When the CPU reads and executes various programs and data stored in the ROM, main processing relating to the game (game processing) is performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 8, a special symbol lottery unit (lottery determination means) 110 for performing electronic lottery related to a special symbol when a game ball wins a winning winning opening 37, and the special symbol lottery The special symbol determination unit 120 that determines the special symbol according to the lottery result determined by the unit 110, the variation pattern command determination unit 140 for determining the variation pattern command that is a game command, and the lottery result by the special symbol lottery unit 110 If the determination is a big hit, the solenoid of the attacker device 41 is operated to shift to the big hit game, and the electronic lottery related to the normal symbol is triggered when the game ball passes through the through chucker 21 The main control is provided with a normal symbol lottery unit 170 to perform and an electric tulip operation control unit 180 for controlling the operation of the electric tulip 49. Processing section 11 is configured.

  The special symbol lottery unit 110 generates a random number for a special symbol that generates a software random number by updating the value of the loop counter one by one within a predetermined range based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). One random number is acquired (latched) at the timing when the game ball is won in the unit 111 and the start winning opening 37 (at the timing when the detection signal from the start winning opening detection sensor 43 is input to the main control processing unit 11). A special symbol random number acquiring unit 112, a special symbol random number acquiring unit 112 that determines whether or not the random number acquired by the special symbol random number acquiring unit 112 is a big hit, with reference to the special symbol determination table 114, and a special symbol If the special symbol is changing when the symbol random number acquisition unit 112 acquires a random number, the acquired random number is stored as a reserved ball random number up to an upper limit of four (predetermined number). That pending ball random number memory unit 115, and a.

  The variation pattern command determination unit 140 includes a variation pattern random number lottery unit 130 that performs a lottery process of variation pattern random numbers used to determine a variation pattern command that is a command for determining an effect mode, a variation pattern random number, and variation Pattern command pattern No. A command reference table 135 in which a plurality of tables associated with (game commands) are stored. As shown in FIG. 9, the fluctuation pattern random number lottery unit 130 sets the value of the loop counter within a predetermined range (from 0 to 63) based on an interrupt signal periodically input (for example, every 2 milliseconds). Based on a random number generator for variation pattern 131 that generates software random numbers by updating one by one and a game ball won in the start winning opening 37 (a detection signal from the starting winning opening detection sensor 43 is a main control processing section) 11, a variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132 that acquires (latches) one random number (at the timing input to 11), a variation pattern random number storage unit 134 that stores the random number acquired by the variation pattern random number acquisition unit 132, It has.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the command reference table 135 includes a jackpot reference table 135a that is referred to when the acquired special symbol random number is a jackpot random number, and a lost reference table 135b that is referred to in the case of a loss. Referring to these tables 135a and 135b, the variation pattern command determination unit 140 determines the variation pattern No. Is determined.

  More specifically, the big hit reference table 135a includes a variation pattern No. that is a game command. 1 to 64 are assigned, and the change pattern No. which is a game command is stored in the reference table 135b for lose. 65 to 127 are allocated. When the random number acquired by the special symbol random number acquisition unit 112 is a big hit random number, the variation pattern command determination unit 140 determines the variation pattern No. One pattern is selected from 1 to 64 based on the random number for the variation pattern, and the pattern is transmitted to the effect control processing unit 12a as a variation pattern command.

  Similarly, in the case of a loss, the fluctuation pattern command determination unit 140 changes the fluctuation pattern No. One pattern is selected from 65 to 127 based on the random number for the variation pattern, and the command is transmitted to the effect control processing unit 12a. The variation pattern No. 1 to 64, the variation pattern No. Compared to 65-127, it is a variation pattern command with a long variation time of special symbols as a whole, and if an effect mode with a long variation time is displayed, the player predicts that the possibility of a big hit is high. Can be done.

