  By the way, in a ball game machine, for example, a reach effect that is performed when reaching a symbol effect, a notice effect that suggests or notifies the occurrence of a big hit, a look-ahead effect that suggests a big hit with reserved memory, etc. Although a variety of performances are performed, it is considered that some players do not like a specific performance.

  On the other hand, in Patent Document 1, it is possible to select the character appearing in the production, set the name of the character, etc. on the website described above, but set permission or prohibition of execution of the specific production. It was not possible to produce an effect that fully reflected the player's preference.

  Further, in Patent Document 2, since the volume can be adjusted only after the power is turned on until a specific operation is performed, the player cannot adjust the volume during the game. For this reason, it was not possible to produce a sound with a volume and image quality that sufficiently reflected the preferences of individual players.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of performing an effect that sufficiently reflects a player's preference.

  The invention according to claim 1 made in view of the above-described problems relates to a gaming machine that produces an effect in accordance with the progress of the game. The game machine has an accepting means for accepting an input of a password indicating game history information about a game played in the past and a sound setting state output at the time of production when the player starts a game. , Upon receipt of an input of a password, based on the password, generating means for generating game history information updated as the game progresses, updating means for updating game history information as the game progresses, and input of the password Is received, the setting means for setting the voice according to the setting state specified from the password, and the latest game history information and the password indicating the voice setting state are notified when the player finishes the game. Display means for displaying an image for this purpose.

  In addition, as described in claim 2, a gaming machine that produces an effect according to the progress of the game, and when the player starts the game, the game history information about the game played in the past and , A receiving means for receiving an input of a password indicating a screen used for production or a setting state of a light emitter, and upon receiving an input of the password, game history information updated with the progress of the game is generated based on the password. Generating means, updating means for updating game history information as the game progresses, setting means for setting a screen or a light emitter according to a setting state specified from the password when an input of a password is received, Display means for displaying the latest game history information and an image for notifying a password indicating the setting state of the screen or the light emitter when the player finishes the game. It may constitute a game machine and said.

  The image displayed by the display means may be configured as a two-dimensional code indicating the URL of the website, the latest game history information, voice, or the setting state of the screen, etc. By taking an image, it may be possible to save the latest game history information and a setting state such as voice or screen on the website. Further, on the website, a stored game history information and a password indicating a setting state of a voice or a screen may be displayed, and the game history specified from the password by inputting the password into the gaming machine. You may be comprised so that the game which reflected setting states, such as information, an audio | voice, or a screen, can be started.

  Further, the image displayed by the display means may be a password indicating the latest game history information and a setting state such as a voice or a screen, and is specified from the password by inputting the password to the gaming machine. It is also possible to start a game reflecting the game history information to be played and the setting state such as voice or screen.

  According to such a configuration, when starting a game reflecting the game history information, it is possible to take over the setting state of the sound, screen, etc. in the previous game, and the setting of the sound, screen, etc. every time the game is started Even if it is not performed, it is possible to produce an effect with a voice or a screen that matches the player's preference. Therefore, it is possible to produce an effect that sufficiently reflects the player's preference.

  In addition, as described above, there is a gaming machine that stores game history information and production contents on a website and can use a password to transfer game history information and the like to the next game. The gaming machine according to claim 1 may be configured as such a gaming machine. In such a case, accepting the setting of permission and prohibition of each effect on the website, displaying the game history information and the password according to the setting content, and taking over the past game history information, It is possible to set permission or prohibition for each performance.

It is also possible to provide an effect that is permitted to be executed only when a specific password is input, and such a password can be given to the player as a privilege.
By the way, the ball game machines can be classified into a plurality of types depending on the pace at which the player can obtain the prize ball. As an example of such a classification, things such as max type, middle type, light type, sweet digital type, etc. are known, and each type of ball game machine has a probability of winning big hits and the average number of rounds of big hit games In addition, the probability of transition to a probabilistic state or a short time state is different.

