  The game device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described below. The game device is realized by an information processing device. The game device and the information processing device described below are for explaining the gist of the present invention, and the technical scope of the present invention is as follows. The embodiment to be described is not limited. In addition, the elements described in each embodiment can be omitted as appropriate according to the application and required effects. Thus, various information processing apparatuses configured according to the principle of the present invention, methods executed by the various information processing apparatuses, programs executed by the various information processing apparatuses, and equivalents thereof Any such invention is within the scope of the present invention.

  In a mechanically configured slot machine, a plurality of rotating reels are prepared, and a plurality of symbols are arranged on the surface of each reel. A part of the surface of each reel is visible to the user through the window.

  In a mechanically configured slot machine, the rotation of the reel is started when the game is started, and the rotation of the reel is stopped by the passage of time or a user operation.

  While each reel is rotating, the symbols arranged on each reel move in the window. When each reel stops, the symbols arranged on the stopped reel also stop in the window. In a mechanically configured slot machine, the symbol movement direction is often set in the vertical direction, but can be changed as appropriate. In the following description, the reel rotation axis is in the horizontal direction, and the symbol moves up and down as an example.

  Now, when all the reels are stopped, the effect in the game is determined by the arrangement of the stopped symbols in the window.

  The number of reels and symbols visible in the window can be changed as appropriate. For example, for each reel of three reels, a window can be adopted so that three symbols can be seen.

  Here, a symbol visible to the user through a window may be referred to as a visible symbol. In addition, the range of the reel that is visible to the user through the window may be referred to as an effective range or a pay range. While each reel is rotating, the effective range of each reel is moving on the surface of each reel.

  Now, in a general slot machine, when all reels are stopped and the effective range stops moving in the reels, the effect in the game is achieved by the arrangement of the visible symbols that are included in the effective range and stopped. Determined. For example, if the same symbol is aligned on a line that passes through three reels across three reels in a window, a large amount of coins and metal can be obtained. Thus, the line for determining the effect in the game is called an effective line or a payline.

  Only one effective line may be set as described above, or a plurality of effective lines may be set. For example, the upper three symbols, the lower three symbols, the symbols arranged from the upper right to the lower left, or the symbols arranged from the upper left to the lower right may be set as additional effective lines.

  The slot game according to the present embodiment is configured electronically based on the configuration in the mechanical slot machine as described above. That is, the slot game according to the present embodiment is similar in structure to the mechanical slot machine, but electronically applies functions that are difficult to realize in the mechanical slot machine.

(Hardware on which game devices are realized)
The game device according to the present embodiment is typically realized by a computer executing a program. Here, as a computer, such as a server computer, a desktop computer, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, and the like that are manufactured and sold as a computer, a mobile phone, a smart phone, a fablet, etc. Also included are those manufactured and sold as telephones, and those manufactured and sold as game consoles and multimedia terminals such as portable game terminals and home entertainment devices.

  The program executed on the computer can be distributed and sold by a server connected to the computer so that it can communicate, CD-ROM (Compact Disk Read Only Memory), flash memory, EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM) It is also possible to distribute, sell, etc. the information recording medium after recording it on a non-transitory information recording medium.

  The program is installed in a non-transitory information recording medium such as a hard disk, a solid state drive, a flash memory, an EEPROM, or the like included in the computer. Then, the game device in the present embodiment is realized by the computer. Generally, a computer's CPU (Central Processing Unit) reads a program from an information recording medium to a RAM (Random Access Memory) under the management of the computer's OS (Operating System), and then the code included in the program Is interpreted and executed. However, in an architecture in which an information recording medium can be mapped in a memory space accessible by the CPU, an explicit program load to the RAM may not be necessary. Various kinds of information required in the course of program execution can be temporarily recorded in the RAM.

  The computer notifies the user of various types of information by displaying an image on the screen of a liquid crystal display or a television device, or by outputting sound to a speaker or headphones.

  The computer also accepts various instruction operations from the user via an input device such as a touch panel, a keyboard, a mouse, a joystick, a button, a key, a switch, and a microphone. Further, the position, direction, orientation, change, speed, angular velocity, acceleration, angular acceleration, and the like detected by the position sensor, posture sensor, acceleration sensor, and the like may be regarded as input from the user.

