Thus, the operation of the drive source 62a is controlled so that the movable member 61 is displaced to the positions P1 to P3.

  When the movable member 61 is positioned at the parent drop position P1, the medal M dropped from the side of the table 31 is collected as a parent drop medal. When the movable member 61 is positioned at the user collection position P2, the medal M dropped from the side of the table 31 is guided to the dropping unit 34 by the guide surface 61a of the movable member 61. As a result, the medal M is handled in the same manner as the medal M dropped on the dropping unit 34. The medal M is detected by the IC reader 37, and a reward corresponding to the medal M is given to the user. When the movable member 61 is positioned at the parent drop prevention position P3, the movable member 61 is positioned above the upper surface of the table 31 on the side of the table 31 to prevent the medal M from falling.

  With reference to FIG. 2, an outline of the flow of medals M in the game field GF will be described. The user pays a fee to the store operator who installs the game machine 2 or consumes virtual currency according to the number of play medals lent. When a user inserts a play medal into the medal slot 21, it is counted as a credit and recorded in the storage unit 73. When the user operates the insertion operation lever 22, the blue medal M1 is supplied onto the game field GF via the medal insertion guide 45. At this time, when the user operates the operation unit 3, the insertion direction of the medal insertion guide 45 is changed. On the table 31 and the pusher table 32 of the game field GF, medals M1 to M4 are laid in contact with each other. When the medal M1 is inserted, the pushing force by the reciprocating motion of the pusher table 32 is transmitted to the medal M spread from the front end portion of the pusher table 32 to the front end portion of the table 31, and is located at the front end portion of the table 31. The medal M is pushed out and falls to the dropping part 34. Alternatively, it falls from the side of the table 31 and is collected by the medal hopper 47. In the pusher game of this embodiment, only medals M1 to M4 are arranged on the game field GF.

  The medal M dropped on the dropping unit 34 is collected by the medal hopper 47 after the identification information is read by the IC reader 37. In accordance with the read identification information, various processes such as awarding credits, paying out medals for play from the medal payout exit 25, a bingo game progress process, and a roulette lottery are performed. On the other hand, the medals M in the medal hopper 47 are sequentially moved to the medal distribution mechanism 49 by the lift hopper 48, and are distributed and stored in the containers 41 to 44 according to the reading result of the IC reader 52. Further, based on the reading result of the IC reader 37 and the supply status of the medal supply mechanism 33, the entry / exit of the medal M present on the game field GF can be grasped. The supply status of the medal M by the medal supply mechanism 33 is grasped from the reading result of the IC reader 52 and the payout number. Thereby, the attribute ratio of the medal M currently existing on the game field GF and the type of bingo medal M4 can be determined and used for the progress of the game.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the relationship between the bingo game and the pusher game. When the bingo medal M4 having the bingo number “10” falls from the table 31, the IC reader 37 reads the identification information of the medal M4. Based on the reading result of the IC reader 37, the bingo mass 101a of the bingo number “10” of the bingo sheet 101 becomes valid. The game screen 100a of FIG. 4 shows a state in which the bingo mass 101a with the bingo number “10” is activated. In the game screen 100a, the bingo number “10” becomes valid, and a reach state is waited for the bingo number “11”.

  When the “lottery” bingo medal M4 falls from the table 31, an effect for starting the roulette lottery is displayed on the second monitor 12, and the roulette lottery is executed. The game screen 100b of FIG. 4 shows an example of a roulette lottery. In the roulette lottery, one of the bingo numbers is drawn. The roulette lottery is started not only when the bingo medal M4 falls but also when a predetermined number of credits are consumed. For example, a roulette lottery is started by consuming 10 credits. Further, when a predetermined number of credits are consumed when the roulette lottery is started, the lottery content changes. For example, “11” is drawn with a probability of 1/2 by consuming 5 credits, and “11” is reliably won by consuming 10 credits. The supply of the medal M to the game field GF, the various items, the right to execute other lotteries, the execution of the “user recovery mode” or “anti-parent prevention mode” of the parental adjustment mechanism 36, etc. are won. Also good. When the “designated” bingo medal M4 falls from the table 31, the second monitor 12 displays an effect for allowing the user to designate a bingo number to be activated as shown in the game screen 100c of FIG. Accept user operations.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a bingo game execution process executed by the station control unit 72 of the game machine 2. The bingo game proceeds according to the game result of the pusher game. The bingo game execution process is executed when the user inserts a play medal into the medal insertion slot 21. The station control unit 72 determines whether or not the bingo sheet 101 has been generated (step S1). If the bingo sheet 101 has not been generated, the station control unit 72 generates a new bingo sheet 101 (step S2). Details of the process of generating the bingo sheet 101 will be described later. If the bingo sheet 101 has been generated, the station control unit 72 skips step S2 and proceeds to the next process.

