Next, the configuration of the game board 30 will be described with reference to FIG. On the game board 30, there are a general winning opening 31, a variable winning device 32, a starting winning unit (starting opening) 33, a through gate 34, a variable display device 35, a first special display device 43L and a second special display device 43R, and a variation. The specific lamp 40 and the like are provided. As is well known, when a game ball enters (wins) various prize holes such as a general prize hole 31, a variable prize device 32 as a variable ball means, and a starting prize unit 33, it is detected by various detection switches and the upper plate 19 or A predetermined number of prize balls are paid out to the lower plate 15. For example, if there are 3 balls in the starting winning unit 33, 10 balls in the general winning opening 31, 10 balls in the variable winning device 32. 15 game balls are paid out. In addition, the game board 30 is provided with an outlet 36, and the game balls that have not won various winning openings such as the general winning opening 31 are discharged to the outside of the game area through the outlet 36. .. Further, on the game board 30, a large number of nails are implanted in order to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game balls, and various members (features) such as a wind turbine are provided.

The variable winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which gaming balls cannot be won, and in the jackpot state, the gaming balls are in an open state in which gaming balls can be won. Although illustration is omitted, the variable winning device 32 has a special winning opening which communicates with the rear of the game board 30, a shutter which opens and closes the special winning opening, a special winning opening solenoid for operating the shutter, and a big winning prize. With a count switch 223 that detects a game ball that has entered the mouth, by driving and controlling the special winning opening solenoid and opening and closing the shutter, the variable winning device 32 (special winning opening) is closed and opened. It is switching.

The starting winning unit 33 includes an upper winning opening 33a and a lower winning opening 33b, and a pair of opening/closing members 33c provided on both sides of the lower winning opening 33b for opening and closing. Between the open state in which the game ball flowing down the side of the lower winning opening 33b is guided to the lower winning opening 33b and the closed state in which it is not guided by the opening/closing operation of the opening/closing member 33c according to the establishment of a predetermined condition. The state can be changed with. Incidentally, as will be described in detail later, the starting winning unit 33 includes a first starting winning switch 224a and a second starting winning switch 224b for detecting the gaming balls entered in the upper winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b, respectively. When a game ball is detected by the start winning switch 224a, 224b, a win/loss lottery for deciding whether or not to generate a jackpot state is performed, and special display devices 43L, 43R (and variable display means described later). In the decorative pattern display device 42), a variable display for teaching the result of the win/win lottery is displayed. When the jackpot is won in the win/no win lottery, the jackpot state is given as a special game state in which the variable winning device 32 is opened.

Further, in the present embodiment, there are a low-probability state in which the jackpot is won with a predetermined probability in the win/loss lottery, and a high-probability state in which the jackpot is won with a higher probability than the low probability state in the win/loss lottery. Furthermore, the opening/closing member 33c is opened relatively frequently, and the game ball is easily inserted into the lower winning opening 33c, and the opening/closing member 33c is hardly opened. There are low ball entry conditions that make it difficult to enter. Hereinafter, the low probability state and low entry state is referred to as "normal mode", the low probability state and high entry state is referred to as "time reduction mode", and the high probability state and high entry state A certain state is called "probability variation mode".

Further, in the present embodiment, the normal mode and the probability variation mode are continued until the big hit state occurs, whereas the time reduction mode does not require the big hit state, the special display devices 43L and 43R and the decorative symbol display device 42. When the variable display in 100 is performed 100 times, the display ends and the normal mode is entered.

Further, the jackpot types of the present embodiment include 16-round probability variation jackpot (hereinafter referred to as “16RS”), 7-round probability variation jackpot (hereinafter referred to as “7RS”), and 7-round regular jackpot (hereinafter referred to as “7RN”). There are three types. And, regarding the "16RS", the variable winning device 32 is opened for 30 seconds, or 8 game balls are entered into the variable winning device 32 after the variable winning device 32 is opened. , It is repeated 16 times, while for “7RS”, it is repeated 7 times before the jackpot state ends. Further, the "probability variation mode" is given after the jackpot state of "16RS" and "7RS" is finished, and the "time reduction mode" is given after the jackpot state of "7RN" is finished.

Each of the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R is composed of a 7-segment display device of a type capable of displaying two characters (and dots), and at a position visually recognizable to the player (in the present example, the variable winning device 32). It is installed on the right side). Then, switching display (variable display) is performed on the first special display device 43L triggered by the entry of the game ball into the upper winning opening 33a of the starting winning unit 33, and the game ball entering the lower winning opening 33b. The display is switched (variable display) on the second special display device 43R. The display contents of the special display devices 43L and 43R are directly controlled by a main control device 261 as a main control means described later.

In addition, after the variable display is performed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R, depending on the display mode when the variable display is stopped, the result of the winning/losing lottery, that is, “big hit” or “miss” It is definitely displayed. For example, when a game ball is won in the upper winning opening 33a, the lighting mode (combination of lit segments) is switched and displayed (variable display) at high speed (for example, every 4 msec) on the corresponding first special display device 43L, When a predetermined time has elapsed, one of the lighting modes is stopped and displayed (for example, stopped for several seconds). When the "big hit" is won in the win/no win lottery, the corresponding lighting mode is displayed when the fluctuation is stopped, and the big hit state occurs.

Further, the special display devices 43L and 43R are not only taught that the "big hit" is won, but also about the type of the big hit state, that is, "16RS", "7RS", or "7RN". Is also taught. For example, when “7.7.” is finally displayed (stopped) on the first special display device 43L (or the second special display device 43R), “16RS” is added, and “n. When “0.” is displayed, “7RN” is added, and so on. Further, there is not one stop mode of the special display devices 43L and 43R that teach one jackpot type, but there are a plurality of stop modes, and any one of them is selected and stopped and displayed. In addition, in either one of the first special display device 43L and the second special display device 43R, when the variable display or the determination display is being performed, the other is in the off state ("-" is displayed. However, when the variable display and the determination display are not performed in either case, “−” is displayed in each case.

In addition, when the game ball newly wins the start winning unit 33 during the variable display of the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, the variable display for that amount is the variable display being performed at that time. Is configured after the end of. That is, the variable display is on standby (held). The maximum number of variable displays to be held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, but in the present embodiment, it corresponds to the game ball that has won the upper winning opening 33a and the game ball that has won the lower winning opening 33b. Then, the variable display up to four times (total eight times of variable display) is suspended.

Further, the number of pending variable displays (hereinafter referred to as "first variable display") based on the entry of game balls into the upper winning opening 33a is lit and displayed by a first holding lamp 46a capable of emitting blue light. The number of pending variable displays (hereinafter, referred to as “second variable display”) based on the entry of game balls into the lower winning opening 33b is displayed by lighting the second holding lamp 46b capable of emitting red light. Has become. The holding lamps 46a and 46b are provided in the same number of four as the maximum number of holdings of the first variation display and the second variation display, and are the same as the number of the held first variation display or second variation display. Light. The display contents of the holding lamps 46a and 46b are controlled by a sub control device 262 as a sub control means described later. If a new game ball wins the start winning unit 33 during the big hit state, the variable display for that amount is also suspended.

It should be noted that the suspended variable displays are basically designed to be consumed in the suspended order, but when both the first variable display and the second variable display are suspended (suspended lamp 46a, The second variable display is preferentially consumed when one or more of 46b are lit. That is, unless the second variation display triggered by the winning of the lower winning opening 33b has been exhausted, the first variation display triggered by the ball of the higher winning opening 33a is not displayed. ing. For example, in the state where one first hold lamp 46a is lit, when a game ball enters the lower winning opening 33b and one second hold lamp 46b is lit, the first variation display is postponed, The second variable display is performed first.

The variation specifying lamp 40 corresponds to which of the upper winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b the variation display performed on the decorative symbol display device 42 corresponds to (first variation display or second This is for indicating which is the variable display), and is arranged at a position visible to the player (below the special display devices 43L and 43R in this example). The variation specifying lamp 40 includes an LED whose emission color is blue and an LED whose emission color is red, and emits blue light when the first variation display is being performed on the decorative pattern display device 42, and the second variation. It emits red light when the display is being performed.

The through gate 34 is configured such that the game balls flowing down the game area can pass one by one. As will be described later in detail, the through gate 34 includes a through gate switch 225 capable of detecting a game ball passing through the through gate 34, and is started when the game ball is detected by the through gate switch 225. Along with the entry assist lottery as to whether or not to open the winning unit 33, the normal symbol display device 41 performs a variable display for teaching the result of the entry assist lottery. Then, in the case of winning in the ball entry assist lottery, the lower winning opening 33b (opening/closing member 33c) of the starting winning unit 33 is opened for a specified time after the end of the variation display.

In the variable display device unit 35, a normal symbol display device 41 that variably displays upon passing through the through gate 34, and a decorative symbol display device that variably displays in accordance with the variable display by the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. And 42 are provided. Further, the variable display device unit 35 is provided with the first holding lamp 46a and the second holding lamp 46b, and the holding lamp 44.

The normal symbol display device 41 is configured to be able to light and display "○" or "x" as a normal symbol, and for example, a regular symbol is changed from "○" to "x" → every time the game ball passes through the through gate 34. Switching display (variation display) at high speed such as “○” →. Then, when the variable display is stopped for a few seconds with a “◯” symbol (winning symbol), the starting winning unit 33 (opening/closing member 33c) is opened for a predetermined time. The display content of the normal symbol display device 41 is directly controlled by the main control device 261 described later.

Also, during the variable display of the normal symbol display device 41, when the game ball newly passes through the through gate 34, the variable display for that amount is performed after the end of the variable display performed at that time. Has become. That is, the variable display is on standby (held). The maximum number of variable displays to be held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, but in the present embodiment, it is held up to four times, and the held number is displayed by the holding lamp 44. There is.

The decorative pattern display device 42 of the present embodiment is configured by a liquid crystal display device, and is configured to be able to variably display a decorative pattern as identification information. Further, the display content of the decorative symbol display device 42 is controlled by the sub-control device 262 and the display control device 45 described later. That is, in the decorative symbol display device 42, the sub-control device 262 performs an auxiliary operation based on the command from the main control device 261 so as to correspond to the results displayed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. Display contents are determined, and display control is performed by the display control device 45 based on the determination.

The decorative symbol display device 42 is provided with, for example, three symbol display regions of upper, middle, and lower, and a plurality of types of decorative symbols (for example, numerical symbols with numbers 1 to 9) in each symbol display region. It is sequentially displayed (variably displayed), and then the decorative symbols are displayed in order for each symbol display area (for example, in the order of the upper symbol display area → the lower symbol display area → the middle symbol display area). .. For example, when the occurrence of the jackpot state is confirmed in the main control device 261, a display corresponding to the jackpot is displayed on the first or second special display device 43L, 43R, and the decorative symbol is a jackpot on the decorative symbol display device 42. Is stopped and displayed in a combination corresponding to (for example, the decorative symbols that are stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area, the middle symbol display area, and the lower symbol display area are the same), and the jackpot state is started.

Further, when the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in a combination corresponding to the jackpot, the same decorative symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area, for example, as the previous stage. In this way, the same symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area, and the state in which the variable display is still being performed in the middle symbol display area is the reach state. Of course, just because a reach state has occurred does not necessarily mean a big hit, and there is also a case where it goes off.

In the present embodiment, after the reach state occurs, in the middle symbol display area, the same decorative symbol as the decorative symbol (reach symbol) stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display region and the lower symbol display region is stopped and displayed (Zoro. When the eyes are stopped), the jackpot state is given. Further, in the case of an odd-numbered doublet, “16RS” or “7RS” in which the probability variation mode is given after the jackpot state ends, and in the case of an even-numbered doublet, “16RS”, “7RS”, Alternatively, either "7RN" is added. Also, the combination of decorative patterns other than the doublet basically teaches "disengagement".

A center frame 47 is arranged in the variable display device unit 35 so as to surround the decorative symbol display device 42. A ball entrance 151 is provided in the upper part of the center frame 47, and the game ball entered in the ball entrance 151 is formed inside the center frame 47 and along the side of the decorative symbol display device 42. It is guided on a stage 153 formed below the decorative pattern display device 42 via a warp flow path 152 extending vertically. The game ball guided on the stage 153 falls from the stage 153 to the front game area, or rolls on the stage 153 and then enters a pocket 154 formed in the center rear side of the stage 153. .. Incidentally, the pocket 154 communicates with a guide passage 155 leading to a game area immediately above the starting winning unit 33 (upward winning opening 33a), and the game ball entering the pocket 154 has a relatively high probability. The starting winning unit 33 (upper winning opening 33a) is adapted to enter the ball.

Further, the game board 30 is provided with a rail 50 which is composed of an inner rail constituent portion 51 and an outer rail constituent portion 52 and which guides a game ball shot from the launch device 60 to the upper portion of the game board 30. As a result, the game ball that has been launched in accordance with the turning operation of the handle 18 is guided through the launch rail 61 and the rail 50 into the game area formed between the game board 30 and the glass unit 137.

A return ball prevention member 53 is attached to the tip portion (upper left portion in FIG. 4) of the inner rail forming portion 51. This prevents a situation where the game ball once guided from the rail 50 to the game area returns to the inside of the rail 50 again. Further, a return rubber 54 is attached to a substantially front end portion (upper right portion in FIG. 4) of the outer rail forming portion 52. The game ball that has been launched with a force of a predetermined value or more hits the return rubber 54 and is returned to, for example, the substantially central portion side of the game board 30.

Further, in the present embodiment, the outer rail forming portion 52 is cut off at the upper right portion of the game board 30, and the inner rail forming portion 51 is cut off at the lower right portion of the game board 30. Therefore, the game area is defined by the rail 50 and the inner peripheral surface of the window hole 39 of the resin base 38. However, until the game ball hit by the launching device 60 passes through the return ball prevention member 53, the rail 50 may flow backward, so the parallel parts of the inner and outer rail constituent parts 51 and 52 are removed from the game area. Get burned.

An output port 529 is connected to the VDP 526 via a bus line 531 and a decorative symbol display device 42, which is a liquid crystal display device, is connected to the output port 529.

The CPU 521 of the display control device 45 receives the display command transmitted from the sub-control device 262 via the input port 527, analyzes the received command, or performs predetermined arithmetic processing based on the received command to control the VDP 526. (Specifically, generation of an internal command for the VDP 526) is performed. Thereby, the display control in the decorative symbol display device 42 is performed.

The program ROM 522 is a memory that stores various control programs executed by the CPU 521 and fixed value data, and the work RAM 523 is a memory that temporarily stores work data and flags used when the CPU 521 executes various programs. Is.

The video RAM 524 is a memory for storing display data displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, and by rewriting the contents of the video RAM 524, the display content of the decorative symbol display device 42 is changed. The character ROM 525 is a memory that stores character data such as a design displayed on the decorative design display device 42.

The VDP 526 is a kind of drawing circuit that directly operates an LCD driver (liquid crystal drive circuit) incorporated in the decorative pattern display device 42. Since the VDP 526 is formed as an IC chip, it is also called a "drawing chip", and the substance thereof should be called a microcomputer chip having a firmware dedicated to drawing processing. The VDP 526 adjusts the respective timings of the CPU 521, the video RAM 524 and the like to intervene in the reading and writing of data, and also reads the display data stored in the video RAM 524 at a predetermined timing to display it on the decorative symbol display device 42.

The power supply device 313 also includes a power supply unit 541 that supplies electric power to each unit of the pachinko machine 10, a power failure monitoring circuit 542 that monitors power interruption due to a power failure, etc., and a RAM erase switch circuit 543 connected to the RAM erase switch 323. It has and.

The power supply unit 541 supplies necessary operating power to each of the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 through a power supply path (not shown). As an outline, the power supply unit 541 takes in an AC 24 volt power supply supplied from the outside and generates +12V power supply for driving various switches and motors, +5V power supply for logic, backup power supply for RAM backup, and the like. The +12V power source, the +5V power source, and the backup power source are supplied to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like. The firing control device 312 is supplied with operating power (+12V power supply, +5V power supply, etc.) via the payout control device 311. Similarly, operating power is supplied to various switches, motors, and the like via a control device to which they are connected.

The power failure monitoring circuit 542 is a circuit that outputs a power failure signal SK1 to each NMI terminal of the CPU 501 of the main control device 261 and the CPU 511 of the payout control device 311 when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power outage monitoring circuit 542 monitors the voltage of DC stable 24 V which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit 541, and when this voltage is less than 22 V, determines that a power outage (power outage) has occurred, The power failure signal SK1 is output to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. By the output of the power failure signal SK1, the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311 recognize the occurrence of the power failure and execute the power failure time processing (NMI interrupt processing).

