  Next, the configuration of the game board 30 will be described with reference to FIG. The game board 30 includes a general winning port 31, a variable winning device 32, a starting winning unit (starting port) 33, a through gate 34, a variable display device unit 35, a first special display device 43L and a second special display device 43R. A specific lamp 40 or the like is provided. As is well known, when a game ball enters (wins) various winning holes such as a general winning hole 31, a variable winning device 32 as a variable winning means, a starting winning unit 33, etc., it is detected by various detection switches, and the upper plate 19 or A predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the lower plate 15. For example, when there is a ball entering the start winning unit 33, there are three balls when there is a ball entering the general winning slot 31, and when there is a ball entering the variable winning device 32. Fifteen game balls are paid out. In addition, the game board 30 is provided with an out port 36, and the game balls that have not won the various winning ports such as the general winning port 31 are discharged out of the game area through the out port 36. . In addition, the game board 30 is provided with a large number of nails for appropriately dispersing and adjusting the falling direction of the game balls, and various members such as windmills (servants).

  The variable prize-winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which a game ball cannot be won, and is in an open state in which a game ball can be won in a big hit state. Although not shown in the drawings, the variable prize winning device 32 includes a big prize opening leading to the rear of the game board 30, a shutter for opening and closing the big prize opening, a big prize opening solenoid for operating the shutter, and a big prize. And a count switch 223 for detecting a game ball that has entered the mouth, driving and controlling the big prize opening solenoid, and opening and closing the shutter, so that the variable prize winning device 32 (large prize winning opening) is in a closed state and an open state. Switching.

  The start winning unit 33 includes an upper winning opening 33a and a lower winning opening 33b, and a pair of opening and closing members 33c provided on both sides of the lower winning opening 33b. When the opening / closing member 33c opens and closes in response to the establishment of a predetermined condition, the game ball flowing down the side of the lower prize opening 33b is guided between an open state where the game ball is guided to the lower prize opening 33b and a closed state where the game ball is not guided. The state can be changed. As will be described in detail later, the start winning unit 33 includes a first start winning switch 224a and a second starting winning switch 224b that detect game balls that have entered the upper winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b, respectively. In addition, when a game ball is detected by the start winning switch 224a, 224b, a winning lottery for determining whether or not to generate a big hit state is performed, and special display devices 43L, 43R (and variable display means described later) In the decorative symbol display device 42), a variable display for teaching the result of the success / failure lottery is performed. Then, when a big win is won in the winning / losing lottery, a big win state is given as a special gaming state in which the variable winning device 32 is opened.

  Further, in the present embodiment, there are a low probability state in which a jackpot is won with a predetermined probability in the success / failure lottery and a high probability state in which the jackpot is won with a higher probability than the low probability state in the success / failure lottery. Further, the opening / closing member 33c is opened relatively frequently, and it is easy to allow the game ball to enter the lower winning opening 33c, and the opening / closing member 33c is hardly opened, and the game ball is moved to the lower winning opening 33b. There is a low entry state that is difficult to enter. Hereinafter, the low probability state and the low entry state are referred to as “normal mode”, and the low probability state and the high entry state are referred to as “time reduction mode”. A certain state is referred to as a “probability change mode”.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the normal mode and the probability variation mode are continued until the jackpot state occurs, whereas the time reduction mode is the special display devices 43L and 43R and the decorative symbol display device 42 even if the jackpot state does not occur. When the fluctuation display in is performed 100 times, the display is terminated and the mode is shifted to the normal mode.

  The jackpot types of the present embodiment are 16 round probability variation jackpot (hereinafter referred to as “16RS”), 7 round probability variation jackpot (hereinafter referred to as “7RS”), and 7 round normal jackpot (hereinafter referred to as “7RN”). There are three types. Regarding “16RS”, it is assumed that the variable winning device 32 is opened for 30 seconds or that eight game balls enter the variable winning device 32 after the variable winning device 32 is opened. It is repeated 16 times, while for “7RS” it is repeated 7 times before the jackpot state ends. In addition, “probability change mode” is given after the big hit state of “16RS” and “7RS”, and “time reduction mode” is given after the big hit state of “7RN”.

  Each of the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R is configured by a 7-segment display device of a type capable of displaying two characters (and dots), and can be visually recognized by the player (in this example, the variable winning device 32). It is installed on the right). Then, when the game ball enters the top winning port 33a of the start winning unit 33, the first special display device 43L performs switching display (variable display), and the game ball enters the lower winning port 33b. As a trigger, switching display (variation display) is performed on the second special display device 43R. Note that the display contents of the special display devices 43L and 43R are directly controlled by a main control device 261 as main control means described later.

  In addition, after the variable display is performed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R, the result of the lottery determination, that is, “big hit” or “off”, depending on the display mode when the variable display stops. It is definitely displayed that there is. For example, when a game ball wins the top winning opening 33a, the lighting mode (combination of segments to be lit) is switched and displayed (variable display, for example, every 4 msec) on the corresponding first special display device 43L. When a predetermined time has elapsed, one of the lighting modes is stopped and displayed (for example, stopped for several seconds). Then, when “big hit” is won in the winning / losing lottery, the corresponding lighting mode is displayed when the fluctuation is stopped, and a big hit state occurs.

  Further, in the special display devices 43L and 43R, not only is it taught that the “big hit” is won, but the type of the big hit state, ie, “16RS”, “7RS”, or “7RN”. Is also taught. For example, when “7.7.” Is finally displayed (stopped) on the first special display device 43L (or the second special display device 43R), “16RS” is assigned, and “n. “0.” is displayed, it is associated with “7RN”. Further, there are a plurality of stop modes of the special display devices 43L and 43R that teach one jackpot type instead of one, and any one of them is selected and stopped and displayed. In addition, when either the first special display device 43L or the second special display device 43R is performing variable display or determination display, the other is turned off ("-" is displayed). However, if neither the change display nor the determination display is performed in either case, “-” is displayed in both cases.

  In addition, when a game ball newly wins the start winning unit 33 during the variation display of the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, the corresponding variation display is performed at that time. It is the structure performed after the end of. That is, the variable display is on standby (held). The maximum number of the variable display to be held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, but in the present embodiment, it corresponds to the game ball won in the top winning port 33a and the game ball won in the lower winning port 33b. Then, the variation display up to four times (total eight variation display) is put on hold.

  Further, the number of holdings of the variation display (hereinafter referred to as “first variation display”) based on the game ball entering the top winning opening 33a is lit and displayed by the first holding lamp 46a that can emit blue light. The number of holdings of the variation display (hereinafter referred to as “second variation display”) based on the game ball entering the lower prize opening 33b is lit and displayed by the second holding lamp 46b that can emit red light. It has become. Four hold lamps 46a and 46b are provided in the same number as the maximum number of hold of each of the first change display and the second change display, and the same number as the number of the first change display or the second change display held. Light. The display contents of the hold lamps 46a and 46b are controlled by a sub-control device 262 as sub-control means described later. If a new game ball wins the start winning unit 33 during the big hit state, the corresponding change display is also suspended.

  Note that the suspended variation display is basically digested in the suspended sequence, but both the first variation display and the second variation display are suspended (hold lamp 46a, When one or more of 46b is lit, the second variation display is preferentially digested. In other words, unless all the second variation display triggered by winning at the lower winning opening 33b is digested, the first variation display triggered by entering the upper winning opening 33a is not performed. ing. For example, in the state where one first holding lamp 46a is lit, when a game ball enters the lower prize opening 33b and one second holding lamp 46b lights, the first variation display is postponed, First, the second variation display is performed.

  In the variation specifying lamp 40, the variation display performed on the decorative symbol display device 42 corresponds to which one of the top winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b (first variation display or second variation display). It is for showing which one of the display is variable), and is arranged at a position (below the special display devices 43L and 43R in this example) that is visible from the player. The variation specifying lamp 40 includes an LED whose emission color is blue and an LED whose emission color is red. When the first variation display is performed on the decorative symbol display device 42, the variation specifying lamp 40 emits blue light, and the second variation. It emits red light when it is being displayed.

  The through gate 34 is configured such that game balls flowing down the game area can pass one by one. As will be described in detail later, the through gate 34 includes a through gate switch 225 that can detect a game ball passing through the through gate 34. When the game ball is detected by the through gate switch 225, the through gate 34 is started. A pitch assist lottery for determining whether or not the winning unit 33 is in an open state is performed, and a variation display for teaching the result of the pitch assist lottery is performed on the normal symbol display device 41. Then, when winning in the winning assist lottery, the lower winning opening 33b (opening / closing member 33c) of the start winning unit 33 is opened for a specified time after the end of the variation display.

  The variable display device unit 35 includes a normal symbol display device 41 that variably displays triggered by the passage of the through gate 34, and a decorative symbol display device that variably displays in accordance with the variable display by the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. 42 is provided. Further, the variable display device unit 35 is provided with the first holding lamp 46a, the second holding lamp 46b, and the holding lamp 44.

  The normal symbol display device 41 is configured so that “○” or “×” can be lit as a normal symbol. For example, each time a game ball passes through the through gate 34, the normal symbol is displayed as “O” → “×” → “○” →... Is displayed at high speed (change display). Then, when the change display is stopped for several seconds with the “◯” symbol (winning symbol), the start winning unit 33 (opening / closing member 33c) is opened for a predetermined time. The display contents of the normal symbol display device 41 are directly controlled by a main control device 261 described later.

  In addition, when a game ball newly passes through the through gate 34 during the fluctuation display of the normal symbol display device 41, the corresponding fluctuation display is performed after the end of the fluctuation display at that time. It has become. That is, the variable display is on standby (held). The maximum number of the variable display to be held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, but in this embodiment, it is held up to 4 times, and the hold number is lit and displayed by the hold lamp 44. Yes.

  The decorative symbol display device 42 of the present embodiment is configured by a liquid crystal display device, and is configured to be capable of variably displaying decorative symbols as identification information. The display contents of the decorative symbol display device 42 are controlled by a sub-control device 262 and a display control device 45 which will be described later. That is, in the decorative symbol display device 42, the sub-control device 262 supports the auxiliary design based on the command from the main control device 261 so as to correspond to the results displayed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. Display content is determined, and display control is performed by the display control device 45 based on the determination.

  The decorative symbol display device 42 includes, for example, three symbol display areas, upper, middle, and lower, and a plurality of types of decorative symbols (for example, numeric symbols with numbers 1 to 9) are provided in each symbol display area. Displayed sequentially (variably displayed), and then the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in order for each symbol display area (for example, in the order of the upper symbol display area → the lower symbol display area → the middle symbol display area). . For example, when the occurrence of the big hit state is determined by the main control device 261, a display corresponding to the big hit is made on the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, and the decorative symbol is hit on the decorative symbol display device 42. (For example, the decorative symbols that are stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area, the middle symbol display area, and the lower symbol display area are the same), and the jackpot state is started.

  Further, when the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in a combination corresponding to the jackpot, as the previous stage, for example, the same decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area. In this way, the state where the same symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area and the variable display is still being performed in the middle symbol display area is the reach state. Of course, the occurrence of a reach condition does not necessarily result in a big hit, but may be missed.

  In the present embodiment, after the reach state occurs, in the middle symbol display area, the same decorative symbol as the decorative symbol (reach symbol) stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display region and the lower symbol display region is stopped (Zoro). If the eye is stopped and displayed), the jackpot state is given. Further, in the case of an odd number of eyes, “16RS” or “7RS” to which the probability variation mode is given after the jackpot state ends, and in the case of an even number of eyes, “16RS”, “7RS”, Alternatively, either “7RN” is given. In addition, the combination of decorative symbols other than the doublet basically teaches “displacement”.

  The variable display device unit 35 is provided with a center frame 47 so as to surround the decorative symbol display device 42. A ball entrance 151 is provided in the upper portion of the center frame 47, and a game ball that has entered the ball entrance 151 is formed inside the center frame 47 along the side of the decorative symbol display device 42. It is guided on a stage 153 formed below the decorative symbol display device 42 via a warp channel 152 extending vertically. The game ball guided on the stage 153 falls from the stage 153 to the front game area, or rolls on the stage 153 and then enters the pocket 154 formed at the center back side of the stage 153. . The pocket 154 communicates with a guide passage 155 that leads to a game area directly above the start winning unit 33 (upward winning opening 33a), and a game ball that has entered the pocket 154 has a relatively high probability. The start winning unit 33 (upward winning opening 33a) is entered.

  The game board 30 includes an inner rail component 51 and an outer rail component 52, and a rail 50 that guides a game ball launched from the launch device 60 to the upper part of the game board 30 is attached. As a result, the game balls fired in accordance with the turning operation of the handle 18 are guided through the launch rail 61 and the rail 50 into a game area formed between the game board 30 and the glass unit 137.

  A return ball preventing member 53 is attached to the tip portion of the inner rail constituting portion 51 (the upper left portion in FIG. 4). This prevents a situation in which the game ball once guided from the rail 50 to the game area returns to the rail 50 again. Further, a return rubber 54 is attached to a substantially distal end portion (upper right portion in FIG. 4) of the outer rail constituting portion 52. The game ball fired at a predetermined momentum or more hits the return rubber 54 and is returned to, for example, the substantially central portion of the game board 30.

  In the present embodiment, the outer rail component 52 is interrupted at the upper right portion of the game board 30, and the inner rail component 51 is interrupted at the lower right portion of the game board 30. For this reason, the game area is defined by the inner peripheral surface of the rail 50 and the window hole 39 of the resin base 38. However, since the game ball launched by the launching device 60 may flow backward through the rail 50 until it passes through the return ball prevention member 53, the parallel portions of the inner and outer rail constituting portions 51 and 52 are excluded from the game area.

Further, a CPU 521, a program ROM 522, a work RAM 523, and a VDP 526 are connected to the input port 527 through a bus line 530. An output port 529 is connected to the VDP 526 via a bus line 531, and a decorative symbol display device 42 as a liquid crystal display device is connected to the output port 529.

  The CPU 521 of the display control device 45 receives the display command transmitted from the sub-control device 262 via the input port 527, analyzes the received command, or performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on the received command to control the VDP 526. (Specifically, generation of an internal command for the VDP 526) is performed. Thereby, display control in the decorative symbol display device 42 is performed.

  The program ROM 522 is a memory that stores various control programs executed by the CPU 521 and fixed value data. The work RAM 523 is a memory that temporarily stores work data and flags used when the CPU 521 executes various programs. It is.

