When the player operates the effect operating device 26 of the gaming machine 1 and inputs the password to the gaming machine 1, the gaming machine 1 acquires the gaming information corresponding to the stored information from the password. The linked game function can be set to the operating state while the updated game information is taken over. Hereinafter, functional blocks of the gaming machine 1, the information terminal 80, and the server 82 will be described in detail.

  The gaming machine 1 of this embodiment is controlled by a control board including a main board 100 and a sub board 200. The main board 100 receives input signals from the input means such as the passing gate sensor 102, the start winning port sensor 104, the big winning port sensor 106, the payout sensor 108, and performs various calculations for executing the game. Based on the result, the operation control of the output means such as the ordinary accessory driving device 120, the special accessory driving device 122, the payout device 124 and the like is performed.

  In addition, the sub board 200 receives the signal sent from the main board 100 and the input signal from the presentation operation switch 202 and performs various calculations for executing the presentation according to the progress of the game. Based on the above, the operation control of the effect device 226 such as the effect display device 220, the sound device 222, the movable object driving device 224 is performed.

  Here, the functions of each board such as the main board 100 and the sub board 200 are various processors (CPU, DSP, etc.), ASIC (gate array, etc.), ROM (an example of an information storage medium), or hardware such as RAM, It is realized by software consisting of a given program stored in advance in a ROM or the like.

  The main board 100 includes a random number generation unit 140, a normal lottery unit 142, a normal drive control unit 144, a special lottery unit 146, a game state transition control unit 148, a special drive control unit 150, a payout control unit 152, a communication control unit 154, The main memory 170 is included.

  The random number generation means 140 is a means for generating a random number for lottery, and is realized by a random number generator for generating a hardware random number or a program for generating a software random number. For example, the software random number can be generated based on a count value of an increment counter (a counter that counts numerical values so as to circulate a predetermined count range). In this embodiment, the “random number value” is not only a value that is randomly generated in a mathematical sense, but even if the generation itself is regular, the acquisition timing and the like are irregular. Includes a value that can function as a random number.

  The normal lottery means 142 acquires a random number value (random number value for lottery) from the random number generating means 140 based on a pass signal from the pass gate sensor 102 that operates every time one game ball passes the pass gate 40. Then, a normal lottery is performed to determine whether the acquired random number is normal or not.

  When the normal winning is won in the normal lottery, the normal drive control means 144 controls the normal accessory driving device 120 so that the normal accessory 44 is in an enlarged state under a predetermined condition.

  The special lottery means 146 obtains a random number value (random number value for lottery) from the random number generating means 140 based on a winning signal from the start winning port sensor 104 that operates every time one game ball wins the starting winning port 42. Obtaining and determining whether or not the jackpot is won for the obtained random number value, and if the jackpot is won, a special lottery is performed to determine whether the probability variation symbol or the normal symbol is won.

  The gaming state transition control means 148 performs a gaming state transition control process for transitioning the gaming state among a normal state, a jackpot state, a probability variation state, and a short-time state based on establishment of a predetermined transition condition. As the game condition transition condition, one condition may be defined, or a plurality of conditions may be defined. In the case where a plurality of conditions are determined, the gaming state is determined based on the fact that one of the plurality of predetermined conditions is satisfied or all of the plurality of predetermined conditions are satisfied. It is possible to shift to another gaming state.

  The normal state is a gaming state corresponding to the initial state among a plurality of types of gaming states, and a transition from the normal state to the jackpot state is possible.

  The jackpot state is started based on the winning of either the probability variation symbol or the normal symbol in the special lottery in the normal state or the probability variation state, and after the special object 48 is opened under the predetermined condition in the jackpot state. The process ends on the condition that the closed state has been repeated 15 times. When the jackpot state ends, the gaming state transition control means 148 shifts the gaming state to the probability change state when the jackpot state is started by winning the probability variation symbol, and the jackpot state is determined by winning the normal symbol. When started, the gaming state is shifted to the normal state.

  The probable change state is transferred on condition that the jackpot state started by winning the probabilistic symbol is completed, and it is possible to shift from the probabilistic state to the big win state, but a special lottery is performed in the probable change state. On the condition that the number of breaks reaches 70 times, the probability change state is shifted to the normal state. In the probability variation state, a special lottery is performed so that the probability of winning the jackpot is higher than in the normal state. Also, in the probability variation state, the time required for one special lottery is shortened, and the special lottery execution trigger can be frequently reached.

  The time-short state is started when the gaming state is changed to the normal state on the condition that the jackpot state started by winning the normal symbol is finished or on the condition that the probability variation state is finished. The process ends on the condition that the number of times that the special lottery has been performed has reached 30 times. In the short-time state, the time required for one special lottery is shortened, and the special lottery execution trigger can be frequently reached.

  The special drive control means 150 is triggered by the start of the big hit state, and the special accessory driving device 122 repeats 15 times that the special accessory 48 is in the open state and then in the closed state under a predetermined condition. The drive control is performed.

  Based on the winning signal from the start winning mouth sensor 104 or the winning signal from the big winning mouth sensor 106, the payout control means 152 receives game balls having a payout number corresponding to a predetermined number of winning balls for each winning signal. Control is performed to cause the dispensing device 124 to pay out.

  The communication control unit 154 performs control for transmitting a signal to the sub-board 200. In the gaming machine of the present embodiment, only unidirectional communication from the main board 100 to the sub board 200 is possible between the main board 100 and the sub board 200, and a signal is sent from the sub board 200 to the main board 100. Is connected so that it cannot be transmitted.

  Next, the sub substrate 200 will be described. The sub board 200 is configured to include the effect control means 240 and the sub memory 270.

  The effect control means 240 controls the effect display device 220 based on the notification signal transmitted from the main board 100, the input signal from the effect operation switch 202, and the effect data stored in the sub memory 270. The frame lamp 12 and the display frame lamp 38 are turned on or blinked, an effect image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32, an effect sound is output from the speaker 14 by controlling the sound device 222, or a movable object driving device such as a motor. By controlling the effect device 226, such as driving the movable object 39 by driving the H.224, an effect for assisting the game is executed.

  For example, a special lottery effect process, a state effect process, and the like are performed in response to the occurrence of a game event such as winning a game ball at the start winning opening 42, an operation on the effect operating device 26, and a transition of the game state.

  In the special lottery effect process, the effect control means 240 causes the effect device 226 to execute a special variation effect that produces a special lottery based on the notification signal transmitted from the main board 100. In the present embodiment, the effect control means 240 displays the special symbol image in a variable manner by cyclically changing seven kinds of Arabic numeral images from “1” to “7” at three locations in the central portion of the liquid crystal display 32. After that, the special symbol image is stopped and displayed in a mode according to the result of the special lottery, and the character image is operated on the liquid crystal display 32 or the variation effect image for changing the background image is displayed. The effect is executed on the liquid crystal display 32.

  Furthermore, the effect control means 240 operates the movable object 39 according to the special symbol image or the change effect image as the special change effect. Specifically, the effect control means 240 raises or lowers the movable object 39 by rotating or moving the movable object driving device 224 such as a motor forward or backward, thereby causing the movable object 39 to appear or be stored.

  Here, in the present embodiment, premium reach, super reach 1, super reach 2, normal reach, and no reach are prepared as execution types of the special variation effect, and the effect control means 240 is special based on the result of the special lottery. The execution type of the variation effect is determined. The special variation effects for each execution type are different in the display pattern of the special symbol image and the variation effect image, the operation pattern of the movable object 39, the selection rate corresponding to the result of the special lottery, and the execution from the start to the end. Time is different. As a result, the special variation effects of each execution type have different expectations for winning the probability variation symbol or the normal symbol when the special variation effect of each execution type is executed.

  Then, the production control means 240 is special so that three Arabic numeral images such as “111”, “333”, “555”, “777”, etc. are arranged in odd numbers when the probability variation symbol is won in the special lottery. When the symbol image is stopped and displayed and the normal symbol is won in the special lottery, the special symbol image is stopped so that three Arabic numeral images such as “222”, “444” or “666” are evenly arranged. If none of the jackpots are won and the execution type of the special variation effect is any reach, the two Arabic numeral images such as “383” are the same, but 1 Two Arabic numeral images have special reach images stopped in different reach-losing states, and no special jackpot was won, If execution type is no leech, by stopping displaying the special symbol images of three Arabic numerals images are different as such as "283" to display the result of the special lottery on the liquid crystal display 32.