  Next, the jackpot game control unit 160 controls to open and close the attacker device 41 by a predetermined number of rounds according to the type of jackpot. In the pachinko machine P of the present embodiment, the types of jackpots are 15 round probability variation jackpot (15R probability variation), 5 round probability variation jackpot (5R probability variation), 2 round probability variation jackpot (2R probability variation), 15 round normal jackpot (15 normal), Five rounds of normal jackpot (5R normal) and sudden probability change (surprise) are set. The number of rounds indicates the number of times the attacker device 41 is opened during the big hit game. For example, in the case of 15R probability change, the attacker device 41 is opened 15 times. The probability variation jackpot is a jackpot that shifts to the probability variation gaming state after the jackpot game ends, and the special symbol success / failure determination unit 113 in the probability variation gaming state refers to the high probability table having a high winning probability instead of the special symbol determination table 114. Make a pass / fail decision. The winning probability is a jackpot with a small number of times the opening of the attacker device 41 during the jackpot game and an extremely short opening time, and after the jackpot game is over, the game shifts to a probability change gaming state.

  Further, the normal symbol lottery unit 170 is triggered by the fact that the game ball has passed through the through-chucker 21 and the normal symbol random number generator having the same configuration as the number of random numbers generated by the special symbol random number generator 111. The normal symbol random number acquiring unit that acquires (latches) one random number (at the timing when the detection signal from the through chucker detection sensor 46 is input to the main control processing unit 11), and the normal symbol random number acquiring unit acquires If the normal symbol is changing when the normal symbol random number acquisition unit and the normal symbol random number acquisition unit acquire random numbers, the normal symbol determination table that determines whether or not the random number is per normal symbol And a normal symbol reserved ball random number storage unit for storing the acquired random number as a normal symbol reserved ball random number. In addition, the electric tulip operation control unit 180 controls the solenoid of the electric tulip 49 to open and close based on a command won per normal symbol by the electronic lottery by the normal symbol lottery unit 170. Moreover, in the case of a predetermined jackpot, the game shifts to the short-time gaming state after the jackpot game. The normal symbol success / failure determination unit in the short-time gaming state determines whether or not the normal symbol is successful by referring to a high-accuracy table having a high winning probability instead of the normal symbol determination table at the normal time. In the short-time gaming state, the electric tulip 49 is opened frequently, and winning to the start winning opening 37 is supported by the electric tulip 49. Therefore, this state is referred to as support, and conversely, the normal state is not supported (or It is called during support.

[Sub-control processing section]
Next, a sub control processing unit that receives various commands (commands) from the main control processing unit 11 and controls various devices will be described. An effect control processing unit 12a, a special symbol display control unit 12b, a lamp control processing unit 12c, a payout control processing unit 12e, and a normal symbol display control unit 12f constituting the sub control processing unit are provided on the back surface of the game board 3 with support members and the like.

The effect mode determination unit 210 refers to one of the effect tables 260a to 260f stored in the effect mode storage unit 260 based on the variation pattern command received from the main control processing unit 11, and uses the effect used in the game. decide.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the big hit normal performance table 260a includes a variation pattern No. 1-No. A production mode is assigned so as to correspond to up to 64 variation pattern commands on a one-to-one basis. For example, the variation pattern No. “Long reach A (X)” is the change pattern No. 2 shows “Long reach A (Y)”. 3 is “Long Reach A (Z)”. 4 is “Long Reach B (X)”, the change pattern No. “Long reach B (Y)” is the change pattern No. 6 shows “Long reach B (Z)”. 31 is “Super Super Reach A (X)”, and the variation pattern No. 59 is assigned “Premier Reach A (X)”. All of these production modes include reach (the production mode in a state where all other production symbols are stopped at the same design, leaving one production design that is fluctuating among multiple production designs), and reach. It is a mode in which a long-time production is performed as compared to a production that does not include. Long reach A (X), long reach A (Y), and long reach A (Z) share the same content, but the characters that appear on the screen are different (Long reach A (X) The character “X” is set so that the character “Y” appears in the long reach A (Y) and the character “Z” appears in the long reach A (Z). The same applies to Long Reach B, Super Reach A, Super Reach B, Super Super Reach A, Super Super Reach B, Premier Reach A and Premier Reach B.

