  A player accesses the server 60 via the terminal 50. When accessed from the terminal 50, the server 60 performs a start information generation process. As the start information generation process, the server 60 acquires terminal-specific information (for example, a user ID in the case of a mobile phone) of the terminal 50, and also stores game-related information associated with the stored terminal-specific information. read out.

  The server 60 transmits start password information (password character data or voice data) for causing the pachinko gaming machine 1 to start a pachilog game based on the acquired terminal-specific information and the read game-related information. . Accordingly, the terminal 50 acquires the start password.

  The player inputs the acquired start password to the pachinko gaming machine 1 through the selection button group 9 (information input means). The pachinko gaming machine 1 authenticates the start password. When the start password is successfully authenticated, the game history information, point information and button operation information stored in the pachinko machine 1 are cleared, and new game history information, Allow storage of point information and button operation information. That is, the execution of a new pachilog game is permitted.

  When the game is started, the pachinko gaming machine 1 stores game history information, point information, and button operation information in accordance with the game process to be executed. When the game ends, the player operates the effect button 8 and the selection button group 9 to end the pachilog game. When the pachilog game ends, the pachinko gaming machine 1 stores game history information, point information, button operation information, terminal-specific information, and information on the Internet site address (homepage address) for accessing the server 60. Coded QR code information is generated and displayed on the code display unit 19 a of the image display 19.

  The player captures the QR code with the camera of the terminal device 50, reads the QR code information, and transmits game-related information, terminal-specific information, and the like included in the QR code information to the server 60. The application server 62 receives game-related information from the terminal 50 and performs a QR authentication process. As the QR authentication process, the application server 62 acquires the terminal specific information included in the QR code information, acquires the terminal specific information of the terminal 50 accessed this time, and whether these terminal specific information matches. Determine whether. When the terminal specific information matches, the server 60 stores the game history information, point information, and button operation information included in the QR code information in the data server 63.

  That is, the server 60 displays the game history information and the point information on the terminal device 50 when the authentication in the QR authentication process is successful. Therefore, the server 60 executes the image data creation process of the game history information and the point information to the terminal device 50. Send. On the other hand, when the authentication in the QR authentication process fails, error image data notifying an error is transmitted to the terminal 50 in order to display a result indicating the failure on the terminal 50.

  When the accumulated number of points obtained by adding the number of points already registered and the number of points acquired this time has reached a preset number of points, or when the server has cleared a plurality of predetermined missions. The URL of a website where special image data can be downloaded is transmitted to the terminal 50. In this game, the URL of the website where the image data of the effect scene that was being executed at the timing when the effect button 8 was operated during the execution of the change effect is transmitted to the terminal 50.

  In addition, the player directly accesses the server 60 when he / she wants to confirm the game history information and point information thus far. When there is an access from the terminal device 50, the server 60 reads the terminal-specific information of the accessed terminal device 50, and displays the authentication processing for displaying whether the terminal-specific information of the accessed terminal device 50 is registered in the database. I do.

  If there is terminal-specific information already registered in the database, the server 60 displays game history information and point information corresponding to the terminal-specific information on the terminal 50. Is transmitted to the terminal 50.

  Next, processing executed by the control means 24a of the game control board 24 will be described based on a flowchart. However, the symbol Si (i = 11, 12, 13,...) In the figure is each step. The control program for each control process is stored in advance in the ROM of the control means 24a.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the timer interrupt process executed by the control means 24a is started every minute time (4 ms). In the timer interrupt process, random number update process (S11), switch process (S12), symbol process (S13), an electric accessory process (S14), a prize ball process (S15), and an output process (S16) are sequentially executed.

  As shown in FIG. 11, in the special symbol processing of S13, when the winning game flag is not ON (during big winning game) (S21; No), when the special symbol is changing (S22; Yes), the process proceeds to S32. . On the other hand, when the special symbol is not changing (S22; No), it is determined whether or not the second special figure holding number U2 is “1 or more” (S23).