  In the state effect process, the effect control unit 240 can operate the character image on the liquid crystal display 32 or change the background image according to the current gaming state based on the notification signal transmitted from the main board 100. By operating the animal 39, a state effect that suggests the current gaming state to the player is executed.

  For example, when the current gaming state is a normal state, the production control unit 240 performs a production state transition lottery every time a special lottery is performed, and the production state is set to any production state among a plurality of types of production states. Decide whether to set. Then, the effect control unit 240 causes the liquid crystal display 32 to display a normal state image corresponding to the set effect state. In addition, when the current gaming state is the probability variation state, the effect control means 240 indicates that the current gaming state is the probability variation state on the liquid crystal display 32, and the number of times that the special lottery has been performed in the probability variation state is 70. When the probability change state image indicating the remaining number of times until the number of times is reached is displayed and the current gaming state is the short-time state, the liquid crystal display 32 indicates that the current gaming state is the short-time state, and in the short-time state When a short-time state image indicating the remaining number of times until the number of special lotteries performed reaches 30 times is displayed and the current gaming state is a big hit state, the current gaming state is displayed in the big hit state on the liquid crystal display 32. A jackpot state image indicating the presence and the number of remaining rounds is displayed.

  Further, the effect control means 240 displays a gaming machine menu screen of the linked gaming function on the display 32 based on the operation of the effect operating device 26, as shown in FIG. Then, based on the fact that an operation for selecting “new registration” has been performed by the effect operating device 26 while the gaming machine menu screen is displayed, the URL of the server 82 is changed as shown in FIG. The newly registered two-dimensional code for registration is displayed on the display 32. When the player captures the new registration two-dimensional code displayed on the display 32 with the camera of the information terminal 80, the information terminal 80 reads the URL of the server 82 included in the new registration two-dimensional code, and the server 82 And making a new registration of the player's ID to make the cooperative gaming function available.

  Further, the production control means 240 (input reception means) is based on the fact that an operation for selecting “password input” has been performed by the production operation device 26 in a state where the gaming machine menu screen of FIG. Then, as shown in FIG. 5A, a password input screen for inputting the password transmitted from the server 82 to the information terminal 80 to the gaming machine 1 is displayed on the display 32, and the password is input by the effect operating device 26. Accept the operation. The password of this embodiment is composed of a 7-digit character string, and each of the digits is set with any one of 36 types of letters of alphabets A to Z or numerals 0 to 9.

  Then, when the password is input by the effect operating device 26, the effect control means 240 determines whether or not the input password is a valid password, and if the password is valid, activates the cooperative gaming function. 5B, on the liquid crystal display 32, a point meter indicating the update status of the player's points and the player's level are displayed below the area where the special symbol image is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32. Level display indicating the number of laps of the player who raises the level from level 1 to level MAX (50), the character that changes according to the level, and the character's dialogue Display cooperative game images including dialogue display.

  Specifically, the password transmitted from the server 82 to the information terminal 80 includes a player level, a specific value (set value, first set value) for specifying a character to be displayed in the linked game image, a player An acquisition order table that defines the number of laps, the number of mission clears (setting value, second setting value) indicating the number of missions cleared by the player during the game, and the character acquisition order that can be acquired each time the mission is cleared The production control means 240 acquires the specific value, the number of laps, the number of mission clears, and the number in the acquisition order table from the input password.

  Then, the effect control unit 240 sets the specific value acquired from the password based on the fact that the cooperative gaming function is set to the operating state, the specific value storage unit 272 of the sub memory 270 (setting value storage unit, first setting value storage unit). The number of laps obtained from the password is set in the lap number storage means 274 of the sub memory 270, and the mission clear number obtained from the password is set as the number of clear times storage means 276 (set value storage means, second setting) of the sub memory 270. Value acquisition means) and the number of the acquisition order table obtained from the password is set in the table number storage means 278 of the sub memory 270.

  Then, when the cooperative gaming function is set to the activated state, the effect control unit 240 is in accordance with the sub-memory 270 according to the execution type of the special variation effect at that time and the result of the special lottery every time the special lottery is performed. The value of the point storage means 280 is updated. Then, the effect control means 240 updates the point meter of the linked game image based on the value of the point storage means 280. Note that the value of the point storage means 280 is set to “0” which is an initial value at the time when the cooperative gaming function is set to the activated state.

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, the value of the point storage unit 280 can be updated from “1” to “100”, and when premium reach is executed as a special variation effect, the point storage unit 280 stores “ 25 ”is added, and when Super Reach 1 or Super Reach 2 is executed and a special lottery is won,“ 15 ”is added to the point storage means 280, and Super Reach 1 or Super Reach 2 is executed and special. When the lottery is not won, “10” is added to the point storage means 280, and when the normal reach is executed and the special lottery is won, “20” is added to the point storage means 280, and the normal reach is If it is executed and the special lottery is not won, “5” is added to the point storage means 280, and there is no reach. If it is, the "1" is added to the point storing means 280.

  Then, when the value of the point storage unit 280 reaches “100” (when the set value update condition is satisfied, the effect control unit 240 (set value update unit, first set value update unit) sets the first set value update condition. When satisfied, the value of the point storage unit 280 is reset to “0”, and the value (set value, first set value) of the specific value storage unit 272 is updated. Then, the effect control means 240 updates the level display of the linked game image based on the value of the specific value storage means 272. Then, when the player level reaches “MAX (50)”, the effect control means 240 does not update the value of the point storage means 280 even if the special lottery is performed, and therefore the value of the specific value storage means 272 is also updated. do not do. That is, in this embodiment, the level display is updated so that the level of the player increases by one each time the value of the specific value storage means 272 is updated, and the level display is from “1” to “MAX (50)”. It can be updated.

  In addition, each time the special lottery is performed, the effect control means 240 updates the value of the fluctuation number storage means (not shown) of the sub memory 270, and every time the big win is won in the special lottery, the big hit number storage means (not shown) of the sub memory 270 is stored. The value is updated, and the value of the consecutive winning number storage means (not shown) of the sub memory 270 is updated every time the big win is continuously won until the number of times that the special lottery has been performed reaches a predetermined number after the end of the big hit state. . Note that the value of the variation count storage means, the value of the jackpot count storage means, and the value of the consecutive winning count storage means are set to “0” which is an initial value when the cooperative gaming function is set to the operating state.

  Further, the effect control means 240 (setting value updating means, first setting value updating means) indicates that the value of the fluctuation count storage means, the value of the jackpot count storage means, the value of the continuous winning count storage means reaches a predetermined value, The execution type of the special variation effect is determined in advance twice as a specific execution type, or the specific effect is executed during execution of the special variation effect whose special lottery result is a big hit. Each time one of the 49 types of missions is cleared (every time the set value update condition is satisfied, every time the second set value update condition is satisfied), the value of the clear count storage means 276 (the set value, the first 2 setting value) is updated.

  Further, when the effect control unit 240 (update information generating unit) is displaying the gaming machine menu screen shown in FIG. 4A, an operation of selecting “game end” is performed by the effect operating device 26 ( When the end condition is satisfied), the value of the specific value storage means 272 at that time, the value of the lap count storage means 274, the value of the clear count storage means 276, the value of the point storage means 280, the value of the fluctuation count storage means, Update information including the value of the jackpot number storage means, the value of the continuous winning number storage means, and the like are generated, and a two-dimensional code for cooperation including the generated update information and the URL of the server 82 is generated.

  Then, the effect control means 240 (update information output means) displays the generated two-dimensional code for cooperation on the liquid crystal display 32 as shown in FIG. Then, the effect control means 240 sets the cooperative gaming function to the non-actuated state, and even if a game is performed, the value of the specific value storage means 272, the value of the clear count storage means 276, the value of the point storage means 280, the number of changes The value of the storage means, the value of the big hit number storage means, and the value of the continuous winning number storage means are not updated.

  Then, when an operation for selecting “reading completion” is performed by the effect operation device 26 in the state where the two-dimensional code for cooperation shown in FIG. 6 is displayed, the effect control means 240 causes the liquid crystal display 32 to display the operation. The two-dimensional code for cooperation is deleted, the value of the specific value storage means 272, the value of the lap count storage means 274, the value of the clear count storage means 276, the value of the table number storage means 278, the value of the point storage means 280, The value of the fluctuation count storage means, the value of the big hit count storage means, and the value of the continuous winning count storage means are reset to initial values.

