Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine executing an unprecedented performance by operating a performance button.SOLUTION: When a point 1 is filled with points accumulated by a button performance, it becomes possible to accumulate points in a point 2. The button performance is further executed and, when a player presses a performance button in a state of Figure (a), points in the point 2 increase to expand a white part to a degree of Figure (d). When the point 2 increases, accordingly, reliability of a duel ready-to-win state rises. In this manner, after the point 1 is filled, points can be stored in the point 2, so that, even after the point 1 is filled, a player can enjoy the game. Further, when the point 2 increases, the reliability of getting a jackpot from the dual ready-to-win state rises. Consequently, the operation of the performance button is not a simple performance but a method from which the player can get meaningful information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 26

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine that notifies a player of the result of the determination of success / failure based on the symbol that has been displayed in a variable manner for a predetermined time, and in particular, there are a plurality of the predetermined times, and the effect of the variable display The present invention relates to a gaming machine in which different effects are executed according to the predetermined time.

  In a conventional pachinko machine (also called a pachinko machine or a game machine), the success or failure is determined by a random value extracted when a game ball enters the start opening, and if it is won, a big hit game that is advantageous to the player Is executed. The determination result is notified to the player by causing the special symbol to fluctuate for a predetermined time and then confirming and displaying the winning symbol or the lost symbol. In general, special symbols are often displayed on a 7-segment display device or the like, and the special symbols themselves are often abstract figures. Therefore, in order to produce a special symbol variation and confirmation display, the pseudo symbol is synchronized with the special symbol and the variation symbol is displayed in a fixed manner, thereby informing the player of the result of the success / failure determination. In addition, in recent gaming machines, there is a production button that can be operated by the player, and the player can change the display contents of the production by operating the production button, and the player feels that he is participating in the game. (For example, Patent Document 1). Actually, since the lottery result is already determined, the lottery result does not change depending on whether or not the production button is operated.

JP-A-2015-208570

  By the way, such a production button is implemented at various timings in recent years, and the frequency is high. For this reason, it is often used even when it seems that it is not hot almost foresight, and may give the player a sense of feeling. Also, even if it was operated, it wasn't particularly interesting just by pressing it for the time being.

  This invention is made in view of the subject which concerns, and it aims at providing the gaming machine which performs the production which is not until now by operating a production button.

  The invention according to claim 1 made in view of the above problems is a gaming machine that extracts a plurality of random numbers due to winning at the start opening, and at least determines whether or not it is correct and determines the variation time of the symbols based on the random numbers. In this case, the success / failure determination means for executing the determination of success / failure, the jackpot generation means for shifting to a special gaming state that is advantageous for the player if the result of the success / failure determination means is successful, and the result of the determination of success / failure for the fluctuation time. In the meantime, after changing the symbol, the winning / notifying means for notifying the player of the result of the determination of success / failure by confirming and displaying the symbol as a winning symbol or a lost symbol, and an operating means operable by the player, An effect execution means for performing the change effect corresponding to the change time at least on the screen of the image display device, and an effective period during which the operation means is currently active during the execution of the change effect. An effective period display means for displaying on the image display device, a point giving means for giving the player a first point in accordance with the timing of operating the operating means in the effective period, and the point giving means And a special effect switching means for switching the effect of a predetermined variation time to a special effect on condition that the accumulated value of the first point that has been reached has reached a predetermined value. To do.

  Here, “at least determination of success / failure and determination of symbol variation time based on the random number” are not limited to meaning “determination of success / failure and determination of symbol variation time” based on one random number. . The determination is made using one of a plurality of random numbers, and the variation time of the symbol is determined using one of the other random numbers (if there is only one other random number, that random number). This aspect is also included. Since the symbol variation time is determined based on a random number, there are a plurality of variations, and there are a plurality of variation effects corresponding to the symbol variation times. In addition, it is desirable that “the operation of the operation unit is effective” that part of the variation time is effective, but the operation unit may be effective over the entire variation time. The accumulated value of the first point may be accumulated as long as the gaming machine is activated, or may be set to 0 at some occasion (the same is true of the accumulated value of the second point in claim 2). Further, the effective period may be integrated with the effect of fluctuation. In other words, some of the effects of fluctuation include those with an effective period and those without an effective period. When the former is performed, the effective period display means that the present period is the effective period. It may be configured to be displayed on the device. In addition, “the production value of the first point is changed to a special production on the condition that the accumulated value of the first point has reached a predetermined value” means that the accumulated value of the first point is When reaching a predetermined value (hereinafter, also referred to as “predetermined value”), it is not limited to the fact that the effect of the predetermined variation time is always switched to a special effect. For example, the configuration may be such that the accumulated value of the first point reaches a predetermined value and is switched to a special effect with a predetermined probability. In addition, the switching timing may be immediately after the accumulated value of the first point reaches a predetermined value, or may be immediately before execution of an effect of a predetermined fluctuation time, or may be a timing between these two.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, when the point grant means is in a state where the first point has reached the predetermined value, the valid period The second point is given to the player according to the timing at which the operating means is operated, and the reliability of whether or not the special performance is appropriate changes according to the accumulated value of the second point. To do.

  Here, “the reliability of the success or failure of the special effect” refers to the probability that when the special effect is executed, the symbol that is changing is confirmed and displayed as a winning symbol. For example, when the accumulated value of the second point is 0 to 10, the reliability is 10%, and when the accumulated value is 11 to 20, the reliability is 30% and the accumulated value is 21 to 40. In the case of, it means that the reliability changes to 50% or the like. Note that. Such a method of changing other than increasing the reliability as the accumulated value of the second point increases may be used.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the first aspect, when the point grant means is in a state in which the first point has reached the predetermined value, the valid period The second point is given to the player according to the timing at which the operating means is operated, and is displayed on the image display device according to at least a part of the effect and is regarded as a player of the gaming machine It is characterized by comprising: a character; character growth means for growing the character in accordance with the second point; and privilege granting means for giving a different privilege according to the growth of the character.

  Here, the character is “like a player of the gaming machine”, but is not limited to humans or human-like ones (robots, fairies, aliens, etc.), but animals, plants, vehicles, missiles, and other machines , The sun, mountains, or anthropomorphic ones. “Character growth” means that a child character becomes an adult, the value of parameters (level, experience value, hit points, charisma, physical strength, pseudo-monetary amount, etc.) that the character has increases, etc. Is mentioned. As a privilege given according to the growth of the character, the character's clothes become gorgeous, the character's equipment becomes stronger, the number of fellow characters increases, and the like.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, a point-up zone is set in a part of the valid period, and the point granting means includes: When the operating means is operated in the point-up zone, the first point is given according to the remaining time of the effective period when the operating means is operated in the effective period. The first point is more than the first point corresponding to the remaining time.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the variation time during which the predetermined variation time is produced, and the first point is set in advance. When it does not reach a predetermined value, it comprises effective period generating means that may generate the effective period, and the point granting means includes the operating means during the effective period generated by the effective period generating means. When is operated, the first point is made to reach the predetermined value.

