a registration request is made from the mobile terminal 1100, the management server 1200 determines whether or not a certain period (two days in this embodiment) has elapsed from the date and time of generation of the two-dimensional code from the date and time information specified from the registration request. If it is determined and a certain period has elapsed, the mobile terminal is notified that registration is impossible.

  If a certain period has not elapsed since the generation date and time of the two-dimensional code, it is determined whether or not the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that made the registration request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database. If the terminal identification information matches, the game history and game random number specified from the registration request and the game history and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the registration request And, in the case of not matching, update the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database based on the game history specified from the registration request, The date / time information (game date / time), the game history and the game random number specified from the registration request in association with the terminal identification information are registered in the game history database, and the corresponding terminal identifier is registered. It updates the status information while waiting, and notifies the registration completion to the portable terminal 1100 of performing a registration request.

  Note that the game history specified from the registration request is only the total number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the types of missions completed, and other items are not updated in the registration request.

  On the other hand, when the game history and game random number specified from the registration request match the game history and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the registration request, Since there is a very high possibility that the registration request is the same as the two-dimensional code used for the previous registration request, the mobile terminal is notified that the registration is impossible.

  In addition, for terminal identification information that has already been registered, the number of registration requests, that is, the number of times of playing a game without receiving a password is counted. If it is 5 times or more, a password recommendation guide for recommending that a game is issued upon receipt of a password is notified to the portable terminal.

  In the recommended password guidance, by playing a game after receiving a password, you can take over the level, story stage, production settings, etc. Therefore, the content prompting the user to receive a password is provided.

  In addition, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the registration request does not match the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the game random number and date / time information (game) registered in the game history database It is determined whether or not the combination of the game random number and the date and time information (game date and time) specified from the registration request matches the combination of the game random number and the date and time information (game date and time). Is highly likely to be a registration request using the same two-dimensional code used for the previous registration request, and therefore notifies the mobile terminal that the registration is impossible.

  If the combination of the game random number and date / time information (game date / time) does not match, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the registration request is newly registered in the player database, and the terminal identification information Correspondingly, the game history specified from the registration request at the end is registered in the player database, and the completion of the main registration is notified to the portable terminal that has made the registration request at the end.

  In addition, when the combination of the random number at game time and the date / time information (game date / time) does not match, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has requested registration is newly registered in the player database, and at the same time, the game history database In addition, the game random number specified from the registration request, date and time information (game date and time), and the game history specified from the registration request are registered in association with each other.

  As described above, in the gaming system of the present embodiment, it is possible to perform a game just by inputting a “simple start” in the slot machine 1 and entering a password without entering a password. Become. Then, at the end of the game, a two-dimensional code that can specify the game history from the input of “easy start” to the end, the game random number acquired at the end, and date information (game date) is displayed. The player makes a registration request to the management server 1200 based on the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, so that the management server 1200 side plays game random numbers and date / time information (game) The combination of the game random number and the date information (game date) registered in the game history database of the management server 1200 does not match the game history specified from the registration request, that is, The terminal identification information and game history of the player can be newly registered in the player database of the management server 1200, and the game history can be taken over upon receipt of a password from the next time. Therefore, a player who uses the game history storage function for the first time does not need to access the management server 1200 in advance to register as a member before playing a game. The storage function can be used, and thereafter, the game history during that time is registered and stored in the player database of the management server 1200 simply by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the game end operation. It becomes possible.

  Further, in this embodiment, even a player who plays a game for the second time or later can start a game by simply inputting “easy start” without receiving a password. In this case as well as the first player, at the end of the game, it is possible to specify the game history from the input of "Easy Start" to the end, the game random number obtained at the end, and date information (game date and time) A two-dimensional code is displayed. By making a registration request to the management server 1200 based on the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, on the management server 1200 side, first, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that transmitted the game history is the management server 1200. Whether the game history corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information is updated to the game history specified from the registration request; Become. For this reason, even if the player is used for the second time or later, that is, a player whose terminal identification information is already registered in the player database, the game history storage function is used without receiving a password. After that, only by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the game end operation, the game history during that time can be registered and accumulated in the management server 1200.

  Further, in this embodiment, both the player whose terminal identification information is not registered in the player database and the player whose terminal identification information is already registered input “easy start”. Thus, it is possible to start the game, so there is no need to change the start operation one by one depending on whether it is the first time. In addition, the processing at the start and end of the game in the slot machine can be made common, and also in the management server 1200, when a player whose terminal identification information is not registered in the player database makes a registration request, The processing can be made common when a player whose identification information has already been registered makes a registration request.

  If the combination of the random number at the end and the date / time information do not match and a new game history is registered, the combination of the game random number and date / time information (game date / time) included in the registration request is registered in the game history database. Therefore, the combination of the game random number and date / time information (game date / time) generated for one player can be prevented from being diverted by other players, and the diversion by other players can also be prevented. In doing so, the management server 1200 only needs to determine whether or not a combination of a game random number and date / time information (game date / time) is registered, so the load on the management server 1200 can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, the management server 1200 counts the number of times that a registration request has been made for terminal identification information that has already been registered, that is, the number of times that a game has been played without receiving a password. It is determined whether or not the number of times is equal to or greater than a certain number. If the number is greater than or equal to a certain number, a password recommendation guide is provided to the mobile terminal in such a manner that it is recommended to play a game upon receiving a password. In this password recommendation guide, you can take over the level, story stage, production settings, etc. by playing the game with the password issued, and the production that will not be performed if you do not receive the password issued by raising the level The game history will be reflected in the production by using the password for players who are playing without receiving the password. It is possible to effectively promote the use of functions that can be performed.