It should be noted that the power supply unit 541 normally outputs the output voltage of 5 V, which is the drive voltage of the control system, for a sufficient time to execute the process at the time of power failure even after the voltage of DC stable 24 V becomes less than 22 V. It is configured to maintain a value. Therefore, the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311 can normally execute and complete the power failure process.

The RAM erasing switch circuit 543 is a circuit that takes in the switch signal of the RAM erasing switch 323 and clears the backup data of the RAM 503 of the main controller 261 and the RAM 513 of the payout controller 311 according to the state of the switch 323. When the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed, the RAM erase switch circuit 543 outputs the RAM erase signal SK2 to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on with the RAM erasing switch 323 being pressed down (including turning on the power by eliminating the power failure), the data in the RAMs 503 and 513 in the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311 are cleared. It

Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 configured as described above will be described. In the present embodiment, the CPU 501 provided in the main control device 261 as the main control means performs the lottery using various counter information during the game. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, a jackpot random number counter C1 used in a win/loss lottery for determining whether or not to generate a jackpot state, a type determination counter C2 used in determining a jackpot type (type lottery), and a decoration A variation selection counter C3 used to determine whether to generate a reach state in the symbol display device 42, an initial value random number counter CINI used to set an initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1, and the first and second special display devices. 43L, 43R (decorative symbol display device 42) 1st variation type counter CS1 and 2nd variation type counter CS2 used for determination of variation display time, etc., and used for lottery (entering assist lottery) of ordinary symbol display device 41 The normal symbol random number counter C4 is used. The variation selection counter C3 is also used for the reach type lottery when the decorative symbol display device 42 is displaced and varied. Further, the variation type counters CS1 and CS2 are also used for the variation pattern selection (effect pattern selection) of the decorative pattern display device 42. Specifically, the variation time of the special display devices 43L and 43R is determined by the determined variation pattern, and the variation mode and the variation time of the decorative pattern display device 42, that is, the effect pattern is determined.

Each of the counters C1, C2, C3, CINI, CS1, CS2, C4 is a loop counter in which 1 is added to the previous value each time it is updated, and after reaching the upper limit value, it returns to 0 which is the lower limit value. Each counter is updated periodically, and the updated value is appropriately stored in a counter buffer set in a predetermined area of the RAM 503 (excluding the random number initial value counter CINI).

In the RAM 503, a special variation holding area as a holding storage area in which each value of the jackpot random number counter C1, the type determination counter C2, and the variation selection counter C3 is stored, and the value of the normal symbol random number counter C4 is normally stored. A variable reserve area is provided. The ordinary variable holding area includes one execution area and four holding areas (holding first to holding fourth areas). In each holding area of the normal fluctuation holding area, the value of the normal symbol random number counter C4 is stored in time series according to the passage history of the game ball to the through gate 34. By adopting the configuration, the variable display on the normal symbol display device 41 can be held up to four times.

In addition, the special fluctuation reservation area includes a first special fluctuation reservation area and a second special fluctuation storage area each including four reservation areas (reservation first to reservation fourth areas), and one execution area. In each of the holding areas of the first special variation holding area, the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the type determination counter C2, and the variation selection counter C3 are time-series in accordance with the winning history of the game balls to the top winning opening 33a. Stored in. In each holding area of the second special fluctuation holding area, the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the type determination counter C2, and the fluctuation selection counter C3 are time-series in accordance with the winning history of the game ball to the lower winning opening 33b. Stored in. By adopting the configuration, the variable displays on the special display devices 43L and 43R can be held up to four times each.

Explaining each counter in detail, the jackpot random number counter C1 is incremented by 1 in order within a range of 0 to 599, for example, and after reaching an upper limit value (that is, 599) as a final value, a lower limit value of 0 as a starting value. It is configured to return to. Usually, when the jackpot random number counter C1 makes one round, the value of the initial value random number counter CINI at that time is read as the next initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1. The initial value random number counter CINI is a loop counter similar to the big hit random number counter C1 (value=0 to 599), and is updated once for each timer interrupt and repeatedly within the remaining time of the normal process. On the other hand, the jackpot random number counter C1 is updated regularly (once in each timer interrupt in this embodiment), and the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 is stored in the jackpot random number counter buffer. Then, at the timing when the game ball wins the upper winning opening 33a or the lower winning opening 33b of the starting winning unit 33, the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 stored in the jackpot random number counter buffer is stored in the special variation holding area. ..

Further, in the present embodiment, the number of values of the jackpot random number counter C1 which is a jackpot in the low probability state (normal mode, time shortening mode) is two, and the value is “7,307”, which is a high probability. In the state (probability variation mode, latent probability mode), the number of values of the jackpot random number counter C1 which is a jackpot is 20, and the values are “7 to 16 and 307 to 316”. In the present embodiment, the ROM 502 is provided with two hit/miss determination tables that are referred to when determining whether or not the value of the jackpot random number counter C1 corresponds to the jackpot, and “7, 307” is a jackpot. There are a first hit/miss judgment table stored as values and a second hit/miss judgment table that stores “8 to 16, 308 to 316” as jackpot values.

In the normal mode, the probability of winning the jackpot in the win/loss lottery (big hit probability) is 1/300, and the variation time in the normal symbol display device 41 for teaching the result of the entry assist lottery is 6 seconds. In addition, when the winning assist lottery is won, the lower winning opening 33b (opening/closing member 33c) is opened for 0.6 seconds.

In the probability variation mode, the jackpot probability is 1/30, which makes it easier to hit the jackpot than in the normal mode. Further, in the probability variation mode, the variation time of the normal symbol display device 41 based on the entry assist lottery is 2 seconds, which is shorter than that in the normal mode, and when winning in the entry assist lottery, the lower winning opening 33b Is opened three times, and each opening time is 2 seconds. That is, in the probability variation mode, the variation time in the normal symbol display device 41 is shorter than that in the normal mode, and the lower winning opening 33b per winning in the entry assist lottery is longer and the number of times of opening is larger. Become. As a result, since the time slot in which the lower winning opening 33b is in the open state becomes longer, the game balls come into the lower winning opening 33b frequently (become in a high winning state), and the winning/winning lottery is performed. As it is done continuously, it is in a good condition. In the high-ball entry state, the probability that the "○" symbol is stopped and displayed on the normal symbol display device 41 (probability of winning the ball entry assist lottery) may be set higher than that in the normal mode.

In the time shortening mode, the jackpot probability is 1/300. Further, in the time shortening mode, the variation time of the normal symbol display device 41 based on the entry assist lottery is 2 seconds, and when winning in the entry assist lottery, the lower winning opening 33b is opened three times, Each opening time is 2 seconds. That is, in the time reduction mode, the jackpot probability has the same low probability as in the normal mode, but looking only at the operation of the starting winning unit 33, it is the same as the probability variation mode. In the present embodiment, after the jackpot state of "7RN" is finished, the time reduction mode is set over a total of 100 times of variable display performed on the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. In addition, the time shortening mode ends when the variable display is performed 100 times in total on the special display devices 43L and 43R even if the big hit state does not occur, and then shifts to the normal mode.

The type determination counter C2 is configured to be sequentially incremented by 1 in the range of 0 to 19, for example, and after reaching the upper limit value (that is, 19), returns to 0 which is the lower limit value. Further, the ROM 502 is provided with a type determination table that is referred to when determining which jackpot type the value of the type determination counter C2 corresponds to. Then, in the case of winning in the win/no win lottery, the type of the type of jackpot state to be given is determined based on the value of the type determination counter C2 (type lottery is performed), and the jackpot state of the determined type is given. The Rukoto.

The type determination counter C2 is updated periodically (in this embodiment, once for each timer interrupt), and the value of the type determination counter C2 is stored in the type determination counter buffer. Then, at the timing when the game ball wins the upper winning opening 33a or the lower winning opening 33b of the starting winning unit 33, the value of the type determining counter C2 stored in the type determining counter buffer is stored in the special variation holding area of the RAM 503. R.

Further, in the present embodiment, "0" in the type determination counter C2 corresponds to "16RS", "1 to 14" correspond to "7RS", and "15 to 19" correspond to "7RN". There is. That is, in the case of winning or failing the lottery, the ratio of “16RS” is 5%, the ratio of “7RS” is 70%, and the ratio of “7RN” is 25%. Furthermore, in the case where the probability variation jackpot is won, the proportion of odd-numbered double stitches stopped and displayed in the variable display of the decorative symbol display device 42 is 30%. By the way, in the case of "16RS", even if the jackpot type is not taught at the start of the jackpot state, etc., it is possible to understand that the jackpot state is always "16RS" by shifting to the eighth round. it can.

Further, in the case of winning “7RS”, in the case where even-numbered ditches are stopped and displayed during the variable display on the decorative symbol display device 42, the proportion at which the probability variation jackpot is taught during the jackpot state is The ratio is 80%, and it is not possible to determine whether the mode given after the jackpot is finished is the probability variation mode or the time reduction mode at the remaining 20%. Even if the odd-numbered double stitches are stopped and displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, it is impossible to determine which of "16RS" and "7RS" is won at that time. By the way, by grasping the correspondence between the stop display pattern of the special display devices 43L and 43R and the jackpot type, by confirming the stop display pattern of the special display devices 43L and 43R, the jackpot type can be surely grasped. However, it is practically difficult to understand the above correspondence because the patterns of the stop display of the special display devices 43L and 43R are various, and at this point, the jackpot type is unknown. By doing so, the interest can be improved.

The variation selection counter C3 is configured to be sequentially incremented by 1 in the range of 0 to 238, for example, and after reaching the upper limit value (that is, 238), returns to the lower limit value 0. In the present embodiment, the variation selection counter C3 causes a reach state with respect to a decorative symbol, and then a final stop symbol shifts by one before and after the reach symbol and stops, so that a reach state similarly occurs. After that, the final stop design is determined to be stopped except before and after the reach design, "reach other than out of front and rear" and "complete removal" in which the reach state does not occur. In the present embodiment, the reach determination table that stores the correspondence between the value of the variation selection counter C3 and the reach type is provided in the ROM 502. A value of “0 to 238” is stored in the reach determination table, C3=0,1 corresponds to the out-of-front/reach reach, C3=2 to 21 corresponds to the reach other than the out-of-front/rear reach, and C3=22 to 238 is complete. It has a structure that corresponds to the disconnection.

The fluctuation selection counter C3 is updated regularly (once in each timer interrupt in this embodiment), and the value of the fluctuation selection counter C3 is stored in the fluctuation selection counter buffer. The value of the variation selection counter C3 stored in the variation selection counter buffer is stored in the special variation holding area of the RAM 503 at the timing when the game ball wins the upper winning opening 33a or the lower winning opening 33b of the starting winning unit 33. It

Further, of the two fluctuation type counters CS1 and CS2, one fluctuation type counter CS1 is sequentially incremented by 1 in the range of 0 to 59, for example, and reaches the upper limit value (that is, 59), and then the lower limit value. The variation type counter CS2 is configured to return to 0, and the other variation type counter CS2 is incremented by 1 in the range of 0 to 37, for example, and after reaching the upper limit value (that is, 37), returns to the lower limit value of 0. Has become. For example, the first variation type counter CS1 determines the so-called normal reach, super reach, premium reach, etc. reach patterns of decorative symbols and other rough symbol variation modes, and the second variation type counter CS2 determines the final stop symbol after the reach occurs. A finer pattern variation mode such as the elapsed time until the stop (in this example, the medium pattern) is determined. Therefore, by combining these fluctuation type counters CS1 and CS2, it is possible to easily realize a variety of fluctuation patterns. Further, it is also possible to determine the symbol variation mode only by the first variation type counter CS1, or it is also possible to determine the symbol variation aspect by combining the first variation type counter CS1 and the stop symbol.

The fluctuation type counters CS1 and CS2 are updated once every time a normal process described later is executed, and are repeatedly updated within the remaining time of the normal process. Then, the buffer values of CS1 and CS2 are acquired when the variation pattern is determined by the decoration symbol display device 42 when the variation of the decoration symbol is started.

The size and range of each counter are merely examples and can be changed arbitrarily. However, it is desirable that the jackpot random number counter C1, the type determination counter C2, the variation selection counter C3, and the variation type counters CS1 and CS2 have different prime numbers and are not synchronized in any case.

Further, the normal symbol random number counter C4 is configured to be added one by one in order within the range of 0 to 9, for example, and is configured as a loop counter that returns to the lower limit value of 0 after reaching the upper limit value (that is, 9). The random number counter C4 is updated regularly (once in each of the timer interrupts in this embodiment), and the value of the normal symbol random number counter C4 is acquired when the game ball passes through either the left or right through gate 34. The number of random number values is 6, and the range is “3 to 8.” When the value of the winning normal symbol random number counter C4 is acquired, the variable display is predetermined in the normal symbol display device 41. After the time has elapsed, the symbol corresponding to the winning (“◯” in this example) is stopped and displayed, and the lower winning opening 33b (opening/closing member 33c) is opened in a pattern according to the game mode at that time.

Now, in the present embodiment, the player simply exchanges data relating to the game of the player between the pachinko machine 10 and the server operated by the game machine maker via the portable communication terminal carried by the player, so that the player simply It is configured to receive services that cannot be obtained simply by playing games. Hereinafter, such a game system will be described. In the present embodiment, a gaming system is configured by the pachinko machine 10, the mobile communication terminal operated by the player, and the server.

First, the overall schematic configuration of the game system will be described with reference to FIG. As a method of transmitting information from the pachinko machine 10 to the mobile communication terminal, a QR code (registered trademark) as code information that is a two-dimensional code is displayed on the decorative pattern display device 42 and read by the mobile communication terminal. Done. In the mobile communication terminal, by reading the QR code, the character string information in the URL format can be obtained by the conversion application (bar code reader) preinstalled in the mobile communication terminal and is included in the character string information. Access the server based on the server address information.

The server issues a password based on various information included in the character string information in response to a request from the mobile communication terminal. Then, the player manually inputs the password into the pachinko machine 10 to play a game in which various information included in the character string information is reflected.

Next, the configuration of the pachinko machine 10 side will be described. In the present embodiment, when the effect button 125 is operated in a state where the variable display or the like is not performed, the menu screen is opened on the decorative pattern display device 42. Here, a process (menu display process) related to the menu operation performed by the sub control device 262 will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in step S1101, it is determined whether or not the special display devices 43L and 43R (decorative pattern display device 42) are being variably displayed. If a positive determination is made in step S1101, the present process ends.

When a negative determination is made in step S1101, it is determined in step S1102 whether or not the jackpot state is in progress. If an affirmative decision is made in step S1102, the present processing is terminated. When a negative determination is made in step S1102, it is determined whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated in step S1103. When a negative determination is made in step S1103, this processing is ended as it is.

If an affirmative decision is made in step S1103, it is decided in step S1104 whether or not the menu screen is being displayed. When a negative determination is made in step S1104, the menu screen (top menu) is displayed on the decorative pattern display device 42 in step S1105, and then this processing is ended.

As shown in FIG. 11, on the menu screen (top menu), "password input (start of game)", "code issuance (first registration/end of game)", "stage select", "customize", "end" operation The item is displayed. Then, when the cross button 126 is operated to move the cursor and the effect button 125 is operated, the corresponding sub page is opened (or the menu screen is closed).

If an affirmative decision is made in step S1104, a password select operation (operate the effect button 125 with the cursor placed on the operation item of "password input (start of game)" in step S1106). It is determined whether or not. If an affirmative decision is made in step S1106, the password input screen is displayed in step S1107, and then this processing ends.

As shown in FIG. 12, in the password input screen, "AZ" and "1 to 9" alphanumeric characters used for the password, "one character erase", "decide", and "return" selection items are displayed. At the same time, in order to display the eight-character word input as the password separately for each character, a word display unit composed of eight horizontally arranged frames is displayed. In addition, the password input screen shows an alphanumeric character used for the password, an input cursor indicating which one of "Delete one character", "Enter", and "Back" is selected, and a word display consisting of eight frames. An input location cursor that indicates which frame the alphanumeric character is input to when an alphanumeric character is selected with the input cursor and input operation is displayed.

In the present embodiment, the upper three digits (three characters on the left side) of the password indicate the information set according to the game information, which is the information about the game of the player, and the lower five digits (the five characters on the right side). Information set in accordance with selection information (and remaining information to be described later when the remaining information is set), which is information relating to the player's hobbies and preferences, is indicated by (characters). By dividing the information in this way, it becomes easier to read the contents of the password when executing the process corresponding to the password on the pachinko machine 10 side, and the process can be simplified.

