The shutter 14 is operated by a prize winning solenoid (hereinafter simply referred to as “solenoid”) 15 to open and close the V zone 11 and the entrances of the passages 12 and 13.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the game board 3 is provided with a start port switch 18, a V zone switch 19 and a count switch 20. The start port switch 18 detects winning of the game ball B to the first type start port 4. The V zone switch 19 detects the winning of the game ball B into the V zone 11, and the count switch 20 detects the winning of the game ball B into the big winning opening 6. Further, a control device 21, a symbol display control board 22, and a communication control board 30 are provided in order to drive and control the solenoid 15 and the display device 5 based on the detection results of the switches 18 to 20, respectively. The control device 21 includes a main board that performs main control of the pachinko machine 1 and various sub-boards such as a volume control board, an LED board, and a payout control board. The symbol display control board 22 is one of the sub-boards, and includes a CPU 23, a ROM 24, and a RAM 26 as main components (see FIG. 3), and displays based on signals input from the main board and the communication control board 30. The drive of the apparatus 5 is controlled. The ROM 24 stores a message table including symbol display data, effect moving image data, and various message data. As will be described later, a player unspecified state message table 25a and a player specified state are also described. The round effect message table 25 including the message table 25b for use is stored.

  In this embodiment, a communication control board 30 is further provided as one of the sub-boards, and control of communication processing performed with the mobile phone 200 via the infrared light emitting unit 33 and the infrared light receiving unit 34 is performed. Done. A specific configuration of the communication control board 30 will be described later. Each control board includes a read-only memory (ROM), a central processing unit (CPU), a random access memory (RAM), and the like. The ROM stores a predetermined control program and initial data in advance, and the CPU controls the ROM. Various arithmetic processes are executed according to a program or the like. The RAM temporarily stores the calculation result by the CPU. In order to prevent an illegal signal from being input to the main board, the signal is transmitted in only one direction from the main board to each sub board.

  As one of the controls by the CPU, there is a so-called probability variation in which the occurrence probability of the big hit gaming state is varied according to the condition. Specifically, a low probability mode that generates a jackpot gaming state with a low probability of about 1/300, and a high probability mode that generates a jackpot gaming state with a high probability of about 1/60, which is about five times as high The probability mode is switched according to the type of jackpot symbol. That is, if the jackpot symbol is a predetermined special symbol (eg, odd symbol), the high probability mode is set, and if it is a predetermined normal symbol (eg, even symbol), the low probability mode is set. Note that the multiple of the occurrence probability in the high probability mode with respect to the occurrence probability in the low probability mode may be a value other than the above-described value (about 5).

  An external connection terminal plate 16 is connected to the output port of the CPU. The external connection terminal board 16 includes output terminals 16A to 16E for the hall management computer connected to the hall management computer and output terminals 16a to 16e for the communication control board connected to the communication control board 30. Yes.

  Here, the output terminals 16A and 16a output a “probability changing signal” indicating that the high probability mode described above is being performed. Further, the output terminals 16B and 16b output a “big hit signal” indicating that a big hit is being generated. Further, the output terminals 16C and 16c output a “probability change jackpot signal” indicating that a jackpot is being generated by a predetermined special symbol (for example, an odd symbol). Further, the output terminals 16D and 16d output a “firing switch signal” indicating whether or not the game ball B is being fired by the ball launching device. If the “fire switch signal” is on, the game ball B is being fired (in other words, a game is being performed). If it is off, the game ball B is not fired. (In other words, the game is stopped). Further, the output terminals 16E and 16e output a “symbol variation signal” indicating that a symbol variation has occurred in the display device 5 when the game ball B wins the first type starting port 4.

  The communication control board 30 is a circuit board on which an electronic control circuit for performing infrared communication with the mobile phone 200 as a mobile communication terminal possessed by the player. More specifically, the communication control board 30 includes an interface circuit (I / F) 35, a CPU 36, a ROM 37, and a RAM 38, as shown in the block diagram of FIG. A provided notification lamp 31, an infrared light emitting unit 33 as information output means, a player specifying information input means and an infrared light receiving unit 34 as output request input means are respectively connected.

  The notification lamp 31 is a lamp for visually notifying the player that a service point can be transmitted. The notification lamp 31 is turned on when there is a service point that can be transmitted, and is turned off when there is no service point. Further, the notification lamp 31 blinks while the service point is being transmitted from the infrared light emitting unit 33, and is turned off when the transmission is completed. The 1st infrared sensor 32a and the 2nd infrared sensor 32b are comprised by the well-known infrared sensor for detecting the approach of an object using infrared rays. When a message asking the player to select “Yes” or “No” is displayed on the display device 5 and a hand is held over any one of the infrared sensors, the first infrared sensor 32a or the second infrared sensor 32b is displayed. Detects that the hand is held over and the player makes a selection. The infrared light emitting unit 33 is a light emitting device for transmitting a service point or the like as an infrared signal to the mobile phone 200. The infrared light receiving unit 34 is a light receiving device for receiving an infrared signal as a player specific password or a service point transmission request (output request) signal transmitted from the mobile phone 200. Since the infrared signal has directivity, the infrared light receiving unit 208 and the infrared light emitting unit 209 of the mobile phone 200 are opposed to the infrared light emitting unit 33 and the infrared light receiving unit 34 on the pachinko machine 1 side. Infrared communication is performed between the pachinko machine 1 and the mobile phone 200. Moreover, since an infrared signal is output toward the front (player side) from the infrared light emitting unit 33, the infrared signal does not interfere between adjacent pachinko machines. The interface unit 35 is connected to the output terminals 16a to 16e for the communication control board of the external connection terminal board 16 through the communication line, and the “probability changing signal”, “big hit signal”, “probability changing” output from each terminal, respectively. This is an electronic circuit that inputs a “hit signal”, “launch switch signal”, and “design variation signal” to the CPU 36.

  The CPU 36 is a control device for controlling each part of the communication control board 30 and reads a control program from the ROM 37 and executes it. The ROM 37 is a read-only storage medium that stores a control program for controlling each part of the communication control board 30 and various data. The RAM 38 has a work area used by the CPU 36, a point buffer 38f and a point storage area 38g, a player specific password storage area 38c, a transmission buffer 38d for service point transmission, and an internal random number counter 38x for determining the number of points. It is a rewritable storage medium. The non-volatile memory 39 is a writable non-volatile storage medium for storing in a non-volatile manner a service point counter 39b that is counted up each time a service point to be described later is transmitted. The value of the service point counter 39b stored in the nonvolatile memory 39 is stored and retained even after the pachinko machine 1 is powered off. The point accumulation area 38g constitutes output information storage means of the present invention, the player specific password storage area 38c constitutes player identification information storage means, and the internal random number counter 38x constitutes random number generation means.

  Next, the configuration of the mobile phone 200 that performs infrared communication with the pachinko machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. As shown in the front view of FIG. 4, the mobile phone 200 includes a case 202, a key operation unit 204, a liquid crystal panel (display unit) 206, an infrared light receiving unit 208, and an infrared light emitting unit 209. The key operation unit 204 is disposed on the front case unit 203 of the case 202, and includes a cross key, a power key, a function key, an on-hook key (start key), a clear key, and a character / number key (ten key). It is configured. The liquid crystal panel 206 is disposed inside an opening 202 a formed in the case 202. The infrared light receiving unit 208 is disposed on the left side 202b of the case 202 together with the infrared light emitting unit 209.

  Next, the electric circuit configuration of the mobile phone 200 will be described with reference to the block diagram of FIG. In addition to the liquid crystal panel 206, the infrared light receiving unit 208, and the infrared light emitting unit 209, the mobile phone 200 includes a wireless unit 210, an audio circuit 212, a receiver 214, a microphone 216, a transmission / reception antenna 218, a nonvolatile memory 220, a control unit (micro Computer) 222 and secondary battery 224. The radio unit 210 is controlled by the control unit 222 to transmit / receive to / from the base station using radio waves as a medium through the transmission / reception antenna 218. The audio circuit 212 outputs the reception signal output from the radio unit 210 through the control unit 222 to the receiver 214 and outputs the audio signal output from the microphone 216 to the radio unit 210 through the control unit 222 as a transmission signal. The receiver 214 converts the reception signal output from the audio circuit 212 into reception audio and outputs it. The microphone 216 converts the transmission audio emitted from the operator into an audio signal and outputs it to the audio circuit 212. The nonvolatile memory 220 stores various data and various programs in a nonvolatile manner. The secondary battery 224 supplies power to each circuit. The control unit 222 includes a microcomputer including a CPU, a ROM, and a RAM, and performs telephone call processing, e-mail creation / transmission processing, and Internet processing.

  Note that a service point reception program for receiving service points from the pachinko machine 1 is downloaded from, for example, the Internet homepage operated by a gaming machine manufacturer or the like and stored in the nonvolatile memory 220. At this time, by registering as a member of a gaming machine maker or the like, a player specifying password including player name information is given as player specifying information and stored in the nonvolatile memory 220. The player specific password is given as “X0012345 Yamada Taro”, for example. Here, “X00” represents a header indicating a player specific password, “12345” represents a membership number, and “Yamada Taro” represents a player's name. In this example, “Yamada Taro” corresponds to information related to the player's name of the present invention and character string data of the player's name. Here, when the player is specified from the cellular phone 200 to the pachinko machine 1, the player specifying password is transmitted as an infrared signal from the infrared light emitting unit 209. On the other hand, when a service point transmission request (output request) is made to the pachinko machine 1, the player specific password is transmitted from the infrared light emitting unit 209 together with the transmission request signal.

