That is, the degree of advantage in the game after the next time is higher than that in the case where the normal condition is set, in that there is a high possibility that the hand of the user will be improved by activating the handing skill. As a result, it becomes possible to supplement the unreasonableness of the current game in the next and subsequent games, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the interest of the mahjong game due to the unreasonable game being played.

Note that the skill activation condition in FIG. 4 has been described with respect to a predetermined example for the skill, but the present invention is not limited to this, and even with the same skill, the type of character operated by the user and the progress status of the game ( It may be different according to the battle situation).

(Tsumoskill management table)
With reference to FIG. 5, the Tsumo skill management table 302 manages details of Tsumo skills that can be activated during a game and conditions for activating the Tsumo skills. Also, as Tsumo Skills, Tsutsuko Musou, Tsuko Musou, Manko Musou, Gaku Musou, Yao Musou, Yao Ku Musou, Nothing Asking, Greedy Right Hand, Safe Left Hand, Future Prediction, Crisis Perception, Bukkake, Secret Technique Swallows are returned, angry squirrels, deadly river pick-ups, explosive roads, enthusiastic riding, and crisis detection capabilities are set.

The types of Tsumo skills include skills that make it easier to draw tiles of a specific type. For example, Tsutsuko Musou is a skill that draws Tsutsuko in three consecutive rounds, and Riko Musou is a skill that pulls Tsuko in three consecutive rounds. Manso Musou is a skill that draws Manko in 3 consecutive rounds, and Character Warrior is a skill that draws tiles in 3 consecutive rounds. Yao Musou is a skill that draws Yao tiles in three consecutive rounds, and Yao Kuso Musou is a skill that draws nine Yao tiles in three consecutive rounds.

The types of Tsumo skills include skills that make it easier to draw tiles that are determined based on the history of the private tiles or Tsumo tiles. For example, Naremono Nedari is a skill that draws tiles that have never been drawn in three consecutive rounds. Greedy right hand is a skill that draws the tiles that you already have in your hands for three consecutive rounds. A safe left hand is a skill that draws in tiles that have not been thrown away for three rounds in a row.

The types of Tsumo skills include the skill of notifying the user of future Tsumo tiles. For example, future prediction is a skill to predict three future Tsumo tiles. The type of Tsumo skill may be one that informs the user of advantageous information based on the history of the tiles or discard tiles of the other house. For example, the crisis detection ability is a skill that detects a crisis and navigates so as not to throw it away when the tile to be thrown away is someone's winning tile.

The types of Tsumo skills include the skill of replacing at least a part of the hand tiles of the home with a mountain tile or a discard tile. For example, bukkake is a skill to replace the specified 4 tiles with the 4 tiles of the mountain. Secret trick swallow is a skill to replace all the tiles with the tiles. Angry Sliker is a skill that allows you to switch to the next tile if you don't like the tiles that are fluffy. Deadly River Pickup is a skill that picks up discard tiles from the river and puts one hand on the river instead.

In addition to the above skills, the types of Tsumo skills include various skills that draw Tsumo tiles that are advantageous to the home. For example, the explosive highway is a skill to play Tsumo that reduces the number of Shanten by one. Encouraging is a skill that ensures that the back drama is always on board. Crisis-sensing ability is a skill to know whether a specified type of tile is a dangerous tile.

The crisis detection ability requires the designation of the tile to be discarded, while the crisis detection ability requires only the designation of the type of tile. For this reason, it can be said that the ability to detect a crisis is more accurate than the ability to detect a crisis as the ability to predict the arrival of a crisis.

Also, "shunten" is a term indicating how many times it is possible to make a tempai at the shortest. Specifically, the state of a hand tile that can be tempered if it is twisted at least 3 times is called 3 Shanten, and the state of a hand tile that can be tempered if it is twisted at least 2 times is called 2 Shanten. Therefore, the closer the number of shunts is, the smaller the number of shunts becomes, and the smaller the number of shunts, the more the number of shunts is increased.

As the skill activation condition, a normal condition and a relaxation condition are prepared. Similar to the above, the relaxation condition is a condition that is milder than the normal condition and has a higher ratio of being satisfied than the normal condition. Therefore, the relaxation condition may be unconditionally satisfied. A Tsumo skill associated with unconditional establishment can be activated at any time.

Both the normal condition and the relaxation condition may be based on, for example, the number of Shanten until reaching the tempai. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the normal condition of the warrior is not satisfied when the number of tiles of the home is three shunts or more. Both the normal condition and the relaxation condition may be based on, for example, the rank of the house, the place (how many stations in the east, etc.) and the round of discarded tiles (number of remaining tiles) in the station. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the normal condition of no needing is satisfied when the number of homes is two or less and the number of hands of the home is three shunts or less. Both the normal condition and the relaxation condition may be based on the behavior of the home or the other home, for example. In the example shown in FIG. 5, the normal condition for enthusiastic riding is satisfied after the home reaches.