  In this embodiment, the password recommendation guidance is notified when the number of registration requests made exceeds a certain number, but it may be notified at another timing. In the present embodiment, as described above, there are provided effects that are executed on condition that the number of accumulated games or the number of accumulated bonuses is equal to or greater than a certain number. Missions that are achieved by performing an effect that does not appear unless the number of bonuses is equal to or greater than a certain number, that is, missions that cannot be achieved unless the number of accumulated games or the number of bonuses is greater than or equal to a certain number. For this reason, at the timing when the cumulative number of games and the cumulative number of bonuses, etc., in the game history of the player who made the simple update request become a certain number of times or more, that is, when the game history meets the appearance condition of the production. Password recommendation guidance may be provided, and even in such a configuration, the game history is reflected in the production by using the password for the player who is playing the game without receiving the password issuance It is possible to effectively encourage the use of functions that are possible. In addition, when password recommended guidance is performed at a timing when the game history satisfies the appearance condition of the effect, the game history satisfies the appearance condition of the effect, so that a new effect can be executed. It is preferable to notify that the mission can be achieved and that there is a possibility that a privilege will be newly granted. By doing so, it is possible to reflect the game history in the production by using the password. It is possible to promote the use of functions more effectively.

  As described above, the second embodiment of the present invention has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to the second embodiment, and changes and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. Needless to say. Further, the same or similar configuration as the first embodiment has the same effect as that described in the first embodiment. Further, the modified example illustrated for the first embodiment is also applicable to the second embodiment.

  In the second embodiment, when a game is ended after a game is played by “easy start”, game random number and date / time information (game date / time) extracted from random numbers that fluctuate within a certain range as information that can identify the game. ), But any data can be used as long as the management server 1200 can identify the game at the end of the game. For example, either the game random number or the date / time information may be used, or “easy start” is input. Data that changes regularly, such as a number to be added, may be applied each time it is added. Moreover, you may apply combining these data.

  In the second embodiment, the main menu screen is displayed and the game is started using the game history storage function by inputting “easy start”. However, as in the first embodiment, It is also possible to start the game using the game history storage function only by performing one of the switches once. In this way, even if the player has started the game immediately, The function to accumulate can be used easily.

  Conventionally, the result of a game played by a player in a gaming machine is converted into a two-dimensional code and output, and the output two-dimensional code is read by a mobile phone or the like and transmitted to a server that manages a game history. There has been proposed a server in which a game history can be stored for each player on the server side that has received the history (see, for example, JP 2009-195328 A).

  The conventional method is a configuration in which when a player finishes a game, the game history from the start to the end of the game is two-dimensionally encoded, read with a mobile phone or the like, and transmitted to the server. Since the game history from the start to the end of the game is enormous and the amount of data that can be two-dimensionally encoded is also limited, the game history that can be reflected in the game history on the server side is also limited. there were.

On the other hand, the gaming machine of configuration 1, which is the gaming machine described in the first and second embodiments, is
A gaming machine (slot machine 1) capable of performing a predetermined game,
When a predetermined end operation (input of “today's game data”) is performed by the player after a predetermined start operation (input of password) by the player is performed, the predetermined start operation (password input) The first game history (mission achievement rate, number of games, game results) that is a result of a player playing a game during the period from when the game is performed until the predetermined end operation (input of “game data for today”) is performed. First game history information generating means for generating first game history information (display of a two-dimensional code that can specify game history) that can specify a BB count, an RB count, etc .;
First game history information output means for outputting the first game history information generated by the first game history information generation means (display of a two-dimensional code capable of specifying a game history);
Advantageous gaming state control means for controlling the advantageous gaming state (bonus) which is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state;

  First, an overall configuration of a pachinko gaming machine 700 that is an example of a gaming machine will be described. 44 (a) is a front view of the pachinko gaming machine 700, and FIG. 44 (b) is a top view of an operation unit 7111 provided on the top surface of a hitting ball supply tray (upper plate) 703 described later. FIG. 45 is a diagram for explaining the characteristics of the hit type control including the big hit and the small hit in the form of a table.

  The pachinko gaming machine 700 includes an outer frame (not shown) formed in a vertically long rectangular shape, and a game frame attached to the inside of the outer frame so as to be opened and closed. In addition, the pachinko gaming machine 700 includes a glass door frame 702 formed in a frame shape that can be opened and closed in the game frame. The game frame includes a front frame (not shown) installed to be openable and closable with respect to the outer frame, a mechanism plate (not shown) to which mechanism parts and the like are attached, and various parts (games to be described later) attached to them. And the board 706).

  A hitting ball supply tray (upper plate) 703 is provided on the lower surface of the glass door frame 702. An operation unit 7111 that can be operated by the player is provided on the upper surface of the hit ball supply tray 703. As shown in FIG. 44 (b), the operation unit 7111 is provided with effect switches 7111a to 7111c, and these effect switches 111a to 111c are used in the variable display of effect symbols (decorative symbols). It is operated when a specific performance is executed, or when a password is input or a menu item is selected to display a two-dimensional code as described in the first embodiment. It is. As described in the first embodiment, the menu screen of the first embodiment is used in the case where the password is input or the menu item is selected on the menu screen to display a two-dimensional code. The operation of the effect switch 56 at the time of display corresponds to the operation of the effect switch 7111a, the operation of the stop switch 8L corresponds to the operation of the effect switch 7111b, and the operation of the stop switch 8R corresponds to the operation of the effect switch 7111c. To do.

  Under the hitting ball supply tray 703, there are an extra ball receiving tray 704 for storing game balls as game media that cannot be accommodated in the hitting ball supply tray 703, and a hitting operation handle (operation knob) 705 for emitting hitting balls (game balls). Is provided. A game board 706 (see FIG. 3) is detachably attached to the back surface of the glass door frame 702. Note that the game board 706 is a structure including a plate-like body constituting the game board and various components attached to the plate-like body. In addition, a game area 707 is formed on the front surface of the game board 706 in which a game ball that has been struck can flow down. A large number of nails for guiding a game ball are implanted in the game area 707.