  The jackpot bonus 1 effect table 260b is used for the first customization that is used in place of the jackpot normal performance table 260a only when the player inputs a password in which the first customization information is encrypted to the pachinko machine P. It is a privilege production table. As described above, the first customization information is customization information for the character “X” custom mini, the character “Y” custom mini, or the character “Z” custom mini. An example of the 1 effect table 260b is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 13, in the jackpot bonus 1 effect table 260b, the variation pattern No. is similar to the jackpot normal effect table 260a. 1-No. A production mode is assigned so as to correspond to up to 64 variation pattern commands on a one-to-one basis. The jackpot bonus 1 performance table 260b is set such that the appearance frequency of a specific character (character “X” in the example of FIG. 13) selected by the player through customization is higher than the jackpot normal performance table 260a. A player who likes a specific character can increase the chance that the favorite character appears by performing this customization. For example, among the characters “X”, “Y”, and “Z” that appear in each effect image, the characters “X”, “Y”, and “Z” appear at the same frequency in the jackpot variation pattern table 260a. In the big hit effect table 260b, the selected character “X” is set to appear more frequently than the other characters “Y” and “Z”. For this reason, the player who likes the character “X” can increase the chance of the character “X” appearing by the character “X” custom mini. Note that the jackpot normal effect table 260a and the jackpot bonus 1 effect table 260b have the same basic configuration (effect time, story, etc.) of effect modes corresponding to the same variation pattern command. For example, the variation pattern No. The super super reach B (Z) and the super super reach B (X) assigned to 36 respectively have the same production time and story. Also, the sound generated by the sound control unit 230 in accordance with the effect image is different between the case of referring to the jackpot normal effect table 260a and the case of referring to the jackpot bonus 1 effect table 260b. In addition, the jackpot bonus 1 effect table 260b of the present embodiment has any variation pattern No. Is selected, the characters “Y” and “Z” do not appear, and the character “Y” is displayed for all the effects in which the characters “Y” and “Z” appear in the normal effect table 260a for jackpots. "And" Z "are set so that the character" X "appears.

  The jackpot bonus 2 performance table 260c is used for the second customization to be used in place of the jackpot normal performance table 260a only when the player inputs a password in which the second customization information is encrypted to the pachinko machine P. It is a privilege production table. As described above, the second customization information is the customization information for the character “X” custom DX, the character “Y” custom DX, or the character “Z” custom DX. An example of the 2 effect table 260c is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 14, in the jackpot bonus 2 effect table 260c, similarly to the jackpot bonus effect 1 effect table 260a and the jackpot bonus 1 effect table 260b, the variation pattern No. 1-No. A production mode is assigned so as to correspond to up to 64 variation pattern commands on a one-to-one basis. The jackpot bonus 2 stage table 260c has a higher appearance frequency of the specific character (character “X” in the example of FIG. 14) selected by customization by the player than the jackpot normal stage table 260a, and the jackpot normal stage table 260a and the special bonus for bonus game 1 effect table 260b are set so that a special effect by a specific character that is not set is executed, and a player who likes a specific character can make a favorite by performing this customization. In addition to increasing the chances of the character appearing, it is possible to enjoy a special effect by a specific character that is not executed in the normal effect or other customized effects. For example, among the characters “X”, “Y”, and “Z” that appear in each effect image, the characters “X”, “Y”, and “Z” appear at the same frequency in the jackpot variation pattern table 260a. In the two jackpot effect table 260c, the selected character “X” is set to appear at a higher frequency than the other characters “Y” and “Z” (a frequency equal to or higher than that of the jackpot bonus 1 effect table 260b). Therefore, a player who likes the character “X” can increase the chance that the character “X” appears by the character “X” custom DX. Further, unlike the jackpot bonus 1 effect table 260b, the long reach SP1 (X), the long reach SP2 (X), the super reach SP1 (X), and the super reach SP2 (X), which are special effects by the character “X”. , Super Super Reach SP1 (X), Super Super Reach SP2 (X), Premier Reach SP1 (X) and Premier Reach SP2 (X) are set, so that a player who likes the character “X” X ”Custom DX allows you to enjoy special effects by character“ X ”. The jackpot normal effect table 260a and the jackpot bonus 2 effect table 260c have the same effect time in the effect mode corresponding to the same variation pattern command. For example, the variation pattern No. The super super reach B (Z) and super super reach SP2 (X) assigned to 36 respectively have the same production time. Also, the sound generated by the sound control unit 230 in accordance with the effect image is different between the case where the jackpot normal effect table 260a or the jackpot benefit 1 effect table 260b is referred to and the case where the jackpot benefit 2 effect table 260c is referenced. . In addition, the jackpot bonus 2 effect table 260c of the present embodiment has any variation pattern No. Even if is selected, the characters “Y” and “Z” do not appear, and some contents of the jackpot bonus 1 effect table 260b are replaced with special effects (SP1, SP2).

