  An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The dimensions and scale of each part in the drawings are appropriately different from the dimensions and scale in the actual configuration. The embodiments described below include various technically suitable limitations. The scope of the present invention is not limited to the forms exemplified below.

[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a plan view illustrating the configuration of the game system 100A according to the first embodiment. The game system 100A is installed in an entertainment facility such as a game center or a casino, or a commercial facility such as a shopping center. The game system 100A used in the casino is also called a gaming machine.

  The player can play the game by the game system 100A by consuming the game value. The game value is, for example, a tangible medium such as a token coin (medal), a coin (money) or a ticket, or an intangible value such as a credit or a point. The intangible game value quantity is stored as data on a recording medium such as an IC card, for example. The player may select and consume either the tangible game value or the intangible game value. Game value consumption is also referred to as game value input.

  The game value is given to the player as a privilege (reward) according to the result of the game. That is, acquisition of a game value is one of the purposes of the game. Giving a game value is also referred to as paying out a game value. The game value consumed for playing the game and the game value given to the player as a privilege according to the result of the game may be the same or different. For example, a predetermined amount of credits (that is, the same type of game value) may be given to the player as a privilege, or a tangible game may be performed in accordance with a result of the player playing the game due to consumption of a credit which is an intangible game value. A token coin (ie, a different game value) that is a value may be given to the player as a privilege.

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, the game system 100A according to the first embodiment includes a lottery mechanism 10 and a plurality of stations 20. The lottery mechanism 10 is formed in a substantially circular shape in plan view from the vertical direction, and is used for a physical lottery using the lottery medium B. The lottery medium B is, for example, a three-dimensional object such as a sphere. The plurality of stations 20 are circumferentially arranged so as to surround the lottery mechanism 10. A player plays a game using each of the plurality of stations 20.

  The lottery mechanism 10 includes a physical lottery unit 11, a lottery field 12, and an input mechanism 13. The physical lottery unit 11 is a disk-shaped structure (roulette) rotatably supported. A plurality of (for example, 25) lottery holes H are formed in the physical lottery unit 11 at equal intervals along the circumferential direction. Each of the lottery holes H is a pocket into which the lottery medium B can enter. A different number is assigned to each of the plurality of lottery holes H. As illustrated in FIG. 1, in the vicinity of each lottery hole H, a number assigned to the lottery hole H is written. The physical lottery unit 11 of the first embodiment rotates by being driven by a drive mechanism (not shown) such as a motor. Note that the physical lottery unit 11 need not be rotated.

  The lottery field 12 is an annular plate-shaped member that surrounds the physical lottery unit 11 in a plan view from the vertical direction. The surface of the lottery field 12 is an inclined surface that descends from the outer peripheral edge to the inner peripheral edge (that is, the physical lottery unit 11 side). The loading mechanism 13 is installed near the outer peripheral edge of the lottery field 12 and sequentially loads the lottery medium B onto the surface of the lottery field 12. The lottery medium B input by the input mechanism 13 gradually approaches the physical lottery section 11 while rolling on the surface of the lottery field 12, and finally reaches one of the plurality of lottery holes H of the physical lottery section 11. To enter. Among the plurality of numbers, the number corresponding to the lottery hole H in which the lottery medium B has entered (hereinafter referred to as “winning number”) is the result of the lottery. That is, the physical lottery using the lottery mechanism 10 is an operation of randomly selecting any of N numbers corresponding to different lottery holes H.

  Each of the plurality of stations 20 is a device used by a player to play a game. As illustrated in FIG. 1, each station 20 includes a reception unit 21 used to input or pay out a game value. The receiving unit 21 is configured to include an insertion slot into which a tangible game value such as a token coin is inserted, and a payout port to release the tangible game value as a privilege. However, a reading circuit for reading an intangible game value such as a credit from a recording medium such as an IC card and a writing circuit for writing the intangible game value to a recording medium may be used as the reception unit 21. .

  As illustrated in FIG. 1, each of the plurality of stations 20 includes a display device 22 and an operation device 23. The display device 22 displays various images. For example, a flat display panel such as a liquid crystal display panel or an organic EL (ElectroLuminescence) display panel is suitably used as the display device 22. For example, a screen representing a game using the result of the physical lottery using the lottery mechanism 10 is displayed on the display device 22. The operation device 23 receives an operation by the player. The operation device 23 according to the first embodiment is a touch panel that is configured integrally with the display surface of the display device 22 and detects contact by a player. However, an operator operated by the player may be used as the operation device 23.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration of the game system 100A according to the first embodiment. As illustrated in FIG. 2, the game system 100A according to the first embodiment includes a management system 30. Each of the plurality of stations 20 is connected to the management system 30. In FIG. 2, only one station 20 is shown as a representative.

  The management system 30 is a computer system including a control device 31 and a storage device 32. The control device 31 is configured by a processing circuit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and controls the entire game system 100 including the lottery mechanism 10 and each station 20 as a whole. The storage device 32 stores a program executed by the control device 31 and various data used by the control device 31. For example, image data representing an image displayed by the display device 22 is stored in the storage device 32. For example, a known recording medium such as a semiconductor recording medium and a magnetic recording medium, or a combination of a plurality of types of recording media is arbitrarily adopted as the storage device 32.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2, the control device 31 functions as a lottery control unit 311 and a game control unit 312 by executing a program stored in the storage device 32. The lottery control unit 311 controls a physical lottery using the lottery mechanism 10. Specifically, the lottery control unit 311 executes, for example, a process of controlling the insertion of the lottery medium B by the input mechanism 13 and a process of specifying the lottery hole H into which the lottery medium B has entered from among the plurality of lottery holes H. I do. As understood from the above description, the lottery mechanism 10 and the lottery control unit 311 function as a lottery processing unit 35 that executes a lottery using the lottery medium B.

