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.

  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 a detailed process transition of the login / logout process performed in the gaming system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  With reference to FIG. 15, a detailed process transition of the logout / logout process in the information processing server (information management apparatus), 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 related to the player can be input if necessary, and information when information related to the player is not input. A player authentication process (login process) is performed using the terminal ID of the terminal.

  When the player operates the information terminal and the login operation instruction operation is performed with the use start screen displayed, the information terminal makes a login processing request (authentication request) to the information processing server ( S1501).

  In the information processing server for which the login processing request is made from the information terminal, the player information managed by the information processing server is specified based on the information about the player such as the terminal ID related to the information terminal included in the login processing request. Then, the player information is read, and code information or a password including the read player information is created (S1502). If the player information is not managed by the information processing server, a response to that effect is sent, and as an example, a screen that prompts the player to register information about the player is displayed.

  When the code information or password is created, the information processing server transmits the code information or password to the information terminal that requested the login process (S1503).

  Accordingly, when the information terminal receives the code information or password response from the information processing server in response to the login processing request from the information processing server, the information terminal displays the received code information or password on the display of the information terminal (S1504). This code information or password is stored in the storage area of the information terminal. The code information or password stored in the storage area in this way can be read out by the player's operation.

  Subsequently, when the code information or password including the player information is displayed on the information terminal, or when the stored code information or password is read and displayed on the information terminal, the player operates the gaming machine. The login process is performed by performing an operation of inputting the code information or the password to the gaming machine using an imaging unit such as a button or a camera (S1505).

  As a result, in the gaming machine, the player information included in the code information or the password is designated, and the game by the player indicated by the player information is performed in the gaming machine.

  After this log-in process is performed, the gaming machine records the history information about the game performed by the player's operation as “game history information” (hereinafter referred to as “the game history information”). Go (S1506). If a predetermined performance execution condition is established during this game, a mission effect is performed (S1507), and the game of this effect is also recorded as “game history information”.

  The mission at this time is information of a specific game event that is required to be generated in a game among information of a specific effect requested to be performed as an effect in a game or a game event that can be generated by a game, By performing the specific effect or the specific game event, value information as will be described later is given.

  Then, when ending the game, a logout process is performed using the player information stored in the gaming machine (S1508). This logout process cancels the designation of the player information specified in the login process. When the logout process is performed, the gaming machine cancels the game history information and designation recorded so far. In addition to the player information, code information including “player level”, “achieved mission information”, and “remaining value amount” is created and displayed on the display of the gaming machine (S1509).

  Then, the player operates the information terminal to display the game use end screen on the display of the gaming machine, and when the code information or the password is input to the game use end screen (S1510), the information terminal The input code information or password is transmitted to the information processing server (S1511).

  In the information processing server that has received the code information or password from the information terminal, the player information and the game history information included in the code information or password are newly added to the game history information managed by the information processing server and registered. (S1512).

  FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a detailed configuration of the information control unit constituting the gaming machine in the embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 16, the information control unit 200 includes a reception control unit 201, an information processing control unit 202, a storage unit 203, a login state management unit 204, a mission change processing unit 205, an effect control unit 206, a code information generation unit 207, and a privilege setting. A unit 208 and a mission development management unit 209 are provided.

  The reception control unit 201 receives game information related to the game of the lottery process for jackpot (privilege) from the main control board 110 constituting the gaming machine shown in FIG. 4, and sends the game information to the information processing control unit 202. 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, a state in which the reception control unit 201 receives an input of information about the player (player information) or an instruction to record game history information from the effect button detection switch 35a shown in FIG. In the login state, the reception control unit 201 sends the player information to the information processing control unit 202.

  The information processing control unit 202 notifies the login state management unit 204 that the recording instruction has been performed, stores the received player information in the storage unit 203, and manages the login state from the login state management unit 204. When the response is made, the effect control unit 206 is notified that the login state has been entered.

  This player information includes at least the “player level” information and “mission achievement information” of the player, and is further managed as “mission change instruction” and information for the player by the information processing server. “Residual value information” is included.

  When the login state management unit 204 receives a notification from the information processing control unit 202 that a recording instruction has been issued, the login state management unit 204 sets and manages the login state. In this way, when the login state management unit 204 is in a state where it is managed to be in the login state, the information processing control unit 202 that has received the game information via the reception control unit 201 is directed to the effect control unit 206. The effect control process is instructed, and the effect control unit 206 instructs to store game history information based on the effect control process, and further notifies the mission development management unit 209.

  The mission development management unit 209 identifies a mission based on “player level”, “mission achievement information”, “mission change instruction”, and “remaining value information” included in the player information, Deploy and manage in a state where the mission is a mission to judge whether it is achieved or not.

  The mission at this time is a designated effect designated in the game information, and it is determined that the designated effect has been achieved by executing the designated effect.