  In the vicinity of the center of the game area 707, an effect display device 709 composed of a liquid crystal display device (LCD) is provided. In the effect display device 709, a change display (also referred to as a variable display, an update display, or a cyclic display) of the effect symbols (decorative symbols) synchronized with the change display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is performed. The variation display of the effect symbol is executed in various variations such as scroll display and on-site switching display. The effect display device 709 corresponds to a variable display device that performs variable display of effect symbols (decorative symbols) as a plurality of types of identification information that can identify each. In the effect display device 709, an effect symbol display area for displaying an effect symbol on the display screen is provided. For example, three (plural) of “left”, “middle”, and “right” are displayed in the effect symbol display area. There is a symbol display area as a display area for variably displaying the effect symbols. Each of these three effect symbols is an effect symbol as a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified. The effect display device 709 is controlled by an effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board. When the variation control of the first special symbol is executed by the first special symbol display unit 708a, the effect control microcomputer causes the effect display device 709 to execute the effect display along with the variation display, and the second special symbol display unit 708a executes the second special display. When the variation display of the second special symbol is executed on the symbol display 708b, the effect display is executed by the effect display device along with the variation display, so that it is possible to easily grasp the progress of the game.

  On the left side of the upper portion of the effect display device 709 in the game board 706, there is a first special symbol display (first variation display means) 708a that variably displays the first special symbols as a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified. Is provided. In this embodiment, the first special symbol display 708a is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of displaying the numbers 0 to 9 in a variable manner. In other words, the first special symbol display 708a is configured to variably display numbers (or symbols) from 0 to 9. On the right side of the upper portion of the effect display device 709 in the game board 706, there is a second special symbol display (second variation display means) 708b that variably displays a second special symbol as a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified. Is provided. The second special symbol display 708b is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) that can display numbers 0 to 9 in a variable manner. In other words, the second special symbol display 708b is configured to variably display numbers (or symbols) from 0 to 9.

  In this embodiment, the type of the first special symbol and the type of the second special symbol are the same (for example, both 0 to 9), but the types may be different. Further, the first special symbol display unit 708a and the second special symbol display unit 708b may be configured to variably display numbers (or two-digit symbols) of, for example, 00 to 99.

  Hereinafter, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be collectively referred to as a special symbol, and the first special symbol indicator 708a and the second special symbol indicator 708b may be collectively referred to as a special symbol indicator. The first special symbol is subjected to the variable display on the condition that the second special symbol display unit 708b does not execute the variable display of the second special symbol. For the second special symbol, the variable display is executed on the condition that the first special symbol display unit 708a does not execute the variable display of the first special symbol. That is, either the first special symbol or the second special symbol is variably displayed without being variably displayed at the same time.

  For the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the first start condition or the second start condition, which is the execution condition of the variation display, is satisfied (for example, the game ball has the first start winning port 713 or the second start winning port) 714), the display condition of the variable display (for example, when the number of reserved memories is not 0 and the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is not executed) The game is started based on the fact that the big hit game is not executed), and when the variable display time (variable time) elapses, the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. Note that winning means that a game ball has passed through a predetermined area as a winning area such as a prize opening (a game ball has entered). Deriving and displaying the display result is to finally stop and display a symbol (an example of identification information).

  In the following description, the fact that the game ball has won the first start prize opening 713 may be referred to as a first start prize, and the fact that the game ball has won the second start prize opening 714 will be referred to as a second start prize. There is a case. The data related to the variable display in which the start condition is satisfied but the start condition is not satisfied is held and stored as reserved storage data that is a right to perform variable display of the special symbol until the start condition is satisfied. Specifically, the on-hold storage data is stored in a predetermined area of a RAM 755 of a game control microcomputer 7560 described later. On-hold storage data for the first start winning is stored in the first on-hold storage buffer as first on-hold storage data with a predetermined number (for example, 4) as an upper limit, and on-hold storage data for the second start winning is stored in a predetermined number (for example, 4). Is stored in the second reserved storage buffer as second reserved storage data.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 700, a ball striking device for driving a driving motor in response to a player operating a ball striking operation handle 705 and launching a game ball to the game area 707 using the rotational force of the driving motor (see FIG. Not shown). A game ball launched from the ball striking device enters the game area 707 through a ball striking rail formed in a circular shape so as to surround the game area 707, and then descends the game area 707. When the game ball enters the first start winning port 713 and is detected by the first start port switch 713a, if the variation display of the first special symbol can be started (for example, the variation display of the special symbol ends, 1), the first special symbol display unit 708a starts the variation display (variation) of the first special symbol, and the effect display device 709 starts the variation display of the effect symbol (decoration symbol). Is done. That is, the variable display of the first special symbol and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the first start winning opening 713. If the variable display of the first special symbol cannot be started, the first reserved memory number is increased by 1 on condition that the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

  When the game ball enters the second start winning port 714 and is detected by the second start port switch 714a, if the variation display of the second special symbol can be started (for example, the variation display of the special symbol ends, 2), the second special symbol display unit 708b starts the variation display (variation) of the second special symbol, and the effect display device 709 starts the variation display of the effect symbol (decoration symbol). Is done. That is, the change display of the second special symbol and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the second start winning opening 714. If the variable display of the second special symbol cannot be started, the second reserved memory number is increased by 1 on condition that the second reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

  The effect display device 709 is used for decoration (effect) during the variable display time of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 708a and during the variable display time of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 708b. The effect design (decoration design) is displayed as a variation design. The change display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 708a and the change display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 709 are synchronized. Further, the variation display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 708b and the variation display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 709 are synchronized. Synchronous means that the start point and end point of the variable display are substantially the same (may be exactly the same) and the period of the variable display is substantially the same (may be exactly the same). In addition, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 708a and when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display 708b, the effect display device 709 causes the jackpot to be recalled. The combination of is stopped and displayed. The first special symbol display device 708a, the second special symbol display device 708b, and the effect display device 709 described above are variable display devices that display the variation of the identification information and derive and display the display result, and are used as a variation display unit. It is done.

  In the effect display device 709, when the variable display is started, for example, all of the left, middle, and right effect symbols start the variable display. Then, the left, middle, and right effect symbols that are variably displayed basically stop in a predetermined order (for example, a predetermined order such as the order of the left effect symbol, the right effect symbol, and the middle effect symbol). When a predetermined variation time has elapsed from the start of variation display, all the left, middle and right effect symbols are stopped and the display result is confirmed. The order in which the left, middle, and right effect symbols stop may be other than the order of the left, right, and center symbols. Further, the left, middle, and right performance symbols may be stopped simultaneously.

