A winning ball device, a passing gate, a normal symbol display device, a ball receiving member that forms a general winning opening, a windmill that changes the flow direction and speed of the game ball, and many obstacle nails are provided.

  At predetermined positions on the front surface of the housing in the pachinko gaming machine 1A, left speaker 42L and right speaker 42R included in the speaker 42, and game effect lamps 43L, 43U and 43R included in the light emitting member 43 for presentation are provided. An effect model included in the effect movable member 44 may be provided at a predetermined position inside or outside the game area.

  On the front surface of the housing of the pachinko gaming machine 1A, an upper plate forming member and a lower plate forming member are provided below the game area. The upper plate forming member is a tray (medium storage unit) in which a game ball paid out as a prize ball or a game ball rented out by a predetermined ball lending machine is stored (stored) so as to be supplied to a ball hitting device. Form an upper dish. The lower plate forming member forms a lower plate in which surplus balls overflowing from the upper plate are stored (stored) so as to be discharged to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1A.

  At a predetermined position on the upper surface of the upper plate forming member, as an example of the effect operation member 45, an operation button 45A that allows a player to perform a predetermined operation (for example, a pressing operation) is provided. The operation button 45A may be a jog dial that can be pressed and rotated. The operation button 45A is not limited to a button that can be pressed or rotated, and may be a button that can be touched or pressed like a touch panel, for example. Further, instead of the operation button 45A, a sensor that can detect a predetermined operation action by the player, such as an infrared sensor, a CCD sensor, or a CMOS sensor, may be used. That is, the production operation member 45 only needs to be configured to be able to detect a predetermined operation action by the player mechanically, electrically, or electromagnetically.

  Instead of the operation button 45A or together with the operation button 45A, for example, in the lower plate forming member, the player grips and tilts to a predetermined position on the front side of the upper surface of the lower plate body (for example, the center position of the lower plate). An operable stick controller may be attached. The stick controller includes an operation rod that is held by the player, and a trigger button is provided at a predetermined position of the operation rod (for example, a position where the index finger of the operator is placed when the player holds the operation rod). . The trigger button allows a predetermined instruction operation by a push-pull operation with a predetermined operation finger (for example, an index finger) in a state where the player holds the operation stick of the stick controller with an operation hand (for example, the left hand). It suffices to be configured. A trigger sensor that detects a predetermined instruction operation such as a push / pull operation on the trigger button may be incorporated in the operation rod. A tilt direction sensor unit for detecting a tilting operation with respect to the operating rod may be provided inside the body of the lower plate in the lower part of the stick controller. For example, the tilt direction sensor unit includes two transmissive photosensors (parallel sensor pairs) arranged in parallel to the board surface of the game board on the left side of the center position of the operation rod when viewed from the player's side facing the pachinko gaming machine 1A. ) And two transmissive photosensors (vertical sensor pairs) that are arranged on the right side of the center of the operating rod when viewed from the player side and perpendicular to the surface of the game board. As long as it is configured. In addition, the attachment position of the stick controller in the lower plate is not limited to the central portion of the lower plate, and may be a position close to either the left or right.

  In addition, an accommodation member (for example, a cradle) capable of holding the terminal device 500 may be provided at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the upper plate forming member. For example, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a wired communication function, a predetermined connector is established so that a wired connection between the pachinko gaming machine 1A and the terminal device 500 is established by holding the terminal device 500 in the housing member. Etc. may be arranged. Further, for example, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 has a wireless communication function, the terminal device 500 is held by the housing member, so that the wireless communication between the pachinko gaming machine 1A and the terminal device 500 is smoothly performed. It is only necessary to set the arrangement of the housing member, the output range of the radio signal, and the like.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1A shown in FIG. 3, a predetermined game using a game ball as a game medium is performed, and a predetermined game value can be given based on the game result. For example, based on the player operating a hitting operation handle (operation knob) installed on the lower right side of the front surface of the pachinko gaming machine 1A by a player (for example, a rotating operation), a predetermined ball hitting device has a launch A game ball as a game medium is launched toward the game area by a motor or the like. When a game ball that has flowed down the game area passes (enters) a start winning opening provided at a predetermined position in the game area, the passing of the game ball (start winning) is detected by a start opening switch included in various switches 12. A predetermined detection signal (start winning prize signal) is transmitted to the game control microcomputer 22 of the game control board 21. Thus, based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the start winning opening, a start condition (execution condition) for executing variable display of symbols (special symbols) by the symbol display device 11 is established. Note that, although the variable display start condition is satisfied, the variable display is started, for example, when the variable display based on the previously established start condition is executed, or when the gaming state is controlled to the big hit gaming state, etc. If it cannot be performed, execution of variable display is suspended until a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “4” or the like) is reached. When game balls pass through the start winning opening, a predetermined number (for example, three or four) of game balls are paid out as prize balls.

  When the variable display start condition is satisfied, a part or all of the game random numbers updated by a random number circuit or the like are extracted. The game random numbers extracted at this time are used to determine the variable display result determination random number used to determine the variable display result, and whether to control the gaming state to a predetermined special gaming state. It is only necessary to include a random number value for determining a gaming state used, a random value for determining a variation pattern used for determining a variation pattern of a symbol, and the like.

  When the start condition for starting variable display is satisfied after the game ball passes through the start winning opening and the start condition for variable display is satisfied, the variable display result is set as a “big hit” as a predetermined specific display result. Is determined (predetermined) before the variable display result is derived and displayed. Then, the variation pattern is determined at a predetermined ratio based on the determination of the variable display result, and the effect control command for designating the variable display result and the variation pattern is transmitted from the game control microcomputer 22 of the game control board 21 to the effect control. It is transmitted to the microcomputer 32 for effect control of the substrate 31.

  Based on the determination of the variable display result and the variation pattern, the variable display of the special symbol by the symbol display device 11 is started. For example, when a predetermined variable display time corresponding to the variation pattern has elapsed, a fixed symbol that is a variable display result is stopped (displayed). Corresponding to the variable display of the special symbol by the symbol display device 11, the image display device 41 may perform variable display of a decorative symbol (effect symbol) different from the special symbol.

  As an example, the image display device 41 is provided with a plurality of decorative symbol display areas such as “left”, “middle”, and “right”, corresponding to the start of variable display of special symbols by the symbol display device 11. Then, variable display of decorative symbols is started. In the period from the start of variable display of decorative symbols to the end of variable display due to the stop display of the fixed decorative symbols in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas, The variable display state may be “reach”. Here, the decorative display variable display state is a decoration that has not been stopped and displayed yet when the decorative pattern that is stopped and displayed in any of the decorative design display areas constitutes a part of a predetermined jackpot combination. With respect to symbols (also referred to as “reach variation symbols”), “reach” is achieved by continuing variation, or by changing all or part of the decorative symbols synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. " Specifically, a part of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas (for example, “left” and “right” decorative symbol display areas) constitutes a predetermined jackpot combination. Decorative symbols are displayed in the remaining decorative symbol display area (for example, the “decorative” decorative symbol display area) that has not yet been stopped when decorative symbols (for example, decorative symbols indicating “7” alphanumeric characters) are stopped. Or fluctuating synchronously, with all or part of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. As a result, the variable display state of the decorative symbol becomes “reach”.

  Also, in response to the variable display state of the decorative symbol being “reach”, the variation speed of the decorative symbol is reduced, or a character image (a person or the like different from the decorative symbol is displayed in the display area of the image display device 41). The design of the decorative image can be changed by displaying a simulated image), changing the display mode of the background image, playing back a moving image different from the decorative design, or changing the variation of the decorative design. There is a case where an effect operation different from that before the display state becomes “reach” is executed. Such effect operations such as the display of the character image, the change of the display mode of the background image, the playback display of the moving image, and the change of the variation pattern of the decorative pattern are referred to as reach effect display (or simply “reach effect”). In the reach effect, not only the display operation in the image display device 41 but also the sound output operation by the speaker 42, the lighting operation (flashing operation) in the effect light emitting member 43, the operation of the effect movable member 44, etc. An operation mode different from that before the symbol variable display state becomes “reach” may be included.

  As an effect operation in the reach effect, a plurality of types of effect patterns (also referred to as “reach patterns”) having different operation modes (reach modes) may be prepared in advance. Each reach mode has a different possibility of “big hit” (also referred to as “reliability” or “big hit reliability”). That is, it is possible to vary the possibility that the variable display result will be a “hit” depending on which of the multiple types of reach effects is executed. As an example, in this embodiment, reach modes such as normal reach, super reach A to super reach D are preset. And, when the reach form of super reach such as super reach A to super reach D appears, there is a possibility that the variable display result will be “big hit” compared to the case where the reach form of normal reach appears (big hit reliability) Becomes higher. In addition, the case where the decorative display variable display state does not become “reach” is also referred to as “non-reach”, and the possibility that the variable display result will be “big hit” unless it is a special combination such as a predetermined chance eye. Absent.

  When a fixed symbol (fixed special symbol) that is a variable symbol display result is derived and displayed on the symbol display device 11, a fixed symbol (fixed symbol symbol) that is a variable symbol display result is derived and displayed on the image display device 41. Is done. When a predetermined jackpot symbol is derived and displayed as a variable symbol display result of the special symbol, the variable display result becomes “big jackpot” (specific display result), which is controlled to a jackpot gaming state as a specific gaming state advantageous to the player. The That is, whether or not the game state is controlled to the big hit gaming state corresponds to whether or not the variable display result is “big hit”, and is determined (predetermined) before the variable display result is derived and displayed.

  In the big hit gaming state, the solenoid for opening / closing the big winning opening included in the various actuators 13 is driven, and the big winning opening provided at a predetermined position in the gaming area is opened (first state). Then, in a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) or a period until a predetermined number (for example, 9) of game balls enter the big prize opening and a winning ball is generated, the big winning opening is opened in an advantageous state for the player. A round in the (first state) is executed. During periods other than the execution period of such rounds, the special winning opening is set in a closed state (second state) that is disadvantageous to the player. When a game ball enters the big winning opening, a winning ball is detected by a count switch included in the various switches 12, and a predetermined number (for example, 15) of gaming balls are paid out as a winning ball for each detection. The round in the big hit gaming state is repeatedly executed until a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “15”) is reached. Therefore, in the big hit gaming state, the player can acquire a large number of prize balls very easily, and the gaming state is advantageous to the player. Note that the pachinko gaming machine 1A may be one that directly pays out game balls to be prize balls, or may be given a score corresponding to the number of game balls to be prize balls.