  According to a sixth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, at least the random number used for the determination of the success / failure is determined by the success / failure notification means corresponding to the determination of the appropriateness / inappropriateness. A plurality of on-hold storage means capable of storing a plurality of times with the time of change to be performed, wherein the success / failure determination means refers to the random numbers stored in the on-hold storage means in a predetermined order and is stored in the on-hold storage means; The prefetch reference means for referencing the variation time before referring to the success / failure determination means, and the point assigning means, wherein the variation time referenced by the prefetch reference means is an effect of the predetermined variation time. In the case of a variation time in which the first is performed, the first point is given in the variation performed before the variation.

  Here, the holding storage means may store a random number other than a random number used for determination of success / failure and a random number used for determining a variation time. In the configuration in which the determination of success / failure and the determination of the variation time are performed using one random number, a plurality of the single random number may be stored.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the first point is given by operating the operating means during the effective period, and the special effect is executed when the first point reaches a predetermined value. Become so. Therefore, it is possible to give meaning to operating the operation means even if the performance seems to be weak.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the second point can be accumulated after the first point reaches the predetermined value, the first point can be enjoyed even after reaching the predetermined value. Can do.
Moreover, since the reliability of special effects changes as the second point is accumulated, it is not useless to continue to accumulate the second point. In particular, when the reliability is increased as the second point is accumulated, operating the operation means is not a mere production but a method for the player to obtain meaningful information of the reliability. .

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, as in the second aspect, after the first point has reached the predetermined value, the second point can be stored, so that the first point has reached the predetermined value. Can also enjoy. And since a character can be made to grow by accumulating a 2nd point and a character grows, since a privilege is provided, it is not useless also to accumulate | store a 2nd point.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the first point is given according to the remaining time of the effective period, it is also possible to give interest to the timing of operating the operating means. Further, if the operating means is operated in the point-up zone, more first points are given, so that it is possible to give interest to operating the operating means aiming at the point-up zone.

  According to the present invention described in claim 5, even if the first point does not reach the predetermined value, the effective period generating means may generate the effective period, and the operating means is operated during the generated effective period. Then, the first point can suddenly reach a predetermined value. Therefore, if the operation means is operated, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that a special effect may be executed at any time, and it becomes even more fun to operate the operation means.

  The present invention described in claim 6 is provided with a holding storage means, and can be switched to the execution of a predetermined variation time in the holding storage (the execution of a special effect can be performed) before the hit determination means determines whether or not it is correct. The look-ahead reference means refers to whether or not there is an effect). And when there exists the production | presentation of predetermined | prescribed fluctuation | variation time, a point provision means will give a 1st point in the fluctuation | variation performed before this fluctuation | variation. Therefore, even if the present invention does not quote claim 5, the possibility that the first point reaches the predetermined value can be increased. In addition, when the player does not reach the predetermined value and the player sees the first point being added one after another, an expectation that a predetermined variation time will be produced, and thus a special gaming state Can raise the expectation for the occurrence of

  Next, a main routine executed by the main controller 80 of the pachinko machine 50 will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG. This main routine is started as a timer interrupt process with a period of 2 ms.

  In S10, it is determined whether or not the main routine is started by a normal timer interrupt. If the determination is affirmative (S10: yes), the process proceeds to S20, and if the determination is negative (S10: no), S15 is performed. The process is transferred to.

  In S15, the CPU and I / O are initialized, and the process proceeds to S80. On the other hand, if a positive determination is obtained in S10, the main controller 80 updates the initial value random number (S20), the big hit determination random number (S25), the big hit symbol determination random number update (S30), The hit determination random number is updated (S35), the reach determination random number is updated (S40), and the fluctuation pattern determination random number is updated (S45). The initial value random number update (S20) is an increment process that increments the initial value random number by 1 every time this process is executed. The initial value random number is incremented by 1 before the process is executed. When the random number before execution is “3199” which is the maximum value, it returns to “0” which is the first value in the next processing, and 3200 integers from “0” to “3199” are repeatedly generated in ascending order. . The big hit determination random number update (S25) is an increment process that increments by one each time the process is executed in the same way as the update of the initial value random number. When the maximum value is "3199", it is the first value in the next process. Returning to a certain “0”, 3200 integers from “0” to “3199” are repeatedly generated in ascending order. Note that the initial value of the jackpot determination random number is the value set in the initial value random number setting process. If this value is 250, the jackpot determination random number is updated as “250” “251” “252”... “3199” “0” “1”. The update of the random number for determining the variation pattern (S45) is configured as a counter that repeatedly creates 1021 integers from “0” to “1020”, and is incremented by +1 for each processing and is the first value when the maximum value is exceeded. Return to "0". Other random numbers are updated in substantially the same manner except for the number of different random numbers.

  Then, a winning confirmation process for detecting a winning of a game ball at a winning opening such as a starting opening (S50), a winning / not determining process for performing a big winning lottery due to winning at the starting opening (S55), and winning by a big winning lottery At this time, a big hit game process (S60) is performed for playing a big hit game that gives a predetermined game value to the player. In addition, a normal symbol determination process for performing a normal symbol lottery or the like due to the passage of the game ball through the normal symbol operating gate 12 (S65), and opening the normal electric accessory (second starting port 11) A general game process for performing a game (S67), a fraud monitoring process for detecting a player's fraud (S70), data and commands are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, etc. Each output process for transmitting information is performed (S75). In S80, the initial value random number is repeatedly updated until the next timer interrupt occurs and the main routine is started.

  Next, a start winning confirmation process for detecting a winning at the first and second starting ports 10 and 11 and performing a storage for holding according to the winning will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG. This process is configured as a subroutine called from the winning confirmation process executed from the main routine.

  In S100, the main controller 80 generates a winning game ball to the first start port 10 or the second start port 11 based on the detection signal of the first start port SW10a and the detection signal of the second start port SW11a. Determine if you did. If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), the process proceeds to S105. If the determination is negative (S100: no), the process ends.

  In S105, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the number of reserved memories for the special figure corresponding to the starting port where the winning has occurred is less than the maximum value (4 as an example). If the determination is affirmative (S105: yes), the process proceeds to S110. If the determination is negative (S105: no), the process ends.

  In S110, the main controller 80 determines a big hit determining random number used for the big hit lottery, a big hit symbol determining random number for determining a symbol (winning symbol) to be stopped and displayed when the big hit lottery is won, A random number for reach determination for determining whether or not to reach, a variation pattern determination random number for determining a variation time of a special symbol, and the like are extracted. And the extracted random number is memorize | stored as a pending | holding memory | storage about the special figure corresponding to the starting port which a prize produced, and a process is transferred to S115.

  In S115, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the newly generated jackpot determination random number related to the hold storage is a specific value (a value that is a hit in the big hit lottery), the reach determination random number related to the hold storage, and the like. Pre-reading determination is performed to determine whether or not the value is a specific value (a value that can be reached in the design effect). Then, a prefetch command indicating the result of the prefetch determination, the type of special figure (whether it is the first special figure or the second special figure) corresponding to the hold storage for which the prefetch judgment has been performed, and a variation pattern thereof is generated. Then, it is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (S120).

  Note that the sub integrated control device 83 that has received the prefetch command stores the prefetch determination result indicated by the prefetch command until the pending storage corresponding to the prefetch command is exhausted. In subsequent S125, the main control device 80 generates a hold number command indicating how many hold storages have occurred for the special figure corresponding to the newly generated hold storage, and transmits it to the sub integrated control device 83. This process ends.