  The game control unit 312 controls a game (hereinafter, referred to as a “specific game”) using the result of the lottery by the lottery processing unit 35. Specifically, the game control unit 312 advances the specific game for each station 20 according to the result of the lottery by the lottery processing unit 35. The game control unit 312 according to the first embodiment causes the display device 22 of each station 20 to display an image representing a specific game (hereinafter, referred to as a “game screen”). Specifically, the game control unit 312 causes the display device 22 to display the game screen by outputting image data representing the game screen to the display device 22, and updates the game screen as needed in accordance with the progress of the specific game. I do. In the following description, one arbitrary station 20 will be focused for convenience. Note that the game control unit 312 may be individually installed in each of the plurality of stations 20.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating a game screen G of a specific game. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the specific game is a game using the first object row L1 and the second object row L2. The first object row L1 is an array of a plurality of objects Ob arranged along the first route R1. The second object row L2 is an array of a plurality of objects Ob arranged along the second route R2. The object Ob is a substantially rectangular image displayed on the display device 22. Each of the first route R1 and the second route R2 is a rectangular wave-like route in which a horizontal straight line and a vertical straight line are alternately connected. The specific game is a game that is generally intended to sequentially erase the objects Ob constituting each of the first object row L1 and the second object row L2 under a predetermined rule.

  Each object Ob of the first object row L1 moves along the first path R1 toward the end E1 of the first path R1. Similarly, each object Ob in the second object row L2 moves along the second path R2 toward the end E2 of the second path R2.

  As illustrated in FIG. 3, a stop position P and an effective area Q are set on the game screen G. The stop position P is an image arranged between the end E1 of the first route R1 and the end E2 of the second route R2. That is, the end E1 of the first path R1 and the end E2 of the second path R2 are located on opposite sides of the stop position P. Each object Ob in the first object row L1 moves on the first route R1 toward the end E1 until the first object Ob reaches the end E1. Each object Ob in the second object row L2 moves on the second route R2 toward the end E2 until the leading object Ob reaches the end E2. That is, each of the first object row L1 and the second object row L2 advances and stops until it reaches the stop position P. The display of the stop position P or the effective area Q may be omitted. The head object Ob of the first object row L1 is one object Ob closest to the end E1 of the first path R1 among the plurality of objects Ob of the first object row L1. Similarly, the first object Ob in the second object row L2 is one object Ob closest to the end E2 of the second path R2 among the plurality of objects Ob in the second object row L2.

  The effective area Q is a specific area in the game screen G. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the effective area Q of the first embodiment includes a part of the first route R1 and a part of the second route R2. Specifically, a portion of the first route R1 having a predetermined length including the end E1 and a portion of the second route R2 having a predetermined length including the end E2 are included in the effective region Q. In a state where the head object Ob is located at the end E1, a predetermined number of objects Ob from the head of the first object row L1 are located in the effective area Q. Similarly, when the head object Ob is located at the end E2, a predetermined number of objects Ob from the head in the second object row L2 are located in the effective area Q. The first embodiment exemplifies a case in which the first four objects Ob of the first object sequence L1 and the four first objects Ob of the second object sequence L2 are located in the effective area Q. . As described above, among the plurality of objects Ob forming the first object row L1, one or more objects Ob in the effective area Q and one or more objects Ob outside the effective area Q are displayed on the display device 22. Is displayed. The same applies to the second object row L2. The effective area Q is expressed as an area including a part of the first route R1 and a part of the second route R2, and one or more objects Ob of the first object row L1 and one of the second object rows L2. It is also expressed as an area including more than one object Ob.

  The objects Ob forming the first object row L1 and the second object row L2 are any of a plurality of types including a lottery object Ob1, a special object Ob2, and a privilege object Ob3. The significance of each object Ob will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 illustrates a state in which the plurality of objects Ob in the effective area Q change.

  The lottery object Ob1 is an element to which one of a plurality of numbers which are candidates for the lottery by the lottery processing unit 35 is assigned. The game control unit 312 changes one or more lottery objects Ob1 of the first object row L1 and the second object row L2 according to the result of the lottery by the lottery processing unit 35 to the special object Ob2 (hereinafter, “change processing”). "). Specifically, the change process is a process of changing the lottery object Ob1 to which the winning number determined by the lottery processing unit 35 is assigned to the special object Ob2. For example, when the winning number is “8”, as understood from the states A and B in FIG. 4, the lottery object Ob1 corresponding to the number “8” is changed to the special object Ob2. FIG. 4 shows an example in which the lottery object Ob1 in the effective area Q is changed to the special object Ob2. However, the lottery object Ob1 outside the effective area Q is similarly changed to the lottery object Ob1 corresponding to the winning number. Is changed to the special object Ob2. As can be understood from the above description, the special object Ob2 includes a special object Ob2 which has been primitive since the start of the specific game (hereinafter referred to as an “initial special object Ob2”) and a time at the start of the specific game. There is a special object Ob2 (hereinafter, referred to as a “changed special object Ob2”) that has changed in accordance with the result of the lottery from the lottery object Ob1 that existed in. Note that the initial special object Ob2 may be omitted.

  The special object Ob2 (the initial special object Ob2 and the changed special object Ob2) is an element for erasing the objects Ob forming the first object row L1 and the second object row L2. When two special objects Ob2 are present in the effective area Q as in state B in FIG. 4, the game control unit 312 determines the position between the two special objects Ob2 as in state C in FIG. A process of deleting the objects Ob (the lottery object Ob1 and the privilege object Ob3) (hereinafter, referred to as “deletion process”) is executed. In the erasing process of the first embodiment, as understood from the state C of FIG. 4, the two special objects Ob2 are also erased together with the object Ob between the two special objects Ob2 in the effective area Q. . The object Ob located outside the effective area Q and between the two special objects Ob2 is not deleted. That is, the effective area Q can be expressed as an area where the function of the special object Ob2 for erasing another object Ob is enabled.

  As can be understood from the state C in FIG. 4, as a result of erasing the object Ob by the erasing process, a space V is generated in the effective area Q. The space V is a region where the object Ob does not exist on each line of the first route R1 or the second route R2. When the space V is generated in the effective area Q as described above, the game control unit 312 performs a process of replenishing the space V with the object Ob (hereinafter, referred to as a “replenishment process”). The replenishment process of the first embodiment is a process of replenishing objects Ob in the space V by moving each object Ob of the first object row L1 or each object Ob of the second object row L2. Specifically, as illustrated as a state D in FIG. 4, each object Ob of the first object row L1 moves along the first path R1 such that the leading object Ob reaches the end E1, Each object Ob of the second object row L2 moves along the second route R2 such that the leading object Ob reaches the end E2. As understood from the above description, the range outside the effective area Q in the first route R1 and the second route R2 functions as an area (reservation area) for retaining the object Ob replenished in the effective area Q.