  As shown in FIG. 65-No. The production mode is assigned so as to correspond to the variation pattern commands up to 127 on a one-to-one basis. For example, the variation pattern No. 65, “No reach A” indicates a change pattern No. 66, “No reach B” indicates a change pattern No. 81, “Normal reach A” is the fluctuation pattern No. 85, “Long reach A (X)” is the variation pattern No. 127 is assigned “super super reach B (Z)”. As described above, the loss normal effect table 260d is configured to include a lot of effects without reach.

  The lost bonus 1 effect table 260e is a customized bonus effect used in place of the lost normal effect table 260d only when the player inputs a password in which the first customization information is encrypted to the pachinko machine P. FIG. 16 shows an example of the loss benefit 1 effect table 260e in the case of the character “X” custom mini. In addition, the lose benefit 2 effect table 260f is a customization use that is used in place of the lose normal effect table 260d only when the player inputs a password in which the second customization information is encrypted to the pachinko machine P. FIG. 17 shows an example of the loss benefit 2 effect table 260f in the case of the privilege effect table and the character “X” custom DX. In the same way as the big hit bonus 1 table 260b and the big hit bonus 2 stage table 260c, the loss bonus 1 stage table 260e and the lost bonus 2 stage table 260f are more frequent than the normal base table 260d for the lost game. It is set to be high. Further, the loss benefit 2 effect table 260f is set so that a special effect by a specific character is executed, like the bonus game 2 effect table 260c. In this embodiment, for one character, a bonus 1 effect table (a bonus game 1 effect table and a lost bonus 1 effect table) and a bonus 2 effect table (a jackpot bonus 2 effect table and a lost bonus 2) are provided. 1) each, but a plurality of types of privilege 1 effect table and privilege 2 effect table may be provided. In this case, on the WEB site, the player selects one character and selects one of a plurality of customizations prepared for the character, and a password corresponding to the selected customization (privilege 1 to be used). The WEB application server 500 may issue a password including customization information specifying the effect table or the privilege 2 effect table.

  In the history information storage area 290, game history information, for example, the number of variations of special symbols, the number of occurrences of jackpots, the type of variation pattern at the time of jackpot occurrence, the number of consecutive resorts, the number of reach, point values and experience values described later The level value and the like are sequentially stored by the game record control unit 240 according to the progress of the game, with a password authentication success at the start of the game as a start condition.

  In the image data storage area 270, menu image data, variation effect image data, background image data, character image data, various button image data, and the like are stored in advance. These image data are read and used when the display control unit 220 generates an effect image and a menu screen.

  As described above, the effect mode determination unit 210 refers to one of the effect tables 260 a to 260 f stored in the effect mode storage unit 260 based on the variation pattern command received from the main control processing unit 11. Decide the production to use for the game. The variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern command is the variation pattern No. 1-No. In the case of 64, the effect mode determination unit 210 is set to ON in the normal effect flag FG1, the privilege 1 effect flag FG2 or the privilege 2 effect flag FG3 in the flag setting area 310 among the jackpot effect tables 260a to 260c. An effect is determined with reference to the jackpot effect table corresponding to the flag. Similarly, the variation pattern indicated by the variation pattern command is the variation pattern No. 65-No. In the case of 127, the effect mode determining unit 210 is set to ON in the normal effect flag FG1, the benefit 1 effect flag FG2 or the benefit 2 effect flag FG3 in the flag setting area 310 in the loss effect effect tables 260d to 260f. The effect is determined with reference to the lost effect table corresponding to the flag. Further, the effect mode determination unit 210 updates and stores the game history information in the history information storage area 290 in accordance with the determination of the effect.

  The game performance control unit 240 refers to the game history information in the history information storage area 290 every predetermined time, converts the game history information into a point value according to a preset predetermined point conversion program, and records the converted point value as a history. Accumulate and store in the information storage area 290. FIG. 18 shows the point value addition conditions. For example, regarding changes in special symbols, “1” for each change without support (one change of special symbol), and if there is no big hit for more than 500 times, every change without support If “2” does not occur continuously for 10,000 or more jackpots, “3” for each change without support, “1” for each change in support, “2” is added for each change without support from 50 to 50 times.