  After the big hit gaming state is ended, the probability that the variable display result is “big hit” (big hit probability) may be controlled to a probability change state where the probability is higher than the normal state. The probability change state is controlled so as to continue until a predetermined probability change end condition such as a predetermined number of variable displays is executed or the next big hit gaming state is started. In addition, after the big hit gaming state is ended, the average variable display time may be controlled to a short state when it becomes shorter than the normal state. The short-time state is controlled to continue until one of the short-time end conditions is established first, among the fact that a predetermined number of variable displays have been executed and the next big hit gaming state has been started. . In the certain change state and the short time state, the advantageous opening control that makes it easier for the game ball to pass through the start winning opening than in the normal state may be performed. By controlling to such a probable change state and a short time state, the time required until the next variable display result becomes a “big hit” is shortened, and a special game state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal state is obtained.

  The game balls used as game media in such a pachinko gaming machine 1A and the recorded information of scores given in correspondence with the number of such balls have valuable values that can be exchanged for special prizes or general prizes according to the quantity. I just need it. Alternatively, the game ball and score recording information may not be exchanged for special prizes or general prizes, but may have valuable value that can be used for another game in the pachinko gaming machine 1A.

  In addition, the game value that can be given in the pachinko gaming machine 1A is not limited to paying out a game ball as a prize ball or giving a score. For example, the game value can be controlled to a big hit game state or a special game state such as a probable change state. Control, the maximum number of rounds that can be executed in the big hit gaming state becomes the first round number (for example, “15”) more than the second round number (for example, “2”), can be executed in a short time state The upper limit number of variable display becomes a first number (for example, “100”) larger than the second number (for example, “50”), and the big hit probability in the probability variation state is higher than the second probability (for example, 1/50). The first probability (for example, 1/20), the number of consecutive chunks, which is the number of times of repeated control to the big hit gaming state without being controlled to the normal state, is greater than the second consecutive number of chunks (for example, “5”) A series Chang number (e.g. "10") and such part or all of becoming, may include be a more favorable game situation for the player.

  The pachinko gaming machine 1A may not include the symbol display device 11 as shown in FIG. As an example, based on the detection of a game ball that has passed (entered) a start winning opening provided in the game area, the variable winning device provided in the game area is changed from the closed state (second state) to the open state ( When the game ball that has entered the variable winning device enters the specific area (V winning opening) of the plurality of areas, it is controlled to a big hit gaming state that is advantageous to the player. It may be a thing.

  When the gaming machine 1 is the slot machine 1B, a predetermined game using a medal as a game medium is performed, and a predetermined game value can be given based on the game result. Note that the present invention is not limited to using medals as game media, and a predetermined game may be executed using points (credits or the like) corresponding to the number of medals. For example, the number of bets (for example, “1” or “1” or “1” or “1” or “1”) according to the number of medals inserted from a predetermined insertion slot provided at a predetermined position on the front surface of the housing of the slot machine 1B or credits accumulated as data. 3 ") is set. Thereafter, the “left”, “middle”, “right” included in the symbol display device 11 based on the fact that the start switch included in the various switches 12 has detected a predetermined operation (for example, a pressing operation) on the start lever by the player. ”Starts to rotate, and symbol variable display (variable display game) is started.

  When the operation of the start lever is detected and variable display is started, part or all of the game random numbers updated by a random number circuit or the like are extracted. The game random numbers extracted at this time may include an internal lottery random number value used for determining whether or not a predetermined winning combination is allowed. An internal lottery is performed by referring to a predetermined winning determination table based on the random number value for internal lottery extracted in this way, the current game state, and the like. When the internal lottery is won, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in a predetermined area of the RAM in the game control microcomputer 22.

  The types of roles can be broadly divided into small roles with medals and points, replaying players who can start the next game without having to set the number of bets, and special roles with game state transitions. The winning combination is determined according to the gaming state. Of the winning of each role, the winning of the small role and the replaying role is valid only in the game for which the winning is determined, but the winning of the special role has the roles allowed to be generated by the internal lottery. It is effective until. In other words, once a special winning combination is allowed, even if the special winning combination cannot be generated in each game, the winning is carried over to the next game. However, for example, in a game (bonus game) in a predetermined gaming state such as a regular bonus, the winning of the special role may not be carried over to the next game.

  After the variable display of the symbols by the rotating operation of each reel is started, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” stop switches included in the various switches 12 detect predetermined operations (for example, push-in operations) by the player. Based on this, the rotation of the corresponding reel is stopped, and the symbol is stopped and displayed on the winning line. In the symbol display device 11 of the slot machine 1B, for example, a plurality of winning lines such as 5 (3 in the upper middle and lower and 2 in the diagonal) or 4 (2 in the upper middle and 2 on the diagonal) are determined in advance. A predetermined number of winning lines are activated according to the setting of the bet amount. Then, when all the reels stop rotating, one game is completed, and a winning combination can be generated by a combination of symbols stopped on any of the activated winning lines.

  The gaming state in the slot machine 1B includes, for example, a regular bonus, a big bonus, and a normal gaming state. In the regular bonus game state, for example, small roles such as JAC, cherry, watermelon, and bell are defined as winning combinations and are subject to lottery in the internal lottery. In the big bonus, special small roles such as cherries, watermelons and bells, and special bonuses such as regular bonus (or JACIN) are defined as winning roles in predetermined small role games. It is a lottery target in the internal lottery. In the normal gaming state, for example, small roles such as cherry, watermelon and bell, replay roles such as replay, special roles such as big bonus, regular bonus, etc. are predetermined as winning roles, It is a lottery target for lottery.

  When a special role winning that becomes a big bonus occurs in the normal gaming state, the gaming state shifts to the big bonus. With the big bonus, a predetermined game called a small role game can be played. The big bonus is ended when the total number of medals given to the player in the big bonus becomes equal to or more than a prescribed number (for example, 360 at the maximum). When a special role winning that becomes a regular bonus occurs in a small role game in a normal gaming state or a big bonus, the gaming state shifts to a regular bonus. The regular bonus ends when 12 games have been consumed or when 8 games have been won (any kind of combination can be used), whichever comes first. In the regular bonus in the normal gaming state, the regular bonus may be terminated when the total number of medals given to the player exceeds a specified number. If the total number of medals awarded to the player during the big bonus exceeds the specified number with the regular bonus in the big bonus, the regular bonus is terminated together with the big bonus. In addition, the slot machine 1B may directly give a medal that becomes a prize game medium, or may give a score corresponding to the number of medals that become a prize game medium.

  In the slot machine 1B, when the gaming state shifts to a special gaming state such as a regular bonus or a big bonus, the player can acquire more medals than the normal gaming state, which is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state. It becomes a game state. Note that the special gaming state is not limited to a regular bonus or a big bonus, and it can be expected that the player will win more medals than the normal gaming state, and the gaming state may be more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state. That's fine. As such a gaming state that is more advantageous to the player than the normal gaming state, for example, an operation that satisfies the conditions for deriving notification target winnings that occur on condition that reel deriving conditions (for example, stop order and stop timing) are satisfied By limiting the assist time (AT) for which the procedure is informed and the pull-in range of at least one of the reels, control is performed so that the symbols displayed when the stop switch is operated are easily stopped. A gaming state in which the probability of allowing a challenge time (CT) and a specific winning (for example, a replay winning or a single bonus winning) to be allowed to be derived when a player pushes a combination of winning symbols is increased. (So-called replay time or concentration state) or the like, or a game state that combines these may be used.

  The medal used as a game medium in such a slot machine 1B and the score recording information given in accordance with the number of such media have value that can be exchanged for special prizes or general prizes according to the quantity, for example. Good. Alternatively, these medal and score recording information may not be exchanged for special prizes or general prizes, but may have valuable value that can be used for another game in the slot machine 1B.

  In addition, the gaming value that can be given in the slot machine 1B is not limited to the granting of medals or the giving of points as premium game media, but for example, controlling to a regular bonus, big bonus, or other special gaming state, special gaming This includes an advantageous game situation for the player, such that the upper limit number of variable displays that can be executed in the state is a first number (for example, “50”) that is greater than the second number (for example, “25”). It may be.

  Next, the operation (action) in the present embodiment will be described. First, an example of the control operation when the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko gaming machine 1A will be described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1A, when power supply from a predetermined power supply board is started, the game control microcomputer 22 and the effect control microcomputer 32 are activated and a predetermined initial setting process is executed, which is used for control. Various initial data are set. In the game control microcomputer 22, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU at predetermined time intervals of, for example, 2 ms (milliseconds) by setting a register of a built-in CTC (counter / timer circuit). When the initial setting process and the like are completed, the CPU of the game control microcomputer 22 enters a loop process after permitting an interrupt. When an interrupt request from the CTC is accepted, a timer interrupt process for game control is executed.

  The game control timer interrupt process includes, for example, a game control process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. In the game control process shown in FIG. 6, the CPU of the game control microcomputer 22 first determines whether or not a start win has occurred (step S11). As an example, in step S11, the input state (on / off) of the start winning signal that is a detection signal transmitted from the start port switch included in the various switches 12 is checked. Can be determined.

  If a start winning is generated in step S11 (step S11; Yes), a winning random number is stored (step S12). As an example, in the process of step S12, a random number circuit built in or attached to the game control microcomputer 22, a random counter provided in a predetermined area of the RAM in the game control microcomputer 22, or the game control microcomputer 22 Among random counters configured using an internal register provided separately from the RAM, a gaming random number (random number for determining a variable display result, random number for determining a gaming state, Part or all of the numerical data indicating the random number for determining the variation pattern) is extracted. The random number value extracted at this time may be stored in association with the hold number, for example, in a hold random number storage unit provided in a predetermined area of the RAM in the game control microcomputer 22.

  Subsequent to the processing in step S12, various control commands corresponding to the start winning prize are transmitted (step S13). As an example, in the process of step S <b> 13, it is only necessary to make a setting for transmitting a start winning designation command for notifying the occurrence of a start winning to the effect control board 31. Further, based on the random display result determination random number value and the variation pattern determination random number value extracted by the process of step S12, the variation pattern has a specific variation with a specific reach effect such as super reach A to super reach D. You may make it determine whether it is determined to a pattern. In this case, a setting for transmitting a winning determination result specifying command capable of specifying a determination result as to whether or not a specific variation pattern is determined may be performed.