  Next, the operation and effect of the pachinko machine 1 configured as described above will be described. The flowcharts of FIGS. 6 to 8 and 16 show various routines executed by the control device 21. Each processing of these routines is executed based on the counter group and the flag F. The counter group includes a round counter R, a winning counter P, and a probability variation counter C. The round counter R is for counting the number of rounds, and the winning counter P is for counting the number of winning game balls B to the big winning opening 6 based on the detection result of the count switch 20. The probability variation counter C is used to determine the end of the high probability mode, and takes values of “2”, “1”, and “0”. Note that the initial values of the counters R, P, and C are all “0”.

  In addition, the counter group includes an internal random number counter for determining occurrence of a big hit gaming state, an outreach random number counter for determining outreach, etc., a respective symbol counter for determining stop symbols, and a reach And a reach type counter for determining the type of operation. Here, the outreach by the outreach random number counter refers to a state in which the winning combination is not finally made after the above-described reach gaming state. The flag F is used to determine whether or not the game ball B has won a prize in the V zone 11, and is set to “0” when no prize is detected by the V zone switch 19, and when a prize is detected. Set to “1”. Although it has already been described that there are two types of probability modes, a low probability mode and a high probability mode, a low probability mode is set as an initial value.

  Now, when the game is started by the player, the control device 21 starts with the first type of the game ball B based on the detection result of the start port switch 18 in step S10 of the special electric accessory control routine of FIG. It is determined whether or not there is a winning at the start port 4. If this determination condition is not satisfied, the special electric accessory control routine is terminated, and if it is satisfied, each value of the internal random number counter and the outlier reach random number counter is acquired and the value of each symbol counter is set in step S20. On the basis of the symbol sequences 8 to 10, the symbol is removed and acquired. Acquisition here refers to a process of reading the value of each counter and storing the value in a memory.

  Next, a symbol variation start process is executed in step S30. Specifically, in step S31 of FIG. 8, the symbols in the symbol rows 8 to 10 are variably displayed on the display device 5, respectively. This display makes it appear to the player that the three reels of left, middle and right are rotating. In step S32, it is determined whether or not the value of the internal random number counter is the same as the jackpot value. As the jackpot value, two types of values (low probability jackpot value and high probability jackpot value) are prepared. The former is a value for generating the jackpot gaming state with the low probability described above, and the latter is a value for generating with a high probability. For example, when the internal random number counter is a value that is updated every predetermined time in the range of “0” to “299”, “7” is set as the low probability jackpot value, and “7”, “17” , “27”, “37”, “47” are the jackpot values for high probability. Then, the probability that the jackpot gaming state will be 1/300 when the low probability jackpot value is used as the jackpot value, and 1/60 when the high probability jackpot value is used as the jackpot value. When the low probability mode is set in the previous control cycle, the low probability jackpot value is selected as the jackpot value. When the high probability mode is set, the high probability jackpot value is selected as the jackpot value.

  If the determination condition of step S32 is satisfied, the big hit symbol corresponding to the big hit value is stored in the memory as a stop symbol in step S33. On the other hand, if the determination condition in step S32 is not satisfied, it is determined in step S34 whether or not the value of the outreach random number counter is the same as the predetermined outreach value. If this determination condition is satisfied, in step S35, a symbol corresponding to the detach reach value (hereinafter referred to as “disconnect reach symbol”) is stored in the memory as a stop symbol. If the determination condition in step S34 is not satisfied, the off symbol in step S20 is stored in the memory as a stop symbol in step S36. Then, after storing the stop symbol in the above steps S33, S35, S36, the symbol variation start processing routine is terminated. After the process of step S30 (symbol variation start process) is performed as described above, the symbols in the left and right symbol rows 8 and 10 are stored in any of the steps S33, S35, and S36 in step S40 of FIG. Replace with the stopped symbol. The symbol fluctuations in the left and right symbol rows 8 and 10 are stopped by the symbol after replacement.

  In step S43, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination in the left and right symbol rows 8 and 10 is a reach combination (same symbol). If this determination condition is not satisfied, the special electric accessory control routine is terminated, and if it is satisfied, reach effect display processing is performed in step S45. Specifically, in the reach effect display processing routine shown in FIG. 9 executed in the communication control board 30, it is first determined in step S450 whether or not the player identification flag YF is ON. Here, the player specifying flag YF is ON when the player specifying password transmitted from the mobile phone 200 is received by the infrared light receiving unit 34 and the player is specified, and the player is not specified. Is a flag that is OFF and is managed in the communication control board 30. If this determination is not satisfied (step S450: No), a display command is transmitted to the symbol display control board 22 in step S453, and a reach effect display for a player unspecified state is performed. FIG. 10A shows an example of a reach effect display for a player unspecified state. On the other hand, if this determination is satisfied (step S450: Yes), in step S451, name data (character code string) included in the player specific password stored in the player specific password storage area 38c is acquired, In step S452, a display command is transmitted to the symbol display control board 22 using the acquired name data, and a reach effect display for the player specific state is performed. FIG. 10B shows an example of reach effect display for the player specific state using the name data. The symbol display control board 22 is provided with a character generator (not shown), and the name is displayed in the display device 5 via the character generator using a character code string of the player name obtained from the player specific password. Display is performed.

  Here, in the reach effect display for the player unspecified state in FIG. 10A, the balloon message from the character on the right side of the screen is “Leach!” And a message is displayed indicating that the reach has been reached. We are reporting. On the other hand, in the reach effect display for the player specific state in FIG. 10B, “Yamada Taro, Reach!” (“Yamada Taro” is the name data obtained from the player specific password). Thus, the player's name is incorporated in the message indicating the reach and the player's name is displayed on the display device 5, so that the player's attention is further enhanced.

  In step S50, the symbol fluctuation in the middle symbol row 9 is stopped. Subsequently, in step S60, it is determined whether or not the symbol combination is a jackpot combination. If this determination condition is not satisfied, the special electric accessory control routine is terminated. If it is satisfied, a big hit signal ON is output to the output terminals 16B and 16b in step S70. Further, in step S80, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (in this case, an odd symbol). If the symbol is a special symbol (step S80: Yes), the probability variation jackpot signal ON is output in step S90. Output to 16C and 16c. Subsequently, in step S95, a big hit effect / lottery display process is performed. Specifically, in the jackpot effect / lottery display process shown in FIG. 11 executed on the communication control board 30, it is first determined in step S950 whether or not the player identification flag YF is ON. If this determination is not satisfied (step S950: No), a big hit effect display for a player unspecified state is performed by transmitting a display command to the symbol display control board 22 in step S953. FIG. 12A shows an example of a jackpot effect display for a player unspecified state on the display device 5 (left side to center region of the screen 5a). On the other hand, if this determination is satisfied (step S950: Yes), in step S951, name data is acquired from the player specific password stored in the player specific password storage area 38c, and the acquired in step S952. The big hit effect display for the player specific state is performed using the name data. FIG. 12B shows an example of the jackpot effect display for the player specific state using the name data (the left side to the center area of the screen 5a).

  Here, in the big hit effect display for the player unspecified state in FIG. 12A, the message is “hit”, and the occurrence of the big hit is notified by the message display. On the other hand, in the jackpot effect display for the player specific state in FIG. 12B, “Yamada Taro big hit” (“Yamada Taro” is the name data acquired from the player specific password) The player's name is incorporated in the message indicating the occurrence, and the player's name is displayed on the display device 5, thereby providing an effect that further draws the player's attention.

  Next, in step S954, a display command is transmitted to the symbol display control board 22 to perform a roulette fluctuation display start process for service point lottery. That is, a circular roulette 5c is displayed in the lottery effect area 5b on the right side of the screen 5a, and the fan-shaped first area 5d, second area 5e, third area 5f, and fourth area 5g obtained by dividing the roulette 5c into six parts. For each of the fifth area 5h and the sixth area 5i, the highlight display is sequentially moved clockwise every predetermined time, thereby performing an effect display that makes it appear as if the roulette is rotating to the player. FIGS. 12A and 12B show a state where the first area 5d is highlighted.