Furthermore, the point value addition condition satisfies one of the necessary conditions for adding the minimum value “1” at the time of execution of the variation of each special symbol, and the minimum depending on the achievement status in the following gaming state. You may make it increase the addition value more than value "1".
(1) The type of fluctuation state of the lottery probability at the time of execution of a specific symbol variation (for example, a low probability variation state or high probability variation state of a special symbol, a low probability variation state or a high probability variation state of a normal symbol)
(2) Types of production modes (variation patterns) determined by the production mode determination unit 210 (for example, types of reach modes (normal, long, premier, etc.), types of pseudo-continuous fluctuations that stop and start fluctuations in a pseudo manner, etc. )
(3) Special symbol type determined by the special symbol lottery unit 110 (for example, per type, even number, odd number, 2R, 15R, small hit, etc.)
(4) Types of presentation mode (variation pattern) that led to winning (for example, when winning through Premier Reach)
(5) Number of continuation of jackpots when the jackpot is continuously generated by shifting to a specific state after the jackpot (for example, a probability change state, a latent state in which no transition is made, or a time-short state) ) A plurality of specific images (for example, characters) are set in advance, and one specific image is determined by a notice lottery executed according to the result of the special symbol lottery. The type of the specific image in the case where the above-determined specific symbol appears at the notice display timing that suggests a jackpot (7) A specific gaming state (for example, a state without change, a latent state, or a predetermined after a jackpot The number of continuations of special symbol fluctuations in the section (period) etc.), the number of continuations of normal symbol fluctuations, or the total number of continuations of both. The game performance control unit 240 refers to the game history information in the history information storage area 290 every predetermined time, converts the game history information into experience values according to a predetermined experience value conversion program set in advance, and converts the experience The value is accumulated in the history information storage area 290 and stored. FIG. 19 shows the experience value addition conditions. For example, regarding the change of special symbol, “3” for every change without support (one change of special design), if there is no big hit more than 500 times, every change without support If the jackpot is not continuously generated more than 10,000 times, “9” is “5” for each change without support, “1” for each change in support, and the short-time gaming state is ended. “5” is added for each change without support from 50 to 50 times. Thus, the experience value addition condition is different from the point value addition condition.

  The experience value addition condition includes a minimum value “3” that is greater than the minimum value “1” that is added at the time of execution of each variation of the special symbol in the point value, and during a specific gaming state (for example, The increase rate to be added according to the number of continuations of the special symbol change in the non-supported change state, the latent state, and the predetermined section after the jackpot) is improved (increased) as compared with the point value addition condition.

  That is, the experience value addition condition is less affected by the achievement status of the game state at the time of the execution of the variation than the point value addition condition, and the experience value is added according to the achievement status of the number of continuations in the predetermined game state The addition rate is easily improved (so as to increase).

  In addition, even in the experience value addition condition, in the case of a specific effect (for example, a premier effect) or a specific jackpot (for example, a hit type that provides a predetermined number of balls or more), the experience value addition rate in terms of service You may make it improve.

  The game performance control unit 240 determines whether or not a condition for increasing the level value is satisfied each time the experience value is accumulated. FIG. 20 shows the level-up conditions. For example, when the current level value is “1”, when the experience value reaches “200”, the game performance control unit 240 updates the level value to “2”. In addition, the game performance control unit 240 clears the experience value accumulated so far when the level value is updated.

  In addition, when the effect mode determining unit 210 determines the effect mode with reference to the jackpot privilege 1 effect table 260b and the loss benefit 1 effect table 260e (when the privilege 1 effect flag FG2 is on), game performance control is performed. The unit 240 refers to the game history information in the history information storage area 290 every predetermined time, and determines whether or not the mission achievement requirement (shown in the remarks column of FIG. 4) is satisfied according to a predetermined mission determination program set in advance. If it is determined and it is determined that the mission achievement requirement is satisfied, the corresponding mission achievement flag FG4 is set to ON. For example, when the special symbol variation count reaches 1000 rotations in a state in which the production mode is customized by the character “X” custom mini (the privilege 1 production flag FG2 (X) is on), the game performance control unit 240 transmits the mission The achievement flag FG4 (X) is set to ON.

