With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, an overview of a gaming system 600 (hereinafter referred to as “hit-WIN (registered trademark)”) 600 according to the embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the hit-WIN 600 includes a pachinko machine 1 as an example of a gaming machine, a server computer (hereinafter referred to as a server) 700, a communication terminal 800, and a communication network 900.
As shown in the figure, the pachinko machine 1 is mainly composed of a main control device 100 that executes a predetermined lottery regarding whether or not a so-called jackpot game is possible, and an effect display device constituted by a liquid crystal display or the like based on the predetermined lottery result. And a sub-control device 200 that controls the effect display displayed on 300. Further, the sub-control device 200 controls the effect display device 300 so that a two-dimensional code issue screen and a password input screen, which will be described later, are displayed in response to a predetermined operation by the player.
Further, the sub-control device 200 uses a predetermined character (My Character) corresponding to customization information to be described later, customized information management means 210E in which various data relating to the background image and the like are stored, and a predetermined start condition (start prize). The number of games in the case of one game from the start of the lottery based on the announcement of the lottery result, the number of big wins in the lottery, and the effect pattern performed for notifying the lottery result have become predetermined effect modes. Game history information for storing game history such as specific effects (for example, reach pattern), count of game points given in accordance with game execution (for example, symbol variation), achievement information for specific mission and achievement information for normal mission It has a management means 210F.

  The server 700 is a computer connected via a communication network 900 such as the Internet. The server 700 manages Web sites and the like that can be browsed at the time of customization setting by the player, and the ICC, The storage unit 700A can store and store player-specific information such as an IP address and a telephone number, and customization information and game history information associated with the player-specific information. Specific examples of customization information and game history information will be described later.

  The communication terminal 800 is an electronic device that can use a Web browser, such as a mobile phone, a smartphone (high performance mobile phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a so-called personal computer, and the player uses these electronic devices. Thus, communication with the server 700 is established via the communication network 900. In the present embodiment, as the communication terminal 800, the imaging unit 800A capable of imaging the two-dimensional code issued by the pachinko machine 1, the display 800B, the communication unit 800C that enables connection to the communication network 900, and the cross A mobile phone equipped with keys and other operation buttons will be described as an example.

  The communication network 900 includes, for example, a base station that can wirelessly communicate with the communication terminal 800 and can transmit and receive data transmitted from the communication terminal 800 and data transmitted from the server 700 to each other. The communication network 900 includes, for example, the Internet, a telephone network, a LAN, a dedicated line, and the like, and establishes communication with the communication terminal 800 and the server 700 via the base station.

  Hereinafter, an operation method of the hit-WIN 600 having the above configuration will be outlined with reference to FIGS. First, a player who has never played a game using the hit-WIN 600 needs to perform pre-registration for using the hit-WIN 600. Specifically, the player operates the operation unit 10 including a push button, a dial, or the like disposed on the front side of the pachinko machine 1 illustrated in FIG. 2, thereby causing the sub-control device 200 to display the display screen of the effect display device 300. A menu M1 shown in FIG. 3A is displayed on 300A, and an item “new registration” is selected from the menu M1. On the menu M1, items such as “password entry”, “save”, “return to previous screen”, etc. are set in addition to the item “new registration”.

  For example, a player who has already completed pre-registration selects the “password input” item and inputs a password (customization information) issued by the server 700 described later, so that the hit-WIN 600 is continued from the previous time. You can play games using. Further, when the game using the hit-WIN 600 is interrupted, by selecting the “save” item, the sub-control device 200 issues a second 2D code to be described later, and the player displays the effect display device 300. After the second two-dimensional code displayed on the display screen 300A is imaged by the imaging means 800A of the communication terminal 800, the server 700 is accessed so that the customization information and game history information so far are displayed on the server 700. Updated.

  When the item “new registration” is selected by the player, the sub-control device 200 generates a first two-dimensional code and displays the generated first two-dimensional code on the effect display device 300. Here, the first two-dimensional code is identification information that can be read by the imaging unit 800A of the communication terminal 800, such as a barcode or a QR code (registered trademark). Further, the first two-dimensional code includes code information indicating the location (URL) of a website opened individually for each model of the pachinko machine 1, and the communication terminal 800 is connected via the imaging unit 800A. URL information is generated based on the code information included in the read first two-dimensional code. In addition, the communication terminal 800 accesses the server 700 based on the generated URL information and transmits a new registration request command.

  Upon receiving the new registration request command, the server 700 acquires unique information such as the ICC, IP address, and telephone number of the communication terminal 800 owned by the player, and registers the information as the player unique information. By performing the registration, a storage area in the storage unit 700A dedicated to the player in which the game history information and the customization information are stored in the server 700 is secured, and preparation for using the hit-WIN 600 is completed.

  FIG. 3B is a diagram showing an example of the customization setting menu M2 displayed on the display 800B of the communication terminal 800 as a Web page dedicated to the player when the preparation for using the hit-WIN 600 is completed. As shown in the figure, the customization setting menu M2 includes selection items related to customization such as “My Character Settings”, “Reward Custom Settings”, “Auxiliary Custom Settings”, items related to password issuance, and total games so far The items related to the game history such as the number of times, the total number of big hits so far, and each item related to the game points are displayed as a list, and the player especially has the `` My character setting '', `` Reward custom setting '', `` Auxiliary custom setting '' By selecting and determining items, customization described below can be performed.

FIG. 4A is a diagram illustrating an example of the My Character setting menu M3 that is transitioned when the item “My Character Setting” is selected and determined in the customization setting menu M2. Here, “My Character” means a specific character arbitrarily selected by the player from among a plurality of characters whose models are different facial expressions and other characteristics. In this example, character A, character B, and character C are set as characters that can be arbitrarily selected by the player.
Then, the player selects a specific character desired to be “My Character” from the plurality of characters on the My Character setting menu M3, and sets any one of the characters A to C as “My Character”. When “My Character” is set by the player's selection, the server 700 stores information related to one of the characters A to C in the storage area related to the information of “My Character” in the storage unit 700A.
The example of FIGS. 4A and 4B shows a state in which, when “My Character” is not set, Character A is selected and the Character A is set as “My Character”. The player's “My Character” is set through the My Character setting menu M3, and information related to “My Character” is stored in the storage means 700A, so that the player sets it on the display screen 300A of the effect display device 300 described later. A predetermined display relating to “My Character” is displayed.

In “My Character”, LV (level) and experience value (My character's growth level is increased step by step every time the point addition value acquired based on the game progress reaches a certain number of units. In order to improve the parameters related to LV, the player advances the game with any one “My Character” set, and has a specific notice pattern or variation pattern. It is necessary to increase the parameter of “experience value” obtained by appearing or winning big hits.
Here, in order to acquire the experience value “1”, it is necessary to accumulate game points “100P (points)”, and the game points are added each time the game is played. Specifically, for example, every time one game is played in a normal state with a low lottery probability, +1 is added to the game points. In performing the one game, when a specific notice effect display is displayed in the middle, further game points are added by +1, and when the game is displayed with a specific video mode effect display, further game points are added by +1. When the lottery result is a win, the game point is further added +5.
In other words, the game points become easier to accumulate as the player continues to play the game, and accordingly, the experience value set as the parameter of the my character increases, and the LV of the my character is improved. In addition, since the threshold value is set in advance so that the experience value necessary for improving the LV gradually increases according to the current LV state, the higher the LV, the more game points necessary for the improvement to the next LV. To increase.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the reward custom setting menu M4 that is transitioned to when the item “Reward custom setting” is selected and determined in the customization setting menu M2.
Here, the “reward custom” includes contents that can be changed with respect to the production side of the pachinko machine 1. For example, the item “production effect custom” includes “production effect pack mini” and “production effect pack DX”. "And" effect effect pack FULL "are displayed. In addition, in the area corresponding to each of the effect effect packs, a display regarding whether or not “setting is possible” or “setting is not possible” is displayed, and the player can display the “effect effect pack” in which “setting is possible” is displayed. "Can only be selected. For example, immediately after completion of preparation for using the hit-WIN 600, only the “effect effect pack mini” can be selected, and the “effect effect pack DX” and the “effect effect pack FULL” cannot be selected. Is set. On the other hand, the “effect effect pack DX” and the “effect effect pack FULL” are exchanged for game points given by, for example, reaching a certain number of games or jackpot, or achieving a mission described later, Can be earned as a reward for achieving the above.
In other words, the player is given the right to change the effect on the effect by exchanging with game points or accomplishing the mission, and the player can obtain the desired customization information (the effect effect pack) by the given right. Can be selected and changed.

In addition, items of “music pack mini”, “music pack DX”, and “music pack FULL” are displayed in the “sound custom” item of “Reward custom”. Similarly to the above, in the area corresponding to “music pack”, a display regarding whether or not “setting is possible” or “setting is not possible” is displayed, and the player is indicated as “setting is possible”. Only “music pack” can be selected. For example, immediately after the completion of preparation for using the hit-WIN 600, only “music pack mini” can be selected, and “music pack DX” and “music pack FULL” cannot be selected. As described above, these music packs can be obtained in exchange for game points or as rewards for mission achievement.
In other words, the player is given the right to change the musical composition on stage by exchanging with game points or completing the mission, and the player selects the desired customization information (music pack) according to the granted right. , Can be changed.