In the present embodiment, according to the unreasonableness of the content of the game at this time, the triggering condition of Tsumo-skill in the game after the next time is set as the relaxation condition. That is, the degree of advantage in the game after the next time is improved as compared with the case where the normal condition is set. As a result, it becomes possible to supplement the unreasonableness of the current game in the next and subsequent games, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the interest of the mahjong game due to the unreasonable game being played.

Note that the skill activation condition in FIG. 5 has been described with respect to an example predetermined for the skill, but the present invention is not limited to this, and even if the skill is the same, the type of character operated by the user and the progress status of the game ( It may be different according to the battle situation).

(Rating management table)
Referring to FIG. 6(A), the rating management table 303 manages the rating indicating the strength of the user regarding the mahjong game of the present embodiment and the correction value of the rating. Ratings and corrections are associated with each of a number of users playing the Mahjong game and are used to match four users of comparable strength.

Specifically, the rating is a parameter that is increased by playing the games or winning the games, and is set to any value within the range of 1500 to 2500, for example. Further, the correction value is set in increments of 50 within a range of -50 to -250, for example. At the time of matching in the game server 200, the rating of the user who is the host is corrected by the correction value of the user, and a large number of users are associated with the rating within the range of ±50 with respect to the corrected rating. Selected as a guest from the users.

Therefore, if the rating and the correction value of the host user are 1800 and -150, respectively, the corrected rating is 1650, and the user associated with the rating within the range of 1600 to 1700 is selected by matching. Enter the battle as a guest.

The correction value is updated based on the ranking (competition history) of the latest four battles. Specifically, the correction value is increased in the negative direction as the rank of the four battles is lower. When a user who is associated with a correction value indicating a negative value creates a mahjong room as a host for the next and subsequent battles, a user weaker than the user is selected by matching and faces the next and subsequent battles. As a result, it is possible to reflect the condition (unreasonableness) in the latest four battles on the opponents in the battles after the next battle, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the interest of the mahjong game due to continuing loss.

Note that the correction of the rating and the selection of the guest based on the corrected rating may be performed by a calculation different from the above.

(Skill point management table)
With reference to FIG. 6B, the skill point management table 304 manages the skill points that can be consumed in this battle for each user. The skill point is a point required to activate the tile skill or the Tsumo skill associated with the user, and the amount of points decreases each time the skill is activated.

For example, the skill points are set to 120 points at the start of the battle. 40 points will be consumed when the tile allocation skill is activated, and 25 points will be consumed when the Tsumo skill is activated. The skill points reduced by consumption are restored by, for example, 50% (=60 points) when the next game starts. Therefore, if the remaining skill points at the end of the current game are 55 points, the skill points at the start of the next game will be 105 points.

Further, if the content of the game this time is unreasonable for the user, the amount of skill points consumed in the game after the next time can be suppressed. Specifically, the consumption amount by activating the tile distribution skill is suppressed from 40 points to 25 points, and the consumption amount by activating the tsumo skill is suppressed from 25 points to 15 points. The degree of advantage in the game after the next time will be improved by suppressing the consumption amount. As a result, it becomes possible to correct the unreasonableness of the game at this time in the game after the next time, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the interest of the game.

(Unreasonable value/parent cover count management table)
With reference to FIG. 6(C), the unreasonable value/parent-fogging count management table 305 manages, for each user, an unreasonable value representing the unreasonableness of the current battle and the number of parent-fogging in the current battle.

Even though I was hoping that my house's unreasonable value could be raised because there is a high possibility that the tiles needed to go up in this game will remain in the mountain, , Although it is unlikely that the other house will go up, it will increase when the other house goes up. For example, while the home was tempted, the tiles that were not visible to the home (the tiles of the other family that could not be raised and the tiles of Mt. At times, the inexhaustible value of the home increases by 1. Also, when many tiles remain on the tile pile and the waiting state of the other house is difficult to rise (for example, waiting for Kanchan), even if you go up to the other house, your own reason value is only 1. Increase.

The inexhaustible value of a home also increases when it is raised by another home in a situation where the expected score for a rise in the home is large. Specifically, when the house is being tempted by another house and the score of the ascending hand of the house is high, the reason value of the house increases by one. In addition, when the private house goes up, the unreasonable value of the private house is reduced by 1.

A parent's cover is that the other family who is a child is raised in a game in which his or her family faces as a parent. It is to be noted that "tsumo rise" means that a rise tile is pulled up from the tile pile and is distinguished from Ron rise, in which the rise tile is replenished with a discard tile of another house. When a parent wears it, the parent pays the child about twice as many points as the rising hand. The inexhaustible value of the home increases by 1 even when the number of times the parent wears the home (the number of times the parent home loses due to being lifted by another child home).