  And, although it is possible to construct a plurality of ball game machines of different types that have a common performance, but develop as a series of ball game machines, it is assumed that such a ball game machine has been developed. However, not all types of ball game machines in the same series are installed in each pachinko parlor.

  Therefore, the gaming machine according to claim 3 includes a main control device that controls the progress of the game, an accepting means, a generating means, an updating means, a setting means, and an effect control device including a display means. There are multiple types of gaming machines with different performances related to how much game value is given to players, and there are different types of gaming machines depending on the type of gaming machine. One of the main control devices is mounted.

  The main control device includes notification means for notifying the effect control device of the progress of the game. The effect control device includes detection means for detecting the type of the gaming machine on which the effect control device is mounted, In accordance with an instruction from the control device, there is further provided an effect means for performing the effect with the content corresponding to the type of the main control device detected by the detection means, and the update means updates the game history information based on the progress of the game To do.

  In this way, a common password can be used for different types of gaming machines of the same series, and gaming history information, voices and screens of gaming between different types of gaming machines can be used. It is possible to take over the setting state. This makes it possible to use a wide range of passwords, and even if pachinko machines have only a certain type of gaming machine installed in the same series, they can It is possible to produce an effect that is sufficiently reflected.

  Further, if the gaming machines are of the same series, even if the types are different, it is considered that the setting states of voices, screens, etc. that each player likes are almost the same. For this reason, it is possible to provide a player with a more comfortable game by taking over the setting state of voice, screen, etc. between different types of gaming machines.

By the way, a gaming machine capable of storing game history information of a game on a website may be configured as follows.
That is, in a ball game machine comprising a main control device that performs a big hit lottery based on a random number extracted by entering a starting opening, and a sub-control device that performs an effect in accordance with a command from the main control device. The apparatus has a storage unit for storing random numbers, a lottery means for performing a big hit lottery based on the random numbers related to the stored storage, and a winning probability of the big hit lottery, or a frequency of entering a starting gate. A setting means for setting a game state for determining the game state, a change start command for designating the execution time of the symbol effect to notify the result of the big win lottery by the change display of the effect symbol, and a stop display at the symbol effect. You may provide the transmission means which transmits the symbol designation | designated command which designates an effect symbol, and the state designation | designated command which notifies a gaming state.

  In addition, the sub-control device receives the password input, the reach effect that is performed in conjunction with the design effect that is the reach, and the advance notice that is performed regardless of the content of the design effect and that announces the result of the lottery lottery. For the production, the permission means was allowed to execute in accordance with the password input via the accepting means, and the permission means was allowed to execute in accordance with the change start command, the symbol designation command, and the state designation command. You may provide the production | presentation means to perform reach production or notice production.

  According to such a configuration, it is possible to set permission or prohibition of each effect performed in the ball game machine by inputting the password, and the effect performed in the ball game machine can be set according to the preference of the player. Can be selected accordingly. Therefore, it is possible to produce an effect that sufficiently reflects the player's preference.

  In addition, as described above, there is a gaming machine that stores game history information and production contents on a website and can use a password to transfer game history information and the like to the next game. The above ball game machine can also be configured as such a game machine. In such a case, accepting the setting of permission and prohibition of each effect on the website, displaying the game history information and the password according to the setting content, and taking over the past game history information, It is possible to set permission or prohibition for each performance.

It is also possible to provide an effect that is permitted to be executed only when a specific password is input, and such a password can be given to the player as a privilege.
By the way, before the symbol effect corresponding to the reserved memory is performed, a prefetch effect that suggests the result of the big hit lottery based on the reserved memory is known. With this prefetch effect, before the symbol effect starts, the big hit is made Can raise the sense of expectation.

  However, for example, if a look-ahead effect with a low level of expectation for a jackpot is performed, even if a reach effect or a notice effect with a high degree of expectation is performed at the same time as the design effect targeted for the look-ahead effect, There is a case that expectation to fade. In other words, performing a pre-reading effect may reduce the performance of the reach effect or the notice effect performed after the pre-read effect, and the player who wants to emphasize the reach effect or the notice effect performed simultaneously with the design effect. For that, the pre-reading effect becomes unnecessary.

