Next, the configuration of the game board 30 will be described with reference to FIG. The game board 30 includes 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 unit 35, a first special display device 43L and a second special display device 43R, and variations. A specific lamp 40 or the like is arranged. As is well known, when a game ball enters (wins) various winning openings such as a general winning opening 31, a variable winning device 32 as a variable winning means, and a starting winning 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, 3 if there is a ball in the starting winning unit 33, 10 if there is a ball in the general winning opening 31, and if there is a ball in the variable winning device 32. Fifteen game balls are paid out. In addition, the game board 30 is provided with an out opening 36, and a game ball that has not won a prize in various winning openings such as the general winning opening 31 is discharged to the outside of the game area through the out opening 36. .. Further, in the game board 30, a large number of nails are planted in order to appropriately disperse and adjust the falling direction of the game ball, and various members (accessories) such as a windmill are arranged.

The variable winning device 32 is normally in a closed state in which the game ball cannot be won, and is in an open state in which the game ball can be won in the big hit state. Although not shown, the variable winning device 32 includes a large winning opening leading to the rear of the game board 30, a shutter for opening and closing the large winning opening, a large winning opening solenoid for operating the shutter, and a large winning opening. It is equipped with a count switch 223 that detects the game ball that has entered the mouth, and by driving and controlling the large winning opening solenoid and opening and closing the shutter, the variable winning device 32 (large winning opening) can be opened and closed. 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. When the opening / closing member 33c opens and closes according to the satisfaction of a predetermined condition, the game ball flowing down the side of the lower winning opening 33b is guided to the lower winning opening 33b between the open state and the closed state in which the lower winning opening 33b is not guided. It is configured so that the state can be changed. As will be described in detail later, the start winning unit 33 includes a first start winning switch 224a and a second starting winning switch 224b that detect game balls that have entered the upper winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b, respectively. When a game ball is detected by the start winning switch 224a and 224b, a winning / failing lottery is performed to determine whether or not to generate a big hit state, and special display devices 43L, 43R (and variable display means described later) are performed. The decorative symbol display device 42) is configured to perform variable display for teaching the result of the winning / failing lottery. Then, when a big hit is won in the winning or losing lottery, the big hit state as a special gaming state in which the variable winning device 32 is opened is given.

Further, in the present embodiment, there is a low probability state in which a jackpot is won with a predetermined probability in a win / fail lottery, and a high probability state in which a jackpot is won with a higher probability than a low probability state in a win / fail lottery. Further, the opening / closing member 33c is opened relatively frequently to facilitate the entry of the game ball into the lower winning opening 33c, and the opening / closing member 33c is hardly opened and the game ball is opened to the lower winning opening 33b. There is a low ball entry state that makes it difficult to enter the ball. Hereinafter, the state of low probability and low ball entry is referred to as "normal mode", and the state of low probability and high ball entry is referred to as "time reduction mode", and the state of high probability and high ball entry is high. A certain state is called "probability change mode".

Further, in the present embodiment, the normal mode and the probabilistic mode are continued until the jackpot state occurs, while the time reduction mode is the special display devices 43L, 43R and the decorative symbol display device 42 even if the jackpot state does not occur. When the fluctuation display in is performed 100 times, the process ends and the mode shifts to the normal mode.

Further, the jackpot types of the present embodiment are 16 round probability variable jackpot (hereinafter referred to as "16RS"), 7 round probability variable jackpot (hereinafter referred to as "7RS"), and 7 round normal jackpot (hereinafter referred to as "7RN"). There are three types. Then, regarding "16RS", one round is that the variable winning device 32 is opened for 30 seconds, or that eight game balls enter 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 and then the jackpot state ends. Further, after the jackpot state of "16RS" and "7RS" ends, the "probability variation mode" is given, and after the jackpot state of "7RN" ends, the "time reduction mode" is given.

The first and second special display devices 43L and 43R are each composed of a 7-segment display device of a type capable of displaying two characters (and dots), and are visible to the player (in this example, the variable winning device 32). It is installed on the right side). Then, the 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 entry of the game ball into the lower winning opening 33b. With this as an opportunity, the second special display device 43R is configured to perform switching display (variable display). The display contents of the special display devices 43L and 43R are directly controlled by the main control device 261 as the main control means described later.

Further, depending on the display mode when the variation display is stopped after the variation display is performed by the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R, the result of the winning / failing lottery, that is, "big hit" or "missing". It is definitely displayed that there is. For example, when a game ball wins in the upper winning opening 33a, the lighting mode (combination of lighting segments) is switched and displayed (variable display) at high speed (for example, every 4 msec) on the corresponding first special display device 43L. After a lapse of a predetermined time, one of the lighting modes is stopped and displayed (for example, stopped for several seconds). Then, when the "big hit" is won in the winning / losing lottery, the corresponding lighting mode is displayed when the fluctuation is stopped, and the big hit state occurs.

Further, in the special display devices 43L and 43R, not only is it taught that the "big hit" was won, but also the type of the big hit state, that is, whether it is "16RS", "7RS", or "7RN". Is also taught. For example, when "7.7." Is finally displayed (stopped and displayed) on the first special display device 43L (or the second special display device 43R), "16RS" is given and "n. When "0." is displayed, "7RN" is given, and so on. Further, there are not one but a plurality of stop modes of the special display devices 43L and 43R that teach one jackpot type, and one of them is selected and stopped and displayed. Further, when either the first special display device 43L or the second special display device 43R is performing the variable display or the decision display, the other is turned off ("-" is displayed. If the variable display and the decision display are not performed in either case, "-" is displayed in both cases.

Further, when a game ball newly wins a prize in the start winning unit 33 during the variation display of the first or second special display devices 43L and 43R, the variation display corresponding to that amount is the variation display performed at that time. It is configured to be performed after the end of. That is, the variable display is put on standby (held). The maximum number of times this pending variable display is determined for each pachinko machine model, but in this embodiment, it corresponds to a game ball that has won a prize in the upper prize opening 33a and a game ball that has won a prize in the lower winning opening 33b. Then, the variable display up to 4 times (8 times in total) is suspended.

Further, the number of holdings of the fluctuation display (hereinafter referred to as "first fluctuation display") based on the entry of the game ball into the upper winning opening 33a is lit and displayed by the first holding lamp 46a capable of emitting blue light. The number of holdings of the fluctuation display (hereinafter referred to as "second fluctuation display") based on the entry of the game ball into the lower winning opening 33b is lit and displayed by the second holding lamp 46b capable of emitting red light. It has become. The holding lamps 46a and 46b are provided with four holding lamps 46a and 46b, which are the same as the maximum number of holdings for each of the first fluctuation display and the second fluctuation display, and are the same number as the number of the first fluctuation display or the second fluctuation display held. 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 game ball newly wins the start winning unit 33 during the big hit state, the fluctuation display for that amount is also withheld.

The reserved variable display is basically digested in the reserved order, but when both the first variable display and the second variable display are reserved (hold lamp 46a, When one or more of 46b are lit), the second variation display is preferentially digested. That is, unless the second variable display triggered by winning the lower winning opening 33b is completely digested, the first variable display triggered by entering the upper winning opening 33a is not performed. ing. For example, in a state where one of the first holding lamps 46a is lit, if a game ball enters the lower winning opening 33b and one of the second holding lamps 46b is lit, the first variation display is postponed. The second variation display will be performed first.

In the variation identification lamp 40, which of the upper winning opening 33a and the lower winning opening 33b corresponds to the variation display performed by the decorative symbol display device 42 (first variation display or second). It is intended to indicate which of the variable displays is), and is arranged at a position visible to the player (in this example, below the special display devices 43L and 43R). The fluctuation specifying lamp 40 includes an LED having a blue emission color and an LED having a red emission color, and when the first variation display is performed in the decorative pattern display device 42, the variation identification lamp 40 emits light in blue and the second variation. When displayed, it emits red light.

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

The variable display device unit 35 includes a normal symbol display device 41 that variablely displays when the through gate 34 passes, and a decorative symbol display device that variablely displays according to the variable display by the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. 42 is provided. Further, the variable display device unit 35 is provided with the first holding lamp 46a, the second holding lamp 46b, and the holding lamp 44.

The normal symbol display device 41 is configured to be able to lightly display "○" or "×" as a normal symbol, and for example, every time the game ball passes through the through gate 34, the normal symbol is displayed as "○" → "×" →. Switching display (variable display) at high speed, such as "○" → ... Then, when the fluctuation display is stopped at the "○" symbol (winning symbol) for several seconds, the start winning unit 33 (opening / closing member 33c) is opened for a predetermined time. The display content of the ordinary symbol display device 41 is directly controlled by the main control device 261 described later.

Further, when the game ball newly passes through the through gate 34 during the variation display of the normal symbol display device 41, the variation display for that amount is performed after the variation display performed at that time is completed. It has become. That is, the variable display is put on standby (held). The maximum number of times the variable display is held is determined for each model of the pachinko machine, but in the present embodiment, it is held up to 4 times, and the number of times of holding is lit and displayed by the holding lamp 44. There is.

The decorative symbol display device 42 of the present embodiment is configured by a liquid crystal display device, and is configured to be capable of variable display of decorative symbols 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, which will be described later. That is, in the decorative symbol display device 42, the sub control device 262 assists the decorative symbol display device 42 based on the command from the main control device 261 so as to correspond to the results displayed by the first and second special display devices 43L and 43R. The display content is determined, and the 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 areas of upper, middle, and lower, and a plurality of types of decorative symbols (for example, numerical symbols with numbers 1 to 9) are provided in each symbol display area. It is displayed sequentially (variably displayed), and then the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in order for each symbol display area (for example, in the order of upper symbol display area → lower symbol display area → middle symbol display area). .. For example, when the occurrence of the jackpot state is confirmed by the main control device 261, the first or second special display devices 43L and 43R display the jackpot, and the decorative symbol display device 42 displays the jackpot. The stop display is made in the combination corresponding to (for example, the decorative symbols 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 the combination corresponding to the jackpot, the same decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in, for example, the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area as a preliminary step. In this way, the same symbol is stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area, and the variable display is still performed in the middle symbol display area, which is the reach state. Of course, just because a reach state occurs does not necessarily mean that it will be a big hit, and it may come off.

In the present embodiment, when the same decorative symbol (reach symbol) as the decorative symbol (reach symbol) stopped and displayed in the upper symbol display area and the lower symbol display area is stopped and displayed in the middle symbol display area after the reach state occurs (Zoro). When the eyes are stopped and displayed), the jackpot state is given. Further, in the case of odd-numbered doublets, "16RS" or "7RS" to which a probability variation mode is given occurs after the end of the jackpot state, and in the case of even-numbered doublets, "16RS", "7RS", Alternatively, either "7RN" is given. In addition, the combination of decorative patterns other than doublet basically teaches "off".

Further, in the variable display device unit 35, a center frame 47 is arranged so as to surround the decorative symbol display device 42. A ball entry port 151 is provided in the upper part of the center frame 47, and the game ball that has entered the ball entry port 151 is formed inside the center frame 47 and is formed along the side portion of the decorative symbol display device 42. It is guided on the stage 153 formed below the decorative symbol display device 42 via the 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 the pocket 154 formed on the inner back side of the center of the stage 153. .. The pocket 154 communicates with the guide passage 155 leading to the game area directly above the starting winning unit 33 (upper winning opening 33a), and the game ball entering the pocket 154 has a relatively high probability. The ball is entered into the starting winning unit 33 (upper winning opening 33a).

Further, the game board 30 includes an inner rail component 51 and an outer rail component 52, and is attached with a rail 50 that guides the game ball launched from the launcher 60 to the upper part of the game board 30. As a result, the game ball launched by the rotation 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 end portion (upper left portion in FIG. 4) of the inner rail component 51. This prevents a situation in which the game ball once guided from the rail 50 to the game area returns to the inside of the rail 50.

In a cash machine in which a game ball is directly lent to the upper plate 19 from a ball lending device or the like without going through a card unit, the card unit connection board 314 can be omitted.

The launch control device 312 permits or prohibits the launch of the game ball by the launch device 60, and the launch device 60 is permitted to be driven when predetermined conditions are met. Specifically, the firing permission signal is output from the payout control device 311, the sensor signal detects that the player is touching the handle 18, and the firing prohibition button 18a (which stops firing). The launching device 60 is driven on condition that the launching device 60 is not operated (see FIG. 1), and the game ball is launched with a strength corresponding to the operation amount of the handle 18.

The display control device 45 executes the variable display of the decorative symbol in the decorative symbol display device 42 in accordance with the instruction from the sub control device 262. The display control device 45 includes a CPU 521, a program ROM 522, a work RAM 523, a video RAM 524, a character ROM 525, a video display processor (VDP) 526, an input port 527, an output port 529, and a bus line 530, 531. And have. The input / output port 554 of the sub control device 262 is connected to the input port 527. Further, the CPU 521, the program ROM 522, the work RAM 523, and the VDP 526 are connected to the input port 527 via the bus line 530. Further, 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 VDP526) is carried out. As a result, the display control in the decorative symbol display device 42 is performed.

The program ROM 522 is a memory for storing various control programs and fixed value data executed by the CPU 521, and the work RAM 523 is a memory for temporarily storing work data and flags used when various programs are executed by the CPU 521. 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 contents of the decorative symbol display device 42 are changed. The character ROM 525 is a memory for storing character data such as a symbol displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42.

The VDP 526 is a kind of drawing circuit that directly operates the LCD driver (liquid crystal drive circuit) incorporated in the decorative pattern display device 42. Since the VDP526 is made into an IC chip, it is also called a "drawing chip", and its substance can be said to be a microcomputer chip with a built-in firmware dedicated to drawing processing. The VDP 526 adjusts the timings of the CPU 521, the video RAM 524, etc. to intervene in reading and writing data, and reads out the display data stored in the video RAM 524 at a predetermined timing and displays it on the decorative symbol display device 42.

Further, the power supply device 313 includes a power supply unit 541 that supplies electric power to each part of the pachinko machine 10, a power failure monitoring circuit 542 that monitors power interruption due to a power failure or the like, and a RAM erase switch circuit 543 that is connected to the RAM erase switch 323. And have.

The power supply unit 541 supplies the operation power required for 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 a + 12V power supply for driving various switches and motors, a + 5V power supply for logic, a backup power supply for RAM backup, and the like. These + 12V power supply, + 5V power supply, and backup power supply are supplied to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like. An operating power source (+ 12V power source, + 5V power source, etc.) is supplied to the launch control device 312 via the payout control device 311. Similarly, various switches, motors, and the like are supplied with operating power 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 failure monitoring circuit 542 monitors the DC stable 24 volt voltage, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit 541, and determines that a power failure (power failure) has occurred when this voltage becomes less than 22 volt. The power failure signal SK1 is output to the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311. By the output of the power failure signal SK1, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 recognize the occurrence of the power failure and execute the power failure time processing (NMI interrupt processing).

Even after the DC stable 24 volt voltage becomes less than 22 volt, the power supply unit 541 normally outputs 5 volt, which is the drive voltage of the control system, for a sufficient time to execute the power failure processing. It is configured to maintain a value. Therefore, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 can normally execute and complete the power failure processing.

The RAM erase switch circuit 543 is a circuit that takes in the switch signal of the RAM erase switch 323 and clears the backup data of the RAM 503 of the main control device 261 and the RAM 513 of the payout control device 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 control device 261 and the payout control device 311. When the power of the pachinko machine 10 is turned on while the RAM erase switch 323 is pressed (including turning on the power due to the elimination of a power failure), the data of the respective RAMs 503 and 513 are cleared in the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311. To.

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 draws lots using various counter information during the game. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, a jackpot random number counter C1 used for a winning / failing lottery for whether or not to generate a jackpot state, a type determination counter C2 used for determining a jackpot type (type lottery), and decoration. The variable selection counter C3 used to determine whether or not to generate the reach state in the symbol display device 42, the initial value random number counter CINI used to set the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1, and the first and second special display devices. Used for the first variable type counter CS1 and the second variable type counter CS2 used for determining the variable display time of the 43L and 43R (decorative symbol display device 42), and the lottery (ball entry assist lottery) of the normal symbol display device 41. It is decided to use the ordinary symbol random number counter C4. The variation selection counter C3 is also used for a lottery for each reach type 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 symbol 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 variation time, that is, the effect pattern in the decorative symbol display device 42 are determined.

The counters C1, C2, C3, CINI, CS1, CS2, and C4 are loop counters in which 1 is added to the previous value each time the counter is updated, and after reaching the upper limit value, the counter returns to 0, which is the lower limit value. Each counter is periodically updated, 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).

The RAM 503 stores a special variable hold area as a hold storage area for storing the values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the type determination counter C2, and the change selection counter C3, and a normal symbol random number counter C4 for storing the values. There is a variable hold area. The normal variable hold area includes one execution area and four hold areas (hold 1st to hold 4th 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 passing history of the game ball to the through gate 34. By adopting this configuration, it is possible to suspend the variable display in the normal symbol display device 41 up to four times.

Further, the special fluctuation holding area includes a first special fluctuation holding area and a second special fluctuation storage area having four holding areas (holding first to holding fourth areas), and one execution area. In each holding area of the first 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 arranged in chronological order according to the winning history of the game ball to the upper 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 arranged in chronological order according to the winning history of the game ball to the lower winning opening 33b. Stored in. By adopting this configuration, it is possible to hold the variable display on the special display devices 43L and 43R up to four times, respectively.

Explaining each counter in detail, for example, the jackpot random number counter C1 is incremented by 1 in order within the range of 0 to 599, reaches the upper limit value as the closing price (that is, 599), and then is the lower limit value 0 as the opening price. It is configured to return to. Normally, 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 jackpot random number counter C1 (value = 0 to 599), and is updated once for each timer interrupt and repeatedly updated within the remaining time of normal processing. On the other hand, the jackpot random number counter C1 is periodically updated (once for 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 fluctuation holding area. ..

Further, in the present embodiment, the number of values of the jackpot random number counter C1 which is a jackpot in a low probability state (normal mode, time reduction mode) is two, and the value is "7,307", which is a high probability. The number of values of the jackpot random number counter C1 that is a jackpot in the state (probability variation mode, latency mode) is 20, and the values are "7 to 16, 307 to 316". In the present embodiment, the ROM 502 is provided with two hit / fail 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 is a first hit / fail determination table stored as a value and a second hit / fail determination table in which "8 to 16, 308 to 316" are stored as jackpot values.

In the normal mode, the probability of winning a big hit (big hit probability) in the winning / losing lottery is 1/300, and the fluctuation time in the ordinary symbol display device 41 for teaching the result of the ball entry assist lottery is 6 seconds. Yes, and when the ball is won by the ball entry assist lottery, the lower winning opening 33b (opening / closing member 33c) is opened for 0.6 seconds.

In the probabilistic mode, the jackpot probability is 1/30, which makes it easier to hit the jackpot as compared with the normal mode. Further, in the probabilistic mode, the fluctuation time of the normal symbol display device 41 based on the ball entry assist lottery is 2 seconds, which is shorter than that in the normal mode, and when the ball entry assist lottery is won, the lower winning opening 33b Is opened three times, and each opening time is 2 seconds. That is, in the probabilistic mode, the fluctuation time in the normal symbol display device 41 is shorter than in the normal mode, the opening time of the lower winning opening 33b per winning of the ball entry assist lottery is longer, and the number of times of opening is larger. Become. As a result, the time zone in which the lower winning opening 33b is open becomes longer, so that the game ball frequently enters the lower winning opening 33b (high entry state), and the winning / failing lottery is performed. It will be done continuously and will be in 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 higher than in the normal mode.

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

The type determination counter C2 is configured to, for example, add 1 in order within the range of 0 to 19, reach the upper limit value (that is, 19), and then return to the lower limit value of 0. 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, when the winner is won in the winning / failing lottery, the type of the jackpot state type given based on the value of the type determination counter C2 is determined (the type lottery is performed), and the determined type jackpot state is given. The Rukoto.

The type determination counter C2 is periodically updated (once for each timer interrupt in this embodiment), 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 determination counter C2 stored in the type determination counter buffer is stored in the special fluctuation holding area of the RAM 503. To.

Further, in the present embodiment, "0" of the type determination counter C2 corresponds to "16RS", "1 to 14" corresponds to "7RS", and "15 to 19" corresponds to "7RN". There is. That is, when the winning / failing lottery is won, the ratio of "16RS" is 5%, the ratio of "7RS" is 70%, and the ratio of "7RN" is 25%. Further, when the probability variation jackpot is won, the percentage of odd-numbered doublets being 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, it is always possible to grasp that it is "16RS" by shifting the jackpot state to the 8th round. can.