  In the gaming system of the present embodiment, when the two-dimensional code for cooperation is imaged by the camera of the information terminal 80, the information terminal 80 reads the URL of the server 82 included in the two-dimensional code for cooperation and accesses the server 82. In addition, by reading update information such as specific values, laps, mission clears, points, fluctuations, jackpots, consecutive wins, etc. included in the two-dimensional code for cooperation, and sending them to the server 82, The specific value of the player, the number of laps, the number of mission clears, the points, the number of times of variation, the number of jackpots, the number of consecutive wins, etc. can be stored in the server 82.

  Then, when the player accesses the server 82 with the information terminal 80 and performs an operation for requesting the issuance of a password with the information terminal 80, the specific value, the number of laps, and the mission clear corresponding to the player ID are performed on the server 82. A password including the number of times and the number of the acquisition order table is issued, and the password is transmitted to the information terminal 80. Then, the password is displayed on the information terminal 80, and when the player operates the effect operating device 26 of the gaming machine 1 and inputs the password to the gaming machine 1, the effect control means 240 reads the specific value, the number of laps, and the mission clear from the password. Acquire the number of times and acquisition order table. Thus, in the present embodiment, the linked game function can be set to the operating state in a state where the player's level up to the previous game, the number of laps, and the number of mission clears are taken over.

  In this embodiment, the password does not include points, number of changes, number of jackpots, number of consecutive wins, and the two-dimensional code for cooperation does not include the number of the acquisition order table.

  Here, in the present embodiment, in a state where the player's level has reached “MAX (50)”, after the cooperative gaming function is set to the non-operating state, the player uses the information terminal 80 to set the password. Before performing the operation for requesting issuance, the information terminal 80 updates the value (number of laps) of the lap number storage means 274 and performs “update the lap number” for performing the game of the linked game function from the level 1 of the second lap. The operation to select is accepted. When the player performs an operation of selecting “update lap number” on the information terminal 80, “1” is added to the lap number and the specific value is reset to the initial value “1” in the server 82.

  When the player performs an operation for requesting the issuance of a password at the information terminal 80 after the lap number is updated in the server 82, a password including the reset specific value and the updated lap number is issued. When the player inputs to the gaming machine 1, the effect control unit 240 acquires the specific value reset from the password and the updated number of laps, and the specific value “1” that is the reset specific value is stored in the specific value storage unit 272. And the updated number of laps is set in the lap number storage means 274, whereby the value of the specific value storage means 272 and the value of the lap number storage means 274 are updated. In the present embodiment, the value of the circulation number storage means 274 can be updated from “1” to “10”. That is, raising the level from level 1 to level MAX (50) can be performed 10 times.

  Further, the effect control means 240 displays the character of the cooperative game image shown in FIG. 5B based on the value of the specific value storage means 272. In the present embodiment, the gaming machine character information storage means 288 of the sub memory 270 stores character information indicating the relationship between the specific value, the level display, the character type, and the number of laps as shown in FIG. In the character information of the present embodiment, “first character” to which the appearance is different as a character to be displayed when the specific value is any one of “1” to “60” (normally the first set value) Sixty normal characters of “60th character” are set. Each time the value of the specific value storage means 272 is updated based on the value of the point storage means 280 reaching “100”, the characters of the linked game image are changed from “first character” to “60th character”. Until it changes.

  Specifically, each time the value of the specific value storage means 272 is updated, the effect control means 240 updates the level display by displaying on the liquid crystal display 32 a level-up effect informing that the level of the player has increased. At the same time, a new normal character corresponding to the updated value of the specific value storage means 272 is displayed as a character of the linked game image, and a line display indicating the line of the new normal character is displayed.

  Here, in the present embodiment, as indicated by a circle in FIG. 7, the level display is updated regardless of the value of the lap count storage means 274 in the state where the level display is any one of “1” to “48”. Each time the “first character” to “48th character” are displayed in order, but when the level display is “49”, the value of the lap number storage means 274 is “1”. When “49th character” is displayed and the value of the lap number storage means 274 is “2”, “50th character” is displayed,..., The value of the lap number storage means 274 is “10” In this case, “58th character” is displayed.

  Specifically, when the value of the point storage unit 280 reaches “100”, the effect control unit 240 is in the state where the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is any one of “1” to “47”. “1” is added to the value of 272, but in a state where the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is “48”, a value corresponding to the number of laps at that time is added to the value of the specific value storage unit 272. Specifically, in a state where the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is “48”, when the value of the point storage unit 280 reaches “100”, the value of the lap count storage unit 274 is changed to the value of the specific value storage unit 272. Add to. For example, when the value of the point storage means 280 reaches “100” in the state where the value of the specific value storage means 272 is “48”, the value of the lap count storage means 274 is “1”. When the value in the value storage unit 272 is updated from “48” to “49” and the value in the number-of-laps storage unit 274 is “2”, the value in the specific value storage unit 272 is changed from “48” to “50”. When the value of the lap count storage means 274 is “10”, the value of the specific value storage means 272 is updated from “48” to “58”.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the specific value is “1” to “48”, the level display is set to “1” to “48”, but the specific value is “1” to “48”. In the case of any one of “49” to “58”, the level display is set to “49” for any value.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as indicated by a circle in FIG. 7, in the state where the level display is any one of “1” to “48”, the level display corresponds to the value regardless of the value of the circulation number storage means 274. Although the normal character is displayed as the character of the cooperative game image, in the state where the level display is “49”, a different normal character is displayed as the character of the cooperative game image according to the value of the lap number storage means 274.

  In the present embodiment, as indicated by a circle in FIG. 7, when the level display is “MAX (50)”, the value of the lap number storage means 274 is “1” to “9”. “59th character” is displayed as the character of the linked game image, and when the value of the lap number storage means 274 is “10”, “60th character” is displayed as the character of the mobile game image.

  Specifically, when the value of the point storage unit 280 reaches “100”, the effect control unit 240 is in the state where the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is any one of “49” to “58”. A value corresponding to the number of times is set as the value of the specific value storage means 272. Specifically, the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is any one of “49” to “57”, that is, the level display is “49” and the value of the lap count storage unit 274 is “1” to “ If the value of the point storage means 280 reaches “100”, the value of the specific value storage means 272 is set to “59” and the value of the specific value storage means 272 is “58”. ", That is, when the level display is" 49 "and the value of the lap count storage means 274 is" 10 ", when the value of the point storage means 280 reaches" 100 ", the specific value storage means The value of 272 is set to “60”.

  As shown in FIG. 7, when the specific value is “59” or “60” (predetermined value), the level display is set to “MAX (50)” for any value.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as indicated by a circle in FIG. 7, when the level display is “MAX (50)”, the value of the circulation number storage means 274 is not the maximum value (“1” to “9”). ") And a normal character that is different between the maximum value (" 10 ").

  Further, in the character information stored in the gaming machine character information storage unit 288 of this embodiment, there are 60 types of “first character” to “60th character” displayed corresponding to the level display shown in FIG. In addition to the normal character, as shown in FIG. 8, the appearance is different as a character to be displayed when the specific value is any one of “61” to “109” (special setting value, special first setting value). 49 types of special characters from “61st character” to “109th character” are prepared. Then, every time the value of the clear count storage means 276 is updated, the effect control means 240 notifies that the player has acquired any one special character from “61st character” to “109th character”. The acquired effect is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32.

  Specifically, in this embodiment, an acquisition order table (special setting value information) that defines the acquisition order of special characters is stored in the gaming machine table storage means 290 (special setting value information storage means) of the sub memory 270. The production control means 240 refers to the acquisition order table every time the value of the clear count storage means 276 is updated, specifies the special character acquired by the mission clear, and the player has acquired the specified special character. An acquisition effect for notifying this is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9A, for each of “1” to “49” that is the number of mission clears, the special character specific values “61” to “109” are set. Four types of acquisition order tables, ie, an acquisition order table 1 to an acquisition order table 4 that are associated with each other in different orders, are prepared. In the present embodiment, when newly registering an ID in the server 82, any one type of acquisition order table is set in association with the ID, and when the cooperative gaming function is operated using the same ID, By including the number of the acquisition order table corresponding to the ID in the password, the same acquisition order table is used in the gaming machine 1. Thus, in the present embodiment, the acquisition order of special characters can be changed for each ID, and when the same ID is used, the same special character is not repeatedly acquired.

