  The first special symbol display device 20 is for notifying a lottery result obtained when a game ball enters the first start port 14, and is composed of 7-segment LEDs. That is, a plurality of special symbols corresponding to the jackpot lottery result are provided, and the lottery result is notified to the player by displaying the special symbol corresponding to the jackpot lottery result on the first special symbol display device 20. I am doing so. For example, “7” is displayed when the jackpot is won, and “−” is displayed when the player wins. “7” and “−” displayed in this way are special symbols, but these special symbols are not displayed immediately, but are displayed in a stopped state after being displayed for a predetermined time. .

  Here, the “successful lottery” means that when a game ball enters the first starting port 14 or the second starting port 15, a special symbol determining random number value is acquired, and the acquired special symbol determining random value is acquired. Is a random number value corresponding to “big hit” or a random number value corresponding to “small hit”. The jackpot lottery result is not immediately notified to the player, and the first special symbol display device 20 displays a variation such as blinking of the special symbol, and when the predetermined variation time has passed, the jackpot lottery result The special symbol corresponding to is stopped and displayed so that the player is notified of the lottery result.

  The second special symbol display device 21 is for notifying a lottery result of a jackpot that is performed when a game ball enters the second start port 15, and the display mode is the above-described first display mode. This is the same as the special symbol display mode in the special symbol display device 20.

  Further, in this embodiment, “big hit” means that a right to win a big hit game is obtained in a big win lottery performed on condition that a game ball has entered the first start port 14 or the second start port 15 Say what you did. In the “hit game”, a round game in which the first big prize opening 16 or the second big prize opening 17 is opened is performed 15 times in total. A predetermined time is set for the maximum opening time of the first grand prize port 16 or the second grand prize port 17 in each round game, and during this time, the first grand prize port 16 or the second grand prize port 17 is set. When a predetermined number of game balls (for example, nine) enter, one round game is completed.

  In other words, the “big hit game” is a game in which a game ball can enter the first grand prize winning opening 16 or the second big winning prize opening 17 and the player can acquire a winning ball according to the winning prize.

  The normal symbol display device 22 is for notifying the lottery result of the normal symbol that is performed when the game ball passes through the normal symbol gate 13. As will be described in detail later, when the winning symbol is won by the normal symbol lottery, the normal symbol display device 22 is turned on, and then the second start port 15 is controlled to the second mode for a predetermined time.

  Here, “normal symbol lottery” means that when a game ball passes through the normal symbol gate 13, the normal symbol determination random number value is acquired, and the acquired normal symbol determination random value corresponds to “winning”. This is a process for determining whether or not a random value. The lottery result of the normal symbol is not always notified immediately after the game ball passes through the normal symbol gate 13, but the normal symbol display device 22 displays a variation such as blinking of the normal symbol. When the fluctuation time elapses, the normal symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the normal symbol is stopped and displayed so that the player is notified of the lottery result.

  Furthermore, if a game ball enters the first start port 14 or the second start port 15 during special symbol fluctuation display or a special game to be described later, and if a big win lottery cannot be performed immediately, a certain condition The right to win a jackpot will be withheld.

  More specifically, the random number value for special symbol determination acquired when the game ball enters the first start port 14 is stored as the first hold, and when the game ball enters the second start port 15 The acquired special symbol determination random number value is stored as the second hold.

  For both of these holds, the upper limit hold number is set to 4, and the hold number is displayed on the first special symbol hold indicator 23 and the second special symbol hold indicator 24, respectively.

  When there is one first hold, the LED on the left side of the first special symbol hold indicator 23 lights up, and when there are two first holds, two LEDs on the first special symbol hold indicator 23 Lights up. In addition, when there are three first holds, the LED on the left side of the first special symbol hold indicator 23 blinks and the right LED is lit, and when there are four first holds, the first special symbol hold. Two LEDs on the display 23 blink.

  The second special symbol hold indicator 24 also displays the number of second hold on hold in the same manner as described above.

  The upper limit reserved number of normal symbols is also set to four, and the reserved number of normal symbols is displayed in the same manner as the first special symbol hold indicator 23 and the second special symbol hold indicator 24. Displayed on the instrument 25.

  When power is supplied from the power supply board 170, a system reset occurs in the main CPU 110a, and the main CPU 110a performs the following main processing.

  First, in step S10, the main CPU 110a performs an initialization process. In this process, the main CPU 110a reads a startup program from the main ROM 110b and initializes a flag stored in the main RAM 110c in response to power-on.

  In step S30, the main CPU 110a updates the initial random number value for special symbol determination, the initial random number value for big hit symbol, the initial random number value for small bonus symbol, and the initial random number value for normal symbol determination. Thereafter, the processes of step S20 and step S30 are repeated until a predetermined interrupt process is performed.