Further, in the case where "7RS" is won and the even-numbered doublets are stopped and displayed in the variable display on the decorative symbol display device 42, the ratio of teaching that the probability variable jackpot is in the jackpot state is the percentage. It is 80%, and it is not possible to determine whether the mode given after the end of the jackpot is the probability variation mode or the time reduction mode at a rate of the remaining 20%. Even if an odd number of doublets is stopped and displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, it is not possible to determine whether "16RS" or "7RS" has been won at that time. By the way, after grasping the correspondence between the stop display pattern of the special display devices 43L and 43R and the jackpot type, by checking the stop display pattern of the special display devices 43L and 43R, the jackpot type can be surely grasped. However, since the stop display patterns of the special display devices 43L and 43R are diverse, it is practically difficult to grasp the above correspondence, and at this point, the jackpot type is unknown. By doing so, it is possible to improve the interest.

The variation selection counter C3 is configured to be incremented by 1 in order within the range of, for example, 0 to 238, reach the upper limit value (that is, 238), and then return to the lower limit value of 0. In the present embodiment, the variable selection counter C3 causes a reach state for the decorative symbol, and then the final stop symbol shifts by one to the front and back of the reach symbol to stop, and the same reach state occurs. The lottery is to draw "reach other than front and back" where the final stop symbol stops at a position other than before and after the reach symbol, and "completely off" where the reach state does not occur. In the present embodiment, the ROM 502 is provided with a reach determination table that stores the correspondence between the value of the variation selection counter C3 and the reach type. The value of "0 to 238" is stored in the reach judgment table, C3 = 0,1 corresponds to the front-back off reach, C3 = 2 to 21 corresponds to the reach other than the front-back off, and C3 = 22 to 238 is complete. It is configured to correspond to the disconnection.

The variation selection counter C3 is periodically updated (once for each timer interrupt in this embodiment), and the value of the variation selection counter C3 is stored in the variation selection 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 variable selection counter C3 stored in the variable selection counter buffer is stored in the special variable holding area of the RAM 503. To.

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

Further, the variation type counters CS1 and CS2 are updated once every time the normal processing described later is executed once, and are repeatedly updated even within the remaining time of the normal processing. Then, the buffer values of CS1 and CS2 are acquired when the variation pattern is determined at the start of the variation of the decorative symbol by the decorative symbol display device 42.

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

Further, the normal symbol random number counter C4 is configured as a loop counter in which, for example, 1 is sequentially added in the range of 0 to 9 and the upper limit value (that is, 9 is reached and then returns to 0, which is the lower limit value). The random number counter C4 is periodically updated (once for each timer interrupt in this embodiment), and when the game ball passes through either the left or right through gate 34, the value of the normal symbol random number counter C4 is acquired. The number of random number values is six, and the range is "3 to 8". When the value of the winning ordinary symbol random number counter C4 is acquired, the variation display is predetermined in the ordinary symbol display device 41. After the time has been set, 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 corresponding to the game mode at that time.

By the way, in the present embodiment, the player simply exchanges data related to the player's game between the pachinko machine 10 and the server operated by the game machine maker via the mobile communication terminal carried by the player. It is structured so that you can receive services that cannot be obtained simply by playing games. Hereinafter, such a gaming system will be described. In the present embodiment, the gaming system is composed of the pachinko machine 10, the mobile communication terminal operated by the player, and the server.

First, a schematic configuration of the entire gaming system will be described with reference to FIG. As a method of sending information from the pachinko machine 10 to the mobile communication terminal, a QR code (registered trademark) as code information, which is a two-dimensional code, is displayed on the decorative pattern display device 42, and the QR code (registered trademark) is read by the mobile communication terminal. Will be 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) pre-installed in the mobile communication terminal, and is included in the character string information. Access the server based on the server's 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, by manually inputting the password into the pachinko machine 10, the player can play a game that reflects various information included in the character string information.

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 in the decorative symbol 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 symbol display device 42) are performing variable display. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1101, the present process is terminated as it is.

If 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 determination is made in step S1102, this process is terminated as it is. If a negative determination is made in step S1102, it is determined whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated in step S1103. If a negative determination is made in step S1103, this process is terminated as it is.

If an affirmative determination is made in step S1103, it is determined in step S1104 whether or not the menu screen is being displayed. If a negative determination is made in step S1104, the decorative symbol display device 42 displays the menu screen (top menu) in step S1105, and then the process ends.

As shown in FIG. 12 (a), on the menu screen (top menu), "password input (game start)", "code issuance (first registration / game end)", "stage select", "customization", and "end" Operation items are displayed. Then, when the cross-shaped 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 determination is made in step S1104, a password select operation (operating the effect button 125 with the cursor placed on the operation item of "password input (game start)") is performed in step S1106. Determine if it is. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1106, the password input screen is displayed in step S1107, and then this process ends.

As shown in FIG. 12B, on the password input screen, the alphanumerical characters "AZ" and "1-9" used for the password, "Erase one character", "Enter", and "Return" are selected. In addition to displaying the items, a word display unit consisting of eight side-by-side frames (squares) is displayed in order to display the eight-character word entered as the password separately for each character. .. In addition, the password input screen has an alphanumerical character used for the password, an input cursor indicating whether "Erase one character", "Enter", or "Back" is selected, and a word display consisting of eight frames. When an alphanumerical character is selected with the input cursor in the section and an input operation is performed, an input location cursor indicating which frame the alphanumerical character is input to is displayed.

In this 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 player's game, and the lower five digits (five characters on the right side). (Characters) indicates the information set according to the selection information (and, if the residual information described later is set, the residual information) which is the information related to the player's hobbies and tastes. By dividing the information in this way, it becomes easier to read the contents of the password when the processing according to the password is executed on the pachinko machine 10 side, and the processing can be simplified.

In the present embodiment, by inputting the password issued from the server, the balance of the production is changed as compared with the case where the game is performed without inputting the password, or it is derived in the case of the non-mobile interlocking game. It will be possible to derive a production that has never happened. Hereinafter, the game performed by inputting the password is referred to as "mobile interlocking game", and the game performed without inputting the password is referred to as "no mobile interlocking game".

If a negative determination is made in step S1106, the code operation (operating the effect button 125 with the cursor placed on the operation item of "code issuance (first registration / game end)") is performed in step S1108. Determine if it was done. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1108, the code issuance screen is displayed in step S1109, and then this process ends.

Although not shown, the code issuance screen displays operation items such as "initial registration", "code issuance (end of game)", and "return to top menu". In addition, a QR code is displayed on each sub-page corresponding to "code issuance (initial registration / game end)".

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

In the present embodiment, three stages of a diving stage, a cruising stage, and a deep sea exploration stage are provided, in which the background, the characters appearing, and the like change, and the production method also changes in the normal game state in which the variable display is performed. Correspondingly, the stage select screen displays the selection items corresponding to each of these three stages, and by moving the cursor and operating the effect button 125, the stage is moved 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 effect button 125 is not used), the stage is 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 the customization operation (operating the effect button 125 with the cursor placed on the operation item of "customization") has been performed. .. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1112, the customization screen is displayed in step S1113, and then this process ends.

In the present embodiment, as a customization function, the design of the appearing character displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 of the pachinko machine 10 is slightly changed, the character or voice appearing in a predetermined effect is selected by the player, and the like. You can do that. Further, although the customization function cannot be used in the non-mobile interlocking game, the customization function is gradually enhanced by clearing the predetermined conditions regarding the game in the mobile interlocking game.

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

Next, a process related to password input (password input process) will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S1201, it is determined whether or not the password input screen is opened in the decorative symbol display device 42. If a negative determination is made in step S1201, the present process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S1201, it is determined in step S1202 whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated. If a negative determination is made in step S1202, this process is terminated as it is.

If 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. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1203, the process proceeds to step S1204, the top menu is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, and then this process ends.

On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S1203, it is determined in step S1205 whether or not the mobile interlocking game is in progress. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1205, this process is terminated as it is (a process of displaying "already input" or the like may be performed). On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S1205, it is determined in step S1206 whether or not the operation is an input operation for each word constituting the password. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1206, the process of displaying the word designated by the input cursor in the frame of the word display unit designated by the input location cursor is performed in step S1207, and then this process is terminated.

If 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 by the word display unit. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1208, in step S1209, if the word of the frame specified by the input location cursor or the frame specified by the input location cursor in the word display unit has not yet been input. Is a process of erasing the word of the previous frame (one left), and then the process is terminated.

Further, when a negative determination is made in step S1208, that is, when the player operates the effect button 125 with the input cursor set to the operation item of "OK" because the player has finished inputting the password in the word display unit. , Perform password authentication processing in step S1210. In the following step S1211, it is determined whether or not the input word combination is registered as a password combination. That is, not all of the above alphanumerical combinations are used as passwords, and some combinations are not used.

If an affirmative determination is made in step S1211, the input error display process is performed in step S1212, and then this process is terminated. That is, in the input error display process, "the password is incorrect" is displayed, and the operation items for which the player's consent is obtained are displayed in the state of being selected by the cursor from the beginning, and the player operates the effect button 125. Then, make settings to return to the password input screen.

If a negative determination is made in step S1211, in step S1213, a password reflection process is performed in which the information included in the entered password is reflected in the game of the pachinko machine 10. As will be described in detail later, the password is given a variation rank according to the number of variation displays (number of variations) performed by the special display devices 43L and 43R (decorative symbol display device 42) when the player plays a game. And, whether or not the jackpot rank given according to the number of times the jackpot state has occurred (the number of jackpots) and the first to third premium reach as a predetermined specific effect have been derived. Information on the career rank given accordingly is included, and information on the player's preference regarding the game is also included.

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

Next, the process related to the issuance of the QR code (code issuance process) will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S1301, it is determined whether or not the code issuance screen is opened in the decorative symbol display device 42. If a negative determination is made in step S1301, the present process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S1301, it is determined in step S1302 whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated. If a negative determination is made in step S1302, this process is terminated as it is.

On the other hand, if an affirmative 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. If a negative determination is made in step S1303, it is determined in step S1304 whether or not the mobile interlocking game is in progress. If a negative determination is made in step S1304, this process is terminated as it is.

If an affirmative determination is made in step S1304, it is determined in step S1305 whether or not the registration is the first time. If a negative determination is made in step S1305, a QR code is set based on the player's game data in step S1306, and a process of displaying the QR code on the decorative symbol display device 42 is performed.

In the present embodiment, the QR code displayed on the sub-page of "code issuance (game end)" includes the game machine ID that identifies the pachinko machine 10, the address of the server operated by the game machine maker, and the lottery performed during the game. It contains game information, which is information about the game, and selection information, which is information about selection by operating the cross button 126 or the effect button 125, and is represented by a character string in a URL (Uniform Address Locator) format when read by a mobile communication terminal. Converted to information. That is, on the display of the mobile communication terminal, the character string indicating the address of the server and the character string indicating the game information are displayed, and by accessing the server, the game information and the like are transmitted to 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 storing and storing game information, and a selection information storage area as a selection information storage means capable of storing and storing selection information. There is.

The game information of the present embodiment includes the number of fluctuations, the number of big hits, and information on whether or not the first to third premium reach has been derived. Correspondingly, in the game information storage area, a fluctuation number counter that counts the number of fluctuations in the mobile-linked game state, a jackpot number counter that counts the number of jackpots in the mobile-linked game state, and a first in the mobile-linked game state. -There are three experienced flags that are turned on when the third various premium reach is derived. In the present embodiment, the fluctuation number counter and the jackpot number counter constitute the game information counting means.

In the no-mobile interlocking game state or even in the mobile interlocking game state, in the initial state, only the first premium reach can be derived out of the first to third premium reach. On the other hand, if the first premium reach is derived even once in the mobile-linked gaming state, the second premium reach can be derived and has already been derived in the subsequent mobile-linked gaming states. The probability of deriving the first premium reach is increasing. Further, if the second premium reach is derived in a state where the second premium reach can be derived, the third premium reach can be derived and the first and second premiums that have already been derived can be derived. The probability of deriving the reach is increasing. Further, if the third premium reach is derived in a state where the third premium reach can be derived, the probability of deriving the first to third premium reach is increased.

In addition, in the mobile-linked 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 grasped 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 doublets stop when the variable display is stopped when the probability variation jackpot is won decreases. ..

Further, 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 exploration stage".

Further, in the present embodiment, three stages are prepared even in the jackpot state. More specifically, in the present embodiment, when an even number of doublets is stopped and displayed, it is actually a probabilistic jackpot, and when an odd number of doublets is stopped and displayed, it is actually "16RS". In any of the 1st to 7th rounds, the player presses the effect button 125, etc. There is a "chance production stage" where the promotion production to participate by operation is derived. Then, a select screen for selecting a stage is displayed at the start of the jackpot state, and when the effect button 125 is operated by moving the cursor to the option corresponding to the desired stage with the cross-shaped button, the jackpot round is started at the corresponding stage. Will be. In the present embodiment, the number of times each of the "sudden notification stage", "final notification stage", and "chance production stage" is selected is also selection information.

In addition, in the present embodiment, a display prompting the operation of the effect button 125 is made on the decorative symbol display device 42, whether or not the effect button 125 is operated (pressed) within the set period, and the number of times the effect button 125 is operated (number of repeated hits). ) May be used to perform a button effect such that the derived effect changes. In the present embodiment, information on whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated and how many times the effect button 125 has been operated is also selection information.

Correspondingly, in the selection information storage area, there is a stay stage counter that counts the number of fluctuations in the "diving stage", "cruising stage", and "deep sea exploration stage", as well as a "sudden notification stage" and "final notification". A jackpot stage selection counter that counts the number of selections of "stage" and "chance production stage", a button counter that counts when the production button 125 is not operated at all during button production, and a production button 125 during button production. A continuous hit counter that counts the total number of operations is provided. In particular, in the present embodiment, two sets of a stay stage counter, a jackpot stage selection counter, a button counter, and a continuous hit counter are provided, one for personal use and the other for statistical use.

Further, in the present embodiment, the questionnaire may be conducted 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", the decorative symbol is displayed at the start of the second round. The questionnaire display is derived on the display device 42.

As for the questionnaire display, first, a screen as to whether or not to cooperate with the questionnaire is displayed, and only when there is an input to cooperate with the questionnaire by operating the effect button 125 and the cross button 126, the next page of the questionnaire display is displayed. If there is an input operation to the effect that you do not cooperate after the transition, or if the corresponding input operation is not performed even after the specified period (even if the round where the questionnaire display started ends), the questionnaire The display is finished.

Correspondingly, the sub-control device 262 includes a questionnaire result storage area in which information (questionnaire and answer) of the answer to the questionnaire is stored.

Then, in step S1306, the stored contents of the fluctuation number counter, the jackpot number counter, and the experienced flag, which are the game information, and the individual stay stage counter, the jackpot stage selection counter, the button counter, and the continuous hit counter, which are the selection information. The stored contents for both use and statistics and the stored 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 number of variable displays, the number of jackpots, and the first to third premium reach are displayed. Information on whether or not it was derived, the number of fluctuations in the "diving stage", the number of fluctuations in the "cruising stage", the number of fluctuations in the "deep sea exploration stage", the number of selections in the "sudden notification stage", the "final notification stage" Information indicating the number of selections of, the number of selections of the "chance production stage", the type of the executed questionnaire, and the answer is displayed. In FIG. 15, for convenience, a character string indicating game information and selection information is indicated by ".".

Further, in the present embodiment, "-" is used as a delimiter of the character string indicating each game information and each selection information. In addition, the number of characters constituting each character string indicating each game information and each selection information is not constant, for example, 1 character when the number of fluctuations is 1 and 4 characters when the number of fluctuations is 5000. It changes according to the content to be shown. That is, the number of character strings indicating each information can be changed by deciding the order in which the character strings indicating the game information and the selection information are arranged and the character of the delimiter. As a result, when the amount of information is small, the number of characters can be reduced as much as possible, and the communication time can be reduced (communication charges can be suppressed).

By the way, as a character string indicating game information and selection information, for example, if it is shown that the number of fluctuations is 1000 and the number of big hits is 2, simply "1000-02" or the like is used for the mobile communication terminal. It may be displayed on the display, but if such a correspondence is easy to understand, there is a risk that such numbers will be tampered with and fake information will be sent to the server on the mobile communication terminal. There is. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the game information and the selection information are encrypted, for example, if it is shown that the number of fluctuations is 1000 and the number of big hits is 2, the game is designated as "E7L1-MQT" or the like. The display of the mobile communication terminal is displayed so that the person does not understand the correspondence between the character string and its specific content (number of fluctuations, etc.). Further, since the rules regarding encryption (encryption / decryption) are unified between the pachinko machine 10 side and the server side, information can be exchanged reliably.

If many types of questionnaires are conducted between the previous transmission of game information and selection information and the present, the amount of data in the next transmission of game information and selection information may become enormous. Further, even if the configuration is such that the questionnaire is not performed as in the present embodiment, even if more types of information to be stored and stored as game information or selection information and sent to the server are set, the next game information or selection information is set. There is a risk that the amount of data in the transmission will be enormous. In this case, it is conceivable to set an upper limit of the amount of information to be 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 can be reduced as much as possible to increase the types of information that can be sent at one time, or the information could not be sent in the previous transmission and accumulated on the pachinko machine 10 side. Information can be included and sent. Further, the characters used to separate the character strings are not particularly limited and can be set as appropriate. Furthermore, a plurality of types of characters are used as the delimiters, and the types and predetermined meanings of the delimiters are used. May be associated with. In addition, although the delimiter is set between the character strings, it is also possible to add a predetermined character to the beginning of each character string and use such a 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 first character, but it is configured to indicate that by arranging the delimiters consecutively. You may. In this case, the number of characters can be further reduced.

In the present embodiment, the stage and the button effect that can be selected by the operation of the effect button 125 and the cross button 126 by the player constitute the selection effect. Further, a function that enables the derivation of the stage and the button effect changed by the button operation constitutes the selection effect derivation means.

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

If an affirmative determination is made in step S1303, it is determined in step S1308 whether or not the QR code is being displayed. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1308, in step S1309, a process of erasing the individual player's game data stored in the pachinko machine 10 is performed, and then this process is terminated. More specifically, in step S1309, the fluctuation number counter, the jackpot number counter, and the experienced flag are reset (the counter value is set to 0 and the flag is turned off), and the stay stage counter, the jackpot stage selection counter, and the like. The button counter and the repeated hit counter for personal use are reset.

Of the stay stage counter, the jackpot stage selection counter, the button counter, and the continuous hit counter, those for statistics are not reset at this point. Also, the questionnaire result storage area is only for statistics. The statistical storage area and the questionnaire result storage area are configured so that the selection information for one week can be stored separately for each day, and the information past one week is stored based on the date counter that counts the dates. It is configured to be erased.

Further, in the present embodiment, the fluctuation number counter, the jackpot number counter, the personal stay stage counter, the jackpot stage selection counter, the button counter, the count to the repeated hit counter, and the storage to the experienced flag are mobile-linked games. Only done in. 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. Will be. Corresponding to these configurations, the QR code contains game information and selection information of an individual player, and selection information and questionnaire information for one week including not only the player but also other players. Set to be included.

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

Next, the processing on the server side (access correspondence 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.) are provided with a portable display means (display) capable of displaying. In addition, the server is a mobile communication terminal, a fluctuation number counter, a jackpot number counter, an experienced flag, a stay stage counter for personal and statistical use, a jackpot stage selection counter, a button counter, and a continuous hit counter, and a questionnaire result. A host-side game information storage area (host-side game information storage area) equipped with a host-side fluctuation counter, a host-side jackpot counter, and a host-side experienced flag so that information with the storage area can be stored when information is transmitted. Host-side selection information storage area (host-side game) equipped with a host-side game information storage means), a host-side stay stage counter for personal and statistical use, a host-side jackpot stage selection counter, a host-side button counter, and a host-side continuous hit counter. Information storage means) and a host-side questionnaire result storage area are provided. Further, in the present embodiment, the host-side fluctuation 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 access from the mobile communication terminal. If a negative determination is made in step S1401, the present process is terminated as it is. If the affirmative determination is made in step S1401, it is determined in step S1402 whether or not the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal includes the information indicating that it is the first time.

If affirmative determination is made in step S1402, the game in which the host-side storage area (host-side game information storage area, host-side selection information storage area) is accessed via the mobile communication terminal in step S1403. Performs a process of setting a storage area (individual game information storage area, personal selection information storage area) for accumulating and storing game information and selection information of a person.

Subsequently, in step S1404, a process of displaying a 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 this process is terminated. More specifically, after 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 password for the first time includes information that it is the first game. Further, in step S1404, the cookie information is stored in the accessed mobile communication terminal. As a result, when the mobile communication terminal accesses the server from the next time onward, the cookie information is also transmitted to the server, and the server confirms the cookie information even if the player does not log in. , It is possible to grasp which stored data the player's mobile communication terminal has accessed and display the corresponding display. It should be noted that the server may be configured to log in by entering the ID password each time the server is accessed.

Further, when a negative determination is made in step S1402, that is, when an access based on the QR code issued after the first time is received, the fluctuation number information (variation) is obtained from the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal in step S1405. (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 number counter on the host side, and the value after calculation is newly stored in the number counter on the host side.