  In the state B of FIG. 4, the special object Ob2 (number "8") of the first object row L1 and the special object Ob2 (number "19") of the second object row L2 are located in the effective area Q. Was exemplified. As illustrated in FIG. 5, when two special objects Ob2 of the first object row L1 are located in the effective area Q (when the special object Ob2 of the second object row L2 does not exist in the effective area Q). Means that the two special objects Ob2 and the object Ob between them are deleted by a deletion process. That is, the plurality of objects Ob in the first object row L1 are deleted. The space V generated by the erasing process in FIG. 5 is supplemented by the movement of each object Ob in the first object row L1. In the example of FIG. 5, since the objects Ob in the second object row L2 are not deleted, the objects Ob in the second object row L2 do not move. Although FIG. 5 illustrates a case where the object Ob of the first object row L1 is deleted, the same applies to a case where two special objects Ob2 of the second object row L2 are located in the effective area Q. That is, the two special objects Ob2 of the second object row L2 and the object Ob between them are erased by the erase processing.

  Also, as illustrated in FIG. 6, when three or more special objects Ob2 exist in the effective area Q, the object Ob sandwiched between any two special objects Ob2 and the three or more special objects Ob2 Are erased by the erasing process. That is, a plurality of objects Ob from the leftmost special object Ob2 to the rightmost special object Ob2 in the effective area Q are deleted.

  FIG. 7 shows a state in which a plurality of objects Ob in the effective area Q have been erased by the erasing process, and FIG. 8 shows a state in which the objects Ob have been refilled in the effective area Q from the state of FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the number of objects Ob in the first object row L1 is reduced by erasing the object Ob in the effective area Q by the erasing process. Therefore, as understood from FIG. 8, the total length of the first object row L1 is reduced as a result of the supplement processing. As a result of the repetition of the erasing process and the replenishing process described above, all the objects Ob forming the first object column L1 may be deleted and the first object column L1 may be deleted. The same applies to the second object row L2. The number of objects Ob that have been erased from the first object column L1 are connected to the end of the first object column L1 so that the number of objects Ob forming the first object column L1 is kept constant. Good. The same applies to the second object row L2.

  The privilege object Ob3 in FIG. 3 is an object Ob representing a privilege given to the player. In each of the privilege objects Ob3, the number of game values provided as a privilege to the player is displayed. In each of the first object row L1 and the second object row L2, the bonus object Ob3 located rearward has a larger game value quantity. The game control unit 312 executes a process (hereinafter, referred to as “privilege process”) of giving a game value of a quantity corresponding to the privilege object Ob3 deleted by the deletion process to the player as a privilege. In addition, the quantity of the game value corresponding to each privilege object Ob3 is set arbitrarily. For example, a plurality of privilege objects Ob3 having different game value quantities may be randomly arranged.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a specific procedure of a process executed by the game control unit 312 in the first embodiment. 9 is started in parallel for each of the plurality of stations 20. When the processing in FIG. 9 is started, the game control unit 312 causes the display device 22 to display an initial game screen G (hereinafter, referred to as an “initial screen”) (Sa1).

  As illustrated in FIG. 3, on the initial screen, a first object row L1 composed of a predetermined number of objects Ob and a second object row L2 composed of a predetermined number of objects Ob are displayed. The arrangement (that is, combination and order) of the plurality of objects Ob configuring each of the first object row L1 and the second object row L2 is individually set for each station 20. Therefore, the progress of the specific game is different for each station 20.

  Each of the first object row L1 and the second object row L2 includes a lottery object Ob1, a special object Ob2, and a privilege object Ob3. That is, the first object row L1 and the second object row L2 include a plurality of special objects Ob2 (that is, initial special objects Ob2) at the start of the specific game. Therefore, it is possible to give the player a sense of expectation that a large number of objects Ob can be erased at the start of the specific game.

  Further, each of the first object row L1 and the second object row L2 on the initial screen includes a plurality of privilege objects Ob3. Although FIG. 3 illustrates the initial screen in which the privilege object Ob3 is arranged between any two special objects Ob2, the privilege object Ob3 is not necessarily arranged between the two special objects Ob2. Absent.

  One or more other objects Ob (lottery object Ob1 or privilege object Ob3) are interposed between the special objects Ob2 on the initial screen. That is, the initial special objects Ob2 are not adjacent to each other on the initial screen. Further, the lottery objects Ob1 corresponding to all the numbers that are candidates for the lottery by the lottery processing unit 35 are arranged on the initial screen. In the effective area Q of the initial screen in the first embodiment, only the lottery object Ob1 is arranged. According to the above configuration, the lottery object Ob1 in the effective area Q is changed to the special object Ob2 by the progress of the lottery by the lottery processing unit 35, and as a result, the object Ob in the effective area Q is likely to be erased. . Therefore, it is possible to give the player an expectation that a large number of objects Ob will be erased as the lottery progresses. Note that two or more lottery objects Ob1 corresponding to the common number may be arranged on the initial screen. Alternatively, only the lottery object Ob1 corresponding to some of the plurality of numbers may be arranged on the initial screen.

  When the initial screen is displayed on the display device 22, the lottery by the lottery processing unit 35 is started. That is, M lottery media B are sequentially input from the input mechanism 13, and each lottery medium B enters a different lottery hole H, so that M winning numbers are sequentially determined. The number M of the winning numbers determined in the specific game is a natural number smaller than the total number (for example, 25) of the numbers as the lottery candidates. The other lottery medium B cannot enter the lottery hole H into which one lottery medium B has entered during execution of the specific game. That is, in the specific game, each winning number is selected only once, and the winning number is not determined more than once.

  The game control unit 312 waits until one lottery number is determined in the lottery by the lottery processing unit 35 (Sa2: NO). When one winning number is determined (Sa2: YES), the game control unit 312 executes a process of advancing the specific game in accordance with the result of the lottery by the lottery processing unit 35 (hereinafter, referred to as “game process”). (Sa3). That is, the game process Sa3 is executed every time the winning number is determined (that is, for each lottery medium B).