  If the determination in S23 is Yes, the second special figure hold number U2 is subtracted from U2-1 (S24), and if the determination in S23 is No, it is determined whether the first special figure hold number U1 is “1 or more”. (S25). When the determination in S25 is Yes, the first special figure reservation number U1 is subtracted from U1-1 (S26). If the determination in S25 is No, a demonstration effect setting process is executed (S36). After execution of S24 or S26, the customer waiting flag is turned off (S27), a big hit determination process is executed (S28), and then a variation pattern selection process (S29) is executed.

  In the variation pattern selection process of S29, a plurality of types determined in advance in association with the big hit or the loss based on the presence / absence of the big hit, the presence / absence of reach, the type of the big hit or the lost symbol, etc. determined and set in the big hit determination process of S28. The variation pattern is selected and set from the variation pattern (variation time) for the game effect. Thereafter, the first or second special symbol is started to change (S30), and a change start command including information on the type of the special symbol set in S28 and the change pattern (change time) set in S29 is set ( S31).

  When the variation time set in S29 has elapsed (S32; Yes), the first or second special symbol is variably stopped (S33). Subsequently, a change stop command is set (S34), and a stop process (S35) is executed. In this stop process, a process for shifting the game state and the like are executed.

  Next, processing executed by the effect control means 26a of the effect control board 26 will be described based on a flowchart. However, the symbol Si (i = 41, 42, 43...) In the figure is each step. The control program for each control process is stored in advance in the ROM of the effect control means 26a.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the timer interrupt process executed by the effect control means 26a is started every minute time (4 ms), and in the timer interrupt process, the timer update process (S41), the pachilog game start / end setting process ( S42), command reception processing (S43), effect button processing (button operation game processing) (S44), and command transmission processing (S45) are sequentially executed. The command set in each process is transmitted to the image display board 27 and the lamp control board 28 by the command transmission process in S45.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the timer update process of S41, update processes of various timer counters are executed (S51). In this update process, “1” is subtracted from the count value of the effect timer counter or the QR display timer counter every predetermined time. Here, the effect timer counter counts the effect time of the variable effect executed on the image display 19, and the QR display timer counter displays a QR code on the code display unit 19 a of the image display 19. Time is counted.

  Next, a time input process (S52) and a date information update process (S53) are sequentially executed. In the date information update process, date information for the month, day, day of the week, and hour is updated based on calendar information stored in advance according to the time signal input from the RTC in S52.

  After execution of S53, it is determined whether or not the QR display counter is “0” (S54). If the determination is Yes, that is, if the QR code display time has elapsed, whether or not the QR display flag F1 is “1”. (S55), if the determination is Yes, the QR display flag F1 is reset to “0” (S56), and QR display deletion processing is executed to cause the image display 19 to delete the display of the QR code ( S57). On the other hand, if the QR code display time has not elapsed (S54; No), the process returns.

  After execution of S57, the game edit operation flag F2 is reset to “0” (S58), and then the process returns. This game edit operation flag is a flag that is set when processing such as start and end of a pachilog game is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 14, in the pachilog game start / end setting process in S42, the effect button SW8a or the SWs 42a to 42e of the selection button group 9 are turned off, that is, the effect button 8 or the selection button group 9 is operated before the game starts. If the voice input signal from the voice input device 10 is input (S62; Yes), the voice input process is executed (S63). On the other hand, if the determination in S62 is No, the process returns.

  On the other hand, if any of the effect button SW8a or the SWs 42a to 42e of the selection button group 9 is on (S61; Yes), it is determined whether or not the in-game pachilog confirmation flag F3 is “1” (S64). The in-game pachilog confirmation flag F3 is a flag that is set when a voice is input to the voice input device 10 and authentication for suddenly starting a pachilog game is successful when the game edit is not being executed.