  The video RAM 524 is a memory for storing display data to be displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, and the display content of the decorative symbol display device 42 is changed by rewriting the contents of the video RAM 524. The character ROM 525 is a memory that stores character data such as symbols displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42.

  The VDP 526 is a kind of drawing circuit that directly operates an LCD driver (liquid crystal driving circuit) incorporated in the decorative symbol display device 42. Since the VDP 526 is an IC chip, it is also referred to as a “drawing chip”, and the substance of the VDP 526 can be said to be a microcomputer chip with a dedicated firmware for drawing processing. The VDP 526 adjusts the respective timings of the CPU 521, the video RAM 524, etc. to intervene in reading and writing data, and reads the display data stored in the video RAM 524 at a predetermined timing and causes the decorative symbol display device 42 to display it.

  The power supply device 313 includes a power supply unit 541 that supplies power to each unit of the pachinko machine 10, a power failure monitoring circuit 542 that monitors power interruption due to a power failure, and a RAM erase switch circuit 543 connected to the RAM erase switch 323. And.

  The power supply unit 541 supplies necessary operation power to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like through a power supply path (not shown). As its outline, the power supply unit 541 takes in AC 24 volt power supplied from the outside, generates + 12V power for driving various switches and motors, + 5V power for logic, backup power for RAM backup, etc. These + 12V power supply, + 5V power supply and backup power supply are supplied to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like. Note that operation power (+12 V power, +5 V power, etc.) is supplied to the launch control device 312 via the payout control device 311. Similarly, operating power is supplied to various switches, motors and the like via a control device to which these are connected.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 542 is a circuit that outputs a power failure signal SK1 to each NMI terminal of the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 and the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 542 monitors the DC stable voltage of 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit 541, and determines that a power failure (power failure) has occurred when this voltage is less than 22 volts. The power failure signal SK1 is output to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. Based on the output of the power failure signal SK1, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 recognize the occurrence of a power failure and execute a power failure process (NMI interrupt processing).

  The power supply unit 541 normally outputs an output of 5 volts, which is a drive voltage of the control system, for a time sufficient to execute the process at the time of a power failure even after the DC stable voltage of 24 volts becomes less than 22 volts. Configured to maintain the value. Therefore, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 can normally execute and complete the power failure process.

  The RAM erase switch circuit 543 is a circuit that takes in the switch signal of the RAM erase switch 323 and clears backup data in the RAM 503 of the main controller 261 and the RAM 513 of the payout controller 311 in accordance with the state of the switch 323. When the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs a RAM erase signal SK2 to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the RAM erase switch 323 pressed (including power-on due to power failure cancellation), the data in the respective RAMs 503 and 513 are cleared in the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. The

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 configured as described above will be described. In this embodiment, the CPU 501 provided in the main control device 261 as the main control means performs lottery using various counter information in the game. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, a jackpot random number counter C1 used for determining whether or not to generate a jackpot state, a jackpot random number counter C1 used for determining a jackpot type (type lottery), and a decoration The variable selection counter C3 used for determining whether or not the reach state is generated in the symbol display device 42, the initial value random number counter CINI used for setting the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1, and the first and second special display devices 43L, 43R (decorative symbol display device 42) used for determining the variation display time of the first variation type counter CS1, the second variation type counter CS2, and the normal symbol display device 41 used for lottery (entry assist lottery) The normal symbol random number counter C4 is used. Note that the variation selection counter C3 is also used for reach type lottery when the decorative symbol display device 42 is deviated and varied. The variation type counters CS1 and CS2 are also used for variation pattern selection (effect pattern selection) of the decorative symbol display device 42. Specifically, the variation time of the special display devices 43L and 43R is determined according to the determined variation pattern, and the variation mode and variation time in the decorative symbol display device 42, that is, the effect pattern, are determined.

  Each of the counters C1, C2, C3, CINI, CS1, CS2, and C4 is a loop counter that adds 1 to the previous value every time it is updated and returns to the lower limit value of 0 after reaching the upper limit value. Each counter is periodically updated, and the updated value is appropriately stored in a counter buffer set in a predetermined area of the RAM 503 (except for the random number initial value counter CINI).

  The RAM 503 stores a special variable hold area as a hold storage area for storing the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the type determination counter C2, and the change selection counter C3, and the normal symbol random number counter C4. A variable holding area is provided. The normal variation holding area includes one execution area and four holding areas (holding first to holding fourth areas). In each holding area of the normal variation holding area, the value of the normal symbol random number counter C4 is stored in time series in accordance with the passing history of the game ball to the through gate 34. By adopting this configuration, the variable display on the normal symbol display device 41 can be suspended up to four times.

  The special variable reserved area includes a first special variable reserved area and a second special variable storage area each having four reserved areas (first to fourth reserved areas), and one execution area. In each holding area of the first special variable holding area, the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the type determination counter C2, and the fluctuation selection counter C3 are time-sequentially matched to the winning history of the game balls to the top winning opening 33a. Stored in In each holding area of the second special variable holding area, the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the type determination counter C2, and the fluctuation selection counter C3 are time-sequentially matched to the winning history of the game balls to the lower winning opening 33b. Stored in By adopting this configuration, the variable display on the special display devices 43L and 43R can be suspended up to four times.

  In detail, each jackpot random number counter C1 is incremented by 1 within a range of 0 to 599, for example, and after reaching an upper limit value (ie, 599) as a closing price, 0 is a lower limit value as a starting price. It is the composition which returns to. Normally, when the jackpot random number counter C1 makes one round, the value of the initial value random number counter CINI at that time is read as the next initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1. The initial value random number counter CINI is a loop counter similar to the big hit random number counter C1 (value = 0 to 599), and is updated once for each timer interruption and is repeatedly updated within the remaining time of normal processing. On the other hand, the jackpot random number counter C1 is updated periodically (once every timer interruption in this embodiment), and the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 is stored in the jackpot random number counter buffer. The value of the big hit random number counter C1 stored in the big win random number counter buffer is stored in the special variation holding area at the timing when the game ball wins the upper winning hole 33a or the lower winning hole 33b of the start winning unit 33. .

  In the present embodiment, the number of values of the jackpot random number counter C1 that is a jackpot in the low probability state (normal mode, time reduction mode) is two, and the value is “7, 307”. In the state (probability change mode, latent probability mode), the number of values of the jackpot random number counter C1 which is a jackpot is 20, and the values are “7 to 16, 307 to 316”. In the present embodiment, two determination tables for determining whether or not the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 corresponds to the jackpot are provided in the ROM 502, and “7, 307” is jackpoted. There are a first winning / failing determination table stored as a value and a second winning / failing determination table storing “8 to 16, 308 to 316” as a jackpot value.

  In the normal mode, the probability of winning the jackpot in the winning lottery (the jackpot probability) is 1/300, and the variation time in the normal symbol display device 41 for teaching the result of the entrance assist lottery is 6 seconds. In addition, when winning in the pitch assist lottery, the lower winning opening 33b (opening / closing member 33c) is opened for 0.6 seconds.

  In the probability variation mode, the jackpot probability is 1/30, which is easier to hit than in the normal mode. In the probability variation mode, the variation time of the normal symbol display device 41 based on the entrance assist lottery is 2 seconds, which is shorter than that in the normal mode. Is opened three times and each opening time is 2 seconds. That is, in the probability variation mode, the variation time in the normal symbol display device 41 is shorter than in the normal mode, and the opening time of the bottom winning opening 33b per winning of the winning ball assist lottery is increased and the number of times of opening is large. Become. As a result, the time period during which the lower winning opening 33b is in an open state becomes longer, so that game balls frequently enter the lower winning opening 33b (becomes a high winning state), and the lottery is determined. It will be done continuously and will be in good condition. In the high pitching state, the probability that the symbol “◯” is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display device 41 (the winning probability of the pitching assist lottery) may be higher than that in the normal mode.

  In the time reduction mode, the jackpot probability is 1/300. Further, in the time shortening mode, the variation time of the normal symbol display device 41 based on the pitching assist lottery is 2 seconds, and when winning in the pitching assist lottery, the lower winning opening 33b is opened three times, Each opening time is 2 seconds. In other words, the time reduction mode has the same low probability as the jackpot probability in the normal mode, but is the same as the probability variation mode when only the operation of the start winning unit 33 is viewed. In the present embodiment, after the big hit state of “7RN” ends, the time reduction mode is set over a total of 100 variable displays performed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. Further, the time reduction mode is terminated when a total of 100 variations are displayed on the special display devices 43L and 43R even if the big hit state does not occur, and then the mode is shifted to the normal mode.

  For example, the type determination counter C2 is incremented by 1 within a range of 0 to 19, for example, and after reaching the upper limit value (that is, 19), the type determination counter C2 returns to 0 that is the lower limit value. The ROM 502 is provided with a type determination table that is referred to when determining which jackpot type the value of the type determination counter C2 corresponds to. Then, when winning in the winning / losing lottery, the type of the jackpot state type given based on the value of the type determination counter C2 is determined (type lottery is performed), and the jackpot state of the determined type is given The Rukoto.

  The type determination counter C2 is updated periodically (once every timer interruption in this embodiment), and the value of the type determination counter C2 is stored in the type determination counter buffer. Then, the value of the type determination counter C2 stored in the type determination counter buffer is stored in the special variation holding area of the RAM 503 at the timing when the game ball wins the top winning port 33a or the lower winning port 33b of the start winning unit 33. The

  In the present embodiment, “0” of the type determination counter C2 corresponds to “16RS”, “1-14” corresponds to “7RS”, and “15-19” corresponds to “7RN”. Yes. That is, when the winning / losing lottery is won, the ratio of “16RS” is 5%, the ratio of “7RS” is 70%, and the ratio of “7RN” is 25%. In addition, when winning the winning odds, the ratio of the odd-numbered slotted eyes being stopped and displayed in the variable display of the decorative symbol display device 42 is 30%. By the way, in the case of “16RS”, even if the jackpot type is not taught at the start of the jackpot state or the like, it is always possible to grasp that the jackpot state is “16RS” by shifting to the eighth round. it can.

  In addition, in the case where “7RS” is won and the even-numbered blue eyes are stopped and displayed in the variation display on the decorative symbol display device 42, the proportion taught to be a promising big jackpot during the big jackpot state. It is 80%, and it is not possible to determine whether the mode given after the jackpot has ended is the probability variation mode or the time reduction mode at the remaining 20%. Even when an odd number of blue eyes are stopped and displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, it is not possible to determine whether “16RS” or “7RS” is won at that time. By the way, after confirming the correspondence between the stop display pattern of the special display devices 43L and 43R and the jackpot type, by confirming the stop display pattern of the special display devices 43L and 43R, the jackpot type is surely grasped. It is possible to do this, however, the stop display patterns of the special display devices 43L and 43R are diverse, so it is practically difficult to grasp the above correspondence, and the jackpot type is not known at this point. This can improve the interest.

  The variation selection counter C3 is configured so that, for example, one by one is added in order within a range of 0 to 238, for example, and after reaching the upper limit value (that is, 238), it returns to the lower limit value of 0. In the present embodiment, the reach selection state is generated by the variation selection counter C3, and after the reach state is generated with respect to the decorative symbol, the final stop symbol is shifted by one before and after the reach symbol and stopped. The final stop symbol after the stop is to draw lots of “reach other than front / rear off” that stops before and after the reach symbol and “complete out” that does not cause reach. In the present embodiment, the ROM 502 is provided with a reach determination table that stores the correspondence between the value of the variation selection counter C3 and the reach type. The reach determination table stores a value of “0 to 238”, C3 = 0, 1 corresponds to the back and forth reach, C3 = 2 to 21 corresponds to the reach other than back and forth, and C3 = 22 to 238 is complete. It has a configuration corresponding to the detachment.

  The fluctuation selection counter C3 is updated periodically (once every timer interruption in this embodiment), and the value of the fluctuation selection counter C3 is stored in the fluctuation selection counter buffer. The value of the variation selection counter C3 stored in the variation selection counter buffer is stored in the special variation holding area of the RAM 503 at the timing when the game ball wins the top winning port 33a or the lower winning port 33b of the start winning unit 33. The

  In addition, one of the two variation type counters CS1 and CS2 is incremented one by one within a range of 0 to 59, for example, and reaches the upper limit value (that is, 59), and then reaches the lower limit value. The other variation type counter CS2 is incremented one by one within a range of 0 to 37, for example, and reaches the upper limit value (that is, 37), and then returns to the lower limit value of 0. It has become. For example, the first variation type counter CS1 determines the reach pattern of decorative symbols such as so-called normal reach, super reach, premium reach, and other rough symbol variation modes, and the second variation type counter CS2 determines the final stop symbol after the occurrence of reach. A more detailed symbol variation mode is determined, such as an elapsed time until the middle symbol (in this example) stops. Accordingly, a variety of variation patterns can be easily realized by combining these variation type counters CS1 and CS2. It is also possible to determine the symbol variation mode only by the first variation type counter CS1, or to determine the symbol variation mode in combination by combining the first variation type counter CS1 and the stop symbol.

  Further, the variation type counters CS1 and CS2 are updated once every time a normal process described later is executed once, and are repeatedly updated within the remaining time of the normal process. Then, the buffer values of CS1 and CS2 are acquired when determining the variation pattern at the start of variation of the decorative symbol by the decorative symbol display device 42.

  In addition, the magnitude | size and range of each counter are only examples, and can be changed arbitrarily. However, it is desirable that the big hit random number counter C1, the type determination counter C2, the variation selection counter C3, and the variation type counters CS1 and CS2 are all different prime numbers and are not synchronized in any case.

  Further, the normal symbol random number counter C4 is configured as a loop counter that is incremented one by one within a range of 0 to 9, for example, and returns to the upper limit value (that is, after reaching 9 and to the lower limit value of 0). The random number counter C4 is updated periodically (once every timer interruption in this embodiment), and the value of the normal symbol random number counter C4 is acquired when the game ball passes through the left or right through gate 34. There are six random number values, and the range is “3 to 8.” When the value of the winning normal symbol random number counter C4 is acquired, the normal symbol display device 41 displays a predetermined variation display. After the time has elapsed, the symbol corresponding to the winning (“◯” in this example) is stopped and displayed, and the lower winning opening 33b (opening / closing member 33c) is opened in a pattern according to the game mode at that time.

  Now, in this embodiment, the player simply exchanges data related to the player's game between the pachinko machine 10 and the server operated by the gaming machine manufacturer via the portable communication terminal carried by the player. It is configured to receive services that cannot be obtained simply by playing games. Hereinafter, such a gaming system will be described. In the present embodiment, a game system is configured by the pachinko machine 10, the mobile communication terminal operated by the player, and the server.