In the next and subsequent games, the activation condition of the skill that the player can activate is set to the normal condition when the own reason value is 0, and the relaxation condition when the own reason value is 1 or more. When the relaxation condition is set, the self-reason value is reduced by 1.

Further, the amount of consumption of own skill points in the game after the next time is set to 40 points for the distribution skill and 25 points for the Tsumo skill when the own reason value is 0. On the other hand, if the personal unreasonableness value is 1 or more, the consumption amount is set to 25 points for the tile distribution skill and 15 points for the Tsumo skill.

For example, if the skill of allocating tiles is activated in a game where the skill point at the start of the game is 105 points, the skill point will decrease to 65 points when the own reason value is 0, and the own reason value is 1 or more. In case of, it is reduced to 80 points. When the Tsumo skill is activated once during a game, the skill point is reduced to 40 points when the own reason value is 0, and is reduced to 65 points when the own reason value is 1 or more.

(Hand tile management table)
With reference to FIG. 6(D), the hand tile management table 306 manages the hand tile transition of each of the four users and the information on the secondary dew for each game. The information regarding the dewdrop indicates the type of the dewdrop when the dewdrop is declared and 0 when the dewdrop is not declared. The process of increasing the unreasonable value is executed based on the hand tile of each user managed by the hand tile management table 306.

(Rank management table)
Referring to FIG. 6(E), the ranking management table 307 manages the ranking of the own user in the past competition. The correction value registered in the rating management table 303 is updated to a larger value in the negative direction as the rank of the own user in the latest four battles including the current battle is lower. The matching of the users who will compete in the next and subsequent battles is executed based on the rating corrected by the correction value.

(About operation)
The control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by the user who is the host role, according to the manager-side program, the matching process shown in FIG. 7, the game process for manager shown in FIG. 8, and the rescue process shown in FIGS. 12 and 13. And execute. Further, the control unit 110 of the user terminal 100 operated by each user, in accordance with the user-side program, has the user game process shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the user Tsumo-skill control process shown in FIG. 11, and the rating shown in FIG. The correction process is executed.

The matching process shown in FIG. 7, the game process for manager shown in FIG. 8, and the rescue process shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 are executed by the game server 200, and the processing result is transmitted to each user terminal 100. You may do it.

Referring to FIG. 7, in step S01, it is determined whether or not an operation for creating a room has been performed based on an operation input on touch screen 15. If it is not determined that the operation for creating the room has been performed, the matching process this time is ended. On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation of creating the room is performed, the process proceeds to step S02, and a matching request is transmitted to the game server 200. The matching request includes the user name of the host user, the rating of the user, and the rating correction value.

The game server 200 corrects the rating with the correction value, and selects, as guests, three users who are associated with a rating within a range of ±50 with respect to the corrected rating. As a result, a party composed of one user who is the host and three users who are the guest is formed. After that, the game server 200 transmits the matching completion information including the user names of the three guest role users to the user terminal 100 of the host role user.

In step S03, it is determined based on the input from the communication IF 13 whether or not the matching completion information is notified from the game server 200. If it is not determined that the matching completion information has been notified, the process proceeds to step S08. In step S08, it is determined based on the measurement result of the timer unit 113 whether or not a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) has elapsed from the process of step S02.

If it is not determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, the process returns to step S03. On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed, the failure of matching is notified in step S09, and the matching process this time is ended.

When it is determined in step S03 that the matching completion information has been notified, the process proceeds to step S04. In step S04, the user names of the four users who will face this battle are registered in the skill point management table 304, the unreasonable value/parent covering frequency management table 305, and the hand tile management table 306. In step S05, 120 skill points are given to each of the four users registered in the skill point management table 304.

In step S06, the unreasonableness value in the current competition of each of the four users registered in the unreasonableness value/parent covering frequency management table 305 is set to zero. In step S07, the number of parent foggings in the current competition of each of the four users registered in the unreasonable value/parent fogging count management table 305 is set to zero. The matching process this time ends after the process of step S07.

The game process for manager shown in FIG. 8 is executed after the matching process is completed. In addition, in the present embodiment, it is assumed that the game is for one villa, so the game processing for the administrator is 4 stations in the eastern part, 4 stations in the southern part, 4 stations in the west part, and 4 parts in the north part. And each run.

In step S11, the tile distribution skill and the Tsumo skill are associated with each of the four users facing the game. Specifically, one distribution skill selected by random number lottery from the distribution skill management table 301 and two Tsumo skills selected by random number lottery from the Tsumo skill management table 302 are associated with each of the four users.

