JP 2009-160117 A

  In a game machine such as Patent Document 1, a plurality of types of cards on which predetermined images are printed in advance are used as character cards. In this case, the character card is limited to a plurality of types. Therefore, there is a high possibility that many players own the same character card. On the other hand, a change according to the game result is given to the parameter, and a character card may be generated based on the parameter after the change. In this case, the uniqueness of each character card can be improved as compared with the case where only a plurality of types of character cards are prepared in advance. However, even in such a case, a plurality of character cards that define similar characters may be generated depending on the situation. For example, when an upper limit is set for the parameters of each character, if the upper limit is reached, all of them correspond to similar characters.

  Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a game system or the like that can generate a game recording medium with higher specificity.

  The game system of the present invention is a game system that provides a game played through each play medium, and uses each game play result as a first change condition, and defines each play medium based on the play result. A first change applying means for applying a first change to the parameter to be played, and a second change condition prepared separately from the first change condition, and the parameters of the play medium satisfying the second change condition and A second change applying unit that applies a second change to at least one of the parameters after the first change after the first change is applied; and the first change applying unit or the second change applying unit. The game information including information on the parameter after the first change or the parameter after the second change after the second change is applied is recorded based on the result of As beam for recording medium is generated, and a, and information providing means for providing the game information.

  The control method of the present invention is applied to a game system that provides a game played through each play medium, uses the play result of the game as a first change condition, and defines each play medium based on the play result The first change giving procedure for giving a first change to the parameter to be played, and the second change condition prepared separately from the first change condition, and the parameters of the play medium satisfying the second change condition and A second change applying procedure for applying a second change to at least one of the parameters after the first change after the first change is applied; and the first change applying procedure or the second change applying procedure. A game for recording game information including information on the parameter after the first change or the parameter after the second change after the second change is given based on the result of As the recording medium is generated, and a, and the information providing procedures for providing the game information.

  Further, the computer program for the game system of the present invention uses a computer incorporated in a game system that provides a game played through each play medium as a first change condition, and uses the game play result as the play result. Based on the first change applying means for applying a first change to the parameters defining each play medium, the second change condition prepared separately from the first change condition is used, and the second change condition is satisfied. Second change applying means for applying a second change to at least one of the parameter of the play medium and the parameter after the first change after the first change is applied, and the first change applying means Alternatively, based on the application result of the second change applying means, the second change after the first change parameter or the second change is applied.

  Hereinafter, a game machine applied to a game system according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing an appearance of a game machine applied to a game system according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the game machine GM includes a housing 6. A control panel CP, a monitor MO, and a speaker SP are provided on the top of the housing 6. The monitor MO is disposed above the control panel CP. Further, the speaker SP is disposed further above the monitor MO. In addition to the control panel CP, the game machine GM is provided with various input devices and output devices provided in a normal business game machine such as a volume operation switch, a power switch, and a power lamp. In FIG. 1, these are not shown.

  The control panel CP is provided with a direction selection operation section CP1 that can select a direction, a button CP2 that can be used for determination, a code reader 7, and a coin insertion slot SO. The code reader 7 is configured to be able to read a two-dimensional code and output a signal according to the read result. Various game cards 8 are inserted into the code reader 7. A two-dimensional code is printed on the game card 8. The code reader 7 reads this two-dimensional code. A card discharge port EO1 and a coin discharge port EO2 are provided on the front surface of the housing 6. The card outlet EO1 is used for discharging the game card 8 generated inside the housing 6. The control panel CP is provided with various operation units such as buttons that can be used for determining the operation, etc., but these are not shown.

  Next, the main part of the control system of the game machine GM will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a main part of a control system of the game machine GM. As shown in FIG. 1, the game machine GM is provided with a control unit 10 as a computer, a storage unit 11, the above-described code reader 7, and a printer 12. The storage unit 11, the code reader 7 and the printer 12 are all connected to the control unit 10. The control unit 10 is configured as a computer unit combining a microprocessor and various peripheral devices such as an internal storage device (for example, ROM and RAM) necessary for the operation of the microprocessor. In addition to the control panel CP, the monitor MO, and the speaker SP, the control unit 10 includes various input devices or output devices such as a coin authentication device or a card reading device as well as known game machines. Although they can be connected, their illustration is omitted.