  First, an overall schematic configuration of the gaming system will be described with reference to FIG. As a method of sending information from the pachinko machine 10 to the mobile communication terminal, a QR code (registered trademark) as code information which is a two-dimensional code is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 and read by the mobile communication terminal. Done. In the mobile communication terminal, by reading the QR code, URL conversion character string information can be obtained by a conversion application (barcode reader) preinstalled in the mobile communication terminal, and is included in the character string information. Access the server based on server address information.

  The server issues a password based on various information included in the character string information in response to a request from the mobile communication terminal. Then, when the player manually inputs the password into the pachinko machine 10, a game reflecting various information included in the character string information can be performed.

  Next, the configuration on the pachinko machine 10 side will be described. In the present embodiment, when the effect button 125 is operated in a state in which no variable display or the like is performed, the menu screen is opened on the decorative symbol display device 42. Here, the process (menu display process) related to the menu operation performed by the sub-control device 262 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, in step S1101, it is determined whether or not the special display devices 43L and 43R (decorated symbol display device 42) are performing variable display. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1101, this processing is terminated as it is.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1101, it is determined in step S1102 whether or not a big hit state is in progress. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1102, this processing is terminated as it is. If a negative determination is made in step S1102, it is determined whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated in step S1103. If a negative determination is made in step S1103, the present process is terminated as it is.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1103, it is determined in step S1104 whether a menu screen is being displayed. If a negative determination is made in step S1104, the menu screen (top menu) is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 in step S1105, and then this process is terminated.

  As shown in FIG. 11, on the menu screen (top menu), “password input (game start)”, “code issue (first registration / game end)”, “stage select”, “customize”, “end” operations The item is displayed. When the cursor is moved by operating the cross button 126 and the effect button 125 is operated, the corresponding subpage is opened (or the menu screen is closed).

  If the determination in step S1104 is affirmative, in step S1106, a password selection operation (operating the effect button 125 in a state where the cursor is positioned on the operation item of “password input (game start)”) is performed. It is determined whether or not. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1106, the password input screen is displayed in step S1107, and the process is terminated.

  As shown in FIG. 12, on the password input screen, “A to Z” and “1 to 9” alphanumeric characters, “Delete one character”, “Determine” and “Return” used for the password are displayed. At the same time, in order to divide and display the eight-character word input as the password one by one, a word display section composed of eight frames (cells) existing side by side is displayed. In addition, the password input screen displays an alphanumeric character used for the password, an input cursor indicating whether “erasing”, “decision”, or “return” is selected, and a word display composed of 8 frames. When an alphanumeric character is selected with the input cursor and an input operation is performed, an input location cursor indicating which frame the alphanumeric character is input is displayed.

  In the present embodiment, the upper three digits (the three characters on the left) of the password indicate information set according to the game information that is information relating to the player's game, and the lower five digits (the five characters on the right) Characters) indicate information set according to selection information (and residual information when residual information described later is set), which is information related to the player's hobby preference. Thus, by separating the information, it becomes easier to read the content of the password when executing the process according to the password on the pachinko machine 10 side, and the process can be simplified.

  In the present embodiment, by inputting the password issued from the server, the balance of effects changes compared to the case where the game is played without entering the password, or it is derived in the case of the mobile-linked game. An effect that can be derived can be derived. Hereinafter, a game performed by inputting a password is referred to as a “mobile linked game”, and a game performed without inputting a password is referred to as a “no mobile linked game”.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1106, a code operation (operating the effect button 125 in a state where the cursor is set to the operation item of “code issuance (initial registration / game end)”) is performed in step S1108. Determine whether it was done. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1108, the code issuance screen is displayed in step S1109, and the process is terminated.

  Although illustration is omitted, on the code issue screen, operation items of “initial registration”, “code issue (game end)”, and “return to top menu” are displayed. In addition, a QR code is displayed on each subpage corresponding to “code issuance (initial registration / game end)”.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1108, it is determined in step S1110 whether or not a stage selection operation (operating the effect button 125 with the cursor placed on the operation item “stage selection”) has been performed. Determine. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1110, the stage selection screen is displayed in step S1111, and the process ends.

  In the present embodiment, in a normal game state in which a variable display is performed, there are provided three stages: a diving stage, a cruising stage, and a deep sea search stage in which the background, appearance characters, and the like change and the production method also changes. Correspondingly, selection items corresponding to each of these three stages are displayed on the stage selection screen, and the stage is moved to the corresponding stage by operating the effect button 125 with the cursor positioned. . When the selection operation is performed, the menu screen is automatically terminated. Further, when the effect button 125 is operated during the variable display (in a state where the button effect using the effect button 125 is not performed), the stage is switched one by one each time the operation button 125 is operated.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1110, it is determined in step S1112 whether or not a customization operation (operating the effect button 125 in a state where the cursor is placed on the operation item “customize”) has been performed. . If an affirmative determination is made in step S1112, the customization screen is displayed in step S1113, and then this process ends.

  In the present embodiment, as a customization function, the design of the appearance character displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 of the pachinko machine 10 is slightly changed, the player selects a character or sound that appears in a predetermined production, etc. Can do that. Furthermore, although the customization function cannot be used in the no-mobile linked game, the customized function is gradually enhanced by clearing a predetermined condition regarding the game in the mobile linked game.

  If the determination in step S1112 is negative, it is determined in step S1114 whether or not an end operation (operating the effect button 125 with the cursor placed on the “end” operation item) has been performed. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1114, the menu screen is closed in step S1115, and the process is terminated. On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S1114, this processing is terminated as it is.

  Next, processing related to password input (password input processing) will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S1201, it is determined whether or not the password input screen is opened in the decorative symbol display device 42. If a negative determination is made in step S1201, this processing is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S1201, it is determined in step S1202 whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated. If a negative determination is made in step S1202, the present process is terminated as it is.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1202, whether or not the input operation returns to the top menu is determined in step S1203. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1203, the process proceeds to step S1204, the top menu is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, and the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S1203, it is determined in step S1205 whether or not a mobile-linked game is in progress. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1205, the present process ends. On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S1205, it is determined in step S1206 whether or not it is an input operation for each word constituting the password. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1206, in step S1207, the word specified by the input cursor is displayed on the frame of the word display portion specified by the input location cursor, and then this process ends.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1206, it is determined in step S1208 whether or not the operation is to delete one character from the word input on the word display unit. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1208, in step S1209, a word is not yet input to the word of the frame designated by the input location cursor in the word display section or the frame designated by the input location cursor. In this case, the process of erasing the word of the previous frame (one left) is performed, and then this process is terminated.

  In addition, when a negative determination is made in step S1208, that is, when the player has finished inputting the password in the word display portion, and operates the effect button 125 in a state where the input cursor is set to the “decide” operation item. In step S1210, password authentication processing is performed. In a succeeding step S1211, it is determined whether or not the input word combination is registered as a password combination. That is, not all the combinations of alphanumeric characters described above are used as passwords, and there are combinations that are not used.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1211, an input error display process is performed in step S1212 and the process is terminated. In other words, in the input error display process, a message such as “password is different” is displayed, and an operation item for obtaining the player's consent is displayed with the cursor selected from the beginning, and the player operates the effect button 125. Then, settings are made to return to the password input screen.

  If a negative determination is made in step S1211, password reflection processing is performed in step S1213 to reflect the information included in the input password in the game of the pachinko machine 10. As will be described in detail later, the password is given a change rank that is given to the password in accordance with the number of times of change display (change number of times) performed on the special display devices 43L and 43R (decorative symbol display device 42) when the player plays. And whether or not the jackpot rank given according to the number of times the jackpot state has occurred (number of jackpots) and the first to third premium reach as specific predetermined effects have been derived. Information on the history rank given accordingly is included, as well as information on the player's favorite game and the like.

  After step S1213, the remaining number setting process is performed in step S1214, and then this process is terminated. Details of the remaining number setting process and the password reflection process will be described later for convenience of explanation.

  Next, processing relating to the issuance of QR codes (code issuance processing) will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S1301, it is determined whether or not the code issuance screen is open in the decorative symbol display device. If a negative determination is made in step S1301, this processing is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S1301, it is determined in step S1302 whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated. If a negative determination is made in step S1302, this processing is terminated as it is.

  On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S1302, it is determined in step S1303 whether the input operation returns to the top menu. If a negative determination is made in step S1303, it is determined in step S1304 whether or not a mobile linked game is in progress. If a negative determination is made in step S1304, the present process is terminated as it is.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1304, it is determined in step S1305 whether or not it is initial registration. If a negative determination is made in step S1305, in step S1306, a QR code is set based on the game data of the player and displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42.

  In the present embodiment, the QR code displayed on the “code issuance (game end)” subpage includes a gaming machine ID for identifying the pachinko machine 10, an address of a server operated by the gaming machine manufacturer, and a lottery performed at the time of gaming. Game information, which is information related to the selection, and selection information, which is information related to selection by operating the cross button 126 or the effect button 125, and is expressed by a character string in a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) format when read by a mobile communication terminal. Converted to information. That is, on the display of the mobile communication terminal, the character string indicating the address of the server or the character string indicating the game information is displayed, and the game information is transmitted to the server by accessing the server. Become.

  The sub-control device 262 of this embodiment includes a game information storage area as game information storage means capable of storing and storing game information, and a selection information storage area as selection information storage means capable of storing and storing selection information. Yes.

  The game information of this embodiment includes the number of changes, the number of jackpots, and information on whether or not the first to third premium reach has been derived. Correspondingly, in the game information storage area, a fluctuation number counter for counting the number of fluctuations in the mobile linked gaming state, a jackpot counter for counting the number of jackpots in the mobile linked gaming state, and a first in the mobile linked gaming state. Three experienced flags that are turned on when the third various premium reach are derived are provided. In the present embodiment, the variation counter and the big hit counter constitute game information counting means.

  Note that only the first premium reach out of the first to third premium reach can be derived in the initial state even in the non-mobile linked game state or the mobile linked game state. On the other hand, if the first premium reach is derived even once in the mobile linked gaming state, the second premium reach can be derived in the subsequent mobile linked gaming state and has already been derived. The derivation probability of the first premium reach is increased. Further, when the second premium reach is derived in a state where the second premium reach can be derived, the third premium reach can be derived and the first and second premiums that have already been derived. The reach derivation probability is increased. Further, when the third premium reach is derived in a state where the third premium reach can be derived, the derivation probabilities of the first to third premium reach are increased.

  In addition, in the mobile linked gaming state, when the first premium reach is derived, the first experienced flag is turned on, and when the second premium reach is derived, the second experienced flag is turned on and the third premium When reach is derived, the third experienced flag is turned on. Incidentally, the premium reach corresponds to “16RS”, and when the premium reach is derived, it is possible to grasp that the jackpot state of “16RS” occurs at that time. In the present embodiment, when the probability of occurrence of premium reach is increased, the probability that odd-numbered double-eyed eyes will stop when the variable display is stopped when winning a promising big hit is reduced accordingly. .

  The selection information of this embodiment includes the number of fluctuations in each stage in the normal gaming state, that is, the “diving stage”, “cruising stage”, and “deep sea search stage”.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, three stages are prepared even in the big hit state. More specifically, in the present embodiment, when even-numbered double-eyed eyes are stopped and displayed during variation display, it is actually a probable big hit, and when odd-numbered double-eyes are stopped and displayed, it is actually “16RS”. A player suddenly announces at the start of the jackpot round, a “final notification stage” that announces at the end of the seventh round, and a player selects a production button 125 or the like in any of the first to seventh rounds. There is a “chance production stage” from which a promotion production to participate in is derived. Then, a selection screen for selecting a stage is displayed at the start of the jackpot state, and when the effect button 125 is operated with the cursor corresponding to an option corresponding to the desired stage with the cross button, the jackpot round is started at the corresponding stage. It becomes. In the present embodiment, the number of selections of “sudden notification stage”, “final notification stage”, and “chance production stage” is also selection information.

  In addition, in the present embodiment, a display prompting the operation of the effect button 125 is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, whether or not the effect button 125 is operated (pressed) within the set period, and the number of operations of the effect button 125 (number of repeated hits). ) May produce a button effect such that the effect that is derived in response to change occurs. In the present embodiment, whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated at the time of the button effect and how many times the effect button 125 has been operated are also the selection information.

  Correspondingly, in the selection information storage area, a stay stage counter that counts the number of fluctuations in the “diving stage”, “cruising stage”, “deep sea search stage”, “sudden notification stage”, “final notification” A jackpot stage selection counter that counts the number of selections of “stage” and “chance production stage”, a button counter that is counted when no operation of the production button 125 is performed at the time of button production, and a production button 125 at the time of button production. There is provided a continuous hitting counter for counting the total number of operations. In particular, in this embodiment, two sets of stay stage counters, jackpot stage selection counters, button counters, and repeated hit counters are provided for individuals and for statistics.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, a questionnaire may be conducted during the big hit state. For example, when the value of the questionnaire execution counter that can take a value of “0 to 16” is acquired at the start of the jackpot state, and the value is “1”, the decorative symbol is displayed at the start of the second round. A questionnaire display is derived on the display device 42.

  As the questionnaire display, first, a screen as to whether or not to cooperate with the questionnaire is displayed, and only when there is an input to cooperate with the questionnaire by operating the effect button 125 and the cross button 126, the next page of the questionnaire display is displayed. If there is an input operation indicating that there is no cooperation, or if the corresponding input operation is not performed even after the predetermined period has passed (even after the round in which the questionnaire display is started), The display ends.

  Correspondingly, the sub-control device 262 includes a questionnaire result storage area in which information on questionnaire answers (questions and answers) is stored.

  In step S1304, the stored contents of the variation counter, jackpot counter, and experienced flag that are game information, and the stay stage counter, jackpot stage selection counter, button counter, and consecutive hit counters that are selection information Both the stored contents for use and statistics and the stored contents of the questionnaire result storage area are encoded and included in the QR code.