In the present embodiment, by inputting the password issued from the server, the balance of the production is changed, or is derived in the case of no-mobile-linked game, as compared with the case of playing the game without inputting the password. There are times when it is possible to derive a unique production. Hereinafter, a game performed by inputting a password is referred to as a "mobile interlocking game", and a game performed without inputting a password is referred to as a "non-mobile interlocking game".

If a negative decision is made in step S1106, in step S1108, the code operation (operating the effect button 125 with the cursor placed on the operation item of “code issuance (first registration/end of game)”). It is determined whether or not it has been performed. If an affirmative decision is made in step S1108, the code issuing screen is displayed in step S1109, and then this processing ends.

Although illustration is omitted, on the code issuance screen, operation items of “first registration”, “code issuance (end of game)”, and “return to top menu” are displayed. In addition, a QR code is displayed on each sub-page corresponding to "code issuance (initial registration/end of game)".

If a negative determination is made in step S1108, it is determined in step S1110 whether or not a stage select operation (operating the effect button 125 with the cursor on the operation item of “stage select”). Determine. If an affirmative decision is made in step S1110, then in step S1111, the stage select screen is displayed and then this processing ends.

In the present embodiment, in a normal game state in which variable display is performed, three stages are provided: a diving stage, a cruising stage, and a deep sea search stage in which the production method changes as well as the background and characters that appear. Correspondingly, selection items respectively corresponding to these three stages are displayed on the stage selection screen, and by moving the cursor and operating the effect button 125, it is possible to shift to the corresponding stage. .. When the selection operation is performed, the menu screen is automatically closed. Further, when the effect button 125 is operated during the variable display (in a state where the button effect using the effect button 125 is not performed), the stages are switched one by one each time the operation is performed.

If a negative determination is made in step S1110, it is determined in step S1112 whether or not a customization operation (operating the effect button 125 with the cursor placed on the operation item of "customize"). .. If an affirmative decision is made in step S1112, a customization screen is displayed in step S1113, and then this processing ends.

In the present embodiment, as the customization function, the design of the appearing character displayed on the decorative pattern display device 42 of the pachinko machine 10 is slightly changed, the player selects a character or a sound appearing in a predetermined effect, or the like. Can do things Further, in the non-mobile interlocking game, the customizing function cannot be used, but the mobile interlocking game is configured so that the customizing function is gradually enhanced by clearing a predetermined condition regarding the game.

When a negative determination is made in step S1112, it is determined in step S1114 whether or not an end operation (operating the effect button 125 with the cursor placed on the operation item “end”). If an affirmative decision is made in step S1114, then in step S1115 the menu screen is closed and then this processing ends. On the other hand, if a negative decision is made in step S1114, the present process is terminated.

Next, processing relating to password input (password input processing) will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S1201, it is determined whether or not the password input screen is open on the decorative pattern display device 42. When a negative determination is made in step S1201, this processing is ended as it is. On the other hand, if an affirmative decision is made in step S1201, it is decided in step S1202 whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated. When a negative determination is made in step S1202, this processing is ended as it is.

When an affirmative determination is made in step S1202, it is determined in step S1203 whether or not the input operation is to return to the top menu. When an affirmative determination is made in step S1203, the process proceeds to step S1204, the top menu is displayed on the decorative pattern display device 42, and then this process ends.

On the other hand, when a negative determination is made in step S1203, it is determined in step S1205 whether or not the mobile linked game is being performed. If an affirmative decision is made in step S1205, this processing ends immediately. On the other hand, if a negative decision is made in step S1205, it is decided in step S1206 whether or not the operation is an input operation of each word constituting the password. If an affirmative decision is made in step S1206, then in step S1207, the processing of displaying the word designated by the input cursor on the frame of the word display portion designated by the input location cursor is performed, and then this processing is ended.

When a negative determination is made in step S1206, it is determined in step S1208 whether or not the operation is to erase one character of the word input on the word display unit. If an affirmative decision is made in step S1208, in step S1209, if the word of the frame designated by the input location cursor in the word display portion or the word has not yet been input in the frame designated by the input location cursor. In this case, the word of the previous (one left) frame is erased, and then this process is terminated.

In addition, in the case of negative determination in step S1208, that is, when the player has finished inputting the password on the word display unit and operates the effect button 125 in a state where the input cursor is aligned with the operation item of “OK” In step S1210, password authentication processing is performed. In a succeeding step S1211, it is determined whether or not the inputted combination of words is registered as a combination of passwords. That is, not all of the above-mentioned combinations of alphanumeric characters are used as passwords, but some combinations are not used.

If an affirmative decision is made in step S1211, an input error display process is carried out in step S1212, and then this process ends. That is, in the input error display process, a display such as "password is wrong" is displayed, and operation items for which the player's consent is obtained are displayed with the cursor being selected from the beginning, and the player operates the effect button 125. Then, the setting for returning to the password input screen is performed.

If a negative determination is made in step S1211, a password reflection process for reflecting the information included in the input password in the game of the pachinko machine 10 is performed in step S1213. As will be described in detail later, a variation rank given to the password according to the number of times of variation display (variation number) performed on the special display devices 43L and 43R (decorative pattern display device 42) when the player plays a game. And whether or not the jackpot rank to be given according to the number of times the jackpot state has occurred (the number of jackpots) and the first to third premium reach as predetermined specific effects have been derived. In addition to including the information about the history rank that is given according to the information, the player also includes information such as the player's preference regarding the game.

After step S1213, the remaining number setting process is performed in step S1214, and then this process ends. Details of the remaining number setting process and the password reflection process will be described later for convenience of description.

Next, a process relating to the issuance of the QR code (code issuing process) will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S1301, it is determined whether or not the code issuing screen is open on the decorative symbol display device 42. When a negative determination is made in step S1301, this processing ends as it is. On the other hand, if a positive determination is made in step S1301, it is determined in step S1302 whether the production button 125 has been operated. When a negative determination is made in step S1302, this processing is ended as it is.

On the other hand, if a positive determination is made in step S1302, it is determined in step S1303 whether or not the input operation is to return to the top menu. When a negative determination is made in step S1303, it is determined in step S1304 whether or not the mobile linked game is being performed. When a negative determination is made in step S1304, this processing is ended as it is.

If an affirmative decision is made in step S1304, it is decided in step S1305 whether or not it is the initial registration. When a negative determination is made in step S1305, in step S1306, a QR code is set based on the game data of the player, and the decorative symbol display device 42 displays the QR code.

In the present embodiment, the QR code displayed on the sub-page of "Code issuance (end of game)" is the gaming machine ID that identifies the pachinko machine 10, the address of the server operated by the gaming machine manufacturer, and the lottery performed during the game. The game information, which is information about the game, and the selection information, which is information about the selection made by operating the cross button 126 and the effect button 125, are included, and are read by a mobile communication terminal to be represented by a character string in a URL (Uniform Resource Locator). Converted to information. That is, on the display of the mobile communication terminal, the character string indicating the address of the server, the character string indicating the game information, and the like are displayed, and the game information and the like are transmitted to the server by accessing the server. Become.

The sub control device 262 of the present embodiment includes a game information storage area as a game information storage means capable of accumulating and storing game information, and a selection information storage area as a selection information storage means capable of accumulating and storing selection information. There is.

The game information of the present embodiment includes the number of fluctuations, the number of jackpots, and information on whether or not the first to third premium reach have been derived. Correspondingly, in the game information storage area, a variation counter that counts the number of variations in the mobile-linked gaming state, a jackpot number counter that counts the number of jackpots in the mobile-linked gaming state, and a first number in the mobile-linked gaming state. -Three experienced flags that are turned on when the third various premium reach is derived are provided. Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the variation number counter and the jackpot number counter constitute the game information counting means.

Incidentally, only the first premium reach among the first to third premium reach can be derived in the initial state even in the non-mobile interlocking game state or the mobile interlocking game state. On the other hand, if the first premium reach is derived even once in the mobile interlocking game state, the second premium reach can be derived in the subsequent mobile interlocking game state and has already been derived. The derivation probability of the first premium reach is increasing. When the second premium reach is derived while the second premium reach is derivable, the third premium reach is derivable and the first and second premiums that have already been derived. The reach derivation probability is increasing. Furthermore, when the third premium reach is derived in a state where the third premium reach is derivable, the derivation probabilities of the first to third premium reach are increased.

In addition, in the mobile interlocking game state, when the first premium reach is derived, the first experienced flag is turned on, and when the second premium reach is derived, the second experienced flag is turned on and the third premium is turned on. When the reach is derived, the third experienced flag is turned on. By the way, the premium reach corresponds to “16RS”, and when the premium reach is derived, it can be understood that the jackpot state of “16RS” occurs at that time. In the present embodiment, as the probability of occurrence of premium reach increases, the probability that odd-numbered double stitches stop at the time of stop display of variable display when the probability variation jackpot is won is configured to decrease by that much. ..

In addition, the selection information of the present embodiment includes the number of fluctuations in each stage in the normal gaming state, that is, the “diving stage”, the “cruising stage”, and the “deep sea search stage”.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, three stages are also prepared for the jackpot state. More specifically, in the present embodiment, when an even-numbered doublet is stopped and displayed in the variable display, it is actually a probability variation jackpot, and when an odd-numbered doublet is stopped and displayed, it is actually “16RS”. That is, at the start of the jackpot round, the "sudden notification stage", at the end of the seventh round, the "final notification stage", and at any one of the first to seventh rounds, the player presses the production button 125 or the like. There is a "chance production stage" where the promotion production to participate by operation is derived. Then, a selection screen for selecting a stage is displayed at the start of the jackpot state, and when the cursor is operated with the cross button to the option corresponding to the desired stage, the effect button 125 is operated, and the jackpot round is started on the corresponding stage. Becomes In the present embodiment, the number of selections of each of the “suddenly notify stage”, the “final notify stage”, and the “chance production stage” is also selection information.

In addition, in the present embodiment, a display prompting the user to operate the effect button 125 is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, whether or not the operation (press) of the effect button 125 is performed within the set period, and the number of operations of the effect button 125 (the number of consecutive hits). ), the button effect may be performed such that the effect that is derived changes. In the present embodiment, information regarding whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated during such button effect and how many times the effect button 125 has been operated are also selection information.

Correspondingly, in the selection information storage area, a stay stage counter that counts the number of fluctuations at the "diving stage", "cruising stage", and "deep sea exploration stage" respectively, and "sudden notice stage" and "final notice stage" The jackpot stage selection counter that counts the number of selections of “Stage” and “Chance production stage” respectively, the button counter that is counted when the production button 125 is not operated at the time of button production, and the production button 125 when button production is performed. A continuous hit counter is provided for counting the total number of operations. In particular, in this embodiment, two sets of stay stage counters, jackpot stage selection counters, button counters, and continuous hit counters are provided for personal use and statistics use.

Furthermore, in this embodiment, a questionnaire may be implemented during the jackpot state. For example, at the start of the jackpot state, only when the value of the questionnaire implementation counter that can take the value of “0 to 16” is acquired and the value is “1”, at the start of the second round, the decorative pattern A questionnaire display is derived on the display device 42.

As the questionnaire display, first, a screen asking whether or not to cooperate with the questionnaire is displayed, and only when there is an input to operate the effect button 125 and the cross button 126 to cooperate with the questionnaire, the next page of the questionnaire display is displayed. If there is an input operation to the effect that it does not cooperate, or if the corresponding input operation has not been performed even after the lapse of a predetermined period (even after the round in which the questionnaire display was started), It is supposed to end the display.

Corresponding to this, the sub-control device 262 has a questionnaire result storage area in which information about the answers to the questionnaire (questions and answers) is stored.

Then, in step S1304, the stored contents of the variation number counter, the jackpot number counter, and the experienced flag, which are the game information, and the stay stage counter, the jackpot stage selection counter, the button counter, and the continuous hit counter, which are the selection information, are individuals. The storage contents for both statistics and statistics and the storage contents in the questionnaire result storage area are encoded and included in the QR code.

Further, on the display of the mobile communication terminal that has read the QR code, as shown in the upper center of FIG. 15, following the character string indicating the server address, the variable display count, the jackpot count, and the first to third premium reach are displayed. Information on whether or not it has been derived, the number of fluctuations on the "diving stage", the number of fluctuations on the "cruising stage", the number of fluctuations on the "deep sea search stage", the number of selections on the "sudden notice stage", and the "final notice stage" The number of selections, the number of selections of the “chance production stage”, the type of the executed questionnaire, and information indicating the answer are displayed. Note that, in FIG. 15, for convenience, a character string indicating game information or selection information is indicated by ".".

Further, in the present embodiment, "-" is used as a delimiter of character strings indicating each game information and each selection information. In addition, the number of characters forming each character string indicating each game information and each selection information is not constant, and for example, when the number of fluctuations is one, it is one character, and when it is 5000, it is four characters. It changes according to the contents to be shown. That is, by determining the order in which the character strings indicating the game information and the selection information are arranged and the delimiter character, the number of character strings indicating each information can be changed. As a result, the number of characters can be reduced as much as possible when the amount of information is small, and the communication time can be reduced (the communication fee can be suppressed).

By the way, as a character string indicating game information or selection information, for example, if the number of fluctuations is 1000 and the number of jackpots is 2, it is simply “1000-02” or the like of the mobile communication terminal. Although it may be displayed on the display, if the correspondence is such an easy-to-understand display, the mobile communication terminal may tamper with such numbers and send false information to the server. There is. Therefore, in the present embodiment, such game information and selection information are encrypted, and if, for example, the number of fluctuations is 1,000 and the number of jackpots is two, then "E7L1-MQT" or the like is used as the game. The display of the mobile communication terminal is displayed so that the person does not know the correspondence between the character string and the specific content (the number of changes, etc.). Further, since the pachinko machine 10 side and the server side have the same rules regarding encryption (encryption/decryption), it is possible to reliably exchange information.

In addition, when many kinds of questionnaires are carried out from the transmission of the previous game information or selection information to the present, there is a possibility that the amount of data in the next transmission of the game information or selection information becomes enormous. Even if the questionnaire is not implemented as in the present embodiment, the next game information or selection information is set even when the number of types of information stored and stored as game information or selection information to be sent to the server is set to be larger. There is a risk that the amount of data in the transmission of the data will be huge. In this case, it is possible to set the upper limit of the amount of information transmitted at one time in order to suppress the communication time and the communication charge. In such a configuration, when the amount of information is small, the number of characters is reduced as much as possible to increase the number of types of information that can be sent at one time, or the information cannot be sent in the previous transmission and is accumulated on the pachinko machine 10 side. Information can be included and sent. Further, the character used for delimiting the character string is not particularly limited and can be set as appropriate. Furthermore, a plurality of types of characters are used as delimiters, and the type of delimiter and a predetermined meaning are used. May be associated. In addition, although the delimiter is set between the character strings, it is possible to add a predetermined character to the beginning of each character string and use the character as a substitute for the delimiter. In addition, when indicating 0 times or that the predetermined condition is not satisfied, it may be indicated by a character string other than the initial character, but it is configured to indicate that by arranging delimiter characters continuously. May be. In this case, the number of characters can be further reduced.

In this embodiment, the stage and button effects selectable by the player's operation of the effect button 125 and the cross button 126 constitute the selected effect. Furthermore, the stage which is changed by such button operation and the function capable of deriving a button effect constitute a selection effect deriving means.

On the other hand, if an affirmative decision is made in step S1305, a QR code corresponding to the initial registration is set and displayed in step S1307, and then this processing is ended. The QR code displayed on the "first registration" subpage includes the gaming machine ID, the URL of the server, and information indicating that this is the first game. The QR code registered for the first time does not include game information and selection information, but the QR code from the next time onward is configured to always include both game information and selection information.

If a positive determination is made in step S1303, it is determined in step S1308 whether or not the QR code is being displayed. If an affirmative decision is made in step S1308, then in step S1309 a process of deleting the game data of the individual player stored in the pachinko machine 10 is carried out, and then this process ends. More specifically, in step S1309, the fluctuation number counter, the jackpot number counter, and the experienced flag are reset (the counter value is 0 and the flag is turned off), and the stay stage counter, the jackpot stage selection counter, The button counter and the personalized one of the continuous hit counters are reset.

The statistics for the stay stage counter, the jackpot stage selection counter, the button counter, and the continuous hit counter are not reset at this point. Also, the questionnaire result storage area is only for statistics. Then, the storage area for statistics and the questionnaire result storage area are configured to be able to store selection information for one week separately for each day. It is configured to be erased.