  In addition, the computer can also input and output information with the user by using a touch screen in which a touch panel and a liquid crystal display are integrally formed.

  As described above, the game apparatus of the present embodiment can be configured by using a dedicated electronic circuit, instead of realizing the game apparatus of the present embodiment by a general-purpose computer. In this aspect, the program functions as a material for generating a wiring diagram, timing chart, and the like of the electronic circuit. In such an embodiment, an electronic circuit that satisfies the specifications defined in the program is configured by an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), or the like. The electronic circuit functions as a dedicated device that performs a function defined in the program, thereby realizing the game device of the present embodiment.

(Outline of game device)
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing a schematic configuration of the game device according to the embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIG.

  The game device 101 according to the present embodiment includes a control unit 102, a display unit 103, and a determination unit 104. The game provided by the game device 101 is a slot game configured electronically, imitating a mechanically configured slot machine.

  This slot game is provided as a mini game in RPG (Roll Playing Game). In RPG, a turn-based battle is started when a character party operated by a player encounters an enemy character. This slot game is provided immediately before the start of each turn, and the character to attack at the party on the player side in that turn, its attack power, etc. are determined according to the result of play in this slot game.

  Here, the game apparatus 101 provides a game in which symbols are arranged on each reel of a plurality of reels and an effective range is set on each reel.

  When the game is started, the control unit 102 starts to move the effective range set for each reel, and stops the effective range set for each reel as the game progresses.

  The stop of the effective range may be in accordance with the passage of time from the start of the game, as in a mechanical slot machine, or the user performs an instruction operation on each reel as in the pachislot provided mainly in Japan. Thus, the reel on which the instruction operation is performed may be stopped. In general, when the stop condition associated with each reel is satisfied, the effective range set for the reel is stopped.

  The display unit 103 displays the visible symbols arranged on the effective range set for each reel on the screen. FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing a display example as a black and white photograph when each reel rotates in the game apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a display example when each reel is rotating in the game device according to the embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, description will be given with reference to these drawings.

  This slot game is provided by color display on the touch screen, which is displayed in black and white in FIG. Therefore, in FIG. 3, display objects such as visible symbols are displayed in a simplified and symbolized manner so that the color difference can be seen.

  In FIG. 2, the reference numerals for the respective parts are omitted, and the reference numerals are given in FIG.

  In this slot game, 18 symbols are arranged on one reel, and the effective range of each reel includes three symbols. Therefore, in the slot game window 201, three visible symbols 202 included in the effective range of the three reels are displayed.

  While the reel is rotating, the effective range of the reel is assumed to continuously move on the surface of the reel at a certain speed. Therefore, the visible symbol 202 continuously moves up and down in the window 201 while the reel is rotating. For this reason, in this display example, four symbols overlap in the window 201. That is, only a part of the upper end symbol and the lower end symbol is included in the window 201.

  In this embodiment, the window 201 is displayed on the touch screen, and when the user touches the window 201 for each reel, the stop condition for the reel is satisfied, and the rotation of the reel is stopped. When the rotation of the reel is stopped, the effective range is stopped so that the boundary of the symbol and the effective range of each reel coincide with each other so that the four symbols are not included in the effective range.

  Now, the display unit 103 further displays a guide in which graphics associated with each of the symbols are arranged in the order in which the symbols are arranged on each reel, and among the arranged graphics, a graphic associated with the visible symbol To emphasize.

  In the present embodiment, a guide 203 representing the order of symbols arranged on each reel and the current effective range on each reel is displayed beside the window 201.

  That is, in the guide 203, the symbols 204 are arranged in association with the symbols arranged on the reels, and the types and attributes of the symbols and the figures 204 are represented. A graphic 204 corresponding to the visible symbol 202 is highlighted by being surrounded by a frame 205 representing an effective range. While the reel is rotating, the frame 205 cyclically moves on the line of the figure 204.

  The movement of the frame 205 in the guide 203 is performed in units of boundaries of the graphic 204. That is, the movement of the frame 205 is interlocked with the movement of the effective range on the reel, but moves not discretely but discretely. That is, the frame 205 represents where the effective range stops in the reel when it is assumed that the user has performed an operation to stop the reel at the present time.

  Note that the graphic 204 in the guide 203 is formed by opening the cyclic order of symbols arranged in the reel. Therefore, when the effective range includes a portion that is opened in the cyclic order, the frame 205 is displayed by being divided into a lower end and an upper end in the guide 203.