  In addition, on the display of the mobile communication terminal that has read the QR code, as shown in the upper center of FIG. 15, the character string indicating the server address is followed by the variable display count, the jackpot count, and the first to third premium reach. Information on whether or not it was derived, the number of changes in the “diving stage”, the number of changes in the “cruising stage”, the number of changes in the “deep sea search stage”, the number of selections of the “sudden notification stage”, and the “final notification stage” Information indicating the number of times selected, the number of times selected for the “chance production stage”, the type of questionnaire executed, and the answer. In FIG. 15, for convenience, a character string indicating game information or selection information is indicated by “·”.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, “-” is used as a character string delimiter indicating each game information and each selection information. In addition, the number of characters constituting each character string indicating each game information and each selection information is not constant, for example, one character when the number of fluctuations is 1, and four characters when 5000 times. It changes depending on the contents to be shown. That is, by determining the order in which character strings indicating game information and selection information are arranged and the delimiter characters, the number of character strings indicating each piece of information can be changed. Thereby, when the amount of information is small, the number of characters can be reduced as much as possible, and communication time can be reduced (communication charge can be suppressed).

  By the way, as a character string indicating game information and selection information, for example, if it indicates that the number of fluctuations is 1000 and the number of jackpots is 2, the mobile communication terminal simply indicates “1000-02” or the like. Although it may be displayed on the display, if such a correspondence is an easy-to-understand display, such numbers may be tampered with in the mobile communication terminal, and false information may be sent to the server There is. For this reason, in the present embodiment, such game information and selection information are encrypted, and for example, if the number of fluctuations is 1000 and the number of jackpots is 2 is indicated as “E7L1-MQT” or the like The display of the mobile communication terminal is displayed so that the user does not know the correspondence between the character string and its specific contents (such as the number of changes). In addition, since the rules regarding encryption (encryption / decryption) are unified on the pachinko machine 10 side and the server side, information can be exchanged reliably.

  If many types of questionnaires are conducted between the previous game information and selection information transmission and the present time, the amount of data in the next game information and selection information transmission may become enormous. Even when the questionnaire is not implemented as in the present embodiment, the next game information or selection information is also stored when more types of information are stored and stored as game information or selection information and sent to the server. There is a risk that the amount of data in the transmission of will be enormous. In this case, it is conceivable to set an upper limit on the amount of information transmitted at one time in order to reduce the communication time and communication charge. In such a configuration, by reducing the number of characters as much as possible when the amount of information is small, the number of types of information that can be sent at one time is increased, or it can not be sent in the previous transmission, and accumulated on the pachinko machine 10 side It can be transmitted including information. In addition, the character used to delimit the character string is not particularly limited and can be set as appropriate.In addition, a plurality of types of characters are used as delimiters, and the types of delimiters and predetermined meanings are used. May be associated. In addition, the delimiter character is set between character strings, but a predetermined character can be added to the beginning of each character string to replace the character as a delimiter character. In addition, when indicating that the predetermined condition is not satisfied zero times, it may be indicated by a character string other than the first character, but it is configured to indicate that by arranging the delimiters continuously. May be. In this case, the number of characters can be further reduced.

  In the present embodiment, a stage or button effect that can be selected by the player operating the effect button 125 or the cross button 126 constitutes a selection effect. Furthermore, the function that enables deriving the stage and the button effect changed by the button operation constitutes the selection effect deriving means.

  On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S1305, in step S1307, a QR code corresponding to the initial registration is set and displayed, and then the present process is terminated. The QR code displayed on the “first registration” subpage includes a gaming machine ID, a URL of the server, and information indicating the first game. Although the game information and the selection information are not included in the QR code registered for the first time, the game code and the selection information are always included in the QR code after the next time.

  If an affirmative determination is made in step S1303, it is determined in step S1308 whether a QR code is being displayed. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1308, in step S1309, a process for deleting the player's personal game data stored in the pachinko machine 10 is performed, and then the present process ends. More specifically, in step S1309, the variation counter, the jackpot counter, and the experienced flag are reset (the counter value is set to 0 and the flag is turned off), and the stay stage counter, the jackpot stage selection counter, The personal counter among the button counter and the continuous hit counter is reset.

  Of the stay stage counter, jackpot stage selection counter, button counter, and continuous hit counter, those for statistics are not reset at this time. The questionnaire result storage area is only for statistics. The statistical storage area and the questionnaire result storage area are configured so that selection information for one week can be distinguished and stored for each day, and information past one week is stored based on a date counter for counting dates. It is configured to be erased.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the variation counter, the jackpot counter, the personal stay stage counter, the jackpot stage selection counter, the button counter, the count to the consecutive hit counter, and the storage in the experienced flag are mobile linked games. Only done. On the other hand, counting to the stay stage counter for statistics, the jackpot stage selection counter, the button counter, the continuous hit counter, and the storage in the questionnaire result storage area are performed not only in the mobile linked game but also in the non-mobile linked game. Is called. Corresponding to these configurations, the QR code includes individual player game information and selection information, and one week selection information and questionnaire information including not only the player but also other players. Set to be included.

  If a negative determination is made in step S 1308, the process proceeds to step S 1310, the top menu is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, and the process ends. In this embodiment, the decorative symbol display device 42 corresponds to a display unit, and the function of displaying the QR code in the decorative symbol display device 42 constitutes an information output unit.

  Next, server-side processing (access handling processing) when there is an access from a predetermined mobile communication terminal (for example, a mobile phone or a smartphone) will be described with reference to FIG. The mobile communication terminal includes reading means (camera, decoder, etc.) that can read the QR code displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, communication means that can communicate with the server, and data (web page) supplied from the server. Etc.) and portable display means (display) capable of displaying. In addition, the server receives, from the mobile communication terminal, a variation counter, a jackpot counter, an experienced flag, a personal and statistical stay stage counter, a jackpot stage selection counter, a button counter, and a repeated hit counter, and a questionnaire result A host-side game information storage area (including a host-side variation counter, a host-side jackpot counter, and a host-side experienced flag so that these information can be stored when information about the storage area is transmitted. Host-side game information storage means), host-side selection information storage area (host-side game) comprising a host-side stay stage counter for personal and statistical use, a host-side jackpot stage selection counter, a host-side button counter, and a host-side repeated counter Information storage means) and a questionnaire result storage area on the host side. It is. In the present embodiment, the host-side variation counter and the host-side jackpot counter constitute host-side game information counting means.

  First, in step S1401, it is determined whether or not there is an access from a mobile communication terminal. If a negative determination is made in step S1401, this processing is terminated as it is. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1401, it is determined in step S1402 whether or not the information transmitted for the first time is included in the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal.

  If the determination in step S1402 is affirmative, in step S1403, the game that has accessed the storage area on the host side (host-side game information storage area, host-side selection information storage area) via the mobile communication terminal. A process for setting a storage area (individual game information storage area, personal selection information storage area) for storing and storing game information and selection information of the individual person is performed.

  In step S1404, the process of displaying the initial web page corresponding to the access using the initial QR code is performed on the display of the mobile communication terminal, and then the process ends. More specifically, after a formal user registration, a password for the first time is displayed (the password is issued even if there is no entry in the user registration). The first-time password includes information indicating that it is the first game. In step S1404, cookie information is stored in the accessed mobile communication terminal. As a result, when the mobile communication terminal accesses the server from the next time onward, the cookie information is also transmitted to the server. The player can grasp which stored data the mobile communication terminal of the player has accessed, and perform a corresponding display. In addition, you may comprise so that it may log in by inputting an ID password every time it accesses a server.

  In addition, when a negative determination is made in step S1402, that is, when access based on a QR code issued after the first time is received, in step S1405, information on the number of changes (changes) is obtained from the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal. Information indicating the value of the number counter) is added, the current number of fluctuations is added to the number of fluctuations already stored in the host side fluctuation number counter, and the calculated value is newly stored in the host side fluctuation number counter.

  In subsequent step S1406, the jackpot number information (information indicating the value of the jackpot counter) is read from the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal, and the current jackpot number is stored in the host side jackpot counter. And the value after the calculation is newly stored in the host side jackpot counter.

  Further, in step S1407, premium reach occurrence information (information indicating an experienced flag that has been turned on) is read from information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal, and if the occurrence is confirmed, the corresponding host side has experienced. Turn on the flag.

  Thereafter, a change rank determination process is performed in step S1408. In this embodiment, ranking is performed according to how much the player has played the mobile linked game, and the higher the rank, the more the functions of the production, or the balance of the production changes more greatly than in the initial state. Or The determination of the rank is basically performed in the server. In step S1408, by determining whether or not the number of changes stored in the host-side change number counter is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of times, The rank (variation rank) related to the number of changes is determined. In the present embodiment, the change rank can be updated to the second rank by performing change display 1000 times in the first rank (initial rank). Moreover, although it is 3000 rotations from 2nd rank to 3rd rank, after that, 5000 rotations are required in order to update one rank. In addition, if the pachinko machine 10 is played in the game hall from the start of business to the end of business, depending on the business hours and the contents of the game, the total number of display of the fluctuation will be approximately 3000 rotations, and the ranks will be ranked in one day from the second rank. It is difficult to raise the rank, but if it is the first rank, the rank can be improved if there is a half day.

  In the subsequent step S1409, a big hit rank determination process is performed. In this embodiment, the jackpot rank can be updated to the second rank by executing the jackpot state 10 times in the first rank (initial rank). Moreover, although it is 30 times from the 2nd rank to the 3rd rank and 50 times from the 3rd rank to the 4th rank, 80 times are required to update one rank thereafter. In addition, if the pachinko machine 10 is played in the game hall from the start of business to the end of business, depending on the business hours and luck, the total number of jackpots will be about 25, and after the second rank, the rank will increase in one day. Although it is difficult, if it is the first rank, it can be expected to improve in one day.

  In subsequent step S1410, a history rank determination process is performed. In the present embodiment, the career rank is derived from the first rank in which the premium reach has not been derived during the mobile linked game and only the first premium reach can be derived, and the first premium reach in the first rank. In this way, the second premium reach can be derived, and the second premium reach has been derived in the second rank in which the first premium reach derivation probability is increased, and the second rank, As a result, the third premium reach can be derived, and the third premium reach has been derived in the third rank and the third rank where the derivation probability of the first and second premium reach is increased. The fourth rank increases the derivation probability of the first to third premium reach.

  In subsequent step S1411, various selection information (information indicating the values of both personal and statistical stay stage counters, jackpot stage selection counters, button counters, and repeated hit counters) is obtained from the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal. A process of reading and adding to the corresponding counter is performed, or a process of setting a corresponding flag is performed. In this embodiment, not only the individual player selection information but also the selection information of other players who played the pachinko machine 10 played by the player is transmitted via the mobile communication terminal. The individual selection information is stored in the personal selection information storage area that can store the individual player selection information in the host-side game information storage area, and the selection information including other players is the player who plays the same model. The entire selection information is stored in the entire game information storage area. In step S1411, the process of storing the questionnaire information included in the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal in the host-side questionnaire result storage area is also executed.

  Thereafter, in step S1412, a process of displaying a web page reflecting the rank determined in steps S1408 to S1410, the accumulated data of the selection information added in step S1411, and the like on the display of the mobile communication terminal is performed. Then, this process is terminated. The web page is based on a “spec” that teaches specifications such as the jackpot probability of the pachinko machine 10, “individual data management” that can confirm a player's individual game record, accumulated game information, and selection information There is an operation item such as “issue password” that can issue a new password. In the present embodiment, the functions of steps S1408 to S1410 constitute rank determining means.

  Next, processing for issuing a password (password issuing processing) will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, in step S1501, it is determined whether or not an operation for issuing a password has been performed. If a negative determination is made in step S1501, this processing is terminated as it is. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1501, remaining information determination processing is performed in step S1502.

  In the remaining information determination process, the current fluctuation rank is confirmed to grasp the next fluctuation rank, and the value that is determined in advance as the total number of fluctuations necessary for the update to the next fluctuation rank is grasped. , The value obtained by subtracting the number of fluctuations stored in the host side fluctuation number counter, that is, how many remaining fluctuation display are required to update to the next fluctuation rank, and the host side remaining fluctuation number storage area Temporarily store. Further, it is determined whether or not the calculated number is less than 1000 times. If the calculated number is 1000 times or more, the number of times stored in the host-side remaining big hit number storage area is deleted.

  Further, in the remaining information determination process, the current jackpot rank is confirmed to grasp the next jackpot rank, the predetermined number as the total number of jackpots necessary for updating to the next jackpot rank is grasped, and the Calculates the value obtained by subtracting the number of jackpots stored in the host jackpot counter from the value, that is, how many jackpots are needed to update to the next jackpot rank, and stores the host jackpot count Temporarily store in the area. Further, it is determined whether or not the calculated number is less than 30. If the calculated number is 30 or more, the number stored in the host-side remaining big hit count storage area is erased. In the present embodiment, the function of the remaining information determination process constitutes a calculation unit and an allowable value determination unit.

  After step S1502, in step S1503, the change rank, jackpot rank, career rank, individual player selection information, the value of the host side remaining change count storage area, and the value of the host side remaining change count storage area are referred to. Perform password setting process to set password. If a value other than “0” is stored in the host-side remaining variation count storage area and the host-side remaining variation count storage area, the remaining information indicating the value is included in the password. In other words, in the case where there are 1000 or more remaining before reaching the next fluctuation rank, or 30 or more remaining until reaching the next jackpot rank, the remaining information is not included in the password.

  The sub-control device 262 of the pachinko machine 10 includes a rank storage area for storing the change rank, the jackpot rank, and the history rank. In the password reflection process (see step S1213 in FIG. 9), the remaining information from the password is stored. Is read, the corresponding information is stored in the rank storage area. Thereby, it becomes possible to enjoy the production according to the rank. In the present embodiment, it is possible to select a design of a character appearing at a predetermined performance and a sound pattern output at a predetermined timing according to the change rank and the big hit rank. For example, when super reach is performed, the value stored in the rank storage area may be confirmed, and a corresponding effect table may be selected from a plurality of effect tables. The stored contents of the rank storage area are simultaneously deleted when the QR code issued in the code issuing process is deleted (see step S1309 in FIG. 10).

  Further, the sub-control device 262 includes a preference information storage area that can store information (preference information) based on the selection information accumulated by the individual player, and responds when the preference information is read from the password. Information is stored in the preference information storage area. As preference information of the present embodiment, information indicating the most selected stage in the normal gaming state, information indicating the most selected stage in the jackpot state, or whether there is a tendency to operate the effect button 125 during the button effect There is information to show. In the password reflection process, when the menu screen display is closed, the process automatically shifts to the most selected stage in the normal gaming state, and at the start of the jackpot state, the selection cursor is displayed on the stage selection screen. A process of setting so that the operation item for selecting the most selected stage is aimed from the beginning and a process of increasing or decreasing the derivation ratio of the button effect (changing the selected effect table) are performed. Note that the stored contents of the preference information storage area are simultaneously deleted when the QR code issued in the code issuing process is deleted.