Further, in the present embodiment, the variation number counter, the big hit number counter, the stay stage counter for personal use, the big hit stage selection counter, the button counter, the count to the continuous hit counter, and the storage to the experienced flag are mobile interlocking games. Only done to. On the other hand, the stay stage counter for statistics, the jackpot stage selection counter, the button counter, the count to the continuous hit counter, and the storage in the questionnaire result storage area are performed not only in the mobile linked game but also in the non-mobile linked game. Be seen. Corresponding to these configurations, the QR code includes game information and selection information of each player, and selection information and questionnaire information for one week including not only the player but also other players. Set to be included.

When a negative determination is made in step S1308, the process proceeds to step S1310, the top menu is displayed on the decorative pattern display device 42, and then this process is ended. In the present embodiment, the decorative symbol display device 42 corresponds to the display device, and the function of displaying the QR code on the decorative symbol display device 42 constitutes the information output device.

Next, processing on the server side (access handling processing) when there is an access from a predetermined mobile communication terminal (for example, a mobile phone, a smartphone, etc.) will be described with reference to FIG. The mobile communication terminal includes a reading means (camera, decoder, etc.) capable of reading the QR code displayed on the decorative pattern display device 42, a communication means capable of communicating with the server, and data supplied from the server (web page). Etc.) and a portable display means (display) capable of displaying In addition, the server, from the mobile communication terminal, a fluctuation number counter, a jackpot number counter, and an experienced flag, a stay stage counter for personal and statistics use, a jackpot stage selection counter, a button counter, and a continuous hit counter, and a questionnaire result. When the information with the storage area is sent, the host side game information storage area including the host side variation number counter, the host side jackpot number counter, and the host side experienced flag so that these information can be stored ( Host side selection information storage area (host side game information storage means), host side stay stage counter for personal and statistics, host side jackpot stage selection counter, host side button counter, host side continuous hit counter (host side game) An information storage means) and a host side questionnaire result storage area are provided. Further, in the present embodiment, the host side variation number counter and the host side jackpot number counter constitute the host side game information counting means.

First, in step S1401, it is determined whether or not there is an access from a mobile communication terminal. When a negative determination is made in step S1401, this processing is ended as it is. When an affirmative decision is made in step S1401, it is decided in step S1402 whether or not the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal includes information indicating that it is the first time.

When a positive determination is made in step S1402, in step S1403, the game that has accessed the storage area on the host side (host side game information storage area, host side selection information storage area) via the mobile communication terminal. A process of setting a storage area (individual game information storage area, personal selection information storage area) for accumulating and storing individual player's game information and selection information is performed.

Subsequently, in step S1404, the process of displaying the web page for the first time corresponding to the access using the QR code for the first time is performed on the display of the mobile communication terminal, and then the present process is ended. More specifically, after the formal user registration, the password for the first time is displayed (the password is issued even if there is no entry in the user registration). The first-time password includes information that the game is the first time. In step S1404, the cookie information is stored in the accessing mobile communication terminal. As a result, the mobile communication terminal will also transmit the cookie information to the server when accessing the server from the next time onward, and the server can confirm the cookie information even if the player does not log in. The player's mobile communication terminal having the stored data is accessed and the corresponding display is performed. It should be noted that the ID password may be entered and logged in each time the server is accessed.

If a negative determination is made in step S1402, that is, if access based on the QR code issued after the first time is received, in step S1405, the number of fluctuations information (changes) is calculated from the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal. The information indicating the value of the number counter is read, the number of fluctuations this time is added to the number of fluctuations already stored in the host side fluctuation number counter, and the calculated value is newly stored in the host side fluctuation number counter.

In subsequent step S1406, the jackpot count information (information indicating the value of the jackpot count counter) is read from the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal, and the jackpot count of this time is stored as the variation count already stored in the host-side jackpot count counter. And the calculated value is newly stored in the host-side jackpot number counter.

Further, in step S1407, the premium reach occurrence information (information indicating the turned-on experienced flag) is read from the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal, and if the occurrence is confirmed, the corresponding host side experienced Turn on the flag.

After that, a variation rank determination process is performed in step S1408. In the present embodiment, the ranking is performed according to how much the player has played the mobile-linked game, and the higher the rank, the more the function of the production is improved, or the balance of the production is changed more greatly compared to the initial state. Or The determination of the rank is basically performed by the server, and in step S1408, it is determined whether or not the number of fluctuations stored in the host-side fluctuation number counter is equal to or greater than a predetermined specified number of times. The rank related to the number of fluctuations (variation rank) will be determined. In the present embodiment, the variation rank can be updated to the second rank by performing the variation display 1000 times in the first rank (initial rank). Further, from the second rank to the third rank, the number of revolutions is 3000, but after that, 5000 revolutions are required to update one rank. If you play the pachinko machine 10 from the opening to the closing of the game in the game hall, depending on the opening hours and the contents of the game, the total number of changes displayed will be about 3000 revolutions, and the second rank and later will be ranked in one day. It is difficult to raise, but if it is the first rank, it can be expected to improve the rank in half a day.

In a succeeding step S1409, a jackpot rank determination process is performed. In the present embodiment, the jackpot rank can be updated to the second rank by executing the jackpot state 10 times in the first rank (initial rank). Further, the number of times from the second rank to the third rank is 30 times, and from the third rank to the fourth rank is 50 times, but after that, 80 times are required to update one rank. In addition, if you play the pachinko machine 10 from the opening to the closing of the game in the game hall, the total number of jackpots will be about 25 times, depending on the business hours and luck. It's difficult, but if it's the 1st rank, you can hope to improve it in a day.

In a succeeding step S1410, a history rank determination process is performed. In the present embodiment, the career rank is such that the first reach is derived from the first rank and only the first premier reach can be derived without having derived the premium reach during the mobile linked game. As a result, it is possible to derive the second premium reach, and the second premium reach is derived in the second rank and the second rank in which the probability of deriving the first premium reach is increased. As a result, it is possible to derive the third premium reach, and the third premium reach has been derived in the third rank and the third rank in which the probability of deriving the first and second premium reach increases. Therefore, there is a fourth rank in which the derivation probabilities of the first to third premium reach are increased.

In the following step S1411, various selection information (information indicating the values of the stay stage counter for both personal and statistical purposes, the jackpot stage selection counter, the button counter, and the continuous hitting counter) is selected from the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal. The process of reading and adding to the corresponding counter is performed, or the process of setting the corresponding flag is performed. In the present embodiment, not only the player's individual selection information but also the selection information of other players who have played the pachinko machine 10 played by the player are transmitted via the mobile communication terminal. The individual selection information of each player is stored in the individual selection information storage area that can store the individual selection information of the player in the host-side game information storage area, and the selection information including other players is the player who plays the same model. The entire selection information is stored in the overall game information storage area. Note that in step S1411, the process of storing the questionnaire information included in the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal in the host-side questionnaire result storage area is also executed.

After that, in step S1412, a process of displaying a web page reflecting the rank determined in steps S1408 to S1410, the accumulated data of the selection information added in step S1411, and the like on the display of the mobile communication terminal. After this, this process is terminated. On the web page, "specifications" for teaching specifications such as jackpot probability of the pachinko machine 10, "personal data management" for confirming individual player's game records, based on accumulated game information and selection information There is an operation item such as "issue password" that can issue a new password. In addition, in the present embodiment, the functions of steps S1408 to S1410 configure a rank determination unit.

Next, the process of issuing a password (password issuing process) will be described with reference to FIG.

First, in step S1501, it is determined whether or not an operation for issuing a password has been performed. When a negative determination is made in step S1501, this processing is ended as it is. When an affirmative determination is made in step S1501, a remaining information determination process is performed in step S1502.

In the remaining information determination process, the current fluctuation rank is confirmed to grasp the next fluctuation rank, and the predetermined value as the total number of fluctuations necessary for updating to the next fluctuation rank is grasped, and from the value. , The value obtained by subtracting the number of fluctuations stored in the host side fluctuation number counter, that is, the number of remaining fluctuation displays required to update to the next fluctuation rank is calculated, and the host side remaining fluctuation number storage area Temporarily store in. Further, it is determined whether or not the calculated number of times is less than 1000 times, and when it is 1000 times or more, the number of times stored in the host-side remaining jackpot number storage area is erased.

In the remaining information determination process, the current jackpot rank is confirmed to grasp the next jackpot rank, and a predetermined value as the total jackpot count necessary for updating to the next jackpot rank is grasped, The value obtained by subtracting the number of jackpots stored in the host-side jackpot counter, that is, the number of remaining jackpots required to update to the next jackpot rank is calculated, and the number of remaining jackpots on the host side is stored. Temporarily store in the area. Further, it is determined whether or not the calculated number of times is less than 30, and if it is 30 or more, the number stored in the host-side remaining jackpot number storage area is erased. In the present embodiment, the function of the remaining information determination processing constitutes the calculation means and the allowable value determination means.

After step S1502, in step S1503, the change rank, the jackpot rank, the career rank, the player's individual selection information, the value of the host-side remaining change count storage area, and the value of the host-side remaining change count storage area are referred to. , Set password Perform password setting process. When a value other than "0" is stored in the host-side remaining variation count storage area and the host-side remaining variation count storage area, the remaining information indicating the value is included in the password, but "0" In this case, that is, when the number of remaining 1000 times or more before reaching the next variation rank or the number of remaining 30 times or more before reaching the next jackpot rank, the remaining information is not included in the password.

The sub-control device 262 of the pachinko machine 10 has a rank storage area for storing a variable rank, a jackpot rank, and a career rank. When is read, the corresponding information is stored in the rank storage area. As a result, it becomes possible to enjoy the effect according to the rank. In the present embodiment, it is possible to select a design of a character that appears in a predetermined effect or a voice pattern to be output at a predetermined timing according to the variation rank and the jackpot rank. Further, for example, when performing super reach, the value stored in the rank storage area may be confirmed and a corresponding effect table may be selected from a plurality of effect tables. The stored contents of the rank storage area are erased at the same time when the QR code issued in the code issuing process is erased (see step S1309 in FIG. 10).

Further, the sub control device 262 has a preference information storage area capable of storing information (preference information) based on the accumulated selection information of the player, and corresponds to the case where the preference information is read from the password. Information is stored in the preference information storage area. As the preference information of the present embodiment, information indicating the most selected stage in the normal gaming state, information indicating the most selected stage in the jackpot state, is there a tendency to operate the effect button 125 for button production? There is information that indicates. And in the password reflection process, when the menu screen display is closed, the process of automatically shifting to the most selected stage in the normal gaming state, and the selection cursor on the stage selection screen at the start of the jackpot state, A process of setting the operation item for selecting the most selected stage so as to be aimed from the beginning and a process of increasing or decreasing the derivation ratio of the button effect (changing the effect table to be selected) are performed. The stored contents of the preference information storage area are deleted at the same time when the QR code issued in the code issuing process is deleted.

In addition, as described above, in the present embodiment, the questionnaire may be conducted during the jackpot state (second round), but the question content of the questionnaire is also reflected by the stored content of the preference information storage area. To be done. For example, in the non-mobile interlocking game state, "How many times has this model been played? 1; First, 2; Second to fourth times, 3; 5 or more times", "How many times per month in the game hall? Would you like to visit: 1 or less once, 2; 2 to 4 times, 3; 5 times or more", "Which stage do you hate? 1; Diving stage, 2; Cruising stage, 3; Deep sea exploration stage" etc. Question content is selected. On the other hand, in the mobile interlocking game state, in addition to the content of the question in the no mobile interlocking game state (may be partially omitted), regarding the stage in the normal game state most selected by the player What do you like? 1; Performance, 2; Character, 3; Others", "What do you like about the performance? 1; Step-up notice, 2; Super reach, 3; Button performance" Selected. It should be noted that the number of questions is limited to three during one jackpot state, and the questionnaire display ends with the end of the third round even if three questions are not answered.

Further, the sub control device 262 includes a remaining variation number storage area (counter) and a remaining jackpot number storage area (counter) as remaining number storage means, and a remaining variation flag and a remaining winning flag corresponding to these areas. When the remaining information is read from the password, in the remaining number setting process (step S1214), the remaining number is set in the remaining variation number storage area and the remaining jackpot number storage area, and the corresponding remaining variation flag and the remaining variation flag are set. Turn on the winning flag. After that, when the remaining variation flag is turned on, the value in the remaining variation number storage area is decremented by 1 each time variation display is performed, and when the remaining winning flag is turned on, each time the jackpot state occurs. The value of the remaining jackpot count storage area is decremented by 1. When the value of the corresponding remaining variation count storage area or remaining jackpot count storage area becomes “0” while the corresponding remaining variation flag or remaining winning flag is turned on, the variation rank or jackpot rank is updated by one rank. As a matter of course, the value of the corresponding rank storage area is changed (added by 1) so that the process corresponding to the new rank is executed.

The remaining variation count storage area, the remaining jackpot count storage area, and the two remaining setting flags are simultaneously reset when the QR code issued in the code issuing process is erased. Further, for example, in response to the rank increase, the decorative symbol display device 42 may display the event display over a plurality of variable displays. That is, by checking the values in the remaining variation count storage area and the remaining jackpot count storage area, the remaining count up to the rank can be grasped, and therefore, the time when the variation display to be ranked up is suspended (for example, the remaining variation count storage area). Or count down the value of the remaining jackpot number storage area at the time when there is a prize in the start winning unit 33 (start prize processing), and when all of the values are withheld or when the value becomes "0", , A part of the variable display (including at least the variable display in which the value of the remaining variation count storage area and the remaining jackpot count storage area is “0”), a series of displays (for example, the remaining variation count storage area and the remaining jackpot count storage area) A display for preparing a party is displayed for a variable display in which the area value is "0", and a party is displayed in a variable display in which the value in the remaining fluctuation count storage area or the remaining jackpot count storage area is "0". At the same time, a predetermined change may be made to the appearing character (for example, clothes may be changed), and the changed mode may be continuously maintained in the subsequent variable display.

After step S1503, the password is displayed in step S1504, and then the process ends. The functions of steps S1503 and S1504 form a password issuing means.

As described above in detail, according to the present embodiment, for the QR code displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 of the pachinko machine 10, the game information accumulated in the game information storage area (variation counter, jackpot). When including a number counter and the value of the experienced flag), selection information (both personal and statistical stay stage counters, jackpot stage selection counters, button counters) accumulated and stored in the selection information storage area , And the value of the continuous hit counter). That is, the player wants to know the information that he/she wants to know in order to use it as a reference material when he/she looks at his/her own game, or to receive the service according to the game history, and to understand the customer needs. Information that the gaming machine manufacturer wants to know is a set. Therefore, by reading the QR code with the mobile communication terminal after the game and communicating with the server, the player can send useful information to the server for both the player side and the game machine maker side. In particular, the selection information is fast, accurate, and wide (reactions can be obtained from a larger number of players), so avoiding situations where the information is outdated, irrelevant, or overly skewed. You can Further, in the present embodiment, a person who selects a predetermined stage can obtain detailed data such that the button is not operated much. As a result, it is possible to sequentially obtain fresh and accurate information, and by making use of such good information, it is possible to work on the development of a new model that meets the expectations of the player. In other words, while retaining the elements that are popular with the players, the goodness of the past is inherited, while conversely, the elements that are not popular are trimmed to simplify them, or replaced with other elements to suppress complexity. While trying new things can be done.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the game information storage area, only the game information in the mobile interlocking game state, which is the period from the input of the password being performed until the QR code including the game information and the selection information is displayed. Remembered. Therefore, it is possible to surely store the game information of each player and to suppress the data storage capacity of the game information in the pachinko machine 10 as much as possible.

Further, in the selection information storage area, a storage area for each player who stores the selection information of each player (in the game) and a statistic that stores the selection information of all the players who have played the pachinko machine 10 The storage area for statistics stores not only the selection information in the mobile interlocking gaming state but also the selection information in the non-mobile interlocking gaming state. Therefore, selection information other than that of the player who sent the data is also sent. As a result, more selection information can be obtained at the server.

In addition, regarding the stored content of the game information storage area and the stored content of the personal storage area of the selection information storage area, a QR code is displayed and it is deleted when the mobile linked game is finished. On the other hand, regarding the storage contents of the storage area for statistics in the selection information storage area, even after the QR code is displayed and the mobile interlocking game is ended, it is not erased and remains. Therefore, it is possible to send more selection information to the server (also send selection information for other players collectively) while suppressing the data storage capacity of the pachinko machine 10 as much as possible. Further, for example, in the case where the stored contents of the statistical storage area of the selection information storage area are deleted when the QR code is displayed, for example, the player displays the QR code at the end of the game. However, in the case where the act of reading the QR code and transmitting it to the server is not performed, the player's selection information (and the game in the mobile linked game immediately before the player plays the mobile linked game is If it has been done, the selection information accumulated and stored at that time is not sent to the server and remains on the pachinko machine 10 side. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, since the stored contents of the statistical storage area of the selection information storage area remain even after the QR code is displayed, there is a possibility that another player may send it to the server. Left behind. Therefore, the operational effect of obtaining more selection information can be more reliably exhibited.

