  The main CPU 41a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function) such as a timekeeping function and a timer interrupt, executes a program (described later) stored in the ROM 41b, and performs processing related to the progress of the game. Each part of the control circuit mounted on the game control board 40 is controlled directly or indirectly. The ROM 41b stores fixed data such as programs executed by the main CPU 41a and various tables. The RAM 41c is used as a work area when the main CPU 41a executes a program. The I / O port 41d inputs / outputs a control signal to / from each circuit connected via a signal input / output terminal included in the main control unit 41.

  Further, the main control unit 41 is supplied with backup power even during a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 41c is held while the backup power is being supplied.

  The main CPU 41a repeatedly loops the process according to the control state until the detection state of the various switches connected to the game control board 40 is changed as a basic process, and step by step according to the change of the detection state of the various switches. Execute the process to move to. Further, the main CPU 41a has an interrupt function as described above, and can interrupt the basic process by the occurrence of the interrupt and execute the interrupt process. The voltage output from the power interruption detection circuit 48 The power interruption interrupt process (main) is executed in response to the input of the decrease signal, and the timer interrupt process (main) is executed at regular time intervals (about 0.56 ms in the present embodiment). In addition, the execution interval of the timer interrupt process (main) is set to a time longer than the sum of the time required to complete the repeated process according to the control state in the basic process and the execution time of the timer interrupt process (main) Therefore, the process that is repeated according to the control state between the current and next timer interrupt processes (main) is completed at least once.

  The main CPU 41a transmits various commands to the effect control board 90 via the I / O port 41d. A command transmitted from the game control board 40 to the effect control board 90 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the effect control board 90 to the game control board 40.

  An effect switch 56 is connected to the effect control board 90, and a detection signal of the effect switch 56 is input.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to effect devices such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 4), effect effect LEDs 52, speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 described above, which are arranged on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1. These effect devices are driven based on control by a later-described sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90 controls the output of the effect devices such as the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and reel LED 55. However, an output control unit that directly controls the output of the effect device is mounted on the effect control board 90 or another board separately from the sub control part 91, and the sub control part 91 is based on a command from the main control part 41. The output pattern of the effect device may be determined, and the output control unit may control the output of the effect device based on the output pattern determined by the sub control unit 91. In such a configuration, the sub control unit 91 and the output The output control of the effect device is performed by both of the control units.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, although the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED55 are illustrated as an effect device, an effect device is not restricted to these, For example, it drives mechanically. A display device or a mechanically driven item may be applied as the rendering device.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the effect control board 90 includes a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and a microcomputer provided with an I / O port 91d. A display control circuit 92 that performs display control of the liquid crystal display 51 connected to the LED, an LED driving circuit 93 that performs drive control of the effect LED 52 and the reel LED 55, an audio output circuit 94 that controls audio output from the speakers 53 and 54, When the power is turned on or when an initialization command from the sub CPU 91a is not input for a certain period of time, a reset circuit 95 that gives a reset signal to the sub CPU 91a and a detection signal input from the effect switch 56 connected to the effect control board 90 are detected. The switch detection circuit 96 outputs time information including date information and time information. The power supply voltage supplied to the timepiece device 97 and the slot machine 1 is monitored, and when a voltage drop is detected, a power drop detection circuit 98 that outputs a voltage drop signal to that effect to the sub CPU 91a, other circuits, etc. , And the sub CPU 91a receives various commands transmitted from the game control board 40 and performs various controls for performing effects, and directly controls each part of the control circuit mounted on the effect control board 90. To control automatically or indirectly.

  Similar to the main CPU 41a, the sub CPU 91a has an interrupt function (including an interrupt prohibition function). One of the interrupt terminals of the sub control unit 91 is connected to a strobe (INT) signal line that is output when the main control unit 41 transmits a command, among the command transmission lines, and the sub CPU 91a receives the strobe signal. An interrupt is generated based on the input to acquire a command from the main control unit 41 and execute a command reception interrupt process to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub CPU 91a executes an interrupt process (sub) to be described later by generating an interrupt every time the number of clock inputs reaches a certain number, that is, every certain interval. One of the interrupt terminals of the sub-control unit 91 is connected to the power interruption detection circuit 98, and the sub CPU 91a responds to the input of the voltage drop signal output from the power interruption detection circuit 98. Execute processing (sub). Further, when an unused interrupt occurs in the sub CPU 91a, an unused interrupt process for immediately returning to the original process is executed.

  The sub-control unit 91 is also supplied with backup power at the time of a power failure, and the data stored in the RAM 91c is held while the backup power is supplied.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the medal payout rate changes according to the set value. Specifically, the medal payout rate is changed by using a winning probability corresponding to a set value in an internal lottery described later. The set value is composed of 6 levels of 1 to 6, with 6 being the highest payout rate and the payout rate being lower as the value is decreased in the order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. That is, when 6 is set as the set value, the advantage is highest for the player, and as the value decreases in order of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, the advantage decreases stepwise.

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Transition to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the display returns to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned OFF, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In order to confirm the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on with no bet amount set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 41c is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by turning the setting key switch 37 to the OFF state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the main CPU 41a detects a voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48, power interruption interruption processing (main) is executed. In the power interruption interrupt processing (main), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 41c, which will be described later, and data for destructive diagnosis (5AH in this embodiment) in which any bit is 1 in the RAM 41c, that is, a specification other than 0 The RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all the areas of the RAM 41c becomes 0, and stored in the RAM 41c. Note that the RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of values stored in each bit of the corresponding area (all areas in the present embodiment) of the RAM 41c. Therefore, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c is 1. In this case, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

  The main CPU 41a calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 41c at the time of activation, confirms the value of the destructive diagnosis data, the RAM parity is 0, and the destructive diagnosis The processing state of the main CPU 41a is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 41c on the condition that the value of the data for use is correct, but the RAM parity is not 0 (in the case of 1) or is destroyed. If the value of the diagnostic data is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state so that the progress of the game is disabled. Unlike the other error states, the RAM abnormal error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new set value is set in the setting change state described above. It will not be released until

  In addition, when the sub CPU 91a detects the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 98, the sub CPU 91a also executes a power interruption interrupt process (sub). In the power interruption interrupt processing (sub), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 91c described later, and destructive diagnosis data in which any bit is 1 is stored in the RAM 91c, and data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c. The RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on 0 becomes 0 and stored in the RAM 91c.

  Then, the sub CPU 91a calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 91c at the time of activation, and based on the data stored in the RAM 91c on the condition that the RAM parity is 0. The processing state of the sub CPU 91a is restored to the state before the power interruption. If the RAM parity is not 0 (1), it is determined that the RAM is abnormal and the RAM 91c is initialized. In this case, unlike the sub CPU 91a, the execution of the performance is not disabled only by initializing the RAM 91c.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 41c of the main control unit 41 is divided into an important work, a general work, a special work, a set value work, a stop phase work, a non-saved work, an unused area, and a stack area.

  The important work is a work in which data that is inconvenient to be initialized at the end of the BB, such as various display devices and LED display data, input / output data of the I / O port 41d, and a game time clock counter, is stored. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at the end of the BB, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, and the total number of medals paid out in the BB. The special work is a work that stores data to be initialized only before the start of setting, such as data for transmitting a command to the effect control board 90 and various software random numbers. The set value work is a work in which a set value used when performing a lottery in the internal lottery process is stored. After initializing 0 before setting start (before transition to the setting change mode), 1 is stored The set value that is corrected and newly set at the end of the setting (when the setting change mode is ended) is stored. The stop phase work is a work in which data indicating the stop phase of the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R is stored, and data indicating the stop phase is stored when the reel motors 32L, 32C, 32R are stopped. The Rukoto. The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 41c is destroyed at the time of activation. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 41c, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main CPU 41a is stored, and the unused stack area is established by any one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. In this case, the used stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 41a starts up when both the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are ON, when a RAM error occurs, or when only the setting key switch 37 is ON. When the BB ends, when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both turned off and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed, six initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied. At this time, five types of initializations in different regions to be initialized are performed according to each initialization condition.

  Initialization 0 is performed when the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are both ON at the time of start-up, and initialization is performed before the transition to the setting change mode or when a RAM error occurs. In initialization 0, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) of the storage area of the RAM 41c other than the used stack area are initialized. Initialization 1 is an initialization performed only when the setting key switch 37 is in an ON state at the time of startup and shifts to the setting change mode. In the initialization 1, the storage area of the RAM 41c is All areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) other than the in-use stack area and the stop phase work are initialized. Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area are initialized in the storage area of the RAM 41c. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when both the setting key switch 37 and the reset / setting switch 38 are in an OFF state at the time of activation, and the data in the RAM 41c is not destroyed. The stored work, unused area, and unused stack area are initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 41c are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 0 and initialization 1 are performed before transition to the setting change mode. However, they may be performed at the end of the setting change mode, that is, after the setting is confirmed. In this case, if the set value work is initialized, the determined set value is lost. Therefore, the set value work is not initialized.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the prescribed number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state is determined as described above, and the prescribed number of bets that are determined according to the gaming state is set. It becomes possible to start the game on the condition. In the present embodiment, as will be described later, there are a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB) and a normal gaming state as a gaming state, and 3 is defined as the prescribed number of bets in any gaming state. Thus, regardless of the gaming state, when 3 is set as the bet number, the game can be started. In the present embodiment, all of the pay lines L1 to L5 are activated when a specified number of bets corresponding to the gaming state are set.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, when all reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are stopped, a combination of symbols called a combination is arranged on an activated pay line (hereinafter simply referred to as a pay line). Winning a prize. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that can start the next game without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition of the game state. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order for winning of each combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to win an internal lottery to be described later and set a winning flag of the combination in the RAM 41c.

  Of the winning flags for each of these combinations, the winning flag for the small role and the re-playing role is valid only in the game in which the flag is set, and is invalid in the next game. It is valid until a combination of combinations permitted by the flag is completed, and is invalid in a game having a combination of combinations permitted. In other words, once the special combination winning flag is won, even if the combination of the combination permitted by the flag cannot be made, the winning flag is not invalidated and is carried over to the next game. It becomes.

  As the role in this slot machine 1, as shown in FIG. 8, a regular bonus as a special role (hereinafter, the regular bonus is RB), a big bonus (1) (2) (hereinafter, a big bonus is BB (1) (2)), watermelon, cherry, and bell are defined as small roles, and replay is defined as a replay role.

  In any gaming state, a cherry is placed on any of the winning lines on the left reel when a combination of “cherry-ANY-bell” or “cherry-ANY-replay” is aligned, that is, on the left reel. When the “Cherry” symbol is derived and the “Bell” or “Replay” symbol is derived on the winning line of the right reel where “Cherry” is stopped on the left reel, it becomes a prize and two medals are paid out. .

  The watermelon is awarded when the combination of “watermelon-watermelon-watermelon” is aligned on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and 15 medals are paid out.

  The bell is awarded when a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on any of the winning lines in any gaming state, and 12 medals are paid out.

  Replay is awarded when the combination of “Replay-Replay-Replay” is aligned on the winning line in the normal gaming state. When the replay wins, no medals are paid out, but the next game can be started without setting the number of wagers again, so that three medals corresponding to the number of wagers that are not required to be set in the next game are paid out. Is essentially the same.

  RB is awarded when a combination of “net 7-net 7-black 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB, and the gaming state shifts to RB. The RB is a gaming state that is advantageous to the player over other gaming states by increasing the winning probability of the small role, especially the bell, and when the 12 games are digested after the RB starts, or a 4-game winning ( When the type of a combination is allowed), it ends either whichever comes first.

  BB (1) is awarded when a combination of “black 7-black 7-black 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB. BB (2) is awarded when a combination of “white 7-white 7-white 7” is aligned on any of the winning lines in a gaming state other than RB.

  When BB (1) (2) wins, the gaming state shifts to BB and simultaneously shifts to RB. When RB ends, if BB has not ended, it shifts to RB again and BB ends. Control is repeated until RB. That is, during BB, it is always controlled to RB. The BB ends when the total number of medals paid out to the player in the BB exceeds 480. At the end of the BB, the RB is also ended regardless of whether or not the RB end condition is satisfied.

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state and whether or not the special combination is carried over, the acquired random number for internal lottery and the number of judgment values for each combination determined according to the gaming state, the number of bets and the set value Is done according to.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the role becomes a subject of internal lottery depending on whether the gaming state is the normal gaming state or RB (BB), and the special gaming state is different in the normal gaming state. The subject of the internal lottery also differs depending on whether or not the role is being carried over (normal: normal game state in which special role is not carried over, winning: normal game state in which special role is carried over).

  RB, BB (1), BB (2), RB + watermelon, RB + cherry, BB (1) + watermelon, BB (1) if the gaming state is the normal gaming state and the special role is not carried over + Cherry, BB (2) + Watermelon, BB (2) + Cherry, Replay, Watermelon, Cherry, and Bell are sequentially read out as the subject combination of the internal lottery.

  If the gaming state is the normal gaming state and the special combination is carried over, the replay, watermelon, cherry, and bell are sequentially read out as the target combinations for the internal lottery.

  If the gaming state is RB (BB), watermelon, cherry, and bell are sequentially read out as the subject combination of the internal lottery.

  In the internal lottery, the number of determination values determined corresponding to the role to be subject to the internal lottery, the current gaming state and the set value are sequentially added to the random number for the internal lottery, and when the result of addition overflows, It is determined that the winning combination has been won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  In the internal lottery, when any winning combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storing work assigned to the RAM 41c. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a storage area of 2 bytes, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work for which the special role winning flag is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination is selected, only the general winning combination work is cleared.

Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.
The main CPU 41a refers to the table index and the table creation data stored in the ROM 41b when the rotation of the reel starts and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. Create a stop control table for each reel. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  Next, when the main CPU 41a effectively detects any one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel, the control when the display result is derived to the corresponding reel will be described. When one of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop operation position area is determined based on the number of steps from the reel reference position when the stop operation is detected. The number is specified, the stop control table of the reel where the stop operation is detected is referred, and the number of sliding symbols corresponding to the area number of the specified stop operation position is acquired. Then, control is performed to rotate and stop the reel by the number of acquired sliding frames. Specifically, from the number of steps from the reel reference position at the time when the stop operation is detected, the number of steps from the acquired number of sliding frames to the stop is calculated, and the reel is rotated and stopped by the calculated number of steps. Take control. Thus, the region corresponding to the region number that is the stop position ahead of the number of sliding frames from the region corresponding to the region number of the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the fluoroscopic window 3 The lower symbol area).

  In the table index of the present embodiment, only one address is stored as index data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state, and one table creation data includes one reel. Only one address is stored as the address of the storage area of the stop control table corresponding to the stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). In other words, table creation data corresponding to one internal winning state in one gaming state and stop control tables corresponding to reel stop states (and stopped positions of stopped reels) are uniquely determined. The stop control table created with reference to is unique for one internal winning state in one gaming state and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel). Therefore, when all of the gaming state, the internal winning state, and the reel stop status (and the stop position of the stopped reel) are the same, the reel is based on the same stop control table, that is, the same control pattern. The stop control is performed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, a value of 0 to 4 is determined as the number of sliding frames, and it is possible to stop the reel by drawing a maximum of 4 frames after detecting a stop operation. In other words, the stop position of the symbol can be designated from a range of a maximum of 5 frames including the stop operation position where the stop operation is detected. In addition, since it is necessary to move one frame to move the reel for one symbol, it is possible to stop the reel by pulling in a maximum of four symbols after detecting the stop operation. The symbol stop position can be designated from a range of up to five symbols including the operation position.

  In the present embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum of 4 frames on any of the winning lines, and the winning combination is placed on any of the winning lines. Create a stop control table with the number of sliding frames to be drawn so as not to be aligned, and control the stop of the reels. If no winning combination is won, none of the winning combinations are on the winning line A stop control table in which the number of sliding frames is determined is created, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if a winning combination can be stopped on any winning line in a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames, control is performed to align and stop them. In this case, the winning combination is controlled so that the winning combination is stopped within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the “bell” on the left reel, the “bell” on the middle reel, and the “bell” on the right reel that make up the bell are arranged at intervals of 4 frames each. Regardless of the timing at which the reels are stopped, the “bell-bell-bell” combination is always on the winning line, and the bell wins. In addition, the “replay” for the left reel, “replay” for the middle reel, and “replay” for the right reel, which are part of the replay, are arranged at intervals of 4 frames each. In any case, the combination of “replay-replay-replay” is always on the winning line and the replay wins.

  On the other hand, the “bell” and “replay” on the right reel that make up the cherry are arranged at intervals of 4 frames or less, but the “cherry” on the left reel that makes up the cherry has an interval exceeding 7 frames. When the cherry is won, the combination of “Cherry-ANY-Bell” or “Cherry-ANY-Replay” will be placed on the winning line if the left reel is stopped at the timing of the “Cherry” pull-in range. The cherries will be won all at once, but if the right reel is stopped at a timing that is outside the “cherry” pull-in range, the cherries will not be won and will be missed.

  In addition, the "watermelon" on the left reel, the "watermelon" on the middle reel, and the "watermelon" on the right reel, which make up the watermelon, are located at intervals of more than 4 frames. If the operation of stopping each reel is performed at the timing of the drawing range, the combination of "watermelon-watermelon-watermelon" will be aligned with the winning line, and the watermelon will win. If the stop operation is performed at a timing outside the range, the watermelon will not be won and will be lost.

  Also, BB (1) to (2) has a place where the constituent symbols are arranged at intervals exceeding 4 frames, and even if any of BB (1) to (2) wins, the configuration of the winning BB If the reels are stopped at the timing of the symbol drawing range, the winning BB will win, but at any one of the reels, the stopping operation will be performed at a timing outside the winning BB component symbol drawing range. If you do, BB will not win and you will miss it. BB will be carried over to the next game even if it is missed as described above, so if you win BB once, for example, even if you miss it, you will be awarded by performing a stop operation at an appropriate timing after the next game Is possible.

  If the special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or if the special role and the small role are elected at the same time when the special role is not carried over, the special role and the small role are won simultaneously. The number of sliding symbols is set so that the winning small role is drawn to the winning line within the range of 4 frames, and the winning small role is drawn to the winning line within the range of up to 4 frames. For stop operation positions that cannot be inserted, a stop control table in which the number of sliding symbols is determined so as to draw the selected special combination to the winning line in the range of 4 frames to the maximum is created, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, Control is performed to align and stop this, and the winning combination that has not been won is controlled to be removed and stopped within the draw-in range of 4 frames. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be made effective only when the small combination cannot be drawn.

  In this embodiment, when a special combination and a small combination are won simultaneously, priority is given to the control of aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and only when the small combination cannot be withdrawn. Although it is a configuration that allows a winning combination to be awarded, priority is given to the control of aligning a special winning role on the winning line over a small winning role, and it is possible to win a winning role only when the special winning role cannot be drawn. It is good also as composition which becomes.

  The special role and re-playing role are selected when the re-playing role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when the special role and re-playing role are won at the same time without the special role being carried over. In the case of winning at the same time, when a stop operation is performed, control is performed so that the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped on the winning line within a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-playing combination are arranged within 5 symbols for each of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R, that is, with an interval of 4 frames or less. Therefore, if a special combination and a replaying player are elected at the same time, the replaying game will always be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L, 8C and 8R by the player. Will be. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win.

  In the present embodiment, after the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R starts, the main CPU 41a continues to rotate the reels for which the stop operation has not yet been detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected. Then, on the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected, control is performed to stop the display result on the corresponding reel. Even if the reel rotation temporarily stops due to the occurrence of a reel rotation error, the stop operation is still detected until the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected after the reel rotation is restarted. Control is performed to stop the display result of the corresponding reels on the condition that the rotation of the reels that have not been continued is continued and the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected.

  In the present embodiment, the control to stop the display result on the corresponding reel is performed on the condition that the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is detected, but the rotation of the reel is started. Then, when a predetermined automatic stop time has elapsed, even if the reel stop operation is not performed, it is assumed that the stop operation has been performed, and automatic stop control is performed to automatically stop each reel. Anyway. In this case, since the reels are stopped without the player's operation, it is preferable to derive a display result that does not constitute any combination even if any combination is won.

  Next, commands that the main CPU 41a transmits to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 41a makes a BET command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning determination command, a payout start command, a payout end command, a gaming state to the effect control board 90. A plurality of types of commands including a command, a standby command, an abort command, an error command, a return command, a setting start command, a confirmation start command, a confirmation end command, and an operation detection command are transmitted.

  These commands are composed of 1-byte type data indicating the type of command and 1-byte extension data indicating the content of the command, and the sub CPU 91a can determine the type of command from the type data.

  The BET command is a command that can specify the number of inserted medals, that is, the number of medals used to set the bet number, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game. Sent when a medal is inserted or the MAXBET switch 6 is operated to set the number of bets in a state where is not set. Further, since the BET command is transmitted when the betting number setting operation is performed, it is possible to specify that the betting number setting operation has been performed by receiving the BET command.

  The credit command is a command that can specify the number of medals stored as credits, and is a state from the end of the game (after setting change) to the start of the game, and in a state where a predetermined number of bets is set, Sent when a medal is inserted and credits are added.

  The internal winning command is a command that can specify the winning status of the internal winning flag and the type of the internal winning flag that has been established, and is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated to start the game. Further, since the internal winning command is transmitted when the start switch 7 is operated, it is possible to specify that the start switch 7 has been operated by receiving the internal winning command.