  The timer interrupt process of the main control board 110 will be described with reference to FIG.

  A clock pulse is generated every predetermined period (4 milliseconds) by the reset clock pulse generation circuit provided on the main control board 110, thereby executing a timer interrupt process described below.

  First, in step S100, the main CPU 110a saves the information stored in the register of the main CPU 110a to the stack area.

  In step S110, the main CPU 110a updates the special symbol time counter, updates the special game timer counter such as the opening time of the special electric accessory, updates the normal symbol time counter, and updates the normal power release time counter. A time control process for updating various timer counters is performed. Specifically, a process of subtracting 1 from a special symbol time counter, a special game timer counter, a normal symbol time counter, and a general electricity open time counter is performed.

  In step S120, the main CPU 110a performs a random number update process for the special symbol determination random number value, the big hit symbol random number value, the small hit symbol random number value, and the normal symbol determination random number value.

  Specifically, each random number value and random number counter are updated by adding +1. When the added random number counter exceeds the maximum value in the random number range (when the random number counter makes one revolution), the random number counter is returned to 0, and each random number value is newly updated from the initial random number value at that time. .

  In step S130, as in step S30, the main CPU 110a updates the initial random number value for special symbol determination, the initial random number value for big hit symbol, the initial random number value for small hit symbol, and the initial random number value for normal symbol determination. Perform numerical value update processing.

  In step S200, the main CPU 110a performs input control processing.

  In this process, the main CPU 110a includes a general winning opening detection switch 12a, a first large winning opening detection switch 16a, a second large winning opening detection switch 17a, a first starting opening detection switch 14a, a second starting opening detection switch 15a, a gate. An input process for determining whether or not there is an input to each switch of the detection switch 13a is performed.

  Specifically, various detection signals from the general winning opening detecting switch 12a, the first big winning opening detecting switch 16a, the second large winning opening detecting switch 17a, the first starting opening detecting switch 14a, and the second starting opening detecting switch 15a. Is inputted, predetermined data is added to the prize ball counter used for the prize ball provided for each winning opening and updated.

  Furthermore, when a detection signal is input from the first start port detection switch 14a, if the data set in the first special symbol hold number (U1) storage area is less than 4, the first special symbol hold number ( U1) Add 1 to the storage area to obtain special symbol determination random number value, jackpot symbol random number value, small hit symbol random number value, reach determination random value, and special symbol variation random value The random number value is stored in a predetermined storage unit (0th storage unit to 4th storage unit) in the first special symbol random value storage area.

  Similarly, when a detection signal is input from the second start port detection switch 15a, if the data set in the second special symbol hold number (U2) storage area is less than 4, the second special symbol hold number (U2) 1 is added to the storage area, and a special symbol determination random number value, a big hit symbol random number value, a small hit symbol random number value, a reach determination random number value, and a special symbol variation random value are acquired. Various random numbers are stored in a predetermined storage unit (0th storage unit to 4th storage unit) in the second special symbol random number value storage area.

  When a detection signal is input from the gate detection switch 13a, if the data set in the normal symbol hold number (G) storage area is less than 4, the normal symbol hold number (G) storage area is set to 1. It adds, acquires the random number value for normal symbol determination, and memorize | stores the acquired random number value for normal symbol determination in the predetermined memory | storage part (0th memory | storage part-4th memory | storage part) in a normal symbol holding | maintenance storage area.

  Further, when a detection signal is input from the first grand prize opening detection switch 16a or the second big prize opening detection switch 17a, the number of game balls won in the first big prize opening 16 or the second big prize opening 17 is counted. 1 is added to the number of entries (C) storage area for the big winning opening to update.

  In step S300, the main CPU 110a performs a special drawing special electric control process for controlling the jackpot lottery, the special electric accessory, and the gaming state.

  In step S400, the main CPU 110a performs a normal / normal power control process for controlling the normal symbol lottery and the normal electric accessory.

  Specifically, it is first determined whether or not 1 or more data is set in the normal symbol hold count (G) storage area, and 1 or more data must be set in the normal symbol hold count (G) storage area. If this is the case, the current ordinary power transmission control process is terminated.

  If 1 or more data is set in the normal symbol holding number (G) storage area, after subtracting 1 from the value stored in the normal symbol holding number (G) storage area, the data is in the normal symbol holding storage area. The normal symbol determination random numbers stored in the first storage unit to the fourth storage unit are shifted to the previous storage unit. At this time, the normal symbol determination random value already written in the 0th storage unit is overwritten and erased.