  In the process of determining whether or not a specific variation pattern is determined, first, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is determined as “big hit” using a random value for determining the variable display result. For example, in a predetermined area of the ROM in the game control microcomputer 22, a variable display result determination table in which a determination value is set for the determination result of whether or not the variable display result is “big hit” is stored in advance. Whether or not the variable display result is determined to be “big hit” by specifying the determination result to which the determination value matching the random value for determining the variable display result extracted by the process of step S12 is assigned. Can be determined. Subsequently, a variation pattern determination table in which different determination values are set for a plurality of types of variation patterns is selected according to the determination result of whether or not the variable display result is determined to be “big hit”. This variation pattern determination table may be stored in advance in a predetermined area of the ROM in the game control microcomputer 22. By referring to the variation pattern determination table thus selected, by specifying the variation pattern to which the determination value that matches the random value for variation pattern extraction extracted by the processing of step S12 is assigned, super reach A to super It can be determined whether or not a specific variation pattern for performing a specific reach effect such as reach D is determined.

  Thus, when a game ball passes through the start winning opening and a start winning occurs, the variation pattern is determined to be a specific variation pattern before the execution of the variable display game corresponding to the start winning is started. It is only necessary to transmit a winning determination result designation command capable of specifying the determination result from the game control board 21 to the effect control board 31.

  If no start prize has been generated in step S11 (step S11; No), or after executing the process of step S13, the game process flag stored in a predetermined area of the RAM in the game control microcomputer 22 is stored. A value is discriminated (step S21), and a process corresponding to the discriminant value is selected and executed from a plurality of processes previously described in the game control computer program.

  For example, when the value of the game process flag is “0”, it is determined whether or not variable symbol display (variable display game) can be started (step S101). As an example, in the process of step S101, it is determined whether or not the number of holds of the variable display game is “0” by checking the stored contents of the random number storage unit for holding. When the number of hold is other than “0”, the variable display can be started because the variable display hold for which the start condition is not yet satisfied is performed after the variable display start condition is satisfied. Is determined. On the other hand, when the hold number is “0”, it is determined that variable display cannot be started.

  When variable display cannot be started in step S101 (step S101; No), the game control process is terminated. On the other hand, when variable display can be started (step S101; Yes), a fixed symbol derived and displayed as a variable display result is determined (step S102). At this time, the random number for game (random number for variable display result determination, random number for game state determination, random pattern determination for variation pattern) stored at the head (storage area with the minimum hold number) in the random number storage unit for hold Read random number value). The game random number read from the holding random value storage unit may be temporarily stored in a variable display random number buffer or the like provided in a predetermined area of the RAM in the game control microcomputer 22. Then, using a random value for determining the variable display result and the variable display result determination table, it is determined at a predetermined ratio whether or not the variable display result is “big hit”. Here, when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1A is in a probable variation state, the variable display result determination table is determined so that the variable display result is determined as “big hit” at a higher rate than in the normal state or the short time state. It is sufficient that the determination value is set.

  When the variable display result is determined to be “big hit” in the process of step S102, the gaming state after the end of the big hit gaming state is further changed using the random number value for gaming state determination and the gaming state determination table. Decide whether or not to enter the special gaming state. Corresponding to these determination results, a fixed symbol derived and displayed as a variable display result may be determined.

  Following the processing in step S102, an internal flag and the like are set (step S103). As an example, in the process of step S103, when the variable display result is determined to be “big hit” in the process of step S102, the big hit flag provided in a predetermined area of the RAM in the game control microcomputer 22 is turned on. set. Further, when it is determined that the gaming state after the end of the big hit gaming state is to be a probability variation state, a probability variation confirmation flag provided in a predetermined area of the RAM in the game control microcomputer 22 is set to an on state. In addition, it may be stored in such a way that it can be specified that the state is likely to change. Thereafter, the value of the game process flag is updated to “1” (step S104), and the game control process process is terminated.

  When the value of the game process flag is “1”, a variation pattern or the like is determined (step S111). FIG. 7 shows a setting example of a variation pattern used in the pachinko gaming machine 1A. Each variation pattern indicates that the required time (variable display time) from the start of variable display to the display of a fixed symbol that is a variable display result can be specified and the outline of the production mode can be specified. In this embodiment, among the cases where the variable display result is “losing”, the variable display mode of the decorative symbols variably displayed on the image display device 41 is “non-reach” and “reach”. A plurality of variation patterns are prepared in advance corresponding to each case and when the variable display result is “big hit”.

  In the process of step S111, the variation pattern to be used is determined at a predetermined rate using the variation pattern determination random value temporarily stored in the variable display random number buffer and the variation pattern determination table. At this time, the variable display result may become “big hit” corresponding to each fluctuation pattern by changing the determination ratio of each fluctuation pattern depending on whether or not the variable display result is decided as “big hit” (Big hit reliability) can be varied.

  Further, in the process of step S111, it may be determined whether or not the variable display state of the decorative symbol is set to “reach” by determining a variation pattern when the variable display result is determined to be “losing”. . Alternatively, prior to determining the variation pattern, it may be determined whether or not the variable display state of the decorative symbol is set to “reach” by using the reach determination random number value and the reach determination table. That is, in the process of step S111, it is only necessary to determine the variation pattern as one of a plurality of types based on the variable display result or the determination result of reach.

  Subsequent to the process of step S111, various control commands corresponding to the start of variable display are transmitted (step S112). As an example, in the process of step S112, as a variable display start command for specifying the start of variable display, a variable display result notification command for notifying a variable display result, a change pattern specifying command for specifying a change pattern, or the like is transmitted. It is only necessary to be set. Further, in response to the decrease in the hold count due to the start of variable display, a setting for transmitting a hold count notification command for notifying the hold count after the decrease may be performed.

  The variable display time is set in response to the change pattern being determined by the process of step S112. Moreover, the setting for starting the variable display of the symbol by the symbol display device 11 may be performed. As an example, variable display of symbols may be started by transmitting a predetermined drive signal to the symbol display device 11. Thereafter, the value of the game process flag is updated to “2” (step S113), and the game control process process is terminated.

  When the value of the game process flag is “2”, it is determined whether or not the variable display time has elapsed (step S121). And when variable display time has not passed (step S121; No), after performing variable display control of the symbol by the symbol display apparatus 11 (step S122), game control process processing is complete | finished. On the other hand, when the variable display time has elapsed (step S121; Yes), the variable display of the symbol by the symbol display device 11 is stopped, and the control for deriving and displaying the fixed symbol is performed (step S123).

  Subsequent to the processing in step S123, various control commands corresponding to the end of variable display are transmitted (step S124). As an example, in the process of step S124, a variable display end command for instructing the end (stop) of variable display or a big hit start specifying command (fanfare command for specifying the start of a big hit gaming state when the variable display result is “big hit”. ) And the like may be set for transmission.

  After the process of step S124 is executed, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is “big hit” (step S125). If the variable display result is “big hit” (step S125; Yes), the value of the game process flag is updated to “3” (step S126), and the game control process is terminated. On the other hand, when the variable display result is not “big hit” but “losing” (step S125; No), the game process flag is cleared and the value is initialized to “0” (step S125). S127), the game control process is terminated. When the process of step S127 is executed, it is determined whether or not the probability variation state or the time saving state is to be ended, and when it is determined that the predetermined condition is to be ended, these gaming states are ended. Settings for controlling to a normal state may be performed.

  When the value of the game process flag is “3”, it is determined whether or not to end the big hit gaming state depending on whether or not a predetermined big hit end condition is satisfied (step S131). The jackpot end condition may be, for example, that all rounds executed in the jackpot gaming state have ended. When the big hit game state is not ended (step S131; No), the game operation control at the time of the big hit is performed (step 132), and the game control process is ended. On the other hand, when ending the big hit gaming state (step S131; Yes), the setting for controlling the gaming state after the big hit ending is performed (step S133). As an example, in the process of step S133, it is determined whether or not the probability variation confirmation flag is on. If it is on, the probability variation flag provided in a predetermined area of the RAM in the game control microcomputer 22 is turned on. Set to. Thus, when it is determined that the variable display result is “big hit”, and it is decided that the gaming state after the end of the big hit gaming state is to be a probable change state, a game corresponding to this decision result is made. It is possible to control the state to a certain change state. Even in the case of controlling to the short time state, a setting corresponding to this may be performed. Thereafter, the game process flag is cleared and its value is initialized to “0” (step S134), and the game control process is terminated.

  In the production control microcomputer 32 of the pachinko gaming machine 1A, a timer interrupt is generated every predetermined time, for example, 4 ms (milliseconds) after the initial setting process and the like are completed. The CPU of the effect control microcomputer 32 executes effect control timer interrupt processing in response to the occurrence of the timer interrupt. The CPU of the effect control microcomputer 32 executes an interrupt process for command reception in addition to the timer interrupt process for effect control, and transmits it from the game control microcomputer 22 of the game control board 21 or the like. It is only necessary that the production control command to be received can be received.

  The timer control process for effect control includes an effect control process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 8, the CPU of the effect control microcomputer 32 first determines whether or not there is a received command (step S51). When there is a reception command (step S51; Yes), various settings and control predetermined according to the reception command are performed. As an example of the control in step S51, when the received command is a start winning designation command, control for updating the display in the start winning memory display area provided in the image display device 41 is performed, and a new variable display is suspended. This is notified so that the player can recognize. At this time, when it is specified that a specific variation pattern is determined by the winning determination result specifying command, the display in the start winning memory display area is updated with a display mode different from the case where there is no such specification. do it.

  If there is no received command in step S51 (step S51; No), or after executing the process of step S52, the value of the effect process flag stored in a predetermined area of the RAM in the effect control microcomputer 32 is determined. (Step S61), a process corresponding to the discriminant value is selected and executed from a plurality of processes described in advance in the computer program for effect control.