In the server, the game information stored in the host-side game information storage area and the selection information stored in the player-side personal storage area in this example among the selection information stored in the host-side selection information storage area A password corresponding to is issued. More specifically, the password may include not only the rank information indicating each rank assigned according to the accumulated game information, but also the information indicating the player's hobbies and tastes found from the accumulated selection information. Is set to. Therefore, the selection information accumulated by the individual player so far, that is, the player's hobbies and preferences can be reflected in the game, and an effect suitable for the tendency of the player's individual hobbies and preferences can be provided. (In this example, in the normal game state, by entering a password, the player can automatically switch to the stage preferred by the player, or the frequency of button effects can be increased or decreased). As a result, it is possible to improve the game playability by retrofitting, and particularly in the present embodiment, the player feels that the gaming machine becomes familiar to the player as the game is repeated, and plays the game comfortably. You can It is also possible to eliminate the situation in which the player has to perform the same operation each time in order to put the pachinko machine 10 in his or her favorite state (for example, to set his or her favorite stage) within a selectable range. Furthermore, since the production balance changes from time to time in accordance with the accumulation status of the selection information, it is possible to suppress the mannerism.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the questionnaire effect may be derived during the jackpot state. In this way, by conducting the questionnaire, it is possible to obtain information that cannot be grasped by simply counting the selection of the selection effect. For example, it is possible to ask an unpleasant (uninteresting) effect, or ask why a particular effect is liked. Therefore, more information can be collected, and a situation in which a gaming machine that does not meet the needs of the player is produced can be more reliably avoided.

Further, in the present embodiment, the contents of the questionnaire can be changed according to the information (information of the player's hobbies and preferences) based on the selection information included in the password input to the pachinko machine 10. That is, for example, when the player himself has overwhelmingly selected a diving stage in the past, in the decorative pattern display device 42, "Tell me why you like the diving stage. 1; Game tempo ( It is also possible to display such as "Simple place). 2; Appearance character like. 3; Sound like." Therefore, it is possible to conduct a more detailed survey and obtain higher quality questionnaire data. In addition, even if the number of choices is reduced or the number of questions is reduced, it is possible to efficiently shift to detailed questions, and as a player, it is relatively smooth (without feeling too much stress) in the questionnaire. I can answer.

If a large number of questions are prepared and randomly derived, the questions may be biased or may be inappropriate for the player's hobbies and preferences, but in the present embodiment, accurate questions Can be derived. Therefore, the questionnaire can be efficiently performed, more suitable answers can be obtained, and the number of times the questionnaire effect is derived can be reduced. It is possible to suppress the situation of feeling.

In addition, in the questionnaire production, the question of whether to participate in the questionnaire is displayed first, and the questionnaire content (question) is displayed only when the operation indicating participation in the questionnaire is performed, and the operation indicating not participating in the questionnaire If the operation is performed or there is no corresponding operation within a predetermined period, the content of the questionnaire is not displayed. Therefore, it is possible to respect the will of the player who does not want to participate in the questionnaire. In addition, even though the player does not intend to participate in the questionnaire, the contents of the questionnaire are displayed, and the operation is not performed here. It is possible to prevent a situation in which the accuracy of the questionnaire result is significantly reduced due to different selections (simply hitting the effect button 125) and the like.

Further, in the present embodiment, the ranking is performed according to the number of fluctuations, the number of jackpots, and the experience of deriving a premium reach, and the contents of the effect can be changed according to the rank. That is, it is possible to derive an effect that has not been possible until now, or to enhance the customization function. Furthermore, determination of update of rank and accumulation of game information for a plurality of games are performed by the server. Therefore, in order to update the rank, it is necessary to repeat the mobile-linked game, so it is possible for the player to actively participate in the mobile-linked game, and thus to be provided with more selection information. it can.

Further, in the case where the total game information is accumulated and stored on the server side, even if the condition for rank update is cleared during the game, the rank is not updated unless information indicating that is transmitted to the server side. Therefore, the update of the rank is reflected in the next game.

However, the number of fluctuations and the number of jackpots start the game from a short time before reaching the prescribed number of times that is predetermined as a condition for updating the rank, and even when the prescribed number of times is reached early, the game is ended once. There is a concern that it will not be possible to fully enjoy the changes in the production corresponding to the new rank unless the steps of displaying the QR code, accessing the server, and entering the issued password are taken into consideration. For this reason, the player who wants to enjoy the corresponding effect because the condition for updating the ranks is achieved has an extra trouble of temporarily ending the game as described above. In addition, even after the condition for updating the rank is achieved, the number of times of variation and the number of jackpots are accumulated without accessing the server, which significantly shortens the period in which the player can enjoy the performance corresponding to the next updated rank. Or, there is a risk that the condition of jumping one rank up and updating to two ranks up may be achieved, and the opportunity to enjoy the performance corresponding to the rank above one may be lost. There is.

In this respect, according to the present embodiment, in the server, the difference between the total number of executions of the number of fluctuations and the number of jackpots and the predetermined number of times predetermined as the condition for rank update is less than the allowable value (the number of fluctuations is less than 1000 times). When it is determined that the number of jackpots is less than 30, the password is configured to include remaining information indicating the number of fluctuations and the number of jackpots up to the prescribed number. Therefore, it is possible to change the effect corresponding to the update of the rank without ending the game once. Therefore, as long as the conditions for rank update are cleared during a game, it is possible to derive an effect corresponding to a new rank without causing the player to take extra trouble. Further, it is possible to sufficiently give an opportunity to thoroughly enjoy the performance and the like corresponding to each rank.

Furthermore, if the difference between the total number of executions of the number of fluctuations and the number of jackpots and the predetermined number of times predetermined as the condition for updating the rank is greater than or equal to the allowable value, the password will not include the remaining information. ing. In this way, the password does not always include the remaining information, so that the total number of password patterns can be reduced as much as possible. Generally, when entering a password, the combination of words that make up the password must be not only the combinations that are allowed to be entered, but also the combinations that are not allowed. It is necessary to increase the number of words and the number of types of words that can be selected when entering a password. Therefore, by reducing the total number of password patterns as much as possible, the password can be shortened and the number of words that can be selected when entering the password can be reduced as much as possible, improving the operability when the player inputs the password. And so on. As a result, since the password input operation is difficult, the input work is shunned, the game cycle through the mobile communication terminal and the server is stopped there, and the chance of obtaining data (selection information) about the player is reduced. It is possible to suppress the situation of being lost.

Further, the sub-control device 262 of the pachinko machine 10 stores the remaining variation count storage area and the remaining jackpot count storage area that store the remaining variation count and jackpot count required until the variation rank and the jackpot rank are updated to the next rank. And a remaining variation flag and a remaining winning flag respectively corresponding to these, and when the remaining information is read from the password, processing such as setting the remaining number of times in the corresponding storage area is performed. Furthermore, when the mobile-linked game is first performed (or when the game is restarted from the beginning), the password issued by the server does not include remaining information, but includes information that is the first game, Based on the fact that the information is included, processing such as setting the remaining number of times in the corresponding storage area is performed. Therefore, even when the condition of updating to the next rank in the initial rank is achieved, it is possible to suitably change the effect corresponding to the update of the rank, without causing the player to take extra trouble.

In addition, in the variable rank and the jackpot rank, the number of times the initial rank can be updated to the next rank is the smallest as compared with the number of times required for the subsequent rank update. That is, the variation rank requires the variation display of 1000 times from the first rank (initial rank) to the second rank, the variation display of 3000 times from the second rank to the third rank, and the rank thereafter. It is necessary to display the fluctuation display 5000 times in order to update one. In addition, the jackpot rank requires 10 jackpots from the 1st rank to the 2nd rank, 30 jackpots from the 2nd rank to the 3rd rank, and 50 jacks from the 3rd rank to the 4th rank. It requires jackpots once, and thereafter requires 80 jackpots to update one rank. In this way, by relatively loosening the update condition from the initial rank to the update to the next rank, the update condition cannot be achieved even once, so that the playability via the mobile communication terminal and the server is improved. It is possible to suppress the situation where people are not attracted and are shunned thereafter.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the contents described in the above embodiment, and may be implemented as follows, for example.

(A) The contents and number of game information and selection information are not particularly limited and can be changed as appropriate. For example, corresponding to a slot machine as a gaming machine, winning probabilities such as various bonuses and ART (assist replay time) can be set in a plurality of stages, and depending on the setting, the winning probability of a child role is also set. In the case where there is a difference, the winning numbers of child roles having different winning probabilities according to the settings are cumulatively stored in the game information storage area, and by sending them to the server, the server calculates the winning probability of the child roles, The result may be displayed on the display of the mobile communication terminal.

Furthermore, the selection effects selectable by the player are not limited to the stage selection and button effects particularly in the normal time and the big hit state, and may be appropriately changed in place of or in addition to these. For example, after the reach state has been generated, at the timing when the super reach is generated, the player can select one of a plurality of types of super reach by operating the effect button 125 and the cross button 126, and the selection result May be stored and stored as selection information, and a question as to why to select the super reach may be derived in a questionnaire in the mobile linked game. In addition, for example, in association with a slot machine as a gaming machine, accumulation is performed in association with a stage in which the order in which a plurality of stop buttons for stopping each of a plurality of reels are pressed is held or an effect derived at that time. It may be configured to be stored.

In addition, the customization function is not particularly limited, and for example, the design of the appearing character (costume, etc.) and the sound output during the performance are arranged, and the law of suggestion regarding the occurrence of the jackpot state is changed ( For example, in the case where the character pattern is displayed in a balloon on the decorative pattern display device 42 and the color of the character becomes white→red→gold as the expectation for the jackpot becomes higher, when the gold color is derived, The probability of winning is not high, and the winning is sure to be won, the derivation of red and gold colors is stopped, etc.). The customization function is configured such that the higher the rank, the more patterns that can be customized.

(B) Further, in the above embodiment, the questionnaire may be derived in both the mobile interlocking game and the non-mobile interlocking game, but it may be configured to be derived only in the mobile interlocking game, or the mobile interlocking game. It may be configured such that a questionnaire is relatively easy to be derived in a game. In addition, the questionnaire may not be conducted at all.

Furthermore, if you cooperate with the questionnaire, a special animation etc. will be derived in the subsequent jackpot round, or if it is a probability jackpot but it is not possible to determine whether it is a jackpot jackpot, it is a jackpot jackpot. It may be configured such that the effect that teaches that is always performed or the possibility that it is performed is increased.

In addition, the server compares the questionnaire information with the game information, determines whether the questionnaire information matches the game information, and reflects the result on the password, and by extension, on the effect on the pachinko machine 10. Good. For example, if the player who answers "Yes" to the question "Is this the first game of this model?" confirms the game information, the game will not answer the questionnaire correctly, as if the number of games was about 10 times. The ratio of teaching the probability variation jackpot or the probability variation mode to the person relatively late rather than early is large (when special jacks 43L and 43R are checked when a jackpot condition occurs, , If you do not know the correspondence between the displayed content and the jackpot type, even at the end of the jackpot state, it will be relatively easy to sort into patterns that are indistinguishable from the probability variation mode or the time reduction mode). On the contrary, it is possible to appropriately reflect to the player who answers the questionnaire correctly that the probability variation jackpot or the probability variation mode is easily taught at a relatively early stage.

(C) In the above embodiment, the QR code is displayed on the decorative pattern display device 42 as the code information including the server address information, the game information, and the selection information. It may be a dimensional code, a one-dimensional code, or a combination of symbols such as URI (Uniform Resource Identifier), etc. You can add a character string). Further, in the above-described embodiment, the player (the mobile communication terminal of the player) is specified using “HTTP Cookie”, but the player is specified by another method (for example, the player registers the mail address). Good. In addition, a dedicated application may be downloaded from the server so that the mobile communication terminal can read the game information and the selection information from the pachinko machine 10 by a communication method different from that of the above-described embodiment and transmit the game information and the selection information to the server. Good.

(D) The mobile communication terminal is not limited to a mobile phone or a smartphone, and may be a mobile PC having a code information reading function. Further, in the above-described embodiment, data is exchanged between the pachinko machine 10 and the mobile communication terminal by reading the QR code displayed on the pachinko machine 10 with the mobile communication terminal and using the server in response to the request from the mobile communication terminal. Although the issued password is input to the pachinko machine 10, wireless communication such as infrared rays may be used, for example.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the password is input to the pachinko machine 10 so that the game information and the selection information accumulated in the server can be reflected, but a configuration that cannot be reflected (pachinko machine) The password may not be input to 10).

Further, although the data is exchanged between the pachinko machine 10 and the server via the mobile communication terminal, the pachinko machine 10 and the server are exchanged by other methods. It may be configured as follows. For example, the pachinko machine 10 and the server are communicable via a hall computer in a game hall. Further, the player holds the device between the pachinko machines installed in the game hall on the side of the pachinko machine 10 and having a function of lending a game medium (a game ball for a pachinko machine, a medal for a slot machine). A function is provided for reading/writing information from/to a nonvolatile portable storage means (card or the like) capable of storing the number of playing game media. Then, as the player plays the game, the game information and the selection information are sent to the server through the hall computer, and the information corresponding to the game information and the selection information is transmitted from the server side through the hall computer to the inter-unit device. It is also possible that the table-to-table device writes the information to the portable storage means. Further, when the player inserts the portable storage means into the table device and reads the information at the next game, the player can play the game according to the rank information and the player's hobbies and tastes, as in the above embodiment. You may comprise.

(E) In the above embodiment, both the selection information of the individual player and the selection information of all the players who have played each pachinko machine 10 are configured to be stored and stored, but either one or , Both may be omitted. In that case, the storage capacity of the pachinko machine 10 and the server can be reduced. Furthermore, when the configuration is such that the player's individual selection information is not stored, the selection information of a specific player can be obscured, and it will be embossed while the individual's hobbies and preferences are unknown. Can be suppressed). Further, in the above embodiment, when the player agrees to store the personal selection information (for example, at the start of the mobile linked game (before and after the password input operation), the question and the operation item ( Yes/No), or when the user's choice information is displayed on the web page of the server by displaying the question and operation item at the time of initial registration) May be stored.

In the above embodiment, the storage contents of the statistical storage area of the selection information storage area are configured to be sequentially erased after one week has passed, but this period is not particularly limited. Alternatively, for example, it may be after a predetermined number of days (for example, 1 to 14 days) or a predetermined time has elapsed, or after execution of a predetermined number of times of variation (for example, 3000 to 60,000 rotations), or it may be deleted. It may be configured such that there is no program to be erased (all the selection information so far of the pachinko machine 10 is accumulated, and the accumulated selection information is known when the substrate is collected and analyzed).

Further, in the pachinko machine 10, when the code issuance screen is displayed and then closed, the accumulated game information is erased and the selection information is not erased. However, the game information is not erased. The selection information may be deleted at another timing, or the selection information may be deleted at a timing when the code issuing screen is closed. When the selection information is erased at the timing of closing the code issuing screen (the selection information is added on the server side at any time), it is possible to reduce the storage capacity in the selection information storage area.

(F) In the above embodiment, the password includes information based on the stored contents of the personalized storage area in the selected information storage area, and the player's individual hobbies and preferences are reflected in the game. The password may include information based on the stored contents of the storage area for statistics in the selected information storage area, and the hobby preference (popular vote) of the entire player may be reflected in the game.

In this case, for example, a player who is playing the game for the first time is encouraged to first enjoy a popular production or the like to enhance the possibility of attracting the player's interest at the earliest possible stage. It is possible to positively appeal the goodness of the pachinko machine 10 by having the player who has selected only the production try the popular production for trial and discover the new goodness. it can. Therefore, depending on the development of the game and the like, the potential of the pachinko machine 10 cannot be drawn out well, and it is possible to reduce the situation in which the player cannot play the game only for that.

It should be noted that, if the player has little game experience with the pachinko machine 10, hobbies and preferences of the entire player may be reflected, and if game experience is gained to some extent, the hobby and taste may not be reflected. Further, it may be configured that the player can select whether to reflect an individual's hobbies and tastes or to reflect the hobbies and tastes of all the players. Furthermore, such selection may be performed when the password is entered or when the password is issued on the web page, but by setting it on the web page (server side), it is used for the password. It is possible to reduce the total number of words to be used, simplify the process related to password issuance and storage capacity, and reduce the labor related to password input.