  Therefore, when a new reserved memory is generated, the main controller performs a pre-reading determination to determine the result of the big hit lottery based on the random number related to the reserved memory before the reserved memory is consumed, and , Further comprising pre-reading means for transmitting a pre-read command indicating the result of the pre-read determination, and as one of the notice effects, a pre-read effect that suggests that the big hit lottery is won in the reserved memory before the reserved memory is consumed Further, the rendering means may perform a prefetching effect on the hold storage related to the prefetching determination based on the result of the prefetching determination indicated by the prefetching command.

  By doing so, it is possible to set whether or not to perform the pre-reading effect according to the player's preference by inputting the password, and it is possible to perform an effect that sufficiently reflects the player's preference.

  In addition, as described above, it is conceivable to develop a plurality of ball game machines of different types that have a common effect but different types, but similarly, a common effect is performed, It is conceivable to construct a plurality of spinning-type gaming machines with different settable machine discounts (different types) and develop them as a series of spinning-type gaming machines. However, even if such a gaming machine is deployed, not all types of gaming machines in the series are installed in each pachinko parlor.

  Accordingly, there are a plurality of types of ball game machines having different performances related to the degree to which a prize ball is awarded to a player. Depending on the type of the ball game machine, different types of main ball game machines are provided. Any of the control devices may be mounted.

  The sub-control device indicates a detection means for detecting the type of the ball game machine in which the sub-control device is mounted, and a reach effect or a notice effect that is permitted to be executed in each type of ball game machine. Based on the permission information and the type detected by the detection means, further comprises a discrimination means for discriminating a reach effect or a notice effect that is permitted to be executed in a ball game machine equipped with the sub-control device. Also good.

  Further, the effect means is a reach effect or notice that is determined to be permitted by the permission means and permitted to be executed by the determination means according to the change start command, the symbol designation command, and the state designation command. Production may be performed.

  In this way, if it is a ball game machine of the same series, a common password can be used even if the type is different, and permission of each production is allowed between different types of ball game machines of the same series. It is possible to take over the prohibited settings. For this reason, even when only a specific type of ball game machine of the same series is installed in the pachinko parlor, the password can be used and the password can be widely used. .

  Further, the above-mentioned bullet ball game machine may be configured as a game machine that stores game history information and production contents on a website and can transfer game history information and the like to the next game using a password. It is done. In such a case, even if only a specific type of the above-mentioned ball ball game machine is installed in the pachinko store, it was obtained by a game with a different type of the above-mentioned ball ball game machine in another pachinko store. Passwords can be used, and passwords can be used widely.

[Description of operation]
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 50 in the first embodiment will be described.
The pachinko machine 50 has, as a gaming state, a normal state, a probability variation state in which the winning probability in the big hit lottery is higher than the normal state, and a variation time of the normal symbol is shortened compared to the normal state. The winning probability is increased, and further, the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory (second start port) at the time of winning in the normal symbol lottery becomes shorter.

  Then, when the big hit lottery is won with a specific special figure, after the big hit game is finished, the game shifts to a probability change state or a short time state until the big hit lottery of a predetermined number of continuous times is performed. In some cases, the state changes to the probability variation state and the time reduction state simultaneously. In addition, when winning a big hit lottery with a specific special drawing, it may be configured to shift to a probable change state or a short time state until a new big win lottery is won, or the type of special drawing when winning the big hit lottery Regardless, it is good also as a structure which transfers to a probability change state or a time-short state over a fixed period.

Below, operation | movement of the pachinko machine 50 in 1st embodiment is demonstrated in detail.
(1) Main Routine First, the main routine in the main controller 80 of the pachinko machine 50 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This main routine is started as a timer interrupt process with a period of 2 ms.

  In S10, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the main routine has been activated by a normal timer interrupt. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S10: Yes), the process proceeds to S20 and a negative determination is made. If the determination is obtained (S10: No), the process proceeds to S15.