  For example, when the value of the effect process flag is “0”, it is determined whether or not a predetermined command (variable display start command) for specifying the start of variable display has been received (step S201). If the start of variable display is designated (step S201; Yes), the value of the production process flag is updated to “1” (step S202), and the production control process is terminated. On the other hand, when the start of variable display is not instructed (step S201; No), a predetermined effect setting process is executed (step S203), and the effect control process is terminated. In the setting process for production, a process for providing information for registering a player who operates the terminal device 500 in the gaming system 100 and a game history by the player of the gaming machine 1 can be specified. Including processing for.

  When the value of the effect process flag is “1”, an effect control pattern or the like is determined (step S211). The effect control pattern is composed of pattern data for controlling the effect operation using the effect electrical parts (effect device). A plurality of types of effect control patterns may be stored in advance in a predetermined area of the ROM in the effect control microcomputer 32. The plurality of types of effect control patterns only need to include a design change effect control pattern, a big hit effect control pattern, and the like.

  The design change effect control pattern is composed of pattern data indicating the control content of the effect operation during a period from the start of variable display to the stop display of the fixed symbol that is the variable display result. A plurality of symbol variation effect control patterns may be prepared in advance for each variation pattern determined on the game control board 21 side. When decorative display of a decorative symbol is performed in a “left”, “middle”, or “right” decorative symbol display area provided in the image display device 41, the decorative symbol can be variably displayed by the effect control pattern during symbol variation. It is only necessary to specify the control content related to the operation. For example, in the case of variable display of decorative symbols, each of the plurality of symbol variation effect control patterns is a decorative symbol that is displayed using a final decorative symbol that is the final stop symbol or a temporary stop symbol that is temporarily stopped during variable display. It is only necessary to define a time schedule such as the display position and size, the changing direction of the decorative pattern, and the changing speed. The big hit effect control pattern is composed of pattern data indicating the control contents of the presentation operation in a period in which the variable display result is “big hit” and is controlled to the big hit gaming state.

  FIG. 9A shows a configuration example of such various effect control patterns. In the configuration example shown in FIG. 9A, the effect control pattern includes various effect operations such as an effect control process timer determination value, display control data, sound control data, lamp control data, operation detection control data, and an end code. It is composed of process data serving as control data for control, and it is only necessary to set the contents of various effects control, timing control switching timing, and the like in time series.

  The effect control process timer determination value is a value (determination value) to be compared with an effect control process timer value that is a stored value of an effect control process timer provided in a predetermined area such as a RAM in the effect control microcomputer 32. The determination value corresponding to the execution time (effect time) of each effect operation is set in advance. In place of the effect control process timer determination value, for example, a predetermined process is performed as a process for receiving a predetermined effect control command from the game control board 21 or for controlling the effect operation in the CPU of the effect control microcomputer 32. In response to predetermined control content or processing content such as having been executed, data indicating the switching timing of effect control or the like may be set.

  The display control data includes data indicating the display mode of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 41, such as data indicating the variation mode of each decorative pattern during variable display of the decorative pattern. That is, the display control data is data that designates the display operation of the effect image in the display area of the image display device 41. The audio control data includes data indicating an audio output mode from the speaker 42, such as data indicating an output mode of a sound effect or the like that is interlocked with the variable display operation of the decorative symbol during variable display of the decorative symbol. That is, the audio control data is data that specifies an audio output operation from the speaker 42. The lamp control data includes data indicating the lighting operation mode of the electric decoration member such as a game effect lamp and a decoration LED included in the effect light emitting member 43, for example. That is, the lamp control data is data for designating the lighting operation of the electrical decoration member. The operation detection control data includes, for example, data indicating a rendering operation when a predetermined operation on the rendering operation member 45 is detected.

  Note that these control data do not have to be included in all the effect control patterns, but an effect control pattern including a part of the control data according to the contents of the effect operation by each effect control pattern. There may be. Further, in the plural types of process data included in the effect control pattern, the types of control data constituting each process data may be different according to the contents of the effect operation executed at each timing. That is, there may be process data configured to include all of the display control data, sound control data, lamp control data, and operation detection control data, or process data configured to include a part of these. Further, for example, various other control data may be included such as production movable member control data for designating an operation in the production movable member 44 provided inside or outside the game area.

  FIG. 9B shows various effect operation examples that are executed according to the contents of the effect control pattern that becomes the effect control pattern at the time of symbol variation. The CPU of the production control microcomputer 32 determines the control content of the production operation according to various control data included in the production control pattern. For example, when the effect control process timer value matches one of the effect control process timer determination values, the decorative design is displayed in a manner specified by the display control data associated with the effect control process timer determination value, and the character Control is performed to display an effect image such as an image or a background image in the display area of the image display device 41. In addition, control is performed to output sound from the speaker 42 in a manner specified by the sound control data, and control is performed to blink the effect light emitting member 43 such as a game effect lamp in a manner specified by the lamp control data. When the predetermined operation designated by the detection control data is detected, control for changing the rendering operation is performed. Note that dummy data (data not specifying control) may be set as data corresponding to a production component that does not become a control target even though it corresponds to the production control process timer determination value.

  In the process of step S211 shown in FIG. 8, the variation pattern and variable display result indicated by the variable display start command (variable display result notification command, variation pattern designation command, etc.) transmitted from the game control board 21, and further the game history Different production control patterns are selected according to the presence / absence of the setting, and are determined as the usage patterns. For example, when a variation pattern with super reach, such as super reach A to super reach D, is specified, an effect control pattern for executing a special effect using the terminal device 500 is selected as part of the reach effect. . That is, when variable display is performed using a variation pattern with a specific reach effect such as super reach A to super reach D, execution of the special effect using the terminal device 500 is started, assuming that a predetermined condition is satisfied. Note that the predetermined condition for executing the special effect is not limited to the variable display by the variation pattern accompanied by the specific reach effect such as Super Reach A to Super Reach D, and corresponds to, for example, the variable display of the decorative design. Then, a predetermined production operation different from the reach production is started, a predetermined production operation in the big hit gaming state is started, and a predetermined production operation is started in response to the start of the probability variation state. Any of these may be included.

  In this embodiment, a different production control pattern is selected depending on whether or not a game history is set. The game history may be set according to a predetermined operation or the like of the operation member for effect 45 before the variable display is started by executing the effect setting process in step S203 shown in FIG. FIG. 10A shows a setting example for selecting an effect control pattern to be a use pattern when there is no game history for which no game history is set. FIG. 10B shows a setting example for selecting an effect control pattern to be a use pattern when there is a game history for which a game history is set.

  In the setting examples shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, when the reach production is any one of Super Reach A to Super Reach D, only the variable display result is “lost” or “big hit”. Instead, different production control patterns can be determined according to the presence / absence of a game history and the history contents when there is a game history. Therefore, various effect operations (history reflection effect operations) reflecting the game history can be executed as the reach effects of super reach A to super reach D.

  In addition, it is not limited to the thing which can determine a different production | presentation control pattern according to the history content in the presence or absence of a game history, or a game history, For example, it changes according to the selection setting of the operation content (effect content) in a predetermined effect. You may set so that an effect control pattern may be determined. As an example, in the setting example shown in FIG. 10B, instead of the “game history” item, or in addition to the “game history” item, an “selected operation setting” item is provided, and the operation content ( Different production control patterns may be provided according to the setting of production content.

  In the process of step S211 shown in FIG. 8, the variable display time may be set corresponding to the variation pattern indicated in the variation pattern designation command. Subsequently, control for starting the effect operation during the variable display is performed (step S212). As an example, “left”, “middle”, “right” are controlled by controlling the display operation in the image display device 41 based on the designation of the display control data included in the effect control pattern determined by the process of step S211. What is necessary is just to start the variable display of a decoration symbol in each decoration symbol display area. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “2” (step S213), and the effect control process process is terminated.

  When the value of the production process flag is “2”, it is determined whether or not the variable display time has elapsed (step S221). If the variable display time has not elapsed (step S221; No), the effect operation control during variable display is performed (step S222), and the effect control process is terminated. On the other hand, when the variable display time has elapsed (step S221; Yes), control for terminating the rendering operation during variable display is performed (step S223).

  Following the processing of step S223, it is determined whether or not the variable display result is “big hit” (step S224). If the variable display result is “big hit” (step S224; Yes), the value of the effect process flag is updated to “3” (step S225), and the effect control process is terminated. On the other hand, when the variable display result is “losing” instead of “big hit” (step S224; No), the effect process flag is cleared and the value is initialized to “0” (step S224). S226), the effect control process is terminated.

  When the value of the production process flag is “3”, it is determined whether or not the big hit gaming state is ended (step S231). At this time, when the big hit gaming state does not end (step S231; No), after performing the effect operation control at the time of the big hit (step S232), the effect control process process ends. On the other hand, when the big hit gaming state ends (step S231; Yes), settings are made for controlling the effect state after the big hit ends (step S233). Thereafter, the effect process flag is cleared and its value is initialized to “0” (step S234), and the effect control process is terminated.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the effect setting process executed in step S203 of FIG. In the effect setting process, the CPU of the effect control microcomputer 32 first determines whether or not there is a display request for a menu screen prepared in advance based on, for example, a detection result of a predetermined operation on the effect operation member 45. Determination is made (step S301). The menu screen can be displayed on the image display device 41 when the gaming machine 1 is not playing a game. The display request for the menu screen may be transmitted to the gaming machine 1 when the player performs a predetermined operation on the effect operation member 45, or the gaming machine 1 wirelessly communicates with the terminal device 500 possessed by the player. Or you may transmit by performing communication by a wire communication. Hereinafter, the case where a menu screen is displayed on the image display device 41 will be mainly described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the gaming machine 1 receives various requests or transmits (inputs / outputs) various information. In addition, various requests and various information may be transmitted by communicating with the terminal device 500 wirelessly or by wire.

  When there is a menu screen display request in step S301 (step S301; Yes), the display operation by the image display device 41 is controlled to display the menu screen (step S302). The menu screen includes items corresponding to, for example, player registration, game history input, game history output, and game history deletion, and when the player performs a predetermined operation on the operation member 45 for production, etc. Any item can be selected. The menu screen is not limited to that displayed on the image display device 41 of the gaming machine 1, and may be displayed on the display 512 of the terminal device 500. In this case, the gaming machine 1 may output various information for displaying the menu screen on the display 512 of the terminal device 500 and transmit it to the terminal device 500.