  Subsequently, in step S955, based on the internal random number counter 38x for determining the number of points, the highlight display stop position in the roulette (that is, one of the first area 5d to the sixth area 5i) is stored in the RAM 38. To do. For example, when the internal random number counter updates the value every predetermined time in the range of “0” to “119”, the remainder obtained by dividing the value of the internal random number counter 38x by “6” is “1”. The first region 5d, the second region 5e when the remainder is "2", the third region 5f when the remainder is "3", and the fourth region when the remainder is "4". 5g is stored as the stop position in the fifth area 5h when the remainder is "5", and the sixth area 5i is stored as the stop position when the remainder is "0". Subsequently, in step S956, the roulette variation display is stopped based on the previously stored stop position, and the lottery result is notified by blinking the highlight display at the stop position. Here, in step S957, it is determined whether or not the stop position is other than the sixth area 5i which is a loss area. If the stop position is other than the loss area (step S957: Yes), in step S958, the number of points associated with the first area 5d to the fifth area 5i at the stop position is stored in the point buffer 38f, and the process returns. That is, when the stop position is the first area 5d, 10 points, 20 points for the second area 5e, 30 points for the third area 5f, 40 points for the fourth area 5g, In the case of 5 areas 5h, 50 points are stored in the point buffer 38f. On the other hand, if the stop position is the loss area (sixth area 5i), the process returns as it is. The display device 5 on which roulette display is performed constitutes the lottery result notifying means and the lottery effect means of the present invention, and the processing of steps S954 to S958 functions as the lottery means of the present invention.

  Next, in step S100, the round counter R is reset. In step S110, the winning counter P is reset and the flag F is set to “0”. Subsequently, the solenoid 15 is excited in step S120 of FIG. Then, the shutter 14 falls and the passage entrance of the special winning opening 6 is opened. With this opening, the game ball B can be awarded to the V zone 11 and the passages 12 and 13. In step S130, the round counter R is incremented by "1".

  Next, in step S135, round effect screen display processing is performed according to the value of the round counter R. Specifically, in the round effect screen display process shown in FIG. 13A executed on the symbol display control board 22, first, in step S1330, the round effect screen data corresponding to the value of the round counter R is displayed as the symbol display control board 22. In step S1331, the round effect screen (screen configuration excluding the count value and the lower message in the display examples of FIGS. 14 and 15) is obtained based on the acquired round effect screen data and hit data. After displaying (part), the process returns to the special electric accessory control routine. Subsequently, in step S135, a counter value and a message are displayed.

  Specifically, in the counter value / message display routine in FIG. 13B, first, in step S1350, the value of the counter P is displayed at a predetermined position in the upper part of the round effect screen. Next, in step S1351, it is determined whether or not the player identification flag YF is ON. If this determination is not satisfied (step S1351: No), in step S1353, a message table 25a for the player unspecified state in the round effect message table 25 provided on the ROM mounted on the symbol display control board 22 ( 3), a message for the player unspecified state corresponding to the round counter R is acquired, and the acquired message is displayed at the bottom of the round effect screen in step S1354. The round effect message table 25 is composed of a player unspecified message table 25a and a player specified message table 25b. The message “first round message, second round message, third round message” respectively. The message table stores message data displayed in each round. FIG. 14A shows an example of the round effect display for the player unspecified state (display example of the first round), and FIG. 15A shows another example (display example of the third round). Is shown. On the other hand, if this determination is satisfied (step S1351: Yes), in step S1352, the player specific state message corresponding to the round counter R is output from the player specific state message table 25b of the round effect message table 25. In step S1354, the acquired message is displayed at the bottom of the round effect screen. FIG. 14B shows an example (display example of the first round) of the round effect display for the player specific state using the message data, and FIG. 15B shows another example (third round of display). Display example).

  Here, in the round effect display (first round) for the player unspecified state in FIG. 14A, the display of the number of rounds, the number of counts, the hits, etc., and the symbols set in advance for each round are displayed. In addition, a message “Please send your password! >>> You can participate in various Grand Prix with the received information” is displayed. On the other hand, in the round effect display (first round) for the player specific state in FIG. 14B, the symbol display similar to that in FIG. >>> If you rank in the top, you will get a luxury prize. " In addition, in the round effect display for the player unspecified state (third round) in FIG. 15A, the number of rounds, the number of counts, the hits, and the like, and the symbols set in advance for each round are displayed. , The message “Please send me your password! >>> Points will be accumulated with the received information.” Is displayed. On the other hand, in the round effect display for the player specific state shown in FIG. 15B, the same symbol display as in FIG. There are lots of prizes such as ... Please see our homepage for details. "

  As described above, when the player is not specified, the transmission of the player specifying password is prompted, and the merit obtained by transmitting the password and receiving the service point is notified by a message. On the other hand, when the player specifying password has already been transmitted and the player has been specified, useful and more specific information for the specified player is notified by a message. In other words, the contents of the effect on the display device 5 are changed depending on whether or not the player is specified, and a more effective effect is performed according to the player specifying situation. Note that when a big hit gaming state occurs without entering a player specific password, a message display for the player unspecified state (FIGS. 14A and 15A) is performed. When the player specifying password is transmitted from the mobile phone 200 and the player is specified by the pachinko machine 1 during the round (that is, during the round effect screen display), the counter value / message display of FIG. While the process is repeatedly called and executed in the special electric accessory control routine, the determination in step S1351 changes from No to Yes, so that a message display for a player unspecified state (FIG. 14 (a), FIG. The message display is immediately switched from the message display (15 (a)) to the message display for the player specific state (FIGS. 14 (b) and 15 (b)). Accordingly, it is possible to make the player recognize that the input of the player specific password has been accepted, and to further improve the game motivation by immediately executing the message display for the player specific state.

  Next, in step S140, it is determined whether or not the value of the winning counter P is equal to or less than a predetermined value Pmax. If this determination condition is satisfied, it is determined in step S150 whether or not the scheduled closing time of the special winning opening 6 is yet. If this determination condition is satisfied (step S150: Yes), the process returns to step S140. As a result, after the start of opening of the big winning opening 6, the winning opening 6 continues to be opened unless more than Pmax game balls B win or the scheduled closing time comes. On the other hand, if any one of the determination conditions in steps S140 and S150 is not satisfied, the solenoid 15 is demagnetized in step S160. Then, the shutter 14 is raised, and the passage entrance of the special winning opening 6 is closed. In step S170, it is determined whether or not the value of the round counter R is equal to or less than a predetermined value Rmax. If this determination condition is satisfied, it is determined in step S180 whether or not the flag F is “1”. If the determination condition of step S180 is satisfied (step S180: Yes), the process returns to step S110 of FIG. Therefore, once the big hit gaming state occurs, the big winning opening 6 repeats the open / close cycle until the game ball B wins the V zone 11 at most Rmax times. For example, when the predetermined value Pmax is set to “10”, the opening time of the big prize opening 6 is set to “about 29.5” seconds, and the predetermined value Rmax is set to “16”, the big prize is won. After the opening of the mouth 6, when one of the following conditions is satisfied: (1) 10 game balls B win the big winning opening 6 or (2) about 29.5 seconds have passed. The winning opening 6 is closed. The opening / closing cycle of the big winning opening 6 is repeated up to 16 times on condition that the game ball B wins the V zone 11. If either one of the determination conditions in steps S170 and S180 is not satisfied, “big hit signal OFF” is output to the output terminals 16B and 16b in step S190. Further, in step S200, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (in this case, an odd symbol). If the symbol is a special symbol (step S200: Yes), the probability variation jackpot signal OFF is output in step S210. Output to 16C and 16c. Subsequently, a probability variation process is executed in step S220, and then the special electric accessory control routine is terminated.

  In the probability variation processing routine of FIG. 16, in step S221, it is determined whether or not the jackpot symbol is a normal symbol (in this case, an even symbol). If this determination condition is not satisfied (step S221: No), that is, if the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (odd symbol), whether or not the probability variation counter C is “0” in step S227 (high probability mode) When the probability variation counter C is “0” (in the high probability mode) (step S227: Yes), in step S228, the probability variation in-progress signal ON is output to the output terminals 16A and 16A. To 16a. Subsequently, in step S229, the high probability mode is set, and the probability variation counter C is set to “2”. After executing the processing of step S229, the probability variation processing routine is terminated. Thus, when the big hit gaming state is continuously generated with the special symbol (odd symbol) during the high probability, the high probability mode is continued. On the other hand, if the determination condition in step S221 is satisfied, that is, if the big hit symbol is a normal symbol (even symbol), it is determined in step S222 whether the probability variation counter C is not "0". If the determination condition is not satisfied (C = 0), the probability variation processing routine is terminated. If the determination condition is satisfied (C = 2, 1), the probability variation counter C is decremented by “1” in step S223. In step S224, it is determined whether or not the probability variation counter C is “0”. If this determination condition is not satisfied (C = 1), the probability variation processing routine is terminated. If the determination condition is satisfied (C = 0), in step S225, the probability changing signal OFF is output to the output terminals 16A and 16a. In step S226, the low probability mode is set. Once the high probability mode is set in this way, the probability is high until the probability variation counter C becomes “0”, that is, after the high probability mode is set, until the big hit gaming state is continuously generated twice with an even number of symbols. The mode continues. When the big hit gaming state with an even number of symbols continues twice, the high probability mode ends and the mode is switched to the low probability mode. Note that the processing procedure in the present embodiment is an example, and can be changed as appropriate. For example, the symbol variation process (step S31) may be performed after the stop symbol storage process (steps S33, S35, S36).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when it is detected that the game ball B has won the first type starting port 4, the values of the respective counters are acquired and the symbol columns 8 to 10 are variably displayed. A stop symbol is stored based on the value of each counter, and the symbol variation is stopped by the stop symbol. If the combination of symbols displayed when the game is stopped is a big win combination, a big win gaming state that is advantageous to the player will occur, and until the game ball B reaches the V zone 11 at the maximum Rmax times, 6 open / close cycles are repeated. On the other hand, when the jackpot symbol is a special symbol (odd symbol), the high probability mode is set, and the probability of occurrence of the jackpot gaming state is increased two times, the next time and the next time. That is, once the high probability mode is set, the probability of occurrence of two big hit gaming states is increased from the next time, but if the big hit gaming state occurs again with an odd symbol during that period, the high probability mode is set. . On the other hand, if a big hit gaming state occurs in the normal symbol (even symbol) after the period has elapsed, the high probability mode ends (switches to the low probability mode).