In the following 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 current jackpot count is already stored in the host side jackpot count counter. And the value after calculation 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 has experienced. Turn on the flag.

After that, the variation rank determination process is performed in step S1408. In this embodiment, 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 enhanced, and the balance of the production changes more greatly than in the initial state. Or something. The rank determination is basically performed on the server, and in step S1408, it is determined whether or not the number of fluctuations stored in the host-side variation counter is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of fluctuations. 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, it is 3000 rotations, but after that, 5000 rotations are required to update one rank. If you play the pachinko machine 10 in the game hall from the start of business to the end of business, the total number of variable display times will be about 3000 rotations, depending on the business hours and the content of the game, and the second and subsequent ranks will be ranked in one day. It is difficult to raise it, but if it is the first rank, you can expect to raise it in half a day.

In the following step S1409, the 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, 30 times from the 2nd rank to the 3rd rank and 50 times from the 3rd rank to the 4th rank, but after that, 80 times are required to update one rank. If you play the pachinko machine 10 in the game hall from the start of business to the end of business, the total number of big hits will be about 25 times, depending on business hours and luck, and you can raise the rank in one day after the second rank. It's difficult, but if it's the first rank, you can expect to rank up in a day.

In the following step S1410, the career rank determination process is performed. In the present embodiment, the career ranks are the first rank, which has never been derived from the premium reach during the mobile-linked game and can only be derived from the first premier reach, and the first premium reach is derived in the first rank. This has made it possible to derive the 2nd premium reach, and at the same time, the 2nd rank, which increases the probability of deriving the 1st premium reach, and the 2nd premium reach have been derived in the 2nd rank. This makes it possible to derive the 3rd premium reach, and at the same time, the 3rd rank, which increases the probability of deriving the 1st and 2nd premium reach, and the 3rd premium reach have been derived in the 3rd rank. There is a fourth rank in which the probability of deriving the first to third premium reach increases.

In the following step S1411, various selection information (information indicating the values of both personal and statistical stay stage counters, jackpot stage selection counters, button counters, and repeated hit counters) is obtained from the information transmitted from the mobile communication terminal. It reads and adds to the corresponding counter, and sets the corresponding flag. 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 is transmitted via the mobile communication terminal, so that the game is played. The individual selection information of the person is stored in the personal selection information storage area that can store the individual selection information of the player in the game information storage area on the host side, and the selection information including other players is the player who plays the same model. The entire selection information is stored in the entire game information storage area that can be stored. 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 is performed on the display of the mobile communication terminal. After that, this process ends. The web page is based on "specs" that teach specifications such as the jackpot probability of the pachinko machine 10, "personal data management" that allows the player to check individual game records, and accumulated game information and selection information. There are operation items such as "password issuance" that can issue a new password. In this embodiment, the functions of steps S1408 to S1410 constitute the rank determination means.

Next, a 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. If a negative determination is made in step S1501, the present process is terminated as it is. If affirmative determination is made in step S1501, residual information determination processing is performed in step S1502.

In the residual information determination process, the current fluctuation rank is confirmed, the next fluctuation rank is grasped, the predetermined value as the total number of fluctuations required for updating to the next fluctuation rank is grasped, and the value is used. , The value obtained by subtracting the number of fluctuations stored in the host-side fluctuation counter, that is, how many remaining fluctuations need to be displayed in order to update to the next fluctuation rank, and the host-side remaining fluctuations storage area. Temporarily memorize in. Further, it is determined whether or not the calculated number of times is less than 1000 times, and if it is 1000 times or more, the number of times stored in the host-side remaining jackpot count storage area is erased.

Further, in the remaining information determination process, the current jackpot rank is confirmed, the next jackpot rank is grasped, the predetermined value as the total number of jackpots required for updating to the next jackpot rank is grasped, and the said Calculate the value obtained by subtracting the number of jackpots stored in the host-side jackpot counter, that is, how many jackpots are required to update to the next jackpot rank, and store the number of remaining jackpots on the host side. 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 times or more, the number of times stored in the host-side remaining jackpot count storage area is erased. In the present embodiment, the function of the residual information determination processing constitutes the calculation means and the allowable value determination means.

After step S1502, in step S1503, the fluctuation rank, the jackpot rank, the career rank, the player's individual selection information, the value of the host-side remaining fluctuation count storage area, and the value of the host-side residual fluctuation count storage area are referred to. , Set the password Perform the password setting process. If a value other than "0" is stored in the host-side residual fluctuation count storage area and the host-side residual fluctuation count storage area, the password includes the residual information indicating the value, but is "0". In other words, if there are 1000 or more remaining times before reaching the next variable rank, or 30 or more times remaining 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, and in the password reflection process of the password input process (see step S1213 in FIG. 9), residual information from the password. When is read, the corresponding information is stored in the rank storage area. As a result, you will be able to enjoy the production according to the rank. In the present embodiment, it is possible to select the design of the character appearing at a predetermined effect and the voice pattern to be output at a predetermined timing according to the fluctuation rank and the jackpot rank. Further, for example, when performing super reach, the value stored in the rank storage area may be confirmed, and the 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 issuance process is erased (see step S1309 in FIG. 10).

Further, the sub-control device 262 has a preference information storage area that can store information (preference information) based on the selection information accumulated by the individual 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, and whether there is a tendency to operate the effect button 125 at the time of button production. There is information indicating.

Then, in the password reflection process (see FIG. 9) in step S1213 described above, when the menu screen display is closed, the process of automatically shifting to the most selected stage in the normal gaming state and the start of the jackpot state. Occasionally, the process of setting the selection cursor to be aimed at the operation item that selects the most selected stage from the beginning on the stage selection screen, and increasing / decreasing the derivation ratio of the button effect (change the selected effect table). ) Processing is performed. The stored contents of the preference information storage area are erased at the same time when the QR code issued in the code issuance process is erased.

In addition, as described above, in the present embodiment, the questionnaire may be conducted during the jackpot state (second round), but the contents of the questions in the questionnaire also reflect the contents stored in the preference information storage area. Will be done. For example, in the non-mobile interlocking game state, "How many times has this model been played? 1; First time, 2; 2nd to 4th, 3; 5 times or more", "How many times a month in the game hall" Do you visit? 1; 1 time or less, 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. The question content is selected. On the other hand, in the mobile-linked game state, in addition to the question content in the non-mobile-linked game state (some may be omitted), the stage in the normal game state most selected by the player is "○○ stage". What do you like? 1; Production, 2; Character, 3; Others "," What do you like about the production? 1; Step-up notice, 2; Super reach, 3; Button production " Be selected. In addition, the number of questions is limited to three during one big hit, and the questionnaire display ends at 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 count storage area (counter) as the remaining number storage means, and a residual variation flag and a remaining winning flag corresponding to these, respectively. , When the remaining information is read from the password, in the remaining number setting process (step S1214), the remaining number of times is set for the remaining variation number storage area and the remaining jackpot count storage area, and the corresponding residual variation flag and the remaining number are set. Turn on the winning flag. After that, when the residual fluctuation flag is turned on, the value of the remaining fluctuation count storage area is subtracted by 1 each time the fluctuation is displayed, and when the remaining winning flag is turned on, every time a jackpot state occurs. The value of the remaining jackpot count storage area is subtracted by 1. Then, when the value of the corresponding remaining variation number storage area or the remaining jackpot count storage area becomes "0" while the corresponding residual variation flag or the remaining winning flag is turned on, the variation rank or the jackpot rank is updated by one rank. As a result, the value of the corresponding rank storage area is changed (1 addition) so that the process corresponding to the new rank is executed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the fluctuation display until the next fluctuation rank is reached is 100 times, 50 times, 40 times, 30 times, 20 times, 10 times, 5 times, 3 times, 2 times, and 1 time. In that case, the variation display (decorative pattern display device 42) is configured to make an announcement (guidance) to the effect that the variation rank will increase in XX more times. Furthermore, when the number of jackpots until reaching the next jackpot rank is 10 times, 7 times, 5 times, 3 times, 2 times, and 1 time, the first variable display (decorative symbol display) after the jackpot ends. The device 42) is configured to give guidance that the jackpot rank will increase in XX more times.

Further, in the present embodiment, as factors for changing the effect state (state transition condition for shifting to the specific effect state) so that the selected effect changes, the fluctuation rank, the jackpot rank, the career rank, and the game In addition to the personal preference information of the person, a mission is set to change the production state according to the achieved items. More specifically, the jackpot state is generated 10, 20, 30, or 40 times in one game (mobile interlocking game), and the normal jackpot is continuously generated in one game (probability variable jackpot). (Without pinching) Generate 3 times, 5 times, 10 times, and after the jackpot state ends in one game, the fluctuation display is displayed 500 times to 599 times, 600 times to 699 times, 700 times to 799 times, 800 times to 899 times. Generate a jackpot state when executed 900 times or more, generate a variation display that generates a reach state within 20 rotations 3 times, 5 times, 7 times, 9 times, a specific sub-character (seahorse or The fluctuation display from which the manta, etc.) is derived is generated twice, three times, four times, and five times in a row. In addition, in a configuration in which the opening time and closing time of the game hall are set, a big hit can be made within 1 hour of opening the game hall, a big hit can be made within 1 hour of closing the game hall, and the like.

The success / failure and count of each of these missions are managed by flags and counting counters as game information storage means corresponding to each, and when the mobile-linked game is terminated, the flags indicating the success / failure corresponding to each mission are confirmed. If there is a mission achieved, include that information in the QR code. However, the value of the counter used to judge the success or failure of the mission is not included in the QR code, and regardless of the count value (whether the count number is 0 or one step before the mission is completed). ), The same process (corresponding mission not achieved).

The variable rank, jackpot rank, count for updating the career rank, etc. are also included in one of the missions. In addition, the mission that is achieved (rank update) by counting the specified number is a counting mission, and various information to be counted (for example, a jackpot state that is the target of the number of jackpots has occurred). , The occurrence of a normal jackpot that is the target of the number of consecutive normal jackpots, the occurrence of a reach state that is the target of the number of reach occurrences within 20 rotations, etc.) corresponds to the counting game information, and the counter that counts it. Consists of the game information counting means. Further, the variable display information and the jackpot information transmitted to the server at the end of the mobile interlocking game are the first count information, and the corresponding counter value is the target of other counting missions in which the corresponding counter value is not transmitted. The information to be referred to is the second count information.

In addition, the mission that is achieved by the occurrence of the target production or game state in a limited situation is a limited mission, and various information that the target production or game state has occurred corresponds to the limited game information. A flag for storing success or failure constitutes a limited system achievement information storage means. By the way, although detailed explanations are omitted, in various missions, when a target event occurs, it is possible to teach that the mission is about to be completed or to determine whether or not to generate a mission. It is supposed to be done. That is, for example, in the case of a mission related to fluctuation display, when executing the fluctuation display, the number of fluctuations until the mission is achieved is confirmed, and the remaining number of times is the number of times to teach that the mission is near to be achieved. In that case, the process of teaching is performed. Further, for example, in the case of a mission in which a normal jackpot occurs three times in a row, a counter that counts the number of consecutive hits and the number of consecutive hits between the decision to generate the jackpot and the jackpot state. Check the value, and if it is the second time in this count, the mission of the normal jackpot three times in a row will be achieved if the next time is also a normal jackpot at the ending of the jackpot state and the fluctuation display immediately after that. Teach that, etc.

By the way, in the present embodiment, when affirmative determination is made in the determination (step S1108) of whether or not the code issuance operation of the menu display process (see FIG. 8) has been performed, the code issuance process (see FIG. 10) is performed. It is configured so that the mission confirmation process is performed before it is performed. Hereinafter, the mission confirmation process will be described with reference to FIG. By the way, in the present embodiment, in the code issuance screen display in step S1109 of FIG. 8, the "code issuance screen" is not displayed suddenly, but the "mission confirmation necessity screen" asking whether or not to confirm the mission. Is displayed.

First, in step S1601, it is determined whether or not the mission confirmation necessity screen is displayed. If affirmative determination is made in step S1601, it is determined in step S1602 whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated. If a negative determination is made in step S1602, this process is terminated as it is. By the way, on the "mission confirmation necessity screen", the purpose of the screen display and the selection items of "yes" and "no" are displayed, and the items can be selected and decided by the effect button 125 and the cross button 126. ..

On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S1602, it is determined whether or not "Yes" is selected in step S1603. If an affirmative determination is made in step S1603, the mission list screen (see FIG. 12 (c)) displaying a list of missions that are about to be achieved is displayed in step S1604, and then this process is terminated. .. For example, if the fluctuation display until reaching the next fluctuation rank is 200 times or less remaining (it is less than the execution standard of the guidance performed during the fluctuation display), the "variation" is displayed on the mission list screen. The "Rank" item is displayed, and when you move the cursor to the "Variable rank", "150 times or less remaining" is displayed. Also, for example, if it is 1 hour after the game hall rotates, the item "Within 1 hour of opening" will be displayed, and if you move the cursor to it, "If you make a big hit within 20 minutes from now, the mission will be cleared." Etc. are displayed. In addition, for example, when 4 reach states occur between 15 fluctuation displays, the item "5 reach within 20 rotations" is displayed, and when the cursor is placed there, "5 more times". If a reach is generated between the fluctuation displays of, the mission is cleared. " In addition, "achievement is near" here means that the number of times is less than the predetermined allowable number up to the specified number associated with the achievement of the count system mission, and the limited system mission. If a predetermined effect or game state that is the target of the above can be made to appear at this stage, it means that the corresponding limited mission is achieved.

Further, if a negative determination is made in step S1603, that is, if "No" that does not want to display the mission list screen is selected, the code issuance screen (QR code) is displayed in step S1605, and then the present. End the process.

If a negative determination is made in step S1601, it is determined in step S1606 whether or not the mission list screen is displayed. If a negative determination is made in step S1606, the present process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if affirmative determination is made in step S1606, it is determined in step S1607 whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated. If a negative determination is made in step S1607, this process is terminated as it is. By the way, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), in the "mission list screen", the item "return to the game" and the item "finish the game (issue a QR code)" are displayed at the bottom thereof. , The effect button 125 and the cross button 126 can be used to select and determine an item.

On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S1607, it is determined in step S1608 whether or not the item "return to game" is selected. If a negative determination is made in step S1608, that is, if the selection to end the game is made, the code issuance screen is displayed in step S1605, and then this process is terminated. As a result, it is confirmed that the mobile-linked game will end (normally, it will be impossible to count the counters that count consecutive big hits ○ times from the continuation).

On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S1608, that is, if the item "return to game" is selected (or if another cancel operation is performed), the main menu screen is displayed in step S1609. After that (the process of closing all menu screens may be performed), this process is terminated. In other words, after confirming the mission that is about to be achieved, it is possible to return to the mobile-linked game without displaying the QR code. By the way, even if you do not intend to end the mobile-linked game, by performing the operation to end the mobile-linked game up to the point where the mission list display is displayed, basically, the mission can be done at any time except during the variable display or the jackpot state. You can check the list.

In addition, depending on the cleared mission or its combination, a new effect state (the type of effect to be derived and the balance to be derived will change) will be given, but it may be unilaterally pressed. Instead, it may be configured so that the player can select from the production states that he / she has experienced so far (so that he / she can do it on either the pachinko machine 10 side or the server side). Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to select whether or not to display the mission list screen at the end of the mobile interlocking game, but it may be configured to be displayed without fail. In the present embodiment, the decorative symbol display device 42, the function of displaying the number of variable display times and the number of jackpots until the variable rank and the jackpot rank are updated during the variable display, and the mission list when the mobile-linked game is terminated. The function of displaying the screen constitutes the teaching means that is about to be achieved.

The QR code issued in the code issuance process is deleted from the remaining fluctuation number storage area, the remaining jackpot count storage area, the two remaining setting flags, and the flags and counters used to determine the success or failure of various missions. It will be reset at the same time. Further, for example, in response to rank-up or mission achievement, the event display may occur over a plurality of variable displays in the decorative symbol display device 42. That is, for example, by checking the values in the remaining fluctuation number storage area and the remaining jackpot count storage area, the remaining number of times until the rank up can be grasped. The value of the storage area and the number of remaining jackpots is counted down at the time when the start winning unit 33 is won (starting winning process), and all the values are held at the time when the value becomes "0"). Or, in a part of the variation display (including the variation display in which the value of the remaining variation number storage area and the remaining jackpot number storage area becomes "0"), a series of displays (for example, the residual variation number storage area and the remaining jackpot). A display is made to prepare for the party for the variable display where the value of the number storage area becomes "0", and the party is displayed in the variable display where the value of the remaining variable number storage area and the remaining jackpot memory area becomes "0". At the same time, a predetermined change may occur in the appearing character (for example, the clothes may be changed), and the changed mode may be continuously maintained in the subsequent variation display.

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

As described in detail above, according to the first embodiment, the game information (variation number counter,) stored and stored in the game information storage area for the QR code displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 of the pachinko machine 10. When the jackpot count counter and the value of the experienced flag are included, the selection information (both personal and statistical stay stage counters, jackpot stage selection counters, buttons) stored in the selection information storage area is included. It is configured to include a counter and a value of a continuous hit counter). In other words, in order to understand the information that the player wants to know or collects and the customer needs in order to use it as a reference material when the player looks back on his / her own game or to receive services according to the game history. It is a set with information that the game machine maker wants to know. Therefore, when the player reads the QR code with the mobile communication terminal after the game and communicates with the server, information useful for both the player side and the game machine maker side can be sent to the server. In particular, the selection information is fast, accurate, and widespread (more players can respond) to avoid out-of-date, off-target, or over-biased information. Can be done. Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to obtain detailed data such that a person who selects a predetermined stage does not perform a button operation so much. As a result, fresh and accurate information can be obtained in sequence, and it is possible to make use of such good information and work on the development of a new model that meets the expectations of the player. In other words, while retaining the goodness of the past by leaving elements that are popular with players, conversely, removing unpopular elements to simplify them, or replacing them with other elements to suppress complications. You can also make new attempts while doing so.

Further, in the present embodiment, in the game information storage area, only the game information in the mobile-linked game state, which is between the time when the password input operation is performed and the time when the QR code including the game information and the selection information is displayed, is displayed. It will be remembered. Therefore, the game information of the individual player can be reliably stored, and the data storage capacity of the game information in the pachinko machine 10 can be suppressed as much as possible.

Further, in the selection information storage area, there is a storage area for the individual player who stores the selection information of the individual player (during the game), and a statistical storage area for storing the selection information of all the players who have played the pachinko machine 10. The storage area for statistics is provided, and not only the selection information in the mobile-linked gaming state but also the selection information in the non-mobile-linked gaming state is stored in the storage area for statistics. Therefore, selection information other than that of the player who sent the data is also sent. This allows more selection information to be obtained on the server.

In addition, the stored contents of the game information storage area and the stored contents of the personal storage area among the selected information storage areas are deleted when the QR code is displayed and the mobile interlocking game is terminated. On the other hand, regarding the stored contents of the storage area for statistics in the selected information storage area, the QR code is displayed and remains without disappearing even after the mobile interlocking game is finished. Therefore, it is possible to send more selection information to the server (also send selection information for other players at once) while suppressing the data storage capacity of the pachinko machine 10 as much as possible. Further, for example, in the case of a configuration in which the stored contents of the statistical storage area of the selected information storage area are erased when the QR code is displayed, for example, the player displays the QR code at the end of the game. However, when the QR code is not read and transmitted to the server, the selection information of the player (and the game in the non-mobile interlocking game immediately before the player plays the mobile interlocking game is displayed. If this is done, the selection information stored and stored at that time) will not be sent to the server and will not remain on the pachinko machine 10 side. On the other hand, according to the present embodiment, even after the QR code is displayed, the stored contents of the statistical storage area of the selected information storage area are retained, so that there is a possibility that another player will send the QR code to the server. Be left behind. Therefore, the action and effect of obtaining more selection information can be more reliably achieved.

Further, in the server, the game information stored in the host-side game information storage area and the selection information stored in the host-side selection information storage area, in this example, the selection information stored in the player's personal storage area. A password will be issued according to the above. More specifically, the password includes not only the rank information indicating each rank given 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 so far by the individual player, that is, the player's hobbies and tastes can be reflected in the game, and the appropriate production is performed according to the tendency of the individual player's hobbies and tastes. (In this example, in the normal game state, by entering the password, the stage is automatically switched to the player's favorite stage, and the frequency of button production is increased or decreased). As a result, the playability can be improved by retrofitting, and in particular, in the present embodiment, the player feels that the gaming machine becomes familiar with the player as the game is repeated, and the player feels comfortable playing the game. Can be done. In addition, it is possible to eliminate the situation in which the same operation must be performed every time in order to put the pachinko machine 10 in a state of one's preference (for example, to make it one's favorite stage) within a range that the player can select. Furthermore, since the production balance changes from time to time according to 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 selections of the selection effects. For example, it is possible to ask for a production that you dislike (not interesting) or why you like a particular production. Therefore, more information can be collected, and it is possible to more reliably avoid a situation in which a gaming machine that does not meet the needs of the player is produced.