  When there is no menu screen display request in step S301 (step S301; No), it is determined whether or not a player registration request has been made (step S303) after the process of step S302 is executed. As an example, in the process of step S302, when a menu screen is displayed on the image display device 41, a predetermined operation on the effect operation member 45 is detected, and an item corresponding to player registration is selected. It may be determined that there is a request for player registration.

  When there is a player registration request in step S303 (step S303; Yes), control is performed to output registration information relating to the player on the gaming machine 1 side (step S304). As an example, in the process of step S304, an image showing a two-dimensional code that conforms to a predetermined standard (specific examples such as JIS X 0510 standard or ISO / IEC 18004 standard) is displayed in the display area of the image display device 41. This two-dimensional code includes model information indicating the model and model number of the gaming machine 1, server address information indicating a network address (such as URL and IP address as a specific example) for accessing the player management server 600A, and the like. It is. It is only necessary that the two-dimensional code displayed in this way is captured by the camera 511 of the terminal device 500 so that the terminal device 500 can access the player management server 600A. As another example, the gaming machine 1 and the terminal device 500 communicate wirelessly or by wire so that the terminal device 500 can access the player management server 600A based on the registration information acquired from the gaming machine 1. It may be.

  When there is no player registration request in step S303 (step S303; No), it is determined whether or not there is a game history input request after executing the process of step S304 (step S305). As an example, in the process of step S305, when a menu screen is displayed on the image display device 41, a predetermined operation on the effect operation member 45 is detected, and an item corresponding to the game history input is selected. It may be determined that a game history input request has been made.

  When there is a game history input request in step S305 (step S305; Yes), control is performed to input gaming machine side history information capable of specifying the gaming history on the gaming machine 1 side (step S306). As an example, in the process of step S306, a predetermined operation on the effect operation member 45 is detected, and an input of a password or the like given to the player possessing the terminal device 500 is accepted. This password includes history-related information that can specify a game history in the gaming machine 1. Thus, the history-related information that can identify the game history in the gaming machine 1 is input by the processing in step S306.

  For example, if the gaming machine 1 is a pachinko gaming machine 1A, the game execution status such as the number of big hits, the number of chances of change, the total number of rotations (number of games), the number of times of reach, a predetermined effect, etc. It is only necessary to include some or all of the performance execution status such as the presence / absence or the like, the usage amount, the game date, the game execution status, the performance execution status, and the usage amount on each game date. Further, when the gaming machine 1 is a slot machine 1B, the number of wins for a special role, the total number of rotations (number of games), game execution status such as mission achievement status, performance execution information such as presence / absence of a predetermined effect, usage amount The game day, the game execution status on each game date, the performance execution status, the usage amount, etc. may be partially or fully included. The presence / absence of the predetermined effect in the effect execution situation may indicate whether, for example, a predetermined privilege image is displayed as an effect image on the image display device 41. The mission achievement status in the game execution status only needs to indicate whether various conditions (missions) presented according to the progress of the game have been achieved, for example.

  When there is no game history input request in step S305 (step S305; No), after executing the process of step S306, it is determined whether or not there is a game history output request (step S307). As an example, in the process of step S307, when a menu screen is displayed on the image display device 41, a predetermined operation on the effect operation member 45 is detected, and an item corresponding to the game history output is selected. It may be determined that a game history output request has been made.

  When there is a game history output request in step S307 (step S307; Yes), control is performed on the gaming machine 1 side to output gaming machine side history information that can identify the gaming history so far (step S308). ). As an example, in the process of step S308, an image indicating a two-dimensional code that conforms to a predetermined standard is displayed in the display area of the image display device 41. This two-dimensional code only needs to include history-related information that can specify the game history in the gaming machine 1 in addition to the model information and server address information. At this time, the history related information only needs to be able to specify the game history since the last (latest) password input was received by the process of step S306, for example. Alternatively, the history-related information is, for example, any one of a game history after the game machine side history information is output by the process of step S308 and a game history after the game history is deleted last by the process of step S310. Can be specified. By photographing the two-dimensional code displayed in this way with the camera 511 of the terminal device 500, the terminal device 500 accesses the player management server 600A, and the game managed for each player in the player management server 600A. It is sufficient if the history can be updated.

  When there is no game history output request in step S307 (step S307; No), after executing the process of step S308, it is determined whether or not there is a game history deletion request (step S309). As an example, in the process of step S309, when a menu screen is displayed on the image display device 41, a predetermined operation on the effect operation member 45 is detected, and an item corresponding to game history erasure is selected. It may be determined that there is a request to delete the game history.

  When there is no request for deleting the game history in step S309 (step S309; No), the effect setting process is terminated. On the other hand, when there is a request for deleting the game history in step S309 (step S309; Yes), the gaming machine 1 side controls to delete the game machine side history information that can identify the game history so far. This is performed (step S310), and then the effect setting process ends. As an example, in the process of step S310, the gaming machine side history information stored in a predetermined area of the RAM or the like in the effect control microcomputer 22 is erased.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of processing (player registration processing) executed for registering a player in the gaming system 100. The process shown in FIG. 12 includes a process executed by each of the gaming machine 1, the terminal device 500, and the server 600. In the process shown in FIG. 12, first, the gaming machine 1 receives a player registration request (step SA11). This process corresponds to the CPU of the production control microcomputer 32 executing the process of step S303 shown in FIG. Subsequently, on the gaming machine 1 side, output of registration information relating to the player (gaming machine side registration information) is started (step SA12). This process corresponds to the CPU of the production control microcomputer 32 executing the process of step S304 shown in FIG. After the process of step SA12 is executed, the output of the gaming machine side registration information is terminated based on, for example, the detection of a predetermined operation on the effect operation member 45 (step SA13).

  In the processing shown in FIG. 12, in the terminal device 500, first, initial setting for player registration is performed (step SA21). As an example of the processing in step SA21, the central processing circuit 502 of the terminal device 500 starts a photographing operation using the camera 511 based on detecting a predetermined operation on a predetermined input member included in the various input / output interfaces 503. (For example, the start of execution of a shooting application program). Subsequently, for example, when it is detected that the player has pressed a predetermined shooting start button included in the various input / output interfaces 503, the image display device 41 of the gaming machine 1 is used using the camera 511 of the terminal device 500. The terminal device 500 obtains information for registration on the gaming machine side by photographing the two-dimensional code displayed on (Step SA22).

  As described above, in the terminal device 500, shooting by the camera 511 is performed in accordance with a predetermined operation by the player. Note that after the start setting of the photographing operation is performed in step SA21, photographing by the camera 511 is started as it is, and a separate operation such as pressing of the photographing start button may be unnecessary. Even in this case, the process of step SA21 is executed in accordance with the predetermined operation of the terminal device 500 by the player, and the process of step SA22 is subsequently executed, so that the shooting by the camera 511 is performed in accordance with the predetermined operation by the player. Can be said to be performed. Hereinafter, the same applies to an arbitrary operation for photographing with the camera 511.

  Based on the gaming machine side registration information acquired by the terminal device 500 in this way, the central processing circuit 502 transmits the communication processing circuit 506 and the communication interface 507 to the server 600 serving as the player management server 600A via the telecommunication network 550. Access is made and a registration communication request for the player is made (step SA23). Hereinafter, when the terminal device 500 performs data communication with the server 600 such as the player management server 600A and the image providing server 600B, the central processing circuit 502 performs the communication processing circuit 506 and the communication interface 507 in the same manner as the processing in step SA23. Thus, communication with the various servers 600 may be performed via the telecommunication network 550.

  Subsequent to the processing of step SA23, for example, based on the fact that access is permitted (authentication success), registration information (terminal side registration information) regarding the player is transmitted on the terminal device 500 side (step SA24). ). The terminal registration information includes a terminal code corresponding to the model and model number of the terminal device 500, terminal address information indicating the network address of the terminal device 500, and the like. For example, when the player's profile information is recorded in advance in various memories 501 of the terminal device 500, this profile information may be included in the terminal-side registration information. Further, model information indicating the model and model number of the gaming machine 1 may be included in the terminal-side registration information.

  On the server 600 side serving as the player management server 600A, for example, the central processing circuit 602 executes a computer program for access management and detects access from the terminal device 500 (registration access) (step SA31). Then, it may be determined whether to permit access by executing a predetermined authentication process. Note that any registration access may be permitted without executing special authentication processing. When registration access is permitted in this way, the central processing circuit 602 of the server 600 acquires a terminal code from the terminal-side registration information transmitted from the terminal device 500 (step SA32).

  The central processing circuit 602 of the server 600 selects the operation content (effect content) in the terminal device 500 from a plurality of types of operation content prepared in advance based on the communication result with the terminal device 500 (step SA33). As an example, in step SA33, a web page for selecting operation contents is provided from the server 600 to the terminal device 500, and a predetermined operation by the player is detected on the terminal device 500. The operation content can be selected with. The operation content selected at this time may be anything that can display an image showing a predetermined character as an effect image to be displayed on the display 512 of the terminal device 500 in a special effect as a terminal-side effect. In the terminal device 500, when creating the terminal-side registration information transmitted by the process of step SA24, a plurality of types of characters are displayed in a selectable manner on the display 512, and detection results of predetermined operations on the various input / output interfaces 503 are displayed. One of the characters may be selected according to the above. In this case, the character selection result may be included in the terminal-side registration information and transmitted to the server 600 serving as the player management server 600A.

  After executing the process of step SA33, the game history is initialized (step SA34). Here, since the player is registered, and the game machine 1 has not yet been played, the information indicating that there is no game history is associated with the player identification information that can identify the player. And may be recorded in the database 601. Subsequently, input information used for inputting game history or the like to the gaming machine 1 is initialized (step SA35). As an example, in the process of step SA35, an initial password may be set corresponding to the selection result of the operation content by the process of step SA33 and the initial setting of the game history by the process of step SA34. The game history input information such as the password thus initialized may be recorded and managed in the database 601 of the player management server 600A in association with the player identification information. The game history input information such as a password only needs to be able to specify at least one of a selection setting of operation content (effect content) such as a character display setting and a game history in the gaming machine 1. .