(G) Further, when the pachinko machine 10 has little experience in playing the game, the hobby preference of the entire player is reflected, and when the game experience is gained to some extent, the personal taste of the player is reflected. You may. More specifically, when issuing a password, for example, it is determined whether or not the variation rank and the jackpot rank are both “2” or more, and when the determination is negative, the host side game information storage area and the entire host side A password is issued according to the stored contents of the selection information storage area (a storage area for statistics in the selection information storage area), while if the determination is affirmative, the host-side game information storage area and the host-side personal selection information A password may be issued according to the stored contents of the storage area (personal storage area of the selection information storage area). In this case, if the player has little experience in playing the relevant pachinko machine 10 and the amount of data of the individual hobby and preference of the player has not been acquired so much, the hobby and preference of the entire player is reflected in the game, and the pachinko machine 10 is operated. You can positively appeal the goodness. Furthermore, when the player has some experience in playing the corresponding pachinko machine 10, the player's individual hobbies and preferences can be reflected in the game, so that the player can play the game more comfortably. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable game according to the situation.

Further, on the server side, in order to determine which of the personal selection information storage area and the total selection information storage area is to be reflected in the game (which is included in the password), the personal selection information storage area and the total selection information are stored. The number of pieces of information identified from the password, and thus the total number of patterns of the password, can be reduced as compared with the case where the stored contents of both storage areas are included in the password. Therefore, the password can be made as short as possible and the number of types of words used for the password can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the processing relating to the issuance of the password, the storage capacity, and the labor for inputting the password.

(H) Furthermore, the player may be configured to be able to select whether or not the stored content (selected information) in the selected information storage area is reflected in the game. In this case, it is possible to comfortably play the mobile interlocking game using the mobile communication terminal and the server, even for a player with a good balance as it is.

A player's individual selection information storage area or host-side selection information storage area (individual selection information storage area) that accumulates and stores selection information only in the mobile interlocking game state is provided to indicate the intention that the player does not reflect. If the corresponding operation/setting is done, the selection information is not stored and stored in the means for storing the player's individual selection information (a configuration may be asked whether or not to participate each time, or only for the first time. The result may be reflected below) or the structure may be such that the result is accumulated but not reflected.

(I) In the above-described embodiment, the effect button 125 and the cross button 126 are configured so that the decision operation during the selection effect and the password input operation can be performed. A button for inputting a password may be provided separately (a button for operating a menu screen in addition to the effect button 125 may be provided). Furthermore, the operating means and the input means do not have to be buttons. For example, the decorative pattern display device 42 may be a touch panel, and a key input operation may be performed by touching a key displayed on the display unit.

Further, in the above embodiment, the decorative pattern display device 42, which is a liquid crystal display, is provided as the display means, but the display means may be configured by another display device such as an LED display or a segment display device. Further, it is possible to provide a display means capable of displaying a QR code, a password input screen, etc., separately from the display device capable of displaying a pattern such as identification information. In addition, the type and number of characters used for the password are not particularly limited, and hiragana, katakana, kanji, English letters, numbers, symbols, marks, etc. can be used as appropriate.

(J) The game information targeted for ranking is not particularly limited and can be appropriately changed for each model. In the first place, the information targeted by the game information and the selection information is not particularly limited, and can be changed appropriately for each model. Furthermore, the conditions for updating the variable rank and the jackpot rank are not particularly limited, and can be changed appropriately for each model. For example, regarding the update of the jackpot rank, 20 jackpots are required for each of the first rank→the second rank and the second rank→the third rank, and after that, 40 jackpots are required. Good.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the variation count information and the jackpot count information accumulated in the server are less than 1000 times (the number of times that can be achieved by playing a half day), and 30 times (which can be achieved in one day if you are lucky). When the number of times is less than that, the password is configured to include the remaining information, but the password is not particularly limited to such a configuration. For example, if it is a configuration that can grasp the business end time of the game hall, calculate the number that can be achieved in the remaining available time at the start of the game, and compare it with that value It may be determined whether or not to include. In addition, when there is not much time until the store is closed (for example, a few hours remaining), an announcement (display) or the like recommending a stage that is relatively time efficient may be performed.

(K) In the above embodiment, the jackpot probability, the number of jackpot types, the open/close pattern of the variable jackpot 32 of each jackpot type, etc. are not particularly limited and can be appropriately set for each model. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the winning probability in the win/loss lottery varies in the probability variation mode and other modes, but the winning probability does not vary (is constant), and is awarded after the jackpot state ends. The above configuration may be applied to a pachinko machine in which a plurality of patterns of the time shortening mode period (number of fluctuations) are prepared.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, in the case where the jackpot is won based on the entry of the game ball into the upper winning opening 33a, and in the case where the jackpot is won based on the entry of the gaming ball into the lower winning opening 33b, You may comprise so that the ratio of the jackpot type provided may differ. For example, “7RN” is obtained when the jackpot is won based on the entry of the game ball into the upper winning opening 33a and when the jackpot is won based on the entry of the gaming ball into the lower winning opening 33b. Although the ratio is the same, the ratio of "16RS" (in other words, the ratio of "7RS") may be different.

(L) In the above embodiment, the player is instructed to hold the variable display by using the hold lamps 46a and 46b, but the other display means may be used to teach the hold. For example, in the decorative pattern display device 42, an image object that means “hold” is displayed in a one-to-one correspondence with the held variable display so that it can be seen whether the first variable display is held or the second variable display is held. You may.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the game ball enters the lower winning opening 33b that is held after the variation display (first variation display) based on the game ball entering the upper winning opening 33a that is already held. The second variable display is preferentially digested in such a manner that the variable display (second variable display) based on the above is canceled before and after the first variable display, and so on. Although it is configured as described above, the display may be performed in the suspended order regardless of whether it is the first variation display or the second variation display.

(M) You may implement as a pachinko machine of a type different from the said embodiment. For example, movable means that can be changed into a specific area in which a game ball moving in the game area can enter, an open state in which entry into the specific area is allowed, and a closed state in which entry into the specific area is prohibited ( Detecting the game ball that has entered the specific ball entering means, the specific ball entering means and the non-specific ball entering means that can enter the game ball that entered the specific area Specific entrance detecting means (condition establishment detecting means), a starting entrance means provided outside the specific area, into which a game ball moving in the game area can enter, and a game ball entering the starting entrance means It is provided with a starting ball-in detection means for detecting, and a main control means for controlling the opening/closing of the variable ball-in means, and when a game ball enters a specific area, the game ball is a specific ball-in and non-specific A player is given a predetermined number of game values (game balls) regardless of which of the ball entering means, and the main control means, based on the detection of the starting ball detecting means, the variable ball entering means. Variable winning means in which the ball is opened once or a plurality of times only for the first time, or the variable ball entering means is opened for a second time longer than the first time, or the variable winning means is opened. One round until the specified number of game balls is entered, and this is repeated a specified number of times. A winning/winning lottery is conducted to determine whether or not to generate a jackpot state. May be generated, and the jackpot state may be generated when the jackpot is won in the win/loss lottery, and when the specific entry detection means is detected. In this case, the variable winning means corresponds to the variable winning device. In addition, in addition to pachinko machines, it is also used as an arrangement ball machine, a variety of game machines such as sparrow balls, a slot machine as a spinning machine, and a game machine that combines a slot machine and a pachinko machine You may.

(N) In the above embodiment, the upper limit of the amount of data that can be sent from the pachinko machine 10 to the server at one time via the mobile communication terminal may be set. Furthermore, if the data amount of the game information and the selection information to be transmitted to the server is larger than the predetermined upper limit and cannot be transmitted in one opportunity, the untransmitted data will not be transmitted even after the code issuing screen is closed. The information may be left without being erased, and by extension, may be left so that it can be seen that it has not been transmitted.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the amount of game information and selection information accumulated in the pachinko machine 10 and to be transmitted to the server is large (for example, when several days worth of selection information is accumulated), accumulation storage is performed during a game. When converting the played game information or selection information into a QR code, among the types of game information and selection information, there is no storage memory at the time of this game, that is, the number of jackpots is 0, for example. , If there is something that does not derive the premium reach at all, if it is determined, reduce the information display area that should have been used for such information to another The information display area may contain information, or the information display area that should have been used for such information may be used for other information.

That is, when the amount of information to be transmitted to the server is large, for example, when the amount of information of the selection information accumulated is large, it takes a relatively long time to send it at once, Therefore, there is a concern that communication charges will be added to the surplus. For this reason, it is desirable to set the upper limit of the amount of information to be sent at one time, but with the configuration (n), even under such conditions, as much information as possible accumulated on the pachinko machine 10 side can be sent to the server side. As described above, since there is no corresponding information, an unused (vacant) area is searched for, and if found, another area is put and sent using that area.

When the QR code is read by the mobile communication terminal, the QR code is converted into character string information in the URL format, and the order of arrangement is defined between the character strings indicating the game information and the selection information other than the questionnaire information. In addition, at the beginning of the character string indicating each game information and selection information, there is an opening character indicating that it is the beginning of the game information and selection information, and there is no storage storage of the corresponding game information and selection information. In this case, only the corresponding initial character may be set to remain. In this case, the initial character will eventually exist between the character strings indicating the game information and the selection information, so that it will be a delimiter character between the pieces of information, depending on the amount of each piece of information at that time. It is possible to change the number of characters that make up the character string. Further, when there is no storage and storage of the corresponding game information and selection information, that is, when the predetermined condition is not satisfied even if the value obtained by counting the satisfaction of the predetermined condition is the game information, Only the initial character is left, that is, it will be continuous with the initial character corresponding to the game information or selection information in the subsequent order, and by this, the server side knows that there is no accumulated storage of the corresponding game information and selection information. It becomes possible to do. Therefore, the number of characters can be further reduced as compared with the case where the corresponding character string other than the initial character indicates that the corresponding game information and selection information are not stored.

It should be noted that, even when there are a lot of game information and selection information to be sent to the server, and there are various types of information, it is desirable that the highly correlated information be sent at once. For example, in normal times, the information indicating the number of times the "diving stage" was selected, the information indicating the number of times the "cruising stage" was selected, and the information indicating the number of times the "deep sea search stage" were selected at the same time. It is desirable to configure it to be sent. That is, if they are not sent at the same time, it becomes impossible to accurately grasp the value of the number of times each stage is selected out of the number of times of stage changes. Further, in order to grasp what ratio the effect button 125 has been operated with respect to the total number of fluctuations, the information on whether the effect button 125 has been operated is configured to be sent each time it is transmitted. Good. In addition, a shortened URL service may be used.

(O) In the above embodiment, for example, when the position information of the mobile communication terminal is transmitted to the server when the mobile communication terminal accesses the server to issue a password at the start of the game, the game is played on the server. It may be configured such that not only information and selection information but also position information is stored correspondingly, or not only game information and selection information but also a password corresponding to the position information is issued. .. Furthermore, when a password including position information is input to the pachinko machine 10, an effect (local effect) in which the position information is reflected may be performed. In addition, the local production may be performed only during the mobile interlocking game state of the player who transmitted the position information, or even after the player finishes the mobile interlocking game, for example, it continues until the power is turned off. It may be done.

Hereinafter, an example of a mode in which position information is exchanged between the pachinko machine 10, the mobile communication terminal, and the server will be described. The mobile communication terminal of this example has a built-in GPS. For example, when the QR code is read and the game information or the like is transmitted to the server for the first time, a display appears asking if the position information may be transmitted. It should be noted that it is possible to refer to the description of the service that can be used by using the position information on the web page of the server or the menu of the pachinko machine 10.

The first purpose of exchanging position information is to allow the gaming machine manufacturer who operates the server to understand the operating status of the pachinko machine 10 in each region and the preferences of the player. This makes it possible to evaluate customer satisfaction and use it for the development of gaming machines. If location information is added when game information etc. is sent from the mobile communication terminal, the game information etc. by prefecture will be different from that of individual players or statistics of players nationwide. Accumulated. However, it is not always necessary to store all information by prefecture, but only some information may be stored, or multiple prefectures may be stored collectively (Kanto region, Tokai region, etc.). You may comprise.

The second purpose is to have the player enjoy the performance utilizing the position information and to improve the entertainment. Hereinafter, an example of "local effect" using position information will be described with reference to FIG.

In this example, a decorative pattern with a picture corresponding to "local" is set and stored corresponding to each prefecture in the whole country, and depending on the points that the player can obtain by performing a mobile linked game, etc. Then, the "this map pattern" can be made usable (unlocked) as a decorative pattern for variable display on the decorative pattern display device 42. It is to be noted that the symbols with the numerical designs of “1 to 9” shown in the upper and middle rows of FIG. 16A are normally used as the decorative symbols of the decorative symbol display device 42, and FIG. The pattern shown in the lower part of a) is the "this map pattern" that the player has acquired so far.

First, when a player sends position information when accessing a server with a mobile communication terminal to play a mobile-linked game for the first time, the server determines the prefecture in which the player is located based on the position information. At the same time, the password issued in response to the player's request includes information on the position information.

More specifically, on the pachinko machine 10 side, the sub-control device 262 is provided with a local information storage area (47 in total) corresponding to each prefecture, and each local information storage area is provided in each local information storage area. , A crossing flag, a local flag indicating in which prefecture the first mobile-linked game is played, and a local flag indicating in which prefecture the mobile-linked game this time is played. Furthermore, the present map design correspondence table showing the correspondence relation with "this map design" stored in the character ROM 525 of the display control device 45 is provided. Also, as shown in FIG. 16B, the prefectures corresponding to the crossing flag that is set to ON are colored differently so that it can be seen that the crossing has been performed, and the crossing flag is set to ON. It is possible to use "this map pattern" corresponding to the prefecture for the production.

In the first mobile interlocking game, the local flag and the local flag are turned on according to the location information included in the password, and the crossing flag of the prefecture where the local flag (the local flag also indicates the same prefecture) is turned on is displayed. turn on. On the menu screen of the decorative pattern display device 42, it becomes possible to select "national crossing rally". If you select "National Rally", the prefectures for which the crossing flag is set to ON and the corresponding "our map pattern" (a pattern with motifs derived from the local area, famous products, famous places, etc.) (A combination with a number pattern) and the decorative pattern currently used in the variable display (upper and middle rows of FIG. 16) can be displayed, and the decorative pattern to be used is changed to “this map pattern”, or , Operations such as returning to the initial decorative pattern can be performed.

In the "nationwide rally", every time a specified number of points are accumulated in mobile-linked games (for example, 1 point per change, 300 points per big hit, 1000 points per premium reach, 1000 points will be accumulated) (Every time it is stored), the crossing flag of another prefecture whose crossing flag is not turned on can be turned on one by one. By the way, in this example, the order of prefectures to turn on the crossing flag is determined, but the player may select it. The condition that the crossing flag can be set to ON is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, every 500 times of fluctuation display, and/or every 5 times of big hits. Further, the determination as to whether or not the condition that allows the crossing flag to be set to ON is established (point conversion) is configured so that it can be performed not only on the server side but also on the pachinko machine 10 side, and as in the above embodiment, the remaining In the form of information, the number of remaining points required to turn on the crossing flag may be sent to the pachinko machine 10 side so that the new map pattern can be used immediately when the condition is achieved.

In addition, in this example, the player plays a pachinko machine 10 of the same model in a prefecture other than “local” by playing a mobile linked game (sending the position information to the server), so that the crossing flag is not turned on. When the local flag is turned on, the crossing flag of the prefecture in which the local flag is turned on is set to be on regardless of the point. Further, the crossing flag, the local flag, and the local flag are reset when the mobile linked game ends (the QR code issuance screen is closed) and the pachinko machine 10 is powered off. There is. In addition, information about which prefecture the crossing flag is turned on, information about the points, and the like are included in the two-dimensional code and output to the server for management. Then, by including information based on local information related to the next password, local production (“national crossing rally”) can be continued. In addition, in the state where the crossing flag of the whole country is set to ON, it is possible to derive a special effect (for example, if the occurrence of a jackpot is confirmed, it is possible to derive a premium notice that can teach that, It may be possible to derive a special image during the big hit state. It may be possible to enter the second week of the "national crossing rally. The benefits of the second week include this map pattern in different colors") .. In addition, the motif of the pattern used for the "this map pattern" is also used for notice production (for example, to display in small groups) (this map pattern is not used in the decorative pattern, It is also possible to set so that it can be derived at the time of production).

It should be noted that as the number of “this map pattern” increases, the number of decorative patterns showing the same number also increases, but in order to suppress the storage capacity of image data, the number pattern part of the decorative patterns excluding the pattern is common (same Design). In addition, the points used in the "national rally" may change the multiplication rate of points for games depending on the day and the time of day (for example, twice on holidays and holidays on weekdays, and twice on mornings). Etc.) may be configured. Further, when a game is played in a prefecture other than the local area, the multiplication rate of points for the game may be changed (for example, the multiplication rate increases as the distance from the local area increases).