  In the gaming system of the present embodiment, when the specific value of the player stored in the server 82 is any one of “1” to “58”, that is, the level display is any one of “1” to “49”. In this case, since the character other than the normal character corresponding to the level display cannot be displayed as the character of the linked game image, the acquired special character acquired every time the mission is cleared Cannot be displayed as a character of the linked game image, but when the specific value of the player stored in the server 82 is any one of “59” to “60”, that is, the level display is “MAX (50)”. ”, The player performs an operation on the information terminal 80 before operating the cooperative gaming function, so that the player The-option and one acquired already special character was in the gaming machine 1 is displayed as a character of the cooperation game image it is possible to select the "Select Display Mode".

  Specifically, when the player selects “selection display mode” on the information terminal 80 and selects one special character from the acquired special characters, the specific value corresponding to the special character selected by the player is the information terminal 80. Is transmitted to the server 82, and the server 82 generates a password including the specific value received from the information terminal 80. For example, when the player selects “61st character” on the information terminal 80, “61”, which is a specific value corresponding to “61st character”, is transmitted from the information terminal 80 to the server 82. A password with a specific value “61” is generated.

  Then, when the password is transmitted to the information terminal 80 and the password displayed on the information terminal 80 is input to the gaming machine 1 by the effect operating device 26, the effect control means 240 sets the specific value “61” from the input password. And “61”, which is the acquired specific value, is set in the specific value storage means 272. Then, the effect control means 240 displays “61st character” as the character of the linked game image based on the value of the specific value storage means 272 being “61”.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the specific value is “61” to “109”, the level display is set to “MAX (50)” for any value. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the special character acquired as the character of the linked game image is displayed in the “selection display mode”, the value of the specific value storage means 272 is any one of “61” to “109”. Also, the level display can be displayed as “MAX (50)”.

  Further, in the gaming system of the present embodiment, when the player selects the “selection display mode” on the information terminal 80, the displayed normal character that is displayed every time the level is increased is also used as a linked game image on the gaming machine 1. The character to be displayed can be selected.

  In the present embodiment, among the 60 types of normal characters shown in FIG. 7, the “first character” displayed when the level display is 1, and the “59th character” displayed when the level display is 50. Characters to be displayed as a linked game image on the gaming machine 1 from the displayed normal characters among the 57 types of normal characters from “second character” to “58th character” excluding “60th character”. Can be selected.

  Then, when the player selects “selection display mode” on the information terminal 80 and selects one normal character from the displayed normal characters, a specific value corresponding to the normal character selected by the player is sent from the information terminal 80 to the server. 82. For example, when the player selects “second character” on the information terminal 80, “2” that is a specific value corresponding to “second character” is transmitted from the information terminal 80 to the server 82.

  However, as shown in FIG. 7, when the specific value is “2”, the level display is set to “2”. Therefore, when the server 82 generates the password with the specific value “2”, the password is input. In the gaming machine 1, the value of the specific value storage means 272 is set to “2” and the “second character” is displayed as the character of the linked game image, but the player level is “MAX (50)”. Despite being there, the level display becomes “2”.

  Therefore, in the character information of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, even if the specific value is “110” to “166” (special setting value, special first setting value), the specific value is not displayed. 57 types of normal characters “second character” to “58th character”, which are the same characters as the characters to be displayed in the case of “2” to “58”, are set. That is, “110” to “166” obtained by adding “108” to each of “2” to “58”, which are specific values corresponding to “second character” to “58th character”, is also “second”. "Character 58" is set from "Character".

  When the player selects a normal character at the information terminal 80 and a specific value corresponding to the normal character such as “second character” is transmitted from the information terminal 80 to the server 82, the server 82 receives the received specific value. A process of adding “108” to the value is performed, and a password including the obtained value as a specific value is generated. For example, when the player selects “second character”, which is a normal character, on the information terminal 80, “2”, which is a specific value corresponding to “second character”, is transmitted from the information terminal 80 to the server 82. The server 82 adds “108” to “2” to obtain “110”, and a password with a specific value “110” is generated.

  When the password is transmitted to the information terminal 80 and input to the gaming machine 1 by the effect operating device 26, the effect control means 240 acquires the specific value as “110” from the input password, and the acquired specific value “110” is set in the specific value storage means 272. Then, the effect control means 240 displays the “second character” as the character of the linked game image based on the value of the specific value storage means 272 being “110”.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the specific values are “110” to “166”, the level display is set to “MAX (50)” for any value. Therefore, in this embodiment, when displaying a normal character that has already been displayed as a character of the linked game image in the “selection display mode”, the value of the specific value storage means 272 is any one of “110” to “166”. Also, the level display can be displayed as “MAX (50)”.

  In the present embodiment, the value of the specific value storage means 272 is “59” when displaying either the special character acquired as the character of the linked game image or the displayed normal character in the “selection display mode”. Based on the above, that is, based on the fact that the level display is “MAX (50)”, the value of the specific value storage means 272 is not updated, so that the character of the linked game image does not change to another character. In addition, the “selection display mode” cannot be canceled while the cooperative gaming function is set to the activated state.

  In the gaming system of the present embodiment, when the specific value of the player stored in the server 82 is any one of “59” to “60”, that is, when the level display is “MAX (50)”. The player operates the information terminal 80 before operating the linked game function, and the acquired special character and the displayed normal character are randomly selected as the characters of the linked game image in the gaming machine 1 one by one. “Random display mode” (special display mode) to be displayed can be selected.

  Here, the normal characters randomly displayed in the “random display mode” include 57 types of characters “second character” to “58th character” in the same manner as the normal characters that can be selected in the “selection display mode” described above. It is a displayed normal character among normal characters.

  When the player selects the “random display mode” on the information terminal 80, “167” (special setting value, special first setting value) corresponding to the “random display mode” shown in FIG. The password is transmitted from the terminal 80 to the server 82, and the server 82 generates a password including “167” that is the specific value received from the information terminal 80.

  Then, when the password is transmitted to the information terminal 80 and the password displayed on the information terminal 80 is input to the gaming machine 1 by the effect operating device 26, the effect control means 240 sets the specific value “167” from the input password. ", And the obtained specific value" 167 "is set in the specific value storage means 272. Then, based on the value of the specific value storage means 272 being “167”, the effect control means 240 randomly displays the acquired special character and the displayed normal character one by one as the characters of the linked game image. .

  Specifically, when the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is set to “167” based on the password, the production control unit 240 (specific unit) first sets the displayed normal character based on the value of the lap number storage unit 274. Find the corresponding specific value. For example, if the value of the circulation number storage means 274 is “1”, the specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character is determined to be “2” to “49” as shown by a circle in FIG. If the value of the lap number storage means 274 is “5”, the specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character is determined to be “2” to “53” as shown by the circle in FIG. If the value of the lap number storage means 274 is “10”, the specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character is determined to be “2” to “58” as shown by the circle in FIG.

  Here, in this embodiment, when the “random display mode” is selected, the level of the player is “MAX (50)”, and therefore the server 82 when the above-described “selection display mode” is selected. Similar to the processing in, the effect control means 240 performs processing of adding “108” to each of the specific values corresponding to the obtained displayed normal character. Therefore, for example, if the value of the lap number storage means 274 is “1”, the specific values corresponding to the displayed normal character are “2” to “49”, and thus the specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character. Are converted into “110” to “157”.

  Further, the effect control means 240 obtains a specific value corresponding to the acquired special character based on the value of the clear count storage means 276 and the value of the table number storage means 278. For example, if the value of the clear count storage means 276 is “2” and the value of the table number storage means 278 is “1”, as shown in the acquisition order table 1 of FIG. If the specific values corresponding to “61” and “62” are obtained, the value of the clear count storage means 276 is “3”, and the value of the table number storage means 278 is “4”, FIG. As shown in the acquisition order table 4 of A), the specific values corresponding to the acquired special characters are determined to be “102”, “65”, and “83”.