  The game control unit 312 determines whether or not the game process Sa3 has been executed for the M winning numbers sequentially determined by the lottery processing unit 35 (Sa4). If the game process Sa3 has not been executed for the M winning numbers (Sa4: NO), the process proceeds to step Sa2, and waits for the lottery processing unit 35 to determine a new winning number. On the other hand, when the game process Sa3 has been executed for the M winning numbers (Sa4: YES), the game control unit 312 ends the specific game.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating a specific procedure of the game process Sa3 executed by the game control unit 312. When the game process Sa3 is started with the determination of the winning number (Sa2: YES), the game control unit 312 executes a change process (Sa31). That is, the game control unit 312 changes the lottery object Ob1 corresponding to the winning number among the first object row L1 and the second object row L2 to the special object Ob2. The lottery object Ob1 corresponding to the winning number may not exist in the game screen G.

  The game control unit 312 determines whether or not two or more special objects Ob2 exist in the effective area Q (Sa32). When it is determined that two or more special objects Ob2 do not exist in the effective area Q (Sa32: NO), the game control unit 312 ends the game processing Sa3 and shifts the processing to step Sa4 in FIG. That is, when the lottery object Ob1 corresponding to the winning number does not exist in the effective area Q, one game process Sa3 ends without executing the erasing process, the privilege process, and the replenishment process.

  On the other hand, when there are two or more special objects Ob2 in the effective area Q (Sa32: YES), the game control unit 312 executes an erasing process (Sa33). That is, the game control unit 312 deletes the object Ob located between the two special objects Ob2 in the effective area Q and the two special objects Ob2.

  The game control unit 312 executes a privilege process (Sa34-Sa37) according to the result of the erasing process. First, the game control unit 312 determines whether or not the privilege object Ob3 has been deleted by the deletion process (Sa34). When the privilege object Ob3 has been deleted (Sa34: YES), the game control unit 312 gives the player the amount of game value corresponding to the privilege object Ob3 as a privilege (Sa35). If the privilege object Ob3 is not included in the one or more objects Ob deleted by the deletion process (Sa34: NO), the addition of the game value (Sa35) is not performed.

  The game control unit 312 determines whether all the objects Ob in the first object row L1 or the second object row L2 have been deleted (Sa36). When the first object row L1 or the second object row L2 has disappeared (Sa36: YES), the game control unit 312 gives a predetermined amount of game value to the player as a privilege (Sa37). The quantity of the game value given in step Sa37 exceeds, for example, the maximum value of the quantity of the game value corresponding to the privilege object Ob3. When the first object row L1 or the second object row L2 has not disappeared (Sa36: NO), the addition of the game value (Sa37) is not executed. When both the first object row L1 and the second object row L2 have disappeared, the specific game is ended before the completion of the game process Sa3 for the M winning numbers.

  After executing the privilege process (Sa34-Sa37) described above, the game control unit 312 executes a supplement process (Sa38). That is, the game control unit 312 replenishes the objects Ob in the space V generated by the erasing process by moving each object Ob in the first object row L1 or each object Ob in the second object row L2. After executing the replenishment process, the game control unit 312 shifts the process to step Sa32, and determines whether or not two or more special objects Ob2 exist in the effective area Q.

  When the special object Ob2 moves from the outside to the inside of the effective area Q by the replenishment process, a state where two or more special objects Ob2 exist in the effective area Q may newly occur. For example, in a state D of FIG. 4 corresponding to a state immediately after the replenishment process, two special objects Ob2 are moved into the effective area Q by the replenishment process. When two or more special objects Ob2 are present in the effective area Q (Sa32: YES), the game control unit 312 performs the erasing process (Sa33) and the privilege process (Sa34-Sa37) in the same manner as immediately after the change process Sa31. And replenishment processing (Sa38). For example, as illustrated as a state E in FIG. 4, the object Ob between the two special objects Ob2 in the effective area Q and the two special objects Ob2 are erased by the erasing process, and after the erasing process is performed. A privilege process and a replenishment process are performed. Furthermore, when two or more special objects Ob2 are present in the effective area Q as a result of the second replenishment process Sa36 (Sa32: YES), the game control unit 312 similarly performs the erasure process, the privilege process, and the replenishment process. And processing. That is, the game control unit 312 repeats the erasing process, the privilege process, and the supplement process a plurality of times.

  As exemplified above, the deletion process, the privilege process, and the replenishment process are performed as a result of the change process performed each time the winning number is determined, and the change process is performed again as a result of the deletion process and the replenishment process. The deletion process, the privilege process, and the replenishment process are executed without being performed. That is, the erasure and supplementation of the object Ob in the effective area Q occurs in a plurality of times in a chain without requiring another change processing.

  As understood from the above description, in the first embodiment, as a result of changing one or more objects Ob to the special object Ob2 in accordance with the result of the lottery by the lottery processing unit 35, the object erasing process and the supplementing process are performed. Is executed, there is a possibility that many objects Ob can be deleted in a chain according to the result of the lottery. Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly entertaining game that can maintain the player's expectation that many objects Ob can be erased for a long time.

  In the first embodiment, a privilege according to the object Ob deleted by the deletion process is given to the player. Therefore, an incentive for erasing a large number of objects Ob can be effectively given to the player. In the first embodiment, in particular, when the privilege object Ob3 is erased by the erasing process, the privilege is given. Therefore, there is an advantage that the player can grasp the object Ob from which the privilege can be acquired.

  In the first embodiment, since the object Ob in the effective area Q is displayed on the display device 22, the state in which the object Ob in the effective area Q is erased and the object Ob in the space V in the effective area Q are displayed. There is an advantage that the player can visually and intuitively understand the state of replenishment. In the first embodiment, in particular, in addition to the object Ob in the effective area Q, the object Ob outside the effective area Q is also displayed on the display device 22, so that the player performs an operation (erase, supplement) in the effective area Q. There is also the advantage of being predictable.

[Second embodiment]
A second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the following examples, the same reference numerals are used for elements having the same functions as in the first embodiment, and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted as appropriate.