Note that the following requirements may be included as appropriate as mission achievement requirements set in advance.
(1) The character customized by the character custom mini has appeared in a premier manner at the notice display display timing. (2) During the jackpot, the character customized by the character custom mini has appeared in a premier manner, or The music related to the character has been executed (output) (3) A predetermined gaming state (for example, within a predetermined number of fluctuations after the jackpot state, the total number of special symbol fluctuations exceeds a certain number, and a predetermined lottery probability (4) that a specific effect mode (variation pattern) has been executed a predetermined number of times (4) that a big hit has occurred again in a predetermined gaming state. The display control unit 220 determines the effect mode The image data is stored in the image data storage area 270 based on the effect mode determined by the unit 210. Read to generate an effect image on the display device 34 as a game execution screen.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (a), the effect image (game execution screen) is a dummy symbol DM1, DM2, DM3 that changes in synchronization with the special symbol that is displayed in a varying manner on the special symbol display device 17 and that is displayed in a stopped state. (Directional design) is included. The effect symbols DM1, DM2, DM3 are stopped and displayed as finalized effect symbols at the end of each effect (at the end of the effect generated by one special symbol lottery) in synchronization with the stop result of the special symbol. .

  In the present embodiment, the display area of the plurality of effect symbols DM1, DM2, DM3 is reduced by the start of the reach effect, the animation change by a predetermined character is set as the main display, and the reduced effect symbol display area is set after the end of the animation change. Returning to the original size, the result of the jackpot lottery (whether it is a jackpot or lost) is notified by the combination of the stopped production symbols DM1, DM2, DM3.

  Note that the display control unit 220 displays the game execution screen when starting the presentation based on the variation pattern command received from the main control processing unit 11 even when any screen other than the game execution screen is displayed. The effect image including the change stop of the effect symbol is displayed.

  The display control unit 220 sets a level display area 620 at a predetermined position on the game execution screen, and in this level display area 620, the current level value (level value stored in the history information storage area 290) and the experience value meter 621 are displayed. Is displayed. The experience value meter 621 is a meter for displaying the experience value stored in the history information storage area 290. The experience value meter 621 is divided by 10 levels of memory, and the lighting display of the memory is increased step by step as the experience value increases. For example, when the experience level increases every time the experience value reaches “100”, the lighting display is increased by one memory every time the experience value reaches “10”, and the level increases every time the experience value reaches “300”. Each time the experience value reaches “30”, the lighting display is increased by one memory. Further, when the game achievement control unit 240 determines that the mission achievement requirement has been established, the display control unit 220 displays an image (for example, “Mission clear!” Characters) informing the mission achievement at a predetermined position on the game execution screen.

  Furthermore, a player who has already been registered as a member and wants to customize the production mode with the pachinko machine P accesses the WEB application server 500 for customization, acquires a password, and inputs the acquired password.

  When the regular password is input, in the pachinko machine P, the display control unit 220 determines that the authentication is successful, and the game performance control unit 240 stores the level value included in the decrypted password in the history information storage area 290, and the game History information storage processing is started. When the decrypted password (game start information) includes customization information, the effect mode determination unit 210 customizes the effect corresponding to the customization information. For example, when the password includes customization information of the character “X” custom mini, the effect mode determination unit 210 sets the normal effect flag FG1 to off and the privilege 1 effect flag FG2 (X) to on. When the password includes customization information of the character “X” custom DX, the normal effect flag FG1 is set to OFF and the privilege 2 effect flag FG3 (X) is set to ON.

  When the player plays a game, the game record control unit 240 starts the storage process of the game history information according to the game record based on the game process executed by the main control processing unit 11. In the game history information storing process, the point values common to the models are accumulated and stored in accordance with the game results, and the level values unique to the models are leveled up and stored in accordance with the game results. The level value is increased by accumulating model-specific experience values according to the game results and increasing the level value step by step every time the accumulated experience value reaches a predetermined threshold. Is called. The display control unit 220 displays the level value in the level display area 620 and reflects the experience value in the experience value meter 621 for display.