When “production effect custom” and “sound custom” are set by the player's selection, the server 700 stores “production effect custom” and “sound custom” in the storage area regarding the information of “reward custom” in the storage unit 700A. Store information about the contents of
In the example of FIGS. 5A and 5B, when both “production effect custom” and “sound custom” are not set, the player produces “production effect pack mini” as “production effect custom”. "Is set from settable to" set ", and" music pack mini "is set from settable to set as" sound custom ".
The player makes a setting related to “GOBOY CUSTOM” through the custom gift setting menu M4, and stores information related to “GOBOY CUSTOM” in the storage means 700A, so that the player is displayed on the effect display device 300 described later. A predetermined display relating to the specific contents of the “Reward custom” set by is displayed.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the auxiliary custom setting menu M5 that is transitioned when the item “auxiliary custom setting” is selected and determined in the customization setting menu M2. Here, the auxiliary custom mainly includes the contents relating to the above-mentioned “My character” development assistance, and items such as “title custom”, “quest challenge custom”, and “game point preferential custom” are set. In the following, each custom is outlined, but the explanation for “quest challenge custom” and “game point preferential custom” is omitted.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the title custom setting menu M6 that is transitioned when “title custom” is selected in the auxiliary custom setting menu M5. As shown in the figure, the title custom setting menu M6 displays the name of “title”, the “content (effect)” of the privilege obtained when the title is set, and the availability of the setting. The player can select and set an arbitrary title from among the titles displayed as “can be set”.
The examples in FIGS. 7A and 7B show a state in which the title “Poker Queen” is set by the player when “title custom” is not set.

Here, the “title” is a privilege obtained by increasing the LV of “My Character” by acquiring “Experience Value” of My Character, which will be described later, or by achieving “Quest Mission” (specific mission). By proceeding with the game with the “title” set, it is possible to promote the growth of “My Character” under more advantageous conditions than when no title is set.
Further, for example, when the title “Poker Queen” is set, the content of the privilege (mission achievement facilitation privilege) given to the player is “reach pattern A selection rate UP”, and the title is set. When a game is played by the pachinko machine 1 in a state of being played, it is a specific variation pattern for notifying the lottery result, and a plurality of reach is provided so that the variation time required from the lottery start variation to the result notification is common. The selectivity of the “reach pattern A” among the patterns A to G is improved as compared with the case where the title is not set.
Thus, for example, when the “game point” given for the appearance of “reach pattern A” is set higher than the “game point” obtained when another reach pattern appears. By setting the title, it is possible to increase the appearance rate for reach patterns related to an arbitrary “my character” set by the player and efficiently increase the LV corresponding to each my character.

In this way, each title defines the contents of various benefits (mission achievement facilitation benefits) that assist the growth (level up) of “My Character” (preferential treatment of the selection rate of a specific performance pattern including specific information). Thus, by arbitrarily setting a title by the player, it becomes possible to efficiently promote the growth of any “My Character” set by the player. Further, the titles that can be set can be increased by increasing the LV of “My Character” by acquiring “Experience Value” or by achieving “Quest Mission (Mission No. 1 to No. 6)” described later.
In other words, the player is granted the right to change the title on the condition that a specific mission (quest mission) is achieved, and the player selects and changes the desired customization information (title) according to the granted right. can do.
For example, titles such as “Strengthening Star” and “Title A” to “Title E” displayed below can be obtained only by accomplishing “Quest Mission” described later. It is set as a title (“quest exclusive title”), and the content of the privilege is more advantageous for promoting the growth of “My Character” than the content of the privilege obtained by setting other titles.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram showing the contents of “mission” preset on the server 700 side and the pachinko machine 1 side.
As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the mission imposed on the player is roughly divided into the appearance of specific information (reach pattern or notice pattern) included in the performance pattern, and the achievement of the jackpot due to the specific performance pattern. (Quest) missions (Mission No. 1 to No. 6 in the figure) as a condition, and (usually) missions (Mission in the figure) whose achievement condition is only the appearance of specific information (reach pattern or notice pattern) included in the production pattern No. 95 to No. 99).
Specifically, with the appearance of a specific reach pattern (VS Lina Reach) and a jackpot based on the reach pattern as a condition for mission achievement, No1 “VS Lena Reach Bonus”, the appearance of a specific reach pattern (VS Anya Reach) No. 2 “Big hit with VS Anyia Reach”, where the jackpot with the reach pattern is a condition for accomplishing the mission, No 3 with the appearance of a specific reach pattern (VS mintry) and the jackpot with the reach pattern being the condition for achieving the mission No.4 “VS Rio reach jackpot”, specific notice pattern (premium notice 1), where “VS Mintry reach a big hit”, the appearance of a specific reach pattern (VS Rio reach), and a jackpot based on the reach pattern is a condition for mission achievement. And the notice pattern No. 5 “Premium notice 1 is a big hit” with the subsequent jackpot as the condition for mission achievement, No 6 “With the occurrence of a specific notice pattern (premium notice 2) and the big hit after the notice pattern appears as a condition for mission achievement. “Big Bonus in Premium Notice 2” is specified.
Further, the (ordinary) missions imposed on the player are provided with missions that do not include the jackpot acquisition as the content, and have the number of appearances of specific notice patterns and reach patterns as achievement conditions (missions No. 95 to No. 99 in the drawing).
Note that the above-mentioned mission achievement conditions are merely examples, and an effect mode (for example, a special symbol type) indicating that the achievement conditions become a gaming state (special game) advantageous to the player or the number of executions of the special game ( Various conditions such as the number of consecutive resorts may be defined as the achievement condition. In addition, the matters related to the LV increase of My Character, the number of games required for winning notification in a state more advantageous than the normal state (so-called probabilistic state, short time state, etc.) may be defined as the achievement condition.
Here, the reach pattern is a trust performed so that the player is told that the result will be won in one step in the middle of the notification effect until the result of the lottery executed based on the establishment of the start condition is derived. A plurality of development pattern effects based on moving image fluctuations suggesting improvement in degree, and a plurality of variations of the development pattern effects are set for each of a plurality of types of variation times.
In addition, the notice pattern indicates the possibility of the winning result at a predetermined opportunity of scenario video fluctuation based on the notification effect in the middle of the notification effect until the lottery result executed based on the establishment of the start condition is derived. This is an interruptive point effect image display that suggests an improvement in the reliability performed so as to talk to a person, and a plurality of aspect variations are set so as to be different from each other.
In the present invention, development is performed based on related processing information (information related to variation pattern processing transmitted from the main control device 100 to the sub control device 200) related to production of an effect pattern that can be randomly acquired based on game progress. Information as specific information, special symbol variation start / end command, special symbol hit / off command, variation pattern production type command (for example, reach command), special symbol symbol type command (for example, probable variation symbol command), game Various types of missions (achievement conditions related to player pre-approval) that can be designed by selecting and counting these commands, such as state type commands (for example, probability change state commands), etc. It is possible to be the contents of

When the above missions set on the server 700 side and the pachinko machine 1 side are achieved, an achievement reward is awarded to the player. For example, when mission No. 1 is achieved, that is, a specific production pattern “VS Lina Reach” appears in the game of the pachinko machine 1, and at the end of the reach, all three production symbols S are the same numbers and characters. When it stops and becomes “big hit”, the mission “big win with VS Lina Reach” has been achieved, and the title “strong star” is given as the achievement reward of the mission No1.
In addition, for example, when mission No. 5 is achieved, that is, a “premium notice 1” that is a specific production pattern appears in the game of the pachinko machine 1, and all the three production symbols S are the same at the end of the reach that develops thereafter. When the player stops at the number or character and becomes a “big hit”, the “big hit with premium notice 1” mission has been achieved, and “title D” is given as an achievement reward for the mission No. 5. As described above, the missions set in advance on the server 700 side and the pachinko machine 1 side are predetermined missions imposed on the player in relation to the game of the pachinko machine 1, and the player uses the hit-WIN 600. By completing (clearing) the mission while the game is in progress, it is possible to obtain an achievement reward on the server 700, and it is possible to promote the growth of “My Character” by the achievement reward. Each of the above-mentioned missions is imposed only during a game using the hit-WIN 600.

  As described above, “auxiliary custom” includes elements such as “title custom” to assist the growth of “my character”. After setting “my character” as described above on the server 700 side, By setting, it becomes possible to grow “My Character” under more advantageous conditions during the game of the pachinko machine 1. Similarly to the above-mentioned “production effect custom” and “sound custom”, when “title custom”, “quest challenge custom”, and “game point preferential custom” are set by the player, the server 700 stores the storage means. The contents of each custom are stored in the storage area regarding the information of “auxiliary custom” in 700A.

Next, the flow after the advance preparation of the hit-WIN 600 and the above custom setting will be described.
After completing the custom setting on the server 700, the player returns to the customization setting menu M2 of FIG. 3 by operating the communication terminal 800 and selects the item “issue password”. On the server 700 side, in response to the “password issuance” request, a password composed of alphabets, numbers, or a combination thereof as shown in FIG. 9 is generated and displayed on the display 800 B of the communication terminal 800.
That is, the customization information can be converted into password information composed of an alphanumeric combination that enables encryption conversion and decryption conversion of the encryption based on a predetermined algorithm, and alphanumeric characters based on the password information are input by the operation unit 10. Is read into the gaming machine (pachinko machine 1), the password information is analyzed by the gaming machine and decrypted into the customized information. The password generated and issued by the server 700 includes information related to customization (customization information) such as “my character”, “reward custom”, “auxiliary custom” set by the player. The information is analyzed by inputting the password displayed on the display 800B to the pachinko machine 1 side, and a game reflecting each customization described above can be executed on the pachinko machine 1 side by setting based on the information analysis. It becomes.

  Next, the main configuration and processing on the pachinko machine 1 side where the password issued from the server 700 by the player is input will be described in detail. FIG. 10A is a block diagram showing a main configuration of the pachinko machine 1. The pachinko machine 1 includes a main control device 100, a sub control device 200, a payout control device 400, and a launch control device 500 as main devices.

Although not shown in the figure, the LV (level) status update setting that improves as the experience value increases, the experience value update setting that increases each time the game points reach a certain number of units (for example, 100P), The game point management means for granting game points so that the game points increase as the game progresses is provided.
Hereinafter, main processing executed by the main control device 100 of the pachinko machine 1 and main processing executed by the effect control unit 210 of the sub-control device 200 will be described together with the progress of the game in the pachinko machine 1.