  In addition, as described above, in this embodiment, there is a possibility that a questionnaire will be conducted during the jackpot (second round), but the contents stored in the preference information storage area also reflect the question contents of the questionnaire. Is done. For example, in the non-mobile-linked game state, “How many times does this model play? 1; First time; 2; Second to fourth times, 3; More than 5 times”, “How many times a month in the game hall 1; 1 time or less, 2; 2 to 4 times, 3; 5 times or more, "Which stage do you hate? 1; Diving stage, 2; Cruising stage, 3; Deep sea search stage" etc. Is selected. On the other hand, in the mobile-linked gaming state, in addition to the question content in the non-mobile-linked gaming state (some may be omitted), the stage in the normal gaming state most selected by the player is What do you like? 1; Production, 2; Character, 3; Others ”,“ What do you like about production? 1; Step-up notice, 2; Super reach, 3; Button production ” Selected. The number of questions is limited to three during a single jackpot state, and the questionnaire display ends with the end of the third round without answering three questions.

  Further, the sub-control device 262 includes a remaining variation count storage area (counter) and a remaining large hit count storage area (counter) as remaining number storage means, and a remaining variation flag and a remaining winning flag corresponding to these, respectively. When the remaining information is read from the password, in the remaining number setting process (step S1214), the remaining number is set for the remaining variation number storage area and the remaining big hit number storage area, and the corresponding remaining variation flag and remaining number are set. Turn on the winning flag. Thereafter, whenever the remaining variation flag is turned on, the value of the remaining variation number storage area is decremented by 1 every time the variation display is performed, and each time a jackpot state occurs when the remaining winning flag is turned on. 1 is subtracted from the value of the remaining number of hits storage area. When the value of the corresponding remaining variation count storage area or remaining jackpot count storage area becomes “0” in a state where the corresponding remaining variation flag or remaining winning flag is turned on, the variation rank or jackpot rank is updated by one rank. As a result, the value of the corresponding rank storage area is changed (added by 1) so that the processing corresponding to the new rank is executed.

  The remaining variation count storage area, the remaining big hit count storage area, and the two remaining setting flags are reset simultaneously when the QR code issued in the code issuing process is deleted. Further, for example, in response to the rank increase, the event display may be generated over a plurality of variable displays in the decorative symbol display device 42. That is, by checking the value of the remaining variation count storage area and the remaining big hit count storage area, it is possible to grasp the remaining number of times until ranking up, so when the variation display to rank up is suspended (for example, remaining variation count storage area Or the countdown of the value of the remaining number of bonuses storage area is performed when the start winning unit 33 is won (start winning process), and all the values held when the value becomes “0”, or , A series of displays (for example, a remaining variation count storage area and a remaining big hit count storage) (for example, a variation display where the value of the remaining variation count storage area and the remaining big hit count storage area is “0”) Display to prepare for the party for the variable display where the value of the area becomes “0”, the remaining variation count storage area and the remaining big hit count storage area The party is displayed in the variable display where the value is “0”, and a predetermined change occurs in the appearance character (for example, the clothes change), and the changed mode is continuously maintained in the subsequent variable display. You may comprise.

  After step S1503, in step S1504, the password is displayed, and the process is terminated. Note that the functions of steps S1503 and S1504 constitute password issuing means.

  As described above in detail, according to the present embodiment, game information (variation counter, jackpot) stored and stored in the game information storage area for the QR code displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 of the pachinko machine 10. Number counter and experienced flag value), the selection information stored in the selection information storage area (both personal and statistical stay stage counter, jackpot stage selection counter, button counter) , And the value of the counter hit counter). In other words, for the purpose of grasping the information and customer needs that the player wants to know or collect in order to use it as a reference material for the player's own game, or to receive services according to the game history. A set of information that the machine manufacturer wants to know. For this reason, the player can send information useful for both the player side and the gaming machine manufacturer side to the server by reading the QR code with the portable communication terminal after the game and communicating with the server. In particular, the selection information is fast, accurate, and broad (so you can get a response from a larger number of players) to avoid situations where the information is out of date, off-target, or too biased. Can do. Furthermore, in this embodiment, a person who selects a predetermined stage can also obtain fine data such as few button operations. As a result, since fresh and accurate information can be obtained sequentially, such good information can be utilized to develop a new model that meets the player's expectations. In other words, while retaining the elements that are popular with the player, inheriting the previous goodness, the elements that are not popular are scraped for simplification, or replaced with another element to suppress the complexity. While making new attempts.

  Further, in the present embodiment, only the game information in the mobile linked game state from when the password input operation is performed until the QR code including the game information and selection information is displayed is stored in the game information storage area. Remembered. For this reason, the game information of the individual player can be reliably stored, and the data storage capacity of the game information in the pachinko machine 10 can be suppressed as much as possible.

  Furthermore, in the selection information storage area, a storage area for individual players that stores selection information of individual players (in the game), and a statistical information that stores selection information of all the players who have played the pachinko machine 10 The statistics storage area stores not only the selection information in the mobile-linked gaming state but also the selection information in the non-mobile-linked gaming state. Therefore, selection information other than the player who sent the data is also sent. Thereby, more selection information can be obtained in the server.

  In addition, the stored contents of the game information storage area and the stored contents of the personal storage area of the selected information storage area are displayed when a QR code is displayed and the mobile linked game is terminated. On the other hand, regarding the storage contents of the storage area for statistics in the selection information storage area, the QR code is displayed and the mobile linked game is left without disappearing. For this reason, it is possible to send more selection information to the server (send selection information for other players together) while suppressing the data storage capacity in the pachinko machine 10 as much as possible. Furthermore, for example, when the QR code is displayed, the stored contents of the storage area for statistics in the selected information storage area are erased. For example, the player can display the QR code at the end of the game. However, when the act of reading the QR code and transmitting it to the server is not performed, the selection information of the player (and the game in the mobile linked game is not performed immediately before the player plays the mobile linked game). If it has been performed, the selection information accumulated and stored at that time) is not sent to the server and does not remain on the pachinko machine 10 side. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, the stored contents of the storage area for statistics in the selection information storage area remain even after the QR code is displayed, so there is a possibility that other players may send it to the server. Left behind. Therefore, the effect of obtaining more selection information is more reliably achieved.

  In the server, the game information stored in the host-side game information storage area, and the selection information stored in the personal storage area of the player in this example among the selection information stored in the host-side selection information storage area, A password corresponding to the is issued. More specifically, the password includes not only rank information indicating each rank given in accordance with the accumulated game information but also information indicating a player's hobby preference found from the accumulated selection information. Set to For this reason, the player's individual selection information, that is, the player's hobbies and preferences can be reflected in the game, and the player's personal taste preference is produced according to the tendency of the players' personal preferences. (In this example, in a normal gaming state, entering a password automatically switches to a stage preferred by the player or increases or decreases the frequency of button effects). As a result, it is possible to improve the gameability by retrofitting, and in this embodiment, in particular, the player learns that the gaming machine becomes familiar with the player as the game is repeated, and plays the game well. Can do. In addition, it is possible to eliminate the situation where the same operation must be performed every time in order to make the pachinko machine 10 in a state that the player can select within a range that can be selected by the player (for example, to a stage that the user likes). Furthermore, since the production balance also changes as needed according to the accumulation state of the selection information, it is possible to suppress rut.

  Moreover, according to this embodiment, a questionnaire effect may be derived during the big hit state. In this way, by conducting the questionnaire, it is possible to obtain information that cannot be grasped simply by counting selection effects. For example, it is possible to ask for a disliked (uninteresting) production or to ask why a particular production is liked. Therefore, more information can be collected, and a situation where a gaming machine that does not meet the player's needs can be more reliably avoided.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the contents of the questionnaire can be changed according to information based on the selection information included in the password input to the pachinko machine 10 (information on the player's hobbies and preferences). That is, for example, when the player himself has selected an overwhelmingly large number of diving stages in the past, “Please tell me why you like the diving stage. 1; It is also possible to display "2: I like the appearance character. 3; I like the sound." Therefore, a more detailed survey can be performed, and higher-quality questionnaire data can be obtained. In addition, even if the number of questions is reduced or the number of questions is reduced, it is possible to make an efficient transition to a detailed question, and as a player, the survey is relatively smooth (without feeling much stress). I can answer.

  If a large number of questions are prepared and randomly derived, the questions may be biased or may be inappropriate questions about the player's hobbies, but in this embodiment, the exact questions Can be derived. Therefore, the questionnaire can be conducted efficiently, a more favorable answer can be obtained, the number of derivation of the questionnaire production can be reduced, and the player is disgusted by the questionnaire production being derived many times during the game. The situation of feeling can be suppressed.

  In addition, in the questionnaire production, an inquiry to ask whether or not to participate in the questionnaire is displayed first, and the contents of the questionnaire (question) are displayed only when an operation indicating participation in the questionnaire is performed, and an operation indicating non-participation in the questionnaire The questionnaire contents are configured not to be displayed when an operation is performed or no corresponding operation is performed within a predetermined period. For this reason, it is possible to respect the intention of a player who does not want to participate in the questionnaire. In addition, despite the fact that the player does not intend to participate in the questionnaire, the display shifts to the contents of the questionnaire, and no operation is performed here, or the player does not confirm the contents of the question. It is possible to suppress a situation in which the accuracy of the questionnaire result is significantly reduced due to making different selections (simply striking the production button 125) or the like.

  Further, in the present embodiment, ranking is performed according to the number of fluctuations, the number of jackpots, and presence / absence of premium reach derivation experience, and it is possible to change the contents of the production according to the rank. That is, it is possible to derive an effect that could not be derived until now, or to enhance a customization function. Furthermore, determination of rank update and accumulation of game information for a plurality of games are performed in the server. Therefore, in order to update the rank, it is necessary to repeat the mobile-linked game, so that the player actively participates in the mobile-linked game, and therefore, more selection information is provided. it can.

  Further, in a configuration in which the total game information is accumulated and stored on the server side, even when the rank update condition is cleared in the game, the rank is not updated unless information indicating that is transmitted to the server side. Therefore, the update of the rank is reflected from the next game.

  However, the game starts from a short time until the number of fluctuations and the number of jackpots reaches a predetermined number of times that is predetermined as a condition for updating the rank. Without considering the steps of displaying the QR code, accessing the server, and entering the issued password, there is a concern that the change in production corresponding to the new rank cannot be enjoyed. For this reason, a player who has achieved the rank update condition and wishes to fully enjoy the corresponding performance will have the extra time of temporarily ending the game as described above. In addition, even after the conditions for rank update are achieved, the number of fluctuations and jackpots are accumulated without accessing the server, so that the period during which the performance corresponding to the next updated rank can be enjoyed is significantly shortened. Or, it is possible to achieve a condition of jumping up one rank and updating it to the second rank, leading to a situation where the opportunity to enjoy the production corresponding to the one rank is lost. There is.

  In this regard, according to the present embodiment, in the server, the difference between the total number of executions of the number of fluctuations and the jackpot number is less than an allowable value (the number of fluctuations is less than 1000) In the case where it is determined that the number of jackpots is less than 30), the password is configured to include the remaining information indicating the number of fluctuations and the number of jackpots up to the specified number. For this reason, it is possible to change the effect corresponding to the rank update without once ending the game. Therefore, as long as the conditions for rank update are cleared in the game, it is possible to derive an effect corresponding to the new rank without causing the player to spend extra time. Furthermore, it is possible to give a sufficient opportunity to enjoy the production corresponding to each rank.

  Furthermore, if the difference between the total number of executions of the number of fluctuations and the number of jackpots and the specified number of times that is predetermined as a rank update condition is greater than or equal to an allowable value, the password is not included in the remaining information. ing. As described above, since the remaining information is not necessarily included in the password, the total number of password patterns can be reduced as much as possible. In general, the combination of words constituting a password when entering a password requires not only combinations that allow entry but also combinations that do not allow entry. If the total number of combinations of password words is large, the password It is necessary to lengthen the password or increase the number of types of words that can be selected when entering the password. Therefore, by reducing the total number of password patterns as much as possible, the password can be shortened or the number of words that can be selected when entering the password can be reduced as much as possible, improving the operability when the player enters the password. Etc. can be achieved. As a result, since the password input operation is difficult, the input work is avoided, and the game cycle through the mobile communication terminal and the server stops there. As a result, the opportunity for obtaining data (selection information) about the player is reduced. Can be prevented.

  Further, the sub-control device 262 of the pachinko machine 10 includes a remaining variation count storage area and a remaining jackpot count storage area for storing the remaining variation count and jackpot count necessary until the variation rank or jackpot rank is updated to the next rank. And a remaining variation flag and a remaining winning flag respectively corresponding thereto. When the remaining information is read from the password, processing such as setting the remaining number of times in the corresponding storage area is performed. In addition, when performing a mobile linked game for the first time (or when starting over from the beginning), the password issued by the server does not include the remaining information, but includes information that is the first game, Based on the fact that the information is included, processing such as setting the remaining number of times in the corresponding storage area is performed. Therefore, even when the condition for updating to the next rank in the initial rank is achieved, it is possible to suitably change the effect corresponding to the rank update without causing the player to spend extra time.

  In addition, in the variation rank and the jackpot rank, the number of times that the initial rank can be updated to the next rank is the smallest compared to the number of times required for subsequent rank updates. That is, the change rank requires 1000 times of change display from the first rank (initial rank) to the second rank, 3000 times of change display from the second rank to the third rank, and the rank after that. In order to update one, 5000 times of variable display is required. The jackpot rank requires 10 jackpots from the first rank to the second rank, 30 jackpots from the second rank to the third rank, and 50 from the third rank to the fourth rank. After that, it needs 80 jackpots to update one rank after that. In this way, by making the update condition from the initial rank to the next rank relatively relaxed, the update condition cannot be achieved even once, resulting in a game through the mobile communication terminal and the server. It is possible to suppress a situation in which the user cannot feel the charm and is subsequently shunned.

  In addition, it is not limited to the description content of embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows.

  (A) The contents and number of game information and selection information are not particularly limited and can be changed as appropriate. For example, for a slot machine as a gaming machine, winning probabilities such as various bonuses and ART (assist replay time) can be set in a plurality of stages, and the winning probabilities of child roles are also set according to the setting. In the case where there is a difference, the number of wins of the child role having a difference in the winning probability according to the setting is accumulated and stored in the game information storage area, and the server calculates the winning probability of the child role by sending it to the server, You may comprise so that the result can be displayed on the display of a portable communication terminal.