  A single command indicating the number of reserved memories corresponding to each special figure and the result of the prefetch determination for the reserved memories may be generated, and the command may be used in place of the prefetch command or the pending number command. .

  Next, the success / failure determination process in which the big hit lottery is performed using the big hit determination random number related to the hold storage will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. This process is executed from the main routine. First, with reference to FIG. 7, in S200, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is operating, that is, whether or not the big hit game is being executed. If the determination is affirmative (S200: yes), the process ends. If the determination is negative (S200: no), the process proceeds to S205.

  In S205, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the first special figure or the second special figure is being displayed. If the determination is affirmative (S205: yes), the process proceeds to S285 in FIG. 9, and if the determination is negative (S205: no), the process proceeds to S210.

  In S210, main controller 80 determines whether or not the final display of the first special figure or the second special figure is being displayed. If the determination is affirmative (S210: yes), the process proceeds to S295 in FIG. 10, and if the determination is negative (S210: no), the process proceeds to S215 in FIG.

  Subsequently, with respect to FIG. 8, in S215, the main control device 80 determines whether or not there is the second reserved storage. If the determination is affirmative (S215: yes), the process proceeds to S220, and if the determination is negative (S215: no) shifts the processing to S225.

  In S220, main controller 80 decrements the number of second reserved memories, selects the oldest second reserved memory, and shifts the process to S235. In S225, main controller 80 determines whether or not there is the first reserved storage. If the determination is affirmative (S225: yes), the process proceeds to S230, and if the determination is negative (S225: no), the process is performed. Exit.

  In S230, main controller 80 decrements the number of first reserved memories, selects the oldest first reserved memory, and shifts the process to S235. In S235, main controller 80 determines whether or not the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state is 1, and in the case of an affirmative determination (S235: yes), the process proceeds to S240, and in the case of a negative determination ( In S235: no), the process proceeds to S245.

  In S240, main controller 80 determines whether or not to win the jackpot lottery based on the jackpot determination random number related to the selected hold storage and the determination table (probability change table) corresponding to the probability change state. Digest reserved memory. Then, the process proceeds to S250. The number of winning values stored in the success / failure determination table corresponding to the probability variation state is 50, and is 758 to 777, 1314-1333, and 1758 to 1767. That is, the hit probability is 1/64.

  On the other hand, in S245, the main controller 80 determines whether or not to win the jackpot lottery based on the jackpot determination random number related to the selected hold storage and the determination table (normal table) corresponding to the case where the probability variation state is not met. Determine and digest the reserved memory. Then, the process proceeds to S250. The number of winning values stored in the success / failure determination table corresponding to the case where the probability variation state does not appear is 10, 775 to 777, 1775 to 1777, and 2774 to 2777. That is, the hit probability is 1/320.

  In S250, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the big hit lottery has been won. If the determination is affirmative (S250: yes), the process proceeds to S255, and if the determination is negative (S250: no), S270. The process is transferred to.

  In S255, main controller 80 determines a winning symbol based on the jackpot symbol determining random number associated with the digested reserved memory. Then, the process proceeds to S260. In S260, main controller 80 determines the variation time of the special symbol based on the random number for determining the variation pattern related to the reserved storage that has been digested, and proceeds to S265.

  In S265, the main control device 80 sets the number of rounds of the big hit game, whether or not to enter the probable change state or the short time state after the big hit game, and shifts the process to S280. On the other hand, when the negative determination is obtained in S250, the main control device 80 shifts to the determination of the reach determination random number and the variation pattern related to the digestion of the reserved storage in S270. Based on the random number for use, the special symbol variation time and the like are determined, and the process proceeds to S275. It should be noted that, depending on the variation time of the special symbol, the mode of the symbol effect (whether it becomes reach or normal (the symbol effect that goes out without reaching)) in the case of being lost in the big win lottery is determined.

  In S275, the main controller 80 updates the counter indicating the remaining number of jackpot lotteries that can be executed during the probability change state (number of times of probability change) and the remaining number of jackpot lotteries that can be executed during the short-time state (number of times reduced). Then, the process proceeds to S280.

  In S280, the main controller 80 transmits a hold number command indicating the number of the first hold memory and the second hold memory after the big hit lottery to the sub integrated control device 83. In addition, the change display of the special symbol corresponding to the digested pending storage is started, and the change start command indicating the change time of the special symbol to the sub integrated control device 83 (in other words, the change time of the effect symbol) The symbol effect is started by transmitting (also called a variation command). Further, a symbol designating command for designating an effect symbol to be displayed in a stopped state is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (if it is a big hit, an effect symbol corresponding to the winning symbol determined in S255 is designated). This process is terminated.

  In other words, the symbol designating command indicates the result of the jackpot lottery, and if the jackpot is won, the type of jackpot (whether it involves a transition to a probability change state or a short-time state, how many rounds of the jackpot game are It is added that the command indicates whether it will be performed.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 9, in S285 that shifts during display of the fluctuation of the first special figure or the second special figure, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the fluctuation time of the special figure has elapsed, and in the case of a positive determination In (S285: yes), the process proceeds to S290, and in the case of a negative determination (S285: no), this process ends.

  In S290, the special symbol variation display is terminated, the special symbol fixed symbol is displayed, and a symbol finalizing command is transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83 to effect the final symbol display, and the process is terminated.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 10, in S295, during the special figure confirmation display, it is determined whether or not the duration of the special figure confirmation display has ended. If the determination is affirmative (S295: yes), the process proceeds to S300. If the determination is negative (S295: no), the process ends.

  In S300, the special figure confirmation display is terminated, and the process proceeds to S305. In S305, main controller 80 determines whether the special figure that has been confirmed and displayed is that of the big hit. If the determination is affirmative (S305: yes), the process proceeds to S315, and the determination is negative. In (S305: no), the process proceeds to S350.

  In S315, the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state is referred to. If the probability variation flag is 1, the probability variation flag is cleared (S320), and then the process proceeds to S325.

  In S325, the time reduction flag indicating the time reduction state is referred to. If the time reduction flag is 1, the time reduction flag is cleared (S330), and then the process proceeds to S335.

  Then, by sequentially executing the condition device operation start process (S335), the accessory continuous operation device operation start process (S340), and the big hit start effect process (S345), a command indicating the mode of the big hit game and the start of the big hit game Is sent to the sub integrated control device 83 to start the big hit game and the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, in S350 to which the process proceeds when a negative determination is obtained in S305, the probability variation flag is referred to, and when the flag is 1 (S350: yes), the remaining jackpot lottery that can be executed in the probability variation state Reference is made to the number of times (the number of probability variations) (S355). If the remaining number is 0 (S355: yes), the probability variation flag is cleared (S360), and the process proceeds to S365.

  In S365, the short time flag is referred to, and when the flag is 1 (S365: yes), the remaining number of jackpot lotteries that can be executed during the short time state (short time number) is referred to (S370). If the remaining number is 0 (S370: yes), the time reduction flag is cleared (S375), and the process proceeds to S380.

  In S380, a state designation command transmission process for sending a state designation command for notifying the current gaming state to the sub integrated control device 83 is executed, and this process is terminated.