Further, in the present embodiment, the contents of the questionnaire can be changed according to the information (information on the player's hobbies and tastes) based on the selection information included in the password entered in the pachinko machine 10. That is, for example, when the player himself has selected an overwhelmingly large number of diving stages in the past, the decorative symbol display device 42 "Please tell me the reason why you like the diving stage. 1; Tempo of the game ( It is also possible to display "I like the simple place). 2; I like the characters that appear. 3; I like the sound." Therefore, it is possible to carry out 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, the questionnaire can be conducted relatively smoothly (without feeling too much stress). I can answer.

If a large number of questions are prepared and randomly derived, the questions may be biased or may be off-target to the player's hobbies and tastes. However, in this embodiment, the questions are accurate. Can be derived. Therefore, the questionnaire can be efficiently conducted, a more suitable answer can be obtained, the number of times the questionnaire effect is derived can be reduced, and the questionnaire effect is derived many times during the game, which makes the player disgusted. It is possible to suppress the situation of feeling.

In addition, in the questionnaire production, the display asking whether or not 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 non-participation in the questionnaire is displayed. Is performed, or if there is no corresponding operation within a predetermined period, the contents of the questionnaire are 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 display of the questionnaire content is displayed, and no operation is performed here, or the player does not confirm the question content. Can suppress a situation in which the accuracy of the questionnaire result is significantly reduced due to making different selections (simply hitting the effect button 125 repeatedly).

Further, in the present embodiment, ranking is performed according to the number of fluctuations, the number of big hits, and the presence or absence of experience in deriving premium reach, and the content of the production can be changed according to the rank. That is, it has become possible to derive an effect that could not be derived until now, and it has become possible to enhance the customization function. Further, the determination of the rank update and the accumulation of the game information of the game over a plurality of times are performed on the server. Therefore, in order to update the rank, it is necessary to repeat the mobile-linked game, so it is necessary to have the player actively participate in the mobile-linked game, and by extension, provide more selection information. can.

Further, in the case of a configuration in which the total game information is accumulated and stored on the server side, even if the condition for updating the rank is cleared at the time of the game, the rank is not updated unless the information indicating that is transmitted to the server side. Therefore, the update of the rank will be reflected from the next game.

However, the game starts from a short time before the number of fluctuations and the number of big hits reaches the predetermined number of times as a condition for rank update, and even if the number of fluctuations reaches the specified number of times early, the game is ended once. Unless the steps of displaying the QR code, accessing the server, and entering the issued password are taken into consideration, there is a concern that the change in the production corresponding to the new rank cannot be enjoyed. For this reason, the player who has achieved the condition for updating the rank and wants to enjoy the corresponding effect will have to take extra time to end the game once as described above. In addition, even after achieving the rank update conditions, the number of fluctuations and the number of big hits are accumulated without accessing the server, so the period during which you can enjoy the production corresponding to the next updated rank will be significantly shortened. Or, there is a risk that the condition of jumping one rank higher and updating to two higher ranks will be achieved, and the opportunity to enjoy the production corresponding to the next higher rank will be lost. There is.

In this regard, 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 as a condition for rank update is less than the allowable value (the number of fluctuations is less than 1000 times). , The number of big hits is less than 30), the password is configured to include residual information indicating the number of fluctuations up to the specified number of times and the number of big hits. Therefore, even if the game is not finished once, it is possible to change the effect corresponding to the update of the rank. Therefore, as long as the conditions for updating the rank are cleared in the game, it is possible to derive the effect corresponding to the new rank without causing the player to take extra time. Furthermore, it is possible to sufficiently give an opportunity to enjoy the production 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 as a condition for rank update is more than the allowable value, the password is configured so that the remaining information is not included. ing. In this way, since the password does not always include the remaining information, the total number of password patterns can be reduced as much as possible. Generally, as a combination of words that compose a password when entering a password, not only a combination that is permitted to be input but also a combination that is not permitted is required. If the total number of combinations of password words is large, the password is used. It is necessary to lengthen the password and increase the number of types of words that can be selected 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 enters the password. Etc. can be planned. As a result, the password input operation is difficult, so the input work is avoided, the game cycle via the mobile communication terminal and the server stops there, and the chance of obtaining data (selection information) about the player is reduced. It is possible to suppress the situation where the password is lost.

Further, the sub-control device 262 of the pachinko machine 10 has a remaining fluctuation number storage area and a remaining jackpot number storage area for storing the remaining number of fluctuations and the number of jackpots required until the fluctuation rank and the jackpot rank are updated to the next rank. And the remaining variation flag and the remaining winning flag corresponding to each of these are provided, 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 performed for the first time (or when the game is restarted from the beginning), the password issued by the server does not contain the remaining information, but contains the 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 for updating to the next rank is achieved in the initial rank, it is possible to preferably change the effect corresponding to the update of the rank without causing the player to take extra time.

In addition, the number of times the variable rank and the jackpot rank can be updated from the initial rank to the next rank is the smallest compared to the number of times required for subsequent rank updates. That is, the fluctuation rank requires 1000 fluctuation displays from the 1st rank (initial rank) to the 2nd rank, 3000 fluctuation displays from the 2nd rank to the 3rd rank, and the ranks thereafter. It requires 5000 variable displays 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 from the 3rd rank to the 4th rank. It requires one jackpot, and after that it requires 80 jackpots to update one rank. In this way, by relatively loosening the update conditions from the initial rank to the next rank, the update conditions cannot be achieved even once, resulting in playability via the mobile communication terminal and the server. It is possible to suppress the situation where the person is not attracted and is shunned afterwards.

In the present embodiment, when the mobile interlocking game is performed, the remaining number of variable display times until the variable rank update is 100 times or less, or the remaining number of big hits until the big hit rank update is 10 times or less. , The decorative pattern display device 42 displays the remaining number of times until each rank is updated. Furthermore, when performing an operation to end a mobile-linked game, a mission list screen showing missions that are nearing completion is displayed. For this reason, players who are interested in the new production state that can be obtained by completing a mission can obtain information on missions that are nearing completion and choose to continue playing the game for a while. It can be performed. For this reason, for players who are playing games aiming for the production state obtained by completing the mission, it was one step closer to the achievement, but it is possible to stop there and enjoy the production state that is a privilege. It is possible to avoid the situation where it is carried over from the next time onward, or the situation where the user has to start over from the beginning again next time. As a result, it is possible to avoid the situation where the player feels regretful when he / she finds out that he / she has stopped the game one step before the mission is completed, and the player's own grace time (until the meeting time and the time to return home). It becomes easier to make a schedule related to the game, such as whether to complete the mission this time or next time, taking into account the time) and the business hours of the game hall, and the production state given according to the game experience (completed mission). It is possible to improve the convenience for enjoying the experience.

In addition, when ending the mobile-linked game, you can check the missions that are about to be achieved, so you unintentionally forget the initial goal at the start of this mobile-linked game and unintentionally move the mobile-linked game. It is possible to prevent a situation such as terminating. Furthermore, even if you do not intend to end the mobile-linked game, by performing the operation to end the mobile-linked game up to the point where the mission list display is displayed, basically, the mission can be performed at any time except during the variable display or the jackpot state. You can check the list. In this way, since the mission can be confirmed by the decorative symbol display device 42, it is possible to calmly confirm the mission that is nearing the achievement more reliably. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation in which it is confused and difficult to grasp when the achievement of a plurality of missions is near.

In particular, among the count missions, the count information of the counters (remaining fluctuation count storage area and remaining jackpot count storage area) corresponding to the fluctuation rank and the jackpot rank is included in the QR code at the end of the mobile interlocking game, and is included in the QR code and the server. Will be sent to. On the other hand, for other count missions, the achieved information will be included in the QR code and sent to the server, but the corresponding counter count information will be included in the QR code. And therefore not sent to the server. Therefore, once the mobile interlocking game is stopped, it will be recounted from 1. For this reason, as in the present embodiment, by teaching that the mission is about to be completed, the game is stopped shortly before the mission is completed, so that the road to the mission is more complete. The action and effect such as preventing the distance from being far away will be more prominent.

In addition, regarding the variable rank and the jackpot rank, the remaining number of times until the rank is updated is displayed as it is, so for example, compared to the one in which a specific effect is performed when the remaining number of times until the count system mission is achieved is within 10 times. You can clearly grasp the number of times to achieve it.

(Second Embodiment)
Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 17 to 23, focusing on the characteristic portion. Since the basic configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment, the description thereof will be omitted and the same member names and member numbers will be used.

In the second embodiment, the player can set the effect of the pachinko machine 10 on the server (homepage of the game machine maker). That is, as shown in FIG. 20, it is possible to set the appearance rate and the like of each effect in each stage in the normal gaming state. More specific effect setting items include the appearance rate of the notice effect that suggests the degree of expectation for the big hit, the appearance balance of the reach effect performed in the variable display where the big hit is taught or the reach is out of front and back, and the big hit. The appearance rate of the cut-in effect to raise the expectation for the occurrence, the distribution balance of the operation timing of the premium character (not shown) that teaches that the jackpot will occur, and various reach suggestions that suggest the expectation for the occurrence of the reach state. The presence or absence of a character can be mentioned. Of course, the type (target) and number of effect setting items are not particularly limited, and may be configured so that more detailed (many) settings can be made.

Regarding the setting of the effect setting items, as a general flow of the game, first, when the mobile interlocking game is registered for the first time, when the server is accessed, when the input regarding the player's personal information is completed, the "appearance rate of the effect is set. You can change the settings, but what do you do? By the way, you can change the settings at any time. " Here, when the effect setting item is set, the information about the setting content of the effect setting item is added to the password issued by the server, and the password is set by inputting the password into the pachinko machine 10. The game will be played with the balance of the production setting items.

In addition, the server stores and stores the game information and selection information of the player who has completed the initial registration, and also stores the setting contents of the effect setting items. Therefore, even in the next and subsequent mobile communication interlocking games, information regarding the setting contents of the effect setting items stored in the server will be added to the password.

Further, when the server is accessed by the mobile communication terminal based on the latest QR code information issued by the pachinko machine 10, the setting of the effect setting item can be freely changed at any time. In addition, in the present embodiment, the server is accessed in advance from a personal computer installed at the player's home or the like, even if the mobile communication terminal is not a mobile communication terminal performing mobile-linked games (cookie information is registered in the server). When the password issued to the server by the mobile communication terminal is entered into the server from the personal computer (or the server is accessed with the character string information in the URL format obtained when the latest QR code is read), the player It is possible to change the setting of the effect setting item corresponding to the own mobile-linked game and issue the password for the changed mobile-linked game.

Further, in the present embodiment, even if the mobile interlocking game is not performed, the effect setting items can be set and the game can be performed on the pachinko machine 10 according to the set contents. That is, even a player who does not play the mobile-linked game can access the server with a personal computer or the like and set the effect setting items so as to obtain the desired effect. Further, it is possible to issue a password for effect setting including the effect content of the set effect setting item and the information of the corresponding model. Then, by inputting the effect setting password into the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to enjoy the game according to the set contents of the set effect setting items.

In addition, on the server, it is possible to browse the setting contents of the effect setting items set by other players or the game machine maker and obtain the password for the setting. For example, a popularity vote for the setting contents of the production setting items is performed on the server, and the setting contents of the superior and the password thereof are disclosed. In addition, for example, as a manufacturer's recommendation, the image when set and the password are disclosed. Incidentally, the password only includes the setting contents of the effect setting items and the model information, and does not include the player's individual information such as the game information. For this reason, the password for the production setting has a smaller amount of information, and therefore has a smaller number of words than the password for a normal mobile-linked game. In addition, when accessing the server based on the QR code information issued by the pachinko machine 10 as part of the mobile interlocking game, or when the password issued to the server by the mobile communication terminal in advance is input from the personal computer to the server. If you log in by doing so, you can reflect the setting contents of the effect setting items set by other players and game machine makers in your own effect setting items and issue the password for the changed mobile interlocking game. It has become like.

In the present embodiment, in order to simplify the control on the pachinko machine 10 side and reduce the memory used, the pachinko machine 10 cannot set the effect setting items. The setting of the effect setting item may be configured to be changeable in 10. In this case, the convenience of changing the setting of the effect setting item is further improved. When adopting this configuration, in order to make the configuration so that the setting contents of the production setting items are continuously used in the mobile interlocking game, it is directed to the QR code in order to output the setting contents of the production setting items to the server side. It is necessary to include the setting contents of the setting items. Further, in the case of adopting such a configuration, if the password for the mobile interlocking game is input to the pachinko machine 10 in order to perform the mobile interlocking game and then the password for the effect setting is input, the password for the effect setting is used. , The content of the effect setting item may be changed.

Further, in the present embodiment, random or original can be selected in various settings of the effect setting items. If random is set, the server will decide one of the options, but the player will not be informed of the decided content at that time, and the mobile interlocking game password of the setting content will be entered. After inputting and playing a mobile interlocking game with the pachinko machine 10, the QR code can be read by a mobile communication terminal, and when accessing the server, it can be known by opening the setting screen of the effect setting item. ing. As a result, it is possible to add fun such as answering, and it is possible to improve the motivation for mobile-linked games. Further, all-random and all-original settings for the entire selection item, random setting for each column on the setting screen of the effect setting item, original setting for each column, and the like are also possible.

Further, in the present embodiment, a special effect that cannot be set independently can be derived by combining the settings of the effect setting items. For example, in the present embodiment, as a notice effect, a "fish school effect" that is displayed so as to cross the decorative pattern display device 42 is performed, and normally (original), a fish school effect is performed. A big hit state occurs in about 40% of the cases. And, in this embodiment, the probability that the fish school effect appears when the big hit state occurs and the probability that the fish school appears at the time of the front-back off reach can be set respectively, but both appearance probabilities are the same. Moreover, when it is set to 60% or less, as a special effect, a school of fish (large fish school) composed of relatively large fish that is not derived in the original state is set to appear.

Further, for example, in the present embodiment, one to three of the reach effects "Kuroshio reach", "coral reach", and "marine reach" can be eliminated (prevented from appearing). Above, any one can be set as a favorite. In the present embodiment, if any one of "Kuroshio Reach", "Coral Reach", and "Marine Reach" is unnecessary and one of them is set as a favorite, as a special effect, "Treasure reach", which is a reach effect that is not derived in the original state, is set to be derived.

In addition, it is not clearly stated on the server that the "large fish school" and "treasure reach" are set to be derived, and the corresponding password is entered into the pachinko machine 10 to actually "large fish school" and "treasure reach". The player cannot confirm until is derived. Further, in the present embodiment, the server side is set so that the "large fish school" and the "treasure reach" are derived so that the "large fish school" and the "treasure reach" appear on the pachinko machine 10. A password is issued, but for example, the server side issues a password that purely indicates the setting content of the effect setting item, and the pachinko machine 10 that inputs the password determines whether there is a combination that generates a special effect. It may be configured to make the corresponding settings.

Further, on the pachinko machine 10 side, as in the first embodiment, when a password is entered, a password reflection process is performed in which the information included in the entered password is reflected in the game of the pachinko machine 10. In the password reflection process, the corresponding information is stored based on the game information indicating the player's gaming experience on the same model as the pachinko machine 10 included in the mobile-linked game password and the selection information indicating the player's preference. Performs the process of storing in the area. In particular, in the present embodiment, the RAM 553 of the sub control device 262 is provided with a setting storage area as a setting storage means for storing the setting contents of the effect setting items set by the player, with respect to the setting storage area. , The process of storing the setting contents of the effect setting items included in the mobile interlocking game password is performed.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 21, the set storage area has a storage area at the time of hit and a storage area at the time of off, corresponding to the "fish school production", and each has a 100% probability of producing the fish school. If it is set to be performed with, the required flag is set to on, and if it is set to be performed with a probability of 0%, the none flag is set to on. In addition, when it is set to be performed with a probability of 10% to 90% (selectable in increments of 10%), information indicating an effect setting counter used when deciding whether or not to perform a school of fish effect is stored. Will be done.

In addition, there is a storage area at the time of probabilistic big hit and a storage area at the time of normal big hit corresponding to the "premium character", and each effect using the premium character (a big hit state occurs in the middle of the variable display). If it is set to perform with a 100% probability (such as teaching that the jackpot was actually won in the jackpot state that was started in a state where the type of jackpot is not specified) If the required flag is set to on and it is set to be performed with a probability of 0%, the none flag is set to on. Further, when it is set to be performed with a probability of 10% to 90%, information indicating an effect setting counter used when deciding whether or not to perform a premium accessory effect is stored.

In addition, when deriving a "large fish school", the large fish school flag is set to ON.

In addition, when the "reach effect" is derived with the original balance corresponding to the "reach effect", the original flag is turned on, and when the other balance is set, the type of reach effect is used. Of the plurality of reach effect tables (see FIG. 22) referred to when determining the above, information indicating the reach effect table to be referred to this time is stored.

In addition, in the case where it is set to perform the thumb reach at the time of the probabilistic jackpot with a 100% probability corresponding to the "summ reach" in which the character whose probability variation jackpot state is confirmed to occur if it appears in the decorative symbol display device 42 appears. The required flag is set to on, and if it is set to be performed with a probability of 0%, the none flag is set to on. Further, when it is set to perform with a probability of 50%, 10%, 5%, or 1%, information indicating an effect setting counter used when deciding whether or not to perform thumb reach is stored. To.

In addition, the required flag, none flag, or effect setting counter is set corresponding to the "cut-in effect", and the setting to specify the table to be referred to is set corresponding to the "operation timing of the premium character". This is done, and the flag is set individually for the "reach suggestion character".

As described above, there are two types of password input in this embodiment. When inputting a password including game information, the password is input from the password input screen for mobile-linked games, and the game information is not included. When entering the setting contents of the effect setting items and the password including the model information, enter the password from the password input screen for the effect setting.

Further, as in the first embodiment, when the mobile interlocking game is terminated, the decorative symbol display device 42 performs a process (code issuance process) of displaying a QR code including information on the content of the game this time. It will be. In particular, in the present embodiment, the QR code includes information on the effect setting items. However, even though the information about the effect setting items is not the setting itself of the effect setting items, the information about the impression of how the game was actually played with the contents set on the server is sent.

More specifically, in the present embodiment, in the state where the mobile interlocking game is being performed, when the effect corresponding to the effect selection item is actually derived in the pachinko machine 10, a questionnaire display asking the impression of the effect is displayed. Is displayed on the decorative pattern display device 42. For example, when the super reach is derived, after such a fluctuation display (for example, the next fluctuation display, the jackpot is displayed when a jackpot state occurs, and the demo screen is displayed when the fluctuation display is not held). , A part of the decorative pattern display device 42 is used to display an impression of the contents of the production.

In response to such a display, the player operates the effect button 125 to perform the corresponding input. Although not shown, the effect button 125 of the present embodiment has a relatively large main button located in the center, a left button arranged to the left of the main button, and a right button arranged to the right of the main button. And have. For example, during the next variation display of the variation display in which the Kuroshio reach has occurred, the picture of the effect button 125 is displayed on the decorative pattern display device 42, and "If you like the Kuroshio reach, right button, if you do not like it, "Press the left button", "Press the main button in the middle when you have finished inputting", etc. are displayed.

Further, the RAM 553 of the sub control device 262 is provided with a good / bad counter corresponding to each item in the setting storage area. The good / bad counter is a counter that can take a value of 0 to 20, and the reference value (initial value) is 10 (10 is set at the start of each mobile interlocking game). Then, during the period of listening to the impression of the corresponding effect, if the right button is operated, 1 is added each time, and if the left button is operated, 1 is subtracted each time.

The information on the value of the good / bad counter is included in the QR code displayed at the end of the mobile interlocking game, and the server may change the effect setting based on the information on the good / bad counter. In the present embodiment, when the information indicating that the value of the corresponding good / bad counter has become 0 is received, the effect appearance rate is reduced by one step (for example, if the appearance rate of the school of fish is 40%, it is reduced to 30%). When the information indicating that the value of the corresponding good / bad counter has reached 20, the effect appearance rate is increased by one step.

In the present embodiment, the effect button 125 (main button, left button, right button) and the display of the preference option for the effect on the decorative symbol display device 42 constitute the preference input means, and the preference counter stores the preference information. Corresponds to means.

Next, the normal processing of the sub-control device 262 will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S3901, the port corresponding to the command input of the input / output port 554 is confirmed, and it is determined whether or not the command transmitted from the main control device 261 has been received.

If a command has been received, the command is stored in the command buffer of the RAM 553 in step S3902. The command buffer of the RAM 553 is composed of a ring buffer that temporarily stores commands transmitted from the main control unit 261. The ring buffer has a predetermined storage area, commands are stored with regularity from the start to the end of the storage area, and when commands are stored in all the storage areas, the command is stored at the start of the storage area. The return command is configured to be updated. Therefore, when the command is stored and when the command is read, the storage pointer and the read pointer in the command buffer are updated, and the command is stored and read based on the respective pointers.