In addition, in the above example, the local division is performed for each prefecture, and individual local images (at least 47 pieces in total) are associated with each other. It is not limited and can be set appropriately. For example, division may be performed in units of countries during the Warring States period.

Further, different effect display may be performed depending on whether the "local" where the game was played last time and the "local" where the game is played this time are the same or different. For example, in the case of "the same case", it is displayed such as "You came again" at the start of the game, "It is earlier than usual (refer to the time information and store visit time information)", etc. May be displayed. Furthermore, it may be configured such that a question-type display is subsequently derived and the selection result is stored as selection information. In addition, when playing in a local (local) area where the number of games is high, if the last time was a game in another local, "Welcome back", "Did you go to another place?" Etc. may be displayed.

It should be noted that the player's visit time (game start time), game time, and store exit time (game end time) are accumulated, and based on such data, the average visit time, the average play time, and the store exit time. It may be configured to calculate an average of time and the like and reflect this on the effect of the pachinko machine 10. In other words, randomly deriving the player's private step-by-step production such as "I thought it was time to come", "It's time to return home", "I'm playing longer than usual", etc. It can be derived according to the facts instead of. For this reason, it is possible to improve the motivation of the game as compared with the case where only the common production for everyone is performed, and the situation where the player's intention to take a step into the private becomes an irrelevant production. Can be avoided. Furthermore, including information such as the number of jackpots, the number of fluctuations, and the number of games played in a given area, "Today is on", "Premium reach was seen", and "Today is the 10th visit to the store. By performing a player-specific effect such as "ne", it is possible to improve the playability in the mobile linked game.

Further, the “local production” is not limited to the above example, and for example, the costume of the appearing character may be changed to one derived from the local, the background may be changed to a local attraction, music or a balloon ( The characters (telop) may be changed to music or dialects derived from the local area. Furthermore, the "local production" is not forced, and it is desirable that the player can select whether or not to do it.

It should be noted that the image data for local production can be derived (randomly regardless of the player's intention) not only in the mobile interlocking game but also in the non-mobile interlocking game (although the probability is low). You may comprise. In this case, it is possible to increase opportunities to enjoy local production, and encourage participation in mobile interlocking games (use the occurrence of local production in non-mobile interlocking games as a priming to participate in mobile interlocking games). You can However, in order to be able to set the local effect and local image to the player's preference (derived at the desired timing, selecting a predetermined one from many local images, etc.), the mobile It is necessary to play a linked game.

(P) Further, when personal information such as gender and age is input when registering as a user on the server, a password corresponding to the personal information is issued, and when the password is input to the pachinko machine 10, the personal information is reflected. It is good also as performing production etc. For example, when a birthday is input, a relatively beautiful effect image (which does not hinder the visual confirmation of the variable display of the decorative pattern) which is also used for the normal effect on the decorative pattern display device 42 is always displayed only during the game of the day. , The probability of deriving the premium reach may be increased. Further, it may be possible to derive an exclusive production for birthdays, an exclusive production for days when publicly held events such as New Year's Day and Christmas, and an exclusive production for the day of an event in a game hall. Further, for example, the decorative symbol display device 42 is configured to be tiltable with the left-right direction as the axial direction, and the decorative symbol display device 42 is also configured to be tilted according to the height data of the player included in the password. Good. It should be noted that the gaming machine maker can obtain information such as which age group and which sex is favored by obtaining information on the player's gender and age.

Further, a password corresponding to the time or day of the week when the game is started may be issued, and when the password is input to the pachinko machine 10, an effect or the like reflecting the password may be performed.

For example, the relationship between the remaining time until the game hall is closed (the store closing time is preset in this case) and the selected stage may be investigated. That is, when the remaining time is short, it may be checked which stage is selected, whether a time-efficient one is selected, or whether it is irrelevant. Also, for example, if there is a stage that is easy to select according to the season, which stage was easy to select immediately after the start of installation, and which stage is easy to select after some time has passed from the start of installation, etc. Good. Furthermore, for example, it may be checked whether there is a stage that is easily selected depending on the temperature or the weather. When the remaining time is short, an announcement recommending a time-efficient stage may be performed by the decorative symbol display device 42 or voice output.

Further, by using the gaming machine ID information, even if the pachinko machine 10 of the same model plays a table different from the table played last time, a (reaction) effect different from the case of playing the same table is performed. It may be configured as follows. Further, even if the models are different, if the servers are common or compatible, the player's selection information and the like may be configured to be shared and appropriately reflected.

(Q) In the above-described embodiment, as the selection information related to the button effect, information on whether or not the effect button 125 is operated when the button effect is generated and information on how many times the effect button 125 is operated are accumulated and stored. However, the present invention is not limited to such a configuration. For example, the maximum number of operations of the effect button 125 during the effective period of the effect button 125 was expected to be a predetermined number, but this is not sufficient, or conversely, no information such as no one reaching that, or button effect is displayed. There may be a pattern A and a pattern B, and it may be configured to obtain information such that the pattern A has an operation but the pattern B has not been operated so much.

Further, for example, in the configuration in which the stage (“diving stage”, “cruising stage”, “deep sea search stage”) is switched each time the production button 125 is operated in the normal gaming state as in the above embodiment. The timing at which the stage is changed may be accumulated and stored as selection information.

For example, how many times the variation display is performed after the player starts the game of the day (from the start of hitting) or at the end of the jackpot state, the stage is likely to be changed (so-called "hammered" and stage change). Relationship), and/or how many times the fluctuation display is performed after the super reach is removed, and/or after the relatively high-anticipation notice production is performed, it is easy to change the stage (discouraged, if you turn the inside out, Relationship between high expectations for production and stage change), how many times the total number of jackpots since the start of the day the number of jackpots is likely to change the stage (relationship between tiredness of production and stage change), etc. The information may be obtained on the server side.

However, if all these numbers are stored, the storage amount becomes enormous. Therefore, it is possible to store the number of times for each corresponding range by dividing the number of times. For example, after the start of the game or the end of the jackpot, there was a stage change within 10 times, 50 times, 100 times, 200 times,... 800 times, 900 times, 1000 times or more, a supermarket. Within 5 times, 15 times, 30 times, and more than five times since the reach was lost, the jackpot first time from the start of the game, the jackpot 5th, the jackpot 10th, the jackpot 15th, the jackpot 20 It may be configured such as how many times the stage has been changed by the 25th and the 25th jackpot. The time information may be stored instead of or in addition to the number of times information. For example, after the jackpot state has ended, within 1 minute, within 5 minutes, within 10 minutes, within 20 minutes, within 30 minutes, and after storing and storing that there was a stage change, a server is transmitted via a mobile communication terminal. It may be configured to be able to send to.

As a function of the effect button 125, a predetermined operation is performed on the effect button 125 when a predetermined effect is performed or when it is determined that the predetermined effect is performed. Effect is skipped (a predetermined effect is skipped based on a predetermined operation being performed), or a different effect is changed (a predetermined image to make up for the remaining time of extension that was scheduled to be performed ( It may be configured to output a picture during construction) and a sound). In this case, for example, when the effect displayed on the decorative pattern display device 42 does not give a favorable impression to the player (for example, it becomes embarrassing to see, the volume is too large, and the user feels uncomfortable). To prevent stress from being placed on the player when he/she is too excited to see his/her feelings, and to find new enjoyment by using the cancel function. You can In this configuration, the effect button 125 corresponds to effect canceling operation means.

Further, the information when the effect canceling function by the effect button 125 is used may be accumulated and transmitted to the server via the mobile communication terminal. Further, the accumulated information may be reflected in the mobile interlocking game of the pachinko machine 10 after the next time (the password includes information corresponding to the effect cancellation information). In addition, it is preferable that this setting be configured so that the player can return to the original setting.

Further, the effect button 125 is provided with a pressure gauge, a speed measuring device, etc., and these measured values are accumulated and stored as selection information, and information on how strong or speed the effect button 125 is operated is on the server side. It may be configured to be obtained by.

(R) In the above embodiment, in order to display the two-dimensional code on the decorative pattern display device 42, it is necessary to re-input the same password as the password input at the start of the mobile linked game as the identity verification. Good. In other words, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the game information that has been accumulated is illegally received and taken away by another player (particularly, in the above embodiment, the accumulated game information and the like are deleted). .. In addition, in the case of a configuration in which wireless communication such as infrared rays can be performed between the pachinko machine 10 and the mobile communication terminal, it may be unnecessary to enter a password at the start of the mobile interlocking game, but in this case, from the mobile communication terminal When communicating with the pachinko machine 10, the pachinko machine 10 side is configured to include the player specifying information for specifying the player, and to receive the player specifying information received from the mobile communication terminal at the start of the mobile linked game on the pachinko machine 10 side. When the player identification information that is stored and received from the mobile communication terminal when the two-dimensional code is issued is determined to be the same as the player identification information stored on the pachinko machine 10 side, and if they are the same Alternatively, the accumulated game information and selection information may be output, and if they do not match, the information may not be output. Furthermore, a personal identification number may be assigned when the mobile-linked game is first registered, and the personal identification number may be required to be input when the two-dimensional code is issued. It is desirable that the personal identification number can be confirmed by accessing the server together with the cookie information.

In addition, a separation timer that measures from the time when the player's contact with the handle 18 is no longer detected until a predetermined specified time elapses, and is turned on when the mobile interlocking game is started, and the separation timer is measured. When the specified time has elapsed from the start, and with the player specifying flag which is turned off when the mobile interlocking game ends, if the player interlocking game is in progress but the player specifying flag is off The two-dimensional code may not be issued. That is, when the player-identifying flag is off during the mobile-linked game, the player-identifying flag can be turned on by performing identity verification (for example, re-entering the password), and the player-identifying flag can be turned on. If the medium flag is on, the two-dimensional code can be issued. As a result, it is possible to more reliably prevent the situation where the game information or the like is taken away when the player leaves the seat for the purpose of using the toilet or the like. In addition, the player-specific flag may be set to be turned off immediately by the player's own input operation when the player leaves the seat. In this case, the above-mentioned action and effect become more reliable.

[Appendix]
The technical ideas that can be understood from the above embodiment will be described below.

Means P-1. An operation means that can be operated by the player,
Selection effect derivation means capable of deriving a selection effect for selecting an effect by the operation of the operation means by the player,
A game machine comprising: a selection information storage unit capable of accumulating and storing selection information, which is information related to selection by operation of the operation unit.

According to the means P-1, selection information means capable of accumulating and storing selection information such as what kind of selection the player has made in the selection effect is provided. Therefore, by checking the stored information of the selection information storage means, it is possible to grasp a popular effect, an unpopular effect, and the like, which can be used as a reference for the development of the gaming machine. Further, since the selection information stored in the selection information storage means matches (is) the selection actually made by the player during the game, which effect the player later gives in the questionnaire such as the mark sheet method. You can get more accurate and detailed information than answering while remembering how many times you have selected.

A. There is a pachinko machine as a type of gaming machine. In the pachinko machine, when the game ball launched by the launching device enters the starting ball entering means provided on the game board, a lottery is carried out as to whether or not a jackpot state is to be generated, and a lottery is displayed on the variable display device. A variable display is provided to teach the result (see, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-154110).

By the way, when a game machine maker manufactures a new model or the like, the aim is to create a game machine that is pleasing to the player, with reference to the evaluation of the conventional game machine.

However, for example, when marketing is requested to a research company, there is a possibility that a sufficient number of reactions may not be obtained or that the result report may be delayed. In addition, there is concern that the answers to the questionnaire given to the player may not be accurate.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems and the like, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of quickly and widely collecting information regarding a player's gaming tendency.

Means A-1. In a gaming machine capable of transmitting information about a game of the player to a server via a mobile communication terminal operated by the player,
A game information storage means capable of accumulating and storing game information, which is information related to a lottery performed during a game,
An operation means that can be operated by the player,
Selection effect derivation means capable of deriving a selection effect for selecting an effect by the operation of the operation means by the player,
Selection information storage means capable of accumulating and storing selection information, which is information related to selection by operation of the operation means,
Display means provided at a position visible to the player and capable of displaying an image object,
In the display means, at least the server address information is included among the address information of the server, the game information accumulated and stored in the game information storage means, and the selection information accumulated and stored in the selection information storage means. An information output unit that displays code information that can be read by a mobile communication terminal,
When the information output means includes the game information stored in the game information storage means in the code information displayed on the display means, the selection information stored in the selection information storage means A gaming machine characterized by including also.

In addition, "The mobile communication terminal is
Reading means capable of reading the code information displayed by the display means,
A communication means capable of communicating with the server;
A portable display means capable of displaying data supplied from the server,
The server is
A host-side game information storage unit that stores and stores the game information when the game information stored and stored in the game information storage unit is received via the mobile communication terminal.
And a host-side selection information storage unit that stores and stores the selection information when the selection information stored and stored in the selection information storage unit is received via the mobile communication terminal."

The game information accumulated and stored in the game information storage means is a history of the game played by the player, and may be useful as a reference material when the player looks at his or her own game. In addition, various services may be provided from a gaming machine manufacturer or the like who operates a server according to the gaming history. On the other hand, the game information accumulated and stored in the selection information storage means is information indicating preference of which one of the effects the player has selected, which is very important for a game machine maker to understand customer needs. This is useful information.

In this respect, according to the present means A-1, when the code information displayed on the display means includes the game information stored and stored in the game information storage means, the code information is stored and stored in the selection information storage means. The selection information included is also included, and the information that the player wants to know or collect and the information that the gaming machine manufacturer wants to know are a set. Therefore, by reading the code information with the mobile communication terminal after the game and communicating with the server, the player can send useful information to the server for both the player side and the game machine maker side. In particular, the selection information is fast, accurate, and wide (reactions can be obtained from a larger number of players), so avoiding situations where the information is outdated, irrelevant, or overly skewed. You can As a result, it is possible to sequentially obtain fresh and accurate information, and by making use of such good information, it is possible to work on the development of a new model that meets the expectations of the player. In other words, while retaining the elements that are popular with the players, the goodness of the past is inherited, while conversely, the elements that are not popular are trimmed to simplify them, or replaced with other elements to suppress complexity. While trying new things can be done.

As the game information, the number of times of occurrence of a special game state advantageous to the player, the number of times of variable display performed in the variable display means for teaching the result of the win/loss lot for determining the win/loss of the special game state, It can be cited that a predetermined specific effect is generated from among numerous effects in the special game state and the variable display. In addition, corresponding to the slot machine as a gaming machine, the winning probability of a special gaming state (bonus) etc. can be set in multiple stages, and there is also a difference in the winning probability of a child role depending on the setting. According to the setting, the winning numbers of child roles having different winning probabilities according to the settings are cumulatively stored in the game information storage means, and by sending them to the server, the server calculates the appearance rate of the child roles per a predetermined number of games. However, it may be configured so that it can be displayed on the portable display means.

Further, as the "selection effect for selecting an effect by the operation of the operation means by the player", a plurality of stages are provided so that the background image, the appearing characters, etc. on the display means are changed, and the operation is performed during the normal game state. In a configuration in which the stages are sequentially changed by operating the means, each stage constitutes a selection effect, and the game information in this case is, for example, how many times the variable display is performed in which stage. There is information such as whether or not it has been broken (only operating the operation means to change the stage does not count as selection information). Furthermore, when a normal game state (for example, when a pachinko machine develops super reach) or when a special game state occurs, the player selects the development destination of the effect or the effect in the special game state from a plurality of effect patterns. In a possible configuration, the plurality of effect patterns form a selection effect, and the game information in this case includes, for example, information such as which effect pattern is selected and executed. In addition, the player operates the operation means within a predetermined period to derive a predetermined effect as a reaction, and in some cases, the operation means is changed in a configuration in which the effect changes depending on the number of operations. The effect that can be derived by operating constitutes a selected effect, and the game information in this case is, for example, information indicating whether or not the player has operated the operation means within a predetermined period, or a plurality of operation means. Information such as how many times the player has operated the operation means (how many times or more) when an announcement that the operation is performed is given.

The address information is information such as a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) for the mobile communication terminal to access the server, and it is sufficient that the IP address of the server is finally obtained. Further, the "code information" is not limited to a two-dimensional code and a one-dimensional code, but is also shown in the form of a sequence of symbols such as URI, and is meant to include information configured by the sequence (combination) of the symbols. is there. In addition, "when the portable communication terminal reads the address information of the server from the code information displayed on the display unit to access the server, the mobile communication terminal displays the game information and the selection information included in the code information. “Output to the server”.