  Next, the jackpot game process for controlling the progress of the jackpot game will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. This process is executed from the main routine. In S400, it is determined whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating, that is, whether or not the big hit game is being executed. If the determination is affirmative (S400: yes), the process proceeds to S405. If the determination is negative (S400: no), the process ends.

  In S405, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 14 is being opened. If the determination is affirmative (S405: yes), the process proceeds to S450 in FIG. 12, and if the determination is negative (S405: no). , The process proceeds to S410. In S410, it is determined whether or not each round is in the big hit game. If the determination is affirmative (S410: yes), the process proceeds to S470 in FIG. 12, and if the determination is negative (S410: no). Shifts the processing to S415.

  In S415, it is determined whether or not a big hit game is being ended. If the determination is affirmative (S415: yes), the process proceeds to S500 in FIG. 13, and if the determination is negative (S415: no), The process proceeds to S420. In S420, it is determined whether or not the start effect time in the jackpot game has elapsed. If the determination is affirmative (S420: yes), the process proceeds to S425, and if the determination is negative (S420: no), the process is performed. Exit.

  In S425, a special winning opening opening process for opening the special winning opening 14 is executed, and this process is terminated. Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 12, in S450 that proceeds while the special winning opening 14 is being opened, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the number of game balls won in the special winning opening 14 has become ten. If the determination is affirmative (S450: yes), the process proceeds to S460. If the determination is negative (S450: no), the process proceeds to S455.

  In S455, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the opening time of the special winning opening 14 has ended. If the determination is affirmative (S455: yes), the process proceeds to S460, and if the determination is negative (S455). : No) terminates the process.

  In S460, the main controller 80 executes a special winning opening closing process for closing the special winning opening 14, and proceeds to S465. In S465, main controller 80 executes a big hit interval process for setting an interval for each round of the big hit game, and ends this process.

  On the other hand, in S470 that shifts during the interval of each round, it is determined whether or not the interval time of jackpot game has elapsed. If the determination is affirmative (S470: yes), the process proceeds to S475, and the determination is negative. In (S470: no), this process ends.

  In S475, it is determined whether or not it is the final round of the big hit game. If the determination is affirmative (S475: yes), the process proceeds to S480, and if the determination is negative (S475: no), the process proceeds to S485. .

  In S480, a jackpot end effect process for performing an effect when the jackpot game is ended is executed, and the process ends. On the other hand, in S485, the main controller 80 executes a special winning opening opening process for opening the special winning opening 14, and ends this process.

  Subsequently, in FIG. 13, in S500 that is shifted during the big hit game end effect, it is determined whether or not the time of the end effect has ended. If the determination is affirmative (S500: yes), the process proceeds to S505. In the case of negative determination (S500: no), this process is terminated.

  In subsequent S505 and S510, the accessory continuous operation device and the condition device are stopped, and the process proceeds to S515. In S515, the main control device 80 determines whether or not to shift to the probability change state after the big hit game. If the determination is affirmative (S515: yes), the number of jackpot lotteries that can be executed in the probability change state (the number of probability changes). Is set (S520), the probability variation flag is set (S525), and the process proceeds to S530.

  In S530, it is determined whether or not to shift to the time-saving state after the big hit game. If the determination is affirmative (S530: yes), the number of jackpot lotteries (number of time reductions) that can be executed during the time-short state is set (S535). ), The time reduction flag is set (S540), and the process proceeds to S545.

  In S545 and S550, main controller 80 transmits to sub integrated control device 83 a process for transmitting a jackpot end command for ending the effect related to the jackpot game, and a state designation command for notifying the game state after the jackpot game ends. The state designation command transmission process to be executed is executed, and this process is terminated.

  Next, an overview of the prefetch determination signal reception process performed by the sub integrated control device 83 will be described with reference to FIG. When the prefetch determination signal reception process is started, it is determined whether or not a prefetch determination signal has been received (S800). If the determination is affirmative, it is determined whether or not the received prefetch determination signal is a variation pattern corresponding to the specific effect (S805). The specific effect refers to a duel reach described later and an effect performed instead of the duel reach. If the determination is affirmative (S805: yes), 1 is added to the specific effect flag in the subsequent S810, and the process proceeds to S815. The specific effect flag indicates the number of times that the specific effect is performed from the current time until the current reserved memory is completely consumed, and the initial value is zero.

  If negative determination is made in S805, the process goes straight to S815. In S815, it is determined whether or not a prefetch effect is performed. Thus, even if the main control device 80 transmits the prefetch determination signal, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the prefetch effect is actually performed. If an affirmative determination is made (S815: yes), a pre-reading effect is executed and the process is terminated (returned). If a negative determination is made (S815: no), the process is terminated as it is. As the pre-reading effect, the reserved symbol displayed on the effect symbol display device is changed in order to indicate the reserved memory number, or the sound is output from the speaker 30 in conjunction with the change. Since the relation is low, the explanation is omitted. Like the random numbers such as the jackpot determination random number extracted by the main control device 80, various random numbers are also extracted by the sub-integrated control device 83, and the determination in S815 is performed using these random numbers.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an outline of the effect determination process performed by the sub integrated control device 83. This process is started when the sub integrated control device 83 receives a special figure change start command from the main control device 80 (S830: yes). The special figure change start command is a command transmitted by main controller 80 in S280 (see FIG. 8) of the validity determination process. When the sub-integrated control device 83 receives the special figure change start command, an effect selection process is executed in S835. This is a process of selecting an effect actually executed by the effect symbol display device 6 or the like based on the variation pattern.

  FIG. 16 shows a part of effects selected in the effect selection process. FIG. 16A is a table showing an example of an effect selected in the case of winning, and FIG. 16B is a table showing an example of an effect selected in the case of losing. As shown in these figures, the variation pattern is different for each effect, so that the sub integrated control device 83 can select the effect to be executed according to the command indicating the variation pattern received from the main control device 80. . Therefore, the probability of occurrence in the right column of each table is the probability that the main control device 80 will transmit a command indicating a variation pattern. For example, in FIG. 16A, the occurrence probability of the long reach is 10%, which means that the probability that the main controller 80 transmits a command with a fluctuation pattern of 30 seconds in the case of winning is 10%. doing. Note that the probability of occurrence of the specific effect in FIG. 16A is 3.3% more accurately, and the probability of occurrence of the specific effect in FIG. 16B of 0.07% is more accurately 1/30. 1350.

  Returning to FIG. If an effect is selected in S835, it is determined in S840 whether the specific effect flag is positive. When the specific effect flag is positive, it means that the prefetch determination signal indicates that the specific effect is to be performed (except for those that have been determined to be wrong). If the determination is affirmative (S840: yes), the button effect setting process is executed in S845, the effect selected in S835 is started (S855), and the effect determining process is ended (returned). When negative determination is made in S840, the process proceeds to S850, and it is determined whether or not to execute the button effect. For this determination, a random number extracted by the sub integrated control device 83 is used. If a positive determination is made in S850, the process proceeds to S845, and if a negative determination (S850: no), the process proceeds directly to S855. That is, the button effect is unconditionally executed when the specific effect flag is positive, and it is determined whether or not the button effect is executed by lottery when the specific effect flag is not positive.