  Next, prior to detailed description of each process executed in the communication control board 30, an outline of a flow from the start of a game in the pachinko machine 1 to service point transmission to the mobile phone 200 will be described. In this embodiment, a lottery is performed each time a big hit is detected, and service points including the number of points corresponding to the lottery result are transmitted from the infrared light emitting unit 33. When a player arrives at a seat installed in front of the pachinko machine 1 in the game hall, before or after the start of the game in the pachinko machine 1, the player uses the infrared light emitting unit 209 of the mobile phone 200 possessed by the player to play the game. The person-specific password is transmitted as an infrared signal to the infrared light receiving unit 34 of the pachinko machine 101. In the pachinko machine 1, the player is specified by the player specifying password.

  A lottery is executed every time a big hit occurs, and the number of points is stored in the point buffer 38f. After that, when the player ends the game, when the transmission request signal is transmitted as an infrared signal from the mobile phone 200 to the pachinko machine 1, the player specific password stored in the pachinko machine 1 matches the received player specific password. The service point including the point number data is transmitted from the infrared light emitting unit 33 of the pachinko machine 1 and received and stored by the mobile phone 200. The service points received by the mobile phone 200 can be used for winning prizes.

  Next, information communication processing executed in the communication control board 30 will be described with reference to flowcharts of the information communication processing main routine shown in FIGS. This routine is stored in the ROM 37, and the CPU 36 repeatedly reads out the routine from the ROM 37 at a predetermined cycle and executes it.

  Note that a player identification flag YF, which will be described later, is turned off when the player stops the game, that is, when it is detected that the firing switch signal output from the output terminal 16d has changed from ON to OFF. This is a flag that is turned ON when a player is specified by receiving a player specifying password in the process. Further, it is assumed that the player specific password or the transmission request signal is transmitted from the mobile phone 200 by operating the button 204 in a state where the above-described service point reception program is activated on the mobile phone 200.

  First, in step S2400, it is determined whether or not the point number data is stored in the point buffer 38f or the point accumulation area 38g. Here, the point buffer 38f is a buffer for storing the point number data acquired by the lottery based on the current big hit occurrence. On the other hand, the point accumulation area 38g accumulates and stores the point number data when the service point transmission based on the point number data stored in the point buffer 38f is not performed during the service point transmission time after the end of the big hit game. This is a storage area. When the point number data is not stored (step S2400: No), it is determined in step S2401 whether or not the player specific password has been received by the infrared light receiver 34. If the player specific password has not been received (step S2401: No), this routine ends.

  When the player specifying password is received (step S2401: Yes), the player specifying process routine shown in FIG. 19 is executed in step S2402. Hereinafter, the processing content of the player specifying processing routine will be described with reference to FIG. In the player specifying process routine, first, in step S24000, it is determined whether or not the received player specifying password matches the password stored in the password storage area 38c. If the two passwords match (step S24000: YES), the player identification flag YF is turned on in step S24005, and the player is identified by message display on the display device 5 in step S24006. Then, the process of this routine is terminated. If the received password does not match the password stored in the password storage area 38c (step S24000: No), the point number data stored and stored in the point storage area 38g is deleted in step S24001.

  That is, when the player who played the game immediately before ending the game without receiving the service point, the point number data remains accumulated in the point accumulation area 38g. In this state, if a new player transmits a player specific password in the pachinko machine 1, the password stored in the password storage area 38c does not match, so in step S24001, the point accumulation area 38g is obtained by the previous player. The point number data stored and stored in is deleted. As a result, the subsequent player cannot receive service points based on the point number data accumulated in the point accumulation area 38g due to the game of the previous player, and therefore, unauthorized reception of service points can be prevented. it can. On the other hand, since the stored contents of the point buffer 38f are not erased, it is possible to reliably receive service points based on the point number data calculated with the occurrence of this big hit.

  Subsequently, in step S24002, it is determined whether or not the point number data is stored in the point buffer 38f. If not stored (step S24002: No), the notification lamp 31 is turned off in step S24003. Next, in step S24004, the received password is stored in the player specific password storage area 38c. Subsequently, in step S24005, the player specifying flag YF is turned ON, and in step S24006, the player is notified by displaying a message on the display device 5 to indicate that the player has been specified. End and return to the main routine. At this time, a character string representing the player's name included in the received player specific password is read, and the player's name and nickname are displayed, for example, “Yamada Taro has been identified as a player.” A message including a character string representing the above is displayed (see FIG. 26A). Thus, the player can confirm that he / she has been identified as a player by viewing the message displayed on the display device 5.

  In the information communication processing main routine, when the point number data is stored in the point buffer 38f or the point accumulation area 38g (step S2400: Yes), the notification lamp is turned on in step S2403. Thereby, the player can know that the point number data is stored in the pachinko machine 102 and the mobile phone 200 can receive the service point. Next, in step S2404, it is determined whether or not the transmission request signal and the player specific password are received by the infrared light receiver 34. When the transmission request signal and the player specific password are not received (step S2404: No), step S2401 and subsequent steps are executed.

  When the transmission request signal and the player specific password are received (step S2404: Yes), in step S2405, the player specific password received together with the transmission request signal matches the player specific password stored in the password storage area 38c. It is determined whether or not to do. If the player specific password received together with the transmission request signal and the player specific password stored in the password storage area 38c do not match (step S2405: No), a message prompting transmission of the player specific password is sent in step S2417. Displayed on the display device 5, and the processing of this routine is terminated. For example, as shown in FIG. 26B, the message prompting the transmission of the player specific password is displayed as “Please transmit the password to identify the player.” Therefore, even when a transmission request is made in a state where the point number data is stored, the player specific password received together with the transmission request signal does not match the player specific password stored in the password storage area 38c. In this case, no service point is transmitted. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the service point from being illegally received by a person other than the player specified before receiving the service point.

  If the player specific password received together with the transmission request signal matches the player specific password stored in the password storage area 38c (step S2405: YES), whether or not the player specific flag YF is turned on in step S2406. If it is not turned on (step S2406: No), the player specifying flag YF is turned on in step S2407, and a message is displayed on the display device 5 that the player has been specified in step S2408. To inform the player. At this time, similar to the above-described player identification processing routine, the character string representing the player's name included in the received player identification password is read, and the character string representing the player's name, nickname, etc. is included in the message. (Refer to FIG. 26A).

  Subsequently, in step S2409, a connect signal is transmitted, and in step S2450, a return signal is received from the mobile phone 200. As a result, infrared communication is enabled between the communication control board 30 and the mobile phone 200. Subsequently, in step S2411, the notification lamp 32 starts blinking. In step S2412, a service point including the point number data stored in the point accumulation area 38g is created and transmitted. Subsequently, in step S2413, a service point including the point number data stored in the point buffer 38f is created and transmitted. Here, the service point creation and transmission processing in steps S2412 and S2413 is performed by calling and executing a service point creation / transmission processing routine shown in FIG.

  Here, the processing content of the service point creation / transmission processing routine will be described with reference to FIG. In the flowchart of FIG. 20, the contents of step S2413 are the same as those in step S2413 (service point creation and transmission based on point buffer 38f) different from step S2412 (service point creation and transmission based on point accumulation area 38g). Is shown in parentheses.

  In the service point creation / transmission processing routine, in step S2471, the head address of the point buffer 38f (point buffer 38f in step S2413) is set to the pointer BP. Next, in step S2472, it is determined whether or not service points have been created and transmitted for all the point number data stored in the point accumulation area 38g (point buffer 38f). If it has been completed (step S2472: Yes), the process returns to the main routine. Therefore, when the point number data is not stored in the point buffer 38f or the point accumulation area 38g, the process returns without performing the transmission processing shown in step S2473 and the subsequent steps.

  When there is point number data for which transmission of service points has not ended (step S2472: No), in step S2473, a gaming machine ID as gaming machine identification information for identifying the pachinko machine 102 as another is stored on the RAM 38. It is stored in the first storage area of the transmission buffer 38d. Here, FIG. 23A shows a format of the transmission buffer 38d for service point transmission including the point number data, and FIG. 23B shows an example of storage of service points. Subsequently, in step S474, the value of the service point counter 39b is read from the nonvolatile memory 39 and stored in the second area of the transmission buffer 38d. Further, in step S475, the point number data as the transmission information of the present invention is read from the address indicated by the pointer BP in the point accumulation area 38g (point buffer 38f) and stored in the third area of the transmission buffer 38d. That is, the service point has a data structure of “gaming machine ID + service point counter value + point number data”. Note that the gaming machine ID and the service point counter value correspond to identification information for individually identifying each service point.