In S15, the main controller 80 performs initial settings such as CPU and I / O, and shifts the processing to S80.
On the other hand, if a positive determination is obtained in S10, the main controller 80 updates the initial value random number (S20), the big hit determination random number (S25), the big hit symbol determination random number update (S30), The hit determination random number is updated (S35), the reach determination random number is updated (S40), and the fluctuation pattern determination random number is updated (S45).

  Then, the main control device 80 performs a winning confirmation process for detecting the winning of a game ball to a winning opening such as a starting opening (S50), and a determination process for determining whether or not to win a lottery due to winning at the starting opening (S55). ), A big hit game process (S60) for performing a big hit game that gives a predetermined game value to the player when winning the big hit lottery. In addition, a normal symbol win / fail determination process for performing a normal symbol lottery or the like due to the passing of the normal ball operating gate of the game ball (S65), and opening the normal electric accessory (second starting port), The usual game processing to be performed (S67), the fraud monitoring processing to detect the player's fraud (S70), data and commands are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, etc., and various information is sent to the hall computer 87, etc. Each output process to be transmitted is performed (S75).

In S80, main controller 80 repeatedly updates the initial value random number until the next timer interrupt occurs and the main routine is started.
(2) About the start winning confirmation process Next, the start winning confirmation process for detecting a winning at the first and second starting openings and performing a storage for holding in accordance with the winning will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. explain. This process is configured as a subroutine called from the winning confirmation process executed from the main routine.

  In S100, the main controller 80 determines whether a winning of a game ball has occurred at the first start port or the second start port based on the detection signal from the first start port SW10 and the detection signal from the second start port SW11. Determine. If the determination is affirmative (S100: Yes), the process proceeds to S105. If the determination is negative (S100: No), the process ends.

  In S105, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the number of reserved memories for the special figure corresponding to the starting port where the winning has occurred is less than the maximum value (4 as an example).

The state designation command transmission process to be executed is executed, and this process is terminated.

(5) About start and end of game Next, processing when starting or ending a game on the pachinko machine 50 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  When the sub-integrated control device 83 of the pachinko machine 50 detects that the effect button 32 is pressed during the standby state (there is no holding storage, the symbol effect and the big hit game, or the game ball is not fired). The selection screen 600 is displayed on the effect symbol display device 7.

  On the selection screen 600, an item 601 for selecting "stop the game", an item 602 for selecting "start the game from the next", and an item 603 for selecting "view wallpaper" are displayed. The sub integrated control device 83 accepts selection of any item via the effect button 32 or the jog dial 33.

  When the selection of the item 601 (“stop game”) is received, the sub integrated control device 83 displays an end screen 610 on the effect symbol display device 7. On the end screen 610, the above-described two-dimensional code 611 that can specify the latest game history information and the setting information of the production content is displayed. As described above, the player can use the mobile terminal 100 with a camera. When the two-dimensional code 611 is photographed, the website operated by the server 150 can be accessed and the latest game history information and setting information can be stored. The two-dimensional code 611 is configured as a QR code (registered trademark) as an example.

  When the selection of the item 602 (“start the game from the beginning”) is accepted, the sub-integrated control device 83 displays the password input screen 620 on the effect symbol display device 7, and the effect button 32 and the jog dial 33. The password input field 621 accepts the input of the password displayed on the website. When a regular password is input, an authentication success screen 630 is displayed, and thereafter, a game reflecting game history information and setting information corresponding to the password is started.

When the selection of the item 603 (“view wallpaper”) is accepted, the sub integrated control device 83 displays the wallpaper 640 on the effect symbol display device 7.
(6) Continuing Game Process Next, a continuous game process for starting a game reflecting the game history information corresponding to the password will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This process is a process periodically executed by the sub integrated control device 83.

  In S700, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether the password input screen 620 is being displayed. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S700: Yes), the process proceeds to S705. If a negative determination is obtained (S700: No), this process ends.

  In step S <b> 705, the sub integrated control device 83 receives a password input via the effect button 32 and the jog dial 33 and determines whether the password input is completed. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S705: Yes), the process proceeds to S710, and if a negative determination is obtained (S705: No), this process ends.