At this time, the tile distribution skill associated with each user may be different among users, and the Tsumo skill associated with each user may also be different among users. That is, it is possible that the tile skill and Tsumo skill associated with each user do not overlap. The distribution skill and the Tsumo skill may be predetermined according to the type of the character, or may be selectable by the user from the predetermined skills.

In step S12, the reason/exhaust value indicating a value of 1 or more is specified from the reason/exhaust values registered in the reason/existence count management table 305, and the amount of skill point consumption of the user associated with the reason/exhaust value is changed. To do. Specifically, the amount of skill points consumed by activating the tile distribution skill is changed from 40 points to 25 points, and the amount of skill points consumed by activating the Tsumo skill is changed from 25 points to 15 points. In step S12, the unreasonable value is reduced by 1 in response to the change in the consumption amount.

For example, if the reason value of the user 1 is 3, the consumption amount of the skill point of the user 1 is changed to 25 points for the distribution skill and 15 points for the Tsumo skill. If the consumption is changed, the reason value is reduced from 3 to 2.

In step S13, an inexact value indicating a value of 1 or more is specified from the inexact values registered in the inexact value/parent-fogging count management table 305, and the skill activation condition of the user associated with the inexhaustible value is used as the relaxation condition. change. In step S13, the unreasonable value is reduced by 1 in response to the change in the consumption amount.

For example, if the reason value of the user 1 is 2, the condition for activating the tile distribution skill and the Tsumo skill associated with the user 1 is set as the relaxation condition. When the relaxation condition is set, the reason value is reduced from 2 to 1.

In step S14, any one of the four users who face the game is designated. In step S15, the playing status of the designated user (position of the user (by East/South/West/North, parent/child), current time of Mahjong room, number of games this time, etc.) Identify. In step S16, it is determined whether or not the condition for activating the distribution skill associated with the user is satisfied, based on the game situation specified in step S15.

For example, if the tile distribution skill associated with the specified user is the character master and the relaxation condition is set as the skill activation condition, it is determined whether the position of the user is Nishiya or child.

When it is determined in step S16 that the condition for activating the tile distribution skill is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S17, the tile corresponding to the tile distribution skill is executed to the user, and the tile distribution is performed. Is set in the tile management table 306. For example, when the tile master is activated, tiles including nine or more tiles are set in the hand tile management table 306. In step S18, the skill points given to the user are updated. Specifically, the skill point is reduced by 40 points when the consumption amount is not changed by the process of step S12, and is reduced by 25 points when the consumption amount is changed by the process of step S12.

In step S16, when it is not determined that the activation condition of the tile distribution skill is satisfied, the process proceeds to step S19, in which a random tile allocation is performed for the user, and the tile allocation is performed by the user. Is set in the hand tile management table 306.

When the process of step S18 or S19 is completed, the process proceeds to step S20. In step S21, it is determined based on the processing result of step S14 whether or not all of the four users have been designated. If it is not determined that all of the four users have been designated, the process returns to step S14. On the other hand, when it is determined that all of the four users have been designated, the process proceeds to step S21, and the game screen shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 15(A), a mahjong table is displayed from the viewpoint (obliquely above) of the operating character, that is, the home, in the center slightly above the game screen. At the center of the mahjong table, a river area RV for displaying abandoned tiles of the home and another's house is allocated. Below the river area RV, a hand tile area HA for displaying the tiles of the home is displayed. Has been assigned. Further, below the hand tile area HA, a tsumo skill area TA for displaying a tsumo skill icon corresponding to the tsumo skill associated with the home is allocated.

Returning to FIG. 8, in step S22, the game is advanced while partitioning the order of drawing tiles among the four users. When the user side program notifies that the Tsumo skill is activated by any of the users, in step S22, the process of updating the skill point is also executed. The skill point is reduced by 25 points when the consumption amount is not changed by the process of step S12, and is reduced by 15 points when the consumption amount is changed by the process of step S12.

In step S23, it is determined whether any one of the four users has gone up or the current game has become a flow. If it is not determined that one of the users has risen or the current game has become a flow station, the process returns to step S22. On the other hand, if it is determined that any one of the users has risen or the current game has become a flow station, the settlement is performed in step S24. For example, a score that corresponds to a rising hand is given to a user who declares rising. As a result, the ranking of the four users and the score difference between the four users are specified. This game process for the manager ends after the process of step S24.

Referring to FIG. 9, in step S31, the tiles distributed to the user by the processing of step S17 or S19 are displayed in the hand tile area HA. The tiles are displayed, for example, as shown in FIG. In step S32, it is determined whether or not the own user's turn has arrived based on the processing result of step S22. If it is determined that the turn has arrived, the process proceeds to step S33. In step S33, the tiles are picked up from the tiled piles and the tiles that are pushed are displayed in the hand tile area HA.