  In this embodiment, while each reel is rotating, display is performed such that the visible symbol 202 moves from top to bottom in the window 201. The correspondence between the order in which the visible symbols 202 are arranged from the top to the bottom and the order in which the figures 204 in the guide 203 associated with the visible symbols 202 are arranged from the top to the bottom are understood by the user. It seems easy. When the figures 204 in the guide 203 are arranged so that they match, the frame 205 moves from the bottom to the top while each reel is rotating.

  In the present embodiment, the graphic 204 is a quadrangular or hexagonal graphic and is displayed in five colors of “red”, “green”, “blue”, “yellow”, and “gray”. As a result, the type and attribute of each symbol is transmitted to the user.

  That is, one of five types of attributes “fire”, “tree”, “water”, “gold”, and “soil” is assigned to each symbol arranged on the reel based on the five lines theory. In the original color display of FIG. 2, the colors are displayed in the colors “red”, “green”, “blue”, “yellow”, and “gray”, respectively.

  In the visible symbol 202 in FIG. 2 and the graphic 204 in the guide 203, the letters “R”, “G”, “B”, “Y”, and “M” are illustrated in place of colors.

  There are two types of symbols, general and general. In FIG. 2, the military commander symbol is displayed by a character imitating a cat, and the normal symbol is displayed as a graphic representing the attribute assigned to the normal symbol. In the visible symbol 202 and the graphic 204 in the guide 203 in FIG. 3, the military commander symbol is represented by a hexagon, and the normal symbol is represented by a tetragon.

  In the party list 206 arranged on the lower side of the window 201, five characters belonging to the player's party are displayed in the order of attacks when the player battles with the enemy characters. In the figure in the guide of FIG. 2, the visible symbol 202 in FIG. 3, and the figure 204 in the guide 203, numbers representing the order of the military commanders in the party are displayed.

  In the following, for the symbol 204 in the symbol and guide 203, for normal symbols, square brackets [] are used to enclose characters representing colors, and for military commanders symbols, brackets <> are used to represent colors and characters within parties. Enclose a number that represents the attack order. Further, the visible symbol 202 is appropriately given an asterisk * to distinguish it from symbols outside the valid range.

According to such a notation, the arrangement order of symbols in each reel in FIGS. 2 and 3 can be expressed as follows.
Left reel ... * [R] [R] <1Y> [R] <5R><5R> [R] <4Y><4Y> [Y] <3B><3B> [R] <2R><2R> [B] * <1Y> * <1Y>;
Middle reel ... [G] [B] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> [Y] <4Y><4Y> [R] <3B><3B> [Y] <2R><2R> * <B> * <1Y> * <1Y>;
Right reel ... [G] [Y] <1Y> [R] <5R><5R> [B] <4Y><4Y> [B] <3B><3B> [G] <2R> * <2R > * <G> * <1Y><1Y>

In the party list 206, a symbol
<1Y><2R><3B><4Y><5R>
Characters that can be associated with are lined up.

  Now, when all the effective ranges set on the plurality of reels are stopped, the determining unit 104 determines the effect in the game based on the arrangement of the visible symbols 202 arranged in all the stopped effective ranges. .

  In this slot game, characters in the party associated with each military commander symbol located within the stopped effective range attack. When a plurality of the same military commander symbols are located within the effective range, the attack power of the characters in the party associated with the military command symbols is doubled.

  In addition, a normal symbol located in the stopped effective range may be set so as to increase the defense against the attribute of the normal symbol in preparation for an attack from an enemy character in the same turn. It is good also as supplementing the attribute gauge with the energy for activating the attribute special attack. Further, the above-described operation may be performed only for a normal symbol positioned on a specific effective line when the effective range stops.

  Also, in this slot game, when the same military commander symbol is stopped on the active line, the bonus game is started and the attack power of the character associated with the military commander symbol is further increased. It is also possible to configure. The mode of this bonus game will be described later.

  Thus, in the present embodiment, the effect in the game is determined based on the type and attribute of the visible symbol 202 located in the stopped effective range. In addition, the shape, pattern, and color of the graphic represented in the guide are determined by the type and attribute of the symbol associated with the graphic.