  FIG. 17 shows an outline of the button effect process which is a process of adding point 1 as the button effect setting process is executed. When this processing is started, first, a button effect start image is output to the effect symbol display device 6 in S880. An example of the start image is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 23A, when the start image is output to the effect symbol display device 6, an image instructing to press the effect button 32 is shown to the player. The effect button 32 shows a display (time bar 87) showing the effective time of the button effect, and the actual start image is displayed in a pure white state without the left gray part (reference numeral 87a). The Then, as time passes, the gray portion 87a spreads to the right, and when the effective time of button production (assumed to be 3 seconds) has elapsed, the entire time bar 87 becomes the gray portion 87. The rectangular part (reference numeral 86) displayed on the right part of the start image will be described later. The start image is displayed during the progress of the effect started in S855 (see FIG. 15), and the start image is not output prior to the effect. Therefore, in practice, the effect image is displayed as the background of the start image, but is omitted in FIG. 23A (the same applies to FIG. 26A described later). Further, when sound is output from the speaker 30 or the lamp 31 is lit as part of the effect, these are also performed together with the output of the start image. When the entire time bar 87 becomes a gray portion 87, the button effect image disappears, and only the effect started in S855 (see FIG. 15) proceeds.

  Returning to FIG. In subsequent S885, it is determined whether or not the effect button 32 has been pressed in response to the start image. If the determination is negative, that is, if the button has not been pressed, the process proceeds to S890, where it is determined whether the effective time of the button effect (3 seconds in the above example) has elapsed. If 3 seconds have not elapsed, the process returns to S885 and waits for the effect button 32 to be pressed. If the effect button 32 is pressed (S885: yes), the remaining time is calculated in S895. The remaining time is obtained by subtracting, from the effective time, the time from when the start image is displayed until the effect button 32 is pressed. For example, when the effect button 32 is pressed 2 seconds after the start image is displayed, the remaining time is 3-2 = 1 (seconds). This remaining time is converted into points in S900. Here, it is assumed that one point is converted per second. In subsequent S905, it is determined whether or not the effect button 32 has been pressed in the point-up zone. The point-up zone is a time zone set within the effective time of the button effect, and is displayed as a section 87c on the time bar 87 in the start image. When the effect button 32 is pressed while the end face 87d of the gray portion 87a is in the section 87c as shown in FIG. 23D, the effect button 32 is pressed in the point-up zone. Note that the position and width of the section 87c change each time the start image is displayed.

  If an affirmative determination is made in S905, the points are doubled in S910, and after the point addition process is executed in S930, the process proceeds to S935. If a negative determination is made in S905, the process proceeds directly to S935. Note that if the determination in S890 is affirmative, the process goes straight to S935. In S935, it is determined whether or not the effect started in S855 (see FIG. 15) is a specific effect. If it is a specific effect, the specific effect flag is subtracted in S940, and the process proceeds to S945. If S935 is negative, the process goes straight to S945. In S945, the display update process is executed, and when the point is reset in S950, the button effect process ends (returns).

  An outline of the point addition process is shown in FIG. When this processing is activated, it is determined in S960 whether or not point 1 is 100. Point 1 is a place where the points converted in S900 (see FIG. 17) or doubled in S910 are added first, and a rectangular white portion (indicated by reference numeral 86) indicated by reference numeral 86 in the start image. ) Shows the value of point 1. The maximum value of point 1 is 100, and when point 1 reaches 100, the rectangle 86 becomes pure white. The points after that are added to point 2. The value of point 2 is displayed on the start image as a pie chart as shown in FIG.

  Returning to FIG. When negative determination is made in S960, the process proceeds to S962, and it is determined whether or not the specific effect flag is positive. When a negative determination is made (S962: no), the process proceeds to S972, and points are added to point 1. In S974, it is determined whether or not the point 1 exceeds 100. If the determination is affirmative, the point 1 is set to 100 (S976), the amount exceeding 100 is set to the point 2 (S980), and the process ends (returns). . For example, when 2 is added as a point when the point 1 is 98.5, the point 1 is temporarily 100.5, but 0.5 exceeding 100 is set to the point 2, Point 1 is 100. If a negative determination is made in S974, the process is terminated as it is.

  If an affirmative determination is made in S962 (if the specific effect flag is positive), the flow proceeds to S964, and ½ of the points necessary to fill point 1 is full. In subsequent S966, it is determined whether or not A is greater than 10. If the determination is affirmative, A is added to point 1 in S968, and the process ends. For example, when the value of the current point 1 is 40, 30 that is 1/2 of 60, which is a point necessary to make the point 1 full, that is, 100 is A. Since this A is larger than 10, it is added to point 1 in S968, and point 1 becomes 70 at a stretch. If a negative determination is made in S966, point 1 is set to 100, that is, the tank is full in S970, and the process is terminated.

  If S960 is positively determined, that is, if the point 1 is 100, the process proceeds to S983, and it is determined whether the point 2 is 100 or not. If an affirmative decision is made, the process ends. If a negative determination is made in S983, the process proceeds to S986, and points are added to point 2. In the subsequent S990, it is determined whether or not the point 2 has exceeded 100. If the determination is affirmative, the value of the point 2 is set to 100 in S992, and if the determination is negative, the process ends. In other words, the maximum value of point 2 is 100, but nothing happens even if points are added beyond that. Moreover, when the specific effect flag is positive as in point 1, the value of point 2 does not increase at a stretch.

  The display update process of S945 is shown in FIG. When the display update process is activated, it is first determined whether or not the point 1 is 100 (S994). If a negative determination is made, the process proceeds to S996, where the value of point 1 is output to the effect symbol display device 6 in the area of the white portion occupying the rectangle, and the process is terminated (returned). When negative determination is made in S994, the process proceeds to S998, where the value of point 2 is converted into a pie chart and output to the effect symbol display device 6, and the process is terminated.

  The results of the button effect process, the point addition process, and the display update process are illustrated in FIGS. It is assumed that a button effect is performed and the player presses the effect button 32 in the state of FIG. In this state, the point 1 has accumulated up to nearly 50 points, and about 1 second has elapsed since the start image was displayed. Therefore, when the production button 32 is pressed, the white portion increases to the point 1 as shown in FIG. 23 (e) (the portion indicating the increase in the number 86c. Actually, the boundary between the portion 86b and the portion 86b that has been stored up to that point) Do not show). When the effect button 32 is pressed in the stage before FIG. 23A (for example, the time bar 87 is in the state of FIG. 23B), the portion 87b indicating the remaining time is increased, and the point 1 is, for example, FIG. ) The white part increases to the extent. Conversely, when the effect button 32 is pressed at a time later than FIG. 23A (for example, the time bar 87 is in the state of FIG. 23C), the portion 87b indicating the remaining time is small, so that the point 1 is, for example, FIG. (G) A white part increases only to the extent.

  When the effect button 32 is pressed in the point-up zone (for example, when the time bar 87 is in the state shown in FIG. 23D), the point is twice as much as the portion 87b indicating the remaining time. Are added, and point 1 is increased to, for example, about FIG. If the specific effect flag is positive (however, the effect being executed is not the specific effect), the remaining point 1 is halved by pressing the effect button 32 and increases to about FIG. 23 (h). To do. In addition, when S996 (refer FIG. 25) is performed through S968 and S970 (refer FIG. 24), it can be said that the point 1 increases greatly by pressing the effect button 32 is a kind of prefetch effect. Then, it shall not be treated as a look-ahead effect.