  If the determination in S64 is Yes, it is determined whether or not there is an operation for confirming whether or not the pachilog game has started by the effect button 8 or the selection button group 9 (S65). If the determination is No, the in-game pachilog confirmation flag F3 is “ It is reset to “0” (S69), a start erase instruction command is set (S70), and then the process returns. The start deletion instruction command is a command for instructing the image display 19 to delete the confirmation image of the pachilog game when the pachilog game has not started.

  In S65, when there is an operation for confirming whether or not a pachilog game is started, a pachilog initialization process is executed in S66, and the game history information, point information, button operation information, pachilog execution flag F5, terminal specific information, etc. Once cleared. Next, in S67, a patch log start setting process is executed, and a patch log execution flag F5 is set to "1". The flag F5 is set so that new game history information, point information, button operation information, and the like are stored. Next, a patch log start display command is set (S68), and then the process returns.

  On the other hand, if the determination in S64 is No, it is determined whether or not the demonstration effect flag F4 is set to “1” (S71). If the determination is Yes, the game edit control process related to the start and end of the pachilog game is performed. It is executed (S72), and then returns. In this game edit control process, processes such as start and end of a pachilog game are performed. If the determination in S71 is No, a display instruction command corresponding to the operation of the effect button 8 is set for various effects (S73), and the process returns.

  As shown in FIG. 15, in the voice input process of S63, the voice input signal from the voice input device 10 is analyzed, and whether or not the input voice signal is a DTMF signal (Dual Tone Multi Frequency signal) capable of identifying information. (S81), and if the determination is No, a display instruction command corresponding to the audio signal of various effects is set in S82, and then the process returns. The display instruction command is a command for instructing the production means 32 to execute the production according to the sound.

  On the other hand, if the determination in S81 is Yes, password authentication processing based on voice information is executed (S83). In this password authentication process, authentication is performed as to whether or not the input voice information is information corresponding to the voice data of the start password generated from a predetermined algorithm. The voice information that has been successfully authenticated corresponds to the start password input at the start of the pachilog game.

  If password authentication fails (S84; No), the process returns. On the other hand, if the password authentication is successful (S84; Yes), it is determined whether or not the game edit is being executed (S85). If the determination is No, the in-game pachilog confirmation flag F3 is set to “1” in S86. Then, a start confirmation display instruction command for displaying the confirmation screen of the pachilog game is set (S87), and then the process returns.

  If the determination in S85 is Yes, as in S67 and S68, a patch log initialization process (S88) and a patch log start setting process (S89) are executed, an authentication success display instruction command is set (S90), and then the process returns. To do. The authentication success display instruction command is a command for causing the image display device 19 to display that the authentication of the start password from the voice input device 10 is successful.

  As shown in FIG. 16, in the game edit control process of S72, it is determined whether or not the game edit operation flag F2 is “1” (S91). If the determination is No, the game edit operation flag F2 is set to “1”. It is set (S92), and a top menu determination process is executed (S93). In the top menu determination process, data indicating the top menu is set in the menu counter. Here, the menu counter is identification information for displaying each menu screen of the game edit.

  The menu counter has nine pieces of information from 00 to 08, where counter = 00 is “top menu”, counter = 01 is “mission content confirmation”, counter = 02 is “new game start”, and counter = 03 is “game end” ”, Counter = 04 is“ data clear ”, counter = 05 is“ character selection ”, counter = 06 is“ input method selection ”, counter = 07 is“ password input ”, and counter = 08 is“ voice data input ”. Has corresponding information.

  Next, in S94, data indicating “mission content confirmation” (selection counter ← 00) is set in the selection counter. The selection counter has five pieces of information that are updated by the operation of the effect button 8 and is information for determining a selection menu of a transition destination from the top menu. The selection counter = 00 to 04 corresponds to the menu counter = 01 to 05, respectively.