  Then, a process of determining whether or not the normal symbol determination random number value stored in the 0th storage unit of the normal symbol hold storage area is a random value corresponding to “win” is performed. Thereafter, the normal symbol display device 22 displays the fluctuation of the normal symbol. When the fluctuation time of the normal symbol elapses, the normal symbol corresponding to the result of the normal symbol lottery is stopped and displayed. If the random number for normal symbol determination referred to is “winning”, the start opening / closing solenoid 15c is driven to control the second start opening 15 to the second mode for a predetermined opening time.

  Here, in the non-short-time gaming state, the variation time of the normal symbol is set to 29 seconds, and if it is “winning”, the second start port 15 is controlled to the second mode for 0.2 seconds. On the other hand, in the short-time gaming state, the normal symbol variation time is set to 0.2 seconds, and if it is “winning”, the second start port 15 is controlled to the second mode for 3.5 seconds. .

  In step S500, the main CPU 110a performs a payout control process.

  In this payout control process, the main CPU 110a refers to the respective prize ball counters, generates payout number designation commands corresponding to various winning ports, and transmits the generated payout number designation commands to the payout control board 130.

Display device output processing is performed.

  Further, command transmission processing for transmitting the command set in the effect transmission data storage area of the main RAM 110c to the effect control board 120 is also performed.

  In step S800, the main CPU 110a restores the information saved in step S100 to the register of the main CPU 110a.

  With reference to FIG. 7, the special figure special power control process of the main control board 110 will be described.

  First, in step S301, the value of the special figure special electricity processing data is loaded, the branch address is referred to from the special figure special electric treatment data loaded in step S302, and if the special figure special electric treatment data = 0, the special symbol memory determination process (step The process proceeds to S310). If the special symbol special power processing data = 1, the process proceeds to the special symbol variation processing (step S320). If the special symbol special power processing data = 2, the special symbol stop processing (step S330) is performed. If special figure special electric processing data = 3, the process moves to jackpot game processing (step S340), and if special figure special electric processing data = 4, the process moves to big hit game end processing (step S350). If special electric processing data = 5, the processing is shifted to the small hit game processing (step S360).

  This “special drawing special electricity processing data” is set as necessary in each subroutine of the special figure special electricity control processing, so that the subroutine necessary for the game is appropriately processed.

  First, in step S311, the main CPU 110a determines whether one or more data is set in the first special symbol hold count (U1) storage area or the second special symbol hold count (U2) storage area.

  If one or more data is not set in any storage area of the first special symbol hold count (U1) storage area or the second special symbol hold count (U2) storage area, the special figure special electricity processing data = 0. The special symbol variation process of this time is terminated while holding.

  On the other hand, if one or more data is set in the first special symbol hold count (U1) storage area or the second special symbol hold count (U2) storage area, the process proceeds to step S312.

After the subtraction, the various random numbers stored in the first to fourth storage units in the second special symbol random number storage area are shifted to the previous storage unit. At this time, various random values already written in the 0th storage unit are overwritten and deleted. Whether the special symbol determination random number value stored in the 0th storage unit of the second special symbol random value storage area is a random value corresponding to “big hit” or a random value corresponding to “small hit” Judgment is made.

  In addition, when one or more data is not set in the second special symbol hold number (U2) storage area and one or more data is set in the first special symbol hold number (U1) storage area, Various random numbers stored in the first to fourth storage units in the first special symbol random number storage area after subtracting 1 from the value stored in the first special symbol hold number (U1) storage area Is shifted to the previous storage unit. Also at this time, various random numbers already written in the 0th storage unit are overwritten and deleted. Whether the special symbol determination random number value stored in the 0th storage unit of the first special symbol random value storage area is a random value corresponding to “big hit” or a random value corresponding to “small hit” Judgment is made.

The jackpot symbol is determined based on this. Further, when it is determined as “small hit” in the big hit determination process (step S312), the small hit symbol random number value stored in the 0th storage unit of the first special symbol random number value storage area is small. The winning symbol is determined. Further, when it is determined as “losing” in the jackpot determination process (step S312), a lost symbol is determined.

  Then, stop symbol data corresponding to the determined special symbol is stored in the stop symbol data storage area.

  In step S314, the main CPU 110a performs special symbol variation time determination processing.

  Specifically, the variation pattern of the special symbol is determined based on the reach determination random number value and the special diagram variation random value stored in the 0th storage unit of the first special symbol random value storage area. Thereafter, the variation time of the special symbol corresponding to the determined variation pattern of the special symbol is determined. Then, a process of setting a counter corresponding to the determined variation time of the special symbol in the special symbol time counter is performed.