  The station control unit 72 acquires the identification information of the bingo medal M4 among the identification information of the medal M by the IC reader 37 (step S3). When the identification information of the color medals M1 to M3 is read by the IC reader 37, the station control unit 72 performs processing according to the identification information. The station controller 72 determines whether or not the acquired identification information is a bingo number (step S4), and if it is a bingo number, validates the bingo number cell 101a (step S5). Further, the station control unit 72 raises the cell level of the bingo numeral cell 101a by one (step S6). If the first bingo number is valid, the mass level is set to level 1, and if it is the second number, level 2 is set. In the game screen 100a of FIG. 6, an example is shown in which level 2 is set for the bingo number “5” and level 3 is set for the bingo number “15”. The higher the mass level, the higher the reward when bingo is established in the bingo mass 101a.

  On the other hand, if the acquired identification information is not a bingo number, the station control unit 72 determines whether the identification information is “lottery” identification (step S7). In the case of the “lottery” identification information, the station control unit 72 executes roulette lottery processing (step S8). Details of the roulette lottery process will be described later. If it is not “lottery” identification information, the station control unit 72 confirms the “designation” identification information (step S9), causes the user to designate a bingo number (step S10), and proceeds to step S5.

  After the process of step S6, the station control unit 72 determines whether bingo has been established (step S11). If bingo is established, the station control unit 72 gives a bingo reward (step S12), and ends the current process. Examples of the bingo reward include executing a lottery process (for example, jackpot lottery) that expects an expensive reward, or supplying a predetermined number of color medals M1 to M3 to the game field GF. The lottery process is executed using a well-known technique. For example, the lottery process is executed by the station control unit 72 using the first monitor 11 or the second monitor 12. In this case, the lottery content of the lottery process may be changed according to the total level of the bingo mass 101a in which bingo is established. For example, the lottery reward or the lottery probability is changed so as to increase as the total level of the bingo mass 101a in which bingo is established. Further, the number of color medals M1 to M3 supplied as a bingo reward may be set as appropriate. In this case, the value of the color medals M1 to M3 to be paid out may be increased according to the total level of the bingo mass 101a in which bingo is established. In the example of the game screen 100d of FIG. 6, since there is one level 2 bingomass 101a, the total level is “5”. When the total level is larger than “4”, the ratio of the green medal M2 and the red medal M3 may be increased and supplied to the game field GF. Further, with reference to the medal field data 78, the reward may be adjusted according to the staying time of the bingo medal M4 on the game field GF. For example, if the stay time on the game field GF is within 30 minutes, five red medals may be supplied on the game field GF as a bonus in addition to the normal reward. As the medal M is inserted into the game field GF, the staying time of the medal M is shortened. Therefore, it is possible to give a motivation to continue the game by giving a bonus to a user who has played a lot.

  According to the above-described processing, the bingo mass 101a of the bingo sheet 101 is activated and the bingo game proceeds according to the bingo medal M4 that has fallen on the dropping unit 34 in the pusher game (steps S3, S4, S7 to S10) ( Steps S5 and S6). When bingo is established, a bingo reward is awarded to the user (steps S11 and S12). The pusher game and the bingo game can be strengthened to enhance the fun of the game. The station control unit 72 functions as a related game execution unit by executing the processes of steps S1 to S12. Further, the station control unit 72 functions as a reward granting unit by executing the process of step S12.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating the bingo sheet generation process executed by the station control unit 72 of the game machine 2. The bingo sheet generation process is executed when the determination at step S1 in FIG. 11 is affirmative. The station control unit 72 acquires medal supply data 77 and medal field data 78 (steps S21 and S22). The station control unit 72 refers to the medal supply data 77 and the medal field data 78, generates the bingo sheet 101 in an arrangement in which bingo is easily established (step S23), and ends the current process. In addition, the process of step S21-S23 which the station control part 72 performs functions as a game setting determination means.