  On the other hand, when the game edit operation flag F2 is set to “1” (S91; Yes), it is determined in S61 which one of the effect button 8 and the selection button group 9 is operated (S96). In this case, that is, when any of the selection button group 9 is operated, the selection button determination process is executed (S97), and then the process returns.

  On the other hand, when the production button 8 is operated (S96; Yes), it is determined whether the menu screen of the game edit is “top menu” (S98). If the determination is Yes, based on the current selection counter. The destination menu counter (menu screen) is determined (S99).

  In S99, when the selection counter = 00, the menu counter = 01 (mission content confirmation) is determined, when the selection counter = 01, the menu counter = 02 (new game start) is determined, and when the selection counter = 02, the menu counter is determined. = 03 (game end), menu counter = 04 (data clear) is determined when selection counter = 03, and menu counter = 05 (character selection) is determined when selection counter = 04. As a result, the “top menu” shifts to various selection menu screens of “mission content confirmation”, “new game start”, “game end”, “data clear”, or “character selection”.

  Next, in S100, the migration destination menu preparation process (various counter setting processes) is executed based on the newly determined menu counter. In this counter setting process, if menu counter = 01 (mission content confirmation), page counter = 0 (first page) is set, menu counter = 02 (new game start), menu counter = 03 (game end) Alternatively, if menu counter = 04 (data clear), YN counter = 0 is set, and the initial values of “Yes” and “No” are set to “No”.

  If menu counter = 05 (character selection), the selected character flag corresponding to the currently selected character is read. Here, the page counter is information for displaying the page of the effect list displayed by operating the effect button 8 in the mission content confirmation menu. The YN counter is information for selecting “Yes” or “No” by operating the effect button 8 in various menus.

  When menu counter = 01 (mission content confirmation) (S101; Yes), mission information generation processing is executed in S102, and an effect information effect list is generated from a plurality of effect information stored in advance. After S102 or when the determination in S101 is No, a display instruction command for displaying a new transition destination menu screen is based on information set in the menu counter, page counter, YN counter, and selected character flag. It is set (S103) and then returns.

  On the other hand, when the menu screen of the game edit is not the “top menu” (S98; No), it is determined whether or not the menu screen of the game edit is “start new game” (S104). If the determination in S104 is Yes, it is determined whether YN counter = 1 (S105). If the determination is No, that is, if “No” is selected when the effect button 8 is operated, the menu counter is set to 00, the top menu is determined again, and a display instruction command for displaying the top menu screen is set. (S109), and then returns.

  If the determination in S105 is Yes, that is, if “Yes” is selected when the production button 8 is operated, an input method selection menu (menu counter = 06) is determined in S106, and the input counter is set to 00. A method for selecting a method selection menu is executed (S107). Here, the input counter is information for selecting “password input” or “voice data input” by operating the effect button 8 in the input method selection menu. Input counter = 00 means that “password input” is being selected, and input counter = 01 means that “voice data input” is being selected.

  Next, a display instruction screen for displaying an input method selection menu screen is set based on the information set in the menu counter and the input counter (S108), and the process returns.

  On the other hand, when the menu screen of the game edit is not “start new game” (S104; No), as shown in FIG. 17, it is determined whether or not the menu screen of the game edit is “select input method” (menu counter = 06). (S110). If the determination in S110 is Yes, it is determined whether or not “input counter = 00”, that is, “password input” is being selected (S111). If the determination in S111 is Yes, a password input menu (menu counter = 07) is determined, and a password input preparation process is executed (S113).

  In this password input preparation process, a character selection counter for setting the 26-character alphabet “A to Z” by operating the effect button 8 or the selection button group 9 is set. This character selection counter consists of 0 to 25 information, and alphabets A to Z are associated with each piece of information. On the other hand, if the determination in S111 is No, that is, if “voice data input” is being selected, a voice data input menu (menu counter = 08) is determined (S114). After execution of S113 or S114, a display instruction command for displaying a menu screen of “password input” or “voice data input” is set (S115), and the process returns.