In step S34, by comparing the combination of the tiles that establishes each of the plurality of types of combinations with the combination of the tiles on the hand tile area HA, whether the combination of the tiles on the hand tile area HA is established. Determine whether or not. When it is determined that the winning combination has been established, the process proceeds to step S35, and it is determined based on an operation input on the touch screen 15 whether or not the operation of declaring the upward movement or the upward movement is performed by the user. When it is determined that the operation of declaring the rising of the spider or the rising of the slant is performed, the process proceeds to step S36, and the administrator side program is notified of the rising of the sprue or the rising of the long. The user game process ends after the notification.

If it is not determined in step S34 that the winning combination is established, or if it is not determined in step S35 that the operation of declaring a rise is performed, the process proceeds to step S37. In step S37, it is determined whether or not a touch operation has been performed on any one of the plurality of hand tiles on the hand tile area HA based on the operation input on the touch screen 15.

If it is not determined that the touch operation has been performed on the hand tile, the process proceeds to step S40, and it is determined based on the operation input to the touch screen 15 whether or not the operation of declaring sub-dew or reach is performed. If it is not determined that the operation of declaring sub-dew or reach is performed, the process returns to step S34. On the other hand, when it is determined that the operation of declaring sub-dew or reach is performed, the process corresponding to the operation is executed in step S41. If the performed operation is the operation of declaring the dewdrop, the dewdrop information is set in the hand tile management table 306. When the process of step S41 is completed, the administrator side program is notified of the completion of the process in step S42, and then the process returns to step S32.

When it is determined in step S37 that a touch operation has been performed on one of the hand tiles, the process proceeds to step S38, and the guide frame GF is displayed on the touch screen 15. In step S39, the touched tile is enlarged and displayed on the river area RV side.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15(A), when a tile is touched, the tile is enlarged and displayed at a position above the touched position. In addition, as shown in FIG. 15B, when one tile is touched, the tile is enlarged and displayed at a position above the touched position.

In step S43, it is determined whether or not the touch position has moved, based on the operation input on the touch screen 15. When it is determined that the touch position has moved, the process proceeds to step S44, and it is determined whether or not the current touch position is within the lower area including the hand tile area HA and extending to the lower portion of the screen.

If it is determined that the current touch position is within the lower area, the process proceeds to step S45, and the tiles to be enlarged and displayed are changed to the tiles positioned in the vertical direction of the touch position. When the change of the tile is completed, the process returns to step S43. When it is not determined that the current touch position is within the lower area, the process returns to step S43 without executing the process of step S45.

Therefore, when the touch position is moved to the right in the state where the one-piece tile shown in FIG. 15(A) is enlarged and displayed, the one-piece tile is normally displayed in the original position and the one-row tile on the right is touched. It is enlarged and displayed at a position above the position. Further, when the touch position is moved to the left side in the state where the single tile shown in FIG. 15(B) is enlarged and displayed, the single tile is normally displayed in the original position and the left adjacent tile is touched. It is enlarged and displayed at a position above the position. When the touch position moves to the river area RV, the guide frame GF is highlighted.

When it is not determined that the touch position has moved in step S43, the process proceeds to step S46, and it is determined whether or not the touch operation is canceled based on the operation input to the touch screen 15. If it is not determined that the touch operation has been released, the process returns to step S43. On the other hand, when it is determined that the touch operation has been released, the process proceeds to step S47, and the guide frame GF is hidden.

In step S48, it is determined whether or not the last touch position is within the river area RV based on the operation input on the touch screen 15. If it is not determined that the last touched position is within the river area RV, the enlarged display of the tile is ended in step S53, and then the process returns to step S34. As a result, the tile that has been enlarged and displayed is normally displayed at the original position.

When it is determined in step S48 that the last touched position is within the river area RV, the process proceeds to step S49, and the discarded tiles for the touched tiles touched immediately before are executed. That is, the discard tile is executed when the touch position is slid to the river area RV in a state where any one of the tiles is displayed in an enlarged manner. In step S50, the discarded tiles are moved to the river area RV and displayed in a reduced size.

In step S51, the hand tile management table 306 is updated. Specifically, when the tsubo cutting is not performed, the discarded tiles are registered in the tile management table 306. On the other hand, when tsumo cutting is performed, the same tile as the tile before tsumo is registered in the tile management table 306. When the process of step S51 is completed, the administrator side program is notified of the completion of the process in step S52, and then the process returns to step S32.

Referring to FIG. 11, in step S61, it is determined based on the skill activation condition associated with the Tsumo skill whether or not the Tsumo skill associated with the own user can be activated. For example, if the Tsumo skill associated with the user is a deadly river catch and a relaxation condition is set as the skill activation condition, it is determined whether or not the player's hand is 2 Shanten or more, the hand management table 306. Judgment is made based on the tiles registered in.