  For example, bingo numbers “8” and “15” are recorded in the medal field data 78, and when the first supply order of the medal supply data 77 is “3” and the second is “10”, “8”, Bingo masses 101a are arranged in a row so that bingo is established at “15”, “3”, and “10”. Further, when “8” is recorded in the medal field data 78, another bingo mass 101a of the bingo line may be activated so that the bingo game is started in the “reach” state waiting for “8”. . The presence / absence of the bingo sheet 101 generated in step S1 in FIG. 11 may be a timing when bingo is established or a timing when another card 4 is read by the card reader 24, or may be an appropriate timing. It is also possible to generate the bingo sheet 101 with reference to the medal supply data 77 and the medal field data 78 so that bingo is not easily established.

  FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating the roulette lottery process executed by the station control unit 72 of the game machine 2. The roulette lottery process is executed when the determination at step S7 in FIG. 11 is affirmative. The station control unit 72 receives a predetermined number of credits from the user and determines whether or not the credits are consumed (step S31). When credit is consumed, the station control unit 72 changes the lottery lottery conditions according to the number of credits consumed (step S32). As an example, the symbol drawn in accordance with the number of credits consumed is changed to one advantageous for the game (see FIG. 6). Appropriate changes can be made to the setting of the symbols to be drawn. If there is no credit consumption, the station control unit 72 skips the process of step S32.

  The station control unit 72 executes roulette lottery (step S33). A known technique may be used to execute the roulette lottery. The station control unit 72 determines whether or not the lottery result is a bingo number symbol (step S34). In the case of a bingo numeral design, the process proceeds to step S5 in FIG. On the other hand, if the symbol is not a bingo number symbol, the station control unit 72 grants a reward according to the lottery result and ends the current process.

  According to the process described above, when the bingo medal M4 having the identification information of “lottery” falls from the dropping unit 34, the roulette lottery is executed (step S33). At this time, the user can execute a lottery with more advantageous lottery conditions by consuming a predetermined number of credits (steps S31 and S32). If the lottery result is a bingo number, the bingo mass 101a of the bingo sheet 101 is validated. By providing the bingo medal M4 having the identification information of “lottery”, the possibility of bingo establishment in the bingo game increases, and the fun of the game can be enhanced.

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating the medal supply control process executed by the station control unit 72 of the game machine 2. The medal supply control process is a process of controlling the medal supply mechanism 33 so as to supply a specific bingo medal M4 to the game field GF in order to diversify the progress of the bingo game. The station control unit 72 determines whether or not the “reach” state is set in the bingo game (step S41). In the “reach” state, the station control unit 72 acquires a bingo number that establishes a bingo (step S42), and acquires medal field data 78 (step S43). The station control unit 72 refers to the acquired medal field data 78 and determines whether or not there is a bingo number M4 of “lottery” or “designation” that establishes a bingo on the game field GF (step). S44). If the corresponding bingo medal M4 exists on the game field GF, the station control unit 72 ends the current process. This is because there is already a bingo medal M4 on the game field GF that makes it easy to establish a bingo.

  On the other hand, when the corresponding bingo medal M4 does not exist on the game field GF, the station control unit 72 acquires the medal supply data 77 (step S45), and the current medal supply data 77 has a bingo number for establishing the bingo. Whether or not (step S46). If the bingo number that establishes the bingo is not in the medal supply data 77, the station control unit 72 determines whether or not there is a “lottery” bingo medal M4 (step S47). If the “lottery” bingo medal M4 is not in the medal supply data 77, the station control unit 72 determines whether or not there is a “designated” bingo medal M4 (step S48).

  When an affirmative determination is made in steps S46 to S48, the station control unit 72 supplies the corresponding bingo medal M4 onto the game field GF (step S49) and ends the current process. For example, it is assumed that the medal supply data 77 shown in FIG. 9 is acquired in step S45 when the bingo number of the bingo is “5”. In this case, the bingo medal M4 supplied third from the bingo medal storage container 44 is the “lottery” bingo medal M4, and the fourth bingo medal M4 supplied is the bingo medal M4 with the bingo number “5”. . The station control unit 72 pays out the bingo medals M4 up to the fourth in order to supply the bingo medal M4 with the bingo number “5” positioned in the fourth position to the game field GF.