  FIG. 13 shows a setting example of player management information recorded in the database 601 of the player management server 600A. The player management information in the setting example shown in FIG. 13 is information in which a terminal code, a selection operation setting, a game history, and a password are associated with each player who owns and operates the terminal device 500. The terminal code is obtained by the process of step SA32 shown in FIG. The selection operation setting is a setting corresponding to the selection result obtained in step SA33 shown in FIG. The game history is initially set by the process of step SA34 shown in FIG. 12, and is recorded so as to be updated at any time after registration of the player. The password is initially set by the process of step SA35 shown in FIG. 12, and is recorded so as to be updatable in response to the update of the game history. In addition, the password may be unique to each player who operates the terminal device 500 and may be player identification information that can identify the player. Alternatively, the password is not unique to each player, but since it is possible to specify the selection setting of the operation content or the game history, the player identification that can identify the player corresponding to the selection setting or the game history It may be information.

  After executing the process of step SA35 shown in FIG. 12, predetermined information at the time of completion of registration is transmitted from the player management server 600A to the terminal device 500 (step SA36). The information transmitted at this time may include control information for notifying the terminal device 500 of a message indicating registration completion, game history input information such as a password initially set by the process of step SA35, and the like. That's fine.

  On the terminal device 500 side, predetermined information at the time of completion of registration is acquired from the player management server 600A. At this time, the central processing circuit 502 of the terminal device 500 notifies the information when the registration is completed, for example, by causing the image processing circuit 505 to display a predetermined image on the display 512 (step SA25). Further, the game history input information transmitted from the player management server 600A may be recorded and stored in various memories 501. The game history input information such as passwords recorded in the various memories 501 may be displayed on the display 512 and notified to the player based on the fact that a predetermined operation on the various input / output interfaces 503 is detected. .

  FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of processing (history related information input processing) executed to input history related information that can specify a game history to the gaming machine 1. The process shown in FIG. 14 includes a process executed by each of the gaming machine 1 and the terminal device 500. In the process shown in FIG. 14, first, a gaming history input request is accepted in the gaming machine 1 (step SB11). This process corresponds to the CPU of the production control microcomputer 32 executing the process of step S305 shown in FIG.

  In the process shown in FIG. 14, in the terminal device 500, first, an initial setting for game history input to the gaming machine 1 is performed (step SB21). As an example of the process in step SB21, the central processing circuit 502 of the terminal device 500 notifies the player of game history input information such as a password based on the detection of a predetermined operation on various input / output interfaces 503. A computer program (a web browser program or the like as a specific example) is executed. Subsequently, terminal-side history information that can specify the game history is output on the terminal device 500 side (step SB22). As an example of processing in step SB22, the central processing circuit 502 of the terminal device 500 reads game history input information such as a password recorded in various memories 501, and displays it as terminal side history information on the display 512 by the image processing circuit 505. Display. At this time, the terminal-side history information may be output based only on the information recorded in the various memories 501, or the terminal-side history information is obtained by using information obtained by accessing the player management server 600A once. It may be output. For example, the terminal device 500 can specify the game history corresponding to the player who owns and operates the terminal device 500 by accessing the player management server 600A every time the initial setting for game history input is performed. The game history input information may be acquired.

  In the gaming machine 1, the gaming machine side history information that allows the gaming machine 1 to identify the gaming history is input based on the reception of the gaming history input request in the process of step SB11 (step SB12). This process corresponds to the CPU of the production control microcomputer 32 executing the process of step S306 shown in FIG. The gaming machine side history information thus input may be recorded and stored in a predetermined area of the RAM in the production control microcomputer 32. The CPU of the effect control microcomputer 32 may determine the effect control pattern in the process of step S211 shown in FIG. 8 according to the game history specified by the gaming machine side history information.

  If the game history input information such as the password indicates that the operation content (effect content) selection setting for the predetermined effect can be specified, the operation content corresponding to the password input by the process of step SB12 ( It is only necessary to determine an effect control pattern corresponding to the selection setting of (effect content).

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing an example of processing (game history update processing) executed to update the game history. The process shown in FIG. 15 includes processes executed by each of the gaming machine 1, the terminal device 500, and the server 600. In the process shown in FIG. 15, first, a gaming history output request is received in the gaming machine 1 (step SC11). This process corresponds to the CPU of the production control microcomputer 32 executing the process of step S307 shown in FIG. Subsequently, the gaming machine side history information that can identify the gaming history so far is output on the gaming machine 1 side (step SC12). This process corresponds to the CPU of the effect control microcomputer 32 executing the process of step S308 shown in FIG. After the process of step SC12 is executed, the output of the gaming machine side history information is terminated based on, for example, the detection of a predetermined operation on the effect operation member 45 (step SC13).

  In the process shown in FIG. 15, in the terminal device 500, first, an initial setting for game history update is performed (step SC21). As an example of processing in step SC21, the central processing circuit 502 of the terminal device 500 performs setting for starting a photographing operation using the camera 511 based on detection of predetermined operations on various input / output interfaces 503. Subsequently, the terminal device 500 acquires the gaming machine side history information by, for example, photographing a two-dimensional code displayed on the image display device 41 of the gaming machine 1 using the camera 511 of the terminal device 500 (step SC22). ).

  Based on the gaming machine side history information acquired by the terminal device 500 in this manner, the terminal device 500 accesses the server 600 serving as the player management server 600A and makes a communication request for game history updating (step SC23). Then, based on the fact that access is permitted, for example, terminal side history information that enables the game history to be specified is transmitted from the terminal device 500 side (step SC24). At this time, the terminal-side history information only needs to include the terminal code of the terminal device 500, the player's profile information, and the like.

  On the player management server 600A side, an access (access for update) from the terminal device 500 is detected (step SC31). And when access for update is permitted, etc., a player etc. are specified by terminal side history information transmitted from terminal unit 500 (Step SC32). As an example, in the process of step SC32, the player may be specified by profile information included in the terminal-side history information. Further, the terminal device 500 may be specified by a terminal code included in the terminal-side history information. Further, settings for updating the game history are made based on the terminal side history information (step SC33). As an example, in the process of step SC33, the game history information recorded in the database 601 in association with the player specified by the process of step SC32 is updated according to the game history indicated by the terminal-side history information. .

  When the game history is updated by the process of step SC33, the password may be updated corresponding to the updated game history. The game history input information such as the password updated in this way may be recorded in the database 601 of the player management server 600A in association with the player identification information. Thereafter, predetermined information at the completion of the update is transmitted from the player management server 600A to the terminal device 500 (step SC34). Information transmitted at this time may include control information for informing the terminal device 500 of a message indicating the completion of update, game history input information such as an updated password, and the like.

  On the terminal device 500 side, predetermined information at the completion of the update is acquired from the player management server 600A. At this time, information notification at the completion of the update is performed in the terminal device 500 (step SC25). Further, the game history input information transmitted from the player management server 600A may be recorded and stored in various memories 501.

  FIG. 16 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a process (special effect control process) executed to control the special effect in the terminal device 500. The process shown in FIG. 16 includes processes executed by each of the gaming machine 1, the terminal device 500, and the server 600. In the process shown in FIG. 16, first, a start condition for executing variable display of symbols by the symbol display device 11 is established, for example, when a start prize is generated in the gaming machine 1 (step SD11). This process corresponds to the case where the CPU of the game control microcomputer 22 determines that a start winning has occurred in the process of step S11 shown in FIG. Subsequently, a super reach determination at the time of winning is performed (step SD12). The process of step SD12 is performed based on, for example, the random value for determining the variable display result or the random value for determining the variation pattern extracted by the CPU of the game control microcomputer 22 in the process of step S12 shown in FIG. This is a process for determining that a specific variation pattern with a specific reach effect such as super reach A to super reach D is determined. That is, in the process shown in FIG. 16, it is determined that the variation pattern is determined to be a specific variation pattern with super reach based on the occurrence of the start winning in the gaming machine 1.

  Subsequent to the processing in step SD12, the variable display suspension with super reach is notified (step SD13). This process corresponds to the case where the CPU of the effect control microcomputer 32 executes the process of step S52 shown in FIG. 8 and that a specific variation pattern is designated by the winning determination result designation command. doing. Thereby, in the start winning storage display area provided in the image display device 41, the hold display is updated in a display mode different from the normal hold display. This hold display only needs to be a display mode in which the player can recognize in advance that the special effect is executed before the special effect using the terminal device 500 is executed.

  In the processing shown in FIG. 16, in the terminal device 500, first, preparation for operation of the photographing function using the camera 511 is performed (step SD21). As an example, a player who recognizes in advance that a special effect is to be executed from the hold display in the start winning memory display area performs a predetermined operation on various input / output interfaces 503 of the terminal device 500. The central processing circuit 502 of the terminal device 500 performs settings for starting a photographing operation using the camera 511 based on the detection of the predetermined operation.

  In the gaming machine 1 in which the process of step SD13 has been executed, in response to the start of variable display based on the occurrence of the start winning in step SD11, the super reach effect operation is started (step SD14). This processing corresponds to, for example, that the CPU of the production control microcomputer 32 executes the processing of step S211 and step S212 shown in FIG. Here, in the case where game machine side history information (game history input information such as a password) is recorded in a predetermined area of the RAM in the effect control microcomputer 32, an effect control pattern is determined by the process of step S211. Depending on the game history shown in the gaming machine side history information and the gaming history in the gaming machine 1 after the gaming machine side history information is recorded, as shown in FIG. Is selected as the usage pattern. By performing the effect operation control in step S222 shown in FIG. 8 using the effect control pattern selected in this way, in the gaming machine 1, the effect operation (history reflecting effect) having different effect modes (effect contents) according to the game history. Operation) is executed. Further, when the gaming machine side history information is not recorded, the gaming machine side history information is recorded as shown in FIG. 10A when the effect control pattern is determined by the process of step S211. An effect control pattern different from the case is selected as the usage pattern. When the effect operation control in step S222 shown in FIG. 8 is performed using the effect control pattern thus selected, an effect operation (game effect operation) corresponding to the variation pattern or variable display result is executed regardless of the game history. The

  If the game history input information such as the password indicates that the operation content (effect content) selection setting for the predetermined effect can be specified, the password is determined when the effect control pattern is determined by the process of step S211. Different production control patterns are selected as usage patterns in accordance with the selection of operation content (production content) corresponding to. By performing the effect operation control in step S222 shown in FIG. 8 using the effect control pattern selected in this way, in the gaming machine 1, effect operations having different effect modes (effect contents) are executed according to the selection setting. . If no password is recorded, for example, as shown in FIG. 10A, an effect control pattern different from the case where the password is recorded is selected as the usage pattern. Thereby, regardless of the selection of the operation content (effect content), the effect operation according to the variation pattern and the variable display result can be executed.