  The control device 31 according to the second embodiment operates in either the first game mode or the second game mode. The first game mode is, for example, an operation mode immediately after the start of the specific game, and the second game mode is, for example, an operation mode after the end of the operation in the first game mode.

  The lottery processing unit 35 sequentially determines N winning numbers by lottery in the first game mode. That is, in the first game mode, the insertion mechanism 13 sequentially inserts each of the N lottery media B, and each lottery medium B enters the N different lottery holes H, so that the N winning numbers are obtained. Are sequentially determined. In the first game mode, another lottery medium B is inserted by the insertion mechanism 13 before one lottery medium B enters the lottery hole H. That is, the N lottery media B roll on the surface of the lottery field 12 in parallel. In the first game mode, the insertion mechanism 13 may simultaneously insert the N lottery media B into the lottery field 12.

  In the second game mode, the lottery processing unit 35 sequentially determines M winning numbers by lottery as in the first embodiment. That is, in the second game mode, the insertion mechanism 13 sequentially inserts each of the M lottery media B, and each lottery medium B enters the different M lottery holes H, so that the M winning numbers are obtained. Are sequentially determined. In the second game mode, after one lottery medium B enters the lottery hole H and the game process Sa3 is completed, another lottery medium B is inserted by the insertion mechanism 13. The number N of the winning numbers determined in the first game mode and the number M of the winning numbers determined in the second game mode do not matter in magnitude or difference, but, for example, the number N is larger than the number M. Is set.

  The game control unit 312 according to the second embodiment executes the processing in FIG. 11 instead of the processing in FIG. 4 described above. As illustrated in FIG. 11, when the initial game screen G is displayed on the display device 22 (Sa1), the game control unit 312 performs a process (Sb1−Sb4) according to a result of the lottery in the first game mode. (Sa2-Sa4) according to the result of the lottery in the second game mode.

  In the first game mode, the game control unit 312 waits until one winning number is determined in the lottery by the lottery processing unit 35 (Sb1: NO). When one winning number is determined (Sb1: YES), the game control unit 312 executes a changing process of changing the lottery object Ob1 corresponding to the winning number to the special object Ob2 (Sb2). The game control unit 312 determines whether N winning numbers have been determined (Sb3). If the number of determined winning numbers in the first game mode is less than N (Sb3: NO), the game control unit 312 shifts the processing to step Sb1, and the lottery processing unit 35 determines a new winning number. To wait. That is, N times of changing processes corresponding to different winning numbers are sequentially performed.

  When the N winning numbers have been determined (Sb3: YES), the game control unit 312 executes an erasing process and a replenishing process according to the results of the last N changing processes (Sb4). That is, the game control unit 312 erases the two or more special objects Ob2 located in the effective area Q and the object Ob between the special objects Ob2 in the state reflecting the change processing N times. Further, the game control unit 312 moves each object Ob of the first object row L1 or each object Ob of the second object row L2 so as to replenish the space V generated by the erasing process. As understood from the above description, in the first game mode, the change process is executed every time the winning number is determined, but the erasing process and the replenishment process according to the result of the changing process are performed by determining the N winning numbers. Not run until.

  When the operation described above is executed, the game control unit 312 starts the operation in the second game mode while taking over the state of the game reflecting the result of the operation in the first game mode. That is, the operation mode changes from the first game mode to the second game mode. The operation in the second game mode is the same as in the first embodiment. That is, every time the winning number is determined, a change process (Sa31), an erasure process (Sa33), a privilege process (Sa34-Sa37), and a replenishment process Sa38 are executed. When the game process Sa3 is executed for the M winning numbers in the second game mode (Sa4: YES), the game control unit 312 ends the specific game.

  As described above, in the second game mode, the erasing process and the replenishing process are executed for each change process corresponding to each of the M winning numbers, whereas in the first game mode, N erasing processes are performed. After the lottery object Ob1 corresponding to each of the winning numbers is changed to the special object Ob2 by the changing process, the erasing process and the replenishing process are executed. Therefore, in the erasing process of the first game mode, there is a high possibility that many objects Ob are simultaneously erased by the special object Ob2 generated by the changing process N times. Therefore, it is possible to give the player an expectation that many objects Ob can be erased in the first game mode.

  In the second embodiment, the configuration in which the control device 31 operates in both the first game mode and the second game mode has been exemplified. However, the configuration in which the control device 31 operates only in the first game mode, or the control device 31 A configuration in which 31 operates only in the second game mode is also assumed.

[Third embodiment]
FIG. 12 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of a game system 100B according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The game system 100B according to the third embodiment is an information terminal such as a smartphone or a personal computer. A portable game device dedicated to a game may be used as the game system 100B. As illustrated in FIG. 12, the game system 100B includes a control device 51, a storage device 52, a display device 53, and an operation device 54.

  The control device 51 is configured by a processing circuit such as a CPU, for example, and controls each element of the game system 100B in an integrated manner. The storage device 52 stores a program executed by the control device 51 and various data used by the control device 51. For example, a known recording medium such as a semiconductor recording medium and a magnetic recording medium, or a combination of a plurality of types of recording media is arbitrarily adopted as the storage device 52. The display device 53 displays various images under the control of the control device 51. The operation device 54 receives an operation by the player. For example, a touch panel integrated with the display surface of the display device 53 is suitably used as the operation device 54.

  The control device 51 functions as the lottery processing unit 35 and the game control unit 312 by executing a program stored in the storage device 52. The lottery processing unit 35 sequentially determines any of the plurality of numbers by lottery, as in the first embodiment. The lottery processing unit 35 according to the first embodiment executes a physical lottery using the lottery mechanism 10, whereas the lottery processing unit 35 according to the third embodiment wins by an electronic lottery using a calculation process by the control device 51. Determine the number. The electronic lottery is information processing for stochastically determining a winning number by generating a random number, for example. The lottery processing unit 35 causes the display device 53 to display an image representing the lottery process. For example, an image representing the lottery mechanism 10 of the first embodiment is displayed on the display device 53.