If it is not determined that the Tsumo skill can be activated, the process proceeds to step S62, and the Tsumo skill icon is normally displayed. In step S63, it is determined whether or not the discard tile has been executed based on the status of the process of step S49. If it is determined that the discard tile has been executed, the process returns to step S61.

If it is determined in step S61 that the Tsumo skill can be activated, the process proceeds to step S64, and the Tsumo skill icon is highlighted. In step S65, it is determined whether or not a touch operation has been performed on the highlighted Tsumo Skill icon, based on an operation input on the touch screen 15.

If it is not determined that the touch operation is performed, the process proceeds to step S68 without executing the processes of steps S66 and S67. On the other hand, if it is determined that the touch operation has been performed, the tsum skill is activated in step S66, the activation of the tsum skill is notified to the administrator-side program in step S67, and then the process proceeds to step S68.

Therefore, for example, when a deadly river pickup is activated, a process of picking up a discarded tile from the river and placing one hand tile in the river instead is executed in step S66. When the deadly river catching is activated, the process of updating the hand tiles registered in the hand tile management table 306 is also executed in step S66.

In step S68, it is determined whether or not the discard tile has been executed based on the status of the process of step S49. If it is not determined that the discard tile has been executed, the process returns to step S65, and if it is determined that the discard tile has been executed, the process returns to step S61.

With reference to FIG. 12, the rescue process is executed every time the manager game process shown in FIG. 8 is completed. In step S71, one of the three users who lost the game this time is designated. In step S72, it is determined based on the hand tile management table 306 whether or not the hand tiles of the designated user are in a ten-pie state. When it is determined that the hand tile is in the tempo state, the process proceeds to step S73, and the waiting state and the waiting tile of the user are specified based on the hand tile management table 306.

For example, if the user's hand tile is in a tempai state including three and four tiles, Junko wait is specified as the wait state, and two and five tiles are specified as the wait tiles. Also, when the user's hand tile is in a tempai state including two four-tube tiles and two seven-row tiles, the wait-for-marking is specified as the waiting state, and the four-pipe tile and the seven-row tile wait. Identified as a tile.

In step S74, the waiting tile is specified from among the tiles that are not seen by the user (that is, the tiles of other users who have lost) and the tiles of the tile pile. In step S75, it is determined whether or not the number of waiting tiles specified in step S74 is equal to or larger than a predetermined number, based on the processing result of step S74.

The predetermined number of values is set to a value according to the waiting state of the user. That is, the predetermined number of values is set to, for example, 4 when the waiting state is waiting for forward child, and is set to 2, for example, when the waiting state is waiting for ticking. Since Junko is easier to construct than ticks, the predetermined number of values should be set to a value depending on the waiting state so that the degree of expectation for winning a winning combination does not vary greatly depending on the waiting state. I have to.

When it is determined in step S75 that the number of the waiting tiles is equal to or more than the predetermined number, the process proceeds to step S76, and the reason/unreasonable value associated with the user in the reason/unreasonable value/parent fogging count management table 305 is set to 1 only. Increase. That is, the unreasonable value of the user increases when the user is tempted and the tiles that are not visible to the user include many waiting tiles of the user, when the other user gets up. To do.

When the process of step S76 is completed, the process proceeds to step S77. On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S75 that the number of waiting tiles is equal to or larger than the predetermined number, the process proceeds to step S77 without executing the process of step S76.

In step S77, if the user pulls up the waiting tile and goes up, the number of points that can be obtained is specified. Since the score may differ depending on the waiting tile (that is, the winning combination), in step S77, the lowest winning combination is specified. If the user has not declared dewdrop, the score is specified in consideration of the back drama.

In step S78, it is determined based on the processing result of step S77 whether or not the score is equal to or greater than a predetermined score (for example, 8000 points). When it is determined that the score is equal to or greater than the predetermined score, the process proceeds to step S79, and the reason/unreasonable value associated with the user in the reason/unreasonable value/parent fogging count management table 305 is increased by one. That is, the unreasonable value of the user also increases when the user is raised in a situation in which the expected score value when the user rises is large.

When the process of step S79 is completed, the process proceeds to step S80. On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S78 that the score is equal to or greater than the predetermined score, the process proceeds to step S80 without executing the process of step S79.

In step S80, it is determined whether or not the user has been covered by a parent, the position of the user in this game (parent/child distinction), and the way the user who won the game this time rises (long rise/tsumo rise). Based on When it is determined that the user is parent-fogging, the process proceeds to step S81, and the number of parent fogging associated with the user in the unreasonable value/parent-fogging number management table 305 is increased by one.

When the process of step S81 is completed, the process proceeds to step S82. On the other hand, if it is not determined in step S80 that the user is covered by a parent, the process proceeds to step S82 without executing the process of step S81.