  In step S 2476, the service point stored in the transmission buffer 38 d is transmitted as an infrared signal from the infrared light emitting unit 33. Subsequently, in step S2477, the infrared light receiving unit 34 receives a confirmation signal from the mobile phone 200. In step S2478, the service point counter value of the nonvolatile memory 39 is counted up. In step S2479, the pointer BP is updated. The value is updated, and the process returns to step S2472. Therefore, the process of steps S2473 to S2479 is repeated until the service point transmission process is completed for all the point number data and the process returns (step S2472: Yes).

  On the other hand, while the service point is being transmitted from the infrared light emitting unit 33, a message “Receiving service point” is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 206 of the mobile phone 200 as shown in FIG. Is done. As is clear from the above description, when a plurality of point number data is accumulated and stored in the point buffer 38f or the point accumulation area 38g, a plurality of service points are continuously transmitted, so that one reception is performed. Multiple service points can be received at once by operation. The value of the service point counter 39b corresponds to “unique information set for each occurrence of a specific gaming state” of the present invention.

  When returning to the information communication processing main routine (FIG. 18), a transmission end signal is transmitted in step S2414. On the other hand, when the mobile phone 200 receives the transmission end signal from the pachinko machine 1, the message “Service point reception has been completed” is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 206 of the mobile phone 200 as shown in FIG. Is displayed and the execution of the service point reception program is terminated. Subsequently, in step S2415, the notification lamp 31 is turned off, and in step S2416, the stored contents of the point buffer 38f, the point accumulation area 38g, and the transmission buffer 38d are erased, and the processing of this routine ends.

  When the service points transmitted in the information communication processing main routine described above are received by the mobile phone 200, the gaming machine ID, the service point counter value, and the point number data are sequentially stored in the memory 220 built in the mobile phone 200. Accumulated and stored. FIG. 28 shows an example of storage of service points in the memory 220 of the mobile phone 200.

  Here, the service points stored in the mobile phone 200 represent individual service points in an identifiable manner. In other words, the gaming machine ID identifies which gaming machine is a service point given out of a large number of gaming machines installed in gaming stores throughout the country. Further, the service point counter value identifies the number of service points output in the pachinko machine 1. As described above, since the service point counter value is counted up every time the service point is transmitted, the same value does not exist. Therefore, since the arrangement of the data of “gaming machine ID + service point counter value” is unique and there is no two same data, each service point in each gaming machine can be surely identified. Can do.

  Next, a process after the end of the big hit game in the communication control board 30 will be described with reference to flowcharts of the big hit game end processing routine shown in FIGS. Note that the big hit game end post-processing routine is stored in the ROM 37, and the CPU 36 reads this routine from the ROM 37 and executes it immediately after the big hit game state is finished. First, in step S2500, it is determined whether or not the point number data is stored in the point buffer 38f or the point accumulation area 38g. When the point number data is not stored (S2500: No), this routine is finished. If the point number data is stored (S2500: Yes), it is determined in step S2501 whether or not the player identification flag is ON.

  If the player identification flag is ON (step S2501: Yes), in step S2502, a message indicating that the service point can be transmitted is informed and a message prompting reception of the service point is displayed on the display device 5. . For example, as shown in FIG. 26 (c), a message “Service point transmission is possible. Send a transmission request and receive the service point. If not received, the message is accumulated as it is.” indicate. In step S2503, it is determined whether transmission of the service point is completed. If the transmission of the service point has been completed (step S2503: Yes), this routine ends. If the transmission of the service point has not been completed (step S2503: No), in step S2504, whether the service point transmission time has ended (whether a predetermined time has passed since the service point transmission time started). ). If the service point transmission time has not ended (step S2504: No), the process returns to step S2503. When the service point transmission time has ended (step S2504: YES), in step S2505, the stored contents of the point buffer 38f are accumulated in the area indicated by the pointer CP of the point accumulation area 38g and the pointer CP is updated. Exit.

  Here, a storage example of the point number data in the point buffer 38f and the point accumulation area 38g will be described with reference to FIG. First, when the highlight display stops in the fifth area 5h on the roulette 5c in the first lottery after the occurrence of the big hit, the point number data “50” is stored in the point buffer 38f (see the right side of FIG. 24 (a)). ). After that, if service points are not transmitted during the service point transmission time after the big hit game is over (step S2504: Yes), the contents of the point buffer 38f are accumulated and stored in the area indicated by the pointer CP of the point accumulation area 38g. (See the left side of FIG. 24A), the pointer CP is updated (step S2505).

  Next, when the highlight display stops in the fourth area 5g on the roulette 5c in the second lottery after the occurrence of the big hit, the point number data “40” is stored in the point buffer 38f (right side of FIG. 24B). reference). After that, if service points are not transmitted during the service point transmission time after the big hit game is over (step S2504: Yes), the contents of the point buffer 38f are accumulated and stored in the area indicated by the pointer CP of the point accumulation area 38g. (Refer to the left side of FIG. 24B), the pointer CP is updated (step S2505).

  If the player identification flag YF is OFF in step S2501 (step S2501: No), it is determined in step S2506 whether a player identification password is stored in the password storage area 38c. In the case where the player identification flag is OFF and the player identification password is stored in the password storage area 38c, the game is stopped after the player is identified and played, and the same player again. The game is resumed, or the game is ended after the player is identified and played, and then another player starts the game. If the player specific password is stored (step S2506: Yes), in step S2507, the character string of the player name (for example, “Yamada Taro”) is read from the player specific password, and in step S2508, the current specific A message for confirming the player's name is displayed on the display device 5. The message is displayed, for example, “Current player is Taro Yamada. Are you sure? Yes / No” (see FIG. 26D). When the player's name is displayed, the player selects “Yes”, when the name of another person is displayed, “No”, the first infrared sensor 32a (in the case of “Yes”) or The second infrared sensor 32b (in the case of “No”) is selected by holding the hand.

  Here, if it is detected by the first infrared sensor 32a that the player's hand is held over, it is determined in step S2509 that “yes” has been input, and in step S2510, the player identification flag YF is turned on. Then, the process proceeds to step S2502. On the other hand, if it is detected by the second infrared sensor 32b that the player's hand is held up, or if it is not detected by any of the infrared sensors within a predetermined time, in step S2509 , It is determined that “NO” has been input, and after the contents of the password storage area 38c are erased in step S2511, the process proceeds to step S2512 described later.

  In step S2506, when it is determined that the player specific password is not stored in the password storage area 38c (step S2506: No), in step S2512, the player is not specified and the player is specified. Is displayed on the display device 5. The message is displayed as, for example, “No player is currently identified. Do you want to identify a player? Yes / No” (see FIG. 26E). If the player wishes to specify the player, the player selects “Yes”. Otherwise, the player selects “No”, the first infrared sensor 32a (in the case of “Yes”) or the second infrared sensor 32b ( Select by placing your hand over "No".

  Here, if it is detected by the first infrared sensor 32a that the player's hand is held over, it is determined in step S2513 that "yes" has been input, and in step S2514, a player specific time is formed, A message notifying that the player specific time is in progress and prompting the player specific password to be transmitted are displayed on the display device 5. The message is displayed as, for example, “Please specify the player by sending the <player specific time> password” (see FIG. 26F). On the other hand, if it is detected by the second infrared sensor 32b that the player's hand is held up or if it is not detected by any of the infrared sensors within a predetermined time, in step S2513 , “NO” is input, and the process proceeds to step S2517 described later. Therefore, if the player is not desired to be identified, the player can immediately return to the normal gaming state without shifting to the player specified time. If the player is desired to be identified, the player is surely shifted to the player specified time. Thus, a time for transmitting the player specific password is secured.

  In step S2515, it is determined whether or not the player identification flag YF is turned on. If the player identification flag YF is turned on (step S2515: Yes), the process proceeds to step S2502. Note that the player identification process (FIG. 19) is performed in the information communication processing main routine of FIGS. 17 to 18 that is called at predetermined time intervals when the player identification password is transmitted from the mobile phone 200 during the player identification time. Is executed, the player specifying flag YF is turned ON. If the player specifying flag YF is not turned on (step S2515: No), it is determined in step S2516 whether or not the player specifying time has ended (that is, a predetermined time after the player specifying time is started in step S2514). Whether or not elapses) is determined. If the player specific time has not ended (step S2516: No), the process returns to step S2515. If the player specific time has ended (step S2516: Yes), in step S2517, the point buffer 38f and the point accumulation area The stored content of 38g is erased, and a message indicating that the point number data has been erased is displayed on the display device 5 in step S2518. For example, a message is displayed as “point number data has been deleted” (see FIG. 26G). In step S2519, after the notification lamp 31 is turned off, the process of this routine is terminated.

  Next, the game end process executed in the communication control board 30 will be described with reference to the flowchart of the game end process routine shown in FIG. This routine is stored in the ROM 37, and the CPU 36 reads the routine from the ROM 37 at predetermined time intervals and executes it. First, in step S2600, it is determined whether or not the end button 41 has been pressed. The pressing of the end button 41 is a game end operation as an intention display of the game end by the player. When the end button 41 is not pressed (step S2600: No), the process of this routine is ended.