  The game control unit 312 controls the specific game using the result of the lottery by the lottery processing unit 35, as in the first embodiment. Specifically, the game control unit 312 displays the game screen G of the specific game on the display device 53, and performs a change process (Sa31), an erasure process (Sa33), and a privilege process according to the result of the lottery by the lottery processing unit 35. (Sa34-Sa37) and the replenishment process (Sa38) are executed. Therefore, the same effects as those of the first embodiment are realized in the third embodiment. Note that the configuration of the second embodiment may be applied to the game system 100B of the third embodiment.

[Modification]
Each form exemplified above can be variously modified. Specific modifications that can be applied to the above-described embodiments will be exemplified below. Two or more aspects arbitrarily selected from the following examples may be combined as long as they do not conflict with each other.

(1) In each of the above-described embodiments, a configuration in which any of a plurality of numbers is determined by lottery is illustrated, but the elements (lottery elements) determined by lottery are not limited to numbers. For example, various symbols such as characters, symbols, colors, patterns or patterns may be used as the lottery elements and determined from a plurality of candidates by lottery. As understood from the above description, a typical example of the lottery executed by the lottery processing unit 35 is a process of determining any of a plurality of lottery elements. In some lotteries among a plurality of lotteries, the player may be able to select any of a plurality of lottery elements. For example, a configuration in which a player using a predetermined item given in a game acquires a right to select a lottery element is assumed.

(2) In each of the above-described embodiments, the roulette type lottery in which the lottery medium B enters any one of the plurality of lottery holes H has been illustrated, but the lottery method performed by the lottery processing unit 35 is not limited to the above example. . For example, a lottery of a system in which different lottery elements roll a polyhedron (die) indicated on each surface may be executed. The lottery element of the top surface when the polyhedron is stopped is determined as a result of the lottery.

(3) The shape of the first route R1 or the second route R2 is not limited to the above-described embodiments. For example, a straight or curved path may be used as the first path R1 and the second path R2. Further, for example, a spiral path may be used as the first path R1 or the second path R2.

(4) In each of the above-described embodiments, the configuration in which a part of the first route R1 and a part of the second route R2 are included in the effective area Q is exemplified. However, the entirety of the first route R1 and the second route R2 are not included. All of them may be included in the effective area Q. That is, all the objects Ob forming the first object sequence L1 and all the objects Ob forming the second object sequence L2 are included in the effective area Q. In the above configuration, for example, the initial special object Ob2 is not included in the first object row L1 and the second object row L2, and only the changed special object Ob2 changed from the lottery object Ob1 is used for erasing the object Ob. However, the initial special object Ob2 may be included in the first object row L1 or the second object row L2. For example, in a configuration in which all the objects Ob of the first object column L1 and all the objects Ob of the second object column L2 are included in the effective region Q, the effective region Q may be omitted.

  In the above configuration, when some of the objects Ob in the first object row L1 are deleted in the effective area Q, new objects Ob corresponding to the number of deleted objects become the last in order to form the first object row L1. Is added to For example, an object Ob whose order has been determined in advance or an object Ob prepared at random is added to the first object row L1. Then, the object V is replenished in the space V as the entire first object row L1 including the additional object Ob advances. Similarly, when some of the objects Ob in the second object row L2 are deleted in the effective area Q, new objects Ob corresponding to the number of deleted objects are added to the rear end to form the second object row L2. Is done. Then, as the entire second object row L2 including the additional object Ob proceeds, the space Ob is supplemented with the object Ob.

(5) In each of the above-described embodiments, the specific game using the first object row L1 and the second object row L2 has been illustrated, but the total number of object rows including the plurality of objects Ob is not limited to the above example. For example, one object column may be used. However, according to the configuration using a plurality of object rows as in each of the above-described embodiments, the object Ob between the two special objects Ob2 in the first object row L1 is deleted in the effective area Q. An object Ob between two special objects Ob2 in the two-object row L2, or an object Ob between one special object Ob2 in the first object row L1 and one special object Ob2 in the second object row L2 Can be erased in the effective area Q. That is, as compared with a game using only one object row, the chance of deleting the object Ob increases. Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly entertaining game in which the player can be provided with an expectation that many objects Ob can be erased. Note that three or more object columns may be used.

(6) In each of the above-described embodiments, when the privilege object Ob3 is deleted by the erasing process, the privilege corresponding to the privilege object Ob3 is given to the player. However, the content and the privilege of the privilege given to the player are determined. The method is not limited to the above examples. For example, the following benefits may be provided to the player.

[A] The game control unit 312 gives the player a game value of a quantity corresponding to the number of objects Ob deleted by the deletion processing as a privilege. For example, a game value of a quantity proportional to the number of objects Ob deleted by the deletion processing is given to the player. Further, a game value corresponding to the number corresponding to the lottery object Ob1 deleted by the deletion process may be given to the player. As understood from the above examples, the privilege object Ob3 is not essential in the present invention.

[B] The game control unit 312 determines whether the object Ob is erased by the initial special object Ob2 arranged on the initial screen or the case where the object Ob is erased by the changed special object Ob2 changed from the lottery object Ob1. Are different from each other. For example, when the object Ob is deleted by the changed special object Ob2, a larger number of game values are given as benefits than when the object Ob is deleted by the initial special object Ob2.

[C] The game control unit 312 gives the player a game value in an amount corresponding to the number of chains of the erasing process as a privilege. The chain number of the erasing process is the total number of erasing processes executed in a chain without passing through the change process. For example, a game value of a quantity proportional to the number of chains is given to the player.

[D] The game control unit 312 gives an item to be used in the game as a privilege to the player. For example, in a configuration in which play of a special game is permitted on condition that a predetermined number of items are collected, the items are given to the player according to the number of objects Ob deleted by the deletion processing. Also, the right to play a special game may be given to the player as a privilege. The special game is, for example, a lottery game in which a large amount of game value (so-called jackpot) can be obtained.

  As understood from the above examples, the benefits are comprehensively expressed as benefits for the player regarding the game. It should be noted that the grant of the privilege according to the result of the erasing process is not essential in the present invention. For example, a configuration in which one stage of a specific game is cleared by erasing a predetermined number (part or all) of the objects Ob in the game screen G is also conceivable.