  Then, the effect control means 240 sets, in the gaming machine table storage means 290, random number values corresponding to the obtained number of specific values in the character lottery table shown in FIG. Set each of the specific values found in For example, if the value of the lap count storage means 274 is “1”, the value of the clear count storage means 276 is “3”, and the value of the table number storage means 278 is “4”, as described above, the display has been completed. The number of specific values corresponding to the normal character is determined to be 48 from “110” to “157”, and the number of specific values corresponding to the acquired special character is “102”, “65”, “83”. The number of specific values found is found to be 48 + 3 = 51. Therefore, in this case, as shown in FIG. 9B, in the character lottery table, each of the random numbers “1” to “51” is a specific value “102” corresponding to the acquired special character. , “65”, “83”, and “110” to “157”, which are specific values corresponding to the displayed normal characters.

  Then, the presentation control means 240 acquires one random value from the random values “1” to “51” at a predetermined opportunity, and refers to the character lottery table for the acquired one random value. Character lottery for determining a specific value corresponding to two random numbers is performed, and the determined specific value is stored in a random specific value storage unit 292 (special set value storage unit) provided in the sub memory 270 separately from the specific value storage unit 272. Set to. Then, when the cooperative game function is set to the activated state, the effect control unit 240 displays the character and level display of the cooperative game image based on the value of the random specific value storage unit 292.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when the specific value is “61” to “166” (special setting value, special first setting value), the level display is “MAX (50)” for any value. "Is set. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when displaying the special character acquired as the character of the linked game image and the displayed normal character in the “random display mode”, the value of the specific value storage means 272 is “61” to “166”. In any case, the level display can be displayed as “MAX (50)”.

  Then, when the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is “167”, the effect control unit 240 receives the change end signal notified every time the special change effect ends, based on the fact that the change control unit 240 receives the change end signal. “1” is added to the value of the fluctuation count storage means 294, and the character lottery is performed every time the value of the fluctuation count storage means 294 reaches “15” (every time the special setting value update condition is satisfied). The value of the means 294 is reset to “0”. Then, the effect control means 240 (special setting value update means) sets the specific value determined by the character lottery in the random specific value storage means 292. Then, the effect control means 240 (display control means) displays the character of the linked game image based on the newly set value of the random specific value storage means 292. That is, in the “random display mode”, the character of the linked game image has been acquired every time the value of the random specific value storage unit 292 is updated based on the fact that the value of the variation count storage unit 294 has reached “15”. It changes randomly to either a special character or a displayed normal character.

  In the present embodiment, in the case of randomly displaying either the special character acquired as the character of the linked game image or the displayed normal character in the “random display mode”, the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is “ 59 ”or more, that is, based on the level display being“ MAX (50) ”, the value of the specific value storage means 272 is not updated, and the cooperative gaming function is activated. While set to, the “random display mode” cannot be canceled.

  When the two-dimensional code for cooperation shown in FIG. 6 is imaged by the imaging means 404, the terminal control means 400, the specific value, the number of laps, the number of mission clears, the point, the number of changes, Update information such as the number of jackpots and the number of consecutive wins. Then, the terminal control unit 400 accesses the server 82 based on the URL of the server 82 included in the cooperation two-dimensional code, and transmits update information acquired from the cooperation two-dimensional code to the server 82.

  3 is controlled by server control means 500 such as a control board, and the server control means 500 receives an input signal from server communication control means 502 such as a communication board and stores it in the server storage device 504. Various information processing is performed using the stored information, and the server communication control unit 502 and the server storage device 504 are controlled based on the processing result. As a result, the server 82 updates the stored information corresponding to the player ID in the server storage device 504 based on the update information received from the information terminal 80, or sets the player ID stored in the server storage device 504 to the player ID. Information based on the corresponding stored information is transmitted to the information terminal 80.

  Specifically, when the server control unit 500 receives a new registration request from the information terminal 80, the server control unit 500 newly registers an ID in association with the unique information of the information terminal 80, and stores storage information in association with the registered ID. An area is secured in the server storage device 504. Then, the server control unit 500 transmits the registered ID to the information terminal 80.

  Then, the server control unit 500 includes a specific value storage unit 506 (a set value storage unit, a first set value storage unit) that stores a specific value in association with an ID in the server storage device 504, and a lap number that stores a lap number. Storage means 508, clear count storage means 510 (setting value storage means, second setting value storage means) for storing the number of mission clears, and table number storage means 512 (type information storage means) for storing acquisition order table numbers And a game history storage means 514 for storing game history information such as points, number of changes, number of jackpots, number of consecutive wins, etc., an initial value “1” is set in the specific value storage means 506, and the number of laps storage means 508 Is set to the initial value “1”, the initial value “0” is set to the clear count storage means 510, and the initial value “0” is set to the game history storage means 514 That.

  The server control unit 500 (type information determining unit) determines one acquisition order table from the acquisition order table 1 to the acquisition order table 4 by lottery and sets the determined acquisition order table number in the table number storage unit 512. To do.

  Further, when the server control unit 500 receives the menu display request from the information terminal 80, the server control unit 500 specifies the ID corresponding to the unique information of the information terminal 80, and from the server storage device 504, the value of the specific value storage unit 506 corresponding to the ID, The value of the number of times storage unit 508, the value of the number of times of clearing storage unit 510, and the value of the table number storage unit 512 are read, and the read values are stored for use in various processes. Then, the server control unit 500 generates menu information based on the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506 and the number of rotations read from the circulation number storage unit 508, and transmits the generated menu information to the information terminal 80.

  Here, when the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506 is “58” or less, that is, in a state where the level of the player has not reached “MAX (50)”, the server control unit 500 performs FIG. When the first menu information for displaying the terminal menu screen shown in (A) on the information terminal 80 is generated and the specific value read from the specific value storage means 506 is “59” or more, that is, the level of the player In a state in which “MAX (50)” has been reached, second menu information for generating the terminal menu screen shown in FIG. 10B on the information terminal 80 is generated.

  When the server control unit 500 receives a game history confirmation request from the information terminal 80, the server control unit 500 generates game history information based on the points read from the game history storage unit 514, the number of changes, the number of jackpots, the number of consecutive wins, and the like. The played game history information is transmitted to the information terminal 80.

  When the server control unit 500 receives a mission confirmation request from the information terminal 80, the server control unit 500 generates mission information based on the mission clear number read from the clear number storage unit 510 and transmits the generated mission information to the information terminal 80.

  When the server control unit 500 (specific information generation unit) receives the character confirmation request from the information terminal 80, the server control unit 500 (specific information generation unit) obtains a specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character based on the number of laps read from the lap number storage unit 508. The specific value corresponding to the acquired special character is obtained based on the number of mission clears read from the clear number storage means 510 and the number of the acquisition order table read from the table number storage means 512, and based on the obtained specific value Selectable character information is generated, and the generated selectable character information is transmitted to the information terminal 80.

  Here, in order to generate selectable character information, the method for obtaining a specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character and the acquired special character is to display the displayed normal character in order to set the character lottery table described above. The server character information storage unit 516 of the server storage device 504 stores character information similar to the character information shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 in the same manner as the method for obtaining the specific value corresponding to the acquired special character. The server table storage unit 518 of the server storage device 504 stores acquisition order table 1 to acquisition order table 4 similar to acquisition order table 1 to acquisition order table 4 shown in FIG. As described above, in the “selection display mode”, the displayed normal characters are displayed as linked game images on the gaming machine 1 from the 57 types of normal characters “second character” to “58th character”. The character can be selected.

  Therefore, for example, if the number of laps read from the lap number storage means 508 is “1”, the specific values corresponding to the displayed normal characters are “2” to “49” as shown by the circles in FIG. If the number of laps read from the lap number storage means 508 is “5”, the specific values corresponding to the displayed normal characters are “2” to “ 53 ”and the number of laps read from the lap number storage means 508 is“ 10 ”, the specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character is“ 2 ”as shown by the circle in FIG. ~ "58" is required.

  Further, for example, if the mission clear count read from the clear count storage means 510 is “2” and the acquisition order table number read from the table number storage means 512 is “1”, the acquisition order shown in FIG. As shown in Table 1, the specific values corresponding to the acquired special characters are determined to be “61” and “62”, and the mission clear count read from the clear count storage means 510 is “3”. If the acquisition order table number read from the table number storage means 512 is “4”, the specific value corresponding to the acquired special character is “102” as shown in the acquisition order table 4 of FIG. , “65”, “83”.