  Further, when the production mode of the pachinko machine P is customized by the custom mini, and the production mode determination unit 210 determines the production mode with reference to the bonus game 1 production table 260b and the lost bonus 1 production table 260e (privilege) When the 1 performance flag FG2 is on), the game performance control unit 240 refers to the game history information in the history information storage area 290 every predetermined time, and has the mission achievement requirement (shown in the remarks column of FIG. 4) been established? If it is determined whether the mission achievement requirement is satisfied, the corresponding mission achievement flag FG4 is set to ON. For example, when the special symbol variation count reaches 1000 rotations in a state in which the production mode is customized by the character “X” custom mini (the privilege 1 production flag FG2 (X) is on), the game performance control unit 240 transmits the mission The achievement flag FG4 (X) is set to ON. When the game achievement control unit 240 determines that the mission achievement requirement has been established, the display control unit 220 displays an image for notifying the mission achievement (for example, “Mission Clear!”) At a predetermined position on the game execution screen.

  When ending the game, the player operates the input operation unit 60 to display the system menu screen, selects the two-dimensional code issue button 605, and presses it. In response to the pressing operation of the two-dimensional code issue button 605, a two-dimensional code issue screen including the two-dimensional code 100 is displayed, and the player takes an image of the two-dimensional code 100 with the mobile phone 400 owned by the player, and the WEB application The server 500 is accessed to perform update registration (data update) of game results (game history information).

  According to the present embodiment, the player inputs a password to the pachinko machine P at the start of the game, inputs an instruction to issue a two-dimensional code at the end of the game, images the two-dimensional code with the mobile phone 400, and WEB By accessing the application server 500, it is possible to update its own point value and level value managed by the WEB application server 500 according to the game results.

  Further, when the game history information acquired from the mobile phone 400 is updated and stored, the WEB application server 500 generates a password by encoding the game start information including the updated level value, and the generated password is stored in the mobile terminal. Therefore, the player can obtain the password to be input at the next game when updating the data at the end of the game.

  In addition, a player who has acquired custom information of a custom mini of a favorite character based on a game performance on the pachinko machine P (model 1) can enjoy the effect on the custom mini by that character. In addition, you can obtain custom DX custom information based on your game performance with a custom mini, and enjoy the effects of your favorite character on the custom DX.

  In addition, the point value common to the model increases according to the player's game performance in any one of a plurality of pachinko machines of different models, whereas the level value unique to the model 1 is the pachinko machine of the model 1 It increases according to the game performance in P. A player whose acquired point value (point value stored in the member database) is not less than a predetermined point value and whose acquired level value (level value stored in the member database) is not less than a predetermined level value is: Benefit information (customized information) related to the pachinko machine P of model 1 can be acquired via the mobile phone 400. That is, since a player who wants to acquire privilege information related to the model 1 pachinko machine P must always play a game on the model 1 pachinko machine P, the value of the privilege information can be prevented from being lowered. In addition, since the game results in the pachinko machine P of the model 1 are reflected in the point value common to the models, when the game machine model in the amusement hall is updated and replaced, it becomes impossible to play the game using the pachinko machine of the model 1 Even if the player's interest has shifted from the model 1 to another model, the player can effectively use the acquired point value, so the player's willingness to acquire the point value Can be prevented. Therefore, the privilege related to the pachinko machine P of the model 1 can be effectively provided to the player.

  In addition, point values common to models that are not subject to game period restrictions are subtracted by providing bonus information to the player, but model-specific level values that are subject to game period restrictions are It remains as it is without being subtracted by provision. Therefore, a predetermined level value that is a condition for granting privilege information can be set step by step, and a privilege with high value can be provided step by step as the predetermined level value increases (rises). It is possible to provide the player with the benefits related to the game more effectively.

  As mentioned above, although the embodiment to which the invention made by the present inventor is applied has been described, the present invention is not limited by the discussion and the drawings that form part of the disclosure of the present invention according to this embodiment.

  For example, the pachinko machine P may generate and display a password obtained by encrypting (encoding) game performance information instead of the two-dimensional code. In this case, the player inputs the password when accessing the WEB application server 500, and the WEB application server 500 may decode the input password.

  Further, the web application server 500 may be configured to execute part or all of the point value accumulation, the experience value accumulation, and the level value increase performed by the pachinko machine P.

  The pachinko machine P detects a password input as a game start input and detects a two-dimensional code issuance instruction as a game end input. However, the password input and the game start input are input separately. Alternatively, the two-dimensional code issuance instruction and the game end input may be input separately.

  Moreover, the privilege related to the pachinko machine P provided by the game system is not limited to the customization of the effect, and may be another privilege such as provision of a special image of the character, for example.