  A winning device having a first start winning port 713 is provided below the effect display device 709. The game ball that has won the first start winning opening 713 is guided to the back of the game board 706 and detected by the first start opening switch 713a.

  A variable winning ball device (electric tulip) having a second starting winning port 714 (second starting port) through which a game ball can win is located below a winning device having a first starting winning port (first starting port) 713. ) 715 is provided. The game ball that has won the second start winning opening 714 is guided to the back of the game board 706 and detected by the second start opening switch 714a. The variable winning ball device 715 is opened by a solenoid 716. When the variable winning ball device 715 is in the open state, the game ball can be awarded to the second start winning port 714 (it is easy to start winning), which is advantageous for the player. In a state where the variable winning ball device 715 is in the open state, it is easier for the game ball to win the second starting winning port 714 than the first starting winning port 713. In addition, in a state where the variable winning ball device 715 is in the closed state, the game ball does not win the second start winning port 714. In the state where the variable winning ball device 715 is in the closed state, it may be configured so that it is difficult to win, but it is possible to win (that is, the game ball is difficult to win). As described above, the state where the variable winning ball device 715 is in the closed state may be a state where the game ball is difficult to win or does not win the second start winning port 714.

  Hereinafter, the first start winning port 713 and the second start winning port 714 may be collectively referred to as a start winning port or a starting port.

  When the variable winning ball device 715 is controlled to be in the open state, the game ball heading toward the variable winning ball device 715 is very likely to win the second start winning port 714. The first start winning opening 713 is provided directly below the effect display device 709, but the interval between the lower end of the effect display device 709 and the first start winning opening 713 is further reduced, or the first start winning opening is set. The winning percentage of the second starting prize opening 714 is such that the nails are densely arranged around the area 713 and the arrangement of the nails around the first starting prize opening 713 is difficult to guide the game balls to the first starting prize opening 713. You may make it make higher than the winning rate of the 1st start winning opening 713.

  Below the first special symbol display 708a, the number of effective winning balls that have entered the first start winning opening 713, that is, the first reserved memory number (the reserved memory is also referred to as the start memory or the start winning memory) 4 is displayed. There is provided a first special symbol storage memory display 718a (not shown) consisting of two indicators (for example, LEDs). The first special symbol storage memory indicator 718a increases the number of indicators to be lit by 1 each time there is an effective start winning. Then, each time the variable display on the first special symbol display 708a is started, the number of indicators to be turned on is reduced by one.

  Below the second special symbol display 708b is a second special symbol hold comprising four indicators (for example, LEDs) for displaying the number of effective winning balls that have entered the second start winning opening 714, that is, the second reserved memory number. A storage indicator 718b (not shown) is provided. The second special symbol storage memory display 718b increases the number of indicators to be turned on by 1 every time there is an effective start winning. Then, each time the variable display on the second special symbol display 708b is started, the number of indicators to be turned on is reduced by one.

  Further, the display screen of the effect display device 709 is provided with a first reserved memory display unit 718c that displays the first reserved memory number and a second reserved memory display unit 718d that displays the second reserved memory number. (Each display area is provided). In addition, you may make it provide the area | region (sum total pending | holding memory display part) which displays the total number (total number of total pending memory) which is the sum of the 1st pending memory number and the 2nd pending memory number. As described above, if the summation pending storage display unit for displaying the total number is provided, it is possible to easily grasp the total number of execution conditions that have not met the variable display start condition.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 44A, a variable winning ball device 715 that opens and closes only with respect to the second starting winning opening 714 is provided, but the first starting winning opening 713 and Any of the second start winning ports 714 may be provided with a variable winning ball device that performs an opening / closing operation.

  A reach state may occur during the effect symbol display on the effect display device 709. Here, in the reach state, when the effect symbols that are stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 709 constitute a part of the combination of jackpot symbols, the variation of the effect symbols that are not yet stopped and displayed continues. Or a display state in which all or a part of the effect symbols fluctuate synchronously while constituting all or part of a combination of jackpot symbols. In other words, reach means a state in which identification information constitutes a specific display result in a plurality of variable display areas, but at least some of the variable area areas are in variable display. In this embodiment, the reach state is formed, for example, in a state where the same symbol is stopped in the left and right symbol display areas and the symbol is not stopped in the middle symbol display area. The symbols stopped in the left and right symbol display areas when the reach state is formed are called reach formation symbols or reach symbols.

  The display effect in the reach state is reach effect display (reach effect). In addition, during the reach, an unusual effect may be performed with a lamp or sound. This production is called reach production. Further, in the case of reach, a character (an effect display imitating a person or the like, which is different from a design (effect design, etc.)) or a display mode (for example, a color, etc.) of the background image of the effect display device 709 is displayed. ) May change. This change in character display and background display mode is called reach effect display. In addition, some reach is set such that when it appears, a big hit is more likely to occur than a normal reach (normal reach), and there is a high degree of reliability for the big hit. Such special (specific) reach is called super reach.

  As shown in FIG. 44A, a special variable winning ball device 720 is provided below the variable winning ball device 715. The special variable winning ball apparatus 720 includes an opening / closing plate, and can be changed into an open state (first state) in which a game ball can be won and a closed state (second state) in which the game ball does not win. Device. The special variable winning ball device 720 may be configured so that it is difficult to win in the closed state, but it is possible to win (that is, it is difficult for the game ball to win). Thus, the state in which the special variable winning ball device 720 is in the closed state may be a state in which the game ball is difficult to win or does not win the special variable winning ball device 720.

  The special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is a solenoid in a specific game state (a big hit game state) that occurs when a specific display result (a big hit symbol) is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display unit 708a or the second special symbol display unit 708b. When the opening / closing plate is controlled to be in the open state by 721, the large winning opening serving as the winning area is opened. A game ball that has won a big winning opening is detected by a count switch 723.