  Furthermore, the selection effects that can be selected by the player are not particularly limited to stage selection and button effects in the normal state and the big hit state, and can be appropriately changed instead of or in addition to these. For example, after the reach state occurs, at the timing when the super reach occurs, the player can select one of a plurality of types of super reach by operating the effect button 125 and the cross button 126, and the selection result May be accumulated and stored as selection information, and a question as to why the super-reach is selected in a questionnaire for mobile linked games may be derived. In addition, for example, in correspondence with a slot machine as a gaming machine, it is accumulated in association with a stage where the order of pressing a plurality of stop buttons for stopping a plurality of reels is stayed and an effect derived at that time. You may comprise so that it may memorize | store.

  In addition, the customization function is not particularly limited. For example, the design of appearance characters (such as costumes) and the sound output during the production are arranged, and the rules for suggesting the occurrence of the jackpot state are changed ( For example, in the configuration in which the speech of the character is displayed in a balloon on the decorative design display device 42 and the color of the character is white → red → gold as the degree of expectation for the jackpot increases, The chance of winning is not high, but it is always possible to win, or the derivation of red and gold may be stopped). The customization function is configured such that the higher the rank, the more patterns that can be customized.

  (B) In the above embodiment, the questionnaire may be derived for both the mobile-linked game and the non-mobile-linked game. However, the questionnaire may be derived only for the mobile-linked game. You may comprise so that a questionnaire may be comparatively easily derived in the case of a game. In addition, you may comprise so that a questionnaire may not be implemented at all.

  In addition, if you cooperate with a questionnaire, a dedicated animation etc. will be derived in the subsequent jackpot round, or if it is in a state where it is not possible to determine whether it is a probable big hit or not, but it is a probable big hit It may be configured such that an effect that teaches this is always performed, or the possibility of performing is increased.

  In addition, the server can compare the questionnaire information with the game information to determine whether the questionnaire information and the game information match, and the result can be reflected in the password, and thus in the performance of the pachinko machine 10. Good. For example, if a player who answered “Yes” to the question “Question of game of this model for the first time” confirms the game information, the game does not answer the questionnaire correctly, such as when there are about 10 games. The ratio of teaching a relatively late rather than an early stage of teaching that the probability variation jackpot or the probability variation mode is being increased increases (when the special display devices 43L and 43R are confirmed when the jackpot state occurs) If the correspondence between the display contents and the jackpot type is not grasped, it is relatively easy to sort into a pattern that cannot be distinguished between the probability variation mode and the time reduction mode even at the end of the jackpot state). Conversely, a player who correctly answers the questionnaire can be appropriately reflected in such a situation that it is easy to be taught at a relatively early stage that it is a probable big hit or a probable change mode.

  (C) In the above embodiment, the QR code is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 as code information including server address information, game information, and selection information. The code may be a one-dimensional code, a one-dimensional code, or a combination of symbols such as a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) (for example, the game information and the selection information are indicated after the URL indicating the server address) Character string). In the above embodiment, the player (the mobile communication terminal) is specified using “HTTP Cookie”, but the player is specified by other methods (for example, the player registers an e-mail address). Also good. In addition, a dedicated application can be downloaded from the server, and the game information and selection information can be read from the pachinko machine 10 by the communication method different from the above embodiment and transmitted to the server by the mobile communication terminal. Good.

  (D) The mobile communication terminal is not limited to a mobile phone or a smartphone, and may be a mobile PC having a code information reading function. In the above embodiment, the exchange of data between the pachinko machine 10 and the mobile communication terminal is performed by reading the QR code displayed on the pachinko machine 10 by the mobile communication terminal and by the server in response to a request from the mobile communication terminal. The issued password is input to the pachinko machine 10, but wireless communication such as infrared rays may be used, for example.

  In the above embodiment, the password is input to the pachinko machine 10 so that the game information and the selection information stored in the server can be reflected, but the configuration that cannot be reflected (pachinko machine) 10 may be configured such that the password is not input to 10).

  Further, the data is exchanged between the pachinko machine 10 and the server via the mobile communication terminal, but the exchange is performed between the pachinko machine 10 and the server by other methods. You may comprise as follows. For example, the pachinko machine 10 and the server are configured to be communicable via a hall computer in a game hall. Furthermore, the player holds the inter-device that is installed in the game hall on the side of the pachinko machine 10 and has a function for lending game media (a game ball for a pachinko machine and a medal for a slot machine). A function for reading / writing information from / to a nonvolatile portable storage means (such as a card) capable of storing the number of game media being played is provided. When the player plays a game, game information and selection information are sent to the server via the hall computer, and information corresponding to the game information and selection information is sent from the server side via the hall computer. The inter-device may be configured to write the information to the portable storage means. In addition, when the player inserts portable storage means into the inter-device during the next game and causes the information to be read, the game according to the rank information and the player's hobby preference is performed as in the above embodiment. You may comprise.

  (E) In the above embodiment, both the individual player selection information and the selection information of the entire player who played each pachinko machine 10 are stored and stored. Both may be omitted. In that case, the storage capacity of the pachinko machine 10 and the server can be reduced. Furthermore, if the configuration is such that the player's individual selection information is not memorized, the specific player's selection information can be blurred, and will be highlighted without knowing the individual's hobbies / preferences. Can be suppressed.) In the above embodiment, when the player agrees to store personal selection information (for example, at the start of a mobile linked game (before and after password input operation), a question and operation items ( (If yes or no) or a question and operation item on the server's web page for the first time registration and get approval for the accumulation of personal selection information) May be configured to be accumulated.

  In the above-described embodiment, the storage contents of the storage area for statistics among the selection information storage areas are configured to be sequentially erased after one week has passed, but this period is not particularly limited. For example, it may be after a predetermined number of days (for example, 1 to 14 days) or a predetermined time, after a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 3000 to 60000 rotations), or may be deleted. It may be configured such that there is no program to be erased, all the selection information of the pachinko machine 10 so far is accumulated, and the accumulated selection information can be found by collecting and analyzing the substrate.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10, when the code issuance screen is displayed and then closed, the stored game information is erased and the selection information is not erased, but the game information is not erased. You may comprise so that it may be erase | eliminated at another timing, and you may comprise so that selection information may be erase | eliminated at the timing which closes a code issue screen. When the selection information is configured to be deleted when the code issuance screen is closed (selection information is added as needed on the server side), the storage capacity can be reduced in the selection information storage area.

  (F) In the above embodiment, the password includes information based on the storage contents of the personal storage area of the selection information storage area, and the player's personal hobbies are reflected in the game. Information based on the stored contents of the storage area for statistics in the selection information storage area may be included in the password, and the hobby preference (like popularity vote) of the entire player may be reflected in the game.

  In this case, for example, a player who plays for the first time recommends and enjoys a popular production first, and increases the possibility of attracting the player's interest at the earliest possible stage. It is possible to actively appeal the goodness of the pachinko machine 10 in such a way that a player who has selected only the production selects a popular production as a trial and discovers a new goodness. it can. Therefore, depending on the development of the game and the like, it is possible to reduce the situation in which the potential of the pachinko machine 10 cannot be drawn out well and the game cannot be played.

  In addition, when there is little game experience of the said pachinko machine 10, you may comprise so that a hobby preference of the whole player may be reflected, and a hobby preference may not be reflected when a game experience is accumulated to some extent. Moreover, you may comprise so that a player can select whether to reflect an individual's hobby preference, or to reflect the hobby preference of the whole player. Furthermore, such selection may be performed when entering a password or issuing a password on a web page, but it is used for a password by setting it on the web page (server side). The total number of words can be reduced, and the processing related to password issuance, the storage capacity can be simplified, and the effort related to password input can be reduced.

  (G) Further, when the gaming experience of the pachinko machine 10 is small, the hobby preference of the entire player is reflected, and when the gaming experience is accumulated to some extent, the individual hobby preference of the player is reflected. May be. More specifically, when issuing a password, for example, it is determined whether or not both the fluctuation rank and the jackpot rank are “2” or more. If a negative determination is made, the host side game information storage area and the entire host side are determined. A password corresponding to the stored content of the selection information storage area (statistical storage area of the selection information storage area) is issued. On the other hand, if affirmative determination is made, the host side game information storage area and the host side personal selection information A password may be issued according to the storage contents of the storage area (personal storage area of the selection information storage area). In this case, in a state where the gaming experience with respect to the corresponding pachinko machine 10 is shallow and the data amount of the hobby preference of the individual player is not acquired so much, the hobby preference of the entire player is reflected in the game, and the pachinko machine 10 You can actively appeal goodness. Furthermore, when the player has a certain amount of gaming experience of the corresponding pachinko machine 10, the player's personal taste preference is reflected in the game, and the player can perform the game more comfortably. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a suitable game property corresponding to the situation.

  In addition, on the server side, the personal selection information storage area and the whole selection information are determined in order to determine which of the personal selection information storage area and the whole selection information storage area is to be reflected in the game (to be included in the password). Compared with the case where both stored contents of the storage area are included in the password, the number of pieces of information identified from the password, and hence the total number of password patterns, can be reduced. For this reason, the password can be shortened as much as possible, or the number of types of words used in the password can be reduced. Accordingly, it is possible to simplify processing related to password issuance, simplification of storage capacity, and labor related to password input.

  (H) Furthermore, it may be configured such that the player can select whether or not the contents stored in the selection information storage area (selection information) are reflected in the game. In this case, a mobile linked game using the mobile communication terminal and the server can be comfortably performed even for a player with a good balance as it is.

  In addition, a selection information storage area for individual players and a host-side selection information storage area (individual selection information storage area) that store and store selection information only in the mobile-linked gaming state are provided to indicate that the player does not reflect it. In the case where the selection information is not stored and stored in the means for storing the selection information for the individual player (corresponding to whether or not to participate each time, or the first time participation may be used) It may be a configuration in which the result is reflected in the future, or the result may be reflected), or may be configured to be accumulated but not reflected.

  (I) In the above embodiment, the effect button 125 and the cross button 126 are configured to perform a determination operation at the time of the selection effect and a password input operation, but a button for performing a selection effect determination operation; A button for performing a password input operation may be provided separately (a button for opening and operating the menu screen in addition to the effect button 125 may be provided). Furthermore, the operation means and the input means may not be buttons. For example, the decorative symbol display device 42 may be a touch panel so that a password can be input by touching a key displayed on the display unit.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the decorative design display apparatus 42 which is a liquid crystal display is provided as a display means, you may comprise a display means with other display apparatuses, such as an LED display and a segment display apparatus. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a display means capable of displaying a QR code, a password input screen, and the like separately from a display device capable of displaying symbols such as identification information. In addition, the type and number of characters used for the password are not particularly limited, and hiragana, katakana, kanji, alphabetic characters, numbers, symbols, marks, and the like can be used as appropriate.

  (J) The game information to be ranked is not particularly limited, and can be changed as appropriate for each model. In the first place, information targeted for game information and selection information is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately changed for each model. Furthermore, the update conditions for the change rank and jackpot rank are not particularly limited, and can be changed as appropriate for each model. For example, regarding the update of the jackpot rank, from the first rank to the second rank and from the second rank to the third rank, 20 jackpots are required, and after that, 40 jackpots are required. Good.

  In the above embodiment, the number-of-changes information and the jackpot information stored in the server are less than 1000 times (the number of times that can be achieved if playing for half a day) and 30 times (if the luck is good, it can be achieved in a day. In such a case, the password is configured to include the remaining information, but the configuration is not particularly limited to such a configuration. For example, if the configuration is such that the closing time of the game hall can be grasped, a numerical value that can be achieved with the remaining playable time at the start of the game is calculated, and the remaining information is compared with the value to the password It may be determined whether or not to include it. In addition, when there is not much time until closing (for example, the remaining two or three hours), an announcement (display) for recommending a relatively time-efficient stage may be performed.

  (K) In the above embodiment, the jackpot probability, the number of jackpot types, the opening / closing pattern of the variable winning device 32 of various jackpot types are not particularly limited, and can be set as appropriate for each model. Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the winning probability in the winning lottery varies between the probability variation mode and the other modes, but the winning probability does not vary (is constant), and is given after the jackpot state ends. The above configuration may be applied to a pachinko machine in which a plurality of patterns of time reduction mode periods (number of fluctuations) are prepared.

  Further, in the above embodiment, a case where a big win is won based on the game ball entering the top winning opening 33a and a case where a big win is won based on the game ball entering the lower winning opening 33b, You may comprise so that the ratio of the jackpot classification provided may differ. For example, “7RN” is obtained when the jackpot is won based on the game ball entering the top winning port 33a and when the jackpot is won based on the game ball entering the bottom winning port 33b. Although the ratio is the same, the ratio of “16RS” (in other words, the ratio of “7RS”) may be different.

  (L) In the above-described embodiment, the suspension of the variable display is taught to the player by the suspension lamps 46a and 46b. However, the suspension may be taught by other display means. For example, in the decorative symbol display device 42, the image object that means the hold is displayed so as to know whether the hold of the first change display or the hold of the second change display is associated with the change display that is held on a one-to-one basis. May be.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the game ball enters the lower winning opening 33b held after the variation display (first variation display) based on the game ball entering the already won upper winning opening 33a. The second variation display is preferentially digested in such a way that the variation display based on the second variation display is digested before the first variation display so as to move around the reserved order. However, it may be configured to be digested in the reserved order regardless of the first variation display or the second variation display.

  (M) You may implement as a pachinko machine of a different type from the above-mentioned embodiment. For example, movable means that can be changed between a specific area in which a game ball moving in the game area can enter, an open state that allows entry into the specific area, and a closed state that prohibits entry into the specific area ( Variable entry means comprising wing members), specific entry means and non-specific entry means capable of entering a game ball entering a specific area, and detection of a game ball entering the specific entry means Specific entry detection means (condition establishment detection means) that performs, a start entry means that is provided outside the specific area and can enter a game ball that moves in the game area, and a game ball that has entered the start entry means And a main control means for controlling opening and closing of the variable pitching means, and when a game ball enters a specific area, the game ball is not specified and non-specific. Regardless of which ball you enter, a predetermined number of game values (game balls) will be given to the player The main control means, based on the detection of the starting entrance detection means, the small hit state in which the variable entrance means is opened once or a plurality of times for the first time, or the variable entrance means is the first Whether or not to generate a jackpot state in which a predetermined number of game balls are placed in the open state for a second time longer than the time, or a predetermined number of game balls are entered in the open variable winning means. If you win a lottery in the winning lottery, a small hit state will be generated, if you win a big hit in the lottery lottery, and if there is a detection of specific entry detection means May be applied to a gaming machine that generates a jackpot state. In this case, the variable pitching means corresponds to a variable winning device. In addition to pachinko machines, various ball games, similar game machines such as sparrow balls, slot machines as revolving game machines, and game machines that combine slot machines and pachinko machines May be.