In the following step S3903, a hold information storage process is performed in which the information of the starting command output from the main control device 261 is stored in the hold information storage area provided in the RAM 553. As described above, the starting command sent when the game ball enters the upper winning opening 33a or the lower winning opening 33b is triggered by either the upper winning opening 33a or the lower winning opening 33b. Information indicating whether the display is variable, information indicating whether the information is variable corresponding to the jackpot, information indicating the jackpot type, and information indicating the reach type are included.

The hold information storage area includes a first hold information storage area and a second hold information storage area each having four hold areas (hold 1 to hold 4 areas), similarly to the special variable hold area of the main control device 261. It has one execution area. In the first hold information storage area, a big hit is made according to the reception history of the starting command based on the first change display (information stored in the first special change hold area) triggered by the entry into the upper winning opening 33a. Fluctuation information such as whether or not, jackpot type, and reach type are stored in chronological order. Further, in the second hold information storage area, according to the reception history of the starting command based on the second change display (information stored in the second special change hold area) triggered by the entry into the lower winning opening 33b. , Fluctuation information is stored in chronological order. By adopting this configuration, the information of the first fluctuation display (variation information) triggered by the entry into the upper winning opening 33a and the information of the second variation display triggered by the entry into the lower winning opening 33b. As a result, the fluctuation information stored in the first and second special fluctuation holding areas of the main control device 261 can be grasped in the sub control device 262 as well. In the hold information storage process, the hold lamps 46a and 46b are also turned on when the advance command is received (the number of holds increases).

If a negative determination is made after step S3903 or in step S3901, the process proceeds to step S3904 and the first counter update process is performed. In the first counter update process, a part of the effect setting counter (detailed later, the sub-effect setting counter described later) used when determining the effect is updated.

After step S3904, in step S3905, it is determined whether or not the execution timing of the next normal process has been reached, that is, whether or not a predetermined time (2 msec in this example) has elapsed from the start of the previous normal process. Then, if the predetermined time has already passed, the process proceeds to step S3906, while if the predetermined time has not yet passed since the start of the previous normal processing, the process proceeds to step S3914.

In step S3906, the update processing of the symbol counter used for displaying the decorative symbol and the effect setting counter used for determining the effect, which are excluded from the update of step S3903, is executed. Subsequent, in step S3907, hold processing is performed. In the hold process, the information in the hold information storage area is shifted or the hold lamps 46a and 46b are turned on in accordance with the reception of the change pattern command (the hold change display is digested).

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 23, as the effect setting counters of the present embodiment, 90% counters (values are 0 to 9), 80% counters (values are 0 to 10), and 70% counters (values are 0 to 12). ), 60% counter (value is 0 to 14), 50% counter (value is 0 to 17), 40% counter (value is 0 to 21), 30% counter (value is 0 to 29), 20% counter (value is 0 to 29). Values are 0 to 44), 10% counters (values are 0 to 89), 5% counters (values are 0 to 179), 1% counters (values are 0 to 899), and sub 90% counters (values are 0 to 9). ), Sub 80% counter (value is 0 to 10), sub 70% counter (value is 0 to 12), sub 60% counter (value is 0 to 14), sub 50% counter (value is 0 to 17), There are a sub 40% counter (value is 0 to 21), a sub 30% counter (value 0 to 29), a sub 20% counter (value 0 to 44), and a sub 10% counter (value 0 to 89). In step S3904, the sub 90% counter, the sub 80% counter, the sub 70% counter, the sub 60% counter, the sub 50% counter, the sub 40% counter, the sub 30% counter, the sub 20% counter, and the sub 10% counter are It is updated, and the remaining effect setting counters are updated in step S3906. In addition, the value of each effect setting counter is stored in the corresponding counter buffer each time it is updated.

After the hold process, in step S3908, a password input process for inputting a mobile interlocking game password or a password for effect setting is performed. In the password input process, as described above, information such as the setting contents of the effect setting items included in the password is converted into the corresponding format and stored in the corresponding storage area.

In the following step S3909, a code issuance process for issuing a QR code is performed at the end of the mobile interlocking game. In the code issuance process, as described above, a QR code including game information, selection information, and information on the value of the like / dislike counter indicating the impression of the effect corresponding to the effect setting item is issued. In the present embodiment, even if the issue screen is erased, the stored contents of the set storage area are left as they are, but the stored contents of the set storage area are reset when the issue screen is erased (the storage contents of the set storage area are reset). The original settings may be made). Further, in the present embodiment, the stored contents of the setting storage area are configured to be resettable by an operation on the menu screen of the decorative symbol display device 42, and are also reset even when the power is turned off. The reset means is configured by the functions of the menu screen for selecting whether to reset or not, the effect button 125, the cross button 126, and the sub control device 262 that resets and controls the stored contents of the set storage area according to the operation.

After that, in step S3910, the display setting process is performed. Here, based on the information stored in the command buffer of the RAM 553, various arithmetic processes such as generating a display command to be output to the display control device 45 and command output settings are performed. That is, here, the display mode to be displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 is determined. For example, when the variation pattern command and the symbol command are received, the sub-control device 262 refers to the corresponding table based on the variation type, the variation time, the stop symbol, and the like, and determines the display pattern and the like. Then, control such as outputting the determined item to the display control device 45 as a display command is performed.

The display control device 45 performs drawing processing in response to a command from the sub control device 262, and starts variable display of the decorative symbol on the decorative symbol display device 42. Once the fluctuation pattern command is received from the main control device 261, the symbol is designed in cooperation with the sub control device 262 and the display control device 45 until the fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern elapses. The variable display of is continued.

Here, the reach effect setting process performed in the display setting process of step S3910 will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S7101, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation pattern command has been received. If a negative determination is made in step S7101, this process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, when the affirmative determination is made in step S7101, it is determined whether or not the original flag of the storage area corresponding to the reach effect of the set storage area (see FIG. 21) is set to ON.

If an affirmative determination is made in step S7102, it is determined whether or not a jackpot state occurs in step S7103. If an affirmative determination is made in step S7103, the reach effect is determined in step S7104 with reference to the first reach effect table (see FIG. 22) among the plurality of reach effect tables. That is, the value of the reach effect selection counter updated at the timing of step S3906 is acquired in the range of 0 to 30, if it is 0 to 8, "Kuroshio reach", if it is 9 to 17, "coral reach", 18 to. If it is 29, it is set to perform "marine reach", and if it is 30, it is set to perform "normal reach". After step S7104, this process ends.

On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S7103, it is determined in step S7105 whether or not the reach is out of front and back. If an affirmative determination is made in step S7105, the reach effect is determined with reference to the second reach effect table (see FIG. 22) in step S7106. That is, the value of the reach effect selection counter is acquired, and if it is 0 to 13, it is "Kuroshio reach", if it is 14 to 21, it is "coral reach", if it is 22 to 29, it is "marine reach", and if it is 30, it is "marine reach". Set to perform "normal reach". After step S7106, this process ends.

On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S7105, the process is terminated after setting to perform "normal reach" in step S7107.

Further, if a negative determination is made in step S7102, that is, if some effect change is set for the reach effect, it is determined in step S7108 whether or not it is a big hit. If an affirmative determination is made in step S7108, any of the reach effect tables (third to eighteenth reach effect tables) supported in the storage area corresponding to the reach effect of the set storage area (see FIG. 21) in step S7109. Or: Refer to FIG. 22) to determine the reach effect. As shown in FIG. 22, when the 13th reach effect table to the 18th reach effect table are referred to, "treasure reach" may be selected. After step S7109, this process ends.

On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S7108, it is determined in step S7110 whether or not the reach is out of front and back. If an affirmative determination is made in step S7110, the reach effect is determined in step S7109, and then this process ends. On the other hand, if a negative determination is made in step S7111, "normal reach" is set in step S7111, and then this process ends.

In this embodiment, only in the case of the original setting regarding the reach effect, the ratio of the selected reach effect changes depending on whether the jackpot is a big hit or the front / rear is off. Even when the effect setting item is set to one's own preference, the ratio of the reach effect selected depending on whether the result is correct or not may be changed.

In addition, "Sam reach" is a reach effect that may be derived only when any one of "Kuroshio reach", "coral reach", "marine reach", and "treasure reach" is derived. Therefore, if it is decided that any of "Kuroshio Reach", "Coral Reach", "Marine Reach", and "Treasure Reach" will be derived, "Sam Reach" will be derived after the above reach effect setting process. It is necessary to perform the setting process of whether or not to make it (about 1/500 in the case of a probability variation jackpot in the original). In addition, the premium character may operate when a big hit state occurs regardless of the type of reach, and when performing a variable display that teaches the big hit, the premium character is used together with the above reach effect setting process. It is necessary to perform a process of setting whether or not to operate and the timing when operating.

Next, the advance notice effect setting process performed after the reach effect setting process in the display setting process of step S3910 will be described with reference to FIG. First, in step S7201, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation pattern command has been received. If a negative determination is made in step S7201, this process is terminated as it is.

On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S7201, it is determined in step S7202 whether or not it is super reach. By the way, super reach is a reach state in which any of "Kuroshio reach", "coral reach", "marine reach", and "treasure reach" is derived, and the fluctuation time is longer than "normal reach". ing.

If an affirmative determination is made in step S7202, it is determined in step S7203 whether or not it is a big hit. If the affirmative determination is made in step S7203, it is determined in step S7204 whether or not the zero flag of the storage area at the time corresponding to the "fish school effect" is set to ON. If a negative determination is made in step S7204, it is determined in step S7205 whether or not the required flag of the hit storage area corresponding to the "fish school effect" is set to ON.

When a negative determination is made in step S7205, in step S7206, an effect setting counter (see FIG. 23) to be used among a plurality of effect setting counters is specified in the storage area at the time corresponding to the “fish school effect”. Therefore, the value of the effect setting counter is acquired. In the following step S7207, it is determined whether or not the value of the acquired effect setting counter is any of 0 to 8. In the present embodiment, if the value of the effect setting counter is 0 to 8, the fish school effect is performed, but by changing the effect setting counter to be used according to the player's setting, the appearance probability of the fish school effect is changed. ing.

Further, in the present embodiment, as a warning effect in which the occurrence of the jackpot state is not confirmed only by the appearance, in addition to the "fish school effect", a display in which bubbles are generated from the lower part of the decorative pattern display device 42 upward is made. There is a "bubble production". If a negative determination is made in step S7207 or an affirmative determination is made in step S7204, the process for deriving the bubble effect is performed in step S7208, and then this process is terminated. In the present embodiment, when the super reach is performed, either the fish school effect or the bubble effect is always performed, but even if the super reach is performed, the advance notice effect may not be performed. It may be configured as.

On the other hand, if affirmative determination is made in step S7207, it is determined in step S7209 whether or not the large fish school flag is set to ON. If a negative determination is made in step S7209 or an affirmative determination is made in step S7205, the process of deriving the fish school effect is performed in step S7210, and then this process is terminated.

If an affirmative determination is made in step S7209, it is determined in step S7211 whether or not the value of the large fish school counter updated in the range of 0 to 13 is 0 to 5 at the timing of step S3906. If a negative determination is made in step S7211, the process proceeds to step S7210. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S7211, in step S7212, a process for deriving a large fish school effect is performed, and then this process is terminated.

Further, in the case of a negative determination in step S7203, that is, in the case of front-rear out-of-reach where super reach occurs, in step S7213, the zero flag of the out-of-store storage area corresponding to the "fish school effect" is set to ON. Determine if it is. If a negative determination is made in step S7213, it is determined in step S7214 whether or not the required flag of the storage area at the time of disconnection corresponding to the "fish school effect" is set to ON.

If a negative determination is made in step S7214, in step S7215, the effect setting counter to be used is specified among the plurality of effect setting counters in the storage area at the time of disconnection corresponding to the "fish school effect". Get the value of the counter. In the following step S7216, it is determined whether or not the value of the acquired effect setting counter is any of 0 to 8.

The effect setting counter is used in addition to the setting of the fish school effect (in this example, the operation probability of the premium accessory, the appearance rate of the thumb reach, and the appearance rate of the cut-in effect). Then, when the same effect setting counter is acquired at the same timing (timing without updating) in a plurality of settings, the combination pattern of the plurality of effects determined by using the same effect setting counter is always the same. There is a risk that it will end up. In this respect, in this example, a sub-effect setting counter whose update timing is different from that of the effect setting counter is provided, and when the appearance rates of a plurality of effects have the same probability, one of them uses the sub-effect setting counter. Will be set to.

If a negative determination is made in step S7216, or if a positive determination is made in step S7213, the process for deriving the bubble effect is performed in step S7217, and then this process is terminated. On the other hand, if affirmative determination is made in step S7216, it is determined in step S7218 whether or not the large fish school flag is set to ON. If a negative determination is made in step S7218 or an affirmative determination is made in step S7214, in step S7219, a process for deriving a school of fish effect is performed, and then this process ends.

If a positive determination is made in step S7218, it is determined in step S7220 whether or not the value of the large fish school counter is 0. If a negative determination is made in step S7220, the process proceeds to step S7219. On the other hand, if the affirmative determination is made in step S7220, the process of deriving the large fish school effect is performed in step S7221, and then this process is terminated.

Further, when a negative determination is made in step S7202, that is, when the super reach is not derived, the value of the bubble counter updated in the range of 0 to 7 is 0 or 1 at the timing of step S3906 in step S7222. Determine if it exists. If a negative determination is made in step S7222, this process is terminated as it is. On the other hand, if an affirmative determination is made in step S7222, the process is terminated after making settings for deriving the bubble effect in step S7223.

Returning to the description of FIG. 17, in the lamp setting process of step S3911, the lighting pattern of the lamp / illumination is set in order to synchronize with the display effect performed by the decorative symbol display device 42.

In the voice setting process of step S3912, the output pattern of the speaker SP is set in order to synchronize with the display effect performed by the decorative symbol display device 42. Further, when commands related to voice such as notification of error occurrence are transmitted from the main control device 261, settings for performing these controls are also made in step S3912.

In step S3913, an external output process for transmitting a control signal based on the settings of steps S3906 to 3912 to each device is executed. For example, a display command is transmitted to the display control device 45 when the decorative symbol display device 42 displays the variation of the decorative symbol.

After the processing of steps S3906 to S3912 performed every 2 msec is executed, or if a negative determination is made in step S3905, the process proceeds to step S3914, and whether or not the power cutoff occurrence information is stored in the RAM 553. To determine. The power-off occurrence information is stored when a power-off command is received from the main control device 261.

If the power-off occurrence information is not stored, the process proceeds to step S3915, and it is determined whether or not the RAM 553 is destroyed. If the RAM 553 is not destroyed here, the process returns to the process of step S3901 and the normal process is repeatedly executed. On the other hand, if the RAM 553 is destroyed, the processing is looped infinitely in order to stop the execution of the subsequent processing.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S3914 that the power cutoff occurrence information is stored, the power cutoff process is executed in step S3916. In the power off processing, the occurrence of interrupt processing is prohibited and each output port is turned off. In addition, the memory of the information on the occurrence of the power failure is also erased. After executing the power off processing, the processing loops infinitely.

As described in detail above, in the second embodiment, with respect to a plurality of effect setting items related to the effect, encoded selection information (mobile-linked game password or effect setting password) including the setting contents of the effect setting items by the player is used. ) Is input to the pachinko machine 10, so that the settings made outside the pachinko machine 10 and the settings that have actually been played can be reflected in this game. Therefore, it is not necessary to repeat the same setting from the beginning, and the convenience can be improved. In addition, the player can make his / her favorite production and make the game more comfortable and attractive. Therefore, for example, I like most of the specs and motifs (concepts), but I stop playing just because there are some effects that I don't like or because the appearance balance of each effect does not fall into my mind (2). It is possible to suppress situations such as not doing it often), and it is possible to have the player enjoy the pachinko machine 10 more (increase the chances that it will be liked).

Furthermore, once the effect setting items are set when performing mobile-linked games using mobile communication terminals and servers, it is not necessary to set the effect setting items for each game, but for mobile-linked games. By simply entering the password into the pachinko machine 10, the player's effect setting items can be set incidentally. Therefore, it is possible to change the settings related to the effect of the pachinko machine 10 relatively smoothly.

Further, the setting contents of the effect setting items are input to the pachinko machine 10 via the server. Therefore, on the server, it is possible to grasp the setting contents of the effect setting items of the entire player. Therefore, it is possible to disclose the setting contents and exchange information on the setting contents (popularity voting, etc.), and by sharing information, etc., a game system (mobile interlocking game) centered on the pachinko machine 10 can be created. You can enjoy it more. Furthermore, the gaming machine maker can grasp the preferences (trends) of the entire player, which can be utilized for the development of the gaming machine.

In addition, in the present embodiment, when an effect related to an effect setting item is performed on the pachinko machine 10, the impression of likes and dislikes for the effect is heard, and the effect button 125 is operated according to the likes and dislikes. It is configured so that the setting of the effect setting item can be changed based on the counter value by counting in the form of a value of a good / bad counter and sending the counter value to the server (via a mobile communication terminal). That is, it is possible to actually play a game, experience the effect related to the effect setting item, and input the impression of likes and dislikes to the effect into the pachinko machine 10 to reflect it. Therefore, the setting can be made closer to the player's wishes, and the player can play the game comfortably.

Further, in the present embodiment, it is possible to issue not only a password for mobile interlocking games that includes personal information of the player, but also a password for production settings that includes information on the setting contents of production setting items and compatible models. Of course, the pachinko machine 10 is also configured to support both passwords. That is, when performing a mobile-linked game, the password for the mobile-linked game includes the setting contents of the effect setting items, and if such a password is input, the game can be enjoyed with the set effect balance. .. Even other people can enjoy the game with the corresponding production balance by entering the password, but it is not possible for others to use the mobile-linked game password that includes personal information. In this regard, according to the present embodiment, a password for effect setting including the setting contents of the effect setting item and not including personal information is issued to the server, the password is input to the pachinko machine 10, and the effect included in the password is included. Corresponding processing such as storing the setting contents of the setting item in the setting storage area can be executed. For this reason, if you find a production setting that you like on the server, etc., you can easily write down the corresponding effect setting password (set the production setting items one by one according to your favorite settings). You don't have to do it) You can play the game with the production setting. Therefore, it is possible to more easily enjoy the gameplay, such as being able to change the production according to the player's preference (even a player who is not playing mobile-linked games can enjoy the game with his or her favorite production setting. can do.). In addition, since it is relatively easy to try a combination of a plurality of effect setting items set by another person, it is possible to easily find an effect setting that suits oneself.

Further, in the present embodiment, random selection can be selected in the setting of the effect setting item. For this reason, it is possible to meet the player's request that he wants a change from the original, but does not have a particular desired setting, or does not want to know the setting contents by himself.

In addition, in the present embodiment, a special effect that cannot be set by itself can be derived by combining the effect setting items selected by the player. That is, for example, if the probability of appearance at the time of hit and the probability of appearance at the time of off of the fish school production are the same at 60% or less, a large fish school production in which large fish that are not normally derived are derived. It has become so. In this case, it is possible to give fun similar to a treasure hunt, such as deriving a hidden effect. Therefore, it is possible to make people interested by setting the effect setting items, and it is possible to maintain motivation for the game.

The content is not limited to the description of the above-described embodiment, and may be implemented as follows, for example.

(A) The content and number of game information and selection information are not particularly limited and can be changed as appropriate. For example, for a slot machine as a game machine, various bonuses, ART (assist replay time), and other winning probabilities can be set in multiple stages, and depending on the settings, the winning probabilities of child actors can also be set. In the case where there is a difference, the number of times a child actor with a difference in winning probability is accumulated according to the setting is accumulated in the game information storage area, and by sending it to the server, the server calculates the winning probability of the child actor. The result may be configured to be displayable on the display of the mobile communication terminal.

Further, the selection effect that can be selected by the player is not limited to the stage selection in the normal time and the jackpot state, and the button effect, and can be changed as appropriate in place of or in addition to these. For example, after the reach state occurs, at the timing when the super reach occurs, one of a plurality of types of super reach can be selected by the player by operating the effect button 125 and the cross button 126, and the selection result is selected. May be stored and stored as selection information, and may be configured to derive a question as to why the super reach is selected in the questionnaire for mobile-linked games. Further, for example, in the case of a slot machine as a gaming machine, the stages in which a plurality of stop buttons are pressed in order to stop each of a plurality of reels are accumulated in association with the stage and the effect derived at that time. It may be configured to be memorized.

In addition, the customization function is not particularly limited. For example, the design of the appearing character (costume, etc.), the sound output during the production are arranged, and the rule of suggestion regarding the occurrence of the jackpot state is changed (). For example, in the case where the decorative pattern display device 42 displays the character's lines in a balloon and the character color changes from white to red to gold as the expectation for the jackpot increases, the gold color is derived. There is no high possibility of winning, but you may make sure to win, stop the derivation of red and gold, etc.). The customization function is configured so that the higher the rank, the more patterns that can be customized.