  In the big hit gaming state, repeated continuous control is performed in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 repeats an open state and a closed state. In the repeated continuation control, a state where the special variable winning ball device 720 is opened is called a round. In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of jackpots are provided, and when it is determined that a jackpot is to be made, one of the jackpot types is selected. In this embodiment, the control example in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is opened only once in one round is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the special variable winning ball is multiple times such as twice in one round. You may make it perform the control which makes the apparatus 720 an open state.

  A normal symbol display 710 (not shown) is provided below the effect display device 709. The normal symbol display 710 variably displays a plurality of types of identification information (for example, “◯” and “×”) called normal symbols.

  When the game ball passes through the gate 732 and is detected by the gate switch 732a, the display variation display of the normal symbol display 710 is started. In this embodiment, left and right lamps (designs can be visually recognized when lit) are alternately lit to perform variable display. For example, if the left lamp is lit at the end of variable display, it is a win. When the stop symbol on the normal symbol display 710 is a predetermined symbol (winning symbol “◯”), the variable winning ball apparatus 715 is opened for a predetermined number of times. That is, the state of the variable winning ball device 715 is a state that is advantageous from a disadvantageous state for the player when the stop symbol of the normal symbol is a winning symbol (a state in which a game ball can be awarded at the second start winning port 714). To change.

  In the vicinity of the normal symbol display 710, there is provided a normal symbol holding storage display 741 (not shown) having four indicators (for example, LEDs) for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 732. Every time there is a game ball passing through the gate 732, that is, every time a game ball is detected by the gate switch 732a, the normal symbol hold storage display 741 increases the number of indicators to be turned on by one. Then, each time the variable symbol display on the normal symbol indicator 710 is started, the number of indicators that are lit is reduced by one. There are four upper limit values for the number of ordinary symbols stored, and the normal symbol storage memory display 741 lights the display with these four as upper limits.

  Decorative LEDs 725 flashing and displayed during the game are provided around the left and right sides of the game area 707 of the game board 706, and an outlet 726 into which a hit ball that has not been won is taken in at the bottom. In addition, two speakers 727R and 727L that utter sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 707. A top frame LED 728a, a left frame LED 728b, and a right frame LED 728c provided on the front frame are provided on the outer periphery upper portion, the outer periphery left portion, and the outer periphery right portion of the game area 707. For example, the top frame LED 728a, the left frame LED 728b, and the right frame LED 728c are related displays in the pseudo-continuous rendering as the repetitive variation pattern (each re-variation period (including the initial variation period) in one variation period). When an effect such that the effect is executed) is executed, blinking control is performed.

  The repeated variation pattern is a variation pattern in which a specific effect display is repeatedly executed a predetermined number of times after a special symbol and an effect symbol change display is started and a display result is derived and displayed, and then a reach effect is executed. . Here, the specific effect display is, for example, an effect display such as a re-change effect display, and if it is an effect display that can be repeatedly executed a predetermined number of times, for example, an effect display other than the re-change display such as a notice display. May be. In this embodiment, as an example of a repeated variation pattern, an example will be described in which a variation pattern of a pseudo series that can be repeatedly executed a predetermined number of times with re-variation as a specific effect display.

  Here, the pseudo-ream is an effect display that makes it appear that a plurality of fluctuations corresponding to a plurality of reserved memories are continuously performed although it is a single fluctuation corresponding to one reserved memory. Abbreviation for pseudo-continuous variation.

  In addition, the pseudo-ream is within the variation time determined with respect to one start winning prize in order to make it appear as if multiple symbols of variable display (variable display) have been executed for one starting winning prize. In this case, a special variation pattern (also referred to as a variation display pattern) in which temporary stop and re-variation are executed a predetermined number of times for all the symbol strings (left, middle, right). For example, the greater the number of re-variation repeated executions (also referred to as quasi-continuous re-variation times), the greater the reliability that will be the big hit (when the big hit is made for all the selection ratios, including when the big hit is lost The degree of the ratio selected in the above, the ratio of the jackpot, that is, the reliability of the jackpot) is increased. More specifically, the ratio selected when it is determined that the jackpot is high. In the pseudo-continuous variation pattern, a combination of symbols temporarily stopped in the effect display device 709 is called a temporary stop symbol combination. The combination of temporary stop symbols is determined as one of the pseudo consecutive chances among a plurality of types of chances (hereinafter referred to as pseudo continuous chances) composed of combinations of symbols other than the jackpot symbol combination. Further, when the pseudo continuous fluctuation is executed, some reach effect may be executed in the reach state.

  Also, a prize ball LED 751 that is turned on when there is a remaining number of prize balls is provided in the vicinity of the left frame LED 728b, and a ball cut LED 752 that is turned on when the supply ball is cut is provided in the vicinity of the right frame LED 728c. . The top frame LED 728a, the left frame LED 728b, the right frame LED 728c, and the decoration LED 725 are an example of a light emitter for performance provided in the pachinko gaming machine 700. In addition to the above-mentioned various LEDs for effects (decorations), LEDs and lamps for effects are installed.

  In addition, a prepaid card unit (hereinafter also simply referred to as “card unit”) that enables lending a ball by inserting a prepaid card is installed adjacent to the pachinko gaming machine 700 (not shown).

  In FIG. 45, (A) shows a hit type table showing the characteristics of hit type control including big hits and small hits, and (B) shows the base and fluctuation time states after the end of the big hit game state of sudden big hits. Shown is an abrupt big hit base / fluctuation time state selection table used to determine.

  In the hit type table of FIG. 45, for each hit type in the big hit and the small hit, the big hit probability after the end of the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state, the base after the end of the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state, the big hit The variation time after the end of the gaming state or the small hit gaming state, the number of times of opening in the big hit (number of rounds), and the opening time of each round are shown. As shown in FIG. 45, as the jackpot gaming state with different numbers of rounds, there are provided a plurality of types of jackpot gaming states of 15 rounds of jackpot gaming state and 2 rounds of jackpot gaming state. In the small hit, a small hit game state with the same number of times of opening and open time as in the two round big hit game state.