  Further, the effect control unit 206 stores the game content in the game information received after the login state management unit 204 manages the login state in the storage unit 203 as game history information.

  In a state where a game based on game information is being performed in the effect control unit 206, a change instruction operation for changing at least a part of the deployed mission is performed by the player operating the effect button or the like. Alternatively, when a mission change is instructed in the login process, the mission change processing unit 205 stores “player level”, “mission achievement information”, “mission change instruction”, “remaining value” stored in the storage unit 203. The mission is changed based on the “quantity information”.

  In this mission change process, an achievement specified as “mission achievement information” among the missions specified based on the “player level” because the mission change instruction was given in the “mission change instruction”. Change missions other than completed missions to other missions based on the “residual value information”.

  The mission change processing unit 205 reads out the “mission designation table” as shown in FIG. 17 stored in the storage unit 203 and sets at least one mission among the missions designated in this “mission designation table” to the other missions. Change to mission.

  FIG. 17A is a mission designation table (mission designation table classified by level) showing mission information designated based on the “player level”, and FIG. 17B shows all missions. If the “player level” is designated in the specified mission designation table (all mission designation table), the “player level” is designated by using the mission designation table by level shown in FIG. If not, the all mission designation table shown in FIG. 17B is used.

  17A includes a [player level] item 1801, a [mission ID] item 1802, and a [mission content] item 1803. In the [player level] item 1801, For the indicated player level, a mission ID for identifying the mission assigned in the [mission ID] item 1802 is designated. Details of the mission corresponding to the mission ID shown in the [mission ID] item 1802 are shown in a [mission content] item 1803.

  That is, at least one of the mission IDs indicated by the [mission ID] item 1802 is changed to another mission.

  Also, the entire mission designation table shown in FIG. 17B shows all the missions that the gaming machine has, and is configured to include a [mission ID] item 1804 and a [mission content] item 1805.

  All missions are indicated by the mission ID shown in the [mission ID] item 1804, and the mission content for each mission ID is shown in the [mission content] item 1805.

  That is, at least one of the mission IDs indicated by the [mission ID] item 1804 is changed to another mission.

  FIG. 18 is a mission change correspondence table in which missions that can be changed with respect to the value amount are specified. This mission change correspondence table includes a [change required value amount] item 1901, [designated effect before the change (mission )] Item 1902 and [designated effect (mission) after change] item 1903.

  [Required value for change] item 1901 changes the mission shown in [designated effect before change (mission)] item 1902 to the mission shown in [designated effect after change (mission)] item 1903. It shows the amount of value needed for that.

  In the mission change processing performed in the mission change processing unit 205 shown in FIG. 16, when “remaining value amount information” is input in the login processing and stored in the storage unit 203 shown in FIG. 18 is changed from the mission change correspondence table of FIG. 18 based on the total value amount that is the sum of the amount information ”and the value amount calculated based on the game history information of the game performed after entering the login state by the login process. Identify and change missions.

  The mission change processing unit 205 stores the remaining value amount obtained by subtracting the value amount for the changed mission from the total value amount in the storage unit 203.

  As the specifying process at this time, it is also possible to specify a mission change response that is equal to or less than the total value amount and is associated with the closest value amount.

  When the mission is changed in the mission change processing unit 205 in this way, the mission after the change is managed by the mission development management unit 209.

  Depending on the game content based on the game information performed in the effect control unit 206, the effect control unit 206 determines whether the mission has been achieved by executing the mission managed by the mission development management unit 209 and achieves one of the missions. If the mission has been changed, the mission that has been accomplished is identified. If the mission is a mission that has been changed by the mission change processing unit 205, the changed mission has been achieved. The storage unit 203 stores that the mission has been achieved.

  An example of achievement mission information stored in the storage unit 203 at this time is shown in FIG.

  The achieved mission information shown in FIG. 19 includes an “achieved mission ID” item 2001 and an “change mission presence / absence” item 2002. The [achieved mission ID] item 2001 indicates identification information of the mission that has been achieved, and the [change mission presence / absence] item 2002 is a mission in which the mission ID of the mission ID indicated in the [achieved mission ID] item 2001 is changed. Indicates whether or not.

  The example shown in FIG. 19 shows a state in which two missions (missions identified by mission IDs “ms — 002” and “ms — 001”) are achieved, and the missions identified by mission ID “ms — 010” are , Because “1 (changed)” is set in the “change mission presence / absence” item 2002, this indicates the changed mission ID (“ms_001”) changed from “ms_010” based on FIG. ing.

  The relationship between the mission with the mission ID “ms_010” and the mission with the mission ID “ms_001” at this time is more easily achieved by the mission with the mission ID “ms_001” than the mission with the mission ID “ms_010”. Although it is desirable, it is good also considering difficulty as difficulty.