  FIG. 11 is a front view of the game board 5 mounted on the pachinko machine 1. The game board 5 includes a game area 31 where game balls flow down on the board surface. The game area 31 can be observed from the glass window 4 provided in the pachinko machine 1 shown in FIG. The game area 31 is partitioned and formed into a substantially circular shape by a guide rail 27 and a game ball regulation rail 28 that slide a game ball launched from a launching device provided inside the pachinko machine 1 (not shown). The launching device is driven and controlled by the launching control device 500 shown in FIG. 10A, and enters the game area 31 based on inputs from the touch switch 401, stop switch 402 and handle 7 input via the payout control device 400. A game ball is launched with a predetermined launch force and interval. Note that the touch switch 401 and the stop switch 402 are provided around the handle 7 (see FIG. 2) that is rotatably disposed in the lower part of the pachinko machine 1.

  A game ball launched into the game area 31 is detected by various winning parts and game parts such as a pass gate arranged in the game area 31. Hereinafter, main game parts will be described. A first starting component 61 is disposed at the center of the game area 31. The first starting component 61 has a winning opening that can take in a game ball flowing down the game area 31, and guides the gaming ball taken in from the winning opening to a discharge passage disposed behind the game board 5. . The game ball taken into the first starter component 61 is detected by a first starter detection sensor 91 disposed inside. As shown in FIG. 10A, the first start port detection sensor 91 is connected to the main control device 100 via an input port (not shown), and the detection signal is output to the main control device 100 side.

  A second starting component 62 is disposed on the right side of the game area 31. The second starting component 62 has a winning opening that can take in a game ball flowing down the game area 31, and an opening / closing body 62A that opens and closes the winning opening, and is taken in from the winning opening during the opening operation of the opening / closing body 62A. The game ball is guided to a discharge passage disposed behind the game board 5. The game ball taken into the second starting component 62 is detected by a second starting port detection sensor 92 disposed inside. Similar to the first start port detection sensor 91, the second start port detection sensor 92 is connected to the main control device 100 via an input port (not shown), and the detection signal is output to the main control device 100 side. The

  The main control device 100 transmits a prize ball payout command to the payout control device 400 based on the input of the detection signal from the first start port detection sensor 91 or the second start port detection sensor 92 described above. A predetermined lottery regarding whether or not a special game (big hit game) is to be executed is executed. The payout control device 400 controls the prize ball payout device 450 based on the prize ball number information included in the prize ball payout command transmitted from the main control device 100, and the upper plate formed on the front board 3 of the pachinko machine 1. The game ball is paid out to 3A. Note that the number of prize balls to be paid out for the winning of game balls to the first starting part or the second starting part 62 is set to, for example, three.

  Next, a predetermined lottery regarding whether or not a special game (big hit game) is executed by the main controller 100 will be described. Main controller 100 obtains one random number (random number for success / failure lottery) from random number generation means on hardware based on the input of a detection signal from first start port detection sensor 91 or second start port detection sensor 92. And stored in a storage area provided in the RAM. The range of random numbers generated by the random number generation means is an integer of, for example, 0 to 65535 that is periodically updated, and the main controller 100 detects from the first start port detection sensor 91 or the second start port detection sensor 92. One random number is acquired simultaneously with the input of the signal. The number of random numbers for success / failure lottery that can be stored in the RAM is, for example, four for each input of the first start port detection sensor 91 and the second start port detection sensor 92, for a total of eight. Although details are omitted, the random number acquired based on the input of the detection signal from the first start port detection sensor 91 or the second start port detection sensor 92 is not limited to the random number for the lottery, but the type of special game And random numbers that determine the gaming state after special games (random numbers for special figure type determination), random numbers that determine the variation time of special symbols and production symbols (variable time determination random numbers), which will be described later, are also acquired and stored at the same time .

  The main control device 100 reads the random number for winning / failing lottery stored in the RAM based on the fact that a predetermined start condition (not being a big hit game and special symbols are not fluctuating) is established. With reference to the success / failure lottery table, the success / failure result (“win” or “miss”) corresponding to the random number for success / failure lottery is extracted. The success / failure lottery table stipulates the success / failure result corresponding to each random number from 0 to 65535, and the main control device 100 corresponds to the acquired randomness for success / failure lottery by referring to the corresponding rejection lottery table. Extract the correct / incorrect result. Further, main controller 100 executes the extraction process of the special figure type and the variation time based on the above-described special figure type determination random number and the variation time determination random number together with the extraction of the result. Note that these extraction processes are performed by referring to a predetermined table in which a special figure type corresponding to a random number and a variation time are defined, in the same manner as the extraction of the success / failure result.

The main control device 100 controls the special symbol display device 110 based on the determination result and the variation time extracted by the above processing, and transmits a variation command including the information to the sub-control device 200 side. The special symbol display device 110 is a display device configured by, for example, a plurality of LED lamps disposed in the lower right portion of the game board 5, and is controlled by the main control device 100 to stop after the variable display. To notify the player of the above-described success / failure result.
For example, the time during which the LED lamp blinks at high speed is the variation time of the special symbol, and the special symbol is displayed in a variable manner for the extracted variation time and then stopped and displayed in a manner indicating the result of the success / failure.

Further, in synchronism with the start of the change of the special symbol, the sub-control device 200 side, based on the change command transmitted from the main control device 100, the effect display device 300, the amplifier not shown, and the speaker 8; 8 shown in FIG. Alternatively, drive control of various decorative parts such as LED lamps and movable accessories 70 mounted on the game board 5 is started.
In particular, on the display screen 300A of the effect display device 300, the change display of the effect symbol S that changes substantially in synchronization with the change of the special symbol is started and is determined by the effect pattern determining means 210A of the effect control unit 210. A notice effect, a reach effect, etc. based on the notice pattern and the reach pattern are developed.
For example, when the notice pattern is “notice pattern A” and the variation pattern is “reach pattern A”, it means that the winning reliability is improved at a predetermined timing after the start of the variation of the production symbol S. The notice effect mode A is executed with a specific image or the like that suggests that the “reach mode A” whose appearance rate is designed to occur.
That is, a predetermined number of effect symbols S (two in this example) are the same among a plurality of effect symbols S (three in this example) after a predetermined number of seconds from the notice effect A that has appeared after the start of variation of the effect symbols S. Develop a state of temporary stop by a number or character (a state in the middle of a change that satisfies the winning condition in one step). Thereafter, the remaining one production symbol S remains in the fluctuation state, and the development pattern based on the video fluctuation (reach mode A) suggesting an improvement in reliability so that the possibility of the winning result is conveyed to the player. Production (for example, action story by my character) comes to be performed.
Then, the fluctuation speed of one effect symbol S remaining at the end of the development pattern effect gradually decreases, and the same number or character of the two effect symbols S forming the reach aspect A according to the result of the success / failure lottery Notification of whether or not the lottery is selected is performed by displaying a stop display (hit notification) or a different number or character stop display (losing notification). The types of the notice effect and the reach mode that are developed during the fluctuation of the effect symbol S are a specific effect pattern (a winning pattern or a miss pattern) that includes the notice pattern (interrupt point effect image display) and the reach pattern. It is set to be different at random according to the production lottery related to, and the appearance of types of notice pattern and reach pattern is developed based on the decision processing of various specific production patterns, and various productions are played (game start) It is executed based on (condition).
And if the result of the lottery is “winning”, after all the design symbols S are stopped and displayed with the same numbers or characters, the big hit game (special game) is started. It will be “out”.

  When the above-described success / failure result is “winning”, a special game (big hit game) is executed after it is derived (stopped display) that the success / failure result is “hit” due to the suspension of fluctuation of the special symbol and the production symbol S. The The special game is executed when the special winning component 65 provided in the game area 31 is opened. As shown in FIG. 11, in this example, the special winning component 65 is disposed in the lower right portion of the game area 31. The big prize component 65 includes a rectangular big prize opening that can take in a game ball flowing down the game area 31, and a flap-like opening / closing body that can close or open the big prize opening, and controls the driving of the main controller 100. Thus, a special game is executed when the driving device (not shown) opens the flap-shaped opening / closing body forward. Specifically, the main control device 100 opens and closes the opening / closing body until a predetermined number of game balls are taken into the special winning opening or until a predetermined time elapses after the opening. For example, the operation of opening is repeated 15 times (15 rounds).

  The game ball taken into the special winning opening is detected by the special winning opening detection sensor 93 and then discharged to the outside through a discharge passage provided behind the gaming board 5. Further, the main control device 100 generates a prize ball payout command including information indicating that, for example, 15 prize balls should be paid out based on the detection signal from the special winning opening detection sensor 93, and the payout control device 400 side Send to. In this way, in the special game, a plurality of game balls are allowed to be awarded to the big prize component 65, so that the player can obtain many prize balls at a time. In addition, the mode of the jackpot game is provided in a plurality according to the special figure types extracted based on the special figure type determination random numbers described above, and in addition to the 15 round jackpot game, 2 rounds or 10 rounds of jackpot game, A jackpot game with a different number of winning balls can be set.

  In the game area 31, a passing gate 66, a plurality of general winning components 67, and the like are arranged in addition to the above-described game components. The passing gate 66 is a gate-shaped component that is also called a through chucker and has an open top and bottom, and includes a passing gate detection sensor 94 inside. When the game ball passes through the passage gate 66, it is detected by the passage gate detection sensor 94, and the detection signal is output to the main controller 100 side. Based on the input of the detection signal from the passage gate detection sensor 94, the main control device 100 executes a predetermined lottery relating to whether or not the opening / closing body of the second starting component 62 can be opened. Specifically, main controller 100 obtains one random number (normal lottery random number) from random number generating means for generating a predetermined range of random numbers based on the detection signal input from pass gate detection sensor 94, Remember. Then, main controller 100 reads the normal winning lottery random number stored based on the establishment of the predetermined start condition, and refers to the normal winning / non-winning lottery table to correspond to the normal winning / non-winning lottery random number. Extract the result (“win” or “off”). The success / failure result relating to the normal hit is derived by the normal symbol display device 120 disposed on the game board 5. The normal symbol display device 120 is composed of a plurality of LED lamps, and derives the result of success / failure for the normal hit by the lighting mode.