In step S82, it is determined based on the processing result of step S71 whether or not all three users who lost the game this time have been designated. If it is not determined that all of the three users are designated, the process returns to step S71, and if it is determined that all of the three users are designated, the process proceeds to step S83.

In step S83, the waiting state at the time of tempo of the user who has won the game this time is specified based on the hand tile management table 306. In step S84, it is determined based on the processing result of step S83 whether or not the waiting state is waiting for a wait. If the waiting state is a wait for a wait, the process proceeds to step S85, and it is determined based on the processing result of step S22 whether or not the number of tiles on the tile pile is equal to or larger than a predetermined number (for example, 48).

When it is determined that the number of the tiles is equal to or more than the predetermined number, the process proceeds to step S86, and among the reason values set in the reason/unreasonable value/parent cover count management table 305, the three players who lose to the current game. Increase the reason value associated with each of the users of by 1. That is, the unreasonable value of each of the three losing users increases even when many tiles remain on the tile pile and when the other users rise from the difficult waiting state. When the process of step S86 is completed, the process proceeds to step S87.

If it is not determined in step S84 that the wait state is waiting for a wait, or if the number of tiles is not equal to or greater than the predetermined number in step S85, the process of step S86 is executed. No, the process proceeds to step S87.

In step S87, the reason value of the user who has won the game at this time is reduced by 1 from the reason values set in the reason value/parent covering frequency management table 305. In step S88, any one of the four users who have come to this game is designated. In step S89, it is determined based on the unreasonable value/parent fog count management table 305 whether or not the parent fog count associated with the user is a predetermined number (for example, two times) or more.

When it is determined that the number of times of parent fogging is equal to or larger than the predetermined number of times, the process proceeds to step S90, and the reason/fault value associated with the user in the reason/fogging number management table 305 is increased by one. In step S91, the parent cover count associated with the user in the unreasonable value/parent cover count management table 305 is set to 0, and then the process proceeds to step S92. If it is not determined in step S89 that the number of times the user has worn the parent cover is greater than or equal to the predetermined number of times, the process proceeds to step S92 without executing the processes of steps S90 and S91.

In step S92, it is determined based on the processing result of step S88 whether or not all of the four users who have faced the current game have been designated. If it is not determined that all of the four users have been designated, the process returns to step S88, and if it is determined that all of the four users have been designated, the rescue processing this time is ended.

The rating correction process shown in FIG. 14 is executed every time the user-to-player game process shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 is completed. In step S101, it is determined whether or not this battle (one-village battle) has ended based on a parameter indicating the progress of the game. If it is determined that the current battle has ended, the process advances to step S102 to register the ranking of the own user in the current battle in the ranking management table 307. In step S103, the ranking of the latest four battles is specified based on the ranking management table 307.

In step S104, the correction value registered in the rating management table 303 is updated based on the ranking of the four battles. Specifically, the correction value is increased in the negative direction as the rank of the four battles is lower. The rating correction process this time ends when the process of step S104 is completed, or when it is not determined in step S101 that the current battle has ended.

<Effects of this embodiment>
According to this embodiment, the self-advantage level in the mahjong game (specifically, the amount of skill points consumed and the skill activation condition) is controlled based on the reason value associated with the home. Is updated based on the combination of the private tiles of the home when the combination of the private tiles of the other family becomes a combination that establishes the winning combination, that is, the combination of the private tiles of the home when defeated.

Specifically, when the degree of expectation that the combination of the private hand tiles at the time of defeat is a combination that achieves the winning combination is higher than a predetermined degree, the degree of advantage of the private player in the mahjong game than when it is less than the predetermined degree. The reason value is updated so that

This makes it possible to correct the unreasonableness of the current game in the next and subsequent games, and it is possible to prevent the mahjong game from deteriorating due to the unreasonable game being played.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the reason value is updated even when the number of tiles necessary for the combination of the hand tiles at the time of defeat to be a combination that establishes the winning combination is less than the predetermined number (=1). .. With this, it is possible to reflect the number necessary for forming a combination that makes a winning combination into an unreasonable value.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the degree of expectation that the combination of the private tiles of the home at the time of defeat is a combination that establishes the winning combination is a tile that is not exposed to the user (a tile and a tile of the other home that cannot be raised). It is specified based on whether or not the necessary tiles remain in the tiles of the mountain). As a result, the degree of expectation can be specified objectively.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the reason value is updated in accordance with the size of the points given if the combination of the hand tiles of the home is achieved. Thereby, the magnitude of the score can be reflected in the reason value.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the reason value is updated based on the number of times of parent fogging. With this, the number of times of parental covering can be reflected in the unreasonable value.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the skill for favorably advancing the mahjong game is associated with the home, and the degree of advantage regarding the activation of the skill (specifically, the consumption amount of skill points and the skill activation condition) is It is controlled based on the unreasonable value. As a result, it becomes possible for the private player to proceed with the game in an advantageous manner by activating the skill.

Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, when the history of battles of the user several times is a specific battle result, the advantage degree of the user in the mahjong game is higher than that when the battle history is not the specific battle result. Matching of multiple users is controlled to improve. This makes it possible to correct the unreasonableness of this battle in the next and subsequent battles, and it is possible to suppress the deterioration of the interest of the mahjong game due to the unreasonable battle.

<Modification>
Modifications of the above-described embodiment will be listed below.

(1) In the above embodiment, the character operated by another user is assumed as the opponent, but the opponent may be an NPC (non-player character). In this case, 1 to 3 NPCs will face the game in place of the 1 to 3 characters operated by 1 to 3 other users.

(2) In the above-described embodiment, in determining whether or not the self-reason value is increased, it is not considered whether or not the other family has activated the skill or the skill has not been activated. .. However, the unreasonable value may be increased depending on whether or not the skill is activated in the process of raising the other family. For example, if the other person activates the skill and rises, the reason value may not be increased.

(3) In the above-described embodiment, the amount of skill points given to the home is assumed to be the advantage degree controlled based on the own reason value. However, as the degree of advantage that is controlled based on the self-reason value, (3-1) instead of or in addition to the consumption amount, the maximum value of the skill point, the recovery amount of the skill point, and the like. May be. In addition, (3-2) a parameter called sparrow power that comprehensively indicates the strength of the operating character is associated with each house, and the skill points of each house are corrected according to the magnitude relationship of the sparrow power. You may make it control the said sparrow power based on an own unreasonable value. In this case, the sparrow force is positioned as one of the advantages.

(4) In the above-described embodiment, when the user's multiple match history is a specific match result, the advantage level of the own user in the mahjong game is higher than when the specific match result is not. In order to improve, the matching of a plurality of users is controlled. However, the degree of self-advantage in matching a plurality of users may be controlled based on the unreasonable value, instead of being controlled based on the battle history, or based on the battle history.

(5) In the above-described embodiment, a one-village battle is assumed as a battle with a plurality of users, but the battle may be a half-village battle.

(6) In the above-described embodiment, the unreasonable value of the home is increased according to the number of times the other home, which is a child, has moved up in a game played by the home as a parent (the number of times the parent has worn). However, the unreasonable value of the home may be increased according to the number of times the other family has gone up for the discard tile of the home, which is the parent.

(7) In the above embodiment, the reason value is reduced by 1 when the amount of skill points consumed is changed (see step S12 in FIG. 8). However, the reason value may be reduced by 1 when the skill is actually activated, not when the consumption amount is changed.

(8) In the above embodiment, when the user's hand tile is in the tempai state, the process proceeds from step S72 to step S73 in FIG. However, for example, when the number of shunts is 2 or the like, which is different from the tempered state, the process may proceed from step S72 to step S73.

(9) In the above embodiment, the predetermined number of values to be compared in step S75 of FIG. 12 is set to a value according to the waiting state of the user. However, the value of the predetermined number may be different depending on whether or not the user is a parent.

(10) In the above embodiment, the score to be compared in step S78 of FIG. 12 is fixed (8000 points). However, the score may be different depending on whether or not the user is a parent.

(11) In the above embodiment, for a user who is associated with a reason value indicating a value of 1 or more, the skill activation condition of the user is changed to a relaxation condition (see step S13 in FIG. 8), and the user is thereby changed. We try to make it easier to activate the skills associated with. However, instead of changing the skill activation condition to the relaxation condition when the reason value is 1 or more, when the reason value is 1 or more, a specific item is given to the user and the operation of consuming the item is performed. The skill activation condition may be changed to the relaxation condition when performed by the user.

(12) In the above embodiment, the lower the rank of the own user in the latest four battles is based on the battle history, the more negatively the correction value registered in the rating management table 303 is increased, and the weaker the user is than the own user. Are selected by matching. However, based on the battle history, for example, the number of times another user goes up or goes up when the own user has never won during the half-village (a series of battles) or when the own user is the parent. The correction value registered in the rating management table 303 may be increased in the negative direction when the number of times exceeds a predetermined number.

(13) In the above embodiment, a mahjong game is assumed, but instead of this, a card game such as poker or bubbling, or a Hanafuda game such as koi koi may be assumed. When assuming poker, a pattern such as a spade jack drawn on a card corresponds to identification information, and a full house or a straight flush corresponds to a role. In addition, when it is supposed to be koi koi, a role such as a wild boar butterfly or a cup of moonlight is equivalent to a role.