  Further, when receiving the character setting request and the specific value from the information terminal 80, the server control unit 500 determines whether or not the specific value received from the information terminal 80 is “58” or less, that is, the specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character. It is determined whether the value is a specific value corresponding to a normal character, a specific value corresponding to a special character, or a specific value corresponding to a random display mode, which is displayed in a state where the level is “MAX (50)”. To do. Then, when the specific value received from the information terminal 80 is “58” or less, the server control unit 500 adds “108” to the specific value received from the information terminal 80. For example, when the specific value received from the information terminal 80 is “58” corresponding to the “58th character” which is the normal character, “108” is added to “58” to obtain “166”. . Then, the server control unit 500 rewrites the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506 with a specific value obtained by adding “108” to the specific value received from the information terminal 80.

  On the other hand, the specific value received from the information terminal 80 is “59” corresponding to the “59th character” which is a normal character displayed in a state where the level is “MAX (50)”, or a special character. In the case of “61” corresponding to a certain “61st character” or “167” corresponding to “random display mode”, the server control unit 500 reads the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506. Is rewritten to the specific value received from the information terminal 80.

  When the server control unit 500 receives the lap number update request from the information terminal 80, the server control unit 500 adds “1” to the value of the lap number storage unit 508 corresponding to the ID, and sets the value of the specific value storage unit 506 corresponding to the ID. Reset to the initial value “1”.

  When the server control unit 500 (cooperation information generation unit) receives the password issuance request from the information terminal 80, the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506, the number of laps read from the lap number storage unit 508, and the number of clears storage unit A password including the number of mission clears read from 510 and the number of the acquisition order table read from the table number storage unit 512 is generated, and the generated password is transmitted to the information terminal 80.

  Here, when the character setting request and the specific value are received before receiving the password issuing request from the information terminal 80, the server control unit 500 receives the specific value received from the information terminal 80 or the information terminal 80. A password including a specific value obtained by adding “108” to the received specific value is generated, and the generated password is transmitted to the information terminal 80.

  When the server control unit 500 receives the update information from the information terminal 80, the server storage unit 504 receives the value of the specific value storage unit 506 corresponding to the ID, the value of the lap number storage unit 508, the value of the clear number storage unit 510, The value of the game history storage unit 514 is read, the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506 is updated to the specific value included in the update information, and the number of laps read from the lap number storage unit 508 is included in the update information. Update the number of laps, update the number of mission clears read from the clear number storage means 510 to the number of mission clears included in the update information, and read points from the game history storage means 514, the number of fluctuations, the number of jackpots, the number of consecutive wins For example, the points included in the update information, the number of changes, the number of jackpots, the number of consecutive wins, etc. .

Then, game history information is transmitted from the server 82 to the information terminal 80, and processing for displaying the game history information is performed in the information terminal 80 (step S24).

  As shown in FIG. 11, when the information terminal 80 performs a process of accepting an operation for selecting “mission confirmation” (step S <b> 26), a mission confirmation request is transmitted from the information terminal 80 to the server 82. Then, mission information generation processing is performed (step S28). Then, mission information is transmitted from the server 82 to the information terminal 80, and processing for displaying the mission information is performed in the information terminal 80 (step S30).

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the information terminal 80 performs a process of accepting an operation for selecting the “selection display mode” (step S <b> 32), a character confirmation request is transmitted from the information terminal 80 to the server 82. The character information generation process is performed (step S34).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 16, in the character information generation process, when a character confirmation request is received by the server 82 (step S160), the displayed normal number is based on the number of laps read from the lap number storage means 508. A specific value corresponding to the character is obtained (step S164), and it corresponds to the acquired special character based on the mission clear count read from the clear count storage means 510 and the acquisition order table number read from the table number storage means 512. A specific value to be obtained is obtained (step S166). Then, selectable character information is generated based on the determined specific value (step S168), and the selectable character information is transmitted to the information terminal 80 (step S170).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 12, in the information terminal 80, a process of accepting an operation for selecting a character is performed (step S36), and “2” to “58”, which are specific values corresponding to the character selected by the player, and Any one specific value of “61” to “166” and the character setting request are transmitted from the information terminal 80 to the server 82, and the server 82 performs character setting processing (step S38).

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the information terminal 80 performs a process of accepting an operation for selecting the “random display mode” (step S40), the character setting “167” which is a specific value corresponding to the random display mode is set. The request is transmitted from the information terminal 80 to the server 82, and character setting processing is performed in the server 82 (step S38).

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the information terminal 80 performs a process of accepting an operation for selecting the “normal display mode” (step S <b> 42), the information is displayed in a state where the level is “MAX (50)”. The character setting request “59” or “60” corresponding to the character and the character setting request are transmitted from the information terminal 80 to the server 82, and the server 82 performs character setting processing (step S38).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, in the character setting process, when the character setting request and the specific value are received by the server 82 (step S190), the specific value received from the information terminal 80 is “58” or less. ("Y" in step S192), "108" is added to the specific value received from the information terminal 80 (step S194), and the specific value read from the specific value storage means 506 is added to the specific value obtained by adding "108". (Step S196). On the other hand, when the specific value received from the information terminal 80 is “59” or more (N in step S192), the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506 is rewritten to the specific value received from the information terminal 80 ( Step S196).

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the information terminal 80 performs a process of accepting an operation of selecting “update the number of laps” (step S44), a lap number update request is transmitted from the information terminal 80 to the server 82, and the server In 82, the number of laps update processing is performed (step S46).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, in the lap number update process, when the lap number update request is received by the server 82 (Y in step S220), “1” is added to the lap number storing means 508 corresponding to the ID. Then, the value of the specific value storage means 506 corresponding to the ID is reset to “1” which is an initial value (step S224).

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the information terminal 80 performs a process of accepting an operation for selecting “issue password” (step S 48), a password issuance request is transmitted from the information terminal 80 to the server 82. Then, a password issuing process is performed (step S50).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 19, in the password issuing process, when the server 82 receives a password issuance request (Y in step S240), the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506 and the number of times stored from the cycle storage unit 508 A password is generated based on the read lap count, the mission clear count read from the clear count storage means 510, and the acquisition order table number read from the table number storage means 512 (step S244), and the generated password is stored in the information terminal 80. (Step S246). Then, as shown in FIG. 13, the information terminal 80 performs a process of displaying a password (step S52).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 13, when the player performs an operation for inputting a password to the gaming machine 1, a linked gaming function setting process is performed in the gaming machine 1 (step S54), and the in-game process is performed. (Step S56).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 20, in the cooperative gaming function setting process, when a password is input in the gaming machine 1 (Y in step S260), if the password is valid (Y in step S262), the cooperative gaming The function is set to the operating state (step S264). Then, the specific value, the number of laps, the number of mission clears, and the acquisition order table number are acquired from the password (step S266), the specific value is stored in the specific value storage unit 272, the number of laps is stored in the lap number storage unit 274, and the number of mission clears. Is set in the clear count storage means 276 and the number of the acquisition order table is set in the table number storage means 278 (step S268).

  If the value of the specific value storage means 272 is “167” (Y in step S270), the specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character is obtained based on the value of the circulation number storage means 274 ( In step S272), a specific value corresponding to the acquired special character is obtained based on the value of the clear count storage means 276 and the value of the table number storage means 278 (step S274). Then, the obtained specific value is set in the character lottery table (step S276), the character lottery is performed at a predetermined opportunity (step S278), and the selected specific value is set in the random specific value storage means 292 (step S280). . Then, the character and level corresponding to the value of the random specific value storage means 292 are displayed in the cooperative game image (step S282).

  On the other hand, when the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is not “167” (N in step S270), the character and level corresponding to the value of the specific value storage unit 272 are displayed as a linked game image (step S284).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 21, in the in-game processing, when the change end signal is received in the gaming machine 1 (Y in step S300), when the value of the specific value storage means 272 is “58” or less (step In S304, Y), the point corresponding to the execution type of the special variation effect and the result of the special lottery is added to the value of the point storage means 280 (step S306).

  When the value of the point storage unit 280 reaches “100” (Y in step S308), if the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is “47” or less (Y in step S310), the value of the specific value storage unit 272 When “1” is added to the value (step S312) and the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is “48” (Y in step S314), the value of the lap count storage unit 274 is added to the value of the specific value storage unit 272. Are added (step S316), and the value of the specific value storage means 272 is equal to or smaller than “57”, that is, the value of the specific value storage means 272 is any one of “49” to “57” (step S318). Y), “59” is set to the value of the specific value storage unit 272 (step S320), and the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is not “57” or less, that is, the specific value storage unit 2 If the second value is "58" (N in step S318), "60" is set to a value of a specific value storage unit 272 (step S322). Then, a level-up effect is executed (step S324), and the character of the linked game image is changed based on the value of the specific value storage means 272 (step S326).