(2) In order to expand and expand image data (image data such as production symbol 36) frequently used in the expansion circuit to the expansion storage area 153b of the VRAM 153, set predetermined initial value data in the expansion register,

(3) An initial value display list is output in order to cause the drawing circuit to draw initial value image data (such as a character image “power-on”).

  In step S1720, the host CPU 150a performs a drawing execution start process. In this process, in order to instruct the VDP 2000 to execute drawing on the display list that has already been output, drawing execution start data is set in the drawing register.

  That is, at the start of power-on, execution of drawing for the initial value display list output at step S1710 is instructed, and during normal routine processing, execution of drawing for the display list output at S1750 described later is instructed. .

  In step S1730, the host CPU 150a performs effect instruction command analysis processing for analyzing the effect instruction command (command stored in the reception buffer of the host RAM 150b) transmitted from the effect control board 120.

  When the image control board 150 receives a command transmitted from the effect control board 120, a command reception interrupt process of the image control board 150 (not shown) occurs, and the received command is stored in the reception buffer. Thereafter, the received command is analyzed in step S1730.

  The effect instruction command analysis process confirms whether or not an effect instruction command is stored in the reception buffer. If an effect instruction command is not stored in the reception buffer, the process proceeds to step S1740 as it is.

  If a production instruction command is stored in the reception buffer, a new production instruction command is read, and one or more animation groups to be executed are determined based on the read production instruction command. Determine the pattern. When the animation pattern is determined, the read effect instruction command is deleted from the transmission buffer.

  In step S1740, the host CPU 150a performs an animation control process. In this processing, the addresses of various animation scenes are updated based on the “scene switching counter”, “wait frame”, “frame counter”, and the animation pattern determined in step S1730.

  In step S1750, the host CPU 150a determines the display list from the display information (sprite identification number, display position, etc.) of the animation scene at the updated address according to the priority order (drawing order) of the animation group to which the animation scene belongs. Will be generated.

  When the generation of the display list is completed, the host CPU 150a outputs the display list to the VDP 2000.

  The display list output here is stored in the display list storage area 153a of the VRAM 153 via the CPU I / F in VDP2000.

  In step S1760, the host CPU 150a determines whether or not “FB switching flag = 01”.

  Here, the FB switching flag becomes FB switching flag = 01 if drawing of the previous display list is completed in the V blank interruption every 1/60 seconds (about 16.6 ms). That is, in step S1760, it is determined whether or not the previous drawing has been completed.

  If “FB switching flag = 01”, the host CPU 150a moves the process to step S1770, and if “FB switching flag = 00”, the host CPU 150a waits until “FB switching flag = 01”.

  In step S1770, the host CPU 150a sets “FB switching flag = 00” (sets the FB switching flag to “off”), and proceeds to step S1720.

  Thereafter, the processing from step S1720 to step S1770 is repeated until a predetermined interrupt occurs.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an overall configuration of a gaming system configured using the gaming machine according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  14, the gaming system includes a configuration in which the gaming machine 1 configured as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is provided, and an information terminal 300 having a code information reading function for reading code information displayed on the gaming machine. An information processing server (information management device) 400 that performs processing based on information included in code information read by the information terminal 300, and a communication control device 500 that controls communication between the information terminal 300 and the information processing server 400. It is the structure which has at least.

  The information terminal 300 is equipped with an imaging device (hereinafter referred to as “camera”) that captures an image for reading the code information displayed on the gaming machine 1, and images the code information using the camera. An acquisition request for information relating to the player (hereinafter referred to as “player information”), such as a player ID or a player's game history information, to the information processing server 400 via the communication control device 500 based on the captured code information. I do.

  The information processing server 400 makes a response to the player information request from the information terminal 300. Note that this communication control device 500 is a processing control device in a carrier that generally provides a line or the like used for communication, and performs communication control.

  FIG. 15 is a sequence diagram showing detailed process transition of the history recording game performed in the gaming system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  With reference to FIG. 15, detailed process transition of the history recording game in the information processing server (information management device), the information terminal, and the gaming machine constituting the gaming system shown in FIG. 14 will be described.

  First, when the player operates the information terminal, a use start screen is displayed on the display of the information terminal.

  This use start screen is a screen that is displayed at the start of player authentication, and is a screen on which information about the player can be input if necessary.

  When information relating to the player is entered on the use start screen, a login process is performed based on the information entered on the use start screen. Further, when information regarding the player is not input on the use start screen, the information terminal performs a player authentication process (login process) using the terminal ID or the like.

  In addition, the use start screen is provided with a selection box for selecting to play a game with a temporary password. When this selection box is selected and the start of use is instructed, the use of the history recording game using the temporary password is used. Start is instructed.