  The reel rotation start command is a command for notifying the start of reel rotation, and is transmitted when rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is started.

  The reel stop command is a command that can specify whether the reel to be stopped is the left reel, the middle reel, or the right reel, the area number of the corresponding reel stop operation position, and the area number of the corresponding reel stop position. And is transmitted each time stop control is performed in accordance with the stop operation of each reel. Since the reel stop command is transmitted when the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated, it is possible to specify that the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated by receiving the reel stop command. .

  The winning determination command is a command that can specify the presence / absence of winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the time of winning, and is transmitted after all the reels are stopped and the winning determination is performed.

  The payout start command is a command for notifying the start of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals is started by paying out a prize or credit (including medals used for setting the number of bets). The payout end command is a command for notifying the end of payout of medals, and is transmitted when the payout of medals by winning and winning a credit is completed.

  The game state command is a command that can specify the game state of the next game, and is transmitted when the setting change state ends and when the game ends.

  The standby command is a command indicating a transition to the standby state, and after one game is over, a credit (which was used for setting the bet number) is set when the transition to the standby state is made after a predetermined time without setting the bet number. (Including medals) is sent out after the medal payout is completed and the payout end command is sent.

  The stop command is a command indicating the occurrence or release of the stop state, and after the end of the BB, the stop command indicating the occurrence of the stop state is transmitted when the ending effect waiting time has elapsed, and the reset operation is performed. When the stop state is released, a stop command indicating the release of the stop state is transmitted.

  An error command is a command that indicates the occurrence or cancellation of an error condition and the type of error condition. When an error is determined and controlled to an error condition, an error command indicating the occurrence and type of the error condition is sent and reset. When the error state is canceled after the operation is performed, an error command indicating the cancellation of the error state is transmitted.

  The return command is a command indicating that the main CPU 41 has returned to the control state before the power interruption, and is transmitted when the main CPU 41a is restored to the control state before the power interruption.

  The setting start command is a command indicating the start of the setting change state, and is transmitted when shifting to the setting change state. Further, since the control state of the main CPU 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it can be specified that the control state of the main CPU 41 has been initialized by the setting start command.

  The confirmation start command is a command indicating the start of the setting confirmation state, and is transmitted when shifting to the setting confirmation state. The confirmation end command is a command indicating the end of the setting confirmation state, and is transmitted when the setting confirmation state ends.

  The operation detection command is a command indicating the detection state (ON / OFF) of operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R), and is transmitted at regular intervals.

  Among these commands, a setting start command, an error command indicating a RAM abnormality, and a return command are generated at a stage before an interrupt is permitted in the startup process and stored in a specific command transmission buffer assigned to a special work in the RAM 41c. And sent immediately.

  Commands other than a setting start command, an error command indicating a RAM abnormality, a return command, and an operation detection command are generated according to the progress of the game in the game process, and are temporarily stored in a normal command transmission buffer provided in a special work in the RAM 41c. Stored and transmitted in timer interrupt processing (main).

  In the present embodiment, a command is generated in the game process and stored in the normal command transmission buffer. When an untransmitted command stored in the command transmission buffer is detected in the command transmission processing in the timer interrupt 2, the untransmitted command stored in the normal command transmission buffer is transmitted.

  In addition, the normal command transmission buffer has an area where a plurality of commands can be stored, so that newly generated commands can be stored without waiting for transmission of unsent commands stored in the normal command transmission buffer. Normally, it can be stored in an empty area of the command transmission buffer. That is, a plurality of commands can be stored in the normal command transmission buffer.

  In addition, when commands are stored in the normal command transmission buffer in the game process, these commands are stored in the order of generation, and in the command transmission process, the commands are transmitted in the order generated and stored in the normal command transmission buffer. It has become. That is, the commands stored in the normal command transmission buffer are transmitted in the order in which they are generated and stored.

  The operation detection command is generated every time the command transmission process is executed five times, stored in the aforementioned specific command transmission buffer, and immediately transmitted. In addition, when the operation detection command transmission time is reached with the unsent command stored in the normal command transmission buffer, priority is given to the transmission of the operation detection command and the normal command transmission buffer stores it. The untransmitted command is transmitted in the next command transmission process, and a plurality of commands are not transmitted in one command transmission process.

  Next, the control of the effect performed by the sub control unit 91 based on a command transmitted from the main CPU 41a to the effect control board 90 will be described.

  The sub CPU 91a executes a command reception interrupt process when a strobe signal indicating the transmission of a command from the main CPU 41a is input. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub CPU 91a is the earliest stage. Based on the received command, the control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to. Based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table, various effects such as the liquid crystal display 51, the effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, etc. Control the output of the device.

  In the control pattern table, the display pattern of the liquid crystal display 51 corresponding to the type of command, the lighting mode of the lighting effect LED 52, the output mode of the speakers 53 and 54, the lighting mode of the reel LED, etc. The control patterns of these effect devices are registered, and when the sub CPU 91a receives the command, the sub CPU 91a, among the control patterns registered corresponding to the effect patterns set in the RAM 91c in the game of the control pattern table, With reference to the control pattern corresponding to the type of command received, output control of the rendering device is performed based on the control pattern. Thereby, the production according to the production pattern and the progress of the game is executed.

  If the sub CPU 91a receives a new command during execution of an effect triggered by the reception of a certain command, the sub CPU 91a stops the effect based on the control pattern being executed, and responds to the newly received command. An effect based on the control pattern is executed. In other words, even if the production is not finished to the end, when a new command is received, the production that was being executed is canceled and a new command is canceled unless the received new command is not a command that triggers a new production. An effect based on the command is executed.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, when a betting number setting operation is performed during execution of an effect, that is, when the sub CPU 91a receives a BET command indicating that the betting number has been set, the effect being executed is displayed. It is supposed to cancel. For this reason, if the player wants to proceed to the next game rather than seeing the production to the end, the production is canceled and the next game can be started. There is no. Further, when a credit or bet amount adjustment operation is performed during the performance, that is, after the sub CPU 91a receives a game state command indicating the end of the game, and before receiving an internal winning command indicating the start of the game. When the payout start command is received, the performance being executed is stopped. Credits and bets are settled when the game is terminated. In such a case, by terminating the performance that is being executed, there is an intention to end the game, but the performance continues unnecessarily. It is designed not to be overwhelmed.

  When the internal winning command is received, the effect pattern is selected at a selection rate corresponding to the result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command, and is set in the RAM 91c. The selection rate of the effect pattern is registered in the effect table stored in the ROM 91b, and when the sub CPU 91a receives the internal winning command, the sub CPU 91a sets the level and the effect setting described later as a result of the internal lottery indicated by the internal winning command. Accordingly, the selection rate registered in the effect table is referred to, one of the effect patterns is selected from the plurality of types of effect patterns according to the selection rate, and the selected effect pattern is set in the RAM 91c as the effect pattern of the game. Even if the same command is received, a different control pattern is selected depending on the effect pattern selected when the internal winning command is received. As a result, different effects may be performed depending on the effect pattern.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 41a transmits an operation detection command that can specify that the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R have been operated to the sub CPU 91a, whereby the sub CPU 91a. However, it is possible to specify that the operation switch detected by the main CPU 41a has been operated regardless of whether the operation switch is involved in the game progress control in each control state. It is possible to produce effects according to operation of operation switches not involved in control, and to operate a main menu screen described later.

  Further, the main CPU 41a determines whether the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are operated. By periodically transmitting an operation detection command that can specify the ON / OFF state of the sub CPU 91a, the sub CPU 91a can periodically specify the ON / OFF state of these operation switches. Even if an operation detection command is missed, it is possible to specify the latest detection state for all operation switches based on the operation detection command sent next time, and operation of the operation switches not involved in game progress control It is possible to reliably execute the production according to the situation.

  Further, since it is possible to specify the detection states of all of the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R from the operation detection command, the sub CPU 91a can simultaneously operate a plurality of switches or perform specific operations. It is possible to produce an effect reflecting the operation status of a plurality of operation switches such as an operation of only the switch, and it is possible to produce various effects using the operation of the operation switch.

  In the present embodiment, the main CPU 41a operates regardless of whether any of the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, and the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R is operated. The operation detection command that can specify the ON / OFF state of each of 8L, 8C, and 8R is transmitted at regular intervals, but only when the detection state (ON / OFF) of any operation switch changes. An operation detection command indicating that may be transmitted. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce the transmission of the operation detection command as much as possible and reduce the control load related to the transmission of the operation detection command. In addition, the sub CPU 91a does not need to receive an operation detection command more than necessary.

  Further, when the detection state (ON / OFF) of any operation switch changes, an operation detection command that can specify the detection state of another operation switch in addition to the detection state of the operation switch is sent to the sub CPU 91a. It is also possible to have a configuration for transmission, and with this configuration, transmission of operation detection commands can be reduced as much as possible, and the sub CPU 91a detects the detection state of the operation switch whose detection state has changed from the operation detection command. In addition, the detection state of other operation means can be specified, and the sub CPU 91a can perform effects reflecting the operation statuses of a plurality of operation means. Can be anything.

  In the RAM 91c of the sub-control unit 91, a detection state storage area in which the change state of the detection state of the operation switch is stored for each operation switch, and an operation detection flag indicating that the operation state of the operation switch has changed are provided for each operation switch. An operation detection flag storage area to be stored is allocated. Furthermore, the detection state storage area is assigned with a detection state before receiving the operation detection command (previous) and a detection state after receiving the operation detection command (this time). The detection state of each operation switch before and after reception is stored.

  The sub CPU 91a performs an operation detection process when it is determined in the timer interrupt process (sub) that an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. In the operation detection process, it is determined whether the unprocessed command is an operation detection command. If it is determined that the command is an operation detection command, the current detection state stored in the detection state storage area is changed to the previous detection state. Moved and stored the detection state of each operation switch indicated by the operation detection command as the current detection state, and when there is an operation switch in which the previous detection state and the current detection state are different, changes from OFF to ON In this case, a rising flag is set as an operation detection flag corresponding to the operation switch, and when it is changed from ON to OFF, a falling flag is set as an operation detection flag corresponding to the operation switch.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main CPU 41a periodically transmits an operation detection command that can specify the detection states of all the operation switches regardless of whether or not the detection state of the operation switches has changed. When the sub CPU 91a receives the operation detection command, the sub CPU 91a updates the detection state of each operation switch before and after receiving the operation detection command stored in the detection state storage area. An operation detection flag corresponding to the operation switch is set, and the sub CPU 91a confirms the presence or absence of the operation detection flag, thereby receiving the operation detection command in addition to the fact that the detection state of the operation switch has changed. How the detection state of each operation switch has changed before and after, that is, whether it has changed from OFF to ON, from ON to OF It has become the one, to be able to determine the changes to.

  For this reason, the sub CPU 91a can perform an effect or change the effect according to not only the timing when the operation of the operation switch is started but also the timing when the operation is released, and is not involved in the progress control of the game. Various effects can be performed according to the operation mode of the operation switch.

  In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 91a can determine how the detection state of each operation switch before and after receiving the operation detection command has changed in addition to the change in the detection state of the operation switch. However, the sub CPU 91a may be configured to be able to determine only that the operation switch has been operated, that is, changed from OFF to ON. With such a configuration, an operation that does not affect the progress control of the game. It is possible to reduce the control load on the sub CPU 91a due to the operation of the switch.

  The detection state storage area stores the detection state of each operation switch, and the sub CPU 91a is set with any operation detection flag, and the change in the detection state of the operation switch corresponding to the operation detection flag is changed. When it is identified, it is possible to identify not only the operation switch whose detection state has changed but also the detection state of other operation switches by checking the detection state of other operation switches in the detection state storage area. .

  For this reason, it is possible to specify a state in which a plurality of operation switches are operated at the same time, and it is possible to produce effects by operating the plurality of operation switches at the same time. Various effects can be produced depending on how the operation switches are operated. It can be performed.

  In addition, when the sub CPU 91a performs an effect by simultaneously operating the left stop switch and the middle stop switch, the left stop switch is detected and the right stop switch is not detected. If an operation of the middle stop switch is detected, the corresponding effect is performed. If both the left stop switch and the right stop switch are detected, and the operation of the middle stop switch is detected, the same as above. In this case, the operation of the left stop switch and the middle stop switch is detected at the same time. In this case, the corresponding effect is not performed.

  That is, when performing a specific operation effect in response to an operation of a specific operation switch, if an operation switch other than the specific operation switch is operated together with the specific operation switch, the specific operation effect is not performed. ing.

  For this reason, a specific operation effect based on an operation of a specific operation switch is performed when the specific operation switch is operated simultaneously with another operation switch or when the other operation switch is operated. Since it is not executed and a specific operation effect is not executed by an erroneous operation, the specific operation effect can be executed only for a player who desires the specific operation effect.

  In addition, when an operation switch other than the specific operation switch is operated together with the specific operation switch as described above, a part of the operation switches for executing each effect by not performing the specific operation effect. Even in the case of overlapping, it is possible to execute different effects. That is, one effect is executed by operating the left stop switch and the middle stop switch at the same time, and the other effect is executed by operating the middle stop switch and the right stop switch at the same time. When the middle stop switch is operated while the right stop switch and the right stop switch are operated at the same time, whether the left stop switch and the middle stop switch are operated simultaneously or whether the middle stop switch and the right stop switch are operated simultaneously. It becomes impossible to discriminate, and it becomes impossible to assign effects only to one of the simultaneous operations, but when an operation switch other than a specific operation switch is operated together with a specific operation switch Even if it is a case like the above by not performing a specific operation effect It can be assigned an effect for each of the simultaneous operation as it can be performed more diverse effect by way of the operation of a plurality of operation switches.

  In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 91a gives an experience value on the condition that a predetermined achievement condition is satisfied when a password described later is input at the start of the game, and the level is increased every time 10 experience values are obtained. It comes to add. Each time the level value exceeds a certain value, the number of types of effects that may be executed is increased. Specifically, it includes an effect table 1 used for levels 1 to 30, an effect table 2 used for levels 31 to 60, and an effect table 3 used for levels 61 to 99. In addition to the effect patterns registered in the table 1, an effect pattern that is not registered in the effect table 1 is defined, and the effect table 3 includes an effect pattern that is registered in the effect tables 1 and 2. When an effect pattern not registered in tables 1 and 2 is defined, and the effect pattern is selected using an effect table corresponding to the current level among effect tables 1 to 3, the level exceeds 30 When the number exceeds 60, the production pattern increases.

  Also, every time the level value exceeds a certain value, the items that can be selected as the effect setting are increased. Specifically, the frequency of the production (production setting 1), the main character (production setting 2), the costume of the character (production setting 3), the background design of the production (production setting 4), BGM (production) Setting 5) can be selected. In these production settings, three types can be selected until the level exceeds 30, and when the level exceeds 30, five types can be selected. Selectable from types.

  As an achievement condition to which an experience value is given, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, when a special effect indicating the possibility of winning a special role is executed and the special role is won or missed, a bonus confirmation screen is displayed. The case where it is displayed is determined, the difficulty level of each achievement condition, the current level, the experience value given according to the number of games since the game was started is determined, and when the achievement condition is established Experience values according to the situation will be given.

  The continuous effect B shown in FIG. 10 is an effect indicating that the possibility of winning the special role is higher than the continuous effect A, that is, an effect in which the ratio selected at the time of winning the special role is higher than the continuous effect A. It is an effect whose appearance rate is lower than that of the continuous effect A.

  And when the continuous production A is executed and the special role is not won, and when the continuous production B is executed and the special role is not won, the latter has more experience values. Even if there is a high possibility that a special role has been won, more experience points will be given if the special role is not won .

  Moreover, when the continuous production A is executed and the special role is not won, and when the continuous production A is executed and the special role is won, the latter has more experience points. Even if the possibility of winning a special role is low, more experience points will be given if a special role is won. .

  Moreover, even when the same achievement condition is satisfied, the experience value given by 0 to 499G, 500 to 699G, and 700G or more is different, so that as the number of games increases, more experience value is given. It has become.

Further, every time the value of the level exceeds a certain value, the experience value to be given decreases, and the experience value to be given decreases. Specifically, if it exceeds level 30, if it exceeds the level 6 0, experience points respectively applied is controlled so as to decrease, depending on the achieved condition, experience value is no longer applied. For this reason, every time the level exceeds a certain value, it becomes difficult to further increase the level.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the experience value is given when the achievement condition according to the result of the game is satisfied, the level increases according to the experience value, and the production pattern increases. In addition, the setting items for production increase, and the player's willingness to play a game can be effectively enhanced.

  In addition, conditions other than the conditions shown in FIG. 10 are prepared in advance as the achievement conditions. For example, a site for managing game history such as purchasing an avatar item and purchasing content data (music, images) In addition, a condition for giving a coin (gold, silver, copper) managed by the management server 1200 that can be used in the server, a condition for obtaining a result of achievement of a specific mission, and the like are also included.

  In addition, there is an effect that is executed on condition that the level is more than a certain level, the cumulative number of games and the cumulative number of bonuses are more than a certain number, and the above-mentioned mission is more than a certain level. , Missions achieved by performing effects that do not appear unless the cumulative number of games or the number of cumulative bonuses exceeds a certain number, that is, the level above a certain level, the number of cumulative games, the number of cumulative bonuses, etc. must be above a certain number Missions that cannot be achieved are defined, and the player's willingness to play and raise the level can be effectively increased.

In addition, the sub CPU 91a is configured so that a story consisting of a plurality of stages progresses sequentially on the liquid crystal display 51 in accordance with the number of games when a password to be described later is input at the start of the game. Specifically, when the story reaches a certain stage according to the number of games, the next stage is developed.

  In addition, when a password, which will be described later, is input at the start of the game, the sub CPU 91a, when the anniversary specified from the input password indicates a specific anniversary, the anniversary effect ( For example, when the birthday of the player is specified, it is possible to execute an effect that congratulates the player by satisfying certain conditions.

Further, the value of the level can take over not only the value increased in one slot machine 1 but also the value increased in other slot machines 1. Further, not only the level value but also the stage of the story developed in the other slot machine 1 or when the player changes the production setting in the other slot machine 1, the setting contents can be taken over.

  Specifically, by selecting “password input” from the main menu screen shown in FIG. 11A and inputting the password issued by the management server 1200, the level and effect setting according to the previous game history It is possible to play games by taking over (including the story stage).

  The password, which will be described in detail later, is eight characters that can specify the anniversary, level, model information, latest information, and other presentation settings according to the individual player's game history managed by the management server 1200 described later. Character data consisting of

  The main menu screen is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 when the effect switch 56 is operated in the control state from the end of the game (after the setting change) until the bet amount is set.

  When the main menu screen is displayed, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the stop switch 8L is operated to move to the left menu item, and the stop switch 8R is operated. To move to the menu item on the right. Then, the menu item displayed in front is selected by operating the effect switch 56. Further, when the effect switch 56 is operated in a state where “End” is displayed in front as a menu item or when the stop switch 8C is operated for a predetermined time or longer, as shown in FIG. An end confirmation screen in which “YES” and “NO” can be selected is displayed. On the end confirmation screen, the stop switches 8L and 8R and the production switch 56 are operated, and “YES” is selected from “YES” and “NO”. Thus, it returns to the basic screen (normal screen before shifting to the main menu screen). In addition, the screen returns to the basic screen when a time determined for each screen elapses without any operation.

  On the main menu screen before password entry or before the game start by simple start, which will be described later, as shown in FIG. 11A, menu items of “easy start”, “password entry”, “member registration”, and “end” are displayed. By selecting the password menu by operating the stop switches 8L and 8R and the effect switch 56 on the main menu screen before the password input or before the game start by the simple start described later, FIG. The password input screen shown in b) is displayed. In the password input screen, as shown in FIG. 12 (c), characters are moved by operating the stop switches 8L and 8R, and as shown in FIG. 13 (a), by operating the effect switch 56, The character displayed in front is selected.

  Each time one character is selected, the next character can be selected. Further, by operating the effect switch 56 in a state where “return one character” is displayed in front, the character in front can be selected again. Then, when the password of 8 characters is selected, it moves to the determination column, and as shown in FIG. 13B, the effect switch 56 is operated in a state where characters other than “return one character” are displayed in front. Thus, the password is determined.

  If the entered password is authenticated as a legitimate password, a password entry OK screen is displayed as shown in FIG. The password input OK screen is switched to the basic screen when the effect switch 56 is operated or a time determined for each screen elapses. If the password is not authenticated as a regular password, a password entry NG screen (not shown) is displayed. The password input NG screen is also switched to the basic screen by operating the effect switch 56 or when a time determined for each screen elapses.

  When the password is authenticated as a legitimate password, the values of the personal history storage area (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs, achievement mission) assigned to the RAM 91c are initialized and analyzed from the password. The model information for identifying the model analyzed from the password is allocated to the RAM 91c, the level analyzed from the password is allocated to the anniversary storage area where the anniversary is allocated to the RAM 91c, and the level storage area is allocated to the RAM 91c. Effects in which the latest information indicating the latest game history analyzed from the password is assigned to the RAM 91c in the model information storage area, and other effects settings 1 to 3 analyzed from the password are assigned to the RAM 91c. It is set in the setting storage area, and according to this, according to the previous game history Level, and so that the effect setting is taken over. At this time, the input password itself is stored in a password storage area assigned to the RAM 91c.