  The supply of the bingo medal M4 is not limited to the above example. For example, among bingo medals of bingo formation, “lottery”, and “designated” bingo medals M4, medals with the earliest supply order may be supplied to the game field GF. By supplying any one of the three types of bingo medals M4 to the game field GF, the possibility of establishment of bingo increases. Further, medals other than the three types of bingo medals M4 may not be supplied to the game field GF in the supply order shown in FIG. In this case, a branch path may be formed between the bingo medal storage container 44 and the common insertion guide 46, and unnecessary medals may be moved to the branch path.

  According to the above-described processing, if the bingo game is in the “reach” state (step S31), the bingo establishment bingo number is acquired (step S32), and the bingo medal M4 for which bingo is likely to be established on the game field GF. The presence or absence is discriminated (step S34). If there is no bingo medal M4, the bingo medal M4 is supplied onto the game field GF (steps S35 to S39). Since the bingo medal M4 that makes it easy to establish a bingo is supplied on the game field GF, the game continues to be motivated. Note that the processing of steps S41 to S48 executed by the station control unit 72 functions as identification information determining means, and the processing of step S49 executed by the station control unit 72 functions as supply control means.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart for explaining the cooperation event process executed by each station control unit 72 of the game machine 2 in cooperation. The cooperative event process is triggered by the fact that the bingo medal M4 falls on the dropping part 34 in the pusher game. For convenience of explanation, explanation will be given between different station units ST of the same game machine 2, but the present invention is not limited to this, and cooperative event processing can be executed between other game machines 2 via a network. The station unit ST on which the bingo medal M4 has fallen on the dropping unit 34 will be described as station 1, and the station unit ST on the side affected by station 1 will be described as station 2.

  The station control unit 72 of the station 1 acquires the identification information of the bingo medal M4 (step S51). The station control unit 72 determines whether or not the acquired identification information is a bingo number (step S52). If the acquired identification information is a bingo number, the station control unit 72 notifies the station 2 of the bingo number (step S53). When the station control unit 72 of the station 2 acquires the bingo numeral identification information from the station 1 (step S61), the station level of the bingo mass 101a of the bingo numeral is increased by 1 (step S62). Thereby, the result of the pusher game in the other station unit ST is reflected, and it is easy to obtain a sense of playing in cooperation with the user who plays in the other station unit ST.

  The station control unit 72 of the station 1 determines whether or not the identification information acquired in step S51 is “lottery” (step S54). If the acquired identification information is “lottery”, the station control unit 72 notifies the station 2 of the identification information of “lottery” (step S55). When the station control unit 72 of the station 2 obtains the “lottery” identification information from the station 1 (step S63), it accepts credit consumption for a predetermined period and determines whether there is credit consumption (step S64). When there is credit consumption, the station control unit 72 notifies the station 1 that it will participate in the roulette lottery (step S65). The station control unit 72 of the station 1 receives the roulette lottery participation notification from the station 2 and executes the roulette lottery (step S56). The station control unit 72 of the station 1 notifies the station 2 of the lottery result (step S57). The station control unit 72 of the station 2 acquires the lottery result, and validates the lottery bingo number (step S66). Note that after the identification information of the bingo medal M4 is acquired in step S51, the normal bingo game execution process after step S4 in FIG. 11 is also continued.

  According to the above-described processing, the bingo number identification information of the bingo medal M4 dropped at the station 1 is notified to the station 2 (steps S53 and S61). In the station 2, the mass level of the bingo mass 101a of the bingo number increases by one. (Step S62). When the “lottery” bingo medal M4 falls on the dropping unit 34, the “lottery” identification information is notified to the station 2 (steps S55 and S63). If credit is consumed, it participates in the roulette lottery of station 1 (steps S65 and S56), and the bingo game of station 2 proceeds according to the lottery result (step S66). Since the station unit ST played by the user is affected by the progress of the game in the other station units ST, a cooperative relationship is generated, and the game characteristics are diversified. Since the game machine 2 as a whole can be energized, the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described form and can be implemented in various forms. For example, in this embodiment, the medal field data 78 is generated based on the supply status of the medal supply mechanism 33 and the reading result of the IC reader 37, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an imaging means (such as a camera or a video camera) that captures the game field GF may be provided above the game field GF. Since the surface of each medal M1 to M4 is provided with distinguishable color codes, numbers, symbols, and the like, the medal field data 78 can be generated by performing image processing on the image obtained by the imaging means. . Alternatively, the medal field data 78 may be generated by using the imaging unit and the supply status of the medal supply mechanism 33 and the information of the reading result of the IC reader 37 together. Further, the recovery unit 35 may be provided with an IC reader, and the medal field data 78 may be generated using the reading result.