  Note that how to use the result of the slot game is not limited to the above embodiment. A simple mode in which the result of the slot game is directly reflected in the player's score as a numerical value may be adopted, or may be reflected in parameters in other games as in this embodiment.

  In the present embodiment, after the battle with the enemy ends for one turn, if the battle is still continued, the slot game is played again. At this time, the symbols included in the effective range stopped in the previous slot game are exchanged with other symbols. Hereinafter, another symbol exchanged with the stopped visible symbol 202 is referred to as a substitute symbol. In the mechanical slot machine, the arrangement of symbols on the reel does not change dynamically. That is, such symbol exchange is a unique feature of an electronically configured slot game.

  In this embodiment, a device is devised to easily show the difference in operation with the mechanical slot machine to the player. That is, the next box 207 is prepared above each window 201. In the next box 207, the graphic 204 associated with the substitute symbol is displayed in the same manner as the graphic 204 in the guide 203.

In the examples in FIGS. 2 and 3, the alternative symbols are set as follows in order from the left.
Alternate symbol for left reel ... <3B> [G] [G];
Alternative symbol for middle reel ... <3B><1Y>[G];
Alternate symbol for right reel ... <1Y> [Y] [R]

  In addition, in the present embodiment, an attribute gauge 208 is disposed below the party list 206. The attribute gauge 208 represents how much energy is charged to activate a special attack based on each attribute. Note that, since FIG. 2 shows the situation immediately after the start of the game, all the attribute gauges are empty. However, in FIG. 3, some attribute gauges 208 are replenished halfway for easy understanding. The situation is shown. That is, the attributes R, Y, and B are filled with energy halfway, and the filling amount is expressed by a hatched area.

  As described above, the attribute gauge 208 is charged with energy according to the attribute of the normal symbol located in the stopped effective range. If an attack turn is made when the attribute gauge 208 is full, a special attribute attack on the attribute gauge 208 is executed instead of the attack by the military commander symbol or in addition to the attack by the military commander symbol. .

  As described above, in this embodiment, when a certain slot game (first game) is started, an alternative symbol for the next slot game (second game) is displayed in the next box 207.

  That is, the control unit 102 acquires a substitute symbol for each reel before starting the first game. On the other hand, when the first game is started, the display unit 103 further displays the substitute symbols acquired for each reel on the screen.

  When the stop condition of each reel is satisfied, the effective range of the reel stops moving, and the visible symbol 202 also stops in the window 201 for the reel. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example in black and white photography when all reels are stopped in the game apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIG.

As shown in the figure, the arrangement of symbols and effective ranges in all stopped reels is as follows.
Left reel ... [R] * [R] * <1Y> * [R] <5R><5R> [R] <4Y><4Y> [Y] <3B><3B> [R] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>;
Middle reel ... [G] [B] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> [Y] <4Y><4Y> [R] * <3B> * <3B> * [Y] <2R><2R><B><1Y><1Y>;
Right reel ... [G] [Y] <1Y> [R] <5R><5R> [B] <4Y><4Y> [B] <3B><3B> * [G] * <2R> * <2R><G><1Y><1Y>
<1Y><3B><2R> are arranged on the middle effective line, and one <1Y>, two <3B>, and two <2R> are included in the effective range of all stopped reels. positioned.

  Then, the determining unit 104 determines the effect in the first game. As described above, after this slot game is over, a battle turn is started, and in the player's party attack phase, the character corresponding to <1Y> attacks with normal attack power, and <2R> The corresponding character attacks with twice the attack power, and the character corresponding to <3B> attacks with twice the attack power.

  In battle with enemy characters in this game, in accordance with the five-line theory, for example, according to `` Water Fire '' (water extinguishes fire), water-type characters attack fire-type characters with other attributes. The strength of the character attribute is determined such that the effect is larger than the attack on the character. Further, as will be described later, it is possible to give a privilege such as starting a bonus game when the same military commander symbols are aligned and stopped on the active line, so that the effect on the game is increased.

  When the player's party turn and the enemy character's turn are finished and the battle is continued, the slot game is started again. In a situation where a slot game is finished and the next slot game is started, the former is called a first game and the latter is called a second game.

  At this time, in each reel, the control unit 102 replaces the visible symbol arranged in the stopped effective range with the substitute symbol obtained for each reel, and obtains a new substitute symbol for each reel. Then start the second game.