  In the terminal device 500 in which the process of step SD21 is executed, for example, when it is detected that a predetermined shooting start button included in the various input / output interfaces 503 is pressed by the player, the camera 511 of the terminal device 500 is used. Then, the shooting function is started (step SD22), and shooting is performed with the history reflecting effect operation and the effect aspect of the game effect operation as the object to be imaged. At this time, the captured image data generated by the camera 511 may be supplied to the image processing circuit 505, and a captured image (actual image) may be displayed on the display 512.

  Subsequent to the processing in step SD22, the terminal device 500 accesses the server 600 serving as the image providing server 600B, and makes a communication request for terminal side production (step SD23). Also, shooting result information corresponding to the shooting result by the camera 511 is generated (step SD24). Then, the photographing result information is transmitted to the image providing server 600B (step SD25).

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing an example of processing executed in steps SD24 and SD25 in FIG. In this process, the history reflection effect operation or the effect execution time of the game effect operation in the gaming machine 1 and the variable display result of the symbol (special symbol) by the symbol display device 11 are specified in the terminal device 500, and according to the specification result. In this process, a provision image is designated to the image provision server 600B.

  In the process shown in FIG. 17, first, captured image data is generated by the camera 511 of the terminal device 500 (step SE21). Thereafter, the captured image data generated in step SE21 is analyzed (step SE22). Then, based on the analysis result of the process of step SE22, the effect execution time that becomes the remaining execution time of the history reflection effect operation and the game effect operation is specified (step SE23). Further, it is specified whether the variable display result is “lost” or “big hit” (step SE24).

  In the history reflection effect operation and the game effect operation, for example, the effect operation switching control is performed by the CPU of the effect control microcomputer 32 using an effect control pattern configured as shown in FIG. Therefore, in the history reflection effect operation and the game effect operation, the effect mode (effect content) changes according to the elapsed time after the effect operation is started. Therefore, the photographed image data is analyzed by the process of step SE22, and the effect execution time that becomes the remaining execution time of each effect operation can be specified from the current effect mode (effect contents) corresponding to the analysis result.

  Also, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the production control pattern is determined to be a different pattern depending on whether the variable display result is “lost” or “big hit”. . Therefore, the history reflection effect operation and the game effect operation have different effect modes (effect contents) depending on whether the variable display result is “lost” or “big hit”. Therefore, the photographed image data is analyzed by the process of step SE22, and it is specified from the effect mode (effect content) according to the analysis result whether the variable display result is “lost” or “big hit”. it can. It should be noted that the difference in the production mode (production content) corresponding to the variable display result may be such that it is difficult to recognize depending on the player's vision or hearing. In other words, it becomes impossible or difficult for the player to recognize whether the variable display result is “lost” or “big hit” until the final stage of the history reflecting effect operation or the game effect operation. Yes.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 10A and 10B, the effect control pattern is determined to be a different use pattern depending on whether the reach effect is super reach A to super reach D. Therefore, the history reflection effect operation and the game effect operation have different effect modes (effect contents) depending on whether the reach effect is Super Reach A to Super Reach D. Then, when the variation pattern is determined in step S111 shown in FIG. 6, each variation pattern is determined at a different rate depending on whether the variable display result is determined to be “lost” or “big hit”. Thereby, depending on which one of the super reach A to the super reach D appears as the reach effect, the possibility that the variable display result will be a “big hit” (big hit reliability) can be varied. Therefore, the photographed image data is analyzed by the processing of step SE22, and the possibility of the variable display result to be a “big hit” (hit hit reliability) is specified from the effect mode (effect contents) corresponding to the analysis result. it can.

  The history reflecting effect operation is a different effect mode (effect content) depending on the game history in the gaming machine 1. Therefore, the game history in the gaming machine 1 can be specified by analyzing the shot image data generated when shooting is performed with the effect mode of the history reflection effect operation as the shooting target. Further, the history reflecting effect operation and the game effect operation may be different effect modes (effect contents) depending on the selection of the operation content (effect content) by the player. In this case, the selection of the operation content (effect content) in the gaming machine 1 is performed by analyzing the captured image data generated when shooting is performed with the effect mode of the history reflection effect operation or the game effect operation being performed. Can be specified.

  In this way, the captured image data generated when shooting is performed with the effect mode of the history reflection effect operation and the game effect operation being performed as an object to be imaged. Thereby, at least any of the effect execution time, the variable display result, and the jackpot reliability (in the case where the effect mode of the history reflecting effect operation is a shooting target, the game history is also included, and the operation content selection setting is also included). The game control information including can be acquired.

  The central processing circuit 502 of the terminal device 500 designates a provided image to the image providing server 600B according to the identification result obtained by the processing in steps SE23 and SE24 (step SE25). As an example, the various memories 501 of the terminal device 500 can specify game control information including at least one of the effect execution time of the history reflection effect operation or the game effect operation, the variable display result, or the jackpot reliability, and the provided image. The provided image determination table associated with the information shown in FIG. The central processing circuit 502 of the terminal device 500 refers to the provided image determination table on the basis of the identification results obtained in the processes of steps SE23 and SE24, and responds to the identification results such as the performance execution time, the variable display result, and the jackpot reliability. Then, the effect image to be the provided image is determined. Provided image designation information for designating the provided image thus determined may be transmitted to the image providing server 600B as shooting result information.

  Note that the processing in steps SE22 to SE25 shown in FIG. 17 is not limited to that executed by the central processing circuit 502 or the image processing circuit 503 of the terminal device 500, but a server 600 such as the central processing circuit 602 of the image providing server 600B. It may be executed on the side of In this case, in the terminal device 500, for example, the image providing server 600 </ b> B via the telecommunication network 550 in a predetermined streaming format or a batch upload format in which the captured image data generated by the camera 511 is stored in a predetermined file. To the server 600. In the image providing server 600B and the like, it is only necessary that the central processing circuit 602 or the dedicated image processing circuit can execute the same processing as steps SE22 to SE25 to determine the effect image to be the provided image.

  Alternatively, in the process of step SD24 shown in FIG. 16, the image processing circuit 505 may acquire predetermined effect shooting state information as a processing result of the shooting image data supplied from the camera 511. The effect shooting state information is provided to the central processing circuit 502. The effect shooting state information only needs to indicate that the operation mode at the time when the history reflecting effect operation or the game effect operation is captured by the camera 511 can be detected. As an example, the effect shooting state information executes a predetermined decoding process based on the result of shooting a light beacon using a predetermined pixel in the image display device 41 of the gaming machine 1 or a predetermined lamp or LED in the light emitting member 43 for the effect. May be generated. As another example, the effect shooting state information is generated by the image processing circuit 505 performing an operation analysis of a shooting target (a history reflection effect operation or a game effect operation effect mode) using a part or all of the captured image data. May be. This motion analysis process may be the same process as step SE22 shown in FIG. The shooting result information may include such effect shooting state information. It should be noted that game control information including at least one of the effect execution time of the history reflection effect operation or the game effect operation, the variable display result, or the jackpot reliability may be included in the effect shooting state information.

  The operation mode that can be detected based on the effect shooting state information may be, for example, an operation mode (reach mode) in the reach effect, an operation mode of various effects during variable display of a decorative pattern other than the reach effect, and an effect execution time. Or the predetermined operation | movement aspect containing at least any one of a variable display result or jackpot reliability may be sufficient. That is, steps SE23 and SE24 illustrated in FIG. 17 may be included in processing for detecting an operation mode (effect mode) of a subject to be photographed by the camera 511, such as a history reflection effect operation or a game effect operation mode.

  On the server 600 side serving as the image providing server 600B, for example, the central processing circuit 602 executes a computer program for access management and detects access from the terminal device 500 (image providing access) (step SD31). At this time, identification of a player or the like is performed (step SD32). As an example, the communication request for terminal side production includes the terminal code of the terminal device 500, the profile information of the player, and the like, and the player may be specified by this profile information. Further, the image providing server 600B executes an authentication process in cooperation with the player management server 600A, and determines whether or not the player who owns and operates the terminal device 500 from which the communication request is transmitted has already been registered. You may judge.

  Following the processing of step SD32, the photographing result information transmitted from the terminal device 500 is acquired (step SD33). Then, an image to be provided to the terminal device 500 is selected based on the acquired photographing result information and the like (step SD34). The provided image selected in step SD34 is transmitted to terminal device 500 (step SD35). As an example, when provided image designation information is transmitted as shooting result information, image data corresponding to the provided image designated by the provided image designation information may be read from the database 601 and transmitted to the terminal device 500. .

  Alternatively, when the shooting result information includes the effect shooting state information, the provided image may be selected based on the effect shooting state corresponding to the effect shooting state information. FIG. 18A shows a configuration example of a provided image selection table stored in advance in the database 601 of the image providing server 600B in order to select a provided image based on such effect shooting state. In the configuration example of the provided image selection table shown in FIG. 18A, different provided image codes are set according to the effect shooting state, the selection operation setting, and the game history. Information indicating the selection operation setting and the game history may be acquired from the player management server 600A at the time of player authentication or may be included in the shooting result information. The central processing circuit 602 of the image providing server 600B specifies the provided image code by referring to the provided image selection table based on the effect shooting state or the like. Then, image data provided with an image code that matches the specified provided image code may be read from the database 601 and transmitted to the terminal device 500. For example, as shown in FIG. 18B, the image data recorded in the database 601 may be preliminarily provided with an image code corresponding to the effect display content. Accordingly, different provided images can be selected according to the effect shooting state, the selection operation setting, and the game history and provided to the terminal device 500.