  Next, the password analysis procedure will be described. In the ROM 91b, as shown in FIG. 15A, 0 to 31 corresponding to the characters constituting the password (32 types of Roman characters: 26 types and 6 types of symbols) are stored. A password analysis table in which a numerical value of the password is determined is stored. First, as shown in FIG. 15B, the password analysis table is referred to, and the input password is replaced with the corresponding numerical value. For example, if the password is “KZFJC = U *” as shown in FIG. 15B, “10-25-5-9-2-26-20-” according to the password analysis table shown in FIG. 30 ". Next, the replaced numerical value is converted into a binary number, and the value of the upper 4 bits and lower 2 bits in total 4 bits is specified as a random value (random value acquired when the management server 1200 issued the password), and the random value is excluded The 36-bit value is shifted to the right by a random value. For example, as shown in FIG. 15B, if the random value is 0110 (= 6), the 36-bit value excluding the random value is shifted rightward by 6 bits. At this time, the value overflowed in the right direction is shifted to the upper bits.

  Next, a hash value (a random number given by the management server 1200 to give a variation in passwords from the 36-bit value after the shift. In this embodiment, the lower 4 of the 36 bits excluding the random value is used. Except for the bit, the lower 8th bit, the lower 16th bit, the lower 23th bit, the lower 28th bit, and the lower 33th bit)). Analyze model information, latest information, and other performance settings.

  Of these 30-bit values, the lower 3 bits indicate the anniversary, the lower 4 bits to the lower 11 bits indicate the level, and the lower 12 bits to the lower 24 bits indicate the rendering settings 1 to 3, 5 bits, 4 bits, and 4 bits are assigned, respectively, the lower 25 bits to the lower 27 bits indicate the latest information, and the lower 28 bits to the lower 30 bits indicate the model information. Anniversary, level, model information, latest information, and other presentation settings specified from these values are set in the anniversary storage area, level storage area, model information storage area, latest information storage area, and presentation setting storage area, respectively. Will be.

  The lower 25 bits of the first bit of the latest information indicate whether or not the previous number of games is 700G or less, and is set to “1” when 700G or less. The lower 26 bits of the second bit of the latest information indicate whether or not the previous BB count is 10 or more, and is set to “1” when it is 10 or more. Of the latest information, the lower 27 bits of the third bit indicate whether or not one month or more has elapsed since the previous game, and is set to “1” when one or more months have elapsed.

  The model information is, for example, information indicating a distinction between a model series, a model name, a model specification, and the like.

  As described above, the personal history storage area is allocated to the RAM 91c, and the game history (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs) after the password is entered and authenticated as a regular password is accumulated. It has become so. Furthermore, when a mission (issue) set in advance in the slot machine has been achieved, a history of achievement missions indicating the types of missions achieved is also accumulated. In addition, as described above, every time 10 experience values are acquired, the level stored in the level storage area increases.

  When the player finishes the game, the player's game history, current level, experience value, number of acquired coins, production settings (model information and latest information are not included), history of achievement missions An identifiable two-dimensional code is acquired, and the contents specified from the two-dimensional code can be reflected in the contents of a player database described later provided in the management server 1200.

  As shown in FIG. 11B, on the main menu screen after the password is entered or after the game is started by the simple start described later, as shown in FIG. 14A, “DATA CLEAR” “2D code creation” “Today "End" menu items are displayed, and as shown in FIG. 14 (a) on the main menu screen after the password is entered or after the game is started by the simple start described later, By selecting the menu item “Create Dimension Code”, a two-dimensional code is generated, and the generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 16C, the output two-dimensional code is acquired every time the URL indicating the location of the update page on the management server, the password input at the start of the game, and the two-dimensional code is created. Personal history as a game history update data that is a game random number (32-bit random number in the present embodiment) that is a random value, and data that is updated as the game progresses to update the game history The total number of games stored in the storage area, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, the level value stored in the level storage area, the experience value stored in the experience value storage area assigned to the RAM 91c, and the effect setting storage area RA as acquired data that is updated according to the progress of the game regardless of the stored production settings 1 to 3, the type of mission accomplished, and the game history Acquired are stored in the acquisition coin storage area assigned to 91c coin count (gold, silver, copper) is stored.

  Here, in the two-dimensional code, the total number of games (0 to 9999 games) is 14 bits, the number of BBs (0 to 127) is 7 bits, the number of RBs (0 to 63) is 6 bits, level The value (0 to 199) is 8 bits, the experience value (0 to 999) is 10 bits, and the production settings 1 to 3 (respectively 0 to 99) are 7 bits (total 7 × 3 = 21 bits), 100 bits are used for the types of missions achieved (100 types), so 159 bits are used for the game history update data.

  On the other hand, since 4 bits (4 × 3 = 12 bits in total) are used for the number of acquired coins (gold, silver, bronze) (0 to 15 respectively), 12 bits are used for the acquired data. .

  In this way, the acquisition data used for granting a privilege such as an item can be handled only by the data amount of information related to the granting of the game, unlike the game history update data used for outputting the game history. The proportion occupied can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the experience value stored in the experience value storage area is the remaining fractional experience value used for level up.

  Then, the two-dimensional code is read by the portable terminal 1100 and accessed to the URL of the management server 1200 specified from the two-dimensional code, so that the content specified from the two-dimensional code is the content of the player database included in the management server 1200. To be reflected.

  Also, until the two-dimensional code is displayed after the password is authenticated, the input of a new password is prohibited. When the two-dimensional code is displayed and the display is cleared, The password stored in the password storage area, the total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, the type of mission accomplished, the level value stored in the level storage area, the experience value storage area The stored experience value, the number of earned coins (gold, silver, bronze) stored in the earned coin storage area, and the contents of effect settings 1 to 3 stored in the effect setting storage area are all cleared, and again Password entry is allowed.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, by inputting the password when starting the game, the past game history such as the level, the number of acquired coins, and the effect setting when the previous game was played is reflected. An effect can be executed, and an effect with continuity can be performed for a long period of time. Also, since the password is included in the two-dimensional code that is output to specify a new game history, the password is issued by authenticating the password included in the two-dimensional code at the management server 1200 that issues the password. It is possible to determine whether the player has received the game, and even if a third party obtains another person's password and plays the game to obtain a two-dimensional code, or obtains another person's two-dimensional code. However, the game history specified from the two-dimensional code cannot be reflected in the player's own, and a new game history can be taken over by the player who has received the password, while the password is issued. It becomes impossible for a player other than the player to take over the game history. As a result, it is meaningless to divert or steal a password or a two-dimensional code. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the diversion or theft of a password and a two-dimensional code.

  In addition, since the password changes according to a random value that changes every time the password is issued by the management server 1200, even if a game history having the same content is specified, the password is not necessarily the same. It becomes difficult to guess.

  In the present embodiment, if the player has already been registered in the management server 1200, the player can start the game that can store the game history by only operating the effect switch 56 without entering the password. It becomes possible.

  Specifically, the personal history storage area (total number) assigned to the RAM 91c is determined by operating the game start operation, in the present embodiment, by operating the effect switch 56 for a certain period of time (hereinafter referred to as long press of the effect switch 56). The values of the number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the achievement mission are initialized. When the effect switch 56 is pressed for a long time, after the effect switch 56 is pressed for a long time or a game start operation associated with the input of a password is performed, “2D code creation” is not selected. Even so, the value of the personal history storage area is initialized.

  In the personal history storage area, game histories (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs) from a game start operation associated with a long press of the effect switch 56 are accumulated. Furthermore, when a mission (issue) set in advance in the slot machine is achieved as in the case where a password is input, a history of achievement missions indicating the types of missions achieved is also accumulated. However, when a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the production switch 56 without entering a password, unlike the case where a password is entered, no experience value is given, and the level does not increase. Coins are not given, and the production setting cannot be changed from the default setting.

  Then, when the player finishes the game, if a game end operation is performed (“2D code creation” is selected on the main menu screen), a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56. A two-dimensional code is generated from the game history from and displayed.

  Then, the player obtains the displayed two-dimensional code with a portable terminal and accesses the management server 1200 to thereby obtain a game history specified from the two-dimensional code by the portable terminal owned by the player. It can be reflected in the game history registered in the player database corresponding to the terminal identification information.

  The two-dimensional code displayed when the game is ended after the game is started by the start operation of the game accompanying the long press of the effect switch 56 is different from the case where the game is started by inputting the password. The URL indicating the location of the update page, the total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the type of mission accomplished are stored.

  Then, the two-dimensional code is read by the portable terminal 1100, and the URL of the management server 1200 specified by the two-dimensional code is accessed, so that the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed portable terminal is already registered in the player database. When the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed mobile terminal is already registered, the game history corresponding to the matching terminal identification information is updated. .

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, if the player is already registered in the management server 1200, the password can be input without only entering the password by simply pressing the effect switch 56. The game can be performed in the same manner as in the case. At the end of the game, a two-dimensional code capable of specifying the game history from the start operation of the game accompanying the long press of the effect switch 56 to the end is displayed. Then, by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, on the management server 1200 side, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that transmitted the game history is stored in the player database of the management server 1200. It is determined whether or not already registered, and if already registered, the game history corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information is updated to the game history specified from the two-dimensional code. For this reason, it is possible for a player whose terminal identification information has already been registered in the player database to use the game history storage function without receiving a password, and then to terminate the game. By simply accessing the management server 1200 with the displayed two-dimensional code, it becomes possible to register / store the game history during that time in the management server 1200.

  In the present embodiment, the use of the function of accumulating the game history can be started by pressing and holding the effect switch 56 once, but “easy start” is a menu item on the main menu screen. Separately, it is possible to provide a use start item for a function for accumulating a game history, and to start using the function for accumulating a game history by designating the item, or by long pressing the effect switch 56 and the main menu screen. It is good also as a structure which can start utilization of the function which accumulate | stores game history by both item designation | designated.

  In this embodiment, in order to receive a password issued from the management server 1200, the management server 1200 is accessed in advance with a portable terminal or the like, and terminal identification information (SIM data) of the portable terminal is registered by member registration or the like. There is a need. In this embodiment, the URL indicating the location of the member registration page of the management server 1200 is specified by selecting “member registration” on the main menu screen before password input shown in FIG. A two-dimensional code is generated and displayed, and the member registration page of the management server 1200 can be easily accessed by reading the two-dimensional code with a portable terminal.

  Further, in the present embodiment, even a player who has not previously registered as a member by accessing the management server 1200 can start a game using a function for storing a game history.

  Specifically, by selecting “easy start” from the main menu screen shown in FIG. 11A, the sub CPU 91a obtains a starting random number from random numbers updated within a certain range, and is assigned to the RAM 91c. The obtained start random number is stored in the start random number storage area, and a two-dimensional code for the first start is generated and displayed. In this two-dimensional code, as shown in FIG. 16A, a URL indicating the location of the temporary registration page on the management server 1200 and a starting random number are stored, and this two-dimensional code is stored in the portable terminal. The terminal identification information (SIM data) assigned to the accessed mobile terminal 1100 and the starting random number specified from the two-dimensional code by accessing the URL of the management server 1200 that is read by 1100 and specified from the two-dimensional code Are temporarily registered in association with each other.

  On the other hand, in the slot machine 1, when “easy start” is selected, the values of the personal history storage areas (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs, achievement mission) assigned to the RAM 91c are initialized.

  In the personal history storage area, game histories (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs) since “easy start” is selected are accumulated. Furthermore, when a mission (issue) set in advance in the slot machine is achieved as in the case where a password is input, a history of achievement missions indicating the types of missions achieved is also accumulated. In addition, as described above, every time 10 experience values are acquired, the level stored in the level storage area increases.

  When the player finishes the game, the player obtains a two-dimensional code that can specify the player's game history, current level, production setting, and achievement mission history, and specifies the content specified from the two-dimensional code. The management server 1200 can be reflected in the contents of a player database described later.

  The two-dimensional code displayed when the game is finished after selecting “Easy Start” and starting the game is different from the case where the game is started by entering a password, as shown in FIG. 16B. URL indicating the location of the main registration page on the server, the starting random number stored in the starting random number storage area, and the total game stored in the personal history storage area as the game history update data described above Number, BB count, RB count, level value stored in the level storage area, experience value stored in the experience value storage area (fractional), effect settings 1 to 3 stored in the effect setting storage area, In addition, the type of achievement mission and the number of acquired coins stored in the acquired coin storage area as the acquisition data described above are stored.

  Whether or not the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed mobile terminal is provisionally registered by reading the two-dimensional code with the mobile terminal 1100 and accessing the URL of the management server 1200 specified from the two-dimensional code. If the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed mobile terminal is provisionally registered, the starting random number corresponding to the provisionally registered terminal identification information and the two-dimensional code are specified. It is determined whether or not the starting random number matches, and on the condition that they match, the game history specified by the two-dimensional code, the current level, the experience value (of fraction), and acquisition are acquired in association with the terminal identification information The number of coins, production settings, and achievement mission histories are registered, and the player's data is fully registered. Thereafter, the password is based on these data. It is possible to receive the issue of de.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, by inputting “easy start”, a starting random number is obtained, and only a two-dimensional code that can identify the starting random number is displayed. It is possible to play a game without entering the password as in the case of entering the password. Then, at the end of the game, a two-dimensional code that can specify the game history from the input of “easy start” to the end and the starting random number acquired when the “easy start” is input is displayed. Then, the player accesses and temporarily registers the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed at the start of the game, and accesses the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game. On the management server 1200 side, on the condition that the start random number specified from the two-dimensional code transmitted at the end of the game matches the start random number temporarily registered in the management server 1200, the two-dimensional code Thus, it is possible to newly register the game history specified from the above, that is, the game history of the player. For this reason, a player who uses the game history storage function for the first time does not need to access the management server 1200 in advance and register as a member before playing a game. The two-dimensional code displayed by inputting “easy start” By simply accessing the management server 1200, it becomes possible to start a game similar to the case where the password is input, and after that, only by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the end operation of the game, It is possible to register and store the game history during that time in the management server 1200.

  The sub CPU 91a according to the present embodiment switches to the basic screen after a predetermined period of time when no operation is performed after displaying the various menu screens shifted from the main menu screen as described above. Yes.

  The sub CPU 91a according to the present embodiment inputs the password when the user inputs a password, when “Easy start” is input, or when a game start operation associated with a long press of the effect switch 56 is performed. Control is made to a specific effect mode of an effect mode different from the effect mode (normal effect mode) when the game is played without the input of “start” and without the start operation of the game by the effect switch 56 being performed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the display area of the liquid crystal display 51 is assigned with specific effect areas 51a and 51b in a part thereof. In the normal effect mode, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are regularly arranged. Only a simple pattern is displayed.

  On the other hand, when controlled to the specific effect mode, as shown in FIG. 17, a character based on the effect setting set by the player is displayed in the specific effect area 51a, and in the specific effect area 51b. An experience value meter indicating the player's level value (level value specified from the password) and the experience value required until the next level increase is displayed. The target displayed in the specific effect areas 51a and 51b in the specific effect mode is not limited to the above. For example, the achievement status of the mission may be displayed.

  When a game start operation is performed in accordance with the operation of the effect switch 56, the effect setting, the level value, and the like cannot be specified. Therefore, the specific effect area 51a is not the effect setting set by the player. Characters based on default production settings are displayed, and level values and experience value meters are not displayed in the specific production area.

  Regardless of whether the mode is the normal effect mode or the specific effect mode, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b can be erased by operating the stop switch 8C for a predetermined time or more while the basic screen is displayed. However, in the default setting, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are displayed, and a game start operation (input of a password, input of “easy start”, and long press of the effect switch 56) is performed. If the game is finished or a game end operation (data clear or two-dimensional code display) is performed, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are displayed again even if the specific effect areas 51a and 51b have been deleted. It has become. Even when the stop switch 8C is operated for a predetermined time or more in a state where the basic screen is displayed and the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are deleted, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are displayed again. It has become.

  In the specific effect mode and the normal effect mode, the display modes in the areas other than the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are the same, and the same effect is performed. For example, regardless of the effect mode, an effect that rains in the background is performed, which suggests the result of an internal lottery as described later.

  On the other hand, in the specific effect mode, even if the display modes in the areas other than the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are the same, by changing the display contents of the specific effect areas 51a and 51b, the winning expectation degree of the special role is different there. It is also possible to

  As described above, since the display modes of the areas other than the specific effect areas 51a and 51b can be shared between the specific effect mode and the normal effect mode, the capacity of the image data and the moving image data to be used can be suppressed.

  Also, by entering the password and shifting to the specific effect mode, an experience value meter indicating the level value specified from the password and the experience value required until the next level rise is displayed, and the specific effect area It is possible to easily check the status of the game history using. Note that the game history displayed in the specific effect area is not limited to the level value and experience value as described above, but the accumulated game number and accumulated bonus number, as well as the level value and accumulated game that are the execution conditions for the aforementioned effects. The number or the remaining value up to the cumulative bonus number may be displayed.

  In addition, in this embodiment, it is a configuration that can be shifted to the specific effect mode other than the input of the password, but it may be configured to shift to the specific effect mode only when the password is input, and in this way, Even if the operation for shifting to the specific effect mode for collecting the game history is issued by the management server 1200 and a password is input, that is, a complicated operation is required, the game history is stored. It is possible to promote the use of the accumulated function.

  Next, the management server 1200, which is an example of the management apparatus of the present invention, will be described. The management server 1200 is configured by a general server computer having a CPU, a RAM, and the like, and is portable via the Internet network 900. Access is possible from the terminal 1100, and management of game history, issuance of passwords, provision of privileges, and the like are performed. The management server 1200 according to the present embodiment can be accessed only from a terminal to which terminal identification information (SIM data) is assigned, and a terminal to which terminal identification information is not assigned or terminal identification information is assigned. However, a terminal that refuses to transmit terminal identification information is denied access.

  The management server 1200 includes a player database that manages a player's game history, a game history database that manages a game history for each game, a privilege database that stores privilege data given to the player, and an unregistered player A temporary registration database for managing the temporary registration data.

  In the player database, as shown in FIG. 18A, in correspondence with terminal identification information (SIM data) that can identify the portable terminal owned by the player, the current status (standby, in game), Password (last issued), number of accesses (number of passwords issued), total number of games to date, total number of BBs, total number of RBs, current level, experience value (fractional), number of coins (gold, (Silver, copper), points, setting contents of production settings 1 to 3, and achievement status for each mission (1 for missions that have been achieved, 0 for missions that have not yet been achieved).

  The game history update data for updating the game history includes the total number of games up to now, the total number of BBs, the total number of RBs, the current level, the current experience value, the setting contents of the production settings 1 to 3, and by mission The achievement status (1 for missions that have been achieved, 0 for missions that have not yet been achieved). The acquired data is data such as the number of coins (gold, silver, bronze) and points.

  In the game history database, as shown in FIG. 18B, the game of the game corresponding to the terminal identification information (SIM data) that can identify the portable terminal owned by the player who played the game and the game date and time. Game random number randomly acquired by the slot machine 1 at the end, the number of games in the game, the number of BBs in the game, the number of RBs in the game, the level value at the end of the game of the game, the game of the game The experience value (of fraction) at the end, the setting contents of the production settings 1 to 3 at the end of the game, and the achievement status by mission in the game are stored.

  In the privilege database, as shown in FIG. 18C, corresponding to the privilege ID that can identify the privilege, the storage location of the privilege data, the type of privilege data, the type of condition for granting the privilege, Stores condition values. As the type of condition, a level, a mission achievement rate, the number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the like can be set, and a condition value according to the type can be set.

  In the temporary registration database, as shown in FIG. 18D, the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the mobile terminal that has transmitted the start registration request, the start random number specified from the start registration request, and the start time The registration date and time when the registration request is received are registered in association with each other.

  Next, the operations of the management server 1200, the slot machine 1, and the portable terminal 1100 when membership registration is performed by accessing the management server from the portable terminal 1100 will be described with reference to FIG. 19, FIG. 22, FIG. Based on FIG. 19 is a first flowchart showing a flow of history management processing executed by the management server 1200 according to this embodiment. FIG. 22 is a first flowchart showing a flow of password-related processing executed in the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the flow of main menu display processing executed in the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 29 is a diagram showing exchanges between the mobile terminal 1100 and the management server 1200 at the time of member registration.

  Referring to FIG. 22, in slot machine 1, in step S1201, sub CPU 91a of sub control unit 91 determines whether or not a main menu screen display operation has been performed. If it is determined that there is no main menu screen display operation (NO in step S1201), the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to the process in step S1221. On the other hand, when the effect switch 56 is operated, it is determined that a main menu screen display operation has been performed (YES is determined in step S1201), and in step S1210, the sub CPU 91a executes a main menu display process.

  Referring to FIG. 23, in the main menu display process, first, in step S1211, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not it is from the end of the game (after setting change) until the multiplier is set. If it is determined that this is not the time (NO in step S1211), the sub CPU 91a returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the time is from the end of the game until the multiplier is set (YES in step S1211), the sub CPU 91a has entered the password in step S1212 or is simple. Determine if it is after the start.