  Then, as shown after A in FIG. 22, it is determined whether or not the mission is cleared based on the execution type of the special variation effect or the result of the special lottery (step S328), and when the mission is cleared. (Y in step S328), “1” is added to the value of the clear count storage means 276 (step S330), and the acquired special character is based on the value of the clear count storage means 276 and the value of the table number storage means 278. A specific value corresponding to is obtained (step S332). Then, a special character acquisition effect corresponding to the obtained specific value is executed (step S334).

  If the value of the point storage means 280 does not reach “100” in step S308 of FIG. 21 (N in step S308), the characters of the linked game image are not changed and are shown after A in FIG. Processing is performed.

  In step S304, if the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is not “58” or less (N in step S304), the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is “167” as shown in FIG. Is determined (step S336), and when the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is “167” (Y in step S336), “1” is added to the value of the variation count storage unit 294. (Step S338). When the value of the variation count storage means 294 reaches “15” (Y in step S340), the value of the variation count storage means 294 is reset to “0” (step S341), and a character lottery is performed (step S342). ). Then, the specific value won in the character lottery is set in the random specific value storage unit 292 (step S344), and the character of the linked game image is changed based on the value of the random specific value storage unit 292 (step S346).

  On the other hand, even when the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is “167” (Y in step S336), if the value of the variation count storage unit 294 does not reach “15” (N in step S340), the linked game The image character is not changed.

  When the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is not “167”, that is, when the value of the specific value storage unit 272 is any one of “59” to “166” (N in step S336), the linked game image The character of is not changed.

  As shown in FIG. 13, when the game machine 1 performs a process of accepting an operation of selecting “game end” (step S58), the gaming machine 1 performs a two-dimensional code process for cooperation (step S60). ).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23, in the two-dimensional code processing for cooperation, when a game end operation is performed in the gaming machine 1 (Y in step S350), the value of the specific value storage unit 272, the number of laps storage unit 274, 2 for cooperation based on the value, the value of the clear count storage means 276, the value of the point storage means 280, the value of the fluctuation count storage means, the value of the jackpot count storage means, the value of the continuous winning count storage means, the URL of the server 82, etc. A dimension code is generated (step S352), and the two-dimensional code for cooperation is displayed on the liquid crystal display 32 (step S354). When an operation of selecting “reading completion” is performed (Y in step S356), the two-dimensional code for cooperation is deleted from the liquid crystal display 32 (step S358), the value of the specific value storage unit 272, and the number of rotations storage unit. The value of 274, the value of the clear count storage means 276, the value of the point storage means 280, the value of the fluctuation count storage means, the value of the jackpot count storage means, the value of the continuous winning count storage means, etc. are reset (step S360). The gaming function is set to a non-operating state (step S362).

  Then, as shown in FIG. 13, when the player images the two-dimensional code for cooperation displayed on the gaming machine 1 with the information terminal 80, an update information acquisition process is performed on the information terminal 80 (step S62).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 24, in the update information acquisition process, when a two-dimensional code image for cooperation is imaged at the information terminal 80 (Y in step S380), a specific value and the number of turns are obtained from the two-dimensional code image for cooperation. The mission clear count, points, variation count, jackpot count, and continuous winning count are acquired as update information (step S382), and the update information is transmitted to the server 82 (step S384).

  As shown in FIG. 13, when update information is transmitted from the information terminal 80 to the server 82, update information storage processing is performed in the server 82 (step S64).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 25, in the update information storage process, when update information is received by the server 82 (step S400), the unique information of the information terminal 80 is acquired (step S402), and based on the unique information. The ID is specified (step S404), the value of the specific value storage means 506 corresponding to the ID from the server storage device 504, the value of the lap count storage means 508, the value of the clear count storage means 510, and the value of the game history storage means 514 Read (step S406). Then, the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506 is updated to the specific value included in the update information, and the lap number read from the lap number storage unit 508 is updated to the lap number included in the update information. The number of mission clears read from the clear number storage means 510 is updated to the number of mission clears included in the update information, and the points read from the game history storage means 514, the number of changes, the number of jackpots, the number of consecutive wins Etc., the points included in the update information, the number of changes, the number of jackpots, the number of consecutive winnings, etc. are added (step S408).

  In this way, in this embodiment, when a player inputs a password to the gaming machine 1 and plays a game, the specific value of the specific value storage unit 272 is updated every time the value of the point storage unit 280 reaches “100”. Accordingly, it is possible to realize an effect specification that changes the normal character displayed as the character of the linked game image. In the present embodiment, the specific value stored in the specific value storage unit 506 is updated in the server 82 by the update information generated based on the specific value stored in the specific value storage unit 272 in the gaming machine 1. It is possible to realize an effect specification that further changes the normal character displayed as the character of the linked game image. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to cause a player to repeatedly play a game, with the incentive to change the normal character displayed as the character of the linked game image.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the level display is any one of “1” to “48”, the normal character corresponding to the level display is displayed as the character of the linked game image regardless of the value of the lap number storage means 274. However, in the state where the level display is “49”, a different normal character is displayed as a character of the cooperative game image according to the value of the lap number storage means 274, and the level display is “MAX (50)”. Then, different normal characters are displayed when the value of the circulation number storage means 274 is not the maximum value (“1” to “9”) and when it is the maximum value (“10”). Therefore, according to the present embodiment, even after the level display reaches “MAX (50)”, the normal display is different between the state where the level display is “49” and the state where the level display is “MAX (50)”. It is possible to update the number of laps and cause the player to play the game repeatedly, inviting that the character is displayed as the character of the linked game image.

  And in this embodiment, based on the value of the specific value memory | storage means 272 and the value of the frequency | count count memory | storage means 274, updating the level display of a cooperation game image and a normal character based on the value of the specific value memory | storage means 272, In the state where the level display is “49” and the level display is “MAX (50)”, since different normal characters are displayed as the characters of the linked game image, the amount of information included in the password can be suppressed. it can.

  In this embodiment, when the level display does not reach “MAX (50)” (when the acquired special character or the displayed normal character is not selected by the player in the information terminal 80), the point storage means Each time the value of 280 reaches “100”, the specific value stored in the specific value storage means 272 is updated, so that the normal character displayed as the character of the linked game image is changed. (50) ”, the player can select the“ selection display mode ”in the information terminal 80, and the acquired special character or the displayed normal character is selected by the player in the information terminal 80. The selected special character or displayed normal character as the character of the linked game image. It is possible to realize a performance specification to be displayed Te.

  In the present embodiment, as the number of mission clears increases, the number of special characters that can be selected by the player also increases. However, in the gaming machine 1, the server uses the update information generated based on the number of mission clears in the clear number storage means 276. Since the number of mission clears of the clear number storage means 510 is updated at 82, it is possible to realize an effect specification that can increase the number of special characters that can be selected in the “selection display mode” as the game is repeated. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to cause the player to repeatedly play the game, with the incentive to increase the number of special characters that can be selected as the characters of the linked game image.

  In the present embodiment, when the level display reaches “MAX (50)”, the player can select the “random display mode” on the information terminal 80, and the “random display mode” is set to the information terminal 80. When the player is selected in the above, it is possible to realize an effect specification in which the acquired special character or the displayed normal character is randomly displayed as the character of the linked game image every time the special variation effect is performed 15 times. it can.

  And in this embodiment, the special character displayed at random increases as the number of mission clears increases, but since the number of mission clears of the clear number storage means 510 is updated in the server 82 by the update information as described above, As the game is repeated, it is possible to realize an effect specification that can increase the number of special characters displayed in the “random display mode”. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to cause the player to repeatedly play the game, with the incentive to increase the number of special characters that can be selected as the characters of the linked game image.

  In this embodiment, since it is possible to determine that the player has selected “random display mode” on the information terminal 80 based on the setting of “167” in the specific value storage means 272, the password is The amount of information to be included can be suppressed.