Further, the method of determining the effect setting items is not particularly limited, and rules may be appropriately set for each model. For example, when there are multiple setting items such as reach production, the setting indicating "like" is made for "Kuroshio reach", but the setting for "coral reach" and "marine reach" is not made at all. In this case, "Kuroshio Reach" is set to 60%, and "Coral Reach" and "Marine Reach" are selected when Super Reach occurs (selected when it is determined that Sam Reach does not occur). May be configured to be a ratio (20% each) obtained by dividing the remaining ratio (40%) evenly. In this case, it is possible to simplify the setting control of the effect setting items. Further, for example, the effect for which the setting has not been made may be configured so as not to be derived at all. In addition, it may be configured so that the setting screen of the effect setting item cannot be terminated (the setting cannot be completed) unless the main settings predetermined or all the settings are made.

(B) Further, in the above embodiment, the questionnaire may be derived for both the mobile-linked game and the non-mobile-linked game, but it may be configured to be derived only for the mobile-linked game, or it may be configured to be derived only for the mobile-linked game. It may be configured so that the questionnaire can be relatively easily derived in the game. In addition, the questionnaire may be configured not to 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 actually a probability variation jackpot but it is not possible to determine whether it is a probability variation jackpot or not, it is a probability variation jackpot. The effect of teaching that is always performed, or may be configured to increase the possibility of being performed.

In addition, even if the questionnaire information and the game information are compared on the server, it is determined whether or not the questionnaire information and the game information match, and the result is reflected in the password, and by extension, in the production of the pachinko machine 10. good. For example, when a player who answered "yes" to the question "Is this the first game of this model?" Checks the game information, the game does not answer the questionnaire correctly, such as when the number of games is about 10 times. The ratio of teaching the person to the probabilistic jackpot or the probabilistic mode at a relatively late stage rather than teaching at an early stage increases (check the special display devices 43L and 43R when the jackpot condition occurs). , If you do not understand the correspondence between the displayed contents and the jackpot type, it will be relatively easy to sort into patterns that cannot distinguish between the probabilistic mode and the time reduction mode even at the end of the jackpot state). On the contrary, it can be appropriately reflected to the player who answers the questionnaire correctly, such as being a probabilistic jackpot and being easily taught in the probabilistic mode at a relatively early stage.

(C) In the above embodiment, the QR code is displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 as the code information including the address information, the game information, and the selection information of the server. For example, the other two. It may be a dimensional code, a one-dimensional code, or a combination of symbols such as URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) (for example, a URL indicating a server address is followed by game information and selection information. (Add a character string). Further, in the above embodiment, the player (mobile communication terminal) is specified by using "HTTP Cookie", but the player is specified by another method (for example, the player registers an e-mail address). May be good. In addition, even if a dedicated application can be downloaded from the server and the game information and selection information can be read from the pachinko machine 10 by the mobile communication terminal and transmitted to the server by a communication method different from the above embodiment. good.

(D) The mobile communication terminal is not limited to a mobile phone or a smartphone, and may be a mobile PC or the like having a function of reading code information. Further, in the above embodiment, in the data exchange between the pachinko machine 10 and the mobile communication terminal, the QR code displayed on the pachinko machine 10 is read by the mobile communication terminal, and the server responds to the request of the mobile communication terminal. The issued password is input to the pachinko machine 10, but for example, wireless communication such as infrared rays may be used.

Further, in the above embodiment, the password is input to the pachinko machine 10 so that the game information and the selection information stored in the server can be reflected, but the configuration cannot be reflected (pachinko machine). A configuration in which the password is not input to 10) may be used.

Further, data is exchanged between the pachinko machine 10 and the server via the mobile communication terminal, but 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 configured to be communicable via the hall computer of the game hall. Further, the player holds a machine-to-table device that is installed on the side of the pachinko machine 10 in the game hall and has a function related to lending a game medium (a game ball if it is a pachinko machine, a medal if it is a slot machine). Provide a function to read and write information to a non-volatile portable storage means (card, etc.) capable of storing the number of gaming media being played. Then, when the player plays a game, the game information and the selection information are sent to the server via the hall computer, and the information corresponding to the game information and the selection information is transmitted from the server side to the server via the hall computer. The server-side device may be configured to write the information to the portable storage means. Further, when the player inserts the portable storage means into the platform device and reads the information at the time of the next game, the game can be performed according to the rank information and the player's hobbies and tastes as in the above embodiment. It may be configured as.

(E) In the above embodiment, both the selection information of the individual player and the selection information of the entire player who has played each pachinko machine 10 are stored and stored, but either one or the other is configured. , Both may be omitted. In that case, the storage capacity of the pachinko machine 10 and the server can be reduced. Furthermore, if the configuration is such that the player's individual selection information is not stored, the selection information of a specific player can be blurred, and the individual's hobbies / preferences are unknowingly highlighted (that is to the player). It is possible to suppress situations such as (being known and offended). Further, in the above embodiment, when the player agrees to accumulate personal selection information (for example, at the start of the mobile interlocking game (before and after the password input operation), a question and an operation item (for example) are asked to the decorative symbol display device 42. Only if you agree with the accumulation of personal selection information by displaying yes / no) or displaying questions and operation items at the time of initial registration on the server web page), personal selection information May be configured to accumulate.

In the above embodiment, the stored contents of the statistical storage area among the selected information storage areas are configured to be sequentially erased from the one in which one week has passed, but this period is not particularly limited. However, for example, it may be after a predetermined number of days (for example, 1 to 14 days) or after a predetermined time has elapsed, or after a predetermined number of fluctuations (for example, 3000 to 60,000 rotations) has been executed, or it may be deleted. It may be configured so that there is no program (there is no program to erase, all the selection information of the pachinko machine 10 so far is accumulated, and when the substrate is collected and analyzed, the accumulated selection information can be found).

Further, in the pachinko machine 10, when the code issuance screen is displayed and then closed, the accumulated game information is deleted and the selection information is not deleted, but the game information is not deleted. It may be configured to be erased at another timing, or the selection information may be configured to be erased at the timing of closing the code issuance screen. When the selection information is configured to be erased at the timing when the code issuance screen is closed (the selection information is added at any time on the server side), the storage capacity in the selection information storage area can be reduced.

(F) In the above embodiment, the password includes information based on the stored contents of the personal storage area among the selected information storage areas, and the player's individual tastes and tastes are reflected in the game. Information based on the stored contents of the storage area for statistics in the selected information storage area may be included in the password, and the hobbies and tastes (popularity voting) of the entire player may be reflected in the game.

In this case, for example, a player who plays for the first time is recommended to enjoy a popular production first, and the possibility of attracting the player's interest at the earliest possible stage is increased. It is possible to actively promote the goodness of the pachinko machine 10 by having the player who has selected only the production select a popular production as a trial and discover new goodness. can. Therefore, depending on the development of the game, it is possible to reduce the situation in which the potential of the pachinko machine 10 cannot be fully drawn out and the game cannot be played.

If the pachinko machine 10 has little playing experience, the hobbies and tastes of the entire player may be reflected, and if the pachinko machine 10 has some playing experience, the hobbies and tastes may not be reflected. Further, the player may be configured to be able to select whether to reflect the individual hobbies and tastes or the hobbies and tastes of the entire player. Furthermore, such selection may be made 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, simplify the processing related to password issuance, simplify the storage capacity, and reduce the time and effort required to enter the password.

(G) Further, when the pachinko machine 10 has little playing experience, the hobbies and tastes of the entire player are reflected, and when the playing experience is accumulated to some extent, the hobbies and tastes of the individual players are reflected. You may. More specifically, when issuing a password, for example, it is determined whether or not the fluctuation rank and the jackpot rank are both "2" or higher, and if a negative determination is made, the host side game information storage area and the entire host side are determined. A password is issued according to the stored contents of the selected information storage area (the storage area for statistics among the selected information storage areas), while if affirmative judgment is made, the host side game information storage area and the host side personal selection information are issued. A password may be issued according to the stored contents of the storage area (a personal storage area among the selected information storage areas). In this case, in a state where the gaming experience of the corresponding pachinko machine 10 is inexperienced and the amount of data of the player's individual hobbies and tastes cannot be acquired so much, the hobbies and tastes of the entire player are reflected in the game, and the pachinko machine 10 You can positively appeal the goodness. Further, when the player has some experience in playing the corresponding pachinko machine 10, the hobbies and tastes of the individual player can be reflected in the game, and the player can play the game more comfortably. Therefore, it is possible to provide suitable playability according to the situation.

In addition, in order to determine which of the personal selection information storage area and the overall selection information storage area is to be reflected in the game (whether it is included in the password) on the server side, the personal selection information storage area and the overall selection information Compared with the case where both storage contents of the storage area are included in the password, the number of information identified from the password, and by extension, the total number of patterns of the password can be reduced. Therefore, the password can be shortened as much as possible, and the number of types of words used in the password can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the processing related to the issuance of the password, the storage capacity, and the labor related to the password input.

(H) Further, it may be configured so that the player can select whether or not to reflect the stored contents (selection information) of the selection information storage area in the game. In this case, even a player who has a good balance as it is can comfortably perform a mobile interlocking game using a mobile communication terminal and a server.

In addition, a selection information storage area for individual players and a selection information storage area on the host side (individual selection information storage area) are provided to store and store selection information only in the mobile-linked game state, indicating the intention that the player does not reflect. If the selection information is stored (the corresponding operation / setting is made), the selection information is not stored and stored in the means for storing the selection information for the player's personal use. It may be a configuration that reflects the result below by asking the pros and cons), or it may be a configuration that can be accumulated but not reflected.

(I) In the above embodiment, the effect button 125 and the cross-shaped button 126 are configured so that the determination operation at the time of the selection effect and the password input operation can be performed. A button for inputting a password may be provided separately (a button for opening and operating a menu screen may be provided in addition to the effect button 125). Further, the operation means and the input means do not have to be buttons. For example, the decorative symbol display device 42 may be used as a touch panel so that the password can be input by touching the key displayed on the display unit.

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

(J) The game information to be ranked is not particularly limited and can be appropriately changed for each model. In the first place, the information targeted for the game information and the selection information is not particularly limited, and can be appropriately changed for each model. Furthermore, the conditions for updating the variable rank and the jackpot rank are not particularly limited, and can be appropriately changed for each model. For example, regarding the update of the jackpot rank, 20 jackpots are required for each of the 1st rank → 2nd rank and the 2nd rank → 3rd rank, and 40 jackpots are required thereafter. good.

Further, in the above embodiment, the fluctuation number information and the jackpot number information stored in the server are less than 1000 times (the number of times that can be achieved by playing for half a day) and 30 times (if luck is achieved, it can be achieved in one day). It is configured to include the remaining information in the password when it is less than the number of such times), but it is not particularly limited to such a configuration. For example, if the configuration is such that the business closing time of the game hall can be grasped, a numerical value that can be achieved with the remaining gameable time at the start of the game is calculated, and the remaining information is password-protected by comparing with the value. You may decide whether or not to include it in. In addition, if there is not much time to close the store (for example, a few hours remaining), an announcement (display) recommending a relatively time-efficient stage may be made.

(K) In the above embodiment, the jackpot probability, the number of jackpot types, the opening / closing pattern of the variable winning device 32 of various jackpot types, and the like are not particularly limited, and can be appropriately set for each model. Further, in the above embodiment, the winning probability in the winning / losing lottery varies between the probability variation mode and the other modes, but the winning probability does not change (is constant) and is given after the jackpot state ends. The above configuration may be applied to a pachinko machine in which a plurality of patterns of time reduction mode periods (number of fluctuations) are prepared.

Further, in the above embodiment, there are cases where the jackpot is won based on the entry of the game ball into the upper winning opening 33a and the case where the jackpot is won based on the entry of the game ball into the lower winning opening 33b. It may be configured so that the ratio of the jackpot type given is different. For example, if the jackpot is won based on the entry of the game ball into the upper winning opening 33a, or if the jackpot is won based on the entry of the game ball into the lower winning opening 33b, the result is "7RN". The ratio may be the same, but the ratio of "16RS" (in other words, the ratio of "7RS") may be different.

(L) In the above embodiment, the holding of the variable display is taught to the player by the holding lamps 46a and 46b, but the holding may be taught by other display means. For example, in the decorative symbol display device 42, an image object meaning hold is displayed in a one-to-one correspondence with the held variable display so that the hold of the first variable display or the hold of the second variable display can be known. You may.

Further, in the above embodiment, the ball is entered into the lower winning opening 33b, which is reserved after the variable display (first variable display) based on the already reserved entry of the game ball into the upper winning opening 33a. The second variation display is preferentially digested by arranging the reserved order back and forth, such that the variation display based on (the second variation display) is digested before the first variation display. However, regardless of whether it is the first variable display or the second variable display, it may be configured to be digested in the reserved order.

(M) It may be implemented as a pachinko machine of a type different from the above embodiment. For example, a movable means that can be changed into a specific area in which a gaming ball moving in a gaming area can enter, an open state that allows entry into a specific area, and a closed state that prohibits entry into a specific area ( Detects variable ball-entry means provided with a wing member), specific ball-entry means and non-specific ball-entry means that allow a game ball that has entered a specific area to enter, and a game ball that has entered the specific ball-entry means. A specific ball entry detecting means (condition detection means), a starting ball entering means provided outside the specific area and capable of entering a gaming ball moving in the gaming area, and a gaming ball entering the starting ball entering means. It is equipped with a starting ball entry detecting means for detecting the above and a main control means for controlling the opening and closing of the variable ball entry means. Regardless of which of the ball entry means, the player is given a predetermined number of game values (game balls), and the main control means is the variable ball entry means based on the detection of the start ball entry detection means. A small hit state in which the ball is opened once or a plurality of times only for the first hour, or a variable winning means in which the variable ball-entry means is opened for a second time longer than the first hour, or is opened. A lottery is held to determine whether or not to generate a big hit state in which the specified number of game balls are entered in one round, and if the small hit is won in the lottery, the small hit state is obtained. It may be applied to a gaming machine that generates a jackpot state when a jackpot is won in a winning / losing lottery and when a specific ball entry detection means is detected. In this case, the variable ball entry means corresponds to the variable winning device. In addition to pachinko machines, it is also implemented as an arrange ball machine, various similar game machines such as sparrow balls, slot machines as rotating cylinder type game machines, and game machines that combine slot machines and pachinko machines. 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 amount of game information and selection information data to be transmitted to the server is larger than the predetermined upper limit and cannot be sent at one opportunity, the unsent amount even after closing the code issuance screen. Information may be left unerased, and may be configured to 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 data stored in the pachinko machine 10 and to be transmitted to the server is large (for example, when the selection information for several days is stored), the stored storage is stored during the game. When converting the played game information or selection information into a QR code, among the types of game information or selection information, those that did not have accumulated memory for this game, that is, for example, the number of jackpots was 0. , Check if there is something that the premium reach is not derived at all, and if it is determined, reduce the information display area that was supposed to be used for such information and another The information display area may be configured to contain information, or the information display area that should have been used for such information may be configured to 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 stored selection information is large, it takes a relatively long time to send this at once, and the player who sends the information There is a concern that communication charges will be added in excess. Therefore, it is desirable to set an upper limit for the amount of information to be sent at one time, but in the configuration of (n), the information stored on the pachinko machine 10 side can be sent to the server side as much as possible even under such conditions. , As mentioned above, since there is no corresponding information, it searches for an unused (vacant) area, and if it is found, it is used to post another information and send it.

Further, when the QR code is read by the mobile communication terminal, it is converted into character string information in URL format, and the order of arrangement is determined between the character strings indicating each game information and each selection information other than the questionnaire information. At the same time, the opening character indicating that it is the beginning of the game information and the selection information is interposed at the beginning of the character string indicating each game information and the selection information, and there is no storage memory of the corresponding game information and the selection information. In that case, it may be set so that only the corresponding opening character is left. In this case, since the opening character eventually exists between the character strings indicating each game information and selection information, it becomes a character for separating each information, depending on the amount of information of each 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, for example, when the value obtained by counting the establishment of the predetermined condition is the game information and the predetermined condition is never satisfied, the predetermined condition is not satisfied. Only the opening character is left, that is, it is continuous with the opening character corresponding to the game information or selection information in the subsequent order, so that the server side can grasp that there is no storage memory 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 a character string other than the first character indicates that the corresponding game information and selection information are not stored and stored.

Even if there is a lot of game information and selection information to be sent to the server and there are various types of information, it is desirable to configure the information so that highly correlated information is sent at once. For example, in normal times, the information indicating the number of times the "diving stage" is selected, the information indicating the number of times the "cruising stage" is selected, and the information indicating the number of times the "deep sea exploration stage" is selected are simultaneously present. 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 stage changes. In addition, information on whether or not the effect button 125 has been operated is configured to be sent each time the effect button 125 is operated so that the ratio of the operation of the effect button 125 to the total number of fluctuations can be grasped. May be good. In addition, you may use a shortened URL service.

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

Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment in which location 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 asking whether the location information may be sent appears. You can refer to the explanation of the services that can be used by using the location information on the web page of the server or the menu of the pachinko machine 10.

The first purpose of exchanging location information is to grasp the operating status of the pachinko machine 10 in each region and the player's preference on the gaming machine maker side that operates the server. As a result, customer satisfaction can be estimated and used for the development of gaming machines. If location information is added when game information is sent from a mobile communication terminal, the game information by prefecture is different from that of individual players or statistics of players nationwide. Accumulate. However, not all information is necessarily configured to be accumulated by prefecture, only some information may be accumulated, and multiple prefectures may be accumulated together (Kanto region, Tokai region, etc.). It may be configured in.

The second purpose is to have the players enjoy the production using the location information and to improve the interest. Hereinafter, an example of “local production” using location information will be described with reference to FIG.

In this example, decorative patterns with patterns corresponding to "local" are set and stored corresponding to each prefecture in Japan, and the players can earn points by playing mobile-linked games. Therefore, the "this map pattern" can be made usable (unlocked) as a decorative symbol for variable display in the decorative symbol display device 42. The symbols with the numbers "1 to 9" shown in the upper and middle stages of FIG. 16A are usually used as the decorative symbols of the decorative symbol display device 42, and are used in FIG. 16 (a). 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 location information when accessing the server with a mobile communication terminal in order to perform the first mobile interlocking game, the server determines the prefecture where the player is located based on the location information. At the same time, the password issued at the request of the player includes information on the location 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 individually, and each local information storage area is provided. , A traversal flag, a local flag indicating in which prefecture the first mobile-linked game was played, and a local flag indicating in which prefecture the mobile-linked game was played this time are provided. Further, it is provided with a table corresponding to this map pattern showing a correspondence relationship with "this map pattern" stored in the character ROM 525 of the display control device 45. Further, as shown in FIG. 16B, the prefectures corresponding to the traversal flag set to be turned on are colored differently so that the traversal flag can be seen, and the metropolitan area where the traversal flag is set to be turned on. It will be possible to use the "this map pattern" corresponding to the prefecture for the production.

In the first mobile-linked game, the location information included in the password turns on the local flag and the local flag, and the local flag (the local flag also indicates the same prefecture) is turned on. turn on. On the menu screen of the decorative pattern display device 42, it is possible to select "national crossing rally". Also, if you select "National Crossing Rally", the prefectures where the traversal flag is set to on and the corresponding "This map pattern" (designs with motifs of local origins, specialties, famous places, etc.) The combination with the number pattern) and the decorative pattern used in the current variable display (upper and middle of FIG. 16) can be displayed, and the decorative pattern used can be changed to "this map pattern" or , You can perform operations such as returning to the initial decorative pattern.

In the "National Crossing Rally", every time you accumulate a specified number of points in a mobile-linked game (for example, 1 point for each fluctuation, 300 points for each jackpot, 1000 points for each premium reach, 1000 points will be accumulated. (Every time you save), you can set the traversal flag of another prefecture for which the traversal flag is not turned on one by one. By the way, in this example, the order of the prefectures in which the traversal flag is turned on is determined, but the player may be able to select it. The conditions under which the traversal flag can be turned on are not particularly limited, and may be, for example, every 500 fluctuation displays or / or every 5 jackpots. Further, it is configured so that it is possible to determine whether or not the condition that the traversal flag can be set to be turned on is satisfied (point conversion) not only on the server side but also on the pachinko machine 10 side. In the form of information, the number of remaining points required to turn on the traversal flag may be sent to the pachinko machine 10 so that the new map pattern can be used immediately when the conditions are met.