  If it is determined that the password has already been entered and it is neither after the simple start (when NO is determined in step S1212), in step S1213, the sub CPU 91a displays the main menu before password input shown in FIG. The display control circuit 92 is controlled to display the screen on the liquid crystal display 51. Thereafter, the sub CPU 91a returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the password has been entered or that it is after the simple start (if YES is determined in step S1212), the main menu screen after the start of game history collection shown in FIG. 14A is displayed in step S1214. The display control circuit 92 is controlled to display on the liquid crystal display 51. Thereafter, the sub CPU 91a returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  Returning to FIG. 22, after step S1210, the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to the process of step S1221. In step S1221, it is determined whether or not “member registration” is selected in the main menu before password input shown in FIG. If it is determined that it has not been selected (NO in step S1221), the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to the process of step S1223.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that “member registration” is selected (YES in step S1221), in step S1222, the sub CPU 91a displays a two-dimensional code that can specify the URL of the member registration page of the management server 1200 as a liquid crystal. The display control circuit 92 is controlled to display on the display 51.

  The user operates the mobile terminal 1100 to start application software for reading a two-dimensional code, and captures the two-dimensional code with the camera unit 190 of the mobile terminal 1100. As a result of analyzing the read two-dimensional code by the application software, the URL of the member registration page is displayed on the display unit 140 of the portable terminal 1100. When the user selects the URL, the browser is activated on the mobile terminal 1100 and connected to the member registration page specified by the URL.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 29, the user inputs member information such as a name on the member registration page, and sends a member registration request including the input member information and terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 to the management server 1200. To send.

  Referring to FIG. 19, in step S <b> 201, control unit 210 of management server 1200 determines whether a member registration request has been received from portable terminal 1100. If it is determined that it has not been received (NO in step S201), control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S211.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the member registration request has been received (YES in step S201), in step S202, the control unit 210 determines that the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 that has transmitted the member registration request is the player. Determine whether it is already registered in the database.

  When it is determined that the terminal identification information is already registered in the player database (when YES is determined in step S202), in step S203, the control unit 210 updates member information corresponding to the terminal identification information. Thereafter, in step S205, control unit 210 transmits the registration result to portable terminal 1100 indicated by the terminal identification information.

  Proceeding to FIG. 29, more specifically, when a member registration request is made from the mobile terminal 1100, the management server 1200 has already registered the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the member registration request in the player database. If there is matching terminal identification information, it is determined that only the terminal identification information has been registered by updating the registered member information or by simple start. The member information corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information in the database is updated to the member information specified from the member registration request, and the registration result is notified to the mobile terminal 1100 that made the member registration request.

  Returning to FIG. 19, when it is determined that the terminal identification information is not already registered in the player database (when NO is determined in step S202), in step S204, the control unit 210 displays the terminal identification information and the member. The member information included in the registration request is registered in the player database. Thereafter, the control unit 210 performs the process of step S205 described above.

  Proceeding to FIG. 29, more specifically, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the membership registration request does not match the terminal identification information already registered in the player database, an unregistered game As the member registration request by the user, the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 that has made the member registration request and the member information specified from the member registration request are newly registered in the player database, and the member registration request is made. The terminal 1100 is notified of the registration result.

  Upon receiving the registration result, the portable terminal 1100 displays the registration result and notifies the player to that effect.

  Next, the operations of the management server 1200, the slot machine 1, and the portable terminal 1100 when a player who plays a game for the first time inputs “easy start” and plays a game in the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 25 and 30. FIG. FIG. 25 is a second flowchart showing the flow of the password related processing executed in the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment. FIG. 30 is a diagram showing exchanges between the slot machine 1, the portable terminal 1100, and the management server 1200 when playing a game without registering a member in the first embodiment.

  Returning to FIG. 22, in step S1223, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not “easy start” is selected in the main menu before password input shown in FIG. If it is determined that it has not been selected (NO in step S1223), the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to step S1229.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that “member registration” has been selected (YES in step S1223), the sub CPU 91a obtains a starting random number and creates a two-dimensional code at the end of the game in step S1224. Therefore, the start random number is stored in the RAM 91c, a two-dimensional code is generated from the acquired start random number in step S1225, and the generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 in step S1226. The display control circuit 92 is controlled.

  Next, the sub CPU 91a controls to shift to the specific effect mode in step S1227, and starts collecting game histories in step S1228. Thereafter, the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to the process of step S1229.

  The flow will be described with reference to FIG. 30. When “Easy Start” is selected in the slot machine 1, a starting random number is acquired, and a URL indicating the location of the temporary registration page and a starting random number can be specified. A two-dimensional code for initial start is generated and displayed.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the mobile terminal 1100 and makes a start registration request including the start random number analyzed from the two-dimensional code and the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 to the management server 1200. Thus, the terminal identification information can be registered in the temporary registration database of the management server 1200.

  Returning to FIG. 19, in step S <b> 211, the control unit 210 of the management server 1200 determines whether a start registration request is received from the mobile terminal 1100. If it is determined that it has not been received (NO in step S211), control unit 210 advances the process to be performed to the process in step S221.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the start registration request has been received (YES in step S211), in step S212, the control unit 210 determines that the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 that is the transmission source of the start registration request is It is determined whether or not it is already registered in the player database.

  When it is determined that the terminal identification information is already registered in the player database (when YES is determined in step S212), in step S213, the control unit 210 indicates that the terminal identification information cannot be registered because it is already registered. It transmits to the portable terminal 1100 indicated by the information. Thereafter, the control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S221.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the terminal identification information is not already registered in the player database (when NO is determined in step S212), in step S214, the control unit 210 includes the terminal identification information included in the start time registration request and the start time information. The random number and the registration date and time that is the date and time when the start registration request is received are associated with each other and temporarily registered in the storage unit 220.

  Referring to FIG. 30, the flow will be described. When a start registration request is made from the mobile terminal 1100, the management server 1200 has already registered the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that made the start registration request in the player database. It is determined whether or not the terminal identification information matches, and if there is matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal is notified that registration is impossible.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the registration request at the start does not match the terminal identification information already registered in the player database, the terminal identification information identified from the registration request at the start, The random number and the registration date and time (date and time when the registration request at the start is received) are associated with each other and registered in the temporary registration database, and notification to that effect is sent to the mobile terminal.

  In the slot machine 1, when “Easy start” is input and a two-dimensional code is displayed, the starting random number is stored in the starting random number storage area and the game history is initialized to change from the normal effect mode to the specific effect mode. Transition. Thereafter, the game is started by the player.

  Referring to FIG. 25, in step S1261, the sub CPU 91a of the sub control unit 91 of the slot machine 1 selects “Create two-dimensional code” on the main menu screen after starting the game history collection shown in FIG. It is determined whether a condition such as whether or not has been accepted is satisfied. If the sub CPU 91a determines that the condition that the selection of “two-dimensional code creation” is accepted or the like is not satisfied (NO in step S1261), the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to step S1325.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that a condition such as “selection of“ two-dimensional code creation ”is accepted (YES in step S1261), the sub CPU 91a starts collecting game history in step S1321. It is determined whether or not a game has been played for 100 games or more.

  If it is determined that 100 games or more have not been played (if NO is determined in step S1321), in step S1322, the sub CPU 91a has less than 100 games, so the number of provisional coins accumulated before password input is 2. Control is performed to display on the liquid crystal display 51 that it is not reflected in the dimension code.

  The number of provisional coins means a game in which no password is input after the number of acquired coins stored in the acquired coin storage area is reflected in the two-dimensional code until the game is started after the password is input, And the number of coins accumulated in a game in which the player cannot acquire the number of coins to be acquired, such as a game in which a password has been input but has not reached the predetermined number of games (100 games in the present embodiment), and the RAM 91c Are stored in the temporary coin storage area.

  Then, in step S1323, it is determined whether or not an input indicating that the content displayed in step S1322 is accepted from the player by a button operation. If it is determined that an input indicating that it is not accepted has been accepted (NO in step S1323), the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be performed to the process in step S1325.

  Thereby, the two-dimensional code is not created and displayed, and the game can be continued. As a result, after the player has played 100 games or more, the player can obtain the number of provisional coins accumulated before inputting the password by reflecting them in the two-dimensional code. In addition, the game hall can improve the operation of the gaming machine.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that an input for consent is accepted (when YES is determined at step S1323), and when it is determined that a game has been played for 100 games or more (when YES is determined at step S1321), In step S1262, a game random number (or starting random number) stored in the RAM 91c is acquired, and in step S1263, as described with reference to FIG. 16, a game history including a fractional experience value, a level, the number of acquired coins, etc., a password A two-dimensional code is generated from a game random number (or starting random number) or the like. In this way, a fraction that is less than the predetermined value in the experience value when the level is updated is specified.

  In the generated two-dimensional code, the latest information and the model information included in the password are not updated according to the game, and thus are not included. Thereby, the data amount of a two-dimensional code can be suppressed.

  Next, in step S1267, the sub CPU 91a controls the display control circuit 92 to display the image of the two-dimensional code generated in step S1263 on the liquid crystal display 51. Thus, output information such as a two-dimensional code for specifying the experience value is output. Here, output information such as a two-dimensional code for specifying the level and the fraction of the experience value for specifying the experience value is output.

  In step S1268, the sub CPU 91a controls to shift to the normal performance mode, and in step S1269, the collected game history is cleared. Thereafter, the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to the process of step S1325.

  In step S1325, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not a long press operation of the effect switch 56 is performed during display of the demonstration screen. If it is determined that there has been a long press operation of the effect switch 56 (YES in step S1325), in step S1326, the sub CPU 91a provides the liquid crystal display 51 with an effect informing the number of stored temporary coins. Control to display.

  FIG. 35 is a display screen diagram showing a temporary coin notification screen displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 of the slot machine 1 in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 35, an effect screen is displayed on liquid crystal display 51 where the character is talking that several temporary coins have been accumulated. This allows the player to know how many temporary coins have been accumulated before entering the password, and if the player wishes to acquire a large number of temporary coins, the gaming machine has a large number of temporary coins accumulated. Can be selected.

  Proceeding to FIG. 30, the flow will be described. When the player finishes the game and selects “2D code creation” from the main menu screen, the starting random number stored in the starting random number storage area, and Total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, number of BBs, number of RBs, type of mission accomplished, level value stored in the level storage area, experience value stored in the experience value storage area, and production The game history including the production settings 1 to 3 stored in the setting storage area and the acquired data including the number of acquired coins (gold, silver, bronze) stored in the acquired coin storage area are acquired. And a URL indicating the location of the registration page, a two-dimensional code is generated, stored in a predetermined storage area in association with a password, and displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Personal history storage area, the level storage area, experience value storage region, acquiring a coin storage region, effect setting storage area is initialized, the transition from the specific effect mode to the normal effect mode.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the portable terminal 1100 and sends an end-time registration request including the starting random number, the game history, the acquired data, and the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 analyzed from the two-dimensional code. By performing the management server 1200, the terminal identification information, the first game history, and the acquired data can be registered in the player database and the game history database of the management server 1200.

  FIG. 34 is a display screen diagram showing a screen displayed on display unit 140 of portable terminal 1100 in the present embodiment. FIG. 34A is a display screen diagram when the mobile terminal 1100 is reading a two-dimensional code. Referring to FIG. 34 (A), a two-dimensional code is displayed in a state where a photographed two-dimensional code is displayed in a predetermined size within a frame in the display screen while being focused by autofocus. Are captured by the portable terminal 1100, and the two-dimensional code is analyzed.

  FIG. 34B is a display screen diagram illustrating a screen in a state where a URL as a two-dimensional code analysis result is displayed on the mobile terminal 1100. Referring to FIG. 34B, a URL including game history and acquired data information as a result of the analysis of the two-dimensional code is displayed on display unit 140. When this URL is selected, the game history and acquired data included in the URL are transmitted to the management server 1200, which is the address indicated by the URL. This is a registration request when access to the management server 1200 is completed.

  Returning to FIG. 19, in step S <b> 221, the control unit 210 of the management server 1200 determines whether an end-time registration request is received from the mobile terminal 1100. If it is determined that it has not been received (NO in step S221), control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S228.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the end registration request has been received (YES in step S221), in step S222, the control unit 210 determines that the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 that is the transmission source of the end registration request is It is determined whether or not it is temporarily registered in the player database.

  When it is determined that the terminal identification information is provisionally registered in the player database (when YES is determined in step S222), in step S223, the control unit 210 stores the starting random number stored in the storage unit 220, and Then, it is determined whether or not the start random numbers included in the end registration request match.

  When it is determined that the terminal identification information is not provisionally registered in the player database (when NO is determined at step S222), and when it is determined that the starting random numbers do not match (when NO is determined at step S223). In step S224, control unit 210 transmits information indicating that registration is impossible to portable terminal 1100 indicated by the terminal identification information. Thereafter, the control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S228.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the starting random numbers match (when YES is determined in step S223), in step S225, the control unit 210 displays terminal identification information, game history, acquired data, and the like included in the end registration request. Correspondingly, the main registration is performed in the player database and the game history database of the storage unit 220 described with reference to FIGS. 18A and 18B, respectively, and the information temporarily registered in step S214 is deleted.

  Next, in step S225A, control unit 210 executes level experience value management processing. FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the flow of level experience value management processing executed by the management server in the present embodiment.

  Referring to FIG. 20, in step S271, control unit 210 updates the level of the player database described in FIG. 18A to a level included in the received game history. Thus, the level is updated in the same manner as the level is updated each time the experience value reaches a predetermined value. Next, in step S272, the control unit 210 adds and updates the experience value of the fraction included in the received game history to the experience value of the player database. In this way, a fraction that is less than a predetermined value in the experience value is specified based on the two-dimensional code, and the fraction is accumulated. At this time, the same value as the fraction or a specific value may be added and integrated.

  In step S273, the control unit 210 determines that the fractional experience value accumulated in the player database is equal to or greater than a predetermined value corresponding to the level (in the present embodiment, a constant 10 experience value regardless of the level). Judge whether there is.

  When it is determined that the fractional experience value is equal to or greater than the predetermined value (when YES is determined in step S273), in step S274, the control unit 210 subtracts the predetermined value for level up from the fractional experience value. (For example, to increase the level by 2, subtract 10 experience value × 2 level = 20 experience value).

  In step S275, the control unit 210 adds and updates the level of the player database by the amount increased. Thus, the level is updated when the accumulated fraction reaches a predetermined value.

  After step S275, and when it is determined that the fractional experience value is less than the predetermined value (when NO is determined in step S273), in step S276, the control unit 210 includes the total game included in the received game history. It is determined whether or not the number is 100 games or more.

  When it is determined that there are 100 games or more (when YES is determined in step S276), in step S277, the control unit 210 determines the number of acquired coins (gold, silver, bronze) included in the received game history, respectively. It is added and updated to the number of acquired coins (gold, silver, bronze) in the player database.

  After step S277 and when it is determined that the total number of games is less than 100 games (when NO is determined in step S276), the control unit 210 executes a lottery for giving points in step S281. In step S282, it is determined whether it is a hit or a miss. If it is determined that it is out of place (when NO is determined in step S282), the control unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that it is a win (when YES is determined in step S282), in step S283, the control unit 210 determines whether or not the most recent score in the game application described later with reference to FIG. to decide.

  When it is determined that it is not 1000 points or more (when NO is determined in step S283), in step S284, the control unit 210 determines the points corresponding to the total number of games included in the received game history as the number of points in the player database. Add to and update. For example, 1/10 points of the total number of games are added and updated. If the total number of games is 1000, 1000 × 1/10 = 100 points are added and updated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the number is 1000 points or more (when YES is determined in step S283), in step S285, the control unit 210 calculates twice the number of points according to the total number of games included in the received game history, It is added and updated to the number of points in the player database. For example, twice the 1/10 point of the total number of games is added and updated. If the total number of games is 1000, 1000 × 1/10 × 2 = 200 points are added and updated.

  After step S284 and step S285, control unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  Returning to FIG. 19, in step S <b> 226, control unit 210 transmits to mobile terminal 1100 indicated by the terminal identification information that main registration has been completed. Next, in step S227, the control unit 210 executes history display processing. Thereafter, the control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S228.

  The history display process is a process for displaying the accumulated and updated game history on the mobile terminal 1100. Thereby, for example, the current number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the number of games accumulated so far, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the like are displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile terminal 1100. In the history display process, a digest of the current game may be displayed.

  Referring to FIG. 34 again, FIG. 34C is a display screen image displayed on the display unit 140 of the portable terminal 1100 by the history display process. Referring to FIG. 34C, the information as described above is displayed on display unit 140 together with the name of the player.

  Returning to FIG. 19, in step S <b> 228, control unit 210 determines whether or not provisional registration after one day is in storage unit 220. If it is determined that there is (YES in step S228), in step S229, the control unit 210 deletes the temporary registration. Thereafter, and when it is determined that there is no provisional registration after one day has elapsed (when NO is determined in step S228), control unit 210 advances the process to be performed to the process of step S231.

  Referring to FIG. 30, the flow will be described. When a termination registration request is made from the portable terminal 1100, the management server 1200 registers the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 that made the termination registration request in the temporary registration database. It is determined whether or not the terminal identification information matches, and if there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal 1100 is notified that the registration is impossible.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 that has made the registration request at the end matches the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database, it is registered in the temporary registration database corresponding to the matching terminal identification information. It is determined whether or not the start random number matches the start random number specified from the end registration request. If both start random numbers do not match, the mobile terminal 1100 indicates that registration is impossible. To notify.

  If both start random numbers match, the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 that made the end registration request is newly registered in the player database, and registered at the end in association with the terminal identification information. The game history and acquisition data specified from the request are registered in the player database, and the game history specified from the end-time registration request in association with the terminal identification information and the game date and time (current date and time data) is stored in the game history database. In addition, the mobile terminal 1100 that made the registration request at the end is notified of the completion of the main registration.

  In addition, when both the starting random numbers match, the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 that made the end registration request is newly registered in the player database, and at the same time, the terminal identification information in the temporary registration database and the correspondence The starting random number and registration date and time are deleted.

  In addition, the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database, the corresponding starting random number, and the registration date and time will be maintained until the day after the registration date if the registration is not performed in response to the registration request at the end. Even if the main registration is not performed due to the registration request at the end, it is deleted.

  Referring again to FIG. 34, FIG. 34 (D) is a display screen diagram showing the menu screen of the player when the mobile terminal 1100 accesses the game history site of the management server 1200.

  The menu screen displays a menu of items that can be performed by the player on the site. Specifically, to issue passwords, display history, display missions completed, display the number of coins earned, custom settings, game execution, avatar settings, shop items and content purchases, bulletin board browsing and posting Link is displayed.

  FIG. 34E is a display screen diagram of a screen for selecting a history date displayed on the display unit 140 of the portable terminal 1100 when a history display link is selected. Referring to FIG. 34E, when a history display link is selected on the menu screen of FIG. 34D, a date selection screen of FIG. On the date selection screen, a link of date choices of the game history registered for the player is displayed. When any one of the links is selected, a history display screen as shown in FIG.

  Next, operations of the management server 1200, the slot machine 1, and the portable terminal 1100 when issuing a password and playing a game in the slot machine 1 will be described based on FIG. 21, FIG. 22, and FIG. . FIG. 21 is a second flowchart showing the flow of history management processing executed by the management server 1200 in this embodiment. FIG. 31 is a diagram showing exchanges between the slot machine 1, the portable terminal 1100, and the management server 1200 when playing a game by inputting a password.

  When the password issue link is selected on the menu screen of the portable terminal 1100 in FIG. 34D described above, a password issue request is transmitted to the management server 1200.

  Returning to FIG. 21, in step S <b> 231, control unit 210 determines whether or not a password issue request has been received from portable terminal 1100. If it is determined that it has not been received (NO in step S231), control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S241.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the issue request has been received (YES in step S231), in step S232, the control unit 210 stores the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 that has transmitted the issue request in the player database. Determine if it is registered.

  When it is determined that the terminal identification information is not registered in the player database (when NO is determined in step S232), in step S233, the control unit 210 indicates that the password cannot be issued by the terminal identification information. To the portable terminal 1100. Thereafter, the control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S241.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the terminal identification information is registered in the player database (when YES is determined in step S232), in step S234, the control unit 210 associates with the terminal identification information in the storage unit 220. Based on the stored level, model information, latest information, anniversary, and other production settings, etc., a password is generated according to the procedure reverse to the procedure described in FIG. The generated password is transmitted to the portable terminal 1100 indicated by the terminal identification information. In this way, input information such as a password for specifying special information such as a level updated in accordance with the game history is issued.

  In step S235, the control unit 210 updates and registers the generated password in the storage unit 220 in association with the terminal identification information as the previously issued password, and updates the status of the terminal identification information during the game. Thereafter, the control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S241.

  Referring again to FIG. 34, FIG. 34 (F) is a display screen diagram of a password display screen displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile terminal 1100 when the password issue link is selected. Referring to FIG. 34 (F), in response to the password issuance link being selected on the menu screen of FIG. 34 (D) and the password issuance request being transmitted from the portable terminal 1100 to the management server 1200, the management server When a password is issued at 1200 and transmitted to the mobile terminal 1100, a password display screen in FIG. 34 (F) is displayed on the display unit 140.