  That is, in the information terminal, it is possible to instruct a gaming machine using a temporary password as well as a history recording game using a regular password.

  When this use start screen is displayed and the player operates the information terminal to perform an instruction operation for login processing, the information terminal specifies the instruction type based on the input information and the selected information. A login process request (authentication request) is made to the information processing server (S1501).

  At this time, in the information terminal, when the history recording game using the temporary password is selected, the instruction type is set to “game instruction type using the temporary password”, and the history recording using the temporary password is performed. If the game is not selected, the instruction type is set to “history recording game instruction type” and a login process request is made.

  In the information processing server in which the login processing request is made from the information terminal, processing for confirming the registration state of the player information is performed based on the information related to the player such as the terminal ID related to the information terminal included in the login processing request ( S1502).

  By this confirmation processing, the player information is not registered in the information processing server as information related to the player such as the terminal ID included in the login processing request in which the “history record gaming instruction type” is set. Then, record instruction information (“temporary password” in the above example) including the record instruction type of the game history information using the temporary password, in which the player information is not registered, is created (S1503).

  As described above, the temporary password at this time is created every time a login processing request is made from the information terminal, or may be created in advance. That is, a different temporary password may be used for each player, or a temporary password common to all players may be used.

  When the temporary password is created in this way, the information processing server stores the terminal ID for identifying the information terminal for which the login processing request has been made, as player identification information for identifying the player who plays the game in the gaming machine ( S1504).

  Then, the information processing server transmits the created temporary password to the information terminal (S1505).

  Accordingly, when the information terminal receives a temporary password response from the information processing server in response to the login processing request, the information terminal displays the received temporary password on the display of the information terminal (S1506).

  Subsequently, when the temporary password is displayed on the information terminal, the player operates the effect button or the like of the gaming machine to display the history recording game start screen as shown in FIG. When an operation of selecting “recording game start” is performed, a password input screen as shown in FIG. 17 is displayed.

  The menu screen as shown in FIG. 16 shows a screen (history recording game start instruction screen) for instructing the start of the history recording game. In this history recording game start instruction screen, a password input screen as shown in FIG. 17A is displayed by pressing an effect button or the like.

  When the player enters a password (temporary password) on the password input screen as shown in FIG. 17A (an example in the middle of password input is shown in FIG. 17B), The machine analyzes the input password and determines that the instruction type designated for the password is “a game history information recording instruction type using a temporary password”.

  When it is determined that the input password is the “recording instruction type of game history information using the temporary password”, the gaming machine determines that the temporary password has been input and sets the temporary login state (S1507). ). At this time, the gaming machine displays a screen indicating that “logged in to the game history information game with a temporary password” as shown in FIG.

  Thereafter, in the gaming machine, an effect process is performed and a game using a game medium is performed (S1508). After entering the temporary login state, the gaming machine records history information relating to the game performed by the player's operation as “game history information”.

  Information recorded in a game played after entering the provisional login state (also referred to as a play history) is instructed using a menu screen (history record game confirmation screen) for performing history record game confirmation as shown in FIG. By this, the player can confirm, for example, as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 20 is a screen showing an example of a mission effect performed by a player as a play history, and shows information such as the character level information used for the effect and the progress of the story.

  Then, when the game is ended, logout processing for canceling the temporary login state due to the input of the temporary password is performed (S1509).

  At the end of the gaming machine, for example, the player instructs the end of the game using a menu screen (history recording game end confirmation screen) for instructing the end of the history recording game as shown in FIG.

  In this way, in addition to the game history information recorded up to that point and the player information whose designation has been canceled, it includes “player level”, “achieved mission information”, and “value information”. Code information including “recording instruction type of game history information” or an end password is created and displayed on the display of the gaming machine (S1510).

  FIG. 22 shows an example in which end code information is displayed. Although FIG. 22 shows an example in which the end code information is displayed, the present invention is not limited to this, and an end password composed of a character string may be displayed.

  In the example shown in FIG. 22, together with code information including information such as “player level”, “achieved mission information”, and “value information”, an instruction button (data clear) for instructing to erase (clear) these information Button) is displayed.

  By selecting this data clear button and pressing the effect button, the game log information and the like recorded thereafter are erased after entering the temporary login state.

  Of course, by not pressing the data clear button shown in FIG. 22 and instructing data erasure (clear) on the menu screen (data erasure instruction screen) for instructing data erasure as shown in FIG. After displaying a screen for confirming data clear as shown, the data may be cleared by a process in which the data is erased and a confirmation screen as shown in FIG. 25 is displayed.

  In this way, when the logout process is performed in the gaming machine, the player operates the information terminal to display the gaming use end screen on the display of the gaming machine, and a password (hereinafter, referred to as the gaming use end screen). (Also referred to as “end password”) is entered (S1511).