  In S710, the sub integrated control device 83 performs password verification processing for determining whether or not the input password is correct. If the correct password is input, the password is approved (S715: Yes), and the process proceeds to S720.

  On the other hand, if an incorrect password is input, the sub integrated control device 83 does not accept the password (S715: No), and displays an error screen indicating that the password is incorrect on the effect symbol display device 7. (S730), this process ends.

In S720, the sub-integrated control device 83 displays an authentication success screen indicating that the password verification is successful on the effect symbol display device 7, and the process proceeds to S725.
In S725, the sub integrated control device 83 executes the game setting process 1 for starting the game reflecting the game history information and the setting information corresponding to the input password, and ends this process.

(7) About contents of production Next, contents of production performed in sub integrated control device 83 of pachinko machine 50 of a first embodiment are explained. In this pachinko machine 50, four types of pre-reading effects, notice effects, reach effects, and jackpot notification effects are provided as effects indicating that the degree of expectation of the jackpot is high.

  The pre-reading effect is an effect that suggests that the reserved memory is a big hit before the reserved memory is consumed (before the symbol effect corresponding to the reserved memory is started). Specifically, for example, it is possible to suggest a big hit by changing the corresponding reserved symbol, or it is configured as a continuous notice effect that suggests a big hit in the symbol effect performed until the reserved memory is digested May be.

In addition, the reach effect is an effect that is performed in conjunction with the symbol effect to be reached, and indicates that the degree of expectation to be a big hit in the big hit lottery corresponding to the symbol effect is high.
In addition, the jackpot announcement effect is an effect indicating that a big hit lottery corresponding to the currently performed symbol effect is always a big hit regardless of the content of the symbol effect, and the notice effect is a reach for the symbol effect. Regardless of whether or not (regardless of the contents of the symbol effect), this is an effect of notifying that a big hit lottery corresponding to the currently executed symbol effect will be a big hit with a predetermined probability. For this reason, when a big hit notification effect is generated, it is always a big hit, but even if a notice effect is generated, it is not always a big hit.

In addition, during the jackpot game, a jackpot effect is performed, and characters A to C are provided as characters that appear in the symbol effect and these effects.
The pachinko machine 50 is provided with three types of performance modes A to C, and the sub-integrated control device 83 has a performance mode according to the game state indicated by the state designation command received from the main control device 80. In addition, in each effect mode, effects with different contents are performed (specifically, for example, different backgrounds, effect symbols, hold symbols, etc. are used).

  Here, the division of effects such as pre-reading effects, notice effects, reach effects, jackpot notification effects, and jackpot effects is described as a category. The effects of each category are further divided into a plurality of types. That is, prefetch effects A and B as prefetch effects, notices A to C as notice effects, reach A to D as reach effects, jackpot notification effects A and B as jackpot announcement effects, and jackpot effects A and B as jackpot effects Is provided. In each effect mode, all types of effects in all categories can be performed, and any of the characters A to C can be used.

  And in this pachinko machine 50, it is individually determined whether or not to execute the effects of each category, various effects, whether or not to make the above-mentioned characters appear, and whether to shift to each effect mode. It is possible to set.

  That is, as already described, in the website corresponding to the pachinko machine 50, the contents of the performance of the pachinko machine 50 can be set, but in the setting of the contents of the effect, permission or prohibition of each category or various kinds of effects is allowed. Alternatively, permission and prohibition of use of each character described above and permission and prohibition of transition to each rendering mode can be determined. Then, setting information indicating these permission and prohibition is generated, and a password corresponding to the setting information is displayed.

  Then, when the password is input, the sub integrated control device 83 of the pachinko machine 50 generates setting information corresponding to the password. The table shown in FIG. 15 shows an example of this setting information. As described in the table, this setting information includes a type permission flag corresponding to each type of effect and a category permission flag corresponding to each category of effect.