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example as a black and white photograph when a visible symbol is replaced with a substitute symbol in the game device according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in this figure, at the time of starting the second game, the arrangement of symbols and effective ranges on each reel, and alternative symbols are as follows.
Left reel ... [R] * <3B> * [G] * [G] <5R><5R> [R] <4Y><4Y> [Y] <3B><3B> [R] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>;
Middle reel ... [G] [B] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> [Y] <4Y><4Y> [R] * <3B> * <1Y> * [G] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>;
Right reel ... [G] [Y] <1Y> [R] <5R><5R> [B] <4Y><4Y> [B] <3B><3B> * <1Y> * [Y] * [R] [G] <1Y><1Y>;
Alternative symbol for left reel ... <4Y><4Y><5R>;
Alternative symbol for middle reel ... [G] [G] <3B>;
Alternate symbol for right reel ... <2R><4Y> [R]

  As described above, the player confirms the substitute symbols that can be used in the next slot game with the next box 207, and then confirms the symbol arrangement in the current reel with the guide 203, thereby stopping the reel at any timing. Then, in the current slot game and the next slot game, it is possible to play the game while considering strategies and tactics from the viewpoint of whether or not it is advantageous. This is a major difference between this embodiment and a mechanical slot machine.

  The visible symbol 202 stopped in the window 201 is redrawn with a substitute symbol before the next slot game is started. In response to this, among the figures 204 in the guide 203, the figure surrounded by the frame 205 is exchanged with the figure 204 associated with the substitute symbol displayed in the next box 207.

  Therefore, when exchanging the figure 204 in the frame 205 in the guide 203, the figure 204 drawn in the next box 207 gradually moves into the corresponding frame 205 to drive out the existing figure 204 or overwrite it. In addition, if an animation display is performed so that a new alternative symbol appears in the next box 207, the player can easily understand that the symbols in the reel have been exchanged.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of control of processing executed by the game device according to the embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIG.

In this embodiment, when the player character party encounters an enemy character party in the RPG, the slot game is started. Then, game device 101 arranges a plurality of symbols in order on each reel (step S301). The selection and order of symbols can be made completely random, and the following adjustments can be made while maintaining the randomness according to the taste of the game.
(1) Increase the probability that one or several consecutive military commander symbols associated with characters belonging to the player's party will be placed. In the example shown in Fig. 2, characters corresponding to <1Y><2R><3B><4Y><5R> belong to the player's party, and the corresponding military commander symbols are placed in each reel. ing.
(2) The probability that the arrangement of military commander symbols in (1) above is common to all reels is increased. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 2, the arrangement of military command symbols on all reels is completely common.
(3) Increase the probability that a normal symbol having the same attribute as a military commander symbol associated with a character belonging to the player's party will be placed. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 2, only 7 [R], 4 [Y], 5 [B], 3 [G], and 0 [M] are arranged on 3 reels. ing. Here, the number of [R] is more than others, because the characters with attribute R are <2R> and <5R> in the party, and the character with attribute M is not in the party. Probably reflected.

  Next, the game device 101 sets an effective range for each reel (step S302). The initial position of the effective range may be set at random, or may be set so that all the reels are aligned so that the frame 205 is positioned at the upper and lower ends of the guide 203.

Furthermore, the game device 101 acquires a substitute symbol for each reel (step S303). The selection and arrangement of the symbols acquired as the substitute symbols may be completely random, or may be adjusted with reference to the player's party or the like, similar to the arrangement of the symbols in the reel.
For example, in the example shown in Fig. 2, the characters corresponding to <1Y><2R><3B><4Y><5R> belong to the player's party. The normal symbol is selected.

  Then, the game device 101 sets that all reels are rotating (step S304). Each of the above settings is stored in the RAM.

  The game apparatus 101 then displays an image for screen display based on information such as which reel is rotating, the order of the symbols arranged on each reel, the set effective range, the acquired substitute symbol, and the like. Is generated (step S305), and is waited until an appropriate timing (for example, immediately after vertical synchronization interruption or the like occurs), and the image is displayed on the screen (step S306). By thus buffering the image display, it is possible to suppress screen flicker.

  Further, the game device 101 checks whether the stop condition is satisfied for each reel that continues to rotate (step S307). If it is satisfied (step S307; Yes), the game device 101 sets that the rotation of the reel is stopped (step S308), and advances the control to step S309. On the other hand, if not satisfied (step S307; No), the game device 101 advances the control to step S309.