  The code reader 7 is a known device for reading a two-dimensional code. The code reader 7 reads the two-dimensional code printed on the game card 8 and outputs a signal corresponding to the read result to the control unit 10. The printer 12 is a known printing apparatus for printing images, symbols (including a two-dimensional code), characters, and the like on a predetermined recording medium. The printer 12 records various information (including images, characters, symbols) and the like on a card-like paper medium (recording medium) based on an output signal from the control unit 10 to generate a game card 8. To do.

  The storage unit 11 is configured by, for example, a magnetic recording medium, an optical recording medium, a flash SSD (Solid State Drive), or the like so that the storage can be held without power supply. A game program 14 is stored in the storage unit 11. The game program 14 is a computer program necessary for the game machine GM to provide a card game. Details of the card game will be described later.

  Along with the execution of the game program, the control unit 10 is provided with a game providing unit 15. The game providing unit 15 executes various processes for providing a card game described later. The game providing unit 15 is a logical device realized by a combination of computer hardware and a computer program. Various other logical devices may be provided inside the control unit 10, but these are not shown.

  The storage unit 11 also stores game data 16 that can be referred to as the game program 14 is executed. The game data 16 includes, for example, image data, sound effect data, ID management data, image data 16b, and the like. The sound effect data is data for reproducing various sounds such as music. The ID management data is data for managing various IDs such as a card ID described later. The image data is data for displaying various images necessary for the game (including an image for printing the game card 8). The image data includes, for example, format data 16a. The format data 16a is data for expressing a basic format portion such as a frame line for separating various areas of the game card 8, that is, a fixed portion. The image data 16b is data for printing the game card 8. Details of the game card 8 will be described later.

  Next, a card game provided by the game machine GM will be described. The game machine GM provides a card game using the game card 8. For example, a character card as a game recording medium is used as the game card 8. Various kinds of game information are recorded on the character card for card games. The game information includes parameter information for defining a character and card ID information for identifying each character card. The card ID is a unique ID for each character card. Each character is managed based on the card ID. The character card functions as a card that defines the character used in the card game via the parameter information. Details of the character card will be described later.

  The card game is a type of game in which a character defined by a character card prepared by a player is reproduced during the game and used as a play medium. In the game, battles, missions, and the like are executed through characters reproduced by character cards. A battle or mission may be executed by a plurality of characters. In such a case, a plurality of character cards may be used for character reproduction. Furthermore, the character grows through such battles and missions. That is, information (contents) of various parameters that define the character changes through game play. As a result, the development of characters reproduced by the character card is also provided as a game element. Then, a character that has grown through the game play is further generated as a character card. That is, a character card for recording information on the parameters after growth is further generated. This character card can be used for the next and subsequent play. Therefore, characters in the game are continuously nurtured through the character card.

  Next, the details of the character card will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram schematically showing an example of the contents of the character card. As shown in FIG. 3, the composite image CI is printed on the character card KC. The composite image CI includes a basic information area BA, a code information area CA, an image area IA, and a feature information area FA. In these areas BA, CA, IA, and FA, information on each item that functions as a parameter that defines a character is displayed. That is, the parameter includes a plurality of items, and the composite image CI includes information corresponding to each item.

  Specifically, in the basic information area BA, an item of the name of the character (“Kiku”), an item of the name of the player who owns the card (“Shoji”), or attack power (“HP”, “AT”) , "SP") character basic item information and the like are displayed. In the image area IA, a character image MG is displayed as an image item of the character. The character image MG corresponds to a character image reproduced during the game by the character card KC. In the game, the character image MG or the composite image CI itself is displayed as the character of the play medium. In the feature information area FA, information on items characterizing the character, such as option items (“Koweki”, etc.) that can be executed by the character in the game, and character level items (“Lv11”) are displayed.

  Note that the information on the option item (such as “Kogeki”) is used as a lottery candidate for an option (game progress action) executed by the character, for example. Therefore, an option that is displayed in duplicate, such as “Kojigeki”, is more likely to be selected than a single option. As an example, each option may be classified and managed as “I” or “II”. A lottery range is set for each classification. For example, when the option “LV2” in “I” is selected, the lottery range may be changed to the classification “II”. Each option of the option item may be used in this way as an example.