  The information terminal transmits the input password (end password) to the information processing server (S1512).

  In the information processing server that has received the password (end password) from the information terminal, the game history information included in the password (end password) is newly added to the game history information managed by the information processing server and registered. Processing is performed (S1513).

  A detailed flow of this registration processing is shown in FIG. 29 and will be described later.

  FIG. 26 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of the information control unit constituting the gaming machine in the embodiment of the present invention.

  26, the information control unit 200 includes a reception control unit 201, an information processing control unit 202, a storage unit 203, a state management unit 204, a state switching control unit 205, an effect control unit 206, and a code information generation unit 207. Composed.

  The reception control unit 201 receives game information related to the game of the lottery process for the jackpot (privilege) from the main control board 110 constituting the gaming machine shown in FIG. 4, and sends the game information (in the above, “ Sends out a change pattern command. In the information processing control unit 202, an effect instruction is given to the effect control unit 206 based on the game information.

  Thereby, the effect control unit 206 reads the effect program and table information as described above stored in the storage unit 203 configured by the sub ROM 120b, the sub RAM 120c, and the like in the effect control board 120 shown in FIG. Process.

  Then, the effect control unit 206 sends a control signal based on the effect control process to the image control board 150 and the lamp control board 140 shown in FIG. 4 based on the effect control process.

  In addition, the reception control unit 201 accepts an input of a password, which is an example of code information, or an instruction to record game history information as information relating to a player using a user interface such as an effect button, from the effect button detection switch 35a shown in FIG. When the state becomes the login state (login state), the reception control unit 201 sends the password to the information processing control unit 202.

  When the password is received, the information processing control unit 202 performs an analysis process, and determines an instruction type or the like designated by the password. This instruction type is a type that indicates the state of the game.

  The information processing control unit 202 notifies the determined instruction type to the state management unit 204, and the state management unit 204 manages the login state according to the notified instruction type. In the state management unit 204, “non-login state” is set as an initial setting.

  When the determined instruction type is “a game history information recording instruction type using a temporary password”, the state management unit 204 manages the “temporary login state”. On the other hand, when the determined instruction type is “history recording game instruction type”, the state management unit 204 manages the “login state”.

  When the state management unit 204 manages the state in this way, the information processing control unit 202 is in either the “temporary login state” or the “login state” for the effect control unit 206. Notify the status information indicating.

  Next, the information processing control unit 202 that has received the game information via the reception control unit 201 instructs the effect control unit 206 to perform effect control processing based on the game information. The effect control unit 206 performs an effect control process based on the game information, and stores the game history information based on the effect control process in the storage unit 203.

  At this time, the storage unit 203 stores “record designation information” in which information relating to the game to be stored as the game history information is designated according to the state (login state or provisional login state) indicated by the state information. .

  The effect control unit 206 reads out this “recording designation information” from the storage unit 203, and notifies the “temporary login state” or “login state” notified from the information processing control unit 202 as game history information when the game is played. In response to this, the information designated by the “record designation information” is stored in the storage unit 203.

  As this “recording designation information”, for example, in the “temporary login state”, it is designated to record the number of fluctuations and the number of lottery wins as game history information. On the other hand, in the “logged-in state”, other information is also specified in addition to the information recorded in the “temporary login state”. That is, in the “record designation information”, more information is recorded as game history information in the “login state” than in the “temporary login state”. In other words, the information recorded as game history information varies depending on the state.

  Then, when the game end condition is satisfied, for example, when the end condition is satisfied by instructing logout processing using a user interface such as an effect button, reception is performed via the reception control unit 201, and reception control is performed. The unit 201 notifies the information processing control unit 202 that a logout process has been instructed.

  The information processing control unit 202 instructs the code information generation unit 207 to generate code information. Further, the information processing control unit 202 cancels the “login state” or “temporary login state” of the state information managed by the state management unit 204. That is, the state is changed to the default “non-login state”.

  In the code information generation unit 207 instructed to generate code information from the information processing control unit 202, in addition to the game history information stored in the storage unit 203 and the player identification information associated with this game history information, When a game is played in the “temporary login state”, code information including the end of the game in the temporary login state is generated. The code information at this time includes, for example, a password made up of a character string in addition to a two-dimensional code.

  The code information generation unit 207 that has generated the code information in this way notifies the information processing control unit 202 that the code information has been generated. The information processing control unit 202 deletes and updates the game history information stored in the storage unit 203.

  Then, the code information generation unit 207 transmits the generated code information to the image control board 150 illustrated in FIG. As a result, the image control board 150 displays the code information on the liquid crystal display device 31.