  (N) In the above embodiment, an upper limit of the amount of data that can be sent from the pachinko machine 10 to the server at once via the mobile communication terminal may be determined. Furthermore, if the amount of game information and selection information to be transmitted to the server exceeds the predetermined upper limit and could not be sent in one opportunity, the amount of unsent information after closing the code issuance screen The information may be left without being erased, and may be left so that it can be seen that the information has not been transmitted.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when the game information and selection information to be transmitted to the server are stored in the pachinko machine 10 and there is a large amount of data (for example, when selection information for several days is stored), the storage information is stored in the game When the played game information and selection information are converted into QR codes, the types of game information and selection information that have not been stored in the current game, for example, the number of jackpots is 0 , Check whether there is something for which premium reach is not derived at all, and if it is determined that there is something, reduce the information display area that should have been used for such information An information display area into which information is inserted may be used, or an information display area that should have been used for such information may be used for other information.

  That is, when there is a large amount of information to be transmitted to the server, for example, when there is a large amount of information stored in the selection information, it will take a relatively long time to send this information all at once, and to the player sending the information Therefore, there is a concern that communication charges will be added excessively. For this reason, it is desirable to set an upper limit on the amount of information to be sent at one time. However, with the configuration (n), the information accumulated on the pachinko machine 10 side can be sent to the server side as much as possible even under such conditions. As described above, an unused (vacant) area is searched for because there is no corresponding information, and when it is found, other information is loaded using the area.

  Further, when the QR code is read by the mobile communication terminal, it is converted into character string information in URL format, and the order in which the QR code is arranged between each game information and each character string indicating selection information other than questionnaire information is determined. In addition, at the beginning of the character string indicating each game information and selection information, there is an initial character indicating the beginning of the game information and selection information, and there is no storage storage of the corresponding game information and selection information. In such a case, it may be set so that only the corresponding initial character is left. In this case, the beginning character will eventually exist between the character strings indicating each game information and selection information, so it becomes a delimiter between each information, and according to the amount of information of each information at that time Thus, the number of characters constituting the character string can be changed. In addition, when there is no accumulation and storage of the corresponding game information and selection information, that is, for example, when the value obtained by counting the establishment of the predetermined condition is game information, the predetermined condition is never satisfied, Only the first character is left, that is, it continues with the first character corresponding to the game information or selection information in the subsequent order, so that the server knows that there is no storage storage of the corresponding game information and selection information It becomes possible to do. Therefore, the number of characters can be further reduced as compared with a case where a character string other than the first character indicates that there is no storage storage of corresponding game information and selection information.

  It should be noted that even when there is a lot of game information and selection information to be sent to the server and there are a wide variety of types of information, it is desirable that information with high correlation be sent at a time. For example, information indicating the number of times “diving stage” has been selected in normal times, information indicating the number of times “cruising stage” has been selected, and information indicating the number of times “deep sea search stage” has been selected simultaneously It is desirable to be configured to be sent. In other words, if they are not sent at the same time, it becomes impossible to accurately grasp the value of the number of times each stage has been selected out of the number of stage changes. In addition, information indicating whether or not the production button 125 is operated can be transmitted each time transmission is performed so that it can be understood at what ratio the production button 125 is operated with respect to the total number of fluctuations. Also good. In addition, a shortened URL service may be used.

  (O) In the above embodiment, for example, when the mobile communication terminal accesses the server to issue a password at the start of the game, if the location information of the mobile communication terminal is transmitted to the server, It may be configured to store not only information and selection information but also position information correspondingly, or may be configured to issue not only game information and selection information but also a password according to the position information. . Furthermore, when a password including position information is input to the pachinko machine 10, an effect (local effect) reflecting the position information may be performed. In addition, the local presentation may be performed only during the mobile-linked game state of the player who transmitted the position information, or after the player ends the mobile-linked game, for example, continues until the power is turned off. You may be made to do.

  Hereinafter, an example of a mode in the case of exchanging position information among the pachinko machine 10, the mobile communication terminal, and the server will be described. The mobile communication terminal of this example has a built-in GPS. For example, when reading the QR code and transmitting game information or the like to the server for the first time, a display asking whether to send the position information is displayed. In addition, it is possible to refer to the description of services that can be used by using the location information on the web page of the server or the menu of the pachinko machine 10.

  The first purpose of exchanging position information is to grasp the operating status of the pachinko machine 10 in each region and the player's preference on the gaming machine manufacturer side that operates the server. As a result, customer satisfaction can be estimated and used for the development of gaming machines. If location information is added when game information is sent from a mobile communication terminal, the game information for each prefecture is different from that for individual players and statistics for players nationwide. Accumulated. However, it does not necessarily have to be configured so that all information is accumulated by prefecture, only a part of the information may be collected, and multiple prefectures may be accumulated together (Kanto region, Tokai region, etc.). You may comprise.

  The second purpose is to have the player enjoy the performance using the location information and to improve the interest. Hereinafter, an example of “local production” using position information will be described with reference to FIG.

  In this example, a decorative pattern with a pattern corresponding to "local" is set and stored corresponding to each prefecture in the country, and according to points that the player can earn by performing mobile linked games, etc. Thus, the “go map” can be used (unlocked) so that it can be used as a decorative symbol for variable display in the decorative symbol display device 42. Note that the symbols to which the numeral patterns “1-9” shown in the upper and middle stages of FIG. 16A are attached are usually used as the decorative symbols of the decorative symbol display device 42. FIG. The symbol shown in the lower part of a) is the “go map” acquired by the player so far.

  First, when a player sends location information when accessing the server with a mobile communication terminal to perform the first mobile linked game, the server determines the prefecture where the player is located based on the location information. At the same time, the location information is included in the password issued in response to the player's request.

  More specifically, on the pachinko machine 10 side, in the sub-control device 262, local information storage areas (a total of 47) are provided corresponding to each prefecture, and each local information storage area has In addition, a traversing flag, a local flag indicating in which prefecture the first mobile linked game was played, and a local flag indicating in which prefecture this mobile linked game is played are provided. Further, a winning map correspondence table indicating a correspondence relationship with the “winning map” stored in the character ROM 525 of the display control device 45 is provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 16B, the prefectures corresponding to the traversing flag that is set to ON are colored differently so that it can be understood that the traversing flag has been set, and It is possible to use the “Map Map” corresponding to the prefecture for the production.

  In the first mobile-linked game, the local flag and local flag are turned on according to the location information included in the password, and the traversal flag of the prefecture where the local flag (the local flag also indicates the same prefecture) is turned on. turn on. On the menu screen of the decorative symbol display device 42, it becomes possible to select “national crossing rally”. In addition, if you select “Rally across Japan”, the prefectures where the crossing flag is set to “On” and the corresponding “Guide map” (with a motif based on the local things, specialties, sights, etc.) The combination of the number pattern) and the decoration pattern (upper and middle stages in FIG. 16) used in the current variation display can be displayed, and the decoration pattern to be used is changed to “this map pattern”, or The operation such as returning to the initial decorative design can be performed.

  In a “cross-country rally”, each time a specified number of points are accumulated in a mobile-linked game (for example, 1 point per change, 300 points per jackpot, 1000 points per premium reach, 1000 points) Each time you save, you can turn on the stepping flag of another prefecture where the stepping flag is not turned on one by one. By the way, in this example, the order of the prefectures in which the traversing flag is turned on is determined, but the player may be able to select it. In addition, the conditions under which the traversing flag can be set on are not particularly limited. For example, the change flag may be set every 500 times or / and every 5 times of the big display. Further, the determination (point conversion) of whether or not the condition that can set the traversing flag is established can be performed not only on the server side but also on the pachinko machine 10 side. By sending the number of remaining points necessary for turning on the traversing flag in the form of information to the pachinko machine 10 side, it may be configured such that a new corresponding map can be used immediately when the condition is achieved.

  Also, in this example, the player plays a mobile-linked game with the same model of the pachinko machine 10 in a prefecture other than “local” (sends location information to the server). When the local flag is turned on, the traversing flag of the prefecture where the local flag is turned on is set on regardless of the point. Furthermore, the traversing flag, the local flag, and the local flag are reset when the mobile linked game ends (when the QR code issuance screen is closed) and the pachinko machine 10 is turned off. Yes. In addition, information indicating which prefecture traversal flag is turned on, information on the above points, and the like are also included in the two-dimensional code, and are output to the server for management. In addition, information based on the local information related to the next password is included so that the local production (“national rally”) can be continued. In addition, when the nationwide traversal flag is set on, a dedicated production can be derived (for example, a premium notice that can be taught when a jackpot is confirmed can be derived, A special image may be derived during the big hit state, or it may be entered in the second week of the “cross-country rally.” The benefits of the second week include a different color map. ). In addition, the motif of the pattern used for the “This map pattern” is also used for the notice effect etc. (for example, a small group display etc.). It can also be configured so that it can be derived at the time of production.

  In addition, the number of decorative patterns that show the same numbers increases as the number of “Guest Maps” increases, but the number of the decorative patterns other than the patterns in the decorative patterns is the same (the same) in order to reduce the storage capacity of the image data. Design). Also, the points used in the “National Crossing Rally” will be changed so that the rate of points multiplied by the game changes depending on the day and time (for example, twice on holidays and holidays on weekdays, and twice in the morning) Etc.) It may be configured. Further, when a game is played in a prefecture other than the local area, the multiplication rate of points for the game may be changed (for example, the higher the distance from the local area, the higher the multiplication rate).

  In addition, in the above example, local zoning is performed for each prefecture, and individual local images (at least 47 in total) are associated. It is not limited and can be set as appropriate. For example, the division may be performed on a country basis in the Sengoku period.

  Further, it may be configured such that different presentations are displayed depending on whether the “local” where the previous game was played and the “local” where the current game is played are the same or different. For example, in the case of “same”, “I came again” at the start of the game, “It is earlier than usual (refer to time information and store visit time information)”, etc. May be displayed. Further, a question format display may be derived subsequently, and the selection result may be stored as selection information. In addition, when playing in the local area where the number of games is high, if the previous game was in a different area, "Return" or "Did you go elsewhere?" Etc. may be displayed.

  In addition, the player's visit time (game start time), game time, and store exit time (game end time) are accumulated. Based on such data, the average visit time, the average game time, You may comprise so that the average of time etc. may be calculated and this may be reflected in the production of the pachinko machine 10. In other words, it randomly derives a directing step into the player's privateness, such as "I thought it was time to come soon", "It was time to return soon" or "I'm playing longer than usual" Instead, it can be derived according to the facts. For this reason, it is possible to improve the willingness to play as compared to the case where only a common performance is given to all unobtrusive people, and the situation where the player's intention to go one step into private becomes an inappropriate performance Can be avoided. In addition, including information such as the number of jackpots, the number of changes, the number of games in a given area, “I'm on today”, “I was able to see premium reach”, “Today is a 10th anniversary By performing the player-specific effect such as “Ne”, it is possible to improve the game performance in the mobile linked game.

  In addition, the “local production” is not limited to the above example. For example, the costume of the appearing character changes to that of the local character, the background changes to the local sight, music or a speech balloon ( (Telop) may be changed to a local music or dialect. Furthermore, the “local production” is not compulsory, and it is desirable to be able to select whether or not the player intends to do so.

  It should be noted that image data for local production can be derived not only for mobile linked games but also for non-mobile linked games (although the probability is low) (randomly regardless of the player's intention). It may be configured. In this case, it is possible to increase the chances of enjoying the local performance, and to encourage participation in mobile-linked games (no generation of local effects in mobile-linked games will be called a motive for participation in mobile-linked games). Can do. However, in order to be able to set the local effects and local images to the player's preference (derived at a desired timing, or selecting a predetermined one from a number of local images) It is necessary to play linked games.

  (P) Also, when personal information such as gender and age is entered when registering as a user on the server, a password corresponding to the personal information is issued, and when the password is entered into the pachinko machine 10, the personal information is reflected. An effect or the like may be performed. For example, when a birthday is input, a relatively clean effect image (which does not hinder the visual display of the decorative symbol variation display) that is also used for normal effects on the decorative symbol display device 42 is always displayed only during the game of the day. You may comprise as follows. Further, it may be configured to be able to derive a birthday-only production, a day-only production such as New Year or Christmas, a day-only production of the event of the game hall, and the like. Further, for example, the decorative symbol display device 42 is configured to be tiltable with the left-right direction as the axial direction, and the decorative symbol display device 42 is configured to tilt according to the height data of the player included in the password. Good. Note that the gaming machine maker can obtain information such as which age group and which gender is favored by obtaining information on the sex and age of the player.

  Further, a password corresponding to the time and day of the week when the game is started may be issued, and when the password is input to the pachinko machine 10, an effect reflecting it may be performed.

  For example, the relationship between the remaining time until the game hall is closed (in this case, the closing time is preset) and the selected stage may be investigated. In other words, when the remaining time is short, it may be checked which stage is selected, whether a time-efficient one is selected, or unrelated. In addition, for example, there are stages that are easy to select according to the season, which stages are easy to select immediately after the start of installation, and which stages are easy to select after a certain amount of time has elapsed since the start of installation. Good. Further, for example, it may be checked whether there is a stage that can be easily selected depending on temperature and weather. When the remaining time is short, an announcement that recommends a time-efficient stage may be made using the decorative symbol display device 42 or voice output.

  In addition, even if the pachinko machine 10 of the same model is played using a machine other than the machine that was played last time, a different (reaction) effect is performed than when the same machine is played. You may comprise as follows. Furthermore, even if the models are different, if the servers are common or compatible, it may be configured so that the player selection information can be shared and appropriately reflected.

  (Q) In the above embodiment, as selection information related to the button effect, information indicating whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated when the button effect occurs and information on how many times the effect button 125 has been operated are accumulated and stored. However, it is not particularly limited to such a configuration. For example, although the maximum number of operations of the effect button 125 during the effective period of the effect button 125 is expected to be a predetermined number, this is not enough, or conversely, information such as that no one reaches it, or button effects There may be a pattern A and a pattern B, and information may be obtained such that there is an operation at the time of pattern A but an operation at the time of pattern B is not so much.