  Similarly, in the code information area CA, a two-dimensional code CG generated in accordance with a predetermined standard so as to include game information such as parameter information and card ID information is displayed. Then, through this two-dimensional code CG, the character card KC provides the game machine GM with information on each area, that is, information on each parameter item and card ID information. Further, as described above, the character grows through the game. That is, the content of the parameter for defining the character changes according to the game result. And the character card KC is produced | generated based on the content of the parameter after the change after the change. For this reason, these areas BA, CA, IA, and FA are configured as variable areas. That is, information (or images) to be displayed in these areas BA, CA, IA, and FA changes according to the game result. On the other hand, the positions and ranges of these areas BA, CA, IA, and FA do not change. That is, the boundary lines that delimit these areas BA, CA, IA, and FA are arranged as fixed portions, that is, the basic format FI. The basic format FI is expressed by the format data 16a as described above. On the other hand, the composite image CI is configured by synthesizing the parameter information and the image of the basic format FI so that the parameter information is arranged in the variable areas of the areas BA, CA, IA, and FA. . The composite image CI is expressed by the above-described image data 16b.

  Note that the two-dimensional code CG may include information on parameter items that are not displayed in the composite image CI. That is, some items of parameters defining the character may not be displayed in the composite image CI. Accordingly, the two-dimensional code CG may include information other than information on each item of parameters displayed on the composite image CI. Similarly, the composite image CI may include parameter information that is not included in the two-dimensional code CG. In this case, parameter items not included in the two-dimensional code CG may not be used in the game. Accordingly, the parameters may include items or information that are not used in the game.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the aspect in which the contents of various parameters defining the character change will be further described. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an aspect in which the contents of various parameters defining the character change. As shown in FIG. 4, the game machine GM uses a card game play result and a special change condition to change a parameter defining a character. The game play is as described above. That is, the game machine GM reproduces the character corresponding to the initial character card KC in the card game when the character card KC (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the initial character card KC) is used as described above. Specifically, the initial character card KC provides the game machine GM with parameters (hereinafter may be referred to as initial parameters), and the game machine GM reproduces the character in the game based on the initial parameters. In addition, the game machine GM gives a change (first change) to the initial parameter by using a result of a mission or the like in the card game. That is, the game machine GM uses the card game play result as the initial parameter change condition (first change condition). Then, based on the parameter after the change (after the first change) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the parameter after the change in play), a new character card KC (hereinafter referred to as the character card KC after the change in play) separately from the initial character card KC. May be called). Specifically, the game machine GM generates a post-change character card KC by printing a composite image CI including information about the post-change parameter on the recording medium HM through the printer 12.

  Further, the game machine GM prepares a special change condition (second change condition) separately from the change condition using the play result of the card game. The game machine GM gives a change (second change) to the parameter that defines the character even when the special change condition is satisfied. For example, the game machine GM provides a limited-time event in addition to the card game. In addition, as a limited-time event, for example, a competition in which some players (or characters) participate and compete for results may be provided. Some players may be determined by, for example, a willingness to participate in the tournament (selection of an option for participating in the tournament, etc.). Such a tournament may be realized through a card game. That is, as an example, the game machine GM may provide a limited-time tournament using a card game in addition to a card game. In this case, the game machine GM may use, for example, presence or absence of participation in this tournament as the special change condition. Specifically, for example, a condition that is satisfied when participating in the tournament may be employed as the special change condition. That is, in this case, the special change condition is satisfied by some characters participating in the tournament.

  In addition, as a special change condition, a condition that is satisfied when participating in a plurality of tournaments (may be a specific tournament) may be employed. Alternatively, as a special change condition, a condition that is satisfied when a predetermined score is obtained in the tournament may be employed. In addition, for example, when a ranking (ranking) is set for each player's play result as the predetermined score, this ranking may be used. More specifically, as an example, the special change condition may be satisfied by a character whose ranking result in the tournament is a predetermined rank or higher (for example, within 10th ranking). Moreover, participation in a tournament or a ranking result may be judged based on card ID as an example. Further, when a different card ID is given to each character card KC every time the character card KC is generated, for example, a history (relationship) of card IDs may be managed between the character cards KC before and after growth. . When any of the character cards KC before and after the growth satisfies the special change condition, the change based on the special change condition may be given to any of the character cards KC before and after the growth.