When the button effect is performed in a state where the point 1 is full, a screen illustrated in FIG. 26A is displayed. Instead of point 1 in FIG. 23A, point 2 is displayed as a pie chart on the right side of the screen (reference numeral 85). A display indicating that the point 1 is full may be displayed. In FIG. 26A as well, the time has passed for about 1 second since the start image was displayed, and the elapsed portion 87 a is displayed on the time bar 87. Further, unlike the one shown in FIG. 23, the time bar 87 in FIG. 26 has no point-up zone.
When the effect button 32 is pressed in the state of FIG. 26A, the point 2 has a white portion increasing to about FIG. 26D (a portion indicating the increase of the reference numeral 85c. Actually, the portion 85b that has been accumulated until then. The boundary between is not displayed). When the effect button 32 is pressed in the stage before FIG. 26A (for example, the time bar 87 is in the state of FIG. 26B), since there are many portions 85b indicating the remaining time, the point 2 is, for example, FIG. ) The white part increases to the extent. On the other hand, when the effect button 32 is pressed at a time later than FIG. 26A (for example, the time bar 87 is in the state shown in FIG. 26C), the portion 87b indicating the remaining time is small. (F) The white part increases only to the extent.

  FIG. 27 shows an outline of the effect symbol stop process executed by the sub integrated control device 83. This process is started when the sub integrated control device 83 receives a symbol stop command from the main control device 80 (S870: yes). The symbol stop command is a command transmitted by main controller 80 in S290 (see FIG. 9) of the validity determination process. When the sub integrated control device 83 receives the symbol stop command, the effect symbol confirmation display process is executed (S873), and it is determined whether or not the effect performed during the change is the specific effect (S876). If the determination is affirmative, point 1 and point 2 are set to zero, and the process is terminated (returned). If point 2 is zero in S879, only point 1 may be set to zero. If S876 is negative, the process is terminated.

  When point 1 is full, there is a possibility that duel reach, which is one of the specific performances, will be performed. The specific effect will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the specific effect shown in FIG. 28 is fighter reach, and an enemy aircraft flying in the front direction as an effect image and the own aircraft chasing it are displayed at the back of the screen (FIG. 28A). When the player presses the effect button 32, a missile is fired (FIG. 28 (b)), and when an enemy aircraft is shot down (FIG. 28 (c)), a big hit is obtained (FIG. 28 (e)). On the other hand, if the lottery result is a loss, the enemy aircraft misses the missile (FIG. 28 (d)), and the effect symbol is confirmed and displayed in the loss arrangement (FIG. 28 (f)). Note that the image of FIG. 28F is output by the processing of S875 (the same applies to the image of FIG. 29F and the image of FIG. 30F described later). If the effect button 32 is not pressed within the effective time of the effect, the missile is automatically launched. In addition, the value of the point 2 is shown by the pie chart 85 at the lower right of the image in the specific effect as well as the fighter reach. FIG. 28 shows that 50 points 2 out of 100 are accumulated.

  The specific effect shown in FIG. 29 is duel reach, and in the duel reach, as shown in FIG. 29 (a), a boxer and a man in karate are first displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 as an effect image. A man wearing karate corresponds to a player (hereinafter, a man wearing karate is called his own character). When the player presses the effect button 32, if the player wins, the player character kicks the boxer (FIG. 29 (b)) and makes a big hit (FIG. 29 (d)). On the other hand, in the case of losing, conversely, punching is performed from the boxer (FIG. 29C), and the effect symbols are confirmed and displayed in the losing arrangement (FIG. 29E). If the effect button 32 is not pressed within the effective time of the effect, the process automatically shifts to FIG. 29 (b) or FIG. In FIG. 29, point 2 is stored up to 75 points.

  The specific effect shown in FIG. 30 is car reach. In the car reach, in the car reach, as shown in FIG. 30 (a), first, a car running on the road is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 as an effect image. This screen displays "Big hit if you avoid the rock!" The player rotates the jog dial 33 as appropriate to move the car to the left and right (FIG. 30 (b)), and if the lottery result is successful, the player succeeds in avoiding the rock (FIG. 29 (c)). (FIG. 30 (e)). On the other hand, when the lottery result is a loss, it comes into contact with the rock (FIG. 30 (d)), and the lost arrangement of effect symbols is displayed (FIG. 30 (f)). If the jog dial 33 is not operated within the effective time of the effect, the process automatically shifts to FIG. In the case of losing, the car goes straight without avoiding the rock and crashes into the rock, and the losing arrangement of the production symbols is displayed (FIG. 30 (f)). In FIG. 30, point 2 is accumulated up to 25 points.

  When the point 2 increases, the reliability of the specific effect (probability when the specific effect is executed) changes. This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 31A shows the distribution of a specific effect selected in the case of winning, and corresponds to the table shown as Attached Table 1 in FIG. FIG. 31B shows the distribution of specific effects selected in the case of a loss, and corresponds to the table shown as Attached Table 2 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 31A, in the case of winning, duel reach is selected at a rate of 90/100 regardless of the value of point 2, and both car reach and fighter reach are selected at a rate of 5/100. On the other hand, in the case of a loss, the selection ratio changes depending on the value of point 2. Specifically, when point 2 is 0 to 24, duel reach is selected at a rate of 1/2, and both car reach and fighter reach are selected at a rate of 1/4. When point 2 is 0 to 24, duel reach is selected at a rate of 1/2, and both car reach and fighter reach are selected at a rate of 1/4. When point 2 is 25 to 49, duel reach is selected at a rate of 1/5, and car reach and fighter reach are both selected at a rate of 2/5. When point 2 is 50 to 74, duel reach is selected at a rate of 1/9, and car reach and fighter reach are both selected at a rate of 4/9. When point 2 is 75 to 99, duel reach is selected at a ratio of 1/31, and both car reach and fighter reach are selected at a ratio of 15/30. When the point 2 is 100, the car reach and the fighter reach are both selected at a ratio of 1/2, and the duel reach is not selected. However, when the point 1 is less than 100, the distribution is as shown in FIG. That is, the car reach is selected at a rate of 1/3, the fighter reach is selected at a rate of 2/3, and the duel reach is not selected. In other words, duel reach is an effect that is only performed when point 1 is full. In FIG. 31 (c), “separate table” refers to FIGS. 31 (a) and 31 (b).

  When the selection ratio of the specific effects is changed according to the point 2, the reliability of each specific effect changes. In particular, duel reach will change. About 20% when point 2 is 0-24, about 39% when point 2 is 25-49, about 53% when point 2 is 50-74, about 80 when point 2 is 75-99 %, When point 2 is 100, it is 100%. As described above, the car reach and the fighter reach have the same selection ratio. When point 2 is 0 to 24, about 2.74%, when point 2 is 25 to 49, about 1.73% and point 2 Is about 1.56% when point 2 is 50 to 74, about 1.44% when point 2 is 75 to 99, and 1.39% when point 2 is 100.