  FIG. 27 is a block diagram showing a detailed configuration of an information processing server constituting the gaming system including the gaming machine according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  27, the information processing server 400 includes a transmission / reception control unit 401, a registration state confirmation unit 402, a storage unit 403, a temporary password creation unit 404, a new registration processing control unit 405, a response processing unit 406, and an information registration unit 407. Configured.

  The storage unit 403 stores information on the player, and stores attribute information on the player in association with player identification information (such as the terminal ID of the information terminal operated by the player) that identifies the player. Yes. Furthermore, the game identification information of the game performed in the gaming machine is stored in association with the player identification information.

  The transmission / reception control unit 401 sends the received information to the registration status confirmation unit 402 when information received from an information terminal such as a mobile phone is analyzed and registered. As information received at this time, there are a login process request and a logout process request in addition to a terminal ID for identifying an information terminal.

  When the transmission / reception control unit 401 receives the login processing request, the transmission / reception control unit 401 sends the terminal ID information received together with the login processing request to the registration state confirmation unit 402. The registration status confirmation unit 402 confirms whether the received terminal ID is included in the position field of the terminal ID in the player identification information stored in the storage unit 403 (whether the same terminal ID is stored). I do.

  When the terminal ID received together with the login processing request is included in the terminal ID stored in the storage unit 403, the registration state confirmation unit 402 has already registered the same terminal ID in the response processing unit 406. Notify that.

  Accordingly, the response processing unit 406 notifies the information terminal that the terminal ID of the information related to the player is registered via the transmission / reception control unit 401.

  In this case, the player information has already been registered. Therefore, in order to start the history recording game, the player performs the following processing.

  In other words, by instructing the gaming machine to start a history recording game by the player's operation and reading the code information displayed on the gaming machine with the information terminal, the information terminal can start the game on the information processing server. A request to issue a password to be used (game start password) is made.

  At this time, in the information processing server, after confirming that the terminal ID of the information terminal operated by the player is stored in the storage unit 403, the player information stored in the storage unit 403 in association with this terminal ID A regular “game start password” including “” is created by a game start password creation unit (not shown) and responds to the information terminal.

  As a result, the information terminal operated by the player is in a state of receiving the “game start password” from the information processing server, and the player starts the game by inputting the “game start password” to the gaming machine. It is something that can be done.

  On the other hand, if the registration status confirmation unit 402 determines that the terminal ID received together with the login processing request is not included in the terminal ID stored in the storage unit 403, the temporary password creation unit 404 Instructs the creation of a temporary password.

  Thereby, the temporary password creation unit 404 is a type indicating that it is a temporary password, and records history information of games performed in the gaming machine in a state where the player information is not registered in the information processing server. Create a temporary password that includes the recording type shown.

  The temporary password creating unit 404 that created the temporary password in this way stores the temporary password in the storage unit 403 and also stores the terminal ID of the information terminal that issued the temporary password.

  The temporary password creation unit 404 sends the created temporary password to the response processing unit 406, and the response processing unit 406 recognizes the information terminal identified by the terminal ID stored in the storage unit 403 via the transmission / reception control unit 401. Send a temporary password to.

  Next, when the transmission / reception control unit 401 receives an arbitrary password as an example of the code information, the transmission / reception control unit 401 sends the password to the registration state confirmation unit 402.

  The registration status confirmation unit 402 confirms whether the terminal ID of the information terminal that has received the password is the terminal ID that has been stored in the storage unit 403 and that has created the temporary password. When it is confirmed that the terminal ID is the terminal ID that created the temporary password, the registration status confirmation unit 402 requests the new registration processing control unit 405 to perform a new registration process.

  When the new registration processing control unit 405 receives a request for new registration processing from the registration status confirmation unit 402, the new registration processing control unit 405 sends information input screen information about the player to the response processing unit 406. At this time, the response processing unit 406 transmits the input screen information to the information terminal via the transmission / reception control unit 401.

  A player information input screen based on the input screen information is displayed on the information terminal. When information is input by the player, the player information is received via the transmission / reception control unit 401. The transmission / reception control unit 401 responds to the new registration processing control unit 405 with the received player information. If the player information is not newly registered even after a certain period of time has elapsed, the new registration processing control unit 405 notifies the registration state confirmation unit 402 of password deletion. As a result, the registration status confirmation unit 402 deletes the received password.

  As a result, the new registration processing control unit 405 sends the terminal ID to the information registration unit 407 together with the received player information.

  The information registration unit 407 stores the terminal ID as player identification information for identifying the player in the storage unit 403 in association with the player identification information and the player information. Furthermore, the information registration unit 407 notifies the registration state confirmation unit 402 that the player information has been stored in the storage unit 403 by the new registration process.