Also, in this example, the player plays a mobile-linked game of the same model of pachinko machine 10 in prefectures other than "local" (sends location information to the server), so that the traversal flag is not turned on in the prefectures. When the local flag is turned on, the traversal flag of the prefecture in which the local flag is turned on is set on regardless of the point. Furthermore, the traversal flag, the local flag, and the local flag are reset when the mobile interlocking game is completed (the QR code issuance screen is closed) and the pachinko machine 10 is turned off. There is. In addition, information on which prefecture's traversal flag is turned on, information on the above points, etc. are also included in the two-dimensional code, and are output to the server for management. Then, the information based on the local information related to the next password is included so that the local production ("national crossing rally") can be continued. In addition, when the national traversal flag is set to on, a dedicated effect can be derived (for example, when the occurrence of a big hit is confirmed, a premium notice that can teach that can be derived, or It is possible to derive a dedicated image during the jackpot state. You may 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 "this map pattern" is also used for advance notice production (for example, making it smaller and displaying a group) (this map pattern is not used for decorative patterns, but it is specified. It may be configured so that it can be derived at the time of production).

In addition, as the number of "this map pattern" increases, the number of decorative patterns showing the same number will increase, but in order to suppress the storage capacity of image data, the part of the decorative pattern excluding the pattern is common (same). Design). In addition, the points used in the "National Crossing Rally" will change the rate of points multiplied by the game depending on the day and time (for example, twice on weekdays and twice on holidays and holidays, and twice in the morning). Etc.) may be configured. Further, when the game is played in a prefecture other than the local area, the point multiplication rate for the game may change (for example, the higher the distance from the local area, the higher the multiplication rate).

In addition, in the above example, the division of the area is performed for each prefecture, and individual local images (at least 47 in total) are associated with each other, but the division of the area is particularly important. It is not limited and can be set as appropriate. For example, the division may be performed on a country-by-country basis during the Warring States period.

In addition, different effects may be displayed 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 same case", "I came again", "(refer to time information, visit time information) earlier than usual", etc. are displayed at the start of the game, and in "different cases", "business trip". Is it possible to display "?" Further, a question-type display may be subsequently derived, and the selection result may be stored as selection information. In addition, when playing in a local area (local area) where the number of games is high, if the previous game was in a different area, "Welcome back" or "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 game time, and the exit time are accumulated. The average of time and the like may be calculated and reflected in the production of the pachinko machine 10. In other words, randomly derive a production that goes one step further into the player's private life, such as "I thought it was time to come", "It's time to go home", "I'm playing longer than usual", etc. It can be derived according to the facts, not according to the facts. For this reason, it is possible to improve the motivation to play compared to the case where only a bland common production is performed for all people, and the situation is that the intention to step into the player's private is irrelevant. Can be avoided. In addition, including information such as the number of big hits, the number of fluctuations, and the number of games played in the designated area, "I'm on today", "I saw a premium reach", "Today is the 10th anniversary of my visit to the store." By performing a player-specific effect such as "ne", it is possible to improve the playability in mobile-linked games.

In addition, the "local production" is not limited to the above examples, for example, the costume of the appearing character may change to a local origin, the background may change to a local famous place, music or a speech bubble ( The characters of (telop) may be configured to change to local music or dialect. Furthermore, the "local production" is not compulsory, and it is desirable that the player can choose whether to do it or not.

It should be noted that the image data for local production can be derived (although the probability is low) not only in the mobile-linked game but also in the non-mobile-linked game (randomly regardless of the player's intention). It may be configured. In this case, it is possible to increase the chances of enjoying the local production and encourage participation in the mobile-linked game (no, the occurrence of the local production in the mobile-linked game is the priming for participation in the mobile-linked game). Can be done. However, in order to be able to set local effects and local images to the player's preference (deriving at the desired timing, selecting a predetermined one from a number of local images, etc.), mobile It is necessary to perform interlocking games.

(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. The production may be performed. For example, when a birthday is input, a relatively clean effect image (which does not interfere with the visual recognition of the variable display of the decorative symbol), which is also used for normal production in the decorative symbol display device 42, is always displayed only during the game of the day. , The probability of deriving the premium reach may be high. Further, it may be configured to be able to derive a production dedicated to birthdays, a production dedicated to days when events such as New Year and Christmas are held, and a production dedicated to days of events in the game hall. Further, for example, the decorative symbol display device 42 may be configured to be tiltable with the left-right direction as the axial direction, and the decorative symbol display device 42 may be configured to be tilted according to the height data of the player included in the password. good. It should be noted that, on the gaming machine maker side, by obtaining information on the gender and age of the player, it is possible to obtain information such as which age group, which gender, which production is preferred, and the like.

Further, a password corresponding to the time and 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 closes (in this case, the closing time is preset) and the selected stage may be investigated. That is, when the remaining time is short, it may be investigated which stage is selected, whether the 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 a certain amount of time has passed from the start of installation, etc. good. Further, for example, it may be investigated whether there is a stage that is easily selected depending on the temperature and the weather. If the remaining time is short, an announcement recommending a time-efficient stage may be made by the decorative symbol display device 42 or voice output.

Further, when the pachinko machine 10 of the same model is played on a different machine from the one played last time by using the game machine ID information, a different (reaction) effect is performed from the case where the same machine is played. 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 shareable and appropriately reflected.

(Q) In the above embodiment, as selection information regarding 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 stored and stored. However, the configuration is not particularly limited to such a configuration. For example, the maximum number of operations of the effect button 125 during the valid period of the effect button 125 was expected to be a predetermined number of times, but that is not enough, or conversely, information such as no one reaching that point or button effect is provided. There may be a pattern A and a pattern B, and it may be configured to obtain information such as that there is an operation in the case of the pattern A but the operation in the case of the pattern B is not performed so much.

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

For example, how many times the variable display is performed after the player starts the game of the day (from the beginning of hitting) or from the end of the jackpot state, the stage is likely to be changed (so-called "addiction" and stage change). (Relationship), after the super reach is off, or / and how many times the variable display is performed after the notice production with relatively high expectations is performed, the stage is likely to be changed (disappointment, if turned over, it corresponds) (Relationship between high expectations for production and stage change), how many times the total number of big hits has reached since the start of the game on that day, and how easy it is to change the stage (relationship between tiredness of production and stage change), etc. It may be configured so that the information can be obtained on the server side.

However, if all of these times are stored, the amount of storage becomes enormous. Therefore, the number of times in each corresponding range may be stored by dividing the number of times into predetermined times. For example, after the start of the game or the end of the big hit, the stage was changed at the time of 10 times or less, 50 times or less, 100 times or less, 200 times or less, ... 800 times or less, 900 times or less, 1000 times or more, super After the reach was released, the stage was changed within 5 times, within 15 times, within 30 times, and more times. It may be configured such as how many stage changes have been made by the 25th time and the 25th big hit. In addition, instead of storing the number of times information, or in addition, the time information may be stored. For example, the server via the mobile communication terminal stores and stores that the stage has been changed within 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, and more after the end of the jackpot state. It may be configured so that it can be transmitted to.

Further, as a function of the effect button 125, when a predetermined effect is performed or when it is decided that a predetermined effect is performed, a predetermined operation is performed on the effect button 125 to determine a predetermined effect. The effect is skipped (the predetermined effect is skipped based on the predetermined operation being performed), or the effect is changed to a different effect (the predetermined image is used to make up for the remaining time of the extension that was scheduled to be performed). It may be configured to output a picture, etc. during construction) and 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 makes me embarrassed to see it, or the volume is too large and I feel sick. To prevent the player from being stressed, or to find new enjoyment by using the cancel function, etc., when the expectation is too high and the player cannot see it. Can be done. In such a configuration, the effect button 125 corresponds to the effect cancel operation means.

Further, the information when the effect cancel 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 from the next time onward (the password includes the information corresponding to the effect cancellation information). It is preferable that this setting is configured so that it can be restored at the player's will.

Further, a pressure gauge, a speed measuring instrument, etc. are provided on the effect button 125, these measured values are stored and stored as selection information, and information on the strength or speed at which the effect button 125 is operated is stored on the server side. It may be configured to be obtained in.

(R) In the above embodiment, in order to display the two-dimensional code on the decorative symbol display device 42, it is necessary to re-enter the same password as the password entered at the start of the mobile interlocking game as identity verification. It is also good. That is, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the stored game information is illegally received by another player and taken away (in particular, in the above embodiment, the accumulated game information or the like is deleted). .. In the case of a configuration in which wireless communication such as infrared rays is possible between the pachinko machine 10 and the mobile communication terminal, it is conceivable that it is not necessary to enter the password at the start of the mobile interlocking game. When communicating with the pachinko machine 10, the player-specific information that identifies the player is configured to be included, and the player-specific information received from the mobile communication terminal at the start of the mobile-linked game is input to the pachinko machine 10 on the pachinko machine 10. When it is stored and it is determined whether or not the player identification information received from the mobile communication terminal when issuing the two-dimensional code matches the player identification information stored in the pachinko machine 10 side, and when they match. It may be configured to output the accumulated game information and selection information, and not to output the information if they do not match. Further, a personal identification number may be individually assigned at the time of initial registration of the mobile interlocking game, and it may be configured so that it is necessary to input the personal identification number when issuing the two-dimensional code. It is desirable that the password 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 predetermined time elapses, and a separation timer that is turned on when the mobile interlocking game is started are measured. It has a player-identifying flag that is turned off when the specified time has elapsed from the start and when the mobile-linked game ends, and when the player-identifying flag is off even though the mobile-linked game is in progress. It may be configured so that a two-dimensional code cannot be issued. That is, if the player identification flag is off even though the mobile interlocking game is in progress, the player identification flag can be turned on by performing identity verification (for example, re-entering the password), and the player identification can be performed. If the middle flag is on, the configuration is such that a two-dimensional code can be issued. As a result, it is possible to more reliably prevent a situation in which the game information or the like is taken away when the player leaves the seat due to the need for a toilet or the like. In addition, the off setting of the player identification flag may be configured so that when the player leaves the seat, the player can immediately perform the input operation by himself / herself. In this case, the above-mentioned action and effect are more certain.

(S) The content and number of effect setting items that can be changed by the player in the second embodiment are not particularly limited, and can be appropriately set for each model. For example, music, a background image, etc. (for example, music, a background, etc. used in successive gaming machines) for variable display may be configured to be selectable. Further, it may be configured so that settings related to various illuminations provided in the pachinko machine 10 can be made. For example, the brightness (usually bright, dark, extinguished) of the illuminations of the front frame set 14 and the game board 30 when the premium accessory is activated may be set to be configurable.

Further, it may be possible to set a combination of effects performed in one variable display and a combination of effects performed in one jackpot state. For example, it may be configured so that the A notice effect and the C reach effect are not combined. In other words, in recent years, the effect of variable display has been derived by combining (continuously) multiple effects, but as the effects are combined more and more, one variable display becomes longer. There are many players who are frustrated by this. In addition, there are cases where effects having almost the same meaning appear in duplicate. On the other hand, by limiting the combinations in which the players are compounded, such concerns can be dispelled. It should be noted that a version of the effect obtained by shortening the effect for a predetermined time may be derived so as to be selectable by the player.

(T) Further, in the second embodiment, the setting of the effect setting item may be performed by one of the server and the pachinko machine 10, or may be executed by both. If the setting can be made only by the server, the control load on the pachinko machine 10 side and the memory used can be reduced, and the setting contents can be surely grasped on the server side. On the other hand, if the settings can be changed on the pachinko machine 10 side, it is possible to immediately reflect the likes and dislikes of the player's production in the pachinko machine 10, and the player can play the subsequent games of the day more comfortably. be able to.

Further, in the second embodiment, when random is set in the effect setting item, the setting content set randomly (by lottery) is reflected in the subsequent mobile interlocking games. , Randomly set items may be configured to be randomly determined each time in a mobile-linked game.

In addition, in the second embodiment, the selection range may be specified when the effect setting items are set at random. That is, in the second embodiment, it is set by selecting from the range that can be selected in each effect setting item, but the selection range can be limited (for example, 40% to 70%). It may be configured (so that it can be set as random or the like within the range of). In this case, for example, it is possible to meet the player's request that he / she wants to limit the appearance rate of a predetermined effect to some extent so as to set his / her favorite effect, but does not want to know the set value itself. ..

(U) In the pachinko machine 10 (sub-control device 262) of the second embodiment, a real-time clock may be provided as a date and time measuring means capable of measuring an actual date and time. Further, the server is configured to be able to issue a password for mobile interlocking games or effect setting including period information, and when such a password is input to the pachinko machine 10, a corresponding process is performed in consideration of the real-time clock. It may be that. For example, for the summer only in July and August, it is possible to set a character with a different costume to appear, but in September, the above-mentioned "Character with a different costume will appear". Even if you enter a "password including the contents", you can configure it so that characters in unusual costumes cannot appear. That is, if the period is limited only on the server side, the password distribution period is limited, but the period during which the corresponding effect appears on the pachinko machine 10 cannot be limited. Therefore, if the password is obtained, the corresponding effect can be derived at any time in the pachinko machine 10 thereafter. On the other hand, by providing a real-time clock, it is possible to limit the period during which the corresponding effect can be derived. Therefore, it is possible to improve the motivation to play a game for a limited period of time.

(V) In the second embodiment, the method of quantifying the impressions (impressions) of the player on each effect on the pachinko machine 10 side and reflecting them in the setting contents is not particularly limited, and for example, the effect button 125. If there is no operation of the effect button 125, a negative evaluation is given, and conversely, if there are many operations of the effect button 125, a positive evaluation is given and the information is output to the server. It may be configured to do so. In addition, at the end of the mobile-linked game, as an impression of the entire production setting item, the player asks the good or bad of the balance of the entire production, and the player evaluates it on a scale of 10 points, and that point is reflected in the popularity ranking of the production setting item. It may be configured to be. The points that can be voted for in the popularity ranking when accessing the server may be less than the maximum number of points that can be added at the end of the mobile-linked game (for example, 1 point at the maximum). In this case, it is possible to prevent the ranking from being decided by a minority opinion.

(W) In the second embodiment, apart from the decorative symbol display device 42 (identification information display means), when an effect corresponding to an effect setting item is performed, it is possible to derive a display asking whether or not the effect is liked or disliked. A sub-display means (for example, a liquid crystal display device or the like) may be provided. In this case, it is possible to avoid a situation in which it becomes difficult to visually recognize the variable display of the decorative symbol by performing the guidance display asking the likes and dislikes of the effect on the decorative symbol display device 42.

(X) In the second embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 may be configured so that the effect setting items can be set. Further, the pachinko machine 10 may be configured so that the setting contents (history) of the effect setting items set so far in the pachinko machine 10 can be viewed. Furthermore, it is configured so that a favorite pattern of the setting contents of the effect setting items viewed on the pachinko machine 10 can be selected and reflected in the game (the storage contents of the setting storage area are changed to the selected contents). You may.

(Y) In the second embodiment, the correspondence between the digit of the word constituting the password and the target content may be defined. For example, when the password is composed of multiple digit words, the first digit corresponds to the fish school production, the second digit corresponds to the Kuroshio reach, etc., and the numbers 0 to 9 are entered in the first digit. As a result, the appearance probability of the fish school effect may change, and the appearance rate of the Kuroshio reach may change by inserting any of the letters H, M, and L in the second digit. In this case, the player can obtain a desired production balance by directly inputting the password. Therefore, it is not necessary to go through the server to change the settings, which can improve convenience, and the player can intuitively input words, so that the player can input words as envisioned. It is easy to input settings that will balance the effect.

(Z) In the above embodiment, it may be configured so that a favorite effect can be derived in a variable display designated by the player. For example, a reach lamp and a reach button corresponding to each reach effect are provided, and every time the variation display is performed 100 times since the corresponding reach effect was derived last time, one of the reach lamps is turned on and the lit lamp is used. When the corresponding reach button is pressed, the corresponding reach effect may be derived in the next variation display of the variation display currently being performed. In this case, it is possible to derive the desired reach effect regardless of the result of the variable display, and it is possible to avoid a situation in which the desired reach effect cannot be seen forever.

If it is within a predetermined time from the start of the fluctuation, the reach effect corresponding to the current variation display may be configured (so that the effect is rewritten). Further, it may be configured so that the reach effect corresponding to the variable display specified by the player can be derived from the reserved variable display. Furthermore, in a configuration in which a series of effects are performed by the reserved variable display (so-called continuous notice, etc.), if there is a pending variable display corresponding to a big hit, the continuous notice is activated and the big hit is obtained. The reach effect corresponding to the variable display may be derived (a fake effect of the continuous notice effect is also set). In addition, even in the reach effect, if the appearance probabilities are different, the number of fluctuations required until the corresponding reach lamp is turned on may be different. That is, when the appearance probability of the reach effect A is 1/200 and the appearance probability of the reach effect B is 1/5000, when the reach effect A is derived, 200 is set in the corresponding reach counter A, and the reach effect is produced. When B is derived, 5000 is set in the reach counter B, and when each reach counter becomes 0, the corresponding reach lamp may be turned on.

(Aa) In the first embodiment, the decorative symbol display device 42 is configured to teach that the mission is about to be achieved, including the increase in the fluctuation rank and the jackpot rank. In addition to the decorative pattern display device 42, a sub-display device as a means for teaching near-achievement of a liquid crystal display device, a dot display device, or the like is provided, and the sub-display device is configured to teach that the mission is about to be achieved. You may. In this case, the decorative symbol display device 42 can satisfy the player who wants to concentrate and visually recognize the variable display. Further, for example, by displaying the display for the mission on the decorative symbol display device 42, it is misunderstood that it is related to the result of the winning / failing lottery (the countdown indicating the update of the fluctuation rank indicates the remaining number of times in the time reduction mode. It is possible to prevent situations such as (such as being mistaken for the numbers shown).

In addition, it may be configured so that the mission list display can be confirmed on the mobile communication terminal that has accessed the server, or the server is accessed from a personal computer that does not appear in the mobile-linked game cycle, and the password of the player is input. Therefore, it may be configured so that the mission list display can be confirmed on the personal computer.

In the first embodiment, when the variation rank or the jackpot rank is updated, the remaining number of times until the update is displayed on the variation display of the decorative symbol display device 42, and when the achievement of other counting missions is approaching, the mobile is displayed. When the operation to end the interlocking game is performed, the counting missions are displayed in the list of missions that are nearing achievement, but the method of teaching that the achievement is near is particularly limited. Yes it is not. For example, a light emitting means with a built-in three-color LED may be provided as a means for teaching near achievement, and if the number of remaining big hits is 10 or less, the light is lit in green, if the number of big hits is 5 or less, the light is lit in red, and if the number of times is 3 or less, the light is blinked in red. Furthermore, there is a mission that is about to be achieved (some mission, or some mission among the targeted missions) by using a light emitting means that can change the light emitting mode such as different emission colors. It may be configured to notify that.

In addition, the timing of teaching that the mission is nearing is not particularly limited, and if it is determined that the mission is nearing, it may be automatically performed immediately after or near it. However, if there is a mission that is nearing completion, it may be displayed only according to the predetermined operation of the player.

Also, on the mission list screen that may be displayed at the end of the mobile-linked game, missions other than missions that are nearing completion, for example, missions that can be achieved at any time (premium reach for updating the career rank) are derived. Etc.) and missions that take a while to be achieved may be confirmed. Furthermore, in the mission list display, it is desirable that the more urgent missions are displayed first. For example, limited missions come first, count missions are displayed at the same time or later (below or on the next page), and anytime can be displayed, so if you display it even once, OK missions It is desirable to configure it so that it will be displayed later. Further, the display method of the mission is not limited to the list display, and may be taught by, for example, a scroll display.

Further, in the above embodiment, when displaying the QR code in order to end the mobile interlocking game, the "code issuance screen" on which the QR code is displayed is not displayed suddenly, but whether or not to confirm the mission. A "mission confirmation necessity screen" is displayed asking whether or not, but it is not particularly limited to such a configuration. For example, by moving the cursor to the code issuance item on the top menu of FIG. 12 and operating a button, the "mission list screen" may be displayed instead of the "mission confirmation necessity screen". In this case, the mission list screen is always displayed at the end of the mobile-linked game, and it is possible to suppress a situation in which the user accidentally forgets to check.

When adopting this configuration, the cursor is placed on the item "Move to code issuance screen" when the cursor is not moved when moving to the mission list screen, and the effect button 125 should be operated as it is. Then, "Can I exit the mission list screen and move to the code issuance screen?" And "Yes" and "No" are displayed, and the cursor is set to "Yes" in the initial state. Therefore, it may be configured to move to the code issuance screen by operating the effect button 125 as it is. That is, it is possible to improve the operability for a player who is not interested in the mission list screen and wants to proceed quickly and end the mobile-linked game. However, since the mission list screen does not end suddenly, but there is one step such as a confirmation screen for the end, it is possible to suppress the situation where the mission screen is ended unexpectedly even though it was not intended to end. In addition, after moving to the code issuance screen, in the initial state, the cursor is not set to the "Yes" of "Exit / Do not exit the code issuance screen", and the effect button 125 is repeatedly hit. However, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the code issuance screen is unintentionally terminated.