  Specifically, in the 15-round big hit gaming state, after the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is opened, a predetermined opening condition end condition (a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) has elapsed in the opened state). Alternatively, the closed state is established in response to the establishment of a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls that have been generated. When the opening end condition is satisfied, a continuation right is generated and the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is opened again. The generation of the continuation right is repeated until the number of releases in the big hit gaming state reaches 15 rounds (final round), which is a predetermined upper limit value.

  Also, in the two-round big hit game state, after the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is in the open state, a predetermined open state end condition (a predetermined period (for example, 0.5 seconds) has elapsed in the open state) Alternatively, the closed state is established in response to the establishment of a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls that have been generated. When the opening end condition is satisfied, a continuation right is generated and the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is opened again. The generation of the continuation right is repeated until the number of times of opening in the big hit gaming state reaches two rounds (final round) at which a predetermined upper limit value is reached.

  In this way, the big win of 2 rounds is allowed up to the number of times of opening the grand prize opening less than 15 rounds (2 times in this embodiment), but the opening time of the big prize opening is short (for example, 0. 0. It is a big hit type (type) for 5 seconds. In the case of the present embodiment, as a big hit of two rounds, the opening time of the grand prize opening is extremely short (0.5 seconds), and a prize ball (a prize ball paid out for the prize) is obtained. There is no hit.

  In addition, as a big hit of two rounds, it is possible to provide only a hit where a prize ball cannot be obtained, or only a hit where a prize ball can be obtained. Both a win and a win from which a prize ball can be obtained may be provided.

  Among the “big hits”, after being controlled to the big hit game state of 15 rounds or 2 rounds, the probability that the special game state is determined to be a big hit compared to the normal state (the normal game state which is not the probability change state) A type of jackpot (type) that shifts to a high probability state (an abbreviation of a probability variation state, also referred to as a high probability state) is called “probability big hit”. In the present embodiment, the special gaming state may be controlled to a time-short state in which the variation time (variation display period) of the special symbol or the production symbol is shortened from the non-time-short state in association with the probability variation state. is there. Note that the special game state may be controlled to the short time state independently of the probability variation state.

  In this way, the transition time to the short-time state reduces the variation time of the special symbol and the production symbol, so when the short-time state is reached, it is easy for an effective start prize to occur and the possibility of a big hit game being played. Rise.

  Of the “big hit”, the type (type) of big hit that does not shift to the probability change state after being controlled to the big hit gaming state of 15 rounds or 2 rounds is called “normal big hit”. In this embodiment, an example in which a normal big hit is provided for a big hit of 15 rounds is shown. Moreover, you may provide "normal jackpot" about either one or both of the big hit of 15 rounds, the big hit of 2 rounds. In addition, it is not always necessary to provide a big hit for both the 15 round big hit and the 2 round big hit.

  In addition, as a special gaming state, an electric chew support that facilitates (higher frequency) winning in the variable winning ball device 715 by increasing the frequency with which the variable winning ball device 715 is opened in association with the probability changing state. It may be controlled to the control state. Note that the special game state may be controlled to the electric chew support control state independently of the probability change state.

  Here, electric Chu support control will be described. As electric support control, normal symbol variation time (time from the start of variation display to display result derivation display time) is shortened and the display result is derived and displayed at an early stage (normal symbol shortening control), normal symbol Control to increase the probability that the stop symbol of the game will be a winning symbol (normal symbol probability control), control to increase the opening time of the variable winning ball device 715 (opening time extension control), and increase the number of opening of the variable winning ball device 715 Control (opening frequency increase control) is performed. When such control is performed, the time ratio during which the variable winning ball device 715 is open is higher than when the control is not performed, so the winning frequency to the second start winning port 714 is increased. As a result, the game ball becomes easier to start and win (the execution conditions for the variable display in the special symbol displays 708a and 708b and the effect display device 709 are more easily established). In addition, by increasing the winning frequency to the second starting winning port 714 by such control, a gaming state is achieved in which the frequency of establishment of the second starting condition and / or the frequency of execution of the variable display of the second special symbol is increased.

  The state (high frequency state) in which the winning frequency to the second start winning opening 714 is increased by such electric Chu support control is the number of game balls to be paid out as a winning ball according to the winning with respect to the number of shot balls. Since the ratio “base” is higher than when the control is not performed, it is called a “high base state”. Also, when such control is not performed, it is called a “low base state”. Such control is control for facilitating winning to the variable winning ball apparatus 715 by supporting the winning with the variable winning ball apparatus 715, that is, the electric tulip, and is referred to as “electric chew support control”.

  Furthermore, as the electric chew support control, by shifting to a state in which any one of the normal symbol shortening control state, the normal symbol probability changing control state, the open time extension control state, and the open number increase control state are combined, You may make it transfer to a high base state. In addition, as the electric chew support control, by shifting to any one of the normal symbol shortening control state, the normal symbol probability changing control state, the opening time extension control state, and the opening frequency increasing control state, You may make it transfer to a state. As described above, as the electric chew support control, any one of the normal symbol shortening control state, the normal symbol probability changing control state, the opening time extension control state, and the opening number increasing control state, any one of a plurality (all of them) Any control may be performed as long as the control is performed in a combined state or a combined state.

  In the present embodiment, the special gaming state may be controlled to the time reduction state and the electric chew support control state accompanying the probability changing state. Note that the special game state may be controlled to the short time state and the electric chew support control state independently of the probability change state. In addition, as a relationship between the short time state and the electric chew support control state in the special game state, the electric chew support control state may be controlled in association with the short time state, and the electric chew support is independently performed in the short time state. It may be controlled to the control state.

  In the case of this embodiment, after the big hit gaming state is finished, the special gaming state is controlled to the electric chew support control state when controlled to the probability changing state, and the electric tuner is controlled to be controlled to the probability changing state. There is a case where it is not controlled to the support control state. Note that, after the big hit gaming state is finished, when the normal state is entered instead of being controlled to the probability variation state, the control may be controlled to the electric chew support control state in which the period is limited by the number of variable displays.