4). Modifications The present invention is not limited to those described in the above embodiment, and various modifications can be made. Modifications will be introduced below. Note that the above-described embodiment and various methods described below as modified examples can be appropriately combined and employed as a control method for realizing the present invention.

4-1. Modified example related to the selection display mode For example, in the above-described embodiment, an example in which the “selection display mode” can be selected on the condition that the level display is “MAX (50)” has been described. The “selection display mode” may be selected even when the display is not “MAX (50)”. In this case, in the character information generation process, the specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character is determined by the server 82 based on the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506 and the number of laps read from the lap number storage unit 508. Is required. If the “selection display mode” is selected while the level display is not “MAX (50)”, the level display may not be performed.

  Further, in the above embodiment, when “selection display mode” is selected, the server 82 performs the character information generation processing to generate selectable character information. However, the selection of the server storage device 504 is described. Possible character information storage means is provided. In this selectable character information storage means, specific values corresponding to displayed normal characters and acquired special characters are stored, and can be selected when a character confirmation request is received. Selectable character information may be generated based on a specific value read from the character information storage means. In this case, when the update information storing process is performed in the server 82, a specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character is obtained based on the specific value and the number of laps included in the update information, and the mission included in the update information is obtained. Based on the number of times of clearing and the number in the acquisition order table read from the table number storage unit 512, a specific value corresponding to the acquired special character is obtained, and the obtained specific value is stored in the selectable character information storage unit of the server storage device 504. You may make it preserve | save.

  In the gaming machine 1, selectable character information storage means is provided in the sub-memory 670, and a specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character can be selected each time the value of the point storage means 280 reaches “100”. A specific value corresponding to the special character acquired each time the mission is cleared is stored in the storage means, and is stored in the selectable character information storage means, which can be selected when performing the two-dimensional code processing for cooperation in the gaming machine 1 A specific value corresponding to a displayed normal character included in the update information when the two-dimensional code for cooperation is generated based on the specific value stored in the character information storage means and the update information saving process is performed in the server 82 Alternatively, a specific value corresponding to the acquired special character can be selected from the server storage device 504. It may be stored in the data information storage means.

  In the above-described embodiment, the example has been described in which the selectable character information is generated based on the specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character and the specific value corresponding to the acquired special character. If the character information and the acquisition order table 1 to the acquisition order table 4 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 are stored, the number of mission clears corresponding to the ID as the selectable character information from the server 82 to the information terminal 80 and the acquisition order table The special character that can be selected by the player in the information terminal 80 can be specified.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although any one of the acquisition order table 1-the acquisition order table 4 was set for every ID, and the example which changes the acquisition order of a special character for every ID was demonstrated, the acquisition order table was made into all The ID may be shared, and the acquisition order of special characters may not be changed for each ID. In this case, the specific value corresponding to the acquired special character can be obtained in the server 82 based on the value of the clear count storage means 510. In the gaming machine 1, the value of the clear count storage means 276 is obtained. Can be determined based on In this case, if the acquisition order table is stored in the information terminal 80, the server 82 transmits the number of mission clears corresponding to the ID as selectable character information to the information terminal 80. A special character that can be selected by the person can be specified.

4-2. Modified Example Regarding Random Display Mode In the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the “random display mode” can be selected on the condition that the level display is in a state of “MAX (50)”. The “random display mode” may be selected even when the display is not “MAX (50)”. In this case, in the gaming machine 1, a specific value corresponding to the displayed normal character is obtained based on the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 272 and the number of laps read from the lap number storage unit 274. If “random display mode” is selected when the level display is not “MAX (50)”, the level display may not be performed.

  In the above embodiment, when the “random display mode” is selected, a character lottery table is set in the gaming machine 1 and a character lottery is performed with reference to the character lottery table every time a predetermined opportunity comes. As described above, the example of determining the special character to be displayed as the character of the cooperative game image has been described. However, the character number lottery table is not set, and the value of the table number storage unit 278 is corresponded each time a predetermined trigger comes. Referring to the acquisition order table, special characters are displayed as linked game image characters according to the acquired order, and after displaying all acquired special characters, normal characters are linked according to the displayed order. After displaying as a game image character and displaying all the displayed normal characters, Beauty, may be caused to display special characters as a character of the cooperation game image as the acquisition order.

  Here, when the special character is displayed as the character of the linked game image in the acquired order, the specific value corresponding to the acquired special character is based on the value of the clear count storage means 510 in the server 82. In the gaming machine 1, it can be obtained based on the value of the clear count storage means 276.

  In the above embodiment, when the “random display mode” is selected, the character of the linked game image is changed by performing the character lottery every time the value of the variation number storage means 294 reaches “15”. As described above, each time a change end signal is received, a character change lottery is performed to determine whether or not to change the character of the linked game image, and when the character change lottery is won, the character of the linked game image is changed. You may make it do.

  In the above embodiment, while the cooperative gaming function is set to the activated state, the character lottery table at the time of password input is used, even if a new mission is cleared and the value of the clear count storage means 276 is updated. Although an example of not resetting the character lottery table has been described, the character lottery table may be reset every time a new mission is cleared and the value of the clear count storage means 276 is updated.

4-3. Other Modifications In the above embodiment, when the server 82 receives the character setting request and the specific value from the information terminal 80, the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506 is changed to the specific value or information received from the information terminal 80. The specific value received from the terminal 80 is rewritten to a specific value obtained by adding “108”, and when a password issuance request is received from the information terminal 80, a password including the rewritten specific value is generated. When the character setting request and the specific value are received from the information terminal 80, the specific value received from the information terminal 80 or the specific value obtained by adding “108” to the specific value received from the information terminal 80 is stored in the specific value storage unit 506. When the password issuance request is received from the information terminal 80, the value of the specific value storage means 506 is read out again, A password including a specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506 may be generated.

  In the above embodiment, when the server 82 receives the update information from the information terminal 80, the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506 is described as an example of updating to the specific value included in the update information. When the specific value included in the information is “59” or more, the specific value read from the specific value storage unit 506 may not be updated to the specific value included in the update information.

  In the above embodiment, when the server 82 receives the update information from the information terminal 80, the value of the lap number storage unit 508 is updated to the lap number included in the update information. However, such an update is not performed. Alternatively, the number of laps may not be included in the two-dimensional code for cooperation.

  In the above embodiment, an example in which an operation for selecting “update the number of laps” is accepted in the information terminal 80 has been described. However, an operation for selecting “update the number of laps” in the gaming machine 1 may be accepted. Good.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the example in which the player ID is not included in the password has been described, but the player ID may be included in the password.

  In addition, each of a plurality of types of characters may be different types of characters because the basic character such as a person is the same but the costume of the basic character is different. You may make it become the character of.

  An input receiving means for paying out a game medium according to a result of a game using the game medium, the input receiving unit receiving input of cooperation information generated based on a set value stored as stored information in the server; When the input of the cooperation information is accepted, the setting value storage means for setting the setting value acquired from the cooperation information, and the setting value storage means each time the setting value update condition is satisfied by playing the game A setting value updating means for updating the setting value, a special setting value storage means for setting a given special setting value, and the special setting from a plurality of special setting values based on the setting value acquired from the linkage information A specifying means for specifying a special setting value that can be set in the value storage means, and the special setting value stored in the special setting value storage means before each time the special setting value update condition is satisfied by playing the game. Special setting value updating means for updating within a range of special setting values specified by the specifying means, character information storage means for storing character information in which different special setting values are associated with each of a plurality of types of characters, and the character Based on the information, display control means for displaying the character corresponding to the special setting value of the special setting value storage means on the effect display means, and when the end condition is satisfied, based on the setting value of the setting value storage means Then, update information generating means for generating update information for updating the stored information and update information output means for outputting the update information to the outside may be provided.

  In this way, when the player inputs the linkage information to the gaming machine and plays a game, the setting value stored in the setting value storage means is updated each time the setting value update condition is satisfied. When the special setting value that can be set in the value storage means changes and the special setting value in the special setting value storage means is updated each time the special setting value update condition is satisfied, the character displayed on the display means is changed. The changing production specifications can be realized. In the present invention, when the stored information is updated by the update information generated based on the setting value of the setting value storage means, and the game is started again after the game is ended, the player If the linkage information is input to the game, it is possible to play the game with the set value taken over, so that the special setting value that can be set in the special setting value storage means changes as the game is repeated, and is displayed on the display means.