  On the other hand, if the menu screen of the game edit is not “input selection method” (S110; No) and “password input” (menu counter = 07) (S116; Yes), it is determined whether or not the password input is completed. (S117), if the determination is No, the process returns. If the determination in S117 is Yes, the authentication process for the input start password is executed (S118). In S118, an authentication process is executed to determine whether or not the input start password is information corresponding to a password generated from a predetermined algorithm.

  When authentication of the start password is successful (S119: Yes), the patty log initialization process (S120) and the patty log start setting process (S121) are executed as in S67 and S89, and the authentication success display instruction command is set in S122. And then return. On the other hand, when the start password authentication fails (S119; No), an authentication failure display instruction command is set (S123), and the process returns.

  On the other hand, if the menu screen of the game edit is not “password input” (S116; No) and “game end” (menu counter = 03) (S124; Yes), it is determined whether the YN counter = 1 (S125). ) If the determination is No, that is, if “No” is selected when the effect button 8 is operated, the display is a display instruction command for displaying the menu screen of the top menu with menu counter = 00 to return to the top menu. Is set (S131), and then the process returns.

  If the determination in S125 is Yes, that is, if “Yes” is selected when the effect button 8 is operated, time information of the end time is acquired (S126), and QR code generation processing is executed (S127).

  Next, in S128, a time (for example, 120 seconds) for displaying the QR code on the image display 19 is set in the QR display timer counter, and the QR display flag F1 is set to “1” (S128). Next, the pachilog execution flag F5, game history information, button operation information, point information, terminal specific information, etc. are cleared by the pachilog initialization process (S129), and a display command command for displaying the generated QR code is set. (S130), and then returns.

  On the other hand, when the menu screen of the game edit is not “game end” (S124; No) and, as shown in FIG. 18, “data clear” (menu counter = 04) (S132; Yes), the YN counter = 1. It is determined whether or not (S133). If the determination in S133 is No, that is, if “No” is selected when the effect button 8 is operated, a display instruction command for displaying the menu screen of the top menu is displayed with menu counter = 00 in order to return to the top menu. It is set (S136) and returns.

  If the determination in S133 is Yes, that is, if “Yes” is selected when the effect button 8 is operated, the game history information, terminal-specific information, etc. are cleared by the pachilog initialization process, and the pachilog execution flag F5 is set. It is reset to “0” (S134), a display instruction command for displaying that data has been cleared is set (S135), and the process returns.

  On the other hand, when the menu screen of the game edit is not “data clear” (S132; No) but “character selection” (menu counter = 05) (S137; Yes), the player is allowed to select a desired character. A normal character determination process is executed (S138). In S138, the character selected in S163 of the selection button determination process in S87 described later is determined as the selected character, and a selected character flag corresponding to the character is set. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the character has been changed (S139). If the determination in S139 is No, a display instruction command for displaying the determined character is set (S142).

  If the determination in S139 is Yes, it is determined whether or not the jackpot consecutive resort is being continued (S140). If the determination is No, S142 is executed and the process returns. On the other hand, when the determination in S140 is Yes, the number of consecutive resorts initialization process is executed in accordance with the change of the character that is continuing the consecutive resort (S141), and the process returns via S142.

  As shown in FIG. 19, in the selection button determination process in S97, when the ENTER button SW42a is on (S151; Yes), the game edit operation flag F2 is reset to “0” (S152), and the game edit screen is erased. An edit erasure instruction command is set for this (S153), and the process proceeds to S166.

  When the ENTER button SW42a is ON (S151; No), it is determined whether or not the game edit menu screen is a “top menu” (S154). When the determination is Yes, a menu (selection counter) update process is executed based on the operation of the selection button group 9 (S155), and the process proceeds to S166.

  If the determination in S154 is No, it is determined whether or not the menu screen is “confirm mission contents” (S156). If the determination is Yes, a page counter update process is executed based on the operation of the selection button group 9 ( The process proceeds to S157) and S166.