(7) In each of the above-described embodiments, the game system 100 (100A, 100B) configured as a single device (game device) is illustrated, but the game system 100 is configured by a plurality of devices formed separately from each other. May be. Further, some of the functions of the game system 100 may be realized by a server device capable of communicating with the game system 100.

(8) As described above, the function of the management system 30 in the first embodiment is realized by cooperation between a processing circuit such as the control device 31 and a program. Further, the function of the game system 100B in the third embodiment is realized by the cooperation of the processing circuit such as the control device 51 and the program, as described above. The program according to each of the above-described embodiments may be provided in a form stored in a computer-readable recording medium and installed on the computer. The recording medium is, for example, a non-transitory recording medium, and an optical recording medium (optical disk) such as a CD-ROM is a good example, and a known arbitrary recording medium such as a semiconductor recording medium or a magnetic recording medium is used. Recording media of the type described above are also included. Note that the non-transitory recording medium includes any recording medium except for a transient propagation signal (transitory, propagating signal), and does not exclude a volatile recording medium. Further, the program may be provided to the computer in a form of distribution via a communication network.

[Appendix]
From the above description, preferred embodiments of the present invention are grasped, for example, as follows. In addition, in order to facilitate understanding of each aspect, the reference numerals in the drawings are written in parentheses for convenience, but the present invention is not limited to the illustrated aspects.

[Appendix 1]
A game system according to a preferred aspect (Supplementary Note 1) of the present invention includes a first lottery processing unit (35) for executing a lottery and a first lottery including a plurality of objects (Ob) arranged along the first route (R1). A game control unit (312) for controlling a game using the object sequence (L1), wherein the game control unit (312) includes one of the first object sequences (L1) corresponding to a result of the lottery. A change process for changing at least two objects (Ob) into special objects (Ob2) is performed. If two special objects (Ob2) exist in the first path (R1), the two special objects (Ob2) are changed. An erasing process for erasing the object (Ob) between the objects (Ob2) and one or more of the first object rows (L1) so that the space (V) generated by the erasing process is supplemented with the object (Ob). A replenishing process of moving along the object (Ob) of said first path (R1), is repeated.

  According to the above aspect, since the one or more objects (Ob) are changed to the special object (Ob2) according to the result of the lottery, the erasing process and the replenishment process of the object (Ob) are executed, so that the lottery is performed. There is a possibility that a large number of objects (Ob) can be deleted in a chain according to the result of (1). Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly entertaining game that can maintain the player's expectation that many objects (Ob) can be erased.

  The “lottery” may be, for example, a physical lottery using a lottery mechanism (for example, roulette) that allows a lottery medium to enter one of a plurality of lottery holes, or an electronic lottery by information processing such as generation of a random number. “One or more objects (Ob) according to the result of the lottery” means, for example, when one of a plurality of lottery elements (for example, numbers) is determined by lottery, the lottery among the plurality of objects (Ob). An object (Ob) corresponding to the element.

  In the “deletion process”, two special objects (Ob2) may or may not be deleted. For example, an object (Ob) other than the special object (Ob2) is deleted on condition that it is located between two special objects (Ob2), and a special object (Ob2) is deleted on condition that other conditions are satisfied. May be. When two special objects (Ob2) are adjacent to each other (when no other object (Ob) exists between the special objects (Ob2)), the erasure of the object (Ob) may be omitted or the two special objects (Ob2) may be omitted. The object (Ob2) may be deleted.

  The “erase process” is typically a process of erasing an object (Ob) between two special objects (Ob2). However, the process of erasing an object (Ob) between three or more special objects (Ob2) is also included in the concept of "erasing process". For example, when the special object A, the special object B, and the special object C exist in the above order, in the “erase processing”, at least one object between the special object A and the special object B and the special object B And one or more objects between the special objects C are deleted.

  "Moving one or more objects (Ob) of the first object row (L1)" means that each object (Ob) of the first object row (L1) moves so as to fill the space (V). I do. For example, when a space (V) occurs in front of the first object row (L1), the space (V) is supplemented by the entire first object row L1 moving forward. When a space (V) occurs in the middle of the first object row (L1), each object (Ob) located behind the space (V) in the first object row (L1) moves forward. (The respective objects (Ob) located in front of the space (V) do not move), thereby replenishing the space (V).

  A plurality of object rows each composed of a plurality of objects (Ob) may be used in the game (for example, see Appendix 8). If the requirement according to Appendix 1 is satisfied for one specific column of the plurality of object columns, it is determined that all the requirements of Appendix 1 are satisfied regardless of whether the requirement is satisfied for other object columns. it can.

[Appendix 2]
In a preferred embodiment (Supplementary Note 2) of Supplementary Note 1, the first object row (L1) includes one or more special objects (Ob2) at the start of the lottery. In the above embodiment, in the initial state in which the lottery is started, the first object row (L1) includes one or more special objects (Ob2). Therefore, at the time of the start of the lottery (for example, immediately after the start of the game), it is possible to give the player an expectation that many objects (Ob) can be erased.

[Appendix 3]
In a preferred mode (Supplementary Note 3) of Supplementary Note 1 or Supplementary Note 2, the game control unit (312) gives a privilege according to the object (Ob) deleted by the deletion process to the player. According to the above configuration, the privilege according to the object (Ob) erased by the erasing process is given to the player, so that an incentive to erase many objects (Ob) can be effectively given to the player.

  "Privilege" is a benefit for the player regarding the game, and includes, for example, a predetermined amount of game value, items used in the game, or a right to play a special game. The “privilege according to the deleted object (Ob)” is, for example, a privilege set to the object (Ob) deleted by the deletion processing (for example, a game value of the quantity set to the object (Ob)), or And a privilege according to the number of objects (Ob) erased by the erasing process (for example, a game value of a quantity according to the number of erased objects (Ob)).

  The time at which the privilege is given to the player is arbitrary. For example, a privilege may be given to the player every time the object (Ob) is erased in the middle of the game, or when the condition for ending the game is satisfied, the object (Ob) erased in the course of the game ( A privilege according to Ob) may be given to the player.