  The game machine GM determines whether or not the special change condition is satisfied as described above after the game is played. Then, in addition to the change based on the above-described game play result (first change), the character that satisfies the special change condition is further given a change based on the special change condition (second change). Specifically, a change based on the special change condition is given to the post-play change parameter. Then, similarly to the case where the card game is played, based on the parameter after the change (after the second change) to which the change based on the special change condition is given (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the parameter after the special change), In addition to the initial character card KC, a new character card KC (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a specially changed character card KC) is generated. Specifically, the game machine GM generates the specially-changed character card KC by printing the composite image CI including the special-change parameter information on the recording medium HM through the printer 12.

  The change based on the game result and the change based on the special change condition may be different. For example, in the special change condition, a change that does not occur due to a change based on the game result may be given. In such a case, the attractiveness of the parameters after the special change can be further enhanced. As an example, a basic item of a character such as HP may have a limit in a change based on a game result, but a change exceeding the limit may be given in a change based on a special change condition. Or the option which can be provided only by special change conditions may be prepared. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the character card after the special change when a change specific to the special change condition occurs. As shown in FIG. 5, “Special Summon” is displayed as one of the option items in this case. “Special Summon” may be used as an option that can only be granted under special modification conditions. This option may also be used in the game.

  Similarly, there may be a character image MG that can be given only under special change conditions. As an example of such a character image MG, for example, an image in which information such as “XX tournament winner!” Or “ranking first place!” Is added to the character image may be used. Furthermore, with the addition of such information, the character image MG may be given a change such as a normal character wearing a crown (see FIG. 5). Such an image may be displayed only on the character card KC, for example. In other words, the character card KC is added with the information “1st ranking!” (See FIG. 5) in the character image MG, while the character image MG reproduced in the game based on the character card KC is “ “No. 1 ranking!” May not be displayed (that is, a normal character image MG similar to the character card KC after the change in play may be used). Similarly, a crown is added to the character image MG of the character card KC. On the other hand, a character image MG in a normal state without a crown is included in the character reproduced in the game based on the character card KC. May be used. Therefore, parameter items that are not used for playing the game may be changed according to the special change condition.

  In addition, the basic format FI may change with changes based on the special change conditions. For example, as such a change, an additional information area for displaying additional information such as “ranking first place!” May be provided. That is, a basic format that further includes an additional information area may be used with a change based on the special change condition. As an example, the additional information area may be arranged below the basic information area BA so that the basic information area BA is reduced and corresponds to the reduced area. Alternatively, the range, shape, position, etc. of each area BA, CA, IA, FA such as the basic information area BA may be changed. Specifically, for example, the lower part of the basic information area BA is enlarged toward the image area IA, while the image area IA is reduced in accordance with the enlargement of the basic information area BA, and the basic information area BA is enlarged. Additional information such as “No. 1 ranking!” May be displayed in the area. In such a case, the format data 16a may include data for realizing a basic format corresponding to these.

  Similarly, the parameter items to be changed may be different between the change target based on the game result and the change target based on the special change condition. For example, in the change based on the game result, the basic item of the character such as HP is the object of change, while in the change based on the special change condition, the option item may be the object of change. As described above, various modes may be adopted for the change based on the game result and the change based on the special change condition.

  Furthermore, the expiration date may be set for the character card KC after the special change. Therefore, information regarding the expiration date may be recorded on the specially-changed character card KC. In addition, as an example of use restriction, a period restriction that restricts use within a predetermined period may be employed. In this case, the character based on the special change parameter cannot be used after the expiration date. Therefore, the motivation for the change based on the special change condition can be given again. Thereby, the play of a game can be promoted. In addition, as a use restriction, for example, a restriction based on the owner or a restriction limiting a mission imposed in the game may be employed. In these cases, for example, the rarity of the character based on the post-special change parameter can be increased.