  Proceeding to FIG. 22, in step S1229, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not “password input” is selected in the main menu before password input shown in FIG. If it is determined that it has not been selected (NO in step S1229), the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to the process of step S1231.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that “password input” has been selected (YES in step S1229), in step S1230, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not FIG. 12 (b), FIG. 12 (c), FIG. 13 (a), Then, the display control circuit 92 is controlled to display the password input screen described in FIG. 13B on the liquid crystal display 51. Thereafter, the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to the process of step S1231.

  The player inputs the password on the password input screen of the slot machine 1 while viewing the password displayed on the password display screen of FIG.

  In step S1231, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not an input of a password has been accepted by performing an operation for determining the password on the password input screen. If it is determined that it has not been accepted (NO in step S1231), the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to the process of step S1261.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the input of the password is accepted (YES in step S1231), the sub CPU 91a analyzes the password in step S1234 according to the method described in FIG.

  In step S1241, the sub CPU 91a determines whether the model indicated by the model information included in the password is a model different from the model. If it is determined that the model is different (YES in step S1241), in step S1242, the sub CPU 91a controls the liquid crystal display 51 to produce an effect indicating that the model is different. Thereafter, the process to be executed proceeds to step S1261 in FIG.

  FIG. 36 is a display screen diagram showing a screen for notifying that a password of a different model displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 of the slot machine 1 has been input in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 36, an effect screen in which the character speaks that a password of a different model has been input is displayed on liquid crystal display 51.

  If a password of a different model is entered, the game may be controlled to start without accepting the entered password, or the game may be controlled to accept the entered password and start the game. May be. For example, when the game history password of the MAX type (big hit probability 1/399) of the model of pachinko A is input to the sweet digital type (hit probability 1/99), the message “This is a different model” is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. However, it may be controlled to accept the input password and start the game.

  Returning to FIG. 22, on the other hand, if it is determined that the model is not a different model (when NO is determined in step S1241), in step S1235, the level analyzed from the password, the effect setting, etc. are set.

  Next, in step S1235A, the sub CPU 91a resets the experience value in the experience value storage area allocated to the RAM 91c of the sub control unit 91. Next, in step S1310, the sub CPU 91a executes provisional coin number addition processing.

  FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing the flow of provisional coin number addition processing executed in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 24, in step S1312, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not the number of temporary coins stored in the temporary coin storage area is two or more including gold, silver, and copper.

  When it is determined that the number of temporary coins is less than 2 (when NO is determined in step S1312), in step S1313, the sub CPU 91a increases the number of temporary coins to two.

  After step S1313, and when it is determined that the number of temporary coins is two or more (when YES is determined in step S1312), in step S1314, the sub CPU 91a acquires the number of temporary coins based on the random number. Run the lottery.

  In step S1315, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not the lottery result is a win. When it is determined that it is a win (when YES is determined in step S1315), in step S1316, the sub CPU 91a sets 100% of the provisional coin number as the acquired coin number of the player stored in the acquired coin storage area. Add and store.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that it is not a win, that is, it is a loss (if NO is determined in step S1315), in step S1317, the sub CPU 91a stores 50% of the number of provisional coins in the acquired coin storage area. Add and store the number of coins earned by the player. Subsequent to step S1316 and step S1317, the sub CPU 91a returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  Returning to FIG. 22, next, in step S <b> 1237, control is performed to shift to the specific effect mode.

  Next, in step S1245, the sub CPU 91a indicates that the flag indicating whether or not one month or more has elapsed since the previous game, which is indicated by the third bit of the latest information included in the password, has passed one month or more. It is determined whether or not it is “1” indicating that it is present.

  If it is determined that it is not indicated that one month or more has elapsed (NO in step S1245), in step S1246, the sub CPU 91a is indicated by the first bit of the latest information included in the password. The previous game according to the flag indicating whether or not the previous game number is 700 games or less, or the flag indicating whether or not the previous BB count is 10 times or more indicated by the second bit. Perform the suggestion. For example, the liquid crystal display 51 is controlled so as to execute an effect by a display such as “previous number of bonuses was 10 or more before. Great.” To do.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that one month or more has elapsed (when YES is determined in step S1245), in step S1247, the sub CPU 91a determines that a specific period from the previous game (in this embodiment, 1 An effect indicating that (month) has passed is executed. For example, since a game has not been played recently, an effect screen in which the character is speaking is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 to prompt the player to play a large number of times.

  Subsequent to step S1246 and step S1247, in step S1238, the sub CPU 91a starts collecting game histories. Thereafter, the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to the process of step S1261 in FIG.

  Referring to FIG. 31, the flow will be described. When a new password issuance request is made from the mobile terminal 1100, the management server 1200 registers the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 that has issued the issuance request in the player database. It is determined whether or not the terminal identification information matches, and if there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal 1100 is notified that the issuance is impossible.

  On the other hand, when the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has issued the request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the level corresponding to the terminal identification information and the effect setting are acquired from the player database. And issue a password.

  The password is generated by a procedure reverse to the procedure shown in FIG. First, the level of the corresponding terminal identification information and the effect setting are acquired, and a 30-bit value is created based on the acquired data. At this time, when it is the player's birthday or when it is an anniversary such as one month from registration, anniversary data is also set to create a 30-bit value. Also, a 30-bit value including the latest information and model information is created. Next, a 6-bit random value is acquired, and the acquired value is used as a hash value between the lower 3 bits and 4 bits, between the lower 6 bits and the lower 7 bits, between the lower 13 bits and the lower 14 bits, and lower One bit is inserted between 19 bits and the lower 20 bits, between the lower 23 bits and the lower 24 bits, and between the lower 27 bits and the lower 28 bits, thereby creating a 36-bit value. Next, a 4-bit random value (0 to 15) is acquired, and the acquired value (maximum 15) is shifted to the left by the number of bits. At this time, the value overflowed in the left direction is shifted to the lower bits.

  Next, the value used for the bit shift, that is, the 4-bit random value is divided into the upper 2 bits and the lower 2 bits, and added to the upper 2 bits and the lower 2 bits of 36 bits as the random values described above, respectively, Value. Next, the created 40-bit value is divided every 5 bits, replaced with decimal numbers, and the replaced value is replaced with characters based on the password analysis table shown in FIG. To do.

  Next, it is determined whether or not it matches the password registered in the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database, that is, the previously issued password, and if it matches, it matches the previous password in the procedure described above. The password is generated again until it is determined not to do so.

  If the portion of the game history that affects password generation is not changed from the previous game history, the same password is read and issued.

  The management server 1200 issues a password as described above, transmits the password to the mobile terminal 1100 that issued the request, and sets the password corresponding to the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 that issued the issue request in the player database. Update to the issued password, and update the status of the corresponding terminal identification information during the game. When a password issuance request is accepted, password issuance is not prohibited even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game, and a new password issuance request is accepted in such a situation. Even if a password is issued, a new password is issued and the previous password becomes invalid.

  When the password is issued in response to the password issuance request, the issued password is displayed on the portable terminal 1100, and the player inputs the displayed password into the slot machine 1. Then, in the slot machine 1 in which the password is input, the input password is analyzed as described above, and when the password is authenticated, the level and presentation settings specified from the password are set on the slot machine 1 side. It is possible to play a game by taking over the level and effect settings managed by the management server 1200. At this time, the password is stored in the password storage area, and the normal effect mode is shifted to the specific effect mode. Thereafter, the game is started by the player.

  In addition, it is possible to set anniversary data for the password as described above. If a specific anniversary is set as the anniversary data, the password is specific to the anniversary in the specific performance mode. Can be performed.

  In addition, as described above, the model information and the latest information are set in the password, and it is possible to execute an effect corresponding to the model information and the latest information on the gaming machine.

  Returning to FIG. 25, when the selection of “Create two-dimensional code” is accepted on the main menu screen after the start of game history collection shown in FIG. 14A at the end of the game, the above-described steps S1261 to S1269 are performed. The process up to is executed.

  Proceeding to FIG. 31, the flow will be described. When the player finishes the game and selects “2D code creation” from the main menu screen, the password stored in the password storage area and within a certain range From the updated random number to the game random number, the total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, the type of mission accomplished, the level value stored in the level storage area, the experience value storage area Acquisition consisting of experience value stored, game history consisting of effect settings 1 to 3 stored in the effect setting storage area, and number of acquired coins (gold, silver, bronze) stored in the acquired coin storage area Data is acquired, a two-dimensional code is generated from these data and the URL indicating the location of the update page, and stored in a predetermined storage area in association with a password. , Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, personal history storage area is initialized, the transition from the specific effect mode to the normal effect mode.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the mobile terminal 1100 and sends an update request including a game history, acquired data, password, game random number and terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 analyzed from the two-dimensional code to the management server By performing for 1200, the game history and acquired data acquired by the two-dimensional code can be reflected in the player database of the management server 1200.

  Returning to FIG. 21, in step S <b> 241, the control unit 210 of the management server 1200 determines whether an update request has been received from the mobile terminal 1100. If it is determined that no data has been received (NO in step S241), control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S251.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the update request has been received (YES in step S241), in step S242, the control unit 210 stores the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 that is the source of the update request in the player database. Determine if it is registered.

  When it is determined that the terminal identification information is not registered in the player database (when NO is determined in step S242), in step S249, the control unit 210 indicates that the game history cannot be updated using the terminal identification information. To the mobile terminal 1100 shown. Thereafter, the control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S251.

  When it is determined that the terminal identification information is registered in the player database (when YES is determined in step S242), in step S243, the control unit 210 is stored in the storage unit 220 in association with the terminal identification information. It is determined whether the existing password and the password included in the update request match. In step S244, control unit 210 determines whether the password is different by only one character before and after.

  When it is determined that the passwords do not match and that only one character is not the same before and after one character (when NO is determined in step S243 and step S244), the control unit 210 performs the process to be executed in step S249 described above. Proceed to

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the passwords match or that only one character is different by one character before and after (when YES is determined in step S243 or step S244), in step S245, the control unit 210 is identified from the update request. It is determined whether or not the same password and game random number are stored in the game history database for the terminal identification information specified from the update request. If it is determined that it is stored (YES in step S245), control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process in step S249 described above.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the same password and game random number are not stored (when NO is determined in step S245), in step S246, the control unit 210 will be described with reference to FIGS. 18A and 18B, respectively. The game history and acquired data stored in association with the terminal identification information in the player database and the game history database are updated and registered, and the status of the terminal identification information is updated during standby.

  Next, in step S246A, control unit 210 executes the level experience value management process shown in FIG.

  In step S247, control unit 210 transmits to mobile terminal 1100 indicated by the terminal identification information that the game history has been updated. Next, in step S248, the control unit 210 executes history display processing. The history display process has been described in step S227. Thereafter, the control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S251.

  Referring to FIG. 31, the flow will be described. When an update request is made from the mobile terminal 1100, the management server 1200 is a terminal in which the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 that made the update request is registered in the player database. It is determined whether or not it matches the identification information. If there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal 1100 is notified that the update is impossible.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 that has made the update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the terminal identified from the update request is the password identified from the update request. The password is checked against the password registered in the player database in association with the identification information. If the password specified from the update request matches the password registered in the player database, the player is authenticated as the player who issued the password, and the password specified from the update request and The game random number is compared with the password and the game random number registered in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request in the game history database, and it is determined whether or not they match. The corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated based on the game history and acquired data specified from the update request, and is updated in association with the terminal identification information and the game date and time (current date and time data). The game history and game random number specified from the request are registered in the game history database, and the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is stored. To update the scan while waiting, to notify the update completion to the mobile terminal 1100, which made the update request. On the other hand, if the password and game random number specified from the update request match the password and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request, Since there is a very high possibility that the update request is the same two-dimensional code used for the update request, the mobile terminal 1100 is notified that the update is impossible.

  Further, as a result of checking the password specified from the update request with the password registered in the player database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request, when both passwords do not match, It is determined whether only one of the characters is a difference of one character before and after the password when the password is input. The character difference before and after the arrangement in the password input is one character before and after the password input screen shown in FIG. 12B. For example, if the regular password is “Z”, the character before and after the character is “ “Y” and “=” correspond.

  And if only one of the characters is a difference other than the difference of one character before and after, that is, if two or more characters are different or the difference is one character, but not one character before and after, update The mobile terminal 1100 is notified that it is impossible. On the other hand, if only one of the characters is different by one character before and after, the player who has issued the password is temporarily authenticated as satisfying the input error condition, and the password specified from the update request and The game random number is compared with the password and the game random number registered in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request in the game history database, and it is determined whether or not they match. Based on the game history specified from the update request, the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated and specified from the update request in association with the terminal identification information and the game date and time (current date and time data). Game history and game random numbers are registered in the game history database, the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is updated during standby, and an update request is made. It was notifying the update completion to the mobile terminal 1100.

  At this time, instead of updating all the corresponding items of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database based on the game history specified from the update request, the total number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, the player Only items that do not affect the continuity of the game history, such as the types of achievement missions that can appear at the level value of the corresponding terminal identification information registered in the database, are updated. Items that affect the continuity of the game history, such as types of achievement missions that do not appear by value, and acquisition data such as the number of acquired coins are not updated. In addition, in the notification of update completion, it is also notified that the passwords did not match completely but were in the range of input errors, so that only some items that did not affect continuity were updated. It is supposed to be.

  Also, if the password and game random number specified from the update request match the password and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request, the previous Since there is a very high possibility that the update request is the same two-dimensional code used for the update request, the mobile terminal 1100 is notified that the update is impossible.

  In addition, if you forget to obtain a two-dimensional code at the end of the game, even if the status remains in game, issuance of a new password is permitted without making an update request as described above. It is like that.

  Next, the operations of the management server 1200, the slot machine 1, and the portable terminal 1100 when playing a game in the slot machine 1 without issuing a password will be described with reference to FIG. 21, FIG. 25, and FIG. explain. FIG. 32 is a diagram showing exchanges between the slot machine 1, the portable terminal 1100, and the management server 1200 when playing a game without entering a password.

  Referring to FIG. 32, the flow will be described. When a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56 in the slot machine 1, the game history is initialized and the normal effect mode is shifted to the specific effect mode. Even in the specific effect mode, when a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56, the game history is initialized.

  Returning to FIG. 25, when the selection of “Create two-dimensional code” is accepted on the main menu screen after the start of game history collection shown in FIG. 14A at the end of the game, the above-described steps S1261 to S1269 are performed. The process up to is executed.

  Referring to FIG. 32, the flow will be described. When the player finishes the game and selects “2D code creation” from the main menu screen, the total number of games and the number of BBs stored in the personal history storage area. A game random number is acquired from a game history consisting of the number of RBs, the type of mission accomplished, and a random number updated within a certain range, and a two-dimensional code is generated from these data and a URL indicating the location of the update page Then, the password is stored in a predetermined storage area in association with the password, displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and the personal history storage area is initialized, and the specific effect mode is shifted to the normal effect mode.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the portable terminal 1100 and makes a simple update request including the game history analyzed from the two-dimensional code and the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 to the management server 1200. If the player is already registered in the player database of the management server 1200, the game history from that point to the end of the game can be reflected in the player database simply by pressing and holding the effect switch 56. It is like that.

  Returning to FIG. 21, in step S <b> 251, the control unit 210 of the management server 1200 determines whether a simple update request has been received from the mobile terminal 1100. If it is determined that the data has not been received (NO in step S251), control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to step S261.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that a simple update request has been received (YES in step S251), in step S252, control unit 210 determines that the terminal identification information of portable terminal 1100 that is the source of the simple update request is the player. Determine whether it is registered in the database.

  When it is determined that the terminal identification information is not registered in the player database (when NO is determined in step S252), in step S259, the control unit 210 indicates that the game history cannot be updated using the terminal identification information. To the mobile terminal 1100 shown. Thereafter, the control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S261.

  When it is determined that the terminal identification information is registered in the player database (when YES is determined in step S252), in step S253, the control unit 210 has the same password and game random number specified from the update request. Then, it is determined whether or not the terminal identification information specified from the update request is stored in the game history database. If it is determined that it is stored (YES in step S253), control unit 210 advances the process to be performed to the process in step S259 described above.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the same password and game random number are not stored (when NO is determined in step S253), in step S254, the control unit 210 is described with reference to FIGS. 18 (a) and 18 (b). The game history stored in association with the terminal identification information in the player database and the game history database is updated and registered, and the status of the terminal identification information is updated during standby.

  Next, in step S254A, the control unit 210 executes the level experience value management process shown in FIG.

  In step S255, the control unit 210 transmits a message indicating that the game history has been updated to the mobile terminal 1100 indicated by the terminal identification information. Next, in step 256, it is determined whether or not a simple update request has been transmitted for the terminal identification information five times or more in total.

  When it is determined that the message has been transmitted five times or more (when YES is determined in step S256), in step S257, the control unit 210 receives a password and recommends playing a game. Is transmitted to the portable terminal 1100 indicated by the terminal identification information. Thereafter, and when it is determined that the simple update request has not been transmitted five times or more (when NO is determined in step S256), control unit 210 advances the process to be performed to the process of step S258.

  In step S258, the control unit 210 executes history display processing. The history display process has been described in step S227. Thereafter, the control unit 210 advances the process to be executed to the process of step S261.

  32, the flow will be described. When a simple update request is made from the mobile terminal 1100, the management server 1200 registers the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 that made the simple update request in the player database. If there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal 1100 is notified that the update is not possible.

  On the other hand, when the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 that has made the simple update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the game history and game random number specified from the simple update request, and the game The game history and game random numbers registered in association with the terminal identification information specified from the simple update request in the history database are checked to determine whether or not they match. The corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated on the basis of the game history specified from the above, and is specified from the simple update request in association with the terminal identification information and the game date and time (current date and time data). Game history and game random numbers are registered in the game history database, the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is updated during standby, and a simple update request is made. It was notifying the update completion to the mobile terminal 1100.

  Note that the game history specified from the simple update request is only the total number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the types of missions achieved, and other items and acquired data are not updated in the simple update request.

  On the other hand, when the game history and game random number specified from the simple update request match the game history and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the simple update request. Is highly likely to be a simple update request using the same two-dimensional code used for the previous simple update request, and notifies the portable terminal 1100 that the update is impossible.

  In addition, for the terminal identification information that has already been registered, the number of times that a simple update request has been made, that is, the number of times that a game has been played without receiving a password, is counted. If it is five times or more, the portable terminal 1100 is notified of a password recommendation guide for recommending that a game is issued upon receipt of a password.

  In the recommended password guidance, by playing a game after receiving a password, it is possible to take over the level and production settings, etc., and by raising the level, a production that will not be performed unless a password is issued is executed. Therefore, the content prompting the user to receive a password is provided.

  Next, operations of the management server 1200 and the portable terminal 1100 when assigning items will be described with reference to FIG. 21 and FIG. FIG. 33 is a diagram showing exchanges between the mobile terminal 1100 and the management server 1200 when a privilege is obtained. Here, the item includes benefits such as image data such as wallpaper data and voice data such as a ringing melody in addition to avatar clothes and decorations.

  Returning to FIG. 21, in step S <b> 261, control unit 210 determines whether an item request indicating that the shop link is selected in FIG. 34D is received from portable terminal 1100. If it is determined that an item request has not been received (NO in step S261), control unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the item request has been received (YES in step S261), in step S262, the control unit 210 stores the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 that transmitted the item request in the player database. Determine if it is registered.

  When it is determined that the terminal identification information is not registered in the player database (when NO is determined in step S262), the control unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the terminal identification information is registered in the player database (when YES is determined in step S262), in step S263, the control unit 210 determines the terminal identification information according to the number of coins and the number of points. In step S264, a list of extracted items is created, and the created item list is transmitted to the mobile terminal 1100 indicated by the terminal identification information.

  In step S265, it is determined whether the item type is received from portable terminal 1100 that has transmitted the item list. If it is determined that it has not been received (NO in step S265), control unit 210 repeats the process in step S265.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the item type has been received (YES in step S265), in step S266, control unit 210 reads the item data indicated by the received item type and transmits the item type. And the management server 1200 manages that the item data has been assigned. Thereafter, the control unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process of the caller of this process.

  Proceeding to FIG. 33, the flow will be described. When an item is given by the portable terminal 1100, the shop link is first accessed from the portable terminal 1100 on the screen of FIG. 34D of the management server 1200. Thereby, an item request including the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 is transmitted to the management server 1200.

  When an item request is made from the portable terminal 1100, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 that has made the item request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database. If there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal 1100 is notified that the request is not possible.

  On the other hand, when the terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 that has made the privilege request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the player database is based on the terminal identification information specified from the item request. The game history of the player is acquired.

  Next, item data satisfying the grant conditions is extracted based on the condition type and condition value of the item database, and the number of coins (gold) and the number of points acquired from the player database, and an item list is created. Deliver to the mobile terminal 1100 that made the item request.

  Proceeding to FIG. 34, a screen showing the assignable items as shown in FIG. 34 (G) is displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile terminal 1100 that has made the item request. In this screen, the number of remaining gold coins, the remaining number of points, a link for selecting items that can be granted, the number of gold coins or points required for the grant, and the menu screen of FIG. 34 (D) A link is displayed to leave the store for transition.

  Here, the number of remaining gold coins is 12, the remaining number of points is 1234 points, a link for purchasing item A, and one gold coin for purchasing item A, or , That 100 points are required and that two gold coins are required to purchase item B along with a link to purchase item B.