Means A-2. The code information including the game information and the selection information is stored in the game information storage means after the operation for starting the accumulation of the game information of each player is performed in the game information storage means. The gaming machine according to means A-1, wherein only the game information until the display on the display means is stored.

The storage content of the game information storage means is erased when the code information including the game information and the selection information is displayed on the display means, whereas the storage content of the selection information storage means is The gaming machine according to means A-3, wherein the contents stored in the game information storage means are retained even after being erased.

According to the means A-4, it is possible to send more selection information to the server (also send selection information for other players collectively) while suppressing the data storage capacity of the game information in the gaming machine as much as possible. It will be possible. Furthermore, for example, in the case where the stored information of the selection information storage means is erased when the code information is displayed on the display means, for example, when the player finishes the game, the code information is displayed on the display means of the gaming machine. Although it is displayed, when the action of reading the code information and transmitting it to the server is not performed, the selection information of the player is not transmitted to the server and remains on the gaming machine side. On the other hand, according to the present means, the stored content of the selection information storage means remains even after the code information is displayed, so that there is a possibility that another player may send it to the server. Therefore, the operational effect of obtaining more selection information can be more reliably exhibited.

The gaming machine may be configured to delete the selection information that has been stored in the selection information storage means for a predetermined period (predetermined time, predetermined number of days, etc.), or may not be deleted (deleted). (There is no program).

Means A-5. Equipped with input means capable of inputting information by player's operation,
By inputting the password using the input means, a state in which the game information of the individual player is accumulated in the game information storage means is started,
When the password includes information corresponding to the game information and the selection information accumulated in the server, processing corresponding thereto (when the game information and the information corresponding to the selection information are not included, Any of the means A-1 or A-4, characterized in that it is configured to be able to execute) (processing different from the case where the stored contents of the game information and the selection information accumulated in the server are different) The game machine described.

In addition, "the server responds to a request from a player via the mobile communication terminal that is being accessed, the password corresponding to the stored contents of the host-side game information storage means and the host-side selection information storage means. Is provided with a password issuing means".

According to the means A-5, not only the game information accumulated and stored in the host side game information storage means but also the selection information accumulated and stored in the host side selection information storage means can be reflected in the game. For example, by analyzing the tendency of the player's hobbies and preferences for the game and facilitating the derivation of an effect suitable for it, the tendency of the player's hobbies and preferences, that is, grasping the popularity of each effect, etc. It is possible to easily derive a popular production. Therefore, the game playability can be improved by retrofitting according to the tendency of the individual taste of the player or the hobby and taste of the whole player. In addition, since the production balance also changes according to the accumulation status of the selection information, it is possible to suppress rut.

According to the means A-6, it is possible to reflect the selection information accumulated by the player's individual, that is, the player's hobbies and preferences in the game. For example, in a configuration in which a plurality of stages are provided so that the background image and the appearing characters in the display means are changed, and the stages are sequentially changed by operating the operation means during the normal game state, For example, by inputting a password, it is possible to automatically switch to a stage in which the player's selection rate is high (the number of selections is large). In addition, for example, in a configuration in which the player can select the development destination of the effect or the effect in the special game state during the normal game state (for example, when the pachinko machine develops super reach) or when the special game state occurs. For example, by inputting a password, the cursor for selecting an effect can be configured to be aimed from the beginning to a position for selecting an effect that has been selected by the player so far. Furthermore, for example, in a configuration in which the player operates the operation means within a predetermined period to derive a predetermined effect as a reaction, and in some cases, the effect changes depending on the number of operations, for example, a password By inputting, the effect using the operating means is not often performed (replaced with other effects) in response to the player who does not operate the operating means often, or the number of operations of the operating means is originally the reference number of times. When the specific effect is performed by reaching, the specific effect can be derived by performing a predetermined number of operations less than the reference number of times. Therefore, the player feels that the gaming machine becomes familiar to the player as the game is repeated, and the player can play the game comfortably. It is also possible to eliminate the situation in which the player has to perform the same operation each time in order to put the gaming machine in his or her favorite state within a selectable range.

Means A-7. When the password includes the game information of each player accumulated in the server and the information corresponding to the selection information of all the players, the corresponding processing (in the game information and the selection information) Means A-, which is configured to be capable of executing processing different from the case where the corresponding information is not included or the stored contents of the game information and the selection information stored in the server are different) The gaming machine described in 5.

According to the means A-7, it is possible to reflect the aggregated selection information of all the players so far, that is, the statistics of the hobbies and preferences of all the players who are playing the game machines of the relevant model in the game. .. For this reason, for example, a player who plays a game for the first time is encouraged to first enjoy a popular production or the like to enhance the possibility of attracting the player's interest at the earliest possible stage. It is possible to proactively show the goodness of the game machine by having the player who has selected only the production choose the popular production for trial and discover new advantages. .. Therefore, depending on the development of the game and the like, it is possible to reduce the situation where the potential of the game machine cannot be drawn out well and the player cannot play the game. It should be noted that the hobby and preference of the entire player may be reflected when the game experience of the gaming machine is small, and the hobby and preference may not be reflected when the game experience is accumulated to some extent.

Means A-8. When the password includes the game information of the player individual accumulated in the server and the information according to the selection information of the player individual and/or the player as a whole, the corresponding process (the game Information and information corresponding to the selection information are not included, or different processing is performed when the stored content of the game information and the selection information accumulated in the server is different) The gaming machine described in Characteristic Means A-5.

Incidentally, "the host side game information storage means of the server includes an individual game information storage area capable of accumulating and storing the game information of each player,
The host side selection information storage means includes an individual selection information storage area capable of accumulating and storing the selection information of each player, and an overall selection information storage area capable of accumulating and storing the selection information of the entire player,

Issuing the password".

According to the means A-8, it is possible to reflect the hobbies and tastes of each player and the hobbies and tastes of the entire player, and basically the same as the above means A-6 and A-7. The effect of is produced. It should be noted that it may be configured that the player can select whether to reflect an individual hobby or preference, or to reflect the hobby or preference of the entire player (or not to reflect at all). Furthermore, such selection may be performed when the password is entered or when the password is issued on the web page, but by setting it on the web page (server side), it is used for the password. It is possible to reduce the total number of words to be used, simplify the process related to password issuance and storage capacity, and reduce the labor related to password input.

Means A-9. When the password includes information corresponding to the fact that the specific game information is accumulated in the server in a predetermined amount or more, the password of the individual player stored in the server is included in the password. Executes processing according to the game information and the player's individual selection information,
If the password does not include information corresponding to the fact that the specific game information is accumulated in the server in a predetermined amount or more, the individual player information accumulated in the server included in the password is stored. The gaming machine according to means A-8, which executes a process in accordance with the game information and the selection information of all the players.

Incidentally, "the password issuing means determines whether or not the particular game information is accumulated in the host-side game information storage means at the time of issuance of a password or more, and a negative determination is made. Is issued the password according to the stored contents of the personal selection information storage area and the overall selection information storage area, and if a positive determination is made, the personal selection information storage area and the personal selection information storage area Issuing the password according to the stored contents".

According to the means A-9, in a state where the player has little experience in playing the corresponding gaming machine and the data amount of the hobby and preference of the individual player has not been acquired so much, the hobby and preference of the entire player is reflected in the game, You can positively appeal the goodness of the game machine. Furthermore, when the player gains some experience in playing the corresponding gaming machine (for example, when the number of fluctuations and the number of winnings exceeds a reference value), the player's individual hobbies and preferences are reflected in the game, The player can play the game more comfortably. Therefore, it is possible to provide a suitable game according to the situation.

Further, on the server side, in order to determine which of the personal selection information storage area and the total selection information storage area is to be reflected in the game (which is included in the password), the personal selection information storage area and the total selection information are stored. The number of pieces of information identified from the password, and thus the total number of patterns of the password, can be reduced as compared with the case where the stored contents of both storage areas are included in the password. Therefore, the password can be made as short as possible and the number of types of words used for the password can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the processing relating to the issuance of the password, the storage capacity, and the labor for inputting the password.

Means A-10. The gaming machine according to any one of means A-5 to A-9, characterized in that the player can select whether or not the accumulated selection information is reflected in the game.

According to the means A-10, it is possible to prevent the accumulated selection information from being reflected in the game. Therefore, even for a player with a good balance as it is, it is possible to comfortably play the mobile linked game using the mobile communication terminal and the server.

It should be noted that a player's individual selection information storage means and a host-side selection information storage means (individual selection information storage area) for accumulating and storing the selection information only in the mobile interlocking game state are provided to show the intention that the player does not reflect When the corresponding operation/setting is done, the selection information is not stored and stored in the means for storing the player's personal selection information. The result may be reflected below) or the structure may be such that the result is accumulated but not reflected.

Means A-11. By being able to implement a questionnaire that can be answered by operating the input means,
11. The gaming machine according to any one of means A-5 to A-10, characterized in that the questionnaire content can be changed according to the information regarding the selection information included in the inputted password.

According to the means A-11, by conducting the questionnaire, it is possible to obtain information that cannot be grasped by simply counting the selection of the selection effect. For example, it is possible to ask an unpleasant (uninteresting) effect, or ask why a particular effect is liked. Therefore, more information can be collected, and a situation in which a gaming machine that does not meet the needs of the player is produced can be more reliably avoided.

Further, with this means, the contents of the questionnaire can be changed according to the selection information included in the password input to the gaming machine. That is, for example, in the case where the player himself has selected a large number of effects A in the selection effects in the past, corresponding to the means A-6, the display means "Why does the effect A like? Please let me know. 1; It is easy to get a hit. 2; I like the appearing character. 3; I like the sound." and so on. Therefore, it is possible to conduct a more detailed survey and obtain higher quality questionnaire data. In addition, even if the number of choices is reduced or the number of questions is reduced, it is possible to efficiently shift to detailed questions, and as a player, it is relatively smooth (without feeling too much stress) in the questionnaire. I can answer.

If a large number of questions are prepared and derived at random, the questions may be biased or may be inappropriate for the player's hobbies and preferences. Can be derived. Therefore, the questionnaire can be efficiently performed, more suitable answers can be obtained, and the number of times the questionnaire effect is derived can be reduced. It is possible to suppress the situation of feeling.

Means A-12. The questionnaire content is displayed only when an operation indicating participation in the questionnaire is performed (when an operation indicating non-participation in the questionnaire is performed or there is no corresponding operation within a predetermined period). Does not display the contents of the questionnaire). The gaming machine according to means A-11.

According to the means A-12, the intention of the player who does not want to participate in the questionnaire can be respected. In addition, even though the player does not intend to participate in the questionnaire, the contents of the questionnaire are displayed, and the operation is not performed here. It is possible to prevent a situation in which the accuracy of the questionnaire result is significantly reduced due to a different selection or the like.

Means A-13. A configuration that performs ranking according to the number of times of execution of specific game information, and causes a change in the content of the effect depending on the rank,
The game information storage means executes the specific game information in a mobile linked game state between the input of the password and the display of the code information including the game information and the selection information. Equipped with a game information counting means for storing,
In the password, to update to the next rank set when the number of executions of the specific game information for updating to the next rank is less than a predetermined allowable value together with the rank information indicating the rank Means to execute processing according to the rank information and the remaining information when remaining information indicating the number of times of execution of the specific game information is included in the means A-5 to A-. 12. The gaming machine according to any one of 12.

In addition, "the server is
Host-side game information counting means, which is provided in the host-side game information storage means, stores and stores the number of times of execution of the specific game information received via the mobile communication terminal,
Rank determining means for determining the rank based on the number of times of execution of the specific game information stored in the host side game information counting means,
Calculation means for calculating how many times the specific game information execution count remains to be updated to the next rank,
The value calculated by the calculating means, and an allowable value determining means for determining whether or not less than a predetermined allowable value,
When the allowable value determining unit determines that the value calculated by the calculating unit is less than the allowable value, it is calculated by the calculating unit together with rank information indicating the rank for the password. It is also possible to include “remaining information indicating a value”.

According to the means A-13, when the number of times of execution of the specific game information becomes equal to or more than the specified number, the rank is updated, and it is possible to enjoy the change in the effect according to the new rank. Further, the determination of the update of the rank and the accumulation of the game information of the game performed a plurality of times are performed by the server. Therefore, in order to update the rank, it is necessary to repeat the mobile-linked game, so it is possible for the player to actively participate in the mobile-linked game, and thus to be provided with more selection information. it can.

Further, since the total game information is accumulated and stored on the server side, even if the condition for rank update is cleared during the game, the rank is not updated unless the information indicating that is transmitted to the server side. Therefore, the update of the rank is reflected in the next game.

However, the number of executions of specific game information starts the game from a short time before reaching the specified number of times that is predetermined as a condition for rank update, and even if the number of times is reached early, the game ends once. Then, it is feared that unless the steps of displaying the code information, accessing the server, and inputting the issued password are taken into consideration, the change in the production corresponding to the new rank cannot be enjoyed. For this reason, the player who wants to enjoy the corresponding effect because the condition for updating the ranks is achieved has an extra trouble of temporarily ending the game as described above. In addition, even after the conditions for updating the rank are achieved, the number of times the specific game information is executed is accumulated without accessing the server, which significantly shortens the period in which the player can enjoy the performance corresponding to the next updated rank. Or, the situation of jumping over one rank and updating to the rank above two is achieved, and the opportunity to enjoy the performance corresponding to the rank above one is lost. May invite.

In this regard, according to the present means, when the server determines that the difference between the total number of executions of the specific game information and the predetermined number of times predetermined as the condition for rank update is less than the allowable value, The password is configured to include remaining information indicating the number of times the particular game information has been executed up to the specified number of times. Therefore, it is possible to change the effect corresponding to the update of the rank without ending the game once. Therefore, as long as the conditions for rank update are cleared during a game, it is possible to derive an effect corresponding to a new rank without causing the player to take extra trouble. Further, it is possible to sufficiently give an opportunity to thoroughly enjoy the performance and the like corresponding to each rank.

The gaming machine is referred to when determining the pattern of the selected effect, and the game is being played without the password being input (no mobile linked gaming state), or the game is being played at the initial rank. It is not selected or is selected in the state where the normal table is selected or is easily selected and the game is being played without the password being entered, or the game is being played in the initial rank. In addition to having a difficult special table, it also has a usage permission flag provided corresponding to each special table, and when determining the pattern of the selection effect, the usage permission flag is confirmed and the table to be referred to is determined. Then, the corresponding use permission flag may be set based on the rank information included in the input password.

In addition, in a game in which the rank can be increased in two stages in a day's game, the number of times up to the closest rank is stored, and the number of jumps by two stages can be achieved on that day. Also, the number of times up to the first rank and the number of times up to the second rank can be stored. May be. However, in order to fully enjoy the effects corresponding to each rank and to simplify the processing, it is preferable that the number of ranks that can be updated in one day is at most three levels.

Means A-14. The game machine according to means A-13, wherein when the remaining information is not included in the password, processing according to the rank information can be executed.

It should be noted that, when the allowable value determining means determines that the value calculated by the calculating means is equal to or larger than the allowable value, the remaining information indicating the value calculated by the calculating means for the password. May not be included”.

According to the means A-14, since the password does not always include the residual information, the total number of password patterns can be reduced as much as possible. Generally, when entering a password, the combination of words that make up the password must be not only those that are allowed to be entered but also those that are not allowed. It is necessary to lengthen the password and increase the number of selectable words when entering the password. Therefore, by reducing the total number of password patterns as much as possible, the password can be shortened and the number of words that can be selected when entering the password can be reduced as much as possible, improving the operability when the player inputs the password. And so on. As a result, since the password input operation is difficult, the input work is shunned, and the game cycle through the mobile communication terminal and the server is stopped there (and thus there is an opportunity to obtain data (selection information) about the player). It is possible to suppress such a situation.

Means A-15. A remaining number storage means for storing the number of times of execution of the remaining specific game information required before updating to the next rank,
When the first password issued when playing the mobile-linked game for the first time is input, the specific game information until the next rank can be updated in the remaining number storage means The number of executions of is set, the gaming machine according to the means A-13 or A-14.

According to the means A-15, even when the condition of updating to the next rank in the initial rank is achieved, the effect corresponding to the update of the rank is suitably changed without extra trouble for the player. be able to.

Means A-16. The number of executions of the specific game information that can be updated from the initial rank to the next rank is the smallest as compared with the number of executions of the specific game information required for the subsequent rank update. Means A-13 to A- 15. The gaming machine according to any one of 15.

According to the means A-16, the update condition for updating from the initial rank to the next rank is set relatively loosely. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the playability via the mobile communication terminal and the server is not attracted due to the inability to meet the update condition even once, and the game is shunned thereafter.