  Accordingly, the registration status confirmation unit 402 confirms that the terminal ID of the information terminal that has received the password is the terminal ID that has created the temporary password, thereby storing the game history information included in the received password. Is stored in association with the player identification information based on the terminal ID stored in.

  FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing performed in the gaming machine according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 28, it is determined whether or not an instruction to record game history information by inputting information related to the player is accepted (S2801), and the processing in this flowchart is not performed until the recording instruction is accepted (NO in S2801). On the other hand, when an instruction to record game history information by input of information is received (YES in S2801), the instruction type of the recording instruction is determined (S2802).

  In this determination processing, as described above, it is determined whether or not “recording instruction type of game history information using a temporary password” is specified in the recording instruction.

  Subsequently, as a result of this determination processing, “recording instruction type of game history information using a temporary password” is specified in the recording instruction, and the player information is not registered in the information processing server and issued. It is determined whether or not it is an instruction to record game history information using a temporary password (S2803).

  If it is not determined that it is an instruction to record game history information using a temporary password (NO in S2803), the processing in this flowchart ends.

  In addition, when it is determined that it is an instruction to record game history information using a temporary password (YES in S2803), a situation in which a game is not performed with game history information stored on the gaming machine being stored, that is, Then, confirmation processing for confirming whether or not the user is logged in is performed (S2804).

  As a result of the confirmation process, when the login state is confirmed (that is, when the game history information of the played game is stored) (NO in S2805), the login state is set and the temporary password is logged in. Is displayed (S2806), and the processing in this flowchart is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the login state is not confirmed by this login state confirmation process (that is, the state where the game history information of the played game is not stored) (YES in S2805), it is managed in advance. Information holding state (hereinafter also referred to as “temporary login state”) in which the game history information is stored from the state where the game history information is not stored (non-information holding state) is set (S2807).

  In this way, the effect image displayed on the liquid crystal display device shown in FIG. 4 may be displayed as “logged in with a temporary password”.

  Next, it is determined whether or not a game has been performed by performing a jackpot (privilege) lottery process (S2808).

  If a game is being played in the provisional login state (YES in S2808), game history information relating to the games that have been played since the provisional password is entered and the provisional login state is entered is stored (S2809).

  On the other hand, when a temporary password is input and no game is played in the temporary login state (NO in S2808), the game history information cannot be stored.

  Then, it is determined whether an end condition for ending the game is satisfied (S2810), and for example, it is determined whether or not a logout process for canceling the login state has been performed. Until the termination condition is satisfied (NO in S2810), the temporary login state is entered and the subsequent processing is repeated.

  If it is determined that the end condition is satisfied (YES in S2810), the stored code includes information indicating that the game is based on the game history information and the temporary password regarding the games that have been played since the temporary login state. Information or an end password is generated (S2811).

  FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing performed in the information processing server constituting the gaming system including the gaming machine according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing a detailed flow of the registration process performed in the information processing server shown in FIG. 15, and the process is started when a password (or code information) is received from the information terminal.

  It is determined whether the terminal ID for identifying the information terminal that is the transmission source of the password is the same as the terminal ID stored as the player identification information of the issue destination from which the temporary password has been issued (S2901).

  If the terminal ID of the information terminal that is the source of the password is not the same as the stored terminal ID (NO in S2901), the received password or code information is deleted (S2902).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the terminal ID for identifying the information terminal that is the transmission source of the password is the same as the terminal ID stored as the player identification information (YES in S2901), information about the player A registration process for newly registering is performed (S2903). In this new registration process, the screen information is transmitted to the information terminal based on the information (terminal ID) for identifying the device (information terminal) that is the transmission source of the password, and the player displays the screen information displayed by the information terminal. This is a process for registering input information.

  Then, it is determined whether or not player information is newly registered by this new player registration process (S2904). When player information is newly registered (YES in S2904), the input password is analyzed (S2905). .

  As a result of the analysis, the game history information included in the password is stored in association with the player identification information of the player information registered by the new registration process (S2906). Then, it transmits (notifies) that the game history information has been properly registered to the information terminal that is the transmission source of the password (S2907).

  Further, in the process of determining whether or not player information has been newly registered by the new registration process (S2904), it is subsequently determined whether or not a certain time has passed until the player information is newly registered (NO in S2904) ( S2908). Until a predetermined time elapses (NO in S2908), the process waits until new registration processing is performed. If the new registration process is not performed even after a predetermined time has elapsed (YES in S2908), a confirmation screen indicating that new registration cannot be performed is displayed (S2909), and the received password is deleted. (S2902).