  Moreover, the specially-changed character card KC after the expiration date may be used as a normal character card KC. That is, it may be used as a character card KC of a character to which no change based on the special change condition is given (a character before the change is given). Therefore, for example, when the basic item of the character such as HP is rising as a change based on the special change condition, the character defined by the basic item of the (original) character before the increase is reproduced in the game. May be. And after a play, you may produce | generate as a post-change character card KC (normal character card KC) in which a play result was reflected in the basic item of the character before a rise. Further, the expiration date may be set as a part of the change based on the special change condition. For example, when both the increase of the basic item of the character such as HP and the addition of information such as “ranking first place” are used as the change based on the special change condition, the expiration date is used only for the increase of the basic item of the character. May be set. That is, after the expiration date of use, the basic item of the character that affects the game development returns to the original (before the rise), while the addition of the honor information “ranking first place” may be left.

  Next, the reproduction process, the post-play card issuing process, and the special card issuing process will be described. The reproduction process is a process for acquiring game information from the character card KC and reproducing the character during the game. The post-play card issuing process is a process for generating the post-change character card KC or the special post-change character card KC in FIG. On the other hand, the special card issuance process is a process for giving a change to the character parameter based on the special change condition. These processes are executed by the control unit 10, for example. More specifically, these processes are executed by the game providing unit 15 through the routines shown in FIGS. The control unit 10 performs various other well-known processes necessary for providing a card game through the game providing unit 15, for example, but detailed description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of a reproduction processing routine. As an example, the routine of FIG. 6 is executed every time the code reader 7 reads the two-dimensional code CG of the character card KC. When the routine of FIG. 6 is started, the game providing unit 15 first obtains game information recorded on the character card KC in step S11. Specifically, based on a signal output from the code reader 7, game information included in the two-dimensional code CG of the character card KC is acquired. The game information includes parameter information, that is, information on each item of the basic information area BA, the code information area CA, the image area IA, and the feature information area FA.

  In the next step S12, the game providing unit 15 generates reproduction data for reproducing the character defined by the character card KC during the game, based on the game information acquired in step S11. This reproduction data includes, for example, image data of an image corresponding to the character image MG acquired in step S11. The reproduction data includes information on other parameters acquired in step S11.

  In the next step S13, the game providing unit 15 outputs the reproduction data generated in step S12 to a predetermined storage area, and ends the current routine. As the predetermined storage area, for example, an area such as an internal storage device of the control unit 10 or a storage unit 11 in which various data usable in the game are stored at least temporarily may be used. The reproduction data is stored in a predetermined storage area, and is appropriately used depending on the situation such as game development. As a result, a character having characteristics or the like defined by the character card KC is reproduced in the game with an image (such as the composite image CI or the character image MG) similar to the display on the character card KC.

  On the other hand, FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of a post-play card issuing process routine. The routine in FIG. 7 is executed each time a predetermined operation for printing a character card is executed, for example. Alternatively, the routine of FIG. 7 may be executed every time the game ends. When the routine of FIG. 7 is started, the game providing unit 15 first acquires game information of a character card KC (for example, an initial character card KC) used for playing the game in step S21. This acquisition may be executed based on the output signal of the code reader 7 as in the routine of FIG. The game information includes parameter information.

  In subsequent step S22, the game providing unit 15 acquires a game result, that is, a play result of the card game. In the next step S23, the game providing unit 15 gives a change to the parameter information acquired in step S21 based on the game result acquired in step S22. Specifically, for example, when the level of the character increases based on the game result, the information of the parameter level item is changed (for example, “Lv11” → “Lv12”). Alternatively, when basic items of characters such as HP, AT, and SP rise based on the game result, these items are changed. That is, in step S23, the game providing unit 15 reflects the game result on each item of the parameter that defines the character.

  In subsequent step S24, the game providing unit 15 determines whether or not the character corresponding to the target character card KC further satisfies the special change condition. If the determination result is a positive result, that is, if the special change condition is satisfied, the game providing unit 15 proceeds to step S25. In step S <b> 25, the game providing unit 15 executes a special card issuing process described later.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S24 is a negative result, that is, if the special change condition is not satisfied, or if the special card issuance process is completed in step S25, the game providing unit 15 proceeds to step S26. In step S26, the composite image CI including information on the changed parameter after the change is given in the game providing unit 15 and step S23 or the changed parameter after the change is given in the special card issuing process described later is displayed. Image data 16b to be expressed is generated. Therefore, the composite image CI reflects the game result and the result of the special card issuance process. Further, since the composite image CI also includes the two-dimensional code CG, the image data 16b also includes data for expressing the two-dimensional code CG. As a result, game information including parameter information and other information is recorded in the composite image CI.