[Appendix 4]
In a preferred embodiment (Supplementary Note 4) of Supplementary Note 3, the first object row (L1) includes a privilege object (Ob3), and the game control unit (312) controls the object (Ob) erased by the erasing process. Is the privilege object (Ob3), the privilege is given to the player. According to the above configuration, there is an advantage that the player can grasp the object (Ob) to which the privilege is given by erasure in the first object row (L1).

  The “privilege object (Ob3)” is an object (Ob) corresponding to, for example, a given amount of game value. A plurality of types of privilege objects (Ob3) corresponding to different quantities related to the game value may be included in the first object row (L1).

[Appendix 5]
In a preferred example (Supplementary Note 5) of Supplementary Note 1 to Supplementary Note 4, in the lottery by the lottery processing unit (35), N (N is a natural number of 2 or more) lottery elements are sequentially determined, and the game control is performed. The unit (312) executes the change processing each time the lottery element is determined, changes one or more objects (Ob) corresponding to the N lottery elements by the change processing, and then executes the deletion processing. The replenishment process is performed. In the above embodiment, the erasing process and the replenishing process are executed after one or more objects (Ob) corresponding to the N lottery elements are changed by the changing process. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the erasing process and the replenishing process are executed. Therefore, in the first game mode (for example, the operation mode immediately after the start of the game), it is possible to give the player an expectation that many objects (Ob) can be erased.

[Appendix 6]
In any of the preferred examples (Supplementary Note 6) of Supplementary Notes 1 to 4, in the lottery by the lottery processing unit (35), M (M is a natural number of 2 or more) lottery elements are sequentially determined, and the game control is performed. The unit (312) executes the change process each time the lottery element is determined, and executes the erasing process and the replenishment process each time the change process is performed. In the above embodiment, a change process is executed each time a lottery element is determined, and an erasing process and a replenishment process are executed every change process. Therefore, a highly entertaining game that can maintain the player's expectation for a long time can be provided.

[Appendix 7]
In a preferred embodiment (Supplementary Note 7) of Supplementary Note 1 to Supplementary Note 4, in the lottery by the lottery processing unit (35), N (N is a natural number of 2 or more) lottery elements are sequentially set in the first game mode. In the second game mode, M (M is a natural number of 2 or more) lottery elements are sequentially determined, and the game control unit (312) executes the change process each time the lottery element is determined, In the first game mode, one or more objects (Ob) corresponding to the N lottery elements are changed by the change processing, and then the erasing processing and the replenishment processing are executed, and the second game is executed. In the mode, the erasing process and the replenishing process are executed for each change process.

  In the above embodiment, in the second game mode, the erasing process and the replenishing process are executed for each change process, whereas in the first game mode, one or more objects (Ob) corresponding to N lottery elements Is changed to the special object (Ob2), and then the erasing process and the supplementing process are executed. That is, in the first game mode, there is a high possibility that the erasing process and the replenishing process are executed. Therefore, in the first game mode (for example, in a period immediately after the start of the game), it is possible to give the player an expectation that many objects (Ob) can be erased. Note that there is no problem before and after the first game mode and the second game mode. That is, a transition may be made to the second game mode after the end of the first game mode, or a transition may be made to the first game mode after the end of the second game mode.

  The number N of lottery elements determined in the first game mode and the number M of lottery elements determined in the second game mode are natural numbers of 2 or more. The difference between the number N and the number M does not matter, but a configuration in which the number M exceeds the number N is preferable. In the second game mode, basically, M lottery elements are determined from two or more lottery elements other than the N lottery elements determined in the first game mode among the plurality of lottery elements. . However, in the second game mode, M lottery elements may be determined from a plurality of lottery elements including the N lottery elements determined in the first game mode.

[Appendix 8]
In a preferred example (Supplementary Note 8) of Supplementary Note 1, the game control unit (312) includes two special objects (Ob2) in an effective area including a part or all of the first path in the erasing process. In this case, the object (Ob) between the two special objects (Ob2) is erased, and the object (Ob) is refilled in the space (V) generated in the effective area by the erasing process in the replenishment process. I do.

[Appendix 9]
In a preferred mode (Supplementary Note 9) of Supplementary Note 8, the game control unit (312) causes the display device (22) to display the object (Ob) in the effective area (Q). According to the above aspect, the state in which the object (Ob) in the effective area (Q) is erased and the state in which the object (Ob) is replenished in the space (V) in the effective area (Q) are determined by the player. Can be visually and intuitively grasped.

[Appendix 10]
In a preferred embodiment (Supplementary Note 10) of Supplementary Note 8 or 9, the game control unit (312) determines the object (Ob) in the effective area (Q) in the first object row (L1) and the validity of the object (Ob). An object (Ob) outside the area (Q) is displayed on the display device (22). According to the above aspect, in addition to the object (Ob) in the effective area (Q), the object (Ob) outside the effective area (Q) is also displayed on the display device (22). Therefore, there is an advantage that the player can anticipate the operations (erase, replenishment) that will occur later.

[Appendix 11]
In a preferred mode (Supplementary Note 11) of Supplementary Note 1, the game control unit (312) may include, in the change processing, the first object sequence (L1) and a second route that is different from the first route (R1). Among the second object row (L2) including a plurality of objects (Ob) arranged along (R2), one or more objects (Ob) according to the result of the lottery are set as special objects (Ob2). In the erasing process, when two special objects (Ob2) exist in one or both of the first route (R1) and the second route (R2), the two special objects (Ob2) ), The object (Ob) positioned between the first route (R1) is erased in the replenishment process so that the space (V) generated by the erasure process is replenished with the object (Ob). And movement of the object (Ob) of said first object column (L1), generating at least one of a moving object (Ob) of said second object column along the second path (R2) (L2).

  According to the above aspect, the object (Ob) between the two special objects (Ob2) in the first object row (L1) is deleted in the effective area (Q), and the second object row (L2) , An object (Ob) between two special objects (Ob2), or one special object (Ob2) of the first object row (L1) and one special object (Ob) of the second object row (L2) The object (Ob) between it and Ob2) is deleted in the effective area (Q). That is, as compared with the game using only the first object row (L1), the chance of deleting the object (Ob) increases. Therefore, it is possible to provide a highly entertaining game in which a player can be provided with an expectation that many objects (Ob) can be erased.