  Returning to FIG. 33, a desired item is selected from the item list on the portable terminal 1100 that has acquired the item list by selecting a link for selecting an item that can be given on the screen of FIG. Then, data indicating the selected item type is transmitted to the management server 1200, and in response to this, the management server 1200 extracts item data corresponding to the item type from the storage location, and extracts the extracted item data. While delivering to the portable terminal 1100 which performed the item request | requirement, the fact that the item was provided is managed by the management server 1200, and the player who performed the item request | requirement will acquire item data based on this.

  FIG. 26 is a flowchart showing a level / coin related process executed in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 26, in step S1293, sub CPU 91a determines whether or not an achievement condition such as the achievement condition shown in FIG. 10 is satisfied. When it is determined that it is not established (when NO is determined in step S1293), the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to the process of step S1298.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the achievement condition is satisfied (YES in step S1293), in step S1294, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not the specific effect mode is set. If it is determined that it is not the specific effect mode (when NO is determined in step S1294), the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to the process of step S1298.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that it is the specific effect mode (when YES is determined in step S1294), that is, when it is a mode for accumulating the game history for the player, in step S1296, the sub CPU 91a responds to the achievement condition. The experience value is given to the player, or the mission according to the achievement condition is completed. Thereafter, the sub CPU 91a advances the process to be executed to the process of step S1298.

  In step S1298, the sub CPU 91a has a fractional experience value accumulated in the experience value storage area of the RAM 91c equal to or higher than a predetermined value corresponding to the level (in the present embodiment, constant 10 experience values regardless of the level). Judge whether there is.

  When it is determined that the fractional experience value is equal to or greater than the predetermined value (when YES is determined in step S1298), in step S1298A, the sub CPU 91a subtracts the predetermined value for level up from the fractional experience value ( For example, to increase the level by 2, subtract 10 experience value × 2 level = 20 experience value).

  Next, in step S1299, the sub CPU 91a adds a level corresponding to the subtracted experience value. Thus, the level is updated every time the experience value reaches a predetermined value.

  After step S1299 and when it is determined that the fractional experience value is less than the predetermined value (when NO is determined in step S1298), in step S1331, the sub CPU 91a determines that every 200 games after the game is started. Determine whether the number of games.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of games per 200 games (YES in step S1331), in step S1332, the sub CPU 91a executes a lottery for acquiring coins based on random numbers. In step S1333, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not the lottery result in step S1332 is a win.

  When it is determined that it is a win (when YES is determined in step S1333), in step S1334, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not the specific effect mode is set. When it is determined that it is the specific effect mode (when it is determined YES at step S1334), that is, when it is a mode for accumulating the game history for the player, at step S1335, the sub CPU 91a determines the type (gold, Add 1 to the number of coins of either silver or copper.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that it is not the specific effect mode, that is, it is the normal effect mode (when it is determined NO in step S1334), that is, when it is a mode in which no game history is accumulated for the player, in step S1336, sub The CPU 91a adds 1 to the number of temporary coins of the winning type (any one of gold, silver, and copper).

  When it is determined that it is not the number of games for every 200 games (when it is determined NO at step S1331), when it is not a win, that is, when it is determined that it is out of play (when it is determined NO at step S1333), after step S1335, After step S1336, the sub CPU 91a advances the process to step S1341.

  In step S1341, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not the number of games for every 300 games since the game was started.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of games per 300 games is determined (YES in step S1341), in step S1342, the sub CPU 91a executes a lottery for subtracting coins based on random numbers. In step S1343, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not the lottery result in step S1342 is “subtraction”.

  If it is determined that “subtraction” is selected (YES in step S 1343), in step S 1344, the sub CPU 91 a determines whether or not the specific effect mode is set. When it is determined that it is the specific effect mode (when YES is determined in step S1344), that is, when the game history is accumulated for the player, in step S1345, the sub CPU 91a determines the type of lottery result (gold). Subtract 1 from the number of coins.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the mode is not the specific performance mode, that is, the normal performance mode (when determined NO in step S1344), that is, when the game history is not accumulated for the player, sub-steps are performed in step S1346. The CPU 91a decrements the number of temporary coins of the lottery result type (any one of gold, silver, and copper) by one.

  When it is determined that it is not the number of games for every 300 games (when NO is determined at step S1341), when it is determined that the lottery result is not “subtraction” (when NO is determined at step S1343), after step S1345, and After step S1346, in step S1299B, the sub CPU 91a determines whether or not the specific effect mode is set.

  When it is determined that it is the specific effect mode (when YES is determined in step S1299B), that is, when the game history is not accumulated for the player, the sub CPU 91a is stored in the level storage area in step S1299A. The fractional experience value stored in the experience value storage area, the experience value necessary for level up, and the number of acquired coins (gold, silver, bronze) are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Control.

  After step S1299A and when it is determined that it is not the specific effect mode (when NO is determined in step S1299B), the sub CPU 91a returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  In this way, the experience value is reset at the start of the game at step S1235A in FIG. 22, the experience value is added when the achievement condition is satisfied at step S1293 and step S1296 in FIG. 26, and the experience value at the level up in step S1298A in FIG. Is subtracted, the experience value is updated in accordance with the content of the game during the game period from when a predetermined start operation is performed by the player until a predetermined end operation is performed.

  FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing the flow of game coin addition processing executed by the management server in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 27, in step S291, control unit 210 determines whether or not a score has been received from a game application executed on portable terminal 1100.

  FIG. 28 is a diagram showing an example of a game application screen in the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 28, in portable terminal 1100, a game application (for example, a slot machine game) downloaded from a server such as management server 1200 is executed. The points acquired by the user with this game application are transmitted to the management server 1200.

  Returning to FIG. 27, when it is determined that the score has been received (when YES is determined in step S291), in step S292, the control unit 210 stores the received score in the storage unit 220 as the most recent score. Let

  Next, in step S293, the control unit 210 cumulatively updates the number of coins (gold, silver, bronze) according to the received points to the number of coins in the player database. Thus, the number of coins is updated according to the result of the game distributed from the management server 1200 to the player's portable terminal 1100.

  Further, in step S294, the control unit 210 integrates and updates the number of points corresponding to the received points to the number of points in the player database. Thus, the number of points is updated according to the result of the game distributed from the management server 1200 to the player's portable terminal 1100.

  After step S294 and when it is determined that no score has been received (when NO is determined in step S291), control unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the caller process of this process.

  As described above, in the gaming system 1001 of this embodiment, the management server 1200 generates a random value every time a password issuance request is issued from the portable terminal 1100 and is issued. If the game history is specified, it will not be the same password, and it will be difficult to tamper with the guessed password, so it is possible to more reliably prevent the diversion and theft of passwords and 2D codes. it can.

  In addition, when the management server 1200 receives an update request from the mobile terminal 1100, the management server 1200 collates the password registered in the management server 1200 with the password included in the update request. The player who has performed is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, and the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated based on the game history specified from the update request.

  On the other hand, in the slot machine 1, even if there is an input mistake when entering the password, if the data analyzed from the password is normal, the password is authenticated and the mode is shifted to the specific performance mode. Since the password stored in the two-dimensional code is also a password due to an input error, when the two-dimensional code is read and an update request is made to the management server 1200, the password registered in the management server 1200 The passwords included in the update request will not match, and the game history may not be updated.

  For this reason, in the management server 1200 according to the present embodiment, even when the password registered in the management server 1200 and the password included in the update request do not match, only one of the characters is different by one character before and after. The player is temporarily authenticated as a player who has been issued a password, assuming that a specific condition presumed to be an input error is satisfied, and the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is based on the game history specified from the update request. The corresponding item is updated, and even if the player enters the password incorrectly, the game history is updated if the error is within the range that satisfies a specific condition that is presumed to be an input error. It is possible to prevent the game history of playing games during that time from being wasted.

  In addition, if the player who made the update request with the password registered in the management server 1200 matching the password included in the update request is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, the identification is made from the update request. While all the corresponding items of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database are updated based on the played game history, the password registered in the management server 1200 does not match the password included in the update request When one of the characters is a difference of one character before and after, and the player who made the update request is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, assuming that a specific condition that is assumed to be an input error is satisfied Among the corresponding items of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database, the total number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, Update only the items that do not affect the continuity of the game history, such as the types of missions that can appear in the level value of the corresponding terminal identification information recorded, and the level, production settings, and the level value of the corresponding terminal identification information Items that affect the continuity of the game history, such as the types of achievement missions that do not appear, are not updated. For example, the level value may be lower than the original level value, the production setting and the achievement mission As a result of playing a game with an incorrect password, such as a discrepancy in the type of game, it is possible to prevent a game history having trouble in continuity from being updated.

  In addition, the password registered in the management server 1200 and the password included in the update request do not match, and any one character is a difference of one character before and after, and a specific condition that is assumed to be an input error is satisfied. When the player who made the update request is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, the password does not completely match in the update completion notification to the mobile terminal 1100 that made the update request. However, since it was informed that it was in the range of input mistakes, and therefore, only some items that did not affect continuity were updated, the player missed the password entry, but the game history It is possible to recognize that the game has been updated successfully, and to identify the cause of any game history that has not been updated.

  In this embodiment, the specific condition that the password is assumed to be an input error is that only one character is different by one character before and after, but the password registered in the management server 1200 is updated. The password included in the request may be anything that is similar to each other and it is assumed that there is a high possibility of an input error, and it is applied as a specific condition only that both passwords differ by only one character. Alternatively, it may be applied as a specific condition by having a difference of one character before and after two characters. In addition, when different characters in both passwords are characters that are likely to be mistaken, such as “O” and “0”, even if a similar condition such as a difference between uppercase and lowercase letters is applied as a specific condition good.

  Further, as in the present embodiment, if any one or more of these are satisfied, the password included in the update request may be authenticated, and if any one is satisfied, it is included in the update request. It can be used to authenticate the password.

  In the present embodiment, the game history managed by the management server 1200 includes data that may interfere with continuity, such as level and performance settings. Since a two-dimensional code that can specify a game history including data that may cause an error is output, the password registered in the management server 1200 and the password included in the update request do not match, and an input error occurs. If the player who made the update request is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, assuming that the specific condition that is presumed to be satisfied, among the corresponding items in the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database , Total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs, types of missions that can appear at the level value of the corresponding terminal identification information registered in the player database, etc. Only items that do not affect the continuity of the game history are updated, but if the game history managed by the management server 1200 is all data that does not have a possibility of affecting the continuity, Without setting such a restriction, the password registered in the management server 1200 and the password included in the update request do not match, and the player who made the update request is assumed to satisfy a specific condition that is assumed to be an input error. Even when authenticated as a player who has issued the password, it is possible to update all corresponding items of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database.

  In the management server 1200 of the present embodiment, when a password issuance request is accepted, issuance of a password is not prohibited even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game, and in this situation Even when a new password issuance request is received, a new password is issued. If a password is issued, but no game is played or a two-dimensional code is played, If it is not acquired, even if the two-dimensional code is acquired but no update request is made, it is possible to receive a new password without performing access for releasing the password.

  Further, even if the game history specified from the two-dimensional code acquired by playing the game after the password is issued is reflected in the game history managed by the management server 1200, the level or effect reflected at the next password issuance. Settings etc. do not change, and the exact same password may be issued.

  As described above, when a password issuance request is received, even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in the game, the password is not prohibited from being issued. If the game is finished before the change and the two-dimensional code is acquired, it becomes possible to make an update request with the same two-dimensional code as many times as possible. There may be a problem that the game history such as the number of times and the number of RBs can be updated many times.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, when the management server 1200 issues a password, it is determined whether or not it matches the password registered in the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database, that is, the previously issued password. If they match, the same password is not continuously issued to the same player by generating the password again until it is determined that it does not match the previous password in the procedure described above. In addition, when the management server 1200 receives an update request, the password and game random number specified from the update request and the password registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request And game random numbers, that is, passwords and game random numbers specified from past update requests, Only when it adapted to update the corresponding entry of the corresponding terminal identification information of the player database based on the game history identified from the update request. As described above, although the same password is not issued continuously, if the password is not consecutive, it is possible that the same password is issued. However, even if the same password is issued, the combination of the game random number added to the two-dimensional code and the password can hardly be the same (the probability that the 32-bit game random number matches) 1/4294967296, and even if the game history is the same, the probability that the game random number matches the password is even lower). As described above, the password and game random number specified from the update request and the password and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request, that is, from the past update request. Since the game history is updated on condition that the specified password and game random number do not match, when the password issuance request is accepted, even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game Even if the password issuance is not prohibited, by making an update request with the same two-dimensional code as many times as possible, the number of games, the number of BBs, The game history such as the number of RBs cannot be updated many times.

  In the present embodiment, when the management server 1200 receives an update request, it is registered in association with the password and game random number specified from the update request and the terminal identification information specified from the update request in the game history database. The password and the game random number that are specified, that is, the password and the game random number that are specified from the past update request are collated, and only if they do not match, the corresponding in the player database is based on the game history specified from the update request The corresponding item of the terminal identification information is updated, and the number of games, the number of BBs, and the number of RBs are obtained by making an update request with the same two-dimensional code as many times as possible, even though the game is played only once. It is preferable from the point that it can be surely prevented that the game history can be updated many times, but the management server 1200 has received an update request. In addition, the password and game random number specified from the current update request are compared with the password and game random number specified from the previous update request, and based on the game history specified from the update request only if they do not match Even if the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated, the password issuance will be issued even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game when the password issuance request is accepted. Even if the configuration is not prohibited, the number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, etc., even though the game is played only once by making an update request with the same two-dimensional code as many times as possible. The game history can be prevented from being updated many times.

  In addition, when the management server 1200 issues a password as described above, the management server 1200 receives an update request if the same password is not continuously issued to the same player. The password specified from the current update request and the password specified from the previous update request are collated, and only if they do not match, the corresponding in the player database is based on the game history specified from the update request. The corresponding item of the terminal identification information may be updated. Even in such a configuration, when a password issuance request is accepted, the password is not changed even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game. Even in a configuration where issuance is not prohibited, a game is played only once by making an update request many times with the same two-dimensional code. Despite the stomach, the number of games and BB number of times, many times the game history, such as RB number of times can be prevented from being able to update.

  In addition, when the management server 1200 issues a password as described above, a password is generated using not only the game history but also a random number (random value and hash value), in particular, compared with the previous password. Even if it is not confirmed whether or not they are the same, the probability that the same password is issued continuously is very low. For this reason, even when the same password is not continuously issued, a password is generated using a random number (random value and hash value) and the management server 1200 receives an update request. The password specified from the current update request and the password specified from the previous update request are collated, and only if they do not match, the corresponding in the player database is based on the game history specified from the update request. By configuring the corresponding item of terminal identification information to be updated, when a password issuance request is accepted, password issuance is not prohibited even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game. Even if it is a structure, a game is played only once by making an update request many times with the same two-dimensional code. And BB number of times, many times the game history, such as RB number of times can be prevented from being able to update. Note that the password specified from the current update request is compared not only with the password specified from the previous update request, but also with all passwords issued in the past for the same player (portable terminal with terminal identification information). If the configuration is such that the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated based on the game history specified from the update request on condition that they do not match, the same two-dimensional code is updated many times. By making the request, it is possible to more reliably prevent the game history such as the number of games, the number of BBs, and the number of RBs from being updated many times even though the game is played only once.

  In addition, if a random game random number is added every time a two-dimensional code is issued as described above, the management server 1200 adds a random number in addition to the game history or issues the same password continuously. Even when the management server 1200 receives an update request, the game random number identified from the current update request is compared with the game random number identified from the previous update request, Only when they do not match, the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database may be updated based on the game history specified from the update request. Even when the request is accepted, even if the password issuance is not prohibited even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game, the same two-dimensional code By performing any number of times update request, the player can be prevented that despite the do not go only once, the number of games and BB number of times, many times the game history, such as RB number of times she can update. Note that the game random number specified from the current update request is not only the game random number specified from the previous update request, but also the game history when the same player (the mobile terminal of the terminal identification information) made the update request. If the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated based on the game history specified from the update request, on the condition that all the game random numbers are checked and do not match, the same two-dimensional By making an update request with the code as many times as possible, the game history such as the number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, etc. can be updated many times even though the game is played only once. Can be prevented.

  In the present embodiment, when the management server 1200 issues a password, a random number is acquired and a bit constituting a random number is set between bits in a plurality of bits created by setting a game history. Passwords are generated based on the data obtained by inserting the password as a hash value, and even if the game history is similar, it is difficult for the password to be similar, so the password can be analyzed or falsified It becomes difficult to do.

  In addition, the hash value may be any value as long as it is inserted at a predetermined location between bits, but in the present embodiment, between the bits in a plurality of bits of data constituting one item of the game history (for example, , Among the 8 bits constituting the level value) and the bits constituting one item of the game history and the bits constituting the other item of the game history (composing an anniversary with the bits constituting the level value) Since the hash value is inserted in both of the passwords, the password can be further varied.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the management server 1200 issues a password, a random number is acquired, and the multi-bit data created by setting the game history is shifted by the acquired random number (random value). In addition, since a random value is added to the data after the shift, and the bit constituting the game history item can change every time it is issued, the password is the same even if the game history is the same. Since it becomes difficult to become a thing, it becomes difficult to analyze and tamper with the password.

  In the present embodiment, when the management server 1200 issues a password, the multi-bit data created by setting the game history is converted into characters according to the password analysis table shown in FIG. However, the relation between the numerical value and the character in the password analysis table is not in the regular order as shown in FIG. 15A, for example, “A” “B” “C” “D” “E” ... Are not in the order of regular “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, etc., but “10”, “3”, “22”, “8”, “5”, etc. By using an irregular order, it becomes difficult to digitize passwords, and it becomes more difficult to analyze and falsify passwords.

  In the present embodiment, if the player is already registered in the player database of the management server 1200, the game is started simply by pressing and holding the effect switch 56 without receiving a password. It becomes possible. Then, a two-dimensional code capable of specifying the game history from when the game start operation is performed in response to the long press of the effect switch 56 until the end is displayed. By making a simple update request to the management server 1200 based on the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, on the management server 1200 side, first, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that transmitted the simple update request is managed. It is determined whether or not already registered in the player database of the server 1200. If already registered, the game history corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information is updated to the game history specified from the registration request. It will be. For this reason, even a player whose terminal identification information has already been registered in the player database can use the game history storage function without receiving a password, and then the game end operation By simply accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the above, it is possible to register and store the game history during that time in the management server 1200. For this reason, even a player who wants to start a game immediately can use the function to accumulate the game history without issuing or entering a password and receive a privilege based on the accumulated game history It becomes.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, since the use of the function for accumulating the game history can be started by simply pressing and holding the effect switch 56 once, the game history is accumulated even for the player who has started the game immediately. The function to do can be used easily.

  In the present embodiment, the management server 1200 counts the number of times that a simple update request is made for terminal identification information that has already been registered, that is, the number of times that a game is played without receiving a password. It is determined whether or not the number of times is equal to or greater than a certain number. If the number is equal to or greater than the certain number, a password recommendation guide for recommending playing a game upon receiving a password is notified to the portable terminal. In this password recommendation guidance, by receiving a password issuance and playing a game, the level, production setting, etc. can be taken over, and by raising the level, an effect that will not be performed unless a password is issued is executed There will be a guide to the points where the game will expand, so it is possible to reflect the game history in the production by using the password for the player who has played without receiving the password. Effective use of various functions.

  In the present embodiment, the password recommendation guidance is notified when the number of times that the simple update request is made exceeds a certain number, but it may be notified at another timing. In the present embodiment, as described above, there are provided effects that are executed on condition that the cumulative number of games, the cumulative number of bonuses, etc. are a certain number or more. Missions that are achieved by executing an effect that does not appear unless the cumulative bonus number is greater than or equal to a certain number, that is, missions that cannot be achieved unless the cumulative game number or cumulative bonus number is greater than or equal to a certain number are defined. For this reason, at the timing when the cumulative number of games and the cumulative number of bonuses, etc., in the game history of the player who made the simple update request become a certain number of times or more, that is, when the game history meets the appearance condition of the production. Password recommendation guidance may be provided, and even in such a configuration, the game history is reflected in the production by using the password for the player who is playing the game without receiving the password issuance It is possible to effectively encourage the use of functions that are possible. In addition, when password recommended guidance is performed at a timing when the game history satisfies the appearance condition of the effect, the game history satisfies the appearance condition of the effect, so that a new effect can be executed. It is preferable to notify that the mission can be achieved and that there is a possibility that a privilege will be newly granted. By doing so, it is possible to reflect the game history in the production by using the password. It is possible to promote the use of functions more effectively.

  Also, in this embodiment, by inputting “Easy Start” in the slot machine 1, a starting random number is obtained, and a two-dimensional code that can identify the starting random number is displayed, and a password is input. Without playing the game, it is possible to play a game in the same manner as when a password is input. Then, at the end of the game, a two-dimensional code that can specify the game history from the input of “easy start” to the end and the starting random number acquired when the “easy start” is input is displayed. Then, the player makes a start registration request to the management server 1200 based on the two-dimensional code displayed at the start of the game, and registers the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal and the start random number in the temporary registration database. By making a registration request at the end to the management server 1200 based on the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, the management server 1200 side starts the random number at the start specified from the registration request at the end, the management server 1200 On the condition that the starting random number registered in the temporary registration database matches the starting random number sent in the starting registration request, that is, The player's terminal identification information and game history are newly registered in the player database of the management server 1200, and the next time the password is issued, It is possible to take over the gravel. For this reason, a player who uses the game history storage function for the first time does not need to access the management server 1200 in advance and register as a member before playing a game. The two-dimensional code displayed by inputting “easy start” In this case, it is possible to start a game similar to the case where the password is input by accessing the management server 1200 once, and then access the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the end operation of the game. Thus, it is possible to register and store the game history during that time in the player database of the management server 1200.