  Then, game device 101 checks whether or not the rotation of all reels has stopped (step S309). If there is a reel that continues to rotate (step S309; No), the effective range for the reel that continues to rotate is moved as time passes (step S310), and control returns to step S305. . Note that the moving speed of the effective range may be constant, or may be changed so as to be gradually increased or decreased.

  On the other hand, if the rotation of all the reels is stopped (step S309; Yes), the game device 101 determines the effect in the game based on the arrangement of the visible symbols 202 located within the stopped effective range (step S311). ). In determining the effect in the game, processing such as starting a bonus game may be performed as described later.

  Based on the effect, the game device 101 performs a process other than the slot game, for example, a battle based on a turn system with an enemy character (step S312). If it is not necessary to continue the slot game as a result of the battle or the like, the enemy character is completely annihilated (step S313; No), the process is terminated. Thereafter, when the player's party encounters another enemy character, the processing from step S301 is executed again.

  When the slot game is continued (step S313; Yes), the game device 101 replaces the visible symbol located within the effective range set for each reel with the substitute symbol acquired for each reel. (Step S314), control is returned to step S303.

  It should be noted that the effect determined for the slot game and the manner in which the visible symbol is replaced with the alternative symbol may be presented to the player by appropriately displaying an animation or the like.

  In the case of turn-based battles, if some characters in the player's party become unable to fight, even if the military commander symbol of the incombatable character becomes a visible symbol when the effective range stops, the battle An impossible character cannot participate in an attack. Therefore, in step S314, in addition to exchanging the stopped visible symbol with a substitute symbol, the warrior symbol of the character in each reel is replaced with a normal symbol having the same attribute as the warrior symbol. You can increase your taste. At this time, the guide 203 presents a state in which the warrior symbol is replaced with a normal symbol, so that the player can easily know that the symbol arrangement on each reel has changed.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, the order of symbols arranged on the reels, the separation of symbols that are visible, and the replacement symbols that are exchanged for the stopped visible symbols are electronic. Information unique to the slot game configured as described above can be presented to the player in an easy-to-understand manner.

  In the above-described embodiment, the figure 204 associated with the visible symbol 202 is emphasized by surrounding the figure 204 in the guide 203 with the frame 205. However, in this embodiment, the figure 204 associated with the visible symbol 202 is used. In addition to 205, the graphic 204 associated with the visible symbol 202 is emphasized by performing the following display. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment in which the player is made aware of the current effective range by bringing the guide and the next box next to each other. FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment in which the current effective range is made known to the player by shifting the guide and the next box next to each other. FIG. 9 is an explanatory diagram of an embodiment in which the player is made aware of the current effective range by overlapping the guide and the next box. Hereinafter, description will be given with reference to these drawings. In these figures, the same notation method as in FIG. 3 is used for easy understanding.

  In these display examples, the graphic 204 associated with the visible symbol 202 is emphasized by adjoining the next box 207 to the graphic 204 associated with the visible symbol 202, shifting the position of the adjacent boxes, or overlapping the adjacent boxes. To do.

  In the display example in the above embodiment, the figures 204 arranged in the guide 203 are arranged vertically, whereas the figures 204 in the next box 207 are arranged horizontally. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the figures 204 are arranged vertically in both the guide 203 and the next box 207.

  Then, the next box 207 is adjacent to or overlapped with the graphic 204 associated with the visible symbol 202. Therefore, when the visible symbol is replaced with the substitute symbol, the highlighted graphic is replaced with the graphic 204 in the next box adjacent to or superimposed on the graphic.

  Therefore, according to the present embodiment, when the player assumes that the visible symbol 202 is currently replaced with a substitute symbol, which graphic 204 in the guide 203 is replaced with which graphic 204 in the next box 207 , Can be grasped instantly.

  In the above embodiment, when all the reels are stopped, the effect of the slot game is determined according to the type and number of visible symbols located within the effective range of each reel. If the above arrangement satisfies a predetermined bonus condition, a bonus game is played. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing control in the bonus game. Hereinafter, a description will be given with reference to FIG.

  That is, immediately before proceeding from step S309 to step S311, the game device 101 determines whether or not the bonus condition is satisfied (step S401).