  Note that the image data provided from the image providing server 600B to the terminal device 500 is for displaying a virtual image (for example, a CG image) different from the image (actual image) captured by the camera 511. Alternatively, it may be for displaying a real image prepared in advance separately from an image (actual image) captured by the camera 511. Also, the image data provided from the image providing server 600B to the terminal device 500 may be for displaying a still image or for displaying a moving image. In this way, a captured image as a real image captured by the camera 511 and a virtual image different from the captured image are combined, for example, augmented reality (AR) or augmented virtuality (AV). It is possible to execute a special effect that gives mixed reality (MR). Furthermore, the image captured by the camera 511 is not limited to being used for display on the display 512 as it is, and a virtual image or a real image selected based on the captured image data corresponds to the image data provided from the image providing server 600B. It may be combined with a virtual image or a photographed image. Thereby, for example, a special effect that gives virtual reality (VR) can be executed.

  When the image providing server 600B acquires information indicating the selection operation setting and the game history from the player management server 600A, it is possible to specify the operation content (effect content) selection setting and the game history in the gaming machine 1. Even if no history related information is input and a game effect operation not based on the selection operation setting or the game history is executed, a different provided image according to the selection operation setting or the game history is displayed on the image providing server 600B side. You can choose. By displaying a game effect image using the provided image selected in this way on the display 512 of the terminal device 500, the game machine 1 executes a game effect operation that does not depend on the selection operation setting or the game history. However, in the terminal device 500, it is possible to execute special effects having different effects depending on the selection operation setting and the game history.

  When executing a special effect in the terminal device 500, the image data used for synthesizing the effect image may be provided by always accessing the image providing server 600B. In this case, if at least the player registration is completed, the execution history of the special effects can be managed as the game history on the server 600 side. Then, the image providing server 600B does not perform complicated procedures such as the player operating the gaming machine 1 or the terminal device 500 and inputting history related information, and the provided images differ according to the execution history of the special effects. The terminal device 500 can execute special effects having different effects according to the execution history of the special effects.

  In this way, on the terminal device 500 side, image data corresponding to the provided image from the image providing server 600B is acquired. Then, by displaying on the display 512 a game effect image obtained by synthesizing the image captured by the camera 511 and the effect image corresponding to the image data acquired from the image providing server 600B, a special effect serving as a terminal effect is obtained. Execution is started (step SD26). The image data acquired from the image providing server 600B becomes different image data according to the effect execution time included in the game control information or according to the effect shooting state included in the effect shooting state information. Therefore, the effect image combined with the image captured by the camera 511 differs depending on the detection result of the operation mode in the effect operation at the game machine 1 to be imaged by the camera 511.

  As an example, a provided image for performing one of a plurality of types of terminal-side effect display may be selected at a selection ratio as shown in FIG. 19 according to a variable display result included in the game control information. In the selection ratio setting example shown in FIG. 19, the selection ratio of the terminal side effect display is made different for each reach effect of super reach A to super reach D according to the variable display result. Further, in the setting example shown in FIG. 19, the big hit reliability in the reach production of Super Reach A (the possibility that the variable display result becomes “big hit”) is 10%, and the big hit reliability in the reach production of Super Reach B is It is 20%, the big hit reliability in the reach production of Super Reach C is 50%, and the big hit reliability in the reach production of Super Reach D is 75%.

  Then, according to the selection ratio of each terminal side effect display according to the variable display result, when the terminal side effect display of “first character only” is executed, the big hit lower than the big hit reliability in the reach reach of super reach Reliability is suggested. On the other hand, when the terminal side effect display of “first character → second character” is executed, or when the terminal side effect display of “first character → second character + flash” is executed, the super reach A big hit reliability higher than the big hit reliability in the reach production can be suggested. As described above, the game effect image indicating a high possibility is displayed in the plurality of types of terminal side effect display as compared with the jackpot reliability suggested in the game effect operation such as the reach effect executed in the gaming machine 1. It suffices to include the terminal side effect display to be displayed.

  In the setting example shown in FIG. 19, when the reach effect of super reach B or super reach D is executed, the variable side display result of “first character → second character + flash” is “big hit”. The selection ratio is set so that selection is not possible when the variable display result is “lost”, while selection is possible when “”. Therefore, when the reach effect of Super Reach B or Super Reach D is executed in the gaming machine 1 and the terminal side effect of “first character → second character + flash” is executed in the terminal device 500, it is variable. That the display result is “big hit” can be clearly notified before the variable display result is derived and displayed. Thus, based on the combination of the production mode of the predetermined production (for example, reach production) in the gaming machine 1 and the production mode of the terminal side production in the terminal device 500, whether or not the variable display result is “big hit”, etc. The game result (whether or not a predetermined game value can be given) may be notified in a definite manner. In addition, regardless of the effect mode of the predetermined effect in the gaming machine 1, based on only the effect mode of the terminal side effect in the terminal device 500, the game result such as whether or not the variable display result is “big hit” is deterministic. You may make it alert | report to. In addition, for example, in the gaming machine 1, there is provided a terminal-side presentation effect mode that can be selected when the variable display result is “losing”, but is not selected when the variable display result is “big hit”. A predetermined game result such as a variable display result being “losing” may be reported in a definitive manner in combination with a predetermined aspect of the effect or based on only the terminal-side effect.

  In addition, it is not limited to what notifies a game result definitely, The effect aspect of the terminal side effect used as the special effect performed in the terminal device 500 is compared with the effect aspect of the predetermined effect performed in the gaming machine 1. Thus, it may be an effect mode in which the player can predict the game result more accurately. In the setting example shown in FIG. 19, when the reach effect of super reach A or super reach C is executed, the variable side display result of “first character → second character + flash” is “lost” The selection ratio is set so that the variable display result is selected at a significantly higher ratio when the variable display result is “big hit”. Therefore, when the reach effect of super reach A or super reach C is executed in the gaming machine 1 and the terminal side effect of “first character → second character + flash” is executed in the terminal device 500, it is variable. It can be notified that the possibility that the display result will be a “hit” is greatly increased. In this way, the game result suggested by the terminal-side effect presentation mode in the terminal device 500 is compared with the possibility of the game result suggested by the predetermined-effect effect mode in the gaming machine 1 (for example, the jackpot reliability). The selection ratio of terminal side effects may be set so that the possibility is closer to a predetermined game result. In addition, for example, there may be provided a terminal-side production effect mode that is selected at a significantly higher rate when the variable display result is “losing” than when the variable display result is “big hit”. .

  Thereafter, in the gaming machine 1, the super-reaching effect operation ends in response to, for example, the determined symbol that is the variable display result being derived and displayed on the symbol display device 11 (step SD15). At this time, in terminal device 500, the effect operation of the special effect serving as the terminal effect is also ended (step SD27).

  Next, an example of a specific control operation for executing a rendering operation that is a special rendering will be described. In this control operation example, in the pachinko gaming machine 1A, when variable display is performed with a variation pattern involving super reach, such as super reach A to super reach D, a predetermined condition for starting the effect operation as a special effect is established. To do. At this time, for example, a player PP as shown in FIG. 20 operates a cellular phone 500B which is an example of the terminal device 500, and an effect operation (history reflection effect operation or game effect operation) in the pachinko gaming machine 1A is performed by the camera 511. Take a picture. That is, the history reflection effect operation and the effect aspect of the game effect operation executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1A are photographed as objects to be photographed by the camera 511 of the mobile phone 500B. In addition, as a premise for executing the history reflection effect operation by the pachinko gaming machine 1A, for example, as shown by the wavy line in FIG. 20, the pachinko gaming machine 1A and the mobile phone 500B communicate wirelessly, etc. Various information for inputting the game history of the player in the gaming machine 1A may be transmitted (transmitted / received).

  FIGS. 21 and 22 show an example of an effect operation in which a special effect is executed by displaying a game effect image on the display 512 of the mobile phone 500B when the reach effect of super reach is executed in the pachinko gaming machine 1A. ing. In this effect operation example, as shown in FIG. 21A, the decorative symbols are stopped and displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas in the image display device 41 of the pachinko gaming machine 1A. The number of variable display holds is “2”. Accordingly, in response to the start of the variable display of the special symbol by the symbol display device 11, for example, the variable display of the decorative symbol is started as shown in FIG. Thereafter, in response to the variable display result being “lost”, for example, a decorative pattern of a combination (lost combination) as shown in FIG. 21C is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, for example, based on the fact that the start winning is generated in step S11 of FIG. 6 or step SD11 of FIG. 16, the super-reach determination at the time of winning is performed in step S12 of FIG. 6 or step SD12 of FIG.

  When such a super-reach determination at the time of winning is made, an effect image H01 corresponding to the camera as shown in, for example, FIG. 21C is obtained by the processing of step S52 shown in FIG. 8 or step SD13 shown in FIG. It is displayed in the 41 start winning memory display area. This effect image H01 is a display that is held in a display mode different from the normal hold display, and notifies the player in advance that the special effect can be executed.

  Thereafter, since the variable display hold number is “2”, the variable display of the special symbol by the symbol display device 11 is started. In response to this, for example, as shown in FIG. 21D, variable display of decorative symbols is started. Then, in response to the variable display result being “lost”, for example, a decorative pattern of the lost combination as shown in FIG. 21E is stopped (displayed). Also at this time, since the effect image H01 corresponding to the camera is displayed in the start winning memory display area, the player can easily recognize that the special effect can be executed. Thereby, it is possible to prepare for shooting by the camera 511 of the mobile phone 500B before the execution of the special effect is started.

  Subsequent to the decorative symbol stop display as shown in FIG. 21E, variable display corresponding to the pending display of the effect image H01 is started. At this time, for example, the display operation of the image display device 41 is controlled in step S222 in accordance with the effect control pattern determined in step S211 of FIG. 8, for example, as shown in FIG. An effect image is displayed, and a message M01 instructing photographing using the camera 511 of the mobile phone 500B is notified. In response to such an instruction, when the player PP starts shooting using the camera 511 of the mobile phone 500B, for example, as shown in FIG. Is displayed. In the shooting operation example shown in FIG. 21G, the display range of the image display device 41 is only partially included in the shooting range of the camera 511. Therefore, the special effect by displaying on the display 512 a game effect image obtained by synthesizing an effect image (virtual image or the like) different from the actual image captured by the camera 511 has not yet started.

  When the player PP adjusts the position and orientation of the mobile phone 500B, etc., when the entire display area of the image display device 41 is included in the shooting range of the camera 511, the execution of the special effect may be started. At this time, the imaging result information generated in step SD24 of FIG. 16 is transmitted to server 600 serving as image providing server 600B in step SD25.