  In this embodiment, as terms indicating the state of the jackpot probability, "high probability state (probability variation state)" and "low probability state (non-probability variation state)", as a term indicating the combination of the base state, The “high base state (electric Chu support control state)” and “low base state (non-electric Chu support control state)” are used.

  Further, in this embodiment, “low accuracy low base state”, “high accuracy low base state”, and “high accuracy high base state” are used as terms indicating a combination of a big hit probability state and a base state. . The “low probability low base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the low probability state and the base state is the low base state. The “highly accurate low base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the high probability state and the base state is the low base state. The “high probability high base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the high probability state and the base state is the high base state. In addition, as in the case of the above-mentioned normal jackpot, when the jackpot probability state becomes a low probability state after the jackpot game state ends, for example, when performing electric Chu support control, the jackpot probability state is a low probability state, and The base state is the “low-accuracy and high-base state”, which is a state indicating that the base state is the high-base state.

  As shown in FIG. 45, as the big hit of 15 rounds, a plurality of types of big hits, a normal big hit and a probable big hit, are provided. In addition, as a big hit of the two rounds, an abrupt big hit is provided.

  The normal jackpot is a jackpot that is controlled to a non-probability changing state, a time reduction state, and an electric chew support control state (low-accuracy high-base state) after the end of the 15-round jackpot gaming state. The probability variation jackpot is a jackpot in which control is performed to shift to the probability variation state, the short time state, and the electric chew support control state (high probability high base state) after the end of 15 rounds of the jackpot gaming state. In the probability variation big hit, the probability variation state, the time reduction state, and the electric Chu support control state continue for a period until the condition that the next big hit occurs is satisfied.

  In the normal big hit, the period until the shorter condition is satisfied, which is the condition that the time reduction state is executed a predetermined number of times of 100 times of the variable display or the condition that the next big hit occurs. continue. The number of times of variable display in which the time reduction state continues is also referred to as the time reduction number.

  The sudden hit big hit is a big hit in which, after the end of the two round big hit gaming state, control is performed to shift to a probability changing state, a non-time-saving state, and a non-electric Chu support control state (highly accurate low base state). In the sudden big hit, the probability variation state continues for a period until the condition that the next big hit occurs is satisfied.

  In the big hit, the number of rounds is small (twice) and the opening of the big prize opening is very short (open for 0.5 seconds). When notifying that it has become, it is possible to make it appear to the player as if it has suddenly changed into a certain probability change state, which is called “sudden probability change big hit”. “Suddenly probable big hit” may be referred to by the abbreviation “surprise big hit” or “surprise”. In this embodiment, the probabilistic big hit of two rounds is called “surprise big hit”. Such a big hit is a hit where no winning ball is practically obtained since the half-second opening is performed only twice in the big hit gaming state.

  The small hit is a hit (advantageous state) in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is opened with the same number of times and opening time as the sudden big hit in the gaming state (small hit gaming state) when the small hit is reached. When a small hit is made, after the small hit gaming state, both the big hit probability and the base state are not changed from those before the start of the small hit gaming state. As described above, the small hit is a hit in which a gaming state such as a big hit probability and a base state is maintained after the small hit gaming state is finished and before the start of the small hit gaming state. In this embodiment, the small hit is an example in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is opened with the same number of times of opening and the same opening time as in the big hit gaming state in the small hit gaming state, but this is not limitative. As for the small hit, the opening mode of the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 does not completely coincide with the opening mode at the time of the big hit, but it seems to be difficult to distinguish from the opening mode at the big hit. There may be. In other words, as a small hit, the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 may be opened in such a way that the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is opened with substantially the same number of times of opening and substantially the same opening time as the big hit.

  If it is determined that the big hit gaming state of the low probability low base state will be the high probability low base state after the big hit gaming state of the high probability low hit state, the base state will be small in the low probability low base state. The low base state is the same as the state after the end of the small hit gaming state when it is determined to win. This makes it difficult for the player to identify whether the winning position is a big hit or a small hit when the winning hole is opened twice in the low probability low base state. The fun of the game is improved.

  It should be noted that the normal big hit may be a big hit in which control is performed to make a non-probable change state, a non-time-short state, and a non-electric Chu support control state (low-probability low base state). Further, the probability variation big hit may be a big hit in which control is performed to be a probability variation state, a non-time-short state, and a non-electric Chu support control state (high accuracy low base state). In addition, the sudden hit may be a big hit in which control is performed to change into a probability variation state, a time reduction state, and an electric Chu support control state (highly accurate high base state).

  In addition, for the big hit game hit, after the big hit game state, the base state is set to the low base state and the variable time state is set to the non-time-short state, and after the big hit game state is finished, the base state is increased. As the base state, there may be provided separately from the second big hit big hit that makes the variable time state short time state, and these big hit big hits may be selected at a predetermined ratio.

  In this way, when the first and second big hits are provided, for example, the second special big hit is selected for the second special symbol to be in a shorter time state than the first special symbol. What is necessary is just to set the ratio made high. In this way, in the electric chew support control state, since the variable winning ball device 715 is frequently changed to the open state, the frequency of the variable display on the second special symbol display 708b is increased. Due to the opening of the special variable winning ball apparatus 720, the two rounds of sudden big hit is an unfavorable hit for the player in terms of the number of winning balls obtained, compared to the normal round of 15 rounds and the probable big hit. Players are easily discouraged. Therefore, in the probability variation state and the electric chew support control state, the second special symbol display 708b has a two-round sudden probability big hit which is disadvantageous for the player in terms of the number of prize balls obtained from the normal round hit of 15 rounds and the probability variation big hit. Even if it occurs due to the display result, if the rate of control in the time-saving state is increased, the player is controlled not only in discouragement like in the case of non-time-saving state but also in the time-saving state. In some cases, the stored memory data is digested at an early stage, so that the player can be satisfied.