  The difficulty level achieved at this time is higher when the mission before the change and the mission after the change are the difference in the number of performance executions in the same production. If the mission before the change and the mission after the change are different effects, the information determines the difficulty according to the previously specified performance probability and performance conditions.

  In addition, the mission after the change can include the mission before the change. That is, even when the mission is changed, it is possible to determine that the mission after the change has been performed when the mission before the change included in the mission after the change is performed.

  In the state in which the mission information achieved in the storage unit 203 is stored in this way, the effect control unit 206 has achieved the mission designated for each predetermined unit (for example, missions for the player level, all missions). When it is determined that all missions in a predetermined unit have been achieved, the privilege setting unit 208 is instructed to grant a privilege in the accomplished mission.

  In the privilege setting unit 208, it is determined whether or not a mission that has been changed is included in the completed mission, and it is determined that all missions in a predetermined unit have been achieved by achieving the changed mission. The privilege different from the case where it is determined that all missions in a predetermined unit are achieved without changing the mission is set.

  The privilege in the former and the privilege in the latter are preferably privilege information in which the latter is more useful than the former, and the privilege quantity, the privilege size, and the privilege quality (quality) are superior.

  When the privilege is set in this way, the set privilege information is stored in the storage unit 203.

  When the information processing control unit 202 receives a game end instruction via the reception control unit 201, the information processing control unit 202 instructs the login state management unit 204 to cancel the login state, and the login state management. The unit 204 manages in a state where the login state is released.

  Further, the information processing control unit 202 instructs the code information generation unit 207 to generate code information including a two-dimensional code and a character code.

  In the code information generation unit 207, in addition to the player information and game history information stored in the storage unit 203, privilege information and residual value information are read, and code information including these pieces of information is generated.

  Then, the code information generation unit 207 sends the code information to the image control board 150 shown in FIG. 4, and the image control board 150 displays the code information on the liquid crystal display device 31 also shown in FIG.

  The code information displayed in this way is read by an information terminal as shown in FIG. 15, and the information terminal is registered in the information processing server by communicating with the information processing server.

  At this time, in the information processing server, information included in the code information for each player (for example, in addition to game history information, privilege information and value information) is registered. The amount of value (points) registered in this way can be used, for example, to acquire digital content that a player uses on an information terminal or the like. In addition, value information (points) can also be used to acquire a right to use a specific site.

  FIG. 20 is an example of a flowchart showing a flow of processing in a gaming machine performed by applying the gaming machine and the gaming system in the embodiment of the present invention.

  The process in FIG. 20 is a process in a gaming machine that is in a login state by accepting an instruction to record game history information by the login process shown in the sequence of FIG. 15. In this process, first, the process is accepted in the login process. It is determined whether or not the player information input as an instruction to record the game history information includes the “player level” and “mission achievement information” of the player (S2101).

  If it is determined that “player level” and “mission achievement information” are included (YES in step S2101), a “level-specific mission designation table” in which the mission content is designated for the player level stored in advance. And the mission content for the “player level” included in the player information is specified (S2102).

  On the other hand, if at least one of “player level” and “mission achievement information” is not included (NO in S2101), the “all mission designation table” is read and designated in this mission designation table. All the missions that are present are identified (S2103).

  As described above, when the mission that is the designated effect designated in the game is specified, the specified mission is set in a state of being developed as the designated (imposed) mission (S2104).

  Whether or not a game is performed in a state where the mission is expanded as described above, and a change instruction operation for changing at least a part of the deployed mission is performed by operating an effect button or the like during the game, or It is determined whether or not a mission change is instructed in the login process (S2105).

  If it is determined that the mission change is instructed by this determination process (YES in S2105), the “mission change process” in the process shown in FIG. 21 is performed (S2106). In this “mission change process”, a process of changing a deployed mission to another mission, in particular, a mission that is easy to achieve is performed.

  In this way, after the mission change process is performed or when the mission change instruction is not issued (NO in S2105), whether or not the deployed mission has been achieved as an effect in the game being performed. Is determined (S2107).

  When the deployed mission is achieved (YES in S2107), the accomplished mission is identified (S2108), and whether or not the identified mission is a changed mission changed by “mission change processing”. Is determined (S2109).

  If the achieved mission is a mission after the change (YES in S2109), the fact that the changed mission has been achieved is stored as “achieved mission information” (S2110), and the achieved mission is determined by “mission change processing”. If it is not a changed mission (NO in S2109), the fact that a mission other than the changed mission, ie, a normal mission has been achieved, is stored as “achieved mission information” (S2111).

  In this way, when a mission is achieved, it is determined whether or not all missions designated for each predetermined unit such as a player level and all missions have been achieved (S2112). For example, it is determined whether the mission specified for the player level specified in the “mission specification table” or all the missions specified in the “mission specification table” have been achieved.