  Further, the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database by the start registration request and the start random number coincide with the start random number included in the end registration request, and the game history specified from the start random number is registered. In this case, the starting random number generated for one player can be prevented from being misappropriated by other players, and the diversion by other players can be prevented. Since the management server 1200 only needs to determine whether terminal identification information and a starting random number matching the temporary registration database are registered, the load on the management server 1200 can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database, the corresponding start random number, and the registration date and time are up to the next day of the registration date even if the main registration is not performed due to the end registration request. However, after that, even if the main registration is not performed due to the registration request at the time of termination, the temporary registration information that is unlikely to match is erased as the predetermined period elapses Therefore, it is not necessary to press the storage capacity of the management server 1200.

  In this embodiment, a time limit is set for erasing the temporary registration information two days after the registration date, that is, in units of dates, but the temporary registration information is deleted when a certain time has passed since the registration. Even in such a configuration, the storage capacity of the management server 1200 does not have to be pressed as described above.

  In the present embodiment, only the mobile terminal to which the terminal identification information is given and the terminal identification information is permitted to be transmitted is permitted to be accessed by the management server 1200. The player is specified based on the terminal identification information given to the terminal, and it is possible to effectively prevent unauthorized use of other people's information.

  The first embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the first embodiment, and modifications and additions within a scope that does not depart from the gist of the present invention. Needless to say, it is included in the present invention.

  For example, in the first embodiment, a slot machine is applied as a gaming machine, but information input means that can specify the gaming history from the outside and information that can specify the gaming history on the gaming machine are output. Any gaming machine provided with output means may be used, and a pachinko gaming machine may be used.

  In the first embodiment, a password is applied as information that can specify a game history to be input to the gaming machine, and it is not necessary to provide a dedicated reading device or the like for inputting information from the outside. However, it may be data that can be encoded by a barcode reader, two-dimensional code, etc. and can be read by a code reader, data that can be input by wired connection, wireless connection, infrared connection, etc. With this configuration, it is possible to easily input these data.

  In the first embodiment, the two-dimensional code is applied as information that can specify the game history output from the gaming machine, and the player can easily acquire the data simply by holding the two-dimensional code reader. However, it may be output by other code data that can be read by a code reader such as a barcode, or may be data that can be output by wired connection, wireless connection, infrared connection, etc. Furthermore, a password may be applied in the same manner as information input to the gaming machine.

  In the gaming system 1001 of the first embodiment, a privilege is given according to the player's game history stored in the player database of the management server 1200, but at least in the gaming machine As long as the game history is specified from the password that has been specified and the production reflects the specified game history, it is not always necessary to provide a privilege according to the game history. Even if you acquire another person's two-dimensional code, the game history specified from the two-dimensional code cannot be reflected in your own game history. While it is possible to take over, it becomes impossible for a player other than the player who has issued the password to take over the game history. As a result, it is meaningless to divert or steal a password or a two-dimensional code. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the diversion or theft of a password and a two-dimensional code. As a result, it is possible to prevent the value of the performance reflecting the game history from being significantly reduced, such as illegally manipulating the game history using another person's password or the like and reflecting the game history in the performance. .

  In the first embodiment, when a game is performed by performing temporary registration at “Easy Start”, a starting random number extracted from random numbers that fluctuate within a certain range is applied as information that can identify the game. However, any data can be used as long as the management server 1200 can identify the game at the end of the game. For example, data that regularly changes such as a number to be added every time “easy start” is input is applied. May be.

  In the first embodiment, the management server 1200 permits access only to portable terminals to which terminal identification information is assigned and to which transmission of terminal identification information is permitted. The terminal identification information is given when the player can be identified by at least information (Cookie) that can identify the mobile terminal, or by the player ID assigned on the management server 1200 side. The access may be permitted from a terminal that has not been permitted to transmit terminal identification information.

  In the first embodiment, information related to the player (such as a game history) is managed in association with the terminal identification information. However, the information related to the player is associated with the player ID that can identify the player. A configuration for managing information may be used.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, a description will be given of a second embodiment of a slot machine, a management server, and a gaming system 1001 comprising these to which the present invention is applied. Since the present embodiment has a configuration common to the first embodiment described above, the configuration different from the first embodiment will be mainly described here.

  In the slot machine 1 according to the first embodiment described above, when a player whose terminal identification information is not registered in the player database uses a function for accumulating a game history for the first time, “Easy start” is input. On the other hand, a two-dimensional code is displayed, and it is possible to play a game in the same way as when a password is entered without entering a password, whereas a two-dimensional code is displayed at the end of the game. Thus, in the slot machine of the present embodiment, even if a player whose terminal identification information is not registered in the player database uses the function of accumulating the game history for the first time, only “easy start” is input. Thus, it is possible to start a game capable of storing a game history without inputting a password. At this time, the two-dimensional code is not displayed and it is not necessary to access the management server 1200.

  Specifically, in the slot machine of the present embodiment, when “easy start” is selected, the values of the personal history storage areas (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs, achievement mission) assigned to the RAM 91c are initialized. .

  In the personal history storage area, game histories (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs) since “easy start” is selected are accumulated. Furthermore, when a mission (issue) set in advance in the slot machine is achieved as in the case where a password is input, a history of achievement missions indicating the types of missions achieved is also accumulated. However, in the case of an easy start, unlike the case where a password is entered, no experience value is given, the level does not increase, and the production setting cannot be changed from the default setting.

  Then, when the player finishes the game, when performing the game end operation (select “2D code creation” on the main menu screen), the game random number is acquired from the random number updated within a certain range, The current date / time information is acquired, and a two-dimensional code for the end of the game is generated and displayed from the game history, game random number, and date / time information after “easy start” is input.

  Then, the player obtains the displayed two-dimensional code with a portable terminal and accesses the management server 1200, so that a player who has played a game for the first time has a game history specified from the two-dimensional code. In addition, the terminal identification information of the portable terminal possessed by the player can be registered in the player database, and when the player after the second time inputs “easy start” and plays a game, the two-dimensional code Can be reflected in the game history registered in the player database corresponding to the terminal identification information of the portable terminal possessed by the player.

  The two-dimensional code displayed when the game is ended after selecting “Easy Start” and starting the game indicates the location of the update page on the management server 1200, unlike when the game is started by entering a password. The URL, the game random number acquired at the end of the game, the total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the type of mission accomplished are stored.

  Then, the two-dimensional code is read by the portable terminal 1100, and the URL of the management server 1200 specified by the two-dimensional code is accessed, so that the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed portable terminal is already registered in the player database. When the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed mobile terminal is already registered, the game history corresponding to the matching terminal identification information is updated. .

  On the other hand, when the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed mobile terminal is not registered, data in which the combination of the game random number specified from the two-dimensional code and the date information (game date) matches in the game history database. It is determined whether or not it is registered, and on the condition that no matching data is registered, the terminal identification information of the accessed mobile terminal is newly registered and specified from the two-dimensional code in association with the terminal identification information The game history to be played is newly registered, and thereafter, it becomes possible to receive a password based on these data.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to play a game in the same manner as when a password is input without inputting a password simply by inputting “easy start”. At the end of the game, a two-dimensional code that can specify the game history from the input of “easy start” to the end, the game random number acquired at the end, and date / time information is displayed. Then, by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, on the management server 1200 side, the game random number and date / time information (game date / time) specified from the two-dimensional code transmitted at the end of the game , And the game history specified by the two-dimensional code, that is, the player, on the condition that the combination of the game random number and the date / time information (game date / time) registered in the management server 1200 do not match It is possible to register a new game history. Therefore, a player who uses the game history storage function for the first time does not need to access the management server 1200 in advance to register as a member before playing a game. It becomes possible to use the storage function, and thereafter, it is possible to register and store the game history in the management server 1200 only by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the game end operation. Become.

  In the present embodiment, even a player who plays a game for the second time or later can start a game by simply inputting “Easy Start” without receiving a password. In this case as well as the first player, at the end of the game, it is possible to specify the game history from the input of "Easy Start" to the end, the game random number obtained at the end, and date information (game date and time) A two-dimensional code is displayed. Then, by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, the management server 1200 first has the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that transmitted the game history as the player of the management server 1200. It is determined whether or not it is already registered in the database, and if it is already registered, the game history corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information is updated to the game history specified from the two-dimensional code. For this reason, even if the player is used for the second time or later, that is, a player whose terminal identification information is already registered in the player database, the game history storage function is used without receiving a password. After that, only by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the game end operation, the game history during that time can be registered and accumulated in the management server 1200.

  In the first embodiment described above, the management server 1200 includes a temporary registration database, whereas the management server 1200 according to the present embodiment does not include a temporary registration database.

  Next, operations of the management server 1200 and the slot machine 1 when the player inputs “easy start” and plays a game in the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 37, when “simple start” is selected in the slot machine 1, the game history is initialized and the normal effect mode is shifted to the specific effect mode.

  When the player ends the game and selects “Create 2-D Code” from the main menu screen, the game random number and the current date and time are obtained from the random numbers updated within a certain range, and the acquired game random number and the current date and time are displayed. The date and time information shown, the total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the type of mission accomplished are acquired from these data and the URL indicating the location of the update page. A dimension code is generated, displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 and stored, and the personal history storage area is initialized, and the specific effect mode is shifted to the normal effect mode.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the portable terminal 1100 and sends a registration request including the game random number, date / time information, game history, and terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 analyzed from the two-dimensional code to the management server 1200. As a result, the player who has played the game for the first time can register the terminal identification information and the game history in the player database of the management server 1200, and the second and subsequent significant persons can perform “simple start”. When a game is input and played, the game history can be reflected in the player database.

  When a registration request is made from the portable terminal 1100, the management server 1200 determines whether or not a certain period (two days in the present embodiment) has elapsed from the date and time of generation of the two-dimensional code from the date and time information specified from the registration request. If a certain period has elapsed, the mobile terminal is notified that registration is impossible.

  If a certain period has not elapsed since the generation date and time of the two-dimensional code, it is determined whether or not the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that made the registration request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database. If the terminal identification information matches, the game history and game random number specified from the registration request and the game history and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the registration request And, in the case of not matching, update the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database based on the game history specified from the registration request, The date / time information (game date / time), the game history and the game random number specified from the registration request in association with the terminal identification information are registered in the game history database, and the corresponding terminal identifier is registered. It updates the status information while waiting, and notifies the registration completion to the portable terminal 1100 of performing a registration request.

  Note that the game history specified from the registration request is only the total number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, and the types of missions completed, and other items are not updated in the registration request.

  On the other hand, when the game history and game random number specified from the registration request match the game history and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the registration request, Since there is a very high possibility that the registration request is the same as the two-dimensional code used for the previous registration request, the mobile terminal is notified that the registration is impossible.

  In addition, for terminal identification information that has already been registered, the number of registration requests, that is, the number of times of playing a game without receiving a password is counted. If it is 5 times or more, a password recommendation guide for recommending that a game is issued upon receipt of a password is notified to the portable terminal.

  In the recommended password guidance, by playing a game after receiving a password, it is possible to take over the level and production settings, etc., and by raising the level, a production that will not be performed unless a password is issued is executed. Therefore, the content prompting the user to receive a password is provided.

  In addition, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the registration request does not match the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the game random number and date / time information (game) registered in the game history database It is determined whether or not the combination of the game random number and the date and time information (game date and time) specified from the registration request matches the combination of the game random number and the date and time information (game date and time). Is highly likely to be a registration request using the same two-dimensional code used for the previous registration request, and therefore notifies the mobile terminal that the registration is impossible.

  If the combination of the game random number and date / time information (game date / time) does not match, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the registration request is newly registered in the player database, and the terminal identification information Correspondingly, the game history specified from the registration request at the end is registered in the player database, and the completion of the main registration is notified to the portable terminal that has made the registration request at the end.

  In addition, when the combination of the random number at game time and the date / time information (game date / time) does not match, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the registration request is newly registered in the player database, and at the same time, the game history database In addition, the game random number specified from the registration request, date and time information (game date and time), and the game history specified from the registration request are registered in association with each other.

  As described above, in the gaming system 1001 of the present embodiment, it is possible to perform a game just by inputting “Easy Start” in the slot machine 1 and entering a password without entering a password. It becomes possible. Then, at the end of the game, a two-dimensional code that can specify the game history from the input of “easy start” to the end, the game random number acquired at the end, and date information (game date) is displayed. The player makes a registration request to the management server 1200 based on the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, so that the management server 1200 side plays game random numbers and date / time information (game) The combination of the game random number and the date information (game date) registered in the game history database of the management server 1200 does not match the game history specified from the registration request, that is, The terminal identification information and game history of the player can be newly registered in the player database of the management server 1200, and the game history can be taken over upon receipt of a password from the next time. Therefore, a player who uses the game history storage function for the first time does not need to access the management server 1200 in advance to register as a member before playing a game. The storage function can be used, and thereafter, the game history during that time is registered and stored in the player database of the management server 1200 simply by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the game end operation. It becomes possible.

  In the present embodiment, even a player who plays a game for the second time or later can start a game by simply inputting “Easy Start” without receiving a password. In this case as well as the first player, at the end of the game, it is possible to specify the game history from the input of "Easy Start" to the end, the game random number obtained at the end, and date information (game date and time) A two-dimensional code is displayed. By making a registration request to the management server 1200 based on the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, on the management server 1200 side, first, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that transmitted the game history is the management server 1200. Whether the game history corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information is updated to the game history specified from the registration request; Become. For this reason, even if the player is used for the second time or later, that is, a player whose terminal identification information is already registered in the player database, the game history storage function is used without receiving a password. After that, only by accessing the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the game end operation, the game history during that time can be registered and accumulated in the management server 1200.

  In the present embodiment, both the player whose terminal identification information is not registered in the player database and the player whose terminal identification information is already registered input “Easy Start”. Since it is possible to start the game simply by doing, there is no need to change the start operation one by one depending on whether or not it is the first time. In addition, the processing at the start and end of the game in the slot machine can be made common, and also in the management server 1200, when a player whose terminal identification information is not registered in the player database makes a registration request, The processing can be made common when a player whose identification information has already been registered makes a registration request.

  If the combination of the random number at the end and the date / time information do not match and a new game history is registered, the combination of the game random number and date / time information (game date / time) included in the registration request is registered in the game history database. Therefore, the combination of the game random number and date / time information (game date / time) generated for one player can be prevented from being diverted by other players, and the diversion by other players can also be prevented. In doing so, the management server 1200 only needs to determine whether or not a combination of a game random number and date / time information (game date / time) is registered, so the load on the management server 1200 can be reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the management server 1200 counts the number of registration requests made for terminal identification information that has already been registered, that is, the number of games played without receiving a password. It is determined whether or not the number of times is equal to or greater than a certain number. If the number is equal to or greater than the certain number, a password recommendation guide for recommending playing a game upon receiving a password is notified to the portable terminal. In this password recommendation guidance, by receiving a password issuance and playing a game, it is possible to take over the level and production settings, etc., and by raising the level, an effect that will not be performed unless a password is issued is executed There will be a guide to the points where the game will expand, so it is possible to reflect the game history in the production by using the password for the player who has played without receiving the password. Effective use of various functions.

  In the present embodiment, the password recommendation guidance is notified when the number of registration requests made exceeds a certain number, but it may be notified at other timings. In the present embodiment, as described above, there are provided effects that are executed on condition that the cumulative number of games, the cumulative number of bonuses, etc. are a certain number or more. Missions that are achieved by executing an effect that does not appear unless the cumulative bonus number is greater than or equal to a certain number, that is, missions that cannot be achieved unless the cumulative game number or cumulative bonus number is greater than or equal to a certain number are defined. For this reason, at the timing when the cumulative number of games and the cumulative number of bonuses, etc., in the game history of the player who made the simple update request become a certain number of times or more, that is, when the game history meets the appearance condition of the production. Password recommendation guidance may be provided, and even in such a configuration, the game history is reflected in the production by using the password for the player who is playing the game without receiving the password issuance It is possible to effectively encourage the use of functions that are possible. In addition, when password recommended guidance is performed at a timing when the game history satisfies the appearance condition of the effect, the game history satisfies the appearance condition of the effect, so that a new effect can be executed. It is preferable to notify that the mission can be achieved and that there is a possibility that a privilege will be newly granted. By doing so, it is possible to reflect the game history in the production by using the password. It is possible to promote the use of functions more effectively.

  The second embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to this second embodiment, and there are changes and additions within the scope of the present invention. Needless to say, these are also included in the present invention. In addition, the same or similar configuration as the first embodiment has the same effect as that described in the first embodiment. Moreover, the modification illustrated about 1st Embodiment is applicable to 2nd Embodiment.

  In the second embodiment, the game random number and date / time information extracted from random numbers that fluctuate within a certain range as information that can identify the game when the game is ended after performing the game with “easy start” (Game date and time) is applied, but any data can be used as long as the management server 1200 can identify the game at the end of the game. For example, either a game random number or date and time information may be used. Data that regularly changes such as a number to be added each time “” may be applied. Moreover, you may apply combining these data.

  In the second embodiment, the main menu screen is displayed and the game is started using the game history storage function by inputting “easy start”. However, the first embodiment described above is used. Similarly to the above-mentioned form, it may be configured such that a game using the game history storage function can be started only by performing one of the switches once. In this way, a player who has started a game immediately can be used. However, the function of accumulating the game history can be easily used.

Yes. The selection buttons 7112A and 7112B correspond to the stop switches 8L and 8R when the screens as shown in FIGS. 11 to 14 of the slot machine 1 described in the first embodiment are displayed.

  Under the hitting ball supply tray 703, there are an extra ball receiving tray 704 for storing game balls as game media that cannot be accommodated in the hitting ball supply tray 703, and a hitting operation handle (operation knob) 705 for emitting hitting balls (game balls). Is provided. A game board 706 (see FIG. 5) is detachably attached to the back surface of the glass door frame 702. The game board 706 is a structure including a plate-like body constituting the game board and various components attached to the plate-like body. In addition, a game area 707 is formed on the front surface of the game board 706 in which a game ball that has been struck can flow down. A large number of nails for guiding a game ball are implanted in the game area 707.

  In the vicinity of the center of the game area 707, an effect display device 709 composed of a liquid crystal display device (LCD) is provided. In the effect display device 709, a change display (also referred to as variable display, update display, or cyclic display) of effect symbols (decorative symbols) synchronized with the change display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol is performed. The variation display of the effect symbol is executed in various variations such as scroll display and on-site switching display. The effect display device 709 corresponds to a variable display device that performs variable display of effect symbols (decorative symbols) as a plurality of types of identification information that can identify each. In the effect display device 709, an effect symbol display area for displaying an effect symbol on the display screen is provided. For example, three (plural) “left”, “middle”, and “right” are displayed in the effect symbol display area. There is a symbol display area as a display area for variably displaying the effect symbols. Each of these three effect symbols is an effect symbol as a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified. The effect display device 709 is controlled by an effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board. When the variation control of the first special symbol is executed by the first special symbol display unit 708a, the effect control microcomputer causes the effect display device 709 to execute the effect display along with the variation display, and the second special symbol display unit 708a executes the second special display. When the variation display of the second special symbol is executed on the symbol display 708b, the effect display is executed by the effect display device along with the variation display, so that it is possible to easily grasp the progress of the game.

  On the left side of the upper portion of the effect display device 709 in the game board 706, there is a first special symbol display (first variation display means) 708a that variably displays the first special symbols as a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified. Is provided. In this embodiment, the first special symbol display 708a is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7 segment LED) capable of displaying numbers 0 to 9 in a variable manner. In other words, the first special symbol display 708a is configured to variably display numbers (or symbols) from 0 to 9. On the right side of the upper portion of the effect display device 709 in the game board 706, there is a second special symbol display (second variation display means) 708b that variably displays a second special symbol as a plurality of types of identification information that can be identified. Is provided. The second special symbol display 708b is realized by a simple and small display (for example, 7-segment LED) capable of displaying numbers 0 to 9 in a variable manner. In other words, the second special symbol display 708b is configured to variably display numbers (or symbols) from 0 to 9.

  In this embodiment, the type of the first special symbol and the type of the second special symbol are the same (for example, both 0 to 9), but the types may be different. Further, the first special symbol display unit 708a and the second special symbol display unit 708b may be configured to variably display, for example, a number (or a two-digit symbol) of 00 to 99, for example.

  Hereinafter, the first special symbol and the second special symbol may be collectively referred to as a special symbol, and the first special symbol indicator 708a and the second special symbol indicator 708b may be collectively referred to as a special symbol indicator. The first special symbol is subjected to the variable display on the condition that the second special symbol display unit 708b does not execute the variable display of the second special symbol. For the second special symbol, the variable display is executed on the condition that the first special symbol display unit 708a does not execute the variable display of the first special symbol. That is, either the first special symbol or the second special symbol is variably displayed without being variably displayed at the same time.