  In addition, as a hit where a prize ball cannot be obtained substantially, such as a big hit, it is a big hit of 15 rounds. However, since the opening time per round is extremely short, for example, 0.1 seconds, It is also possible that no prize ball is obtained. In addition, as a winning where a prize ball is not substantially obtained, a prize ball is substantially obtained by executing at least one of a small number of rounds or a short opening time per round. Anything that doesn't exist. Specifically, for a big hit (similarly for a small hit) for which no winning ball can be obtained, the number of times of opening is 2 and the opening time is 0.5 seconds, or the number of times of opening is 15 and the opening time is 0.00. What is necessary is just to set like 1 second. Also, instead of a big hit (similarly for a small hit) where no winning ball can be obtained, for example, a big hit game state rather than a big hit of 15 rounds, such as a big hit with two open times and an open time of 29 seconds Because the total value of the opening time at is short, a big hit with fewer prize balls than the 15 round big hit may be provided.

  In addition, the number of rounds is the same as the big hit, but the number of rounds is the same, such as providing a big hit with an opening pattern with a long opening time and a big hit with an opening pattern with a short opening time. A plurality of patterns with different opening patterns are provided, so that the selection is executed at different selection ratios when the first special symbol fluctuation display is a big hit and when the second special symbol fluctuation display is a big hit. Anyway.

  The big hit and the small hit are the same in the number of times and the opening time of the special variable winning ball apparatus 720, and it is difficult for the player to recognize whether the big hit or the small hit. Furthermore, since the big hit gaming state is not controlled in the short-time state after the end of the big hit gaming state, and the electric chew support control is not performed, compared with the small hit where the big hit probability and the base do not change after the end of the small hit gaming state, In the low-probability-low base state, it is difficult for the player to distinguish between the operation status after the end of the big hit gaming state for the sudden hit big hit and after the end of the small hit gaming state. As a result, after the end of the big hit gaming state of the sudden hit big hit and after the end of the small hit gaming state, when a common performance that does not notify that the probability changed state is performed, whether or not the probability changed state It is difficult for players to recognize. Since such a control state is a state in which the probability variation state is latent, it is called a latent effect state, and the control for making such a latent effect state is called latent effect control. By executing a common performance after the end of the big hit or small hit, latent production control is performed in which it is impossible to determine whether the state is a probability variation state or a non-probability variation state. Whether or not there is, it is possible to further improve the interest of the game.

  Note that for the sudden hit, the control may be performed so as to shift to the probability changing state, the time-shortening state, and the electric chew support control state (highly accurate high base state). When such control is performed, it is not necessary to provide a small hit, and furthermore, control is performed to shift to an effect state indicating the high-accuracy and high-base state without executing the above-described latent effect. May be.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 700 according to this embodiment, the effect control microcomputer 7100 does not notify that it is in a probable change state after the end of the big hit gaming state and the small hit gaming state after the sudden hit big hit. The latent effect control for performing a common effect is performed. By performing such latent effect control, it is possible to give a player a sense of expectation as to whether or not the player is in a probable variation state, and to improve the interest of the game.

  In addition, when the “normal big hit” as in this embodiment is provided for the big hit of 15 rounds, since the number of rounds is controlled in the same time-short state as the same probability variable big hit, whether it is a sudden big hit or a small hit Is difficult for the player to recognize. Therefore, the above-described latent effect state may be controlled by performing a common effect that does not notify that the probability change state is in the probability change big hit and the normal big hit.

  FIG. 46 is a block diagram showing an example of a circuit configuration of the main board (game control board) 731. As shown in FIG. 46 also shows a payout control board 737, an effect control board 780, and the like. A game control microcomputer (corresponding to game control means) 7560 for controlling the pachinko gaming machine 700 according to a program is mounted on the main board 731.

  The game control microcomputer 7560 includes a ROM 754 that stores a program for game control (game progress control), a RAM 755 as storage means used as a work memory, a CPU 756 that performs control operations in accordance with the program, and an I / O port unit. 757. In this embodiment, the ROM 754 and the RAM 755 are built in the game control microcomputer 7560. That is, the game control microcomputer 7560 is a one-chip microcomputer. The one-chip microcomputer may include at least the CPU 756 and the RAM 755, and the ROM 754 may be externally attached or may be incorporated. Further, the I / O port unit 757 may be externally attached. The game control microcomputer 7560 further includes a random number circuit 7503 for generating hardware random numbers (random numbers generated by the hardware circuit).

  In the game control microcomputer 7560, the CPU 756 executes control in accordance with the program stored in the ROM 754. Therefore, the game control microcomputer 7560 (or CPU 756) executes (or performs processing) hereinafter. Specifically, the CPU 756 executes control according to a program. The same applies to microcomputers mounted on substrates other than the main substrate 731.

  The random number circuit 7503 is a hardware circuit used to generate a random number for determination for determining whether or not to win a big hit based on the display result of the special symbol variation display. The random number circuit 7503 updates the numerical data according to the set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and generates the random data at random timing. Based on the fact that the starting winning time is the time of reading (extracting) the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the read numerical data becomes a random value.

  The random number circuit 7503 has a numeric data update range selection / setting function (initial value selection / setting function and upper limit selection / setting function), numeric data update rule selection / setting function, and numeric data update rule selection. It has various functions such as a switching function. With such a function, the randomness of the generated random numbers can be improved.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 7560 has a function of setting an initial value of numerical data updated by the random number circuit 7503. For example, a predetermined calculation is performed using an ID number of the game control microcomputer 7560 (an ID number assigned to each product of the game control microcomputer 7560) stored in a predetermined storage area such as the ROM 754. The numerical data obtained by the setting is set as an initial value of the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 7503. By performing such processing, the randomness of the random number generated by the random number circuit 7503 can be further improved.

  The game control microcomputer 7560 reads numerical data as random R from the random number circuit 7503 when a start winning to the first start port switch 713a or the second start port switch 714a occurs, and starts to change the special symbol and effect symbol Sometimes it is determined whether or not to make a jackpot display result as a specific display result based on the random R, that is, whether or not to make a jackpot display result.