  If the “player level” is specified during the login process, it is determined whether the specified mission has been achieved for the player level. If the “player level” is not specified, It may be determined whether all the missions specified in the “mission specification table” have been achieved.

  When it is determined that all the missions for each predetermined unit have been achieved (YES in S2112), when all the missions specified for the “player level” are achieved, the “player level” is raised. It is also possible to perform an effect that designates a mission at the next player level and performs an effect based on the achievement of all the missions.

  If it is determined that all the missions for each predetermined unit have been achieved in this way (YES in S2112), at least one mission among the completed missions has been changed by the “mission change process”. Is determined (S2113).

  If the changed mission is included (YES in S2113), the first privilege is granted (S2114). If the changed mission is not included (NO in S2113), the second privilege is different from the first privilege. Is given (S2115). The first privilege and the second privilege at this time are different privilege contents. Preferably, the second privilege is more beneficial to the player than the first privilege, and the privilege amount, the privilege size, Contents with superior privilege quality (quality) are given.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the game has been terminated when the game termination condition is satisfied or the game termination operation is performed (S2116). This determination process is performed in the determination process (S2107) for determining whether or not an effect based on the deployed mission has been performed, when it is not determined that the deployed mission has been performed (NO in S2107), or depending on the mission that has been achieved. In the process of determining whether or not all of the missions have been achieved (S2112), even if it is not determined that all the missions of the predetermined unit have been achieved (NO in S2112), this process is performed subsequently.

  When it is determined that the game has ended (S2116: YES) by the determination process (S2116) regarding whether or not the game has ended, the processing in this flowchart ends, but the processing in the game machine in the sequence shown in FIG. Processing for generating and displaying code information including “player level”, “achieved mission information” and “remaining value amount” calculated by the flowchart shown in FIG. 22 is performed.

  Further, when it is not determined that the game has ended by the determination process (S2116) regarding whether or not the game has ended (NO in S2116), the process after the determination process on whether or not an effect based on the deployed mission has been performed is performed.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing a detailed flow of the “mission change process” shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 21, when a mission change instruction operation is performed in a state where a game is being performed, the process is started when it is determined that the mission change instruction is made during the login process, and is performed after the login process. The game history information (second game history information) in the game is read (S2201). Note that the game history information of the game played by the player until the login state included in the player information input during the login process is referred to as “first game history information”.

  When the second game history information is read, the value amount (for example, the number of points) for the second game history information is measured (S2202).

  Subsequently, when the login process is performed, it is determined whether information on the residual value amount managed as information for the player in the information processing server is input (S2203), and the residual value amount is input In (S2203: YES), the total value amount is calculated by adding the remaining value amount to the value amount weighed based on the second game history information by the weighing process (S2204).

  On the other hand, if the remaining value information is not input (NO in S2203), the “first game history information” managed as information for the player by the information processing server at the time of the login process is subsequently performed. It is determined whether or not an input has been made (S2209).

  When the remaining value amount is not input, but “first game history information” is input (YES in S2209), the “first game history information” is not used for measuring the value amount. The amount of value (number of points) for “first game history information” is measured (S2210). Then, a total value amount obtained by adding the value amount corresponding to the “first game history information” to the value amount corresponding to the “second game history information” after the login is calculated (S2211).

  When the total value is calculated in this way, the total value is used, or when the remaining value and the “first game history information” are not input (NO in S2209), the “second game” Using the value amount for “history information”, the “designated effect change correspondence table” designating the mission contents that can be changed according to the value amount is read (S2205), and based on the “designated effect change correspondence table”, The change contents of the designated effect corresponding to the measured value amount are specified (S2206).

  In addition to specifying the change content of the mission with the change content associated with the value amount (total value amount or value amount for the “second game history information” after login) as the specific processing of the change content at that time, You may make it specify the change content of a mission with one or some change content using a part of the value amount.

  In this way, when the change contents of the mission are specified, the mission is changed based on the change contents (S2207). Specifically, a process of rewriting the deployed mission with the changed mission indicated by the mission content is performed.

  Then, the “change state recording process” for recording the change state is performed (S2208). The detailed flow of this “change status recording process” is shown in FIG. 22 and will be described below.

  FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing a detailed flow of the change state recording process shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 22, the value amount based on the contents of the mission change shown in FIG. 21 is specified (S2301), and the counted value amount (total value amount or value amount for “second game history information” after login) is determined. The “remaining value amount” obtained by subtracting the specified value amount is calculated (S2302).

  Then, the calculated residual value amount is stored (S2303).

  The embodiment described above is one embodiment of the present invention, and is not limited to these examples, and can be implemented with appropriate modifications within a range not changing the gist thereof.