  In addition, the main control device 100 controls the driving device (not shown) based on the fact that the result of the normal hit is “hit”, opens the opening / closing body for a predetermined period and a predetermined number of times, and The winning of the second starting part 62 of the ball is prompted.

  The general winning component 67 is, for example, arranged in the vertical direction on the left side of the gaming area 31 and has a winning opening with an upper opening through which a game ball flowing down the gaming area 31 can be taken. The game ball taken in from the winning opening is discharged out of the machine through a discharge passage disposed behind the game board 5. The game ball taken in from the winning opening is detected by a general winning opening detecting sensor 95 provided inside. Based on the input of the detection signal from the general winning opening detection sensor 94, the main control device 100 generates a prize ball payout command including information indicating that, for example, five prize balls should be paid out, to the payout control device 400 side. Send.

The main control device 100 also includes a game state control means (not shown) for controlling the game state after the big hit game. In the present embodiment, there are “special figure low probability”, “special figure high probability”, “general figure low probability”, and “general figure high probability”, and the gaming state control means depends on the above-mentioned special figure type. These are combined to control the game state after the big hit game. The “special figure high probability” is a state in which the probability that the result of the success / failure lottery relating to whether or not the big hit is possible will be set to about 10 times higher than the “special figure low probability”. In addition, the “normal figure high probability” is a state in which the probability that the result of the above-mentioned lottery lottery related to the normal hit is “win” is set to about 10 times higher than the “normal figure low probability”.
Then, for example, when the game state is set to “high probability of special figure” and “high probability of ordinary figure”, the player launches the game ball to the right side of the game board 5, so that the second start of the game ball The component 62 can be won in succession, and the winning / losing lottery can be received under a condition that is approximately 10 times more advantageous than the “special figure low probability”, so that it is possible to win the big hit game again in a short period of time. Become. In general, the gaming state when the power is turned on is set to a gaming state of “low probability of special figure” and “low probability of ordinary figure”, and the player consists of various combinations every time he wins a big hit game. The game progresses in the gaming state.

  Next, main processing of the sub control device 200 that operates mainly based on the variable command transmitted from the main control device 100 will be described. As shown in FIG. 10, the effect control unit 210 of the sub-control device 200 includes an effect pattern determining means 210A, a mission achievement notifying means 210B, an audio control means 210C, an accessory control means 210D, a customization information management means 210E, and a game history. Information management means 210F is provided. Hereinafter, the functions of the effect pattern determination means 210A, the mission achievement notification means 210B, the customization information management means 210E, and the game history information management means 210F will be described in particular.

  As shown in FIG. 12 (a), the effect pattern determination means 210A is referred to based on the notice pattern determination random number acquisition unit 212, information related to the change time included in the change command, and information related to the result. Variation including a plurality of variation pattern tables referred to based on the result of the lottery pattern determination group 215, the variation pattern determination random number acquisition unit 217, the variation time included in the variation command, and the lottery determination A pattern table group 220.

  The random number acquisition unit 212 for determining the announcement pattern and the random number acquisition unit 217 for determining the variation pattern simultaneously with the reception of the variation command transmitted from the main control device 100, for example, for determining the announcement pattern provided as a software counter (not shown), respectively. One random number is extracted from the random number generation means and the fluctuation pattern determination random number generation means. Here, the random number generated by the notice pattern determining random number generating means and the variation pattern determining random number generating means is an integer from 0 to 39, for example.

  The effect pattern determination means 210A is included in the variation command among the notification pattern determination random number extracted by the notification pattern determination random number acquisition unit 212 and the plurality of notification pattern tables constituting the notification pattern table group 215 described below. The specific notice pattern is extracted and determined with reference to one of the corresponding notice pattern tables based on the change time and the information related to the lottery.

FIG. 12B is a schematic diagram showing the contents of the notice pattern table group 215. As shown in the drawing, the notice pattern table group 215 is referred to when the winning lottery pattern tables 215A to 215C are referred to when the winning / failing lottery is “winning”, and when the winning / failing lottery is “missing”. The release notice pattern tables 215D to 215G are subdivided.
Further, the winning notice pattern tables 215A to 215C are tables that are referred to when the variation times are “15 seconds”, “30 seconds”, and “45 seconds”, respectively, and the losing notice pattern tables 215D to 215G are These tables are referred to when the variation times are “2 seconds”, “15 seconds”, “30 seconds”, and “45 seconds”, respectively. As shown in the figure, each notice pattern table is defined such that the selection rates of the notice patterns corresponding to the notice pattern determining random numbers from 0 to 39 are different.

For example, the winning notice pattern table 215A that is referred to when the variation time is “15 seconds” and the result is “hit” includes the patterns from the notice patterns A to C including “no notice”. Is defined by a predetermined selectivity.
In addition, the winning notice pattern table 215B referred to when the variation time is “30 seconds” and the result is “hit” includes the patterns from notice patterns A to G including “no notice”. Is defined by a predetermined selectivity.
In addition, in addition to the notice patterns A to G, the “premium notice 1” described above is included in the hit notice pattern table 215C that is referred to when the variation time is “45 seconds” and the result is “win”. "Premium notice 3" is defined by a predetermined selection rate.
As is apparent from the item “selection rate” in the figure, the appearance rate of each notice pattern is roughly corresponding to the length of the fluctuation time, the notice patterns A to C, the notice patterns D to G, and the “premium notice”. It is set to be relatively higher in the order of “1” to “Premium notice 3”. Note that the item “selection rate” is given for convenience and is not defined in the actual table.

In addition, for example, in the caution pattern table for detachment 215D that is referred to when the variation time is “2 seconds” and the result is “miss”, the caution pattern A to B including “no notice” is included. A pattern is defined by a predetermined selectivity. Similarly, the off-notice notice pattern table 215E referred to when the variation time is “15 seconds” and the result is “off” includes the notice patterns A to C including “no notice”. These patterns are defined by a predetermined selectivity. Similarly, the notice pattern for losing table 215F referred to when the variation time is “30 seconds” and the result is “missing” includes the notice patterns A to G including “no notice”. The pattern is defined by a predetermined selectivity. Similarly, in the detachment notice pattern table 215G that is referred to when the variation time is “45 seconds” and the result is “miss”, patterns from the notice patterns A to G have a predetermined selection rate. It is prescribed by. As is clear from the selection rate in FIG. 9, the losing notice pattern table 215F or the losing notice pattern table that is referred to when the result is “miss” and the variation time is “30 seconds” or “45 seconds”. The probability that patterns from notice patterns D to G in 215G are selected is a hit notice pattern table that is referred to when the result is “hit” and the variation time is “30 seconds” or “45 seconds”. It is set lower than the probability that the notice patterns D to G in 215B or the winning notice pattern table 215C are selected, and “Premium notice 1” to “Premium notice 3” are not selected. That is, the notice patterns D to G tend to be selected when the success / failure result is “win”, and “premium notice 1” to “premium notice 3” are selected only when the success / failure result is “win”. It is a notice pattern to get.
The “notice pattern” is defined in various combinations of the notice effects displayed on the display screen 300A of the effect display device 300, and from the change start of the effect symbol S to the change stop depending on the type. Various notice effects are displayed at a predetermined timing. Further, in this example, the notification pattern is determined based on the variation time and the result of success / failure. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the extraction / determination is performed after the variation pattern described later is extracted and determined in advance. The structure which determines the notice pattern corresponding to the changed fluctuation pattern (reach pattern) by lottery, or the structure which extracts and determines the type of the notice effect individually by lottery for each stage timing corresponding to the fluctuation time of the production symbol S Etc. can also be adopted.

  The effect pattern determination means 210A is included in the variation command among the variation pattern determination random number extracted by the variation pattern determination random number acquisition unit 217 and a plurality of variation pattern tables constituting the variation pattern table group 220 described below. A specific variation pattern (reach pattern) is extracted and determined with reference to one of the corresponding variation pattern tables on the basis of the variation time and the information related to the lottery.

  FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing the contents of the variation pattern table group 220. As shown in the figure, the variation pattern table group 220 is referred to when the success / failure result is “win”, and when the success / failure result is “out”. The variation pattern tables 220D to 220G for detachment are subdivided. The winning variation pattern tables 220A to 220C are tables that are referred to when the variation times are “15 seconds”, “30 seconds”, and “45 seconds”, respectively, and the deviation variation pattern tables 220D to 220G are These tables are referred to when the variation times are “2 seconds”, “15 seconds”, “30 seconds”, and “45 seconds”, respectively. As shown in the figure, each variation pattern table is defined so that the variation pattern selection rates corresponding to the variation pattern determination random numbers from 0 to 39 are different.

For example, the variation pattern table 220A referred to when the variation time is “15 seconds” and the determination result is “hit” includes variation patterns from reach patterns A to C according to a predetermined selection rate. It is prescribed.
Further, in the variation pattern table for contact 220B referred to when the variation time is “30 seconds” and the result of the success / failure is “hit”, the variation patterns from the reach patterns A to G are determined according to a predetermined selection rate. It is prescribed.
In addition, in addition to the reach patterns A to G, the above-described “VS Lina Reach” is included in the hit variation pattern table 220C that is referred to when the variation time is “45 seconds” and the success / failure result is “hit”. , “VS Any Reach”, “VS Mintry” and “VS Rio Reach” are defined by a predetermined selection rate.
As apparent from the “selection rate” item in FIG. 8, the appearance rate of each reach pattern is roughly corresponding to the length of the variation time, reach patterns A to C, reach patterns D to G, and “VS Lina Reach”. , “VS Any Reach”, “VS Min Reach”, “VS Rio Reach”, etc.