  The “type permission flag” in the table indicates the permission / prohibition status of each type of performance, and the type of performance corresponding to the column where “×” is set is prohibited and “O” is set. Production of the type corresponding to the column is permitted.

  The “category permission flag” indicates the permission / prohibition status of each category, and all the effects in the category corresponding to the column where “×” is set are prohibited and “○” is described. The production of the category corresponding to the column is permitted.

  Therefore, for each type of performance, “◯” is set in the corresponding “type permission flag” column, and “○” is set in the “category permission flag” column corresponding to the category to which the type belongs. Execution is permitted.

As setting information, a “category permission flag” corresponding to the entire characters A to C and a “type permission flag” corresponding to each character are also provided.
This “type permission flag” field indicates permission / prohibition of use of the corresponding character. When “×” is set in the field, the corresponding character is not used for production. When “◯” is set in the field, the corresponding character is used for the production.

  Further, this “category permission flag” column indicates permission / prohibition of the use of all the characters A to C. When “x” is set in the column, all the characters A to C are all displayed. Not used for production.

  Therefore, for each character, “◯” is set in the corresponding “type permission flag” column, and “◯” is set in the “category permission flag” column corresponding to the characters A to C. Is allowed to be used in production.

  In addition, a “type permission flag” corresponding to each effect mode is also provided as setting information. This “type permission flag” field indicates permission / prohibition of use of the corresponding effect mode. If “×” is set in the field, the corresponding effect mode is not shifted to. When “◯” is set in the field, it is possible to shift to the corresponding effect mode. Further, since it is not possible to prohibit all transition to the production modes A to C, the “category permission flag” corresponding to the production modes A to C is not provided.

  In the table of FIG. 15, for example, notice B, reach A to C, jackpot effects A and B are permitted, use of character B is permitted, and effects modes A and B are entered. Indicates that migration is allowed.

  Further, in the first embodiment, categories and types are divided in common in all the production modes. For all the production modes, the production of each category or type is permitted or prohibited, and characters A to C are collected. It is configured to set permission / prohibition of use. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effects performed in each effect mode are divided into similar categories and types, and each category or type of effect is permitted or prohibited for each effect mode. A configuration in which permission or prohibition of use of C may be set. This makes it possible to customize the production more precisely.

(8) Game Setting Process 1 Next, the effect setting process 1 for permitting / prohibiting each effect or the like according to the setting information specified from the input password will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. To do. This process is configured as a subroutine called from the continuous game process.

  In S750, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the effective setting information (category permission flag and type permission flag corresponding to each effect) is included in the setting information specified from the input password. To do. When an affirmative determination is obtained (S750: Yes), the process proceeds to S755, and when a negative determination is obtained (S750: No), the process proceeds to S760.

  In S755, the sub integrated control device 83 sets permission / prohibition of various types of effects based on the effect setting information. Specifically, based on the production setting information, the category of the production permitted to be executed is specified, and the type of the production permitted to be executed is specified from the category. Then, a use permission flag corresponding to the specified type of effect is set.

  In subsequent S760, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the valid character setting information (category permission flag and type permission flag corresponding to the characters A to C) is included in the setting information specified from the input password. Determine whether. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S760: Yes), the process proceeds to S765. If a negative determination is obtained (S760: No), the process proceeds to S770.

  In S765, the sub integrated control device 83 identifies a character that is permitted to be used based on the character setting information, and sets a use permission flag corresponding to the identified character.

  In subsequent S770, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the effective production mode setting information (the type permission flag corresponding to the production modes A to C) is included in the setting information specified from the input password. judge. When an affirmative determination is obtained (S770: Yes), the process proceeds to S775, and when a negative determination is obtained (S770: No), the process proceeds to S780.

  In S775, the sub integrated control device 83 identifies an effect mode that is permitted to shift based on the effect mode setting information, and sets a use permission flag corresponding to the identified effect mode.

  In subsequent S780, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not valid game history information can be specified from the input password. If an affirmative determination is obtained (S780: Yes), the process proceeds to S785, and if a negative determination is obtained (S780: No), this process ends.