  According to the gaming machine associated in this way, after the point 1 becomes full, the point 2 can be accumulated, so after the point 1 becomes full, the effect button 32 is pressed. Fun continues. In addition, the more points you earn, the more reliable your duel reach will be, so it's no use saving points 2 too. In addition, if the production button is pressed in the point-up zone, more points 1 are awarded, so that a game entertainment theme of “pressing the production button 32 aiming at the point-up zone” is also born. In addition, when there is a variation that becomes a specific effect during storage, the button effect is set by the process of S845, and a large amount of points are added by the process of S968 or S970, so that point 1 becomes full. The possibility can be increased. In addition, when the player sees this state, it is possible to increase a sense of expectation for a duel reach and an expectation for a big hit. Therefore, if the effect button 32 is pressed, it is possible to give a sense of expectation that a duel reach may occur, and it becomes more fun to press the effect button 32.

Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration of the present embodiment and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown. The first special symbol and the second special symbol correspond to the “symbol” of the present invention, the point 1 corresponds to the “first point” of the present invention, the point 2 corresponds to the “second point” of the present invention, The effect button 32 corresponds to the “operation means” of the present invention, the process of S250 corresponds to the “win / fail judgment means” of the present invention, the process of S290 corresponds to the “win / fail notification means” of the present invention, and the big hit game process Corresponds to the “big hit generating means” of the present invention, the processing of S835 and S840 corresponds to the “effect execution means” of the present invention, and the process of displaying the time bar 87 during the button effect processing is the “effective period” of the present invention. The point addition process corresponds to the “point granting means” of the present invention, the duel reach corresponds to the “special effect” of the present invention, and the effect symbol display device 6 corresponds to the “image display” of the present invention. Device "and used in S835 16 and FIG. 31 correspond to the “special effect display means” of the present invention, the processing from S845 to S850 corresponds to the “effective period generation means” of the present invention, and the processing of S110 corresponds to the “special effect display means” of the present invention. The process from S120, S125, and S800 to S805 corresponds to the “prefetch storage unit” of the present invention.
[Example 2]

  A second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Since this embodiment has much in common with the first embodiment, the differences will be mainly described. First, FIG. 32 shows an example of a button effect screen in the present embodiment. The difference from the screen shown in FIG. 23 is that the face 90 of the player character is displayed below the point 1, and the level (reference numeral 92) of the player character is displayed further to the left. The level increases by 1 when the point 1 reaches 100. At that time, as shown in FIG. 32B, “Level up!” Is displayed, and the face 90 becomes a smile. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 32 (c), the level increases (in this example, increases from 3 to 4), and the point 1 returns to 0. In this embodiment, point 2 does not exist. Although it is close to an image where a level exists instead of point 2, it is necessary to fill point 1 every time the level is increased by 1.

  Further, even if the level is increased, the reliability of the specific performance does not change, and the color of the karate garment worn by the player character changes as shown in FIG. That is, the belt color is white for levels 1 to 10, orange for levels 11 to 20, blue for levels 21 to 30, yellow for levels 31 to 40, red for levels 41 to 50, Levels 51 to 50 are green, levels 61 to 70 are brown, and levels 71 and above are black. The color of the belt is reflected in the production of your character, including duel reach, so that the color of the belt can be changed as one of the game goals.

  In the pachinko machine 50, it is possible to generate a two-dimensional code that can specify the raised level, the latest game history information, etc., and display it on the screen of the effect symbol display device. For this, first, the effect button 32 is pressed during the standby state (the state where the symbol effect or the reserved symbol display is not performed on the effect screen of the effect symbol display device 6). Then, the effect symbol control device 82 is controlled to display the selection screen 600 on the effect symbol display device 6 (see FIG. 35A). When “confirm history” is selected on the selection screen 600, the sub-integrated control device 83 controls the effect symbol control device 82 and displays the game end screen 602 on the effect symbol display device 6 (FIG. 35B). )reference). When the player takes a picture of the two-dimensional code with a mobile terminal with a camera such as a mobile phone or a smartphone, the server 150 can be accessed, and the level specified by the two-dimensional code, game history information, etc. are displayed on the website. Saved.

  The history screen 98 displays the game history information as character information that the player can read. The game history information includes a record of games played by the player today, effects produced in the game, and the like. These are generated by the sub integrated control device 83 based on various commands received from the main control device 80. According to FIG. 35B, in this game, the player changed the special symbol 861 times, pulled the jackpot three times, and notice A, notice F, and duel reach were performed. In addition, a rectangle 89 on the left of the history screen 88 indicates how much of the game history information currently displayed in the entire history acquired by the player. According to FIG. 35B, the rectangle 89 occupies about 1/3 of the length of the history screen 88 in the vertical direction and is located at the upper end, so about 1/3 of the entire history is about 1/3. It will be displayed. That is, this player has produced about three times as many effects as those displayed in FIG. 35B in today's game. In order to display the remaining 2/3 that is not displayed, the history screen 98 is scrolled by appropriately rotating the jog dial 33.

  In FIG. 35A, when the player selects “Clear history”, the history displayed in the history column 98 is cleared and the level acquired by the player in the gaming machine is cleared. Further, when “start the game from the next” is selected on the selection screen 600, the sub integrated control device 83 controls the effect symbol control device 82 and displays the password input screen 603 on the effect symbol display device 6 (FIG. 36 (d)).

  The password input screen 603 is a screen for inputting the password displayed on the mobile terminal. While the password input screen 603 is being displayed, the player can input the password in the input field 603a. Specifically, a character field 603b in which letters and numbers are displayed is displayed below the input field 603a. When the jog dial 33 is rotated clockwise, the cursor 603c in the character field 603b is changed from A → B →.・ → Y → Z → 0 → 1 → 2 → ・ ・ ・ → 9 → A (when the jog dial 33 is rotated counterclockwise, the cursor 603c moves in the reverse direction) and the effect button 32 is operated. The character on which the cursor 603c is positioned ("Z" in the case of FIG. 36D) is input and displayed on 603a. The sub integrated control device 83 collates the input password, and when the collation is successful (FIG. 36 (e)), it is possible to start a game reflecting the game history and level indicated by the password. When the game is started without selecting “Start the game from the next”, the game is played with the level being 1.

  An outline of the two-dimensional code generation process for displaying the two-dimensional code shown in FIG. 35B is shown in the flowchart of FIG. This process is periodically executed by the sub integrated control device 83 while the selection screen is displayed. In the two-dimensional code generation process, first, based on the operation signals from the effect button 32 and the jog dial 33, it is determined whether or not “confirm history”, which is one of the items displayed on the selection screen, is selected (S1000). ). If the determination is affirmative (S1000: yes), the process proceeds to S1010. If the determination is negative (S1000: no), the process ends.

  In S1010, two-dimensional code image data is generated based on the latest game history information stored in the RAM of the sub integrated control device 83, the current level, the player ID, date information, and the like. The ID is taken into the pachinko machine 50 through a password described later.

  The latest game history information indicates the game history at the time when this processing is executed, and is information that is displayed as in the history screen 98 of FIG. 35B in the processing of S1020 described later. . Note that only a part of the history information displayed on the history screen 98 may be two-dimensionally encoded, or conversely, history that is not displayed on the history screen 88 (for example, time-series data indicating the type of hits that occurred, The number of times when duel reach has occurred, the number of times notice A has occurred, etc.) may also be two-dimensionally coded.