For example, the variation pattern table 220 </ b> D for referencing when the variation time is “2 seconds” and the result is “displaced” defines a variation pattern of “no reach”. Similarly, the variation pattern table 220E for detachment that is referred to when the variation time is “15 seconds” and the result is “missing” includes “no reach” to reach patterns A to C. The fluctuation pattern is defined by a predetermined selectivity.
Similarly, in the deviation variation pattern table 220F that is referred to when the variation time is “30 seconds” and the result is “out”, the variation patterns from reach patterns A to G are selected in advance. It is defined by the rate. Similarly, the variation pattern table 220G for detachment referred to when the variation time is “45 seconds” and the determination result is “displacement” includes the reach patterns A to G and the “VS reach” described above. The variation pattern up to is defined by a predetermined selectivity. As is clear from the selection rate in FIG. 8, the variation pattern table 220F for variation or the variation pattern table for failure to be referred to when the result is “out” and the variation time is “30 seconds” or “45 seconds”. The probability that the variation pattern of the reach patterns D to G in 220G and the variation pattern of “VS system reach” is selected is referred when the result is “hit” and the variation time is “30 seconds” or “45 seconds”. Reference is made when the prediction patterns D to G in the hit variation pattern table 220B or the hit variation pattern table 220C are set relatively lower than the probability of being selected and the variation time is “30 seconds”. In the deviation variation pattern table 220F, “VS reach” is not selected. That is, the notice patterns D to G and the “VS reach” are fluctuation patterns that tend to be selected when the result is “winning”.

  Here, the “variation pattern” defines a variation aspect of the effect symbol S displayed on the display screen 300A of the effect display device 300, and the variation aspect of the effect symbol S depending on the type (reach effect). Are set differently. The “reach” is a state in which two of the three effect symbols S are temporarily stopped by the same number or character, and the remaining effect symbols S form the reach. A stop mode that can be a big hit if it is stopped and displayed with the same number or character. Then, after the reach is formed and before the remaining effect symbol S is stopped and displayed, the reach effect is displayed by an image or a moving image according to the type of reach pattern extracted and determined with reference to the above table. It is displayed on the display screen 300A of the apparatus 300, and the game is excited until the display of the effect symbol S is stopped.

The variation pattern determining means 210A of the effect control unit 210 transmits to the effect display device 300 an effect start command including information related to the effect pattern (notice pattern and change pattern) extracted and determined from each table and the result of the determination. Thereby, the variation of the production symbol S including various production patterns on the display screen 300A of the production display device 300 is started.
On the effect display device 300 side, the contents of the effect start command transmitted from the effect control unit 210 side are analyzed, and in accordance with the notice pattern or the variation pattern determined by the variation pattern determination means 210A, The moving image is read from a ROM (not shown) and output on the display screen 300A.

  Next, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B will be described. The mission achievement notifying unit 210B, at a predetermined time during the change of the production symbol S, based on the fact that the customization information managing unit 210E described later determines that a specific mission described later will be achieved. A mission completion notification display for allowing the player to recognize that the mission will be achieved is displayed on the display screen 300A of the effect display device 300 before the change of the effect symbol S is stopped. Although details will be described later, the determination as to whether or not the mission has been accomplished by the customization information management unit 210E is based on the contents of the production pattern (notice pattern, reach pattern) determined by the above-described production pattern determination unit 210A, and a preset mission. More specifically, when it is executed by comparing the contents of a specific mission (Mission No. 1 to No. 6 in this example) that is a big hit by achievement, and it is determined that the mission will be achieved , An achievement notification execution command is transmitted to the mission completion notification means 210B.

  The mission achievement notifying unit 210B executes processing described below based on reception of the achievement notification execution command. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the flow of the mission completion notification process by the mission completion notification means 210B. As shown in the figure, the mission achievement notifying means 210B determines whether or not an achievement notification execution command has been received in S100, proceeds to S101 if YES, and repeatedly executes the determination if NO.

  In step S101, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B, in response to the reception of the achievement notification execution command, the achievement notification presence / absence determination random number and the achievement notification timing determination random number, which are not shown in the figure, are achieved. Obtained from the notification time determination random number generation means, and the process proceeds to S102. The achievement notification presence / absence determination random number generation means and the achievement notification timing determination random number generation means are provided as software counters, and generate integers from 0 to 19, for example, as random numbers.

  In S102, the mission achievement notifying means 210B extracts and determines the presence / absence of notification with reference to the achievement notification presence / absence determination random number acquired in S101 and the achievement notification presence / absence determination table (not shown), and proceeds to S103. The achievement notification presence / absence determination table defines “present” and “none” of notification corresponding to each achievement notification presence / absence determination random number. For example, 30% of the achievement notification presence / absence determination random number includes notification “present”. The remaining 70% is defined as “None”. When the lottery is executed, the mission achievement notification is not executed every time when the achievement notification execution command is received, so that the loss of the player's expectation when the mission achievement notification is not executed is prevented. It becomes possible.

  In S103, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B determines whether the lottery result in S102 is “notification present”. If YES, the process proceeds to S104, and if NO, one process is terminated. In S104, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B extracts and determines the notification time (mission achievement notification display time) with reference to the achievement notification time determination random number acquired in S101 and the achievement notification time determination table (not shown). Then, the process proceeds to S105. The notification time corresponding to the achievement notification time determination random number is defined in the achievement notification time determination table. Specifically, “at the start of change”, “after 8 seconds from change (when reach is reached)”, “after 12 seconds from change (at start of reach production)”, “when button (operation unit 10) is pressed”, “specific” Five types of time “when the notice effect appears” are defined at an equal rate. Note that the above timing is an example, and it is determined by the player that the result is “winning” according to the timing before the stop of the change after the start of the effect symbol S, in other words, the stop state of the effect symbol S. Any time may be set as long as it is a time before recognition.

  In S105, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B generates an achievement notification display command including the achievement mission information (mission No) included in the achievement notification execution command and the information related to the notification time extracted and determined in S104, thereby producing an effect display device. The data is transmitted to the 300 side, and one process is completed. On the side of the effect display device 300 that has received the achievement notification display command transmitted from the effect control unit 210 side, the mission achievement notification display including the accomplished mission information is extracted and determined on the display screen 300A at the predetermined time determined in S104. indicate.

FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a mission achievement notification display displayed on the display screen 300A during the variation display of the effect symbol S. As shown in the figure, in the mission completion notification display, a display area R1 in which characters of “achievement” (MISSION COMPLETE) are displayed, a mission number that has been achieved, and a specific content (in the example shown, “No1 VS Lina Reach is a big hit ") Is displayed, and a player who has visually recognized the display can immediately recognize that the mission displayed in the display area R2 has been achieved.
In addition, when a plurality of missions (for example, mission No. 1 and mission No. 5) are achieved at the same time, a plurality of mission numbers and specific contents are displayed in the display area R2. Further, for example, when the above-described mission achievement notification display is displayed before the reach effect relating to “VS Lina Reach” occurs, for example, at the start of fluctuation of the effect symbol S or immediately before the start of the reach effect, the player displays It is possible to recognize the fact that the mission was achieved before the reach production related to “VS Lena Reach” actually occurred on the screen 300A, more specifically, “Big hit with VS Lena Reach”, and the player can recognize it first. Will be able to watch the game's whereabouts with even greater expectations. The mission completion notification display is continuously displayed for 2 seconds while the effect symbol S is changing, and then deleted.
In addition, the said mission achievement notification display is an example, For example, you may alert | report to a player including the display regarding profit information (achievement reward) obtained by mission completion. For example, if a message such as “Acquire a lucky star !!” is added as profit information when “Mission No. 1” is achieved on the mission achievement notification display, the player recognizes the acquisition of the big hit and the achievement reward at the same time. It is possible to watch the whereabouts of the game with more expectation because it can.
In addition, for example, the mission completion notification display may be displayed for a longer time, and the characters (“achievement” (MISSION COMPLETE)) displayed in the display area R1 may be displayed with a delay after a predetermined period.

  Next, the customization information management means 210E closely related to the missions set in the pachinko machine 1 and the server 700 will be described. FIG. 10B is a block diagram showing the configuration of the customization information management unit 210E. As shown in the figure, the customization information management unit 210E includes a password management unit 230, a customization information storage unit 240, a customization information display unit 250, and a mission management unit 260.

  The password management unit 230 is issued by the server 700, and is updated by a password analysis unit 230A that analyzes a password input by the player, customization information preset by the player and the progress of the game at the end of the game. A two-dimensional code issuing unit 230B that issues a second two-dimensional code including game history information or information related to mission achievement.

  The password analysis unit 230A analyzes the content of the customization information (such as My Character) set by the player on the server 700, and determines whether the password is a valid password by comparing it with a previously registered password list. Note that the password is input by operating the operation unit 10 on the password input menu M10 in FIG. 16A, which transitions based on the selection of the “password input” item in the menu M1 shown in FIG. .

  The two-dimensional code issuing unit 230B uses preset customization information set by the player based on the selection of the “save” item in the menu M1 shown in FIG. Information related to whether or not a mission has been determined and stored, information related to the number of games and jackpots counted by a game history information management unit 210F described later, other information related to experience values, information related to the LV of “My Character”, etc. Is generated and displayed on the display screen 300A of the effect display device 300. The second 2D code is different from the first 2D code issued at the time of the above-mentioned pre-registration in that various information updated as the game progresses is added. Similar to the first two-dimensional code, a barcode, QR code (registered trademark), or the like including code information indicating the location (URL) of a website opened individually for each model of the pachinko machine 1 is included.