  In this embodiment, it is assumed that the bonus condition is satisfied when the same military commander symbols are stopped in a line on the active line set in the upper, middle, or lower stages of the window 201.

FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example in black and white photography when the upper stage of the visible symbol of the stopped reel satisfies the bonus condition. In the example shown in this drawing, the arrangement of symbols on each reel and the position of the effective range are as follows.
Left reel ... [G] [B] <1Y> [Y] <5R><5R> [B] * <4Y> * <4Y> * [G] <3B><3B> [R] <2R><2R> [G] <1Y><1Y>;
Middle reel ... [G] [B] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> [M] * <4Y> * <4Y> * [R] <3B><3B> [R] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>;
Right reel ... [Y] [M] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> [B] <4Y> * <4Y> * [G] * <3B><3B> [G] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>

The arrangement of symbols in the stopped effective range is as follows.
Upper row ... * <4Y> * <4Y> * [G];
Upper row ... * <4Y> * <4Y> * [R];
Upper row ... * <4Y> * [G] * <3B>

  In other words, in the upper effective line, the warrior symbols <4Y> are arranged in a horizontal row, and the bonus condition is satisfied.

  If the bonus condition is satisfied (step S401; Yes), the game device 101 makes preparations for starting the bonus game (step S402). In the present embodiment, this preparation is performed by moving the effective range by one symbol for all reels so that the horizontal row in which the same military commander symbols are arranged is located in the middle stage.

FIG. 12 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example after the preparation of the bonus game by moving the effective range so that the visible symbols aligned in a horizontal row are positioned in the middle stage, as a black and white photograph. The position of the effective range shown in this figure is as follows.
Left reel ... [G] [B] <1Y> [Y] <5R><5R> * [B] * <4Y> * <4Y> [G] <3B><3B> [R] <2R><2R> [G] <1Y><1Y>;
Middle reel ... [G] [B] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> * [M] * <4Y> * <4Y> [R] <3B><3B> [R] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>;
Right reel ... [Y] [M] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> [B] * <4Y> * <4Y> * [G] <3B><3B> [G] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>

The arrangement of symbols in the effective range is as follows.
Upper row ... * [B] * <4Y> * <4Y>;
Upper row ... * [M] * <4Y> * <4Y>;
Upper row ... * <4Y> * <4Y> * [G]

  Thus, it can be seen that the effective range is shifted by one symbol for all reels in this figure and FIG. When the same military commander symbol is arranged in a horizontal row in the middle row, it is not necessary to move the effective range by one symbol.

  In the example shown in FIG. 12, the effect of various animations representing the start of the bonus game is also drawn.

  After that, the game apparatus 101 makes a bonus game by adding a new rotating reel to the existing reel that has stopped. Hereinafter, an example in which a new reel is added to the right side of an existing reel will be described. However, it is also possible to take a form such as adding to the left side of an existing reel or adding between existing reels.

  In order to start the bonus game, the game device generates a new reel (step S403), and assigns a plurality of symbols to the new reel in order as in step S301 (step S404). Then, the game apparatus 101 sets an effective range for the new reel in the same manner as in step S302 (step S405), and sets that the new reel is rotating as in step S304 ( Step S406).

  Next, the game device 101 sets a reel to be displayed on the screen (step S407). In this embodiment, two reels, the rightmost reel among the existing stopped reels and the new added reel, are the targets of screen display. In this embodiment, after scrolling an existing stopped reel to the left in the window 201, an animation is displayed to make a new reel appear in the center, thereby clearly indicating to the player that the reel has been added.

FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example in black and white photography when a new reel is added and the bonus game is started. In the example shown in this figure, symbols and effective range arrangements on each reel are as follows.
Hidden (existing leftmost) ... [G] [B] <1Y> [Y] <5R><5R> * [B] * <4Y> * <4Y> [G] <3B><3B> [R] <2R><2R> [G] <1Y><1Y>;
Hidden (existing center) ... [G] [B] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> * [M] * <4Y> * <4Y> [R] <3B><3B> [ R] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>;
Left reel (existing rightmost) ... [Y] [M] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> [B] * <4Y> * <4Y> * [G] <3B><3B> [G] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>;
Middle reel (new addition) ... [Y] [M] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> [B] * <4Y> * <4Y> * [G] <3B><3B> [G ] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>
Right reel column (blank)

  In this way, in this embodiment, among the existing stopped reels, a reel in which symbols are arranged in the same order as the rightmost reel and the effective range is set at the same position is adopted as a newly added reel. ing. Note that the new reel symbol placement order and effective range position setting are adjusted according to the characteristics of the game, such as random or referring to the type of character belonging to the party, as in the previous example. Also good.