  When the end button 41 is pressed, that is, when a game end operation is performed by the player (S2600: Yes), in step S2601, is the point number data stored in the point buffer 38f or the point accumulation area 38g? Determine whether or not. When the point number data is not stored (step S2601: No), the process of this routine is terminated.

  When the point number data is stored, that is, when the untransmitted point number data remains (step S2601: Yes), the message on the display device 5 that the point number data is deleted in step S2602. A notice will be given in advance. For example, as shown in FIG. 26 (h), “Point number data is deleted. Are you sure? Yes / No” is displayed. In step S2603, if it is detected that the hand is held over the first infrared sensor 32a or if no hand is detected by any of the infrared sensors, it is recognized that “yes” has been input. In step S2604, the stored contents of the point buffer 38f or the point accumulation area 38g (that is, the point number data) are deleted and the stored contents of the player specific password storage area 38c (that is, the player specific password) are deleted. To do. In step S2605, a message indicating that the point number data has been deleted is displayed on the display device 5. For example, a message is displayed as “point number data has been deleted” (see FIG. 26G). In step S2606, after the notification lamp 31 is turned off, the process of this routine is terminated.

  On the other hand, if it is detected in step S2603 that the hand is held over the second infrared sensor 32b, it is recognized that “NO” has been input, and the point number data is not erased in step S2607. As shown in FIG. 26 (c), the message “Service point transmission is possible. Send a transmission request to receive the service point. If it is not received, it will be accumulated as it is” is displayed. Is displayed and the process returns to step S2600. Therefore, even if the player presses the end button 41 without receiving the service point, the player can receive the service point by transmitting a transmission request from the mobile phone 200.

  As is clear from the above detailed description, according to the present embodiment, when the occurrence of a big hit gaming state (specific gaming state) is detected, the number of points is determined in steps S954 to S958 (lottery means). Lottery (lottery related to information output) is performed, and the infrared light emitting unit 33 (information output means) transmits a service point (information to be provided to the player) having a value corresponding to the number of points as an infrared signal. The player can obtain a service point by receiving an infrared signal using the mobile phone 200. Therefore, the player's sense of expectation for the acquisition of information can be increased, and the game motivation can be further improved. Since service points have a value corresponding to the number of points, by sending service points from the mobile phone 200 to a game hall, a machine manufacturer, etc., a player can win prizes according to the number of points. It is possible to receive services, etc., improve the willingness of players to play, differentiate from other game halls or other game machine manufacturers, attract customers, increase game time, etc. Become.

  Further, since the execution of the lottery is produced by the display device 5 that is watched by the player during the game, the player's sense of expectation for the lottery result can be surely increased. In addition, since the lottery is performed using the existing display device 5, it is not necessary to separately provide a lottery display device, and an increase in cost can be suppressed.

  In addition, by determining the lottery result at the timing when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the lottery based on the occurrence of the big hit gaming state, the lottery is automatically executed and the lottery result is determined without requiring an input operation by the player. Is executed and the game can proceed smoothly.

  Further, since the lottery means is realized in the communication control board 30 which is a sub board provided separately from the main board and connected by a communication line dedicated to output from the main board, It is possible to reliably prevent fraud. Further, when exchanging the game board 7, it is highly convenient in that the lottery means provided on the communication control board 30 can be reused.

  Next, a modification of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In each of the above-described embodiments, the service point counter value is used to set the service point to a unique value. However, the present invention is not limited to this. In short, a service point that expresses the occurrence of a specific gaming state in an individually identifiable manner is created and transmitted as a signal that can be received by the mobile communication terminal. For example, a clock may be built in the communication control board 30 and time data representing the occurrence time of each gaming state may be used as a component of the service point. FIG. 29 shows a storage example of the point number data and the time point data in the point buffer 38f in this modification, and FIG. 30 shows a storage example of the service points received by the mobile phone 200. According to this modified example, unique information that does not cause duplication can be easily and reliably created based on time point data representing the occurrence time point of the gaming state. Furthermore, by using the time data, it is possible to analyze at what timing each specific gaming state has occurred based on the received service points. In this modification, the gaming machine ID and the time point data correspond to identification information for individually identifying each service point.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, a lottery is performed for each occurrence of the jackpot gaming state, the number of points is determined based on the lottery result, and the cumulative number of points is calculated by accumulating each number of points. A service point having a value corresponding to the number is transmitted. In addition, about the structure which is common in 1st embodiment mentioned above, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and detailed description about them is abbreviate | omitted. 2, FIG. 4 to FIG. 10, FIG. 12 to FIG. 16 represent the contents of this embodiment as well as the first embodiment.

  In the pachinko machine 101 according to the present embodiment, as shown in the front view of FIG. 31 and the block diagram of the communication control board of FIG. 32, the launch handle 17 for launching the game ball B is gripped by the player's hand. A fingerprint sensor 42 is provided on the outer peripheral portion. The fingerprint sensor 42 is connected to the CPU 36, and fingerprint data detected by the firing handle 17 is transmitted to the CPU 36. The fingerprint data transmitted to the CPU 36 is stored in the fingerprint data storage area 38i of the RAM 38, and the fingerprint data detected this time is compared with the previous fingerprint data stored in the fingerprint data storage area 38i. The If both fingerprint data match, it is determined that the same player continues to play the game, and if they do not match, it is determined that the player has changed.

  As shown in FIG. 32, the RAM 38 of the present embodiment is provided with a player specific password storage area 38c, a transmission buffer 38d, and an internal random number counter 38x, as well as a point buffer 38f and a point buffer, as in the first embodiment. Instead of the accumulation area 38g, an accumulated point storage area 38h as output information storage means is provided. The accumulated point storage area 38h is an area for storing the accumulated point number RP calculated by sequentially accumulating each point number every time the number of points is determined by lottery. Further, the RAM 38 is provided with a fingerprint data storage area 38 i for storing fingerprint data detected by the fingerprint sensor 42. The accumulated point storage area 38h constitutes output information storage means of the present invention.

  In the present embodiment, in step S95 of the special electric accessory control routine of FIG. 6, instead of the jackpot effect / lottery display process routine of FIG. 11, the jackpot effect / lottery display process routine of FIG. 33 is called and executed. . The processing contents of steps S950 to S957 of the jackpot presentation / lottery display processing routine shown in FIG. 33 are the same as those in the flowchart of FIG. When the stop position is other than the lost area (step S957: Yes), the number of points associated with the first area 5d to the fifth area 5i at the stop position is determined as the accumulated point number in the accumulated point storage area 38h in step S958 '. Add to RP and return. That is, when the stop position is the first area 5d, 10 points, 20 points for the second area 5e, 30 points for the third area 5f, 40 points for the fourth area 5g, In the case of 5 areas 5h, 50 points are accumulated and added to the accumulated point number RP of the accumulated point storage area 38h. Note that steps S954 to S958 ′ function as the lottery means of the present invention.

  Next, prior to detailed description of each process executed in the communication control board 30, an outline of a flow from the start of a game in the pachinko machine 101 to service point transmission to the mobile phone 200 will be described. In the present embodiment, a lottery is performed for each detection of occurrence of a big hit, and the number of points is determined, and the accumulated number of points is calculated by accumulating the number of points, and the value corresponding to the accumulated number of points is obtained from the infrared light emitting unit 33. The service point is transmitted. When a player arrives at a seat installed in front of the pachinko machine 101 in the game hall, before starting the game on the pachinko machine 101, the player emits “model ID +” from the infrared light emitting unit 209 of the mobile phone 200 possessed by the player. The “player specific password + start data” is transmitted as an infrared signal to the infrared light receiver 34 of the pachinko machine 101. Here, the model ID is identification information for identifying the model of the pachinko machine 101. The start data is a point number balance in the mobile phone 200. In the pachinko machine 101, the model is confirmed by the received model ID, the player is identified by the player identification password, and the received start data is set as the current cumulative number of points.

  Here, when a game is played for the first time with a pachinko machine of the model, a predetermined dummy ID is transmitted as the model ID and “0” is transmitted as the start data from the mobile phone 200. On the other hand, in the second and subsequent games of the same model, the model ID is the model ID of the pachinko machine 101, and the start data is the point number balance of the model. When the game is played for the first time, since the start data is 0, the production on the display device 5 starts from the first story, whereas when the game is played for the second time or later, the received start data is the current By setting the accumulated point number, the progress of the game in the pachinko machine 101 is set based on the point number balance in the mobile phone 200.

  A lottery is executed every time a big hit occurs, and the number of points determined based on the lottery result is added to the cumulative point number RP in the cumulative point storage area 38h. Thereafter, when the player ends the game, when the “transmission request signal + player specific password” is transmitted as an infrared signal from the mobile phone 200 to the pachinko machine 101, the player specific password stored in the pachinko machine 101 is received. On the condition that the player specific password matches, the service point including the accumulated point number data is transmitted from the infrared light emitting unit 33 of the pachinko machine 101, and is received and stored by the mobile phone 200. The service points received by the mobile phone 200 can be used for winning prizes and the like, and the point number balance can be transmitted to the pachinko machine 101 as start data at the start of the next game.