  The customization information storage unit 240 includes storage means such as ROM storing various customization information that can be set by the player on the server 700 side and corresponding image data. The customization display unit 250 is displayed by the password analysis unit 230A. Depending on the contents of the analyzed password, an image of My Character and image data corresponding to specific custom contents are extracted, and a predetermined display area R2 is displayed on the display screen 300A.

  FIG. 16B is a diagram showing a state of the display screen 300A of the effect display device 300 after the password is input. As shown in the figure, when a password is input by the player, a display area R2 in which information related to customization set by the player is displayed below the display area R1 in which the effect symbol S is displayed. In the display area R2, “My Character” set by the player and other information related to customization are displayed in an aggregated manner.

  For example, in the display area R2, an image P1 of a specific character (character A in this example) set as “My Character”, a decorative frame P2 set for each “My Character”, and the current LV display of “My Character” A part P3, a current experience value display part P4 of "My character", a title display part P5 for displaying the contents of "Title", a quest challenge display part P6 for displaying the presence or absence of a quest challenge, and the like are provided. That is, the customization information display unit 250 reads an image corresponding to the customization set by the player from the customization information storage unit 240 based on the result of the password analysis by the password analysis unit 230A, and controls the effect display device 300. It is displayed on the display screen 300A. Then, by providing the display area R2 on the display screen 300A, the player can proceed with the game while grasping the information related to customization set by the player.

As shown in FIG. 10B, the mission management unit 260 includes a mission achievement determination unit 260A, a mission storage unit 260B, and an effect pattern count unit 260C. The mission achievement determination unit 260A includes the contents of the specific mission (mission No. 1 to No. 6 in this example) stored in advance in the mission storage unit 260B and the contents of the effect pattern determined by the effect pattern determination unit 210A. To determine whether the mission can be accomplished. When it is determined that a specific mission (mission No. 1 to No. 6) will be achieved as a result of the determination, an achievement notification execution command is transmitted to the aforementioned mission achievement notification means 210B. A mission completion notification process by the achievement notification unit 210B is executed.
Although not described in detail, the mission achievement determination unit 260A determines the number of appearances of the production pattern (notice pattern and reach pattern) counted by the production pattern counting unit 260C and the mission (this example) stored in the mission storage unit 260B. Then, the contents (threshold values) of mission No. 95 to No. 99) are collated to determine whether or not the mission can be achieved.
Hereinafter, a specific mission achievement determination process by the mission achievement determination unit 260A will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

  The mission achievement determination unit 260A determines whether a game using the hit-WIN 600 is performed by the player in S200. If YES, the process proceeds to S201, and if NO, the process is repeatedly executed. This determination is executed based on whether or not the password issued by the server 700 by the player has already been input. If the password analysis by the password analysis unit 230A has been completed, the process proceeds to S201. More specifically, after the password is analyzed, the determination is made based on the state (“0” or “1”) of the hit-WIN usage flag set by the password analysis unit 230A.

  In S201, the mission achievement determination unit 260A determines whether the success / failure result is “winning” based on the information related to the success / failure result included in the variable command transmitted from the main control device 100. If YES, the process proceeds to S202. If NO, the process is terminated once.

In S202, the mission achievement determination unit 260A reads the contents of the effect pattern (notice pattern or reach pattern) determined by the effect pattern determination unit 210A and a plurality of specific mission contents stored in the mission storage unit 260B. , S203 is entered. In S203, the mission achievement determination unit 260A determines that the content of the effect pattern (notice pattern or reach pattern) read in S202 is the achievement condition of the specific mission (in this example, missions No1 to No6 including the content of “big hit”). If YES, the process proceeds to S204. If NO, one process is terminated.
Here, for example, in the case where the “premium notice 1” is extracted for the notice pattern and the “VS Lina Reach” is extracted for the variation pattern, the effect pattern determined by the effect pattern determining means 210A. In order to satisfy the contents (achievement conditions) of mission No. 1 “Big win with VS Lina Reach” and mission No. 6 “Big hit with Premium notice 1”, the determination is YES.

  On the other hand, for example, when the effect pattern determined by the effect pattern determining means 210A is extracted as “notice pattern A” for the notice pattern, and “reach pattern D” is extracted for the variation pattern. Therefore, since none of the contents (achievement conditions) of the specific missions No1 to No6 is satisfied, the determination is NO.

  In S204, the mission achievement determination unit 260A generates an achievement notification execution command as an internal command including information related to the mission No. that satisfies the achievement condition by the determination in S203, and transmits the achievement notification execution command to the mission achievement notification means. It transmits to 210B and complete | finishes one process.

As described above, in the mission achievement determination process by the mission achievement determination unit 260A, the player uses the hit-WIN 600 and the result is “hit”, and “big hit” is the achievement condition. The contents of specific missions to be included (in this example, missions No. 1 to No. 6) are matched with the contents of the effect patterns (notice pattern, reach pattern) extracted and determined by the effect pattern determination means 210A, and the effects extracted and determined When the pattern achieves a specific mission, an achievement notification execution command is transmitted to the mission completion notification means 210B.
Then, on the mission achievement notifying unit 210B side that has received the achievement notice execution command, the mission achievement notice process in FIG. 14 described above is executed, and the mission achievement notice display is displayed on the display screen 300A before the change of the effect symbol S is stopped. In advance, the player is informed that the mission is achieved, in other words, that a specific mission including “big hit” in the achievement condition is achieved.
Then, the player can detect in advance that a specific mission including “big hit” as an achievement condition will be achieved, so that the final stop mode of the production symbol S that is currently fluctuating indirectly indicates a big hit It is possible to grasp the fact that the changing design symbol S is changing, and to watch with high expectation or with peace of mind.

  Next, the game history information management unit 210F will be described. The game history information management means 210F includes a game number counter C1 and a big hit number counter C2 (not shown). The game number counter C1 is a counter that is counted up by the game history information management unit 210F every time a variation command transmitted from the main control device 100 is received, and in a state in which the hit-WIN 600 is used by the player. When the game is in progress, the number of receptions of the variable command is counted, and the number of receptions is stored as the number of games.

  The big hit number counter C2 is a counter that is counted up by the game history information management means 210F every time a big hit game start command transmitted from the main controller 100 is received, and the hit-WIN 600 is used by the player. When the game progresses in the state and the big hit game is started, the number of reception of the big hit game start command is counted, and the received number is stored as the number of big hit games. Information relating to the number of games and the number of jackpot games counted by the counters is included as game history information when the second 2D code is issued, and transmitted to the server 700 side.

  Next, a procedure for ending the game of the pachinko machine 1 using the hit-WIN 600 will be described. When the game using the hit-WIN 600 is ended, as described above, the player displays the menu M1 shown in FIG. 3A on the display screen 300A by the operation of the operation unit 10, and “Save” is selected from the menu M1. Select the “Yes” item. Based on the selection of the “save” item, the two-dimensional code issuing unit 230B is configured to provide various customization information set in advance by the player, information on game points and experience values obtained by the game, and experience values. Information on the LV of “My Character” that is improved according to the game, the number of appearances of the reach pattern and the notice pattern added and stored by the effect pattern count unit 260C, and the game history information added and stored by the counters C1 and C2, or “Mission” ”Is generated, and the second 2D code is displayed on the display screen 300 </ b> A of the effect display device 300.

  Then, the player reads the second two-dimensional code via the imaging unit 800A of the communication terminal 800 and executes access to the server 700 via the communication terminal 800. Communication terminal 800 establishes access to server 700 and transmits a data storage request command to server 700.

  On the server 700 side that has received the data storage request command, based on the player-specific information of the communication terminal 800, the customized information and game points are stored in the storage area in the player-specific storage means 700A secured at the time of pre-registration. And information related to experience values, information related to the LV of “My Character”, the number of appearances of reach patterns and notice patterns, game history information, etc. are updated and stored.

Moreover, the server 700 gives a privilege to a player based on the various information updated. For example, the server 700 converts and gives the number of jackpots included in the game history information to the game points shown in FIG. For example, one big hit number is converted as five game points. For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the game points displayed as 0 points immediately after use registration are added and displayed according to the number of games and the number of jackpots.
Further, when the “mission” is achieved, the server 700 gives the player the above-described achievement reward for the completed mission.

As described above, according to the hit-WIN 600 according to the present embodiment, the settings relating to various customizations set on the server 700 and the game of the pachinko machine 1 in a state where the settings relating to the customization are reflected are repeatedly executed. As a result, the number of items that can be customized gradually increases, and the growth of “My Character” can be promoted under more advantageous conditions, so that the game motivation of the pachinko machine 1 can be improved.
In particular, in the present embodiment, when a specific mission that is set in advance on the pachinko machine 1 and the server 700 side and includes a “hit” in the achievement condition is achieved, the fact is stated in advance. By providing the mission achievement notifying means 210B that notifies the player before the fluctuation stop of the production symbol S that can detect that the player is a “hit”, before the final stop mode of the production symbol S is visually confirmed Since it can be understood that the variation of the production symbol S becomes a “hit”, it is possible to greatly improve the game performance.

  Next, another embodiment of the pachinko machine 1 will be described. In the pachinko machine 1 according to the present embodiment, in addition to the above-described mission achievement notification display, the mission achievement notification unit 210B displays a mission achievement prediction (prediction) display that notifies the mission achievement expectation degree on the display screen 300A. It differs in that it is displayed.

  FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a mission achievement forecast display. As shown in the figure, the mission achievement forecast display is an area E1 in which a forecast probability (expected degree) such as “achievement forecast 60%” is suggested by a predetermined character, a mission number that can be achieved, and its contents (the figure). Then, it has the area E2 that suggests No. 1 VS Lina Reach ...), and is displayed small in the lower right corner of the display screen 300A, for example. Hereinafter, the mission achievement determination process by the mission achievement determination unit 260A and the mission achievement forecast display process by the mission achievement notification unit 210B will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In S300, the mission achievement determination unit 260A determines whether or not a game using the hit-WIN 600 is being performed by the player in the same manner as in S200 described above. If YES, the process proceeds to S301. If NO, the process is performed. Repeatedly.

In S301, the mission achievement determination unit 260A reads the contents of the effect pattern (notice pattern or reach pattern) determined by the effect pattern determination unit 210A and a plurality of specific mission contents stored in the mission storage unit 260B. The process proceeds to S302. In S302, the mission achievement determination unit 260A determines that the content of the effect pattern (notice pattern or reach pattern) read out in S301 is the achievement condition of the specific mission (in this example, mission Nos. 1 to 6 including the content of “big hit”). It is determined whether it is prescribed | regulated as a part of this, and when it is YES, it transfers to S303, and when NO, one process is complete | finished.
Here, for example, in the case where the “premium notice 1” is extracted for the notice pattern and the “VS Lina Reach” is extracted for the variation pattern, the effect pattern determined by the effect pattern determining means 210A. Judging to satisfy the contents (achievement conditions) of “VS Lina Reach” which is a part of mission No. 1 “VS Lina Reach” and “Premium Notice 1” which is a part of Mission No. 6 “Hen Bonus from Premium Advance 1” Becomes YES.

In S303, the mission achievement determination unit 260A notifies the achievement and forecast as an internal command including information on the mission No. that satisfies a part of the achievement condition by the determination in S302 and information on the result of the success / failure included in the variation command. An execution command is generated, and the achievement / forecast notification execution command is transmitted to the mission completion notification means 210B to complete one process.
As described above, the mission achievement determination unit 260A according to the present embodiment is used when the production pattern (notice pattern or reach pattern) extracted and determined by the production pattern determination unit 210A satisfies a part of the achievement conditions of a specific mission. Then, an achievement / forecast notification execution command including the information related to the mission number and the information related to the result of the success / failure is transmitted to the mission achievement notification means 210B.

As shown in FIG. 19 (b), in S400, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B determines whether or not the above-described achievement / forecast notification execution command has been received. If YES, the process proceeds to S401. If NO, the determination is made. Repeatedly.
In S401, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B corresponds to the reception of the achievement / forecast notification execution command, an achievement notification presence / absence determination random number, an achievement notification timing determination random number, an achievement prediction presence / absence determination random number, an achievement prediction timing determination random number, Achievement prediction probability determination random number and prediction character determination random number, achievement notification presence / absence determination random number generation means, achievement notification timing determination random number generation means, achievement prediction presence / absence determination random number generation means, achievement prediction timing determination The random number generating means for acquiring, the random number generating means for determining the achievement prediction probability, and the random number generating means for determining the predicted character are acquired, and the process proceeds to S402. Each of the random number generating means is provided as a software counter, and generates an integer from 0 to 19, for example, as a random number.

  In S402, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B determines whether or not the result is “hit”. If YES, the process proceeds to S403, and if NO, the process proceeds to S406. This determination is executed based on information relating to the result of success / failure included in the achievement / forecast notification execution command. In S403, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B extracts and determines the presence / absence of notification with reference to the achievement notification presence / absence determination table in the same manner as the processing of S102 described above, and proceeds to S404. In S404, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B determines whether the lottery result in S403 is “notification present”. If YES, the process proceeds to S405, and if NO, the process proceeds to S406.

  In step S405, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B extracts and determines the notification time with reference to the achievement notification time determination random number and the achievement notification time determination table (not shown) in the same manner as the processing in S104 described above. Migrate to The achievement notification time is as described above. As described above, the presence / absence of the mission achievement notification display and the notification timing thereof are determined by the processing of S402 to S405.

  In step S406, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B extracts and determines the presence / absence of the achievement forecast with reference to the achievement prediction presence / absence random number acquired in step S401 and the achievement prediction presence / absence determination table (not shown), and the process proceeds to step S407. . Similar to the above-described achievement notification presence / absence determination table, the forecast presence / absence determination table defines “presence” and “none” of predictions corresponding to each achievement prediction presence / absence random number. The forecast “Yes” is defined for 30% of the random numbers, and the forecast “No” is defined for the remaining 70%. In S407, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B determines whether the lottery result in S406 is “forecast”. If YES, the process proceeds to S408, and if NO, one process is terminated.

In S408, the mission achievement notifying means 210B extracts the forecast time (display time of the mission achievement forecast display) with reference to the achievement forecast time determination random number acquired in S401 and the achievement forecast time determination table outside the figure, The process proceeds to S409. In the achievement forecast timing determination table, the forecast timing corresponding to the random number for determining the achievement forecast timing is specified, and specifically, “at the start of change”, “after 8 seconds from change (when reach is established)”, Five periods, “12 seconds after the change (when the reach effect starts)”, “when the button (operation unit 10) is pressed”, and “when the specific notice effect appears” are defined at an equal rate. Note that the above timing is an example, and it is determined by the player that the result is “winning” according to the timing before the stop of the change after the start of the effect symbol S, in other words, the stop state of the effect symbol S. Any time may be set as long as it is a time before recognition.
Further, since the above time is the same as the time when the mission achievement notification is displayed, the mission achievement prediction display may be displayed before or after the mission completion notification display or at the same time.

  In S409, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B determines whether or not the result is “hit”. If YES, the process proceeds to S410, and if NO, the process proceeds to S412. This determination is executed based on information relating to the result of success / failure included in the achievement / forecast notification execution command. In step S410, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B refers to the prediction prediction probability determination table 270A stored in the ROM, extracts and determines a prediction probability display corresponding to the random number for determining the achievement prediction probability acquired in step S401, and executes step S411. Migrate to On the other hand, in S412, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B refers to the outlook prediction probability determination table 270B stored in the ROM, and extracts and determines the prediction probability display corresponding to the achievement prediction probability determination random number acquired in S401. , The process proceeds to S413.

FIG. 20A is a schematic diagram showing the contents of the hit prediction probability determination table 270A and the outlook prediction probability determination table 270B. As shown in the figure, in the forecast forecast probability determination table 270A and the forecast forecast probability determination table 270B, forecast probability displays (10% to 99%) corresponding to the forecast probability determination random numbers from 0 to 19 are displayed. It is defined with a predetermined selectivity.
As is clear from the selection rate item in the figure, when the winning prediction probability determination table 270A is referred to, a relatively high numerical value of the prediction probability is displayed when compared with the case of the outlook prediction probability determination table 270B. The prediction probability display of “77%” and “99%” is specified only in the winning prediction probability determination table 270A.
That is, the prediction probability displays of “77%” and “99%” are positioned as displays that indicate that the result is “hit”, in other words, that the big hit is confirmed. The forecast probability display extracted and determined from each table is displayed as a numerical value of the area E1 in the mission achievement forecast display described above.
In other words, if the success / failure result is “winning”, the mission achievement forecast display that can be notified (high probability of forecasting) can be preferentially selected to indicate that the degree of expectation of mission achievement is high. Is preferentially selected for the mission achievement forecast display that can be notified that the degree of expectation of mission achievement is low (the forecast probability is low).

In step S411, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B refers to the hit character determination table 275A stored in the ROM, extracts and determines a prediction character corresponding to the prediction character determination random number acquired in step S401, and proceeds to step S414. .
On the other hand, in step S413, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B refers to the outlier character determination table 275B stored in the ROM, extracts and determines a prediction character corresponding to the prediction character determination random number acquired in step S401, and proceeds to step S414. Transition.

FIG. 20B is a schematic diagram showing the contents of the hit character determination table 275A and the detachment character determination table 275B. As shown in the figure, in the hit character determination table 275A and the off character determination table 275B, a prediction character corresponding to the random number for prediction character determination is defined with a predetermined selection rate.
More specifically, the character “Rio” or “Himawari” is defined in the hit character determination table 275A at a ratio of 50% with respect to the predicted character determination random number. On the other hand, the character “Rio” is defined for all of the predicted character determination random numbers in the detachment character determination table 275B.
That is, the character “sunflower” is positioned as a display that suggests that the result is “hit”, in other words, that the big hit has been confirmed. The characters extracted and determined from each table are displayed in the area E1 in the mission achievement forecast display described above. As described above, the presence / absence of the mission achievement forecast display, the display timing, and the display mode are determined by the processing of S406 to S413.

In step S414, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B includes the mission achievement notification display command including the achievement mission information (mission No.) included in the achievement / forecast notification execution command and the information related to the achievement notification time extracted and determined in S405, and the achievement. , Mission achievement including mission information (mission No.) included in the forecast notification execution command, information related to the forecasted achievement time extracted and determined in S408, forecast probability display and information related to characters extracted and determined in S410 to S413 Each of the forecast display commands is generated and transmitted to the effect display device 300, and one process is completed.
Then, on the side of the effect display device 300 that has received either the mission achievement notification display command and the mission achievement forecast display command transmitted from the effect control unit 210 side or these commands, the mission achievement notification including the mission information achieved. Any one of the display and the mission achievement forecast display or these displays is displayed on the display screen 300A in a predetermined manner at a predetermined time. The mission achievement notification display and the mission achievement forecast display are deleted, for example, after 2 seconds from the start of display.

  Next, still another embodiment of the pachinko machine 1 will be described. In each of the above-described embodiments, the target of the mission achievement notification display is a specific mission (mission No. 1 to No. 6), in other words, the appearance of a specific performance pattern (notice pattern, reach pattern) as an achievement condition and acquisition of a jackpot Only when both of the missions have been achieved, the mission achievement notification display is made in advance to notify that the mission has been achieved, but in addition to this, other (normal) missions (mission No. 95 to No. 99) In other words, the mission completion notification display may be performed based on the fact that only the number of appearances of a specific performance pattern (notice pattern, reach pattern) has achieved a mission defined as an achievement condition.