Further, in the above embodiment, the item for displaying the mission list display may be displayed in the top menu. In this case, the mission list display can be displayed separately from the end of the mobile interlocking game, and even though you just want to see the mission list display, you have to perform the operation of whether to display the code issuance screen. It can be avoided.

Further, in the above embodiment, when the code issuance screen is displayed, the player's individual game information and the like counted on the pachinko machine 10 side are deleted, but the code issuance screen is terminated. At that time, the game information and the like may be deleted. In addition, when adopting such a configuration, the QR code and the list of missions that are close to being achieved may be displayed at the same time (a screen that looks like a combination of the code issuance screen and the mission list screen). In this case, For example, while reading the QR code, it is possible to know that the desired mission is about to be achieved and return to the mobile-linked game.

(Bb) Further, the content and number of missions and the threshold value of whether or not the achievement is near are not particularly limited, and can be appropriately set for each model. Further, regarding the counting mission, the specified number of times required for rank up may not be constant, and may be configured to be randomly selected from a certain range by lottery. That is, from rank 1 to rank 2, one player needs 5 times, but another player needs 6 times. When this configuration is adopted, it is possible to improve the color rendering of the mission (the effect of whether or not the mission is achieved this time).

Further, even if the mission achievement condition is satisfied, the mission achievement (the effect of teaching the mission achievement) may be postponed within the selectable range of the specified number of times. For example, the rank is updated when the number of occurrences of the jackpot state reaches 100 times (for example, it may be approximately 100 times of 99 to 101 times), and the rank is initially updated 100 times. The rank was scheduled to be updated due to the occurrence of, but since the winner was the "normal jackpot", the number of jackpots will be counted, but the rank update will be postponed until the "probability change jackpot" is won. It may be configured. Then, when the 101st jackpot is a probabilistic jackpot, the effect of teaching the rank update may be performed extensively during or before or after the jackpot state. In this case, the sense of accomplishment of the mission can be amplified. On the other hand, if the number of big hits exceeds the specified number of times (for example, even if it reaches 105 times) and the "probability change big hit" is not won, the rank will be updated regardless of the type of big hit at the next big hit. It may be configured to make it (perform an effect that teaches rank update). Furthermore, in a situation where the rank is updated regardless of the type of jackpot, if it becomes a "probability change jackpot", a large-scale production is performed as usual, while a production that teaches the rank update with "normal jackpot". If it is decided to perform the above, the effect of teaching the rank update may be performed somewhat conservatively.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the mission achievement condition is not changed in the middle, but the mission achievement condition may be changed from the occurrence to the achievement of the mission. For example, by playing mobile-linked games every day or playing more than the specified number of times in a week, the count addition rate will increase (for example, the count of the number of fluctuations will be increased by one every 5 times). (It may be counted as 6 counts for 5 times). In addition, when a mobile-linked game is played on a specific day or at a specific time, the addition rate of the count during that period increases, or when a specific mission is started on a specific day, the achievement condition of the mission is set. , May be configured to be easier than if it started on a non-specific day.

(Cc) Whether or not a mission (mainly a limited mission or a counting mission whose count is determined to be executed by lottery) is achieved in the first embodiment. In other words, it may be possible to perform an effect indicating which of the target missions is, and an effect suggesting the degree of expectation of achievement of the mission. In this case, you can enjoy a new production such as grasping what mission achievement is required and suggesting what the mission achievement expectation is.

(Dd) Further, regarding the limited mission, if the time until the start is less than the predetermined allowable time, an announcement such as "The XX mission will start in XX hours" may be made. In this case, it is possible to know that a chance to complete a limited mission will come after a short wait.

(Ee) Although not particularly mentioned in the first embodiment, for count-type missions (of the second count information) other than missions related to the variable rank and the jackpot rank, when the mobile-linked game is terminated, the game of this time is completed. It may be configured to be able to explain that the count is erased. That is, it becomes easier for the player who aims to achieve the mission to determine whether or not to stop the game, and the convenience can be improved.

(Ff) In the above embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 capable of performing the mobile-linked game is embodied, but it can also be applied to the pachinko machine that cannot perform the mobile-linked game. Further, in the first embodiment, various missions are derived only when the mobile interlocking game is performed, and a new production state is given according to the achieved missions. In mobile-linked games, various missions may be derived. In this case, since the server cannot record and manage personal game information, etc., the pachinko machine 10 records the game information from the power on to the off, and when the mission achievement condition is satisfied, the power is turned off. In the case where the game information of the day can be erased, a new effect state corresponding to the corresponding new effect state is given until the game information is erased. You may.

In the case of a pachinko machine that does not play mobile-linked games or cannot play mobile-linked games like these, if the game is stopped, the count value related to the missions accumulated in this game and the predetermined value There is a concern that if the production etc. appears, the fact that the predetermined mission will be achieved will not be utilized next time, and it will be restarted from the beginning, and the road to the mission achievement will be longer. As in the first embodiment, the concern can be dispelled by configuring the player so that the player can be informed that the mission is about to be achieved.

[Additional Notes]
The technical ideas that can be grasped from the above embodiments are described below.

A. There is a pachinko machine as a kind of game machine. In pachinko machines, when a game ball launched by a launcher enters a starting ball entry means provided on a game board, a lottery is performed to determine whether or not a jackpot state is generated, and a lottery is performed using a variable display device. Variable display for teaching the results is performed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

By the way, when a gaming machine maker manufactures a new model or the like, it aims to create a gaming machine that pleases the player by referring to the evaluation of the conventional gaming machine.

However, for example, when marketing is performed by requesting a research company, a satisfactory number of responses may not be obtained or the result report may be delayed. There is also concern that the answers to the questionnaires given to the players are not accurate.

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

Means A-1. In a gaming machine capable of transmitting information about a player's game to a server via a mobile communication terminal operated by the player.
A game information storage means that can store and store game information, which is information about lottery performed at the time of a game.
The operation means that can be operated by the player,
A selection effect derivation means capable of deriving a selection effect for selecting an effect by the operation of the operation means by the player, and a selection effect derivation means.
A selection information storage means capable of accumulating and storing selection information which is information related to selection by the operation of the operation means, and a selection information storage means.
A display means that is provided at a position visible to the player and can display an image object,
The display means includes at least the address information of the server among the address information of the server, the game information stored and stored in the game information storage means, and the selection information stored and stored in the selection information storage means. It is equipped with an information output means for displaying 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 with respect to the code information displayed in the display means, the selection information stored in the selection information storage means. A game machine characterized by including the information.

In addition, "Mobile communication terminals are
A reading means capable of reading the code information displayed by the display means, and
A communication means capable of communicating with the server and
It is equipped with a portable display means capable of displaying data supplied from the server.
The server is
A host-side game information storage means that stores and stores the game information when the game information stored and stored in the game information storage means is received via the mobile communication terminal.
When the selection information stored and stored in the selection information storage means is received via the mobile communication terminal, the host-side selection information storage means for storing and storing the selection information may be provided. "

The game information stored 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 back on his / her own game. In addition, various services may be provided by a gaming machine maker or the like that operates a server according to the gaming history. On the other hand, the game information stored and stored in the selection information storage means is information indicating the preference of which one the player has selected from the selectable effects, and is extremely useful for grasping customer needs as a game machine maker. This is useful information.

In this regard, according to the present means A-1, when the game information stored and stored in the game information storage means is included in the code information displayed in the display means, the code information is stored and stored in the selection information storage means. It is configured to include the selected information, and the information that the player wants to know or collect and the information that the game machine maker wants to know are set. Therefore, when the player reads the code information on the mobile communication terminal after the game and communicates with the server, information useful for both the player side and the game machine maker side can be sent to the server. In particular, the selection information is fast, accurate, and widespread (more players can respond) to avoid out-of-date, off-target, or over-biased information. Can be done. As a result, fresh and accurate information can be obtained in sequence, and it is possible to make use of such good information and work on the development of a new model that meets the expectations of the player. In other words, while retaining the goodness of the past by leaving elements that are popular with players, conversely, removing unpopular elements to simplify them, or replacing them with other elements to suppress complications. You can also make new attempts while doing so.

The game information includes the number of occurrences of a special gaming state that is advantageous to the player, the number of executions of the variable display performed by the variable display means in order to teach the result of the winning / failing lottery for determining the success / failure of the special gaming state, and the number of executions of the variable display. It can be mentioned that a specific effect determined in advance is generated from among a number of effects when displaying a special game state or variation. In addition, corresponding to the slot machine as a game machine, the winning probability of the special game state (bonus) etc. can be set in multiple stages, and there is a difference in the winning probability of the child actor depending on the setting. In the game information storage means, the number of winnings of a child actor whose winning probability differs depending on the setting is accumulated and stored in the game information storage means, and by sending it to the server, the server calculates the appearance rate per predetermined number of games of the child actor. However, it may be configured so that it can be displayed by a portable display means.

Further, as the "selective effect in which the player selects the effect by operating the operation means", a plurality of stages are provided so that the background image, the appearing character, etc. in 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 of the stages 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. Information such as whether or not it was broken can be mentioned (it is not counted as selection information just by operating the operating means to change the stage). Furthermore, during a normal gaming state (for example, when a pachinko machine develops a super reach) or when a special gaming state occurs, the player selects the development destination of the production or the production during the special gaming state from a plurality of production patterns. In a possible configuration, the plurality of effect patterns constitute a selection effect, and the game information in this case includes, for example, information such as which effect pattern has been selected / executed. In addition, when the player operates the operating means within a predetermined period, a predetermined effect is derived as a reaction, and in some cases, the operating means is used in a configuration in which the effect changes depending on the number of operations. The effect that can be derived by operating constitutes the selection effect, and the game information in this case includes, for example, information on whether or not the player has operated the operation means within a predetermined period, or a plurality of operation means. Information on how many times the player has operated the operating means (how many times it has been operated) when an announcement such as one operation is made 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 can be finally obtained. Further, the "code information" is shown not only in a two-dimensional code and a one-dimensional code but also in the form of a sequence of symbols such as a URI, and includes information composed of a sequence (combination) of the symbols. be. Further, "when the mobile communication terminal reads the address information of the server from the code information displayed by the display means and accesses the server, the game information and the selection information included in the code information are obtained. It may be "output to the server".

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

According to the means A-2, the data storage capacity of the game information in the game machine can be suppressed as much as possible.

Means A-3. After the operation for starting the accumulation of the game information of the individual player is performed on the game information storage means, the selection information storage means stores the game information and the code information including the selection information. The gaming machine according to means A-1 or A-2, wherein the selection information is stored not only until it is displayed on the display means but also during other periods.

According to the means A-3, selection information other than that of the player who sent the data is also sent. This allows more selection information to be obtained on the server. In the case of a configuration in which the player's individual selection information is not separately stored, the selection information of a specific player can be blurred, and the individual's hobbies / preferences are unknowingly highlighted (to the player). It is possible to suppress the situation such as (it is known and offended).

The code information may be configured to include all the selection information accumulated on that day of the gaming machine, or may be configured to include the selection information up to several days ago (divided by day). You may. In addition, the server is configured to be capable of accumulating individual selection information separately from the total selection information of the game consoles played by the player, and only when the player agrees to accumulate the individual selection information. It may be configured to accumulate personal selection information.

Means A-4. The stored content of the game information storage means is erased when the game information and the code information including the selection information are displayed on the display means, whereas the storage content of the selection information storage means is described. The gaming machine according to means A-3, wherein the stored contents of the game information storage means are left even after being erased.

According to the means A-4, more selection information can be sent to the server (selection information for other players is also sent together) while suppressing the data storage capacity of the game information in the game machine as much as possible. It will be possible. Further, for example, in the case of a configuration in which the stored contents of the selection information storage means are erased when the code information is displayed on the display means, for example, the player displays the code information on the display means of the gaming machine at the end of the game. However, if the code information is not read and transmitted to the server, the player's selection information is not sent to the server and does not remain on the gaming machine side. On the other hand, according to this means, since the stored contents of the selected information storage means are left even after the code information is displayed, there is a possibility that another player may send the code information to the server. Therefore, the action and effect of obtaining more selection information can be more reliably achieved.

The gaming machine may be configured to erase the selection information that has passed a predetermined period (predetermined time, predetermined number of days, etc.) after being stored in the selection information storage means, or may not be erased (erased). It may be configured so that there is no program).

Means A-5. Equipped with an input means that allows information to be input by the operation of the player
By inputting the password using the input means, the state in which the game information of the individual player is accumulated in the game information storage means is started, and the state is started.
When the password includes the game information and the information corresponding to the selection information stored in the server, the processing corresponding to the corresponding processing (when the game information and the information corresponding to the selection information are not included, or Any of means A-1 or A-4 characterized in that the game information stored in the server and the stored contents of the selection information are different from each other) can be executed. The described gaming machine.

It should be noted that "the server has the password according to the stored contents of the host-side game information storage means and the host-side selection information storage means in response to a player's request via the mobile communication terminal being accessed. It may be said that it has a password issuing means for issuing a password.

According to the means A-5, not only the game information stored and stored in the host-side game information storage means but also the selection information stored and stored in the host-side selection information storage means can be reflected in the game. For example, it is possible to analyze the tendency of a player's hobbies and tastes toward a game to facilitate the derivation of a suitable effect, or to grasp the tendency of a player as a whole's hobbies and tastes, that is, whether or not each effect is popular. It is possible to facilitate the derivation of popular productions. Therefore, it is possible to improve the playability by retrofitting according to the tendency of the individual player or the player as a whole to have hobbies and tastes. In addition, since the production balance changes according to the accumulation status of the selection information, it is possible to suppress the mannerism.

It should be noted that the input means may be at least partially configured by the operation means, or may be provided completely separately. Further, "By inputting the password to the gaming machine when starting the game of the gaming machine, the effect table referred to when deriving the selection effect is configured to be modifiable." May be. In addition, the "request of the player through the mobile communication terminal being accessed" means not only the operation corresponding to the password issuance by the mobile communication terminal on the web page, but also, for example, the mobile communication terminal. In the case where the password is programmed to be issued to the web page suddenly when the information indicating that the game is the first game is received via, the first access is also included.

Means A-6. When the password includes the game information of the individual player stored in the server and the information corresponding to the selection information of the individual player, the processing corresponding to the information (in the game information and the selection information). A means A The gaming machine according to 5.

In addition, the server "the host-side game information storage means includes a personal game information storage area that can store and store the game information of an individual player.
The host-side selection information storage means includes a personal selection information storage area capable of storing and storing the selection information of an individual player.
The password issuing means may issue the password according to the stored contents of the corresponding personal game information storage area and the stored contents of the corresponding personal selection information storage area. "

According to the means A-6, the selection information accumulated so far by the individual player, that is, the hobby and preference of the player can be reflected in the game. For example, in a configuration in which a plurality of stages are provided so that the background image, characters, etc. in the display means are changed, and the stages are sequentially changed by operating the operation means during a normal gaming state. For example, by inputting a password, it can be configured to automatically switch to a stage where the player's selection rate is high (the number of selections is large). Further, for example, in a configuration in which the player can select the development destination of the effect or the effect during the special game state during a normal game state (for example, when a super reach is developed in a pachinko machine) or when a 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 at a position for selecting an effect for which the player has a high selection rate. Further, for example, in a configuration in which a player operates an operating 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 operation means is not performed much (replaced with other effects) for the player who does not operate the operation means so much, or the number of operations of the operation means is originally the reference number of times. It is also possible to configure the specific effect to be derived by performing a predetermined number of operations less than the reference number of times, where the specific effect is performed by reaching. Therefore, the player feels that the gaming machine becomes familiar with the player as the game is repeated, and the player can play the game comfortably. In addition, it is possible to eliminate the situation in which the same operation must be performed every time in order to bring the gaming machine into a state of the player's preference within the range that the player can select.

Means A-7. When the password includes the game information of the individual player stored in the server and the information corresponding to the selection information of the entire player, the processing corresponding to the information (the game information and the selection information). A means A The gaming machine according to 5.

In addition, the server "the host-side game information storage means includes a personal game information storage area that can store and store the game information of an individual player.
The host-side selection information storage means includes an overall selection information storage area capable of accumulating and storing the selection information of the entire player.
The password issuing means may issue the password according to the stored contents of the corresponding personal game information storage area and the stored contents of the overall selection information storage area. "

According to the means A-7, the selection information of all the players so far is aggregated, that is, the statistics of the hobbies and tastes of all the players who are playing the game machine of the corresponding model can be reflected in the game. .. For this reason, for example, a player who is playing for the first time is recommended to enjoy a popular production first, and the possibility of attracting the player's interest at the earliest possible stage is increased. It is possible to positively appeal the goodness of the gaming machine, such as having the player who has selected only the production select a popular production as a trial and discover new goodness. .. Therefore, depending on the development of the game, it is possible to reduce the situation in which the potential of the gaming machine cannot be fully drawn out and the game cannot be played. It should be noted that the hobbies and tastes of the entire player may be reflected when the gaming machine has little gaming experience, and the hobbies and preferences may not be reflected when the gaming experience is accumulated to some extent.

Means A-8. When the password includes the game information of the individual player accumulated in the server and the information corresponding to the selection information of the individual player or / and the entire player, the processing corresponding to the information (the game). It is configured to be able to execute (a process different from the case where the information and the information corresponding to the selection information are not included, or the case where the storage contents of the game information and the selection information stored in the server are different). The gaming machine according to the featured means A-5.

In addition, the server "the host-side game information storage means includes a personal game information storage area that can store and store the game information of an individual player.
The host-side selection information storage means includes an individual selection information storage area that can store and store the selection information of an individual player, and an overall selection information storage area that can store and store the selection information of the entire player.
The password issuing means corresponds to at least one of the stored contents of the corresponding personal game information storage area, the stored contents of the corresponding personal selection information storage area, and the stored contents of the overall selection information storage area. Issuing the password. "

According to the means A-8, it becomes possible to reflect the hobby and taste of the individual player and the hobby and taste of the entire player, which is basically the same as the above means A-6 and A-7. The action effect of is played. It should be noted that the player may be configured to be able to select whether to reflect the individual hobbies and tastes or to reflect the hobbies and tastes of the entire player (or not to reflect them at all). Furthermore, such selection may be made 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, simplify the processing related to password issuance, simplify the storage capacity, and reduce the time and effort required to enter the password.

Means A-9. When the password includes information corresponding to the fact that the specific game information is stored in the server in a predetermined amount or more, the player's individual stored in the server included in the password is said to be the same. Execution of processing according to the game information and the selection information of the individual player,
If the password does not include information corresponding to the fact that the specific game information is stored in the server in a predetermined amount or more, the player's individual stored in the server included in the password. The gaming machine according to means A-8, characterized in that processing is executed according to the gaming information and the selection information of the entire player.

In addition, "when the password issuing means determines whether or not the specific game information is accumulated in the host-side game information storage means in a predetermined amount or more at the time of issuing the password, and a negative determination is made. Is issued with the password corresponding to the storage contents of the personal selection information storage area and the overall selection information storage area, and if affirmative determination is made, the personal selection information storage area and the personal selection information storage area Issuing the password according to the stored contents ”may be used.

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

In addition, in order to determine which of the personal selection information storage area and the overall selection information storage area is to be reflected in the game (whether it is included in the password) on the server side, the personal selection information storage area and the overall selection information Compared with the case where both storage contents of the storage area are included in the password, the number of information identified from the password, and by extension, the total number of patterns of the password can be reduced. Therefore, the password can be shortened as much as possible, and the number of types of words used in the password can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the processing related to the issuance of the password, the storage capacity, and the labor related to the password input.

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

According to the means A-10, the accumulated selection information can be prevented from being reflected in the game. Therefore, even a player who has a good balance as it is can comfortably perform a mobile interlocking game using a mobile communication terminal and a server.

In addition, a player's personal selection information storage means and a host-side selection information storage means (individual selection information storage area) that store and store selection information only in the mobile-linked game state are provided to show the intention that the player does not reflect. If (corresponding operation / setting is made), the selection information is not stored and stored in the means for storing the selection information for the individual player (the configuration may ask whether or not to participate each time, or only the first time participation. It may be a configuration that reflects the result below by asking the pros and cons of the above), or it may be a configuration that can be accumulated but not reflected.

The production has changed and new services have been received.

In addition, the determination of rank update is performed on the server. That is, since the game record of the individual player is stored on the server side, even if the condition for updating the rank is cleared at the time of the game, the rank is not updated unless the information indicating that is transmitted to the server side. Therefore, the update of the rank will be reflected from the next game.

However, the game starts from a short time before the conditions for rank update are cleared, and even if the conditions are cleared early, the game is finished once and data is exchanged between the server and the game machine. Otherwise, the rank update will not be reflected in the game, and the player who wants to reflect it immediately will be forced to take extra time. In addition, even after achieving the rank update conditions, by accumulating games without accessing the server, the period during which you can enjoy the effects corresponding to the next updated rank will be significantly shortened, or There is a risk that the condition of jumping one rank higher and updating to the second higher rank will be achieved, and the opportunity to enjoy the production corresponding to the next higher rank will be lost. be.