  The graph of FIG. 34 is a transition example of the accumulated point number RP. The game is started with the accumulated point number RP = 100, and by the lottery accompanying the occurrence of the big hit, 10 points at time t1, 30 points at time t2, and at time t3. For example, 40 points are cumulatively added, and the cumulative number of points RP = 180 when the game ends at time t4.

  Next, information communication processing executed in the communication control board 30 will be described with reference to flowcharts of information communication processing main routines shown in FIGS. Note that this routine is stored in the ROM 37 instead of the routine in the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 17 to 18, and the CPU 36 repeatedly reads out the routine from the ROM 37 at a predetermined cycle and executes it.

  Note that transmission of start data, a player specific password, a transmission request signal, etc. from the mobile phone 200 is performed by operating the button 204 in a state where the above-described service point reception program is activated in the mobile phone 200. To do. For example, when starting data transmission, as shown in FIG. 37, the model name and service point balance of the pachinko machine are displayed on the liquid crystal panel 206, and the selected model is selected by operating the button 204. The model ID, the player specific password, and the service point balance as start data are read from the memory 220 and transmitted from the infrared light emitting unit 209 as an infrared signal.

  35 to 36, first, in step S3400, it is determined whether or not “model ID + player specific password + start data” has been received by the infrared light receiver 34. If “model ID + player specific password + start data” is received (step S3400: YES), whether the received model ID matches the model ID of the pachinko machine 101 stored in the ROM 37 in step S3401. Determine whether or not. If the received model ID matches the model ID of the pachinko machine 101 (step S3401: YES), in step S3402, the received start data value is written into the accumulated point number RP in the accumulated point storage area 38h. Here, since the start data is the point number balance of the service points stored in the memory 220 of the mobile phone 200, the accumulated point number RP of h in the accumulated point storage area 38 in the pachinko machine 101 is obtained by the processing in step S 3402. Is set with the balance of the number of service points stored in the mobile phone 200.

  If the received model ID does not match the model ID of the pachinko machine 101 (step S3401: NO), it is determined in step S3403 whether the received model ID matches a predetermined dummy ID. If the received model ID matches the predetermined dummy ID (step S3403: YES), in step S3404, the numerical value “0” is written to the cumulative point number RP in the cumulative point storage area 38h. Here, since the dummy ID is transmitted when the game is played for the first time in the model, when the accumulated point number RP is set to “0”, the game progress newly starting the game in the pachinko machine 101 Situation.

  If the received model ID does not match either the model ID of the pachinko machine 101 or the predetermined dummy ID (step S3403: NO), in step S3405, as shown in FIG. After the message “Please check the model.” Is displayed on the display device 5, the processing of this routine is terminated.

  After the start data is set in the accumulated point number RP in step S3402 or step S3404, in step S3406, the received player specific password is stored in the password storage area 38c, and the player specific flag YF is turned ON. Subsequently, in step S3407, as shown in FIG. 38 (b), the message “Taro Yamada has been identified as a player. The balance of the current number of points is XXX points” is displayed on the display device 5. To display. Further, in step S3408, the value of the accumulated point number RP is transmitted to the symbol display control board 22, and the processing of this routine is terminated.

  On the other hand, the display device 5 is controlled by the symbol display control board 22 to perform effect display on the story screen corresponding to the value of the accumulated points. For example, as shown in FIG. 39, every time the cumulative number of points increases by 100 points, a control command is transmitted to the symbol display control board 22, so that story 1 (100 points), story 2) (200 points), story 3) Stories development is executed as in (300 points), Story 4 (400 points). In FIG. 39, after playing from the previous game from the story 1) to the middle of the story 2), the service point is received by the mobile phone 200 and stored in the memory 220 of the mobile phone 200 at the start of this game. In this example, the balance of the number of service points is transmitted to the pachinko machine 101 as start data, and the game is started from the continuation of story 2).

  If it is determined in step S3400 that “model ID + player specific password + start data” has not been received (step S3400: No), whether “transmission request signal + player specific password” has been received in step S3409. Determine whether. If it is determined that “transmission request signal + player specific password” has not been received (step S3409: No), the processing of this routine is terminated.

  If “transmission request signal + player specific password” is received in step S3409 (step S3409: Yes), the player specific password received together with the transmission request signal and the password storage area 38c are stored in step S3410. It is determined whether or not the player specific password matches. In addition, when the player specific password is not stored in the password storage area 38c, it is determined as not matching. When the player specific password received together with the transmission request signal does not match the player specific password stored in the password storage area 38c (step S3410: No), in step S3411, as shown in FIG. A message “Service point cannot be sent because the passwords do not match or are not entered” is displayed on the display device 5 and the processing of this routine is terminated.

  Therefore, even if a transmission request signal is transmitted from the mobile phone 200, if the player specific password received together with the transmission request signal does not match the player specific password stored in the password storage area 38c, Points are not sent. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the service point from being illegally received by a person other than the player specified at the start of the game.

  If the player specific password received together with the transmission request signal matches the player specific password stored in the password storage area 38c (step S3410: YES), a connect signal is transmitted in step S3412, and in step S3413, A return signal is received from the mobile phone 200. As a result, infrared communication is enabled between the communication control board 30 and the mobile phone 200. Subsequently, in step S3414, the notification lamp 32 starts blinking. In step S3415, service point creation and transmission processing is performed. Here, the service point creation and transmission processing in step S3415 is performed by calling and executing the service point creation / transmission processing routine shown in FIG. 40 instead of the routine in the first embodiment shown in FIG. Is called.

  In the service point creation / transmission processing routine, in step S3471, a gaming machine ID as gaming machine identification information for identifying the pachinko machine 101 as another is stored in the first storage area of the transmission buffer 38d on the RAM 38. Here, FIG. 41A shows a format of the transmission buffer 38d for service point transmission, and FIG. 41B shows a storage example of service points. Subsequently, in step S3472, the value of the service point counter 39b is read from the nonvolatile memory 39 and stored in the second area of the transmission buffer. Further, in step S3473, the value of the accumulated point number RP as the transmission information of the present invention stored in the accumulated point storage area 38h is stored in the third area of the transmission buffer 38d. That is, the service point has a data structure of “gaming machine ID + service point counter value + cumulative point number data”. The first three digits of the gaming machine ID are a model ID, and the model ID transmitted together with the start data is set based on the gaming machine ID. Note that the gaming machine ID and the service point counter value correspond to identification information for individually identifying each service point.

  In step S3474, the service point stored in the transmission buffer 38d is transmitted as an infrared signal from the infrared light emitting unit 33. Subsequently, in step S3475, the infrared light receiver 34 receives a confirmation signal from the mobile phone 200. In step S3476, the service point counter value of the nonvolatile memory 39 is counted up, and then the process returns to the main routine.

  When returning to the information communication processing main routine (FIG. 36), a transmission end signal is transmitted in step S3416. Subsequently, in step S3417, the notification lamp 31 is turned off, and in step S3418, the accumulated point number RP is set to “0”, the player specifying flag YF is turned OFF, and the stored contents of the transmission buffer 38d are erased. Then, the processing of this routine is terminated.

  When the service point transmitted in the information communication processing main routine described above is received by the mobile phone 200, the gaming machine ID, the service point counter value, and the accumulated point number data are stored in the memory 220 built in the mobile phone 200. Is done. FIG. 43 shows a storage example in the memory 220 of the mobile phone 200.

Next, the game end process executed in the communication control board 30 will be described with reference to the flowchart of the game end process routine shown in FIG. This routine is stored in the ROM 37, and the CPU 36 repeatedly reads out the routine from the ROM 37 at a predetermined cycle and executes it.
First, in step S3600, the current fingerprint data output from the fingerprint sensor 42 is compared with the previous fingerprint data stored in the fingerprint data storage area 38i to determine whether the fingerprints match. If the fingerprints match (step S3600: YES), the routine is terminated. That is, if the fingerprints match, it means that the game by the same player is continuing.

  When it is determined that the fingerprints do not match, that is, when it is determined that the game by the player before the change is completed due to the change of the player (step S3600: No), in step S3601, the accumulated point number RP Is stored in the accumulated point storage area 38h. If the accumulated point number RP is not stored (step S3601: NO), the process of this routine is terminated.

  When the accumulated point number RP is stored, that is, when the untransmitted accumulated point number RP data remains (step S3601: Yes), in step S3602, the storage contents (that is, the accumulated point storage area 38h) The accumulated point number RP) is deleted, and the stored contents of the player specific password storage area 38c (that is, the player specific password) are deleted. In step S3603, a message indicating that the accumulated point number RP data has been deleted is displayed on the display device 5. For example, a message is displayed as “cumulative points have been deleted” (see FIG. 38D). In step S3604, after the notification lamp 31 is turned off, the process of this routine is terminated.