  In the next step S27, the game providing unit 15 prints the image data 16b to the printer so that the composite image CI is printed on the recording medium HM based on the image data 16b generated in step S26 and the character card KC is generated. 12 (provided). That is, the game providing unit 15 provides the image data 16b to the printer 12 via the composite image CI so that game information including information on the changed parameters is recorded on the character card KC. And the game provision part 15 complete | finishes this routine, after finishing the process of step S27.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart of a special card issuing process routine. The routine of FIG. 8 is called and executed in step S25 of the routine of FIG. When the routine of FIG. 8 is started, the game providing unit 15 first acquires information on the changed parameter after the change is added in step S23 of the routine of FIG. 7 in step S31.

  In subsequent step S32, a change corresponding to the special change condition is further added to the parameter information after the change acquired in step S31. As an example, when ranking ranking is used as the special change condition and addition of information corresponding to the ranking is adopted as the change, in step S32, the game providing unit 15 first determines the ranking ranking of the target character. Get information. This acquisition is executed based on the card ID, for example. And the game provision part 15 provides the character image MG with the information corresponding to the order based on the information of the acquired ranking order. As an example, a change based on the special change condition is given in this way. And the game provision part 15 complete | finishes this routine, after complete | finishing the process of step S32, and progresses to step S26 of FIG. After that, the game providing unit 15 executes the processes after step S26 described above. By executing the routine of FIG. 7, the game result is reflected in the parameters of the initial character card KC, and the post-change character card KC that records the parameters after the change based on the game result is generated. Further, by executing the routine of FIG. 8, the special change after the change corresponding to the special change condition is given by further reflecting the result of the special card issuing process in the parameter after the change based on the game result. Later character cards are generated.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, not only a change due to the play result of the card game but also a change is given to the parameter when a special change condition such as participation in a tournament is satisfied. Thereby, for example, a change that cannot occur simply by playing a normal card game, such as a character image MG to which information such as “XX tournament participation!” Is added, can be generated as a parameter. Therefore, the variation of the parameter change can be increased compared to the case where only the change based on the play result is given. Then, the composite image CI generated so as to include the parameter information after the change is printed on the recording medium HM, and the character card KC is generated. That is, the character card KC is generated based on the changed parameter. Thereby, compared with the case where the character card KC is produced | generated only using a play result, the variation of the character card KC can be increased. For example, when each parameter item reaches an upper limit, even when a similar character card KC is generated only by the change based on the play result, the parameter can be further changed. Accordingly, it is possible to generate a character card KC with higher uniqueness (or uniqueness). Each change is also visually provided through the composite image CI. Thereby, the uniqueness of the character card KC can be further improved. Thereby, since the interest property of a game can be improved, the play of a game can further be accelerated | stimulated.

  This invention is not limited to the above-mentioned form, It can implement with a suitable form. In the above-described embodiment, the change based on the special change condition is given after the change based on the play result. For example, the change based on the play result and the change based on the special change condition are executed as a series of processes by the routines of FIGS. However, the present invention is not limited to such a form. For example, the change based on the special change condition may be given before a battle or a mission (before play). Therefore, for example, it is determined whether or not the special change condition is satisfied with the use (reading) of the character card KC, and when the special change condition is satisfied, based on the character after the change based on the special change condition is given. A game may be played. In this case, for example, processing corresponding to step S24 and step S25 of the routine of FIG. 7 may be executed after step S11 of the routine of FIG. Then, in step S12 of the routine of FIG. 6, reproduction data reflecting the processing results of steps S24 and S25 may be generated. In this case, step S24 and step S25 may be omitted in the routine of FIG. Or the change based on a special change condition may be provided irrespective of the change based on the play or play result of a game. Such a change based on the special change condition may be executed, for example, with selection of a selection button that can be selected regardless of the card game play. That is, even if the card game is not played, it is determined whether or not a special change condition is satisfied by selecting the selection button, and a change may be given based on the determination result. Therefore, a change based on the special change condition may be given to the initial parameter.