  Further, for example, as in the above embodiment, in a normal gaming state, the stage (“diving stage”, “cruising stage”, “deep sea search stage”) is switched each time the effect button 125 is operated. The timing at which the stage is changed may be accumulated and stored as selection information.

  For example, how many times the player can change the stage after starting the game of the day (from the beginning of the game), or how many times the change display is made from the end of the jackpot state (so-called “hamari” and stage change) ), How many times the change display is made after the super-reach is lost or / and a relatively high-expected announcement effect is made (Relationship between high level of expectation for performance and stage change), how many times the total number of jackpots has been reached since the start of the game on the day (relationship between tiredness of stage production and stage change), etc. You may comprise so that information can be obtained at the server side.

  However, storing all these times results in an enormous amount of storage, so that the number of times for each corresponding range may be stored by dividing every predetermined number of times. For example, after the start of the game or the end of the jackpot, the stage has changed within 10 times, 50 times, 100 times, 200 times, ... 800 times, 900 times, 1000 times or more The stage was changed within 5 times, within 15 times, within 30 times, or more after the reach was lost. The first big hit, the fifth big hit, the tenth big hit, the 15th big hit, the big hit 20 from the start of the game You may comprise like how many stage changes have been carried out by the 1st time and the 25th big hit. Note that time information may be stored instead of or in addition to storing the count information. For example, within 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, or more after the end of the jackpot state, it is stored and stored as a server via a portable communication terminal. You may comprise so that transmission is possible.

  Further, as a function of the effect button 125, when a predetermined effect is being performed or when it is determined that a predetermined effect is to be performed, a predetermined operation is performed on the effect button 125. The effect is skipped (the predetermined effect is skipped based on the predetermined operation being performed) or changed to a different effect (the predetermined image (to compensate for the remaining extension time that was scheduled to be performed) It may be configured to output a picture or sound during construction) and sound. In this case, for example, when an effect displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 does not receive a favorable impression for the player (for example, it becomes embarrassing to see, the volume is too large, and the mood gets worse) To prevent the player from getting stressed when he / she is too excited and cannot be watched, or to find new enjoyment by using the cancel function. Can do. In this configuration, the effect button 125 corresponds to the effect cancel operation means.

  Moreover, the information at the time of using the effect cancellation function by the said effect button 125 may be accumulate | stored, and you may comprise so that it may transmit to a server via a portable communication terminal. Further, the stored information may be reflected in the mobile-linked game after the next time of the pachinko machine 10 (the password includes information corresponding to the effect cancellation information). This setting is preferably configured so that it can be restored to the original state by the player.

  Furthermore, a pressure gauge, a speed measuring instrument, etc. are provided on the production button 125, and these measured values are accumulated and stored as selection information, and information on the strength or speed at which the production button 125 is operated is stored on the server side. You may comprise so that it may be obtained by.

  (R) In the above embodiment, in order to display the two-dimensional code on the decorative symbol display device 42, it is necessary to re-enter the same password as the password entered at the start of the mobile linked game as identity verification. Also good. In other words, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the game information stored with great effort is illegally received and taken away by another player (particularly, in the above embodiment, the stored game information or the like is deleted). . In the case of a configuration in which wireless communication such as infrared rays can be performed between the pachinko machine 10 and the mobile communication terminal, it may be unnecessary to input a password at the start of the mobile linked game. In this case, from the mobile communication terminal When communicating with the pachinko machine 10, the player specifying information for specifying the player is included, and the player specifying information received from the portable communication terminal at the start of the mobile linked game is received on the pachinko machine 10 side. When storing and determining whether or not the player specifying information received from the mobile communication terminal when the two-dimensional code is issued matches the player specifying information stored on the pachinko machine 10 side. Alternatively, the accumulated game information and selection information may be output, and information may not be output if they do not match. Furthermore, it may be configured such that a personal identification number is individually given at the time of initial registration of a mobile linked game, and that the personal identification number needs to be input when issuing a two-dimensional code. In addition, it is desirable that such a personal identification number can be confirmed by accessing the server together with cookie information.

  In addition, a separation timer that measures the time from when contact with the player's handle 18 is no longer detected until a predetermined time has elapsed, and is turned on when the mobile linked game is started, and is measured by the separation timer. A player specifying flag that is turned off when the specified time has elapsed from the start and when the mobile linked game ends, and when the player specified flag is off while the mobile linked game is in progress You may comprise so that a two-dimensional code cannot be issued. In other words, if the player identification flag is off while the mobile linked game is in progress, the player identification flag can be turned on by performing identity verification (for example, re-entering the password). If the middle flag is on, the two-dimensional code can be issued. As a result, it is possible to more reliably prevent a situation in which game information or the like is taken away when the player removes his / her seat for a purpose such as a toilet. In addition, the player specifying flag may be configured to be turned off immediately by an input operation of the player when the player leaves the seat. In this case, the above-described operational effect is further ensured.

[Appendix]
The technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment will be described below.

Means P-1. An operation means operable by the player;
A selection effect derivation means capable of deriving a selection effect that causes the player to select an effect by operating the operation means;
A gaming machine comprising: selection information storage means capable of storing and storing selection information which is information relating to selection by operation of the operation means.

  According to the means P-1, there is provided selection information means capable of accumulating and storing selection information such as how the player has made a selection effect. For this reason, by confirming the stored information in the selection information storage means, it is possible to grasp popular effects and unpopular effects, etc., which can be used as a reference for the development of gaming machines. In addition, since the selection information stored in the selection information storage means matches the selection actually made by the player at the time of the game (which is the same), the player can later decide which effect is to be given in a questionnaire such as a mark sheet method. It is possible to obtain more accurate and detailed information than when answering while remembering how many times you have selected.

Means A-1. In a gaming system comprising a gaming machine and a server capable of acquiring information related to the player's game via a portable communication terminal operated by the player,
The gaming machine is
Game information storage means capable of accumulating and storing game information which is information relating to a lottery performed in the game;
An operation means operable by the player;
A selection effect derivation means capable of deriving a selection effect that causes the player to select an effect by operating the operation means;
Selection information storage means capable of accumulating and storing selection information which is information relating to selection by operation of the operation means;
Display means provided at a position visible from the player and capable of displaying an image object;
The display means includes at least address information of the server among address information of the server, game information stored and stored in the game information storage means, and selection information stored and stored in the selection information storage means. Information output means for displaying the code information including,

Host-side selection information storage means for storing and storing the selection information when the selection information stored and stored in the selection information storage means is received via the portable communication terminal;
The information output means of the gaming machine is stored in the selection information storage means when the game information stored in the game information storage means is included in the code information displayed on the display means. A game system characterized by including selection information.

  The game information stored and stored in the game information storage means is a history of the game played by the player, and may be useful as reference data when the player looks back on his own game. In addition, various services may be provided from a gaming machine manufacturer or the like that operates a server according to a game history. On the other hand, the game information stored and stored in the selection information storage means is information indicating preference of which one of the effects that the player can select, and is very important for grasping customer needs as a gaming machine manufacturer. Useful information.

  In this regard, according to this means A-1, when the game information stored in the game information storage means is included in the code information displayed on the display means, it is stored and stored in the selection information storage means. The information that the player wants to know or collect and the information that the gaming machine manufacturer wants to know are a set. For this reason, after a player reads code information with a portable communication terminal after a game and communicates with the server, information useful for both the player side and the gaming machine manufacturer side can be sent to the server. In particular, the selection information is fast, accurate, and broad (so you can get a response from a larger number of players) to avoid situations where the information is out of date, off-target, or too biased. Can do. As a result, since fresh and accurate information can be obtained sequentially, such good information can be utilized to develop a new model that meets the player's expectations. In other words, while retaining the elements that are popular with the player, inheriting the previous goodness, the elements that are not popular are scraped for simplification, or replaced with another element to suppress the complexity. While making new attempts.

  The game information includes the number of occurrences of a special gaming state advantageous to the player, the number of executions of variable display performed in the variable display means for teaching the result of the lottery determination for determining whether or not the special gaming state is successful, For example, a specific effect that has been determined in advance is generated from a number of effects in the special game state or the variable display. In addition, for slot machines as gaming machines, the winning probabilities for special gaming states (bonuses) can be set in multiple stages, and there are differences in the winning probabilities for child roles depending on the setting. The number of wins of child roles with different winning probabilities according to the setting is accumulated and stored in the game information storage means, and the server calculates the appearance rate of the child roles per a predetermined number of games. However, it may be configured so that it can be displayed by the portable display means.

  In addition, as “a selection effect for selecting an effect by an operation of the operation means by a player”, a plurality of stages are provided so that a background image, an appearance character, and the like on the display means are changed, and the operation is performed during a normal game state. In a configuration in which the stages are sequentially changed by operating the means, each stage constitutes a selection effect. In this case, as game information, for example, how many times the variable display is performed at which stage. (It is not counted as selection information just by changing the stage by operating the operating means.) In addition, during normal game conditions (for example, when Super Reach is being developed on a pachinko machine) or when a special game condition occurs, the player can select from several production patterns for the development of the production and the production in the special game state. In a possible configuration, the plurality of effect patterns constitute a selection effect, and the game information in this case includes information such as which effect pattern is selected and executed. In addition, when the player operates the operation means within a predetermined period, a predetermined effect is derived as a response, and in some cases, the operation means is changed in a configuration in which the effect changes depending on the number of operations. The effects that can be derived by operating constitute a selection effect. In this case, the game information includes, for example, information on whether or not the player has operated the operation means within a predetermined period, or a plurality of operation means. Information such as how many times the player has operated the operating means (how many times the player has operated) is given when an announcement is made such that it is operated more than once.

  The address information is information such as a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) for the mobile communication terminal to access the server, and it is sufficient that the IP address of the server is finally obtained. In addition, “code information” includes not only two-dimensional codes and one-dimensional codes, but also symbols arranged in the form of symbols such as URIs, and those composed of symbols (combinations). is there. In addition, “when the mobile communication terminal reads the server address information from the code information displayed on the display means and accesses the server, the game information and the selection information included in the code information are displayed. It is good also as outputting to the said server.

  Means A-2. The game information storage means stores the code information including the game information and the selection information after an operation for starting the accumulation of the game information of the individual player is performed on the game information storage means. Only the game information until it is displayed on the display means is stored, and the game system according to means A-1.

  According to the means A-2, the data storage capacity of game information in the gaming machine can be suppressed as much as possible.

  Means A-3. The selection information storage means stores the code information including the game information and the selection information after an operation for starting the accumulation of the game information of the individual player is performed on the game information storage means. The game system according to means A-1 or A-2, wherein not only the time until display on the display means but also the selection information in other periods is stored.

  According to the means A-3, selection information other than the player who sent the data is also sent. Thereby, more selection information can be obtained in the server. In the case of a configuration in which individual player selection information is not stored separately, it is possible to blur specific player selection information, and it will be highlighted without knowing the individual's hobbies / preferences. It is possible to suppress such a situation that it is known and it is offended.

  The code information may be configured to include all selection information accumulated on the day of the gaming machine, or may be configured to include selection information up to several days ago (divided by day).

The game system according to any one of means A-5 to A-12, which includes remaining information indicating a value.

  According to the means A-13, when the number of executions of the specific game information is equal to or greater than the prescribed number, the rank is updated, and it is possible to enjoy the change in production according to the new rank. In addition, determination of rank update and accumulation of game information of a plurality of games are performed in a server. Therefore, in order to update the rank, it is necessary to repeat the mobile-linked game, so that the player actively participates in the mobile-linked game, and therefore, more selection information is provided. it can.

  In addition, since the total game information is stored and stored on the server side, even if the rank update condition is cleared in the game, the rank is not updated unless information indicating that is transmitted to the server side. Therefore, the update of the rank is reflected from the next game.

  However, the game starts from a short time before the number of executions of specific game information reaches the specified number of times that is predetermined as the rank update condition, and even if the specified number of times is reached early, the game is once ended Without considering the steps of displaying the code information, accessing the server, and entering the issued password, there is a concern that the change in production corresponding to the new rank cannot be fully enjoyed. For this reason, a player who has achieved the rank update condition and wishes to fully enjoy the corresponding performance will have the extra time of temporarily ending the game as described above. In addition, even after the conditions for rank update are achieved, the number of execution times of specific game information is accumulated without accessing the server, so that the period during which the performance corresponding to the next updated rank can be enjoyed is significantly shortened. Or a situation in which the condition for jumping up to the next higher rank and updating to the second higher rank is achieved, and the opportunity to enjoy the production corresponding to the upper rank is lost. There is a risk of inviting.

For this reason, it is possible to change the effect corresponding to the rank update without once ending the game. Therefore, as long as the conditions for rank update are cleared in the game, it is possible to derive an effect corresponding to the new rank without causing the player to spend extra time. Furthermore, it is possible to give a sufficient opportunity to enjoy the production corresponding to each rank.

  Note that the gaming machine is referred to when determining the pattern of the selection effect, and the game is being played without the password being input (no mobile linked gaming state) or at the initial rank. It is not selected or selected in a state where a game is played without entering a normal table and a normal table that is selected or easy to select, or in a state where a game is played at the initial rank. A special table that is difficult to use, and a use permission flag that is individually provided for each special table. When determining the pattern of selection effects, the use permission flag is checked and the table to be referenced is determined. Accordingly, the corresponding use permission flag may be set based on the rank information included in the input password.

  In addition, in a configuration in which a rank can be raised in two stages in a game of the day, the number of times up to the nearest rank up is memorized, and the number of times to jump over two stages on that day is achieved. It is also possible to set up to one level (the next start is from a two-level up state), and the number of times up to the first level and the number of times up to the second level are stored. May be. However, the number of ranks that can be updated in one day is preferably at most about three levels so that the performance corresponding to each rank can be fully enjoyed or the processing can be simplified.

If the total number of combinations of password words is large, the password It is necessary to lengthen the password or increase the number of words that can be selected when entering the password. Therefore, by reducing the total number of password patterns as much as possible, the password can be shortened or the number of words that can be selected when entering the password can be reduced as much as possible, improving the operability when the player enters the password. Etc. can be achieved. As a result, since the password input operation is difficult, the input work is avoided, and the game cycle through the mobile communication terminal and the server stops there (and there is an opportunity to obtain data (selection information) about the player). Can be suppressed.

Means A-15. The gaming machine includes a remaining number storage means for storing the number of execution times of the specific game information remaining necessary for updating to the next rank,