  As is clear from the above detailed description, according to the present embodiment, the following various functions and effects can be obtained instead of (or in addition to) the effects achieved in the first embodiment described above. Is done. That is, according to the present embodiment, when the occurrence of the big hit gaming state (specific gaming state) is detected, the lottery (the lottery regarding information output) for determining the number of points in steps S954 to S958 ′ (lottery means). ) Is added, and the number of points is cumulatively added to the cumulative point number RP of the cumulative point storage area 38h, and the infrared light emitting unit 33 (information output means) provides service points (providing to the player) having a value corresponding to the cumulative point number. Information) is transmitted as an infrared signal, so that the player can obtain service points including the number of points accumulated in a plurality of games by receiving the infrared signal using the mobile phone 200. Therefore, the player's sense of expectation for the acquisition of information can be increased, and the game motivation can be further improved. Since service points have a value corresponding to the number of points, by sending service points from the mobile phone 200 to a game hall, a machine manufacturer, etc., a player can win prizes according to the number of points. It is possible to receive services, etc., improve the willingness of players to play, differentiate from other game halls or other game machine manufacturers, attract customers, increase game time, etc. Become.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the following modifications may be made.

  For example, in each of the above embodiments, a lottery result is determined at a timing when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of a lottery based on the occurrence of a big hit gaming state, so that a lottery is automatically performed without requiring an input operation or the like by a player. However, the operation means operated by the player to execute the lottery is provided, and the roulette fluctuation display (that is, the lottery is displayed based on the timing when the operation means is operated). May be configured to stop the roulette fluctuation display (that is, determine the lottery result). According to this modified example, the player can execute the lottery at a desired timing, and the gameability in the lottery is increased by intervening the operation of the player himself when determining the lottery result, and the game willingness is further increased. Is improved. Further, the above-described operation means can be constituted by a push button, a touch panel, a sensor for detecting any operation of the player's body part, a voice recognition device, or the like. FIG. 44 is a front view showing a pachinko machine according to this modification, and shows an example in which a lottery button 3b as an operation means operated by a player to execute a lottery is provided on the upper tray 3a. .

  In each of the above embodiments, the number of service points is determined by lottery. However, instead of the number of points, a type of special value-added information different from the service points is determined, and an infrared signal is transmitted from the infrared light emitting unit 33. It is good also as a structure which transmits as. Thereby, the player can play a game with the acquisition of added value information as one game target, and can improve the game motivation.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, a lottery for determining the number of points when the big hit gaming state occurs is configured. However, the lottery may be executed when the big hit gaming state ends. Alternatively, a lottery may be performed at other predetermined timing such as when a specific gaming state (for example, reach gaming state) other than the big hit gaming state occurs or ends. In each of the above embodiments, a lottery is performed to determine the number of points. For example, a lottery is performed to determine whether to win or lose, and in the case of winning, a service point is transmitted. In the case of a loss, service point transmission may be stopped.

  In each of the above embodiments, the roulette 5c is displayed on the screen 5a and the lottery is performed. However, the lottery may be generated in any manner other than the roulette display. In each of the above embodiments, the jackpot effect screen and the lottery effect screen are divided and displayed on the screen 5a of the display device 5 provided on the game board 7. However, the display for displaying the lottery effect screen is shown. The apparatus may be separately provided on the game board 7 or on the glass door frame 3 outside the game board 7.

  In each of the above embodiments, the service point is output from the infrared transmission unit 33 as an infrared signal signal, and the mobile phone 200 receives the infrared signal, thereby obtaining the service point. The ROM 24 may include a two-dimensional barcode generation program, and the display device 5 may display and output the service point as a two-dimensional barcode. According to this modification, it is possible to acquire a service point by reading a two-dimensional barcode using a CCD camera and a mobile phone 200 with a two-dimensional barcode decoding function. A plurality of service points can be acquired collectively by displaying the result of accumulating the number of points with one two-dimensional barcode. Further, since the two-dimensional barcode generation program is provided on the symbol display control board 22 for controlling the display device 5, two-dimensional barcode display can be performed with a small processing load by transmitting a command or the like to the symbol display control board 22. It can be performed. FIG. 45 shows a display example of a two-dimensional barcode on the round display screen of the display device 5. In this modification, the display device 5 constitutes the information output means of the present invention, and the two-dimensional barcode generation program constitutes the barcode generation means. The two-dimensional barcode generation program may be provided on the communication control board 30 instead of the symbol display control board 22. According to this configuration, when the pachinko machine 1 is discarded, the communication unit including the communication control board 30 can be removed and reused in another gaming machine. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which provides a two-dimensional barcode generation program in the main board | substrate of the control apparatus 21 of the pachinko machine 1 main body. According to this configuration, since the two-dimensional barcode generation program is provided on the main board that is caulked and fixed to the main body of the pachinko machine 1, fraud can be reliably prevented.

  In the above-described modification, the two-dimensional barcode generation program generates a plurality of accumulated transmission information as one barcode, and the display device 5 displays the generated one barcode. Although a plurality of transmission information is collectively displayed by one bar code, and thus the transmission information can be collectively acquired by the mobile phone 200, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the two-dimensional barcode generation program generates each barcode as a barcode for each transmission information, accumulates and stores the generated barcodes in the RAM 38 (or RAM 26), and displays the accumulated and stored barcodes. The apparatus 5 may be configured to sequentially read and display. According to this modification, the stored and stored transmission information is sequentially displayed on the display device 5, so that each transmission information can be sequentially acquired by the mobile phone 200. Alternatively, it includes bar code storage means (ROM) for storing in advance a one-dimensional or two-dimensional bar code pattern in association with transmission information (for example, game state data or service points indicating occurrence of jackpot gaming state), For each piece of transmission information stored and stored in the RAM 38, the barcode may be read from the barcode storage means and displayed. According to this modification, barcode display on the display device 5 can be performed with a small processing load without performing a barcode generation process with a large processing load.

  Further, instead of the two-dimensional barcode, another machine-readable symbol may be adopted. For example, it may be displayed and output as a one-dimensional barcode, or may be displayed as a sequence of characters and the like (including English characters, katakana, hiragana, kanji, symbols, numbers, etc.). It is possible to acquire information by recognizing the arrangement of characters and the like using a mobile communication terminal having an optical character recognition function. Further, apart from the display device 5 as a symbol variation display device provided on the game board 7, a two-dimensional bar is provided on another position of the game board 7 or on the front frame 2 or the glass door frame 3 outside the game board 7. A display device for code display output may be separately provided as information output means. For example, the pachinko machine 102 shown in FIG. 46 has a two-dimensional barcode display device 5 ′, a notification lamp 31, and an infrared ray through an opening provided near the corner of the glass door frame 3 at the peripheral edge of the front frame 2. The example arrange | positioned so that the light-receiving part 34 may be exposed is shown. According to this modification, there is an advantage that the display area of the symbol variation display on the display device 5 is not affected, the reading operation by the mobile phone 200 is easy, and the unauthorized reading operation by another player is performed. There is an advantage that it can be appropriately arranged at a position where it is difficult to perform. Further, when only the game board 7 is exchanged, the two-dimensional barcode display device 5 ′ provided on the front frame 2 outside the game board 7 can be reused. In addition, when a pachinko machine having a function related to ball lending is connected to the pachinko machine and the inter-car device has a display device, the inter-car device may be configured to perform two-dimensional bar code display. Good.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, a player specific password transmitted as an infrared signal from the mobile phone 200 is input by a player's operation. However, the mobile phone 200 has an internal terminal via a terminal provided in the mobile phone 200. A configuration may be provided in which a device capable of reading the stored contents of the memory is provided. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which inputs a player specific password via input means which can input information by operation of a player, for example, input devices, such as a keyboard provided in the frame of the pachinko machine, a touch panel. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which inputs a player specific password via the interface board | substrate (interface means) for inputting the information output from the stand apparatus which has a function regarding a ball lending. In this case, for example, an input device such as a touch panel or an infrared receiving device may be provided in the inter-device, and a player specifying password input by these devices may be input via the interface board. Or it is good also as a structure which reads a player specific password from a magnetic card or an IC card with an inter-device, and inputs it via an interface board.

  In each of the above embodiments, the confirmation result of the player specific situation is input by holding the hand over the first infrared sensor 32a or the second infrared sensor 32b. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, via a confirmation input means constituted by any one of a push button, a touch panel, a sensor for detecting any movement of the player's body part, a receiving device for information transmitted from the mobile phone 200, or a voice recognition device. The confirmation result of the player specific situation may be input.

  In each of the above embodiments, when a player is specified by transmitting a player specifying password by the mobile phone 200 that the player is specified, or when the jackpot gaming state is ended without specifying the player, Although it is set as the structure which alert | reports in the display apparatus 5, you may comprise so that it may alert | report at timings other than these. For example, notification may be performed immediately after the game starts. Thereby, the player can know that the player is specified immediately after the start of the game. It should be noted that the start of the game can be detected by detecting that the firing switch signal at the output terminal 16d has been turned on.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure which alert | reports a player specific, when generation | occurrence | production of a specific game state is detected. Thus, the player can surely know that the player has been specified when the game state data can be received due to the occurrence of a specific game state such as a big hit gaming state. Further, in the above embodiment, when the player is unspecified at the end of the jackpot gaming state, it is configured to notify that the player is not specified. You may comprise so that it alert | reports at the time of generation | occurrence | production detection, and forms player specific time. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which alert | reports a player specific at a predetermined time interval.