  That is, the game apparatus 101 displays the arrangement of visible symbols in a window set on the screen before a new reel is added, but after a new reel is added, a plurality of symbols are displayed in the window. Among these reels, at least the last added reel and the visible symbol arranged on the reel adjacent to the last added reel are displayed.

  Then, similarly to steps S307 to S310, the game device 101 determines whether or not the added reel satisfies the stop condition (step S408), and if satisfied (step S408; Yes), the rotation of the reel is stopped. This is set (step S409), and it is determined whether all reels have stopped (step S410).

  If the new reel continues to rotate (step S410; No), the game apparatus 101 generates an image for screen display (step S411), and then waits in the same manner as step S306, as in step S305. After that, the image is displayed on the screen (step S412), and the control is returned to step S408.

FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram illustrating a display example while the bonus game is being executed by a black and white photograph. In the example shown in this figure, symbols and effective range arrangements on each reel are as follows.
Hidden (existing leftmost) ... [G] [B] <1Y> [Y] <5R><5R> * [B] * <4Y> * <4Y> [G] <3B><3B> [R] <2R><2R> [G] <1Y><1Y>;
Hidden (existing center) ... [G] [B] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> * [M] * <4Y> * <4Y> [R] <3B><3B> [ R] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>;
Left reel (existing rightmost) ... [Y] [M] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> [B] * <4Y> * <4Y> * [G] <3B><3B> [G] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>;
Middle reel (new addition) ... [Y] * [M] * <1Y> * [B] <5R><5R> [B] <4Y><4Y> [G] <3B><3B> [G ] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>
Right reel column ... "Chain!" Message

  As can be seen from this figure, while the bonus game is being executed, the effective range of the new reel at the center moves, so the frame 205 moves within the guide 203 of the new reel at the center and is visible. The symbol 202 is moved and displayed.

  That is, the control unit 102 continues the game by adding a new reel to a plurality of reels and starting to move the effective range set for the new reel.

  On the other hand, if all the reels are stopped (step S410; Yes), the game device 101 returns the control to step S401. For this reason, while the bonus condition is satisfied, a reel is added again, and a type of bonus game called combo or chain is continued.

FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram showing a display example in black and white photography when all the reels including the reel added in the bonus game are stopped and the bonus condition is satisfied and the chain advances and the bonus game continues. . In the example shown in this figure, symbols and effective range arrangements on each reel are as follows.
Hidden (existing leftmost) ... [G] [B] <1Y> [Y] <5R><5R> * [B] * <4Y> * <4Y> [G] <3B><3B> [R] <2R><2R> [G] <1Y><1Y>;
Hidden (existing center) ... [G] [B] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> * [M] * <4Y> * <4Y> [R] <3B><3B> [ R] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>;
Left reel (existing rightmost) ... [Y] [M] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> [B] * <4Y> * <4Y> * [G] <3B><3B> [G] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>;
Middle reel (new addition) ... [Y] [M] <1Y> [B] <5R><5R> [B] * <4Y> * <4Y> * [G] <3B><3B> [G ] <2R><2R> [B] <1Y><1Y>
Right reel field ... "Double chain!" Message

  In this figure, when the first reel of the bonus game stops, the same warrior symbol <4Y> is arranged in a horizontal row in the middle of the effective range of all reels, and the bonus condition is satisfied. Yes. For this reason, the character string “2-chain!” Is displayed on the screen, and the user is presented that the reel will be added again.

  On the other hand, if the bonus condition is not satisfied (step S401; No), the game device 101 advances the control to step S311 to determine the effect in the slot game.

  In the present embodiment, while the bonus game continues, the number of the same military commander symbols arranged in the stopped effective range increases for all reels including the reels in the normal slot game and the reels added in the bonus game. Will continue. The attack power of the character in turn-based battle will increase dramatically. Thus, the determination unit 104 determines the effect in the game according to the number of times the game has been continued.