  Specifically, the mission achievement determination unit 260A of the mission management unit 260 includes the contents of the above-described normal missions (in this example, mission No. 95 to No. 99) stored in advance in the mission storage unit 260B (threshold number of appearance patterns). ) And the number of appearances of each effect pattern counted by the effect pattern counting unit 260C are checked to determine whether the mission can be achieved. Then, when it is determined that a normal mission (mission No. 95 to No. 99) will be achieved as a result of the determination, an achievement notification execution command is transmitted to the aforementioned mission achievement notification means 210B, A mission completion notification process by the achievement notification unit 210B is executed.

The effect pattern count unit 260C is composed of a plurality of counters provided for each reach pattern or notice pattern that is a target of a normal mission, and based on a variation command transmitted from the main control device 100, the effect pattern determination means 210A A counter corresponding to each determined reach pattern and notice pattern is added, and the number of appearances is stored.
Then, when the number of appearances of the effect pattern counted by the effect pattern counting unit 260C matches the contents of the normal mission (threshold value for the number of appearances of the effect pattern), an achievement notification execution command is sent to the mission achievement notification means 210B. Is transmitted, and the mission completion notification process by the mission completion notification means 210B is executed.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing the flow of the mission achievement notification process of the mission achievement notification means 210B in the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B determines in S500 whether an achievement notification execution command has been received. If YES, the process proceeds to S501, and if NO, the determination is repeatedly executed. In the following description, the description of the same configuration as that described above is omitted.

  In step S501, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B generates an achievement notification presence / absence determination random number and an achievement notification timing determination random number in response to the reception of the achievement notification execution command. Obtained from the notification time determination random number generation means, and the process proceeds to S502. The achievement notification presence / absence determination random number generation means and the achievement notification timing determination random number generation means are as described above.

  In S502, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B extracts and determines the presence / absence of notification by referring to the achievement notification presence / absence determination random number acquired in S501 and the achievement notification presence / absence determination table (not shown), and proceeds to S503.

  In S503, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B determines whether the lottery result in S502 is “notification present”. If YES, the process proceeds to S504, and if NO, one process is terminated. In S504, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B extracts and determines the notification time (mission achievement notification display time) with reference to the achievement notification time determination random number acquired in S501 and the achievement notification time determination table (not shown). Then, the process proceeds to S505.

  In S505, the mission achievement notifying unit 210B generates an achievement notification display command including the achievement mission information (mission No.) included in the achievement notification execution command and the information related to the notification time extracted and determined in S504, thereby producing an effect display device. The data is transmitted to the 300 side, and one process is completed. Here, in addition to the above information, the achievement notification command includes information on the “color” of the character “achievement” (MISSION COMPLETE) included in the mission completion notification display. Information about the color is generated based on information related to the result of success / failure included in the achievement notification execution command. Specifically, when the result is “winning”, information on “color” is generated so that the letter “achieved” (MISSITION COMPLETE) is displayed in “red”, and the result is “out”. In the case of, information on “color” is generated so that the character “achievement” (MISSION COMPLETE) is displayed in “blue”.

  By executing such processing, the mission achievement notification display that informs that a normal mission that does not originally include the jackpot acquisition is not achieved is changed to a display with a sense of expectation for the jackpot. Therefore, even if the mission achievement notification display including the display area R2 in which the mission numbers (mission No. 95 to No. 100) that are not directly connected to the jackpot acquisition are displayed, the disappointment of the player can be suppressed. At the same time, it is possible to increase the expectation for winning the jackpot. Note that it is more preferable that the process for generating information on “color” is determined by random lottery using random numbers or lottery with a difference in the selection rate depending on the result of the determination.

Next, the basic flow of effect display developed on the display screen 300A of the effect display device 300 in the above-described embodiments will be outlined.
FIG. 22 is a time chart showing the flow of effect display in the first embodiment.
In the example of the figure, the success / failure result is “win”, the variation time of the production symbol S (special symbol) is “45 seconds”, the reach pattern is “VS Lina Reach”, and the mission achievement notification display time is “when reach is established”. An example is given.

As shown in the figure, when the effect symbol S starts to change upon receipt of the change command, two effect symbols S out of the three effect symbols S are 8 seconds after the start of the change (in the figure, “7”). ) Is stopped and a reach is formed. Immediately after the formation of the reach, the mission completion notification display is displayed (cut-in) for 2 seconds on the display screen 300A and then deleted. Then, a reach effect display indicating that it will develop to “VS Lena Reach” 12 seconds after the start of the change is executed, and after that, during the period from the start of change of the effect symbol S to 45 seconds, images unique to “VS Lena Reach” Reach production by video will be developed.
At the end of the reach production, the remaining production symbols S excluding the two production symbols S forming the reach are stopped and displayed by the same numbers as the two production symbols S forming the reach. Are all displayed with the same number, so that the success / failure result is “hit”, that is, a big win is derived and displayed to the player.

  In the above example, immediately after reach formation, before the start of “VS Lina Reach”, the content of “Big Win with VS Lina Reach”, that is, a mission achievement including a display indicating that the result of the lottery is a win. Since the notification display is cut-in, it is possible for the player to recognize in advance that a big hit has been won without seeing the stop mode of the effect symbol S at the end of the “VS Lina Reach”. In this example, the character “achievement” (MISSION COMPLETE) is displayed in, for example, “golden”.

FIG. 23 is a time chart showing the flow of effect display in the second embodiment. In the example of the figure, the success / failure result is “winning”, the variation time of the production symbol S (special symbol) is “45 seconds”, the notice pattern is “notice pattern F”, the reach pattern is “VS Lina Reach”, and the mission completion notification display An example is shown in which the time of “reach is established”, the mission achievement forecast display time is “at the start of change”, the forecast probability is “77%”, and the forecast character is “Rio”.
In the present example, the illustrations after the reach effect display related to “VS Lina Reach” are not shown.

  As shown in the figure, when the production symbol S starts to change upon receipt of the change command, the mission achievement forecast display is displayed (cut-in) for 2 seconds immediately after that, and then deleted. Thereafter, 8 seconds after the start of fluctuation, among the three effect symbols S, the same number (“7” in the figure) of the two effect symbols S is stopped and displayed, and a reach is formed. Immediately after the formation of the reach, the mission completion notification display is displayed (cut-in) for 2 seconds on the display screen 300A, and then erased. Then, a reach effect display indicating that it will develop to “VS Lena Reach” 12 seconds after the start of the change is executed, and after that, during the period from the start of change of the effect symbol S to 45 seconds, images unique to “VS Lena Reach” Reach production by video will be developed. At the end of the reach production, the remaining production symbols S excluding the two production symbols S forming the reach are stopped and displayed by the same numbers as the two production symbols S forming the reach. Are all displayed with the same number, so that the success / failure result is “hit”, that is, a big win is derived and displayed to the player.

  In the above, since the mission achievement forecast display with the prediction probability of “77%” is displayed before the mission achievement notification display is displayed, the player who has visually recognized this is likely to be “VS Lina Reach”. You can get a sense of hope that it will develop and you may be able to win a jackpot at that end.

FIG. 24 is a time chart showing the flow of effect display in the third embodiment. In the example shown in the figure, the result of success / failure is “off”, the variation time of the production symbol S (special symbol) is “45 seconds”, the notice pattern is “notice pattern E”, the reach pattern is “reach pattern G”, and the mission completion notification. An example in which the display time is “when reach is established” is shown.
Also in this example, the illustrations after the reach effect display related to the “reach pattern G” are not shown. As shown in the figure, when the effect symbol S starts to change upon receipt of the change command, two effect symbols S out of the three effect symbols S are 8 seconds after the start of the change (in the figure, “7”). ) Is stopped and a reach is formed. Immediately after the formation of the reach, the mission completion notification display is displayed (cut-in) for 2 seconds on the display screen 300A and then deleted. Then, a predetermined reach effect display that suggests that it will develop into a “reach pattern G” 12 seconds after the start of the change is executed, and thereafter the “reach pattern G” is displayed between the start of the change of the effect symbol S and the 45th second. Reach production with unique images and videos will be developed. At the end of the reach production, the remaining production symbols S excluding the two production symbols S forming the reach are stopped and displayed by numbers different from the two production symbols S forming the reach. When all are stopped and displayed in a mode other than the same number, it is derived and displayed to the player that the result is “out”.

In the above example, immediately after reach formation, before “reach pattern G” is started, the content “reach pattern G appears once”, that is, mission achievement notification indicating that mission No. 95 as a normal mission has been achieved. Is cut in, the player can recognize that mission No. 95 has been achieved.
In addition, the character “achievement” (MISSION COMPLETE) in this example is displayed in “blue” because the result of the lottery determination is “out”. On the other hand, when the result of the winning / failing lottery is “winning”, it is displayed in “red” or “golden”, thereby notifying the achievement of the mission and notifying the degree of expectation for winning the big hit.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated through embodiment, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment. In particular, in the above-described embodiment, on the condition that a specific mission is set in advance in the pachinko machine 1 and the server 700 and the hit-WIN 600 is used, in other words, the customization arbitrarily set by the player on the server 700 The mission achievement notification display or mission achievement prediction display is displayed on condition that the information is read. However, for example, the mission is set only for the pachinko machine 1, and the mission completion notification display or A mission achievement forecast display may be displayed.
On the other hand, if the configuration is such that the mission achievement notification display or the mission achievement prediction display is displayed on the condition that the hit-WIN 600 is used, the mission completion notification display or the mission achievement prediction display is limited to the time when the hit-WIN 600 is used. Since it can be used as an effect display, the use of the hit-WIN 600 can be promoted.