  If the determination in S156 is No, it is determined whether or not the menu screen is “select input method” (S158), and if the determination is Yes, the update process of the input counter is executed based on the operation of the selection button group 9 ( The process proceeds to S159) and S166.

  If the determination in S160 is No, it is determined whether or not the menu screen is “character selection” (S162). If the determination is Yes, the update process of the selected character flag is executed based on the operation of the selection button group 9 ( The process proceeds to S163) and S166.

  If the determination in S162 is No, it is determined whether or not the menu screen is “voice data input” (S164), and the determination is No, that is, the menu screen is “new game start”, “game end”, “data clear”. In this case, the update process of the YN counter is executed based on the operation of the selection button group 9 (S165), and the process proceeds to S166.

  In S166, various display instruction commands are set based on clearing the game edit operation flag, selection counter, page counter, YN counter, selection character flag, etc., and the process returns.

  As shown in FIG. 20, in the command reception process of S43, it is determined whether or not a hold number increase command is received (S171). If the determination is Yes, a hold number addition process is executed (S172), and the hold number command Is set (S173). The production control means 26a of the production control board 26 manages the first and second special figure hold numbers, and in S172, depending on the type of the hold number command received in S171, the first or second special figure hold number. Is incremented by 1, and the first or second special figure pending number command is set in S173.

  Next, after execution of S173 or if the determination in S171 is No, it is determined whether or not a variation start command is received (S174). If the determination is Yes, a variation effect pattern selection process is executed (S175). In this variation effect selection processing, the variation start command received in S175 (including information on the presence / absence of a hit, presence / absence of reach, type of jackpot (normal / probable variation), variation pattern (variation time)) is analyzed, and the information is Based on this, the effect design is determined, and the variation effect pattern is selected from the variation effect pattern selection table shown in FIG. In this variation effect pattern selection process, a number-of-holds subtraction process for subtracting 1 from the number of first or second special figure reservations related to the symbol variation is also executed.

  Next, it is determined whether the pachilog execution flag F5 is set to “1” (S176). If the determination is Yes, the effect point determination process is executed (S177), and the game process point determination table of FIG. Referring to, the point of the selected variation effect pattern is determined. Next, the variation effect history information storage process is executed (S178), and the effect information of the selected variation effect pattern is stored in the game history information storage area.

  Next, after the execution of S178 or when the determination in S176 is No, the demonstration effect flag F4 and the game edit operation flag F2 are reset to “0” in accordance with the start of the special symbol variation display. At the same time, the QR display timer counter is reset to “0” (S179), and then the change start command is set (S180).

  Next, after the execution of S180 or when the determination in S174 is No, it is determined whether or not a change stop command is received (S181). If the determination is Yes, it is determined whether or not the patch log execution flag F5 is “1”. (S182) If the determination is Yes, a variation point determination process is executed in S183 (S183), referring to the game processing point determination table in FIG. 6, points corresponding to the variation display of the special symbol (1 Point) is determined, and the variation count information is stored in the game history information storage area (S184). After the execution of S184 or when the determination in S182 is No, a variation effect end command is set (S185), and the process proceeds to S186.

  As shown in FIG. 21, in S186, it is determined whether or not an opening command is received (S186). If the determination is Yes, a winning effect pattern selection process is executed in S187, and a winning effect pattern is selected from the big hit effect pattern determination table according to the type of the big hit (normal / probability change).

  Next, in S188, it is determined whether the patch log execution flag F5 is “1”. If the determination is Yes, a winning point determination process is executed in S189, and the game processing point determination table of FIG. 6 is referred to. The points corresponding to the hit type are determined, and the hit history information is stored in the game history information storage area in S190. After the execution of S190 or when the determination in S188 is No, an opening effect start command is set (S191).

  Next, after the execution of S191 or if the determination in S186 is No, it is determined whether or not an ending command is received (S192).