  In the subsequent two-dimensional code display process (S1020), the effect symbol control device 82 is controlled, and the effect symbol display device 6 displays a game end screen on which the two-dimensional code based on the image data is displayed. When the two-dimensional code display process is executed, this process ends (returns). The sub integrated control device 83 may display the two-dimensional code using a dedicated display device or the like without being limited to the effect symbol display device 6.

  When the two-dimensional code displayed by the two-dimensional code display process (S1020) is photographed and recognized by the camera of the portable terminal, game history information included in the two-dimensional code, information such as the current level, etc. are stored in the portable terminal. Is taken in. Precisely, software for accessing the server 150 is installed in the portable terminal in advance, and the two-dimensional code can be photographed and recognized by starting the software. When the two-dimensional code is recognized, the server 150 is automatically accessed (the player ID and its password are registered in advance in the software), and information indicated by the two-dimensional code is transmitted to the server 150. The server 150 that has received the information stores the information in a storage area assigned to the corresponding ID. This means that information included in the two-dimensional code is saved in the server 150. Note that the access to the server 150 by the software may be performed before photographing the two-dimensional code. In other words, the configuration may be such that when the software is started, the server 150 is first accessed, and then the two-dimensional code is photographed and recognized.

  Next, a flowchart of FIG. 38 shows an outline of continuous game processing for accepting a password input from a player and resuming the game in a state where the total number of points is reproduced. This process is periodically executed by the sub-integrated control device 83 after the display of the selection screen is started and before the display of the effect screen is restarted.

  In S1100, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the password input screen is displayed (whether or not “start a game” which is one of the items displayed on the selection screen is selected). To do. If the determination is affirmative (S1100: yes), the process proceeds to S1110. If the determination is negative (S1100: no), the process ends.

  In S1110, based on the operation signals from the effect button 32 and the jog dial 33, the input of the password is accepted and it is determined whether or not the input of the password is completed. If the determination is affirmative (S1110: yes), the process proceeds to S1120. If the determination is negative (S1110: no), the process ends.

  In S1120, a password verification process for determining whether the input password is correct is executed, and the process proceeds to S1130. In S1130, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the password verification is successful. If the determination is affirmative (S1130: yes), the process proceeds to S1140, and if the determination is negative (S1130: no). Shifts the processing to S1160.

  In S1150, the effect symbol control device 82 is controlled to display on the effect symbol display device 6 that the password has been successfully verified, the game setting process in S1150 is executed, and this process is terminated. On the other hand, in S1160, the effect symbol control device 82 is controlled, an indication that an error has occurred in the password verification is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, and this process is terminated.

  According to the gaming machine configured as described above, although the point 2 cannot be accumulated to increase the duel reach reliability, the level of the player character can be increased. Since the privilege that the color of the belt changes as the level goes up is given, it becomes even more fun to press the effect button 32.

  Here, the correspondence between the configuration of the second embodiment and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown. The process of increasing the level of the player character when the point 1 is full corresponds to the “character growth means” of the present invention, and the process of changing the color of the belt according to the level of the player character is the “privilege providing means of the present invention. ”And the color of the band corresponds to the“ privilege ”of the present invention.

[Other embodiments]
In the above-described embodiment, the so-called digipachi type pachinko machine 50 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can also be applied to a so-called honeymoon type or a pachinko machine configured as a mixer. The present invention can also be applied to a sealed pachinko machine. The enclosed pachinko machine gives the player numerical data corresponding to the number of prize balls without paying out the game balls. In general, the game ball used for launching is configured to be repeatedly used by circulating in the game machine. The sub integrated control device 83 that controls the effect symbol display device 6 is also configured to control the speaker 30, various LEDs, and the lamp 31, but is configured as a plurality of sub control devices that individually control these. You may try again.

  In the first embodiment, the point-up zone does not exist after the point 1 becomes full. However, the point-up zone may be set even after the point 1 becomes full. Further, when the effect button 32 is pressed in the point-up zone, twice the point corresponding to the normal remaining time is given, but a value unrelated to the remaining time may be given. For example, if the remaining time of 1 second corresponds to one point, in the first embodiment, the maximum value of points given by one button production is 3 points, but when the production button 32 is pressed in the point up zone It can be considered that 5 points are given regardless of the position of the point-up zone. Moreover, you may comprise so that the point provided when the production button 32 is pushed in a point up zone may be determined with a random number from 5-10 points, for example. Also, the point-up zone changes in position and width each time the start image is displayed, but may be fixed. Further, when accumulating point 1, there may be a button effect in which no point up zone exists.

  Further, although the button effect is performed in addition to the variable effect (not added when not performed), the button effect may be integrated with the variable effect. For example, special training reach may or may not have a button effect (the variation pattern is the same), and when executing the special training reach, the former is performed when the button effect is performed, and the button effect is not performed. Can be configured to perform the former. In addition, points 1 and 2 are configured to be 0 when a specific effect is executed, but may be configured to be 0 even if a big hit occurs. In addition, when performing a specific production | presentation, if the production | production button 32 is pushed, you may make it the structure which the point 1 becomes full unconditionally. Further, when executing a specific effect, the point 1 may be full without pressing the effect button 32. Further, in the first embodiment, the point 1 is greatly increased only when the specific effect flag is positive, but the point 1 may be increased in a large amount regardless of the remaining time of the effective period. . Whether or not this event occurs can be determined by lottery using a random number extracted by the sub-integrated control device or by determining whether or not some game condition is satisfied. Further, in the first embodiment, when the determination of success / failure is a win and a specific performance is performed, the distribution for performing duel reach, fighter reach, and car reach is constant regardless of the value of point 2, As in the case, the distribution may be changed according to the value of point 2.

  You may comprise so that the effective period of button production may change every time. When the length of the time bar 32 is changed in accordance with the length of the effective period (for example, in proportion to the length of the effective period), the player can intuitively grasp the length of the effective period. As another method, it is conceivable to change the speed at which the gray portion 87a spreads to the right (slower when the effective period is long, and speed up when the effective period is short). Further, the effective period may be displayed by a number without using the time bar 32. In this case, the point-up zone may be eliminated, but it may be possible to notify the player that the point-up zone is present, for example, by changing the color of a number or causing the player to emit light. The accumulated points 1 and 2 may be displayed as numbers. There may be a button effect that does not add points. It is conceivable that when the effect button 32 is pressed in this button effect, the progress of the effect is changed, or a character appearing on the screen speaks.

In any of the above embodiments, the points are added by pressing the effect button 32. However, the points may be added when the jog dial 33 is turned. In this case, the jog dial 33 corresponds to the “operation means” of the present invention. In addition, there are two types of configurations corresponding to the operation means, and a configuration in which the reliability is high when the second operation means is used is higher than the case where the first operation means is used. Alternatively (or in addition), more values may be obtained for points based on the operation timing of the second operation means.
A configuration in which a third point exists as a point may be employed. The 3rd point can be stocked during the retreat due to a certain change or a short time, and when the 3rd point reaches a certain value, it is possible to execute a special effect during the big hit or the big hit. It is done. According to this configuration, for example, it is possible to execute special ending when the third point is Max and the probability change ends.

  Although point 2 could not be accumulated in the second embodiment, it may be configured to be able to accumulate. In the second embodiment, the reliability of duel reach may be increased according to the level of the player character. In this case, increasing the reliability of duel reach also corresponds to the “privilege” of the present invention.