  The medal field data 78 can be used for various game controls in addition to the bingo sheet generation and bingo medal M4 supply control. For example, with reference to the medal field data 78, an effect that makes the bingo mass 101a of the bingo sheet 101 corresponding to the bingo number of the bingo medal M4 currently existing in the game field GF stand out is executed. As a result, it is possible to immediately grasp the bingo numbers that are likely to be effective next. Further, when the cooperative event process of FIG. 15 is being executed, the bingo numbers of the bingo medals M4 supplied to the game field GF in other station units ST may be conspicuous. Appropriate settings are possible. Further, with reference to the medal field data 78, an effect that makes the bingo medal M4 on the table 31 and the pusher table 32 stand out may be provided. The position of the bingo medal M4 on the game field GF is specified from the image obtained by the imaging means, and the bingo medal M4 is illuminated. Illumination means may be illuminated with, for example, a spotlight provided above the game field GF, LED illumination provided so as to be spread over the table surfaces of the table 31 and the pusher table 32, or the like.

  In the above-described form, the roulette lottery process is executed by dropping the bingo medal M4 with the “lottery” identification number in the pusher game onto the dropping unit 34 and reading the identification number by the IC reader 37. Not limited to. For example, the roulette lottery process may be executed when the user consumes a predetermined number of credits. FIG. 16 is a flowchart for explaining the consideration request type roulette lottery process executed by the station control unit 72 of the game machine 2. The consideration request type roulette lottery process is to accept the payment of credit by the user at any time and execute the roulette lottery process of FIG. 13 in accordance with the payment of the consideration from the user. The station control unit 72 determines whether or not a predetermined number of credits are consumed by the user (step S71). For example, the station control unit 72 is set to execute roulette lottery processing in exchange for 10 credits consumed. When a predetermined number of credits are consumed, the station control unit 72 executes a roulette lottery process shown in FIG. 13 (step S72), and ends the current process. Thereby, when there is no medal M4 that is easy to establish a bingo on the game field GF, a roulette lottery can be executed according to the user's wish, and the fun of the game can be enhanced.

  In the above-described form, each time the bingo medal M4 having the same bingo number is read by the IC reader 37 in the pusher game, the mass level of the bingo mass 101a of the bingo sheet 101 is raised by one, but this is not limitative. For example, for the bingo numbers drawn by the roulette drawing process, the mass level may be increased by two. The mass level setting may be changed as appropriate. Further, when the bingo medal M4 having the same bingo number is read by the IC reader 37 in the pusher game, a roulette lottery process may be executed. It is also possible to increase the value of the bingo sheet 101 by a lottery game executed according to the game result of the pusher game. For example, when a pattern of a specific item is prepared in a slot lottery executed according to the game result of the pusher game, the mass level of the specific bingo mass 101a of the bingo sheet 101 may be increased. In this case, patterns of a plurality of types of items may be prepared and set so that the level of different bingomass 101a for each pattern is increased.

  In the embodiment described above, the medals M1 to M4 have been described as game media spread on the game field GF, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be a game medium having a predetermined shape such as a ball or a cube, and identification information may be attached to each game medium. Such game media are spread on the game field GF and pushed out to the pusher table 32, thereby performing the same functions as the medals M1 to M4 described above. In the above-described embodiment, the bingo game is advanced by causing the IC reader 37 to read the identification information of the medal M that has fallen on the dropping unit 34, but is not limited thereto. For example, an IC reader may be provided in a predetermined area on the table 31, and the bingo game may be advanced according to the reading result of the IC reader. An IC reader for advancing the bingo game may be provided at any position on the game field GF. Moreover, although it demonstrated as a related game as a bingo game, it is not restricted to this. For example, a game may be used in which a plurality of characters are assigned to a plurality of medals M and the characters read by the IC reader are collected. A reward may be given according to the number of collected characters and rarity. Alternatively, the related game may be an RPG game, and a medal M may be assigned a party command operated by the user, and the PRG game may proceed according to the read command. Alternatively, the related game may be a mahjong game, and the identification information of the mahjong tile may be given to the medal M. The mahjong game may proceed according to the mahjong tile of the medal M that has fallen on the dropping unit 34. Various games can be applied as related games.