  For the variation display of the first special symbol or the second special symbol, the first start condition or the second start condition, which is the execution condition of the variation display, is satisfied (for example, the game ball has the first start winning opening 713 or the second start winning opening) 714), the display condition of the variable display (for example, when the number of reserved memories is not 0 and the variable display of the first special symbol and the second special symbol is not executed) The game is started based on the fact that the big hit game is not executed), and when the variable display time (variable time) elapses, the display result (stop symbol) is derived and displayed. Note that winning means that a game ball has passed through a predetermined area such as a prize opening (a game ball has entered). Deriving and displaying the display result is to finally stop and display a symbol (an example of identification information).

  In the following description, the fact that the game ball has won the first start prize opening 713 may be referred to as a first start prize, and the fact that the game ball has won the second start prize opening 714 will be referred to as a second start prize. There is a case. The data related to the variable display in which the start condition is satisfied but the start condition is not satisfied is held and stored as reserved storage data that is a right to perform variable display of the special symbol until the start condition is satisfied. Specifically, the on-hold storage data is stored in a predetermined area of a RAM 755 of a game control microcomputer 7560 described later. On-hold storage data for the first start prize is stored in the first on-hold storage buffer as first on-hold storage data with a predetermined number (for example, 4) as an upper limit, and on-premise storage data for the second start prize is stored in a predetermined number (for example, 4). Is stored in the second reserved storage buffer as second reserved storage data.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 700, a ball striking device for driving a driving motor in response to a player operating a ball striking operation handle 705 and launching a game ball to the game area 707 using the rotational force of the driving motor (see FIG. Not shown). A game ball launched from the ball striking device enters the game area 707 through a ball striking rail formed in a circular shape so as to surround the game area 707, and then descends the game area 707. When the game ball enters the first start winning port 713 and is detected by the first start port switch 713a, if the variation display of the first special symbol can be started (for example, the variation display of the special symbol ends, 1), the first special symbol display unit 708a starts the variation display (variation) of the first special symbol, and the effect display device 709 starts the variation display of the effect symbol (decoration symbol). Is done. That is, the change display of the first special symbol and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the first start winning opening 713. If the variable display of the first special symbol cannot be started, the first reserved memory number is increased by 1 on condition that the first reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

  When the game ball enters the second start winning port 714 and is detected by the second start port switch 714a, if the variation display of the second special symbol can be started (for example, the variation display of the special symbol ends, 2), the second special symbol display unit 708b starts the variation display (variation) of the second special symbol, and the effect display device 709 starts the variation display of the effect symbol (decoration symbol). Is done. In other words, the variation display of the second special symbol and the effect symbol corresponds to winning in the second start winning opening 714. If the variable display of the second special symbol cannot be started, the second reserved memory number is increased by 1 on condition that the second reserved memory number has not reached the upper limit value.

  The effect display device 709 is used for decoration (effect) during the variable display time of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 708a and during the variable display time of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 708b. The effect design (decoration design) is displayed as a variation design. The change display of the first special symbol on the first special symbol display 708a and the change display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 709 are synchronized. Further, the variation display of the second special symbol on the second special symbol display 708b and the variation display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 709 are synchronized. Synchronous means that the start point and end point of variable display are substantially the same (may be exactly the same) and the period of variable display is substantially the same (may be exactly the same). In addition, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the first special symbol display 708a and when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the second special symbol display 708b, the effect display device 709 causes the jackpot to be recalled. The combination of is stopped and displayed. The first special symbol display device 708a, the second special symbol display device 708b, and the effect display device 709 described above are variable display devices that perform variable display of identification information and derive and display the display result, and are used as a variable display unit. It is done.

  In the effect display device 709, when the variable display is started, for example, all of the left, middle, and right effect symbols start the variable display. Then, the left, middle, and right effect symbols that are variably displayed basically stop in a predetermined order (for example, a predetermined order such as the order of the left effect symbol, the right effect symbol, and the middle effect symbol). When a predetermined variation time has elapsed from the start of variation display, all the left, middle and right effect symbols are stopped and the display result is confirmed. The order in which the left, middle, and right effect symbols stop may be other than the order of the left, right, and center symbols. Further, the left, middle, and right effect symbols may be stopped simultaneously.

  A winning device having a first start winning port 713 is provided below the effect display device 709. The game ball that has won the first start winning opening 713 is guided to the back of the game board 706 and detected by the first start opening switch 713a.

  A variable winning ball device (electric tulip) having a second starting winning port 714 (second starting port) through which a game ball can win is located below a winning device having a first starting winning port (first starting port) 713. ) 715 is provided. The game ball that has won the second start winning opening 714 is guided to the back of the game board 706 and detected by the second start opening switch 714a. The variable winning ball device 715 is opened by a solenoid 716. When the variable winning ball device 715 is in the open state, the game ball can be awarded to the second start winning port 714 (it is easy to start winning), which is advantageous for the player. In a state where the variable winning ball device 715 is in the open state, it is easier for the game ball to win the second starting winning port 714 than the first starting winning port 713. In addition, in a state where the variable winning ball device 715 is in the closed state, the game ball does not win the second start winning port 714. Note that, in a state where the variable winning ball device 715 is in the closed state, it may be configured such that although it is difficult to win, it is possible to win (that is, the game ball is difficult to win). As described above, the state where the variable winning ball device 715 is in the closed state may be a state where the game ball is difficult to win or does not win the second start winning port 714.

  Hereinafter, the first start winning port 713 and the second start winning port 714 may be collectively referred to as a start winning port or a starting port.

  When the variable winning ball device 715 is controlled to be in the open state, the game ball heading toward the variable winning ball device 715 is very likely to win the second start winning port 714. The first start winning opening 713 is provided directly below the effect display device 709, but the interval between the lower end of the effect display device 709 and the first start winning opening 713 is further reduced, or the first start winning opening is set. The winning percentage of the second starting prize opening 714 is such that the nails are densely arranged around the area 713 and the arrangement of the nails around the first starting prize opening 713 is difficult to guide the game balls to the first starting prize opening 713. You may make it make higher than the winning rate of the 1st start winning opening 713.

  Below the first special symbol display 708a, the number of effective winning balls that have entered the first start winning opening 713, that is, the first reserved memory number (the reserved memory is also referred to as the start memory or the start winning memory) 4 is displayed. There is provided a first special symbol reservation storage display 718a (not shown) consisting of two indicators (for example, LEDs). The first special symbol storage memory indicator 718a increases the number of indicators to be lit by 1 each time there is an effective start winning. Then, each time the variable display on the first special symbol display 708a is started, the number of indicators to be turned on is reduced by one.

  Below the second special symbol display 708b is a second special symbol hold comprising four indicators (for example, LEDs) for displaying the number of effective winning balls that have entered the second start winning opening 714, that is, the second reserved memory number. A storage indicator 718b (not shown) is provided. The second special symbol storage memory display 718b increases the number of indicators to be turned on by 1 every time there is an effective start winning. Then, each time the variable display on the second special symbol display 708b is started, the number of indicators to be turned on is reduced by one.

  Further, the display screen of the effect display device 709 is provided with a first reserved memory display unit 718c that displays the first reserved memory number and a second reserved memory display unit 718d that displays the second reserved memory number. (Each display area is provided). In addition, you may make it provide the area | region (sum total pending | holding memory display part) which displays the total number (sum total pending memory count) which is the sum total of the 1st pending memory count and the 2nd pending memory count. As described above, if the summation pending storage display unit for displaying the total number is provided, it is possible to easily grasp the total number of execution conditions that have not met the variable display start condition.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 38, a variable winning ball device 715 that opens and closes only with respect to the second start winning opening 714 is provided. Any of the start winning ports 714 may be provided with a variable winning ball device that opens and closes.

  A reach state may occur during the effect symbol display on the effect display device 709. Here, in the reach state, when the effect symbols that are stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 709 constitute a part of the combination of jackpot symbols, the variation of the effect symbols that are not yet stopped and displayed continues. Or a display state in which all or a part of the effect symbols fluctuate synchronously while constituting all or part of a combination of jackpot symbols. In other words, reach means a state in which identification information constitutes a specific display result in a plurality of variable display areas, but at least some of the variable areas are in variable display. In this embodiment, the reach state is formed, for example, in a state where the same symbol is stopped in the left and right symbol display areas and the symbol is not stopped in the middle symbol display area. The symbols stopped in the left and right symbol display areas when the reach state is formed are called reach formation symbols or reach symbols.

  The display effect in the reach state is reach effect display (reach effect). In addition, during the reach, an unusual performance may be performed with a lamp or sound. This production is called reach production. Further, in the case of reach, a character (an effect display imitating a person or the like, which is different from a design (effect design etc.)) or a display mode (for example, color etc.) of the background image of the effect display device 709 is displayed. ) May change. This change in character display and background display mode is called reach effect display. In addition, some reach is set such that when it appears, a big hit is more likely to occur than a normal reach (normal reach), and there is a high degree of reliability for the big hit. Such special (specific) reach is called super reach.

  As shown in FIG. 38, a special variable winning ball device 720 is provided below the variable winning ball device 715. The special variable winning ball apparatus 720 includes an opening / closing plate, and can be changed into an open state (first state) in which a game ball can be won and a closed state (second state) in which the game ball does not win. Device. Note that the special variable winning ball device 720 may be configured so that in the closed state, it is difficult to win, but it is possible to win (that is, it is difficult for the game ball to win). Thus, the state in which the special variable winning ball device 720 is in the closed state may be a state in which the game ball is difficult to win or does not win the special variable winning ball device 720.

  The special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is a solenoid in a specific game state (a big hit game state) that occurs when a specific display result (a big hit symbol) is derived and displayed on the first special symbol display unit 708a or the second special symbol display unit 708b. When the opening / closing plate is controlled to be in the open state by 721, the large winning opening serving as the winning area is opened. A game ball that has won a big winning opening is detected by a count switch 723.

  In the big hit gaming state, repeated continuous control is performed in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 repeats an open state and a closed state. In the repeated continuation control, a state where the special variable winning ball device 720 is opened is called a round. In the present embodiment, a plurality of types of jackpots are provided. When it is determined that a jackpot is to be made, one of the jackpot types is selected. In this embodiment, the control example in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is opened only once in one round is shown. However, the present invention is not limited to this. You may make it perform control which makes the ball | bowl apparatus 720 open.

  A normal symbol display 710 (not shown) is provided below the effect display device 709. The normal symbol display 710 variably displays a plurality of types of identification information called “normal symbols” (for example, “◯” and “x”).

  When the game ball passes through the gate 732 and is detected by the gate switch 732a, the display variation display of the normal symbol display 710 is started. In this embodiment, the left and right lamps (the symbols can be visually recognized at the time of lighting) are alternately turned on to perform the variable display. For example, if the left lamp is turned on at the end of the variable display, it is a hit. When the stop symbol on the normal symbol display 710 is a predetermined symbol (winning symbol “◯”), the variable winning ball apparatus 715 is opened for a predetermined number of times. That is, the state of the variable winning ball device 715 is a state that is advantageous from a disadvantageous state for the player when the stop symbol of the normal symbol is a winning symbol (a state in which a game ball can be awarded at the second start winning port 714). To change.

  In the vicinity of the normal symbol display 710, a normal symbol holding storage display 741 (not shown) having four indicators (for example, LEDs) for displaying the number of winning balls that have passed through the gate 732 is provided. Every time there is a game ball passing through the gate 732, that is, every time a game ball is detected by the gate switch 732a, the normal symbol hold storage display 741 increases the number of indicators to be turned on by one. Then, each time the variable symbol display on the normal symbol indicator 710 is started, the number of indicators that are lit is reduced by one. There are four upper limit values for the number of ordinary symbols stored, and the normal symbol storage memory display 741 lights the display with these four as upper limits.

  Decorative LEDs 725 flashing and displayed during the game are provided around the left and right sides of the game area 707 of the game board 706, and an outlet 726 into which a hit ball that has not been won is taken in at the bottom. In addition, two speakers 727R and 727L that utter sound effects and sounds as predetermined sound outputs are provided on the left and right upper portions outside the game area 707. A top frame LED 728a, a left frame LED 728b, and a right frame LED 728c provided on the front frame are provided on the outer periphery upper portion, the outer periphery left portion, and the outer periphery right portion of the game area 707. For example, the top frame LED 728a, the left frame LED 728b, and the right frame LED 728c are related displays in the pseudo-continuous production as the repetitive variation pattern (each re-variation period (including the initial variation period) during one variation period). When an effect such that the effect is executed) is executed, blinking control is performed.

  The repeated variation pattern is a variation pattern in which a specific effect display is repeatedly executed a predetermined number of times after a special symbol and an effect symbol change display is started and a display result is derived and displayed, and then a reach effect is executed. . Here, the specific effect display is, for example, an effect display such as a re-change effect display, and if it is an effect display that can be repeatedly executed a predetermined number of times, for example, an effect display other than the re-change display such as a notice display is possible. May be. In this embodiment, as an example of a repeated variation pattern, an example will be described in which a pseudo variation pattern that can be repeatedly executed a predetermined number of times with re-variation as a specific effect display is used.

  Here, the pseudo-ream is an effect display that makes it appear that a plurality of fluctuations corresponding to a plurality of reserved memories are continuously performed although it is a single fluctuation corresponding to one reserved memory. Abbreviation for pseudo-continuous variation.

  In addition, the pseudo-ream is within the variation time determined with respect to one start winning prize in order to make it appear as if multiple symbols of variable display (variable display) have been executed for one starting winning prize. In this case, a special variation pattern (also referred to as a variation display pattern) in which temporary stop and re-variation are executed a predetermined number of times for all symbol sequences (left, middle, right) For example, the greater the number of re-variation repeated executions (also referred to as quasi-continuous re-variation times), the greater the reliability that will be the big hit (when the big hit is made for all the selection ratios, including when the big hit is out of place The degree of the ratio selected in the above, the ratio of the jackpot, that is, the reliability of the jackpot) is increased. More specifically, the ratio selected when it is determined that the jackpot is high. In the pseudo-continuous variation pattern, a combination of symbols temporarily stopped in the effect display device 709 is called a temporary stop symbol combination. The combination of temporary stop symbols is determined as one of the pseudo consecutive chances among a plurality of types of chances (hereinafter referred to as pseudo continuous chances) composed of combinations of symbols other than the jackpot symbol combination. Further, when the pseudo continuous fluctuation is executed, some reach effect may be executed as a final reach state.

  Also, a prize ball LED 751 that is turned on when there is a remaining number of prize balls is provided in the vicinity of the left frame LED 728b, and a ball cut LED 752 that is turned on when the supply ball is cut is provided in the vicinity of the right frame LED 728c. . The top frame LED 728a, the left frame LED 728b, the right frame LED 728c, and the decoration LED 725 are an example of an effect light emitter provided in the pachinko gaming machine 700. In addition to the above-described various LEDs for production (decoration), LEDs and lamps for production are installed.

  In addition, a prepaid card unit (hereinafter also simply referred to as “card unit”) that enables lending a ball by inserting a prepaid card is installed adjacent to the pachinko gaming machine 700 (not shown).

  In FIG. 39, (A) shows a hit type table showing the characteristics of the hit type control including the big hit and the small hit, and (B) shows the base and the fluctuation time state after the end of the big hit gaming state of the sudden big hit. Shown is an abrupt big hit base / fluctuation time state selection table used to determine.

  In the hit type table of FIG. 39, for each hit type in the big hit and the small hit, the big hit probability after the end of the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state, the base after the end of the big hit gaming state or the small hit gaming state, the big hit The variation time after the end of the gaming state or the small hit gaming state, the number of times of opening in the big hit (number of rounds), and the opening time of each round are shown. As shown in FIG. 39, as the jackpot gaming state with different numbers of rounds, there are provided a plurality of types of jackpot gaming states of 15 rounds of jackpot gaming state and 2 rounds of jackpot gaming state. In the small hit, a small hit game state with the same number of times of opening and open time as the two round big hit game state.

  Specifically, in the 15-round big hit game state, after the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is in the open state, a predetermined open state end condition (a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) has elapsed in the open state). Alternatively, the closed state is established in response to the establishment of a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls in which a winning ball is generated. When the opening end condition is satisfied, a right to continue is generated, and the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is opened again. The generation of the continuation right is repeated until the number of releases in the big hit gaming state reaches 15 rounds (final round), which is a predetermined upper limit value.

  Also, in the two-round big hit game state, after the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is in the open state, a predetermined open state end condition (a predetermined period (for example, 0.5 seconds) has elapsed in the open state) Alternatively, the closed state is established in response to the establishment of a predetermined number (for example, 10) of winning balls in which a winning ball is generated. When the opening end condition is satisfied, a right to continue is generated, and the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is opened again. The generation of the continuation right is repeated until the number of times of opening in the big hit gaming state reaches two rounds (final round) at which a predetermined upper limit value is reached.

  In this way, the big win of 2 rounds is allowed up to the number of times of opening the big prize opening is less than 15 rounds (2 times in this embodiment), but the opening time of the big prize opening is short (for example, 0 .5 seconds) type of jackpot (type). In the case of the present embodiment, as a big hit of two rounds, the opening time of the grand prize opening is extremely short (0.5 seconds), and substantially a prize ball (a prize ball paid out for the prize) is obtained. There is a hit that is not possible.

  In addition, as a big hit of two rounds, it is possible to provide only a hit where a prize ball cannot be obtained, or only a hit where a prize ball can be obtained. Both a win and a win from which a prize ball can be obtained may be provided.

  Among the “big hits”, after being controlled to the big hit game state of 15 rounds or 2 rounds, the probability that the special game state is determined to be a big hit compared to the normal state (the normal game state which is not the probability change state) A type of jackpot (type) that shifts to a high probability state (an abbreviation of a probability variation state, also referred to as a high probability state) is called “probability big hit”. In the present embodiment, the special gaming state is controlled to a time-short state in which the variation time (variation display period) of the special symbol or the production symbol is shortened from the non-time-short state in association with the probability variation state. There is. Note that the special gaming state may be controlled to the short time state independently of the probability variation state.

  In this way, the transition time to the short-time state reduces the variation time of the special symbol and the production symbol. Therefore, when the short-time state is reached, it is easy for an effective start winning to occur, and a big hit game may be performed. Rise.

  Of the “big hit”, the type of jackpot (type) that does not shift to the probability change state after being controlled to the big hit gaming state of 15 rounds or 2 rounds is called “ordinary big hit”. In the present embodiment, an example in which a normal big hit is provided for a big hit of 15 rounds is shown. In addition, a “normal jackpot” may be provided for either or both of 15 round jackpots and 2 round jackpots. Also, the normal big hits may not be provided for both the 15 round big hits and the two round big hits.

  In addition, as a special gaming state, an electric chew support that facilitates (higher frequency) winning in the variable winning ball device 715 by increasing the frequency with which the variable winning ball device 715 is opened in association with the probability changing state. It may be controlled to the control state. Note that the special game state may be controlled to the electric chew support control state independently of the probability change state.

  Here, electric Chu support control will be described. As electric support control, normal symbol variation time (time from the start of variation display to display result derivation display time) is shortened and the display result is derived and displayed at an early stage (normal symbol shortening control), normal symbol Control to increase the probability that the stop symbol of the game will be a winning symbol (ordinary symbol probability control), control to increase the opening time of the variable winning ball device 715 (opening time extension control), and increase the number of opening of the variable winning ball device 715 Control (opening number increase control) is performed. When such control is performed, the time ratio during which the variable winning ball apparatus 715 is open is higher than when the control is not performed, so the winning frequency to the second start winning opening 714 is increased. As a result, the game ball becomes easier to start and win (the execution conditions for the variable display in the special symbol displays 708a and 708b and the effect display device 709 are more easily established). In addition, by increasing the winning frequency to the second starting winning port 714 by such control, a gaming state is achieved in which the frequency of establishment of the second starting condition and / or the frequency of execution of the variable display of the second special symbol is increased.

  The state (high frequency state) in which the winning frequency to the second start winning opening 714 is increased by such electric Chu support control is the number of game balls to be paid out as a winning ball according to the winning with respect to the number of shot balls. Since the ratio “base” is higher than when the control is not performed, it is called “high base state”. Further, when such control is not performed, it is called a “low base state”. Such control is control for facilitating winning to the variable winning ball apparatus 715 by supporting the winning with the variable winning ball apparatus 715, that is, the electric tulip, and is referred to as “electric chew support control”.

  Furthermore, as the electric chew support control, by shifting to a state in which any one of a normal symbol shortening control state, a normal symbol probability changing control state, an opening time extension control state, and an opening number increase control state are combined, You may make it transfer to a high base state. In addition, as the electric chew support control, by shifting to any one of the normal symbol shortening control state, the normal symbol probability changing control state, the opening time extension control state, and the opening number increasing control state, You may make it transfer to a state. As described above, as the electric chew support control, any one of a normal symbol shortening control state, a normal symbol probability changing control state, an opening time extension control state, and an opening number increasing control state, any one of a plurality (all) Any control may be performed as long as the control is performed in a combined state or a combined state.

  In the present embodiment, the special gaming state may be controlled to the time reduction state and the electric chew support control state accompanying the probability changing state. Note that the special gaming state may be controlled to the time-saving state and the electric chew support control state independently of the probability changing state. In addition, as a relationship between the short time state and the electric chew support control state in the special game state, the electric chew support control state may be controlled in association with the short time state. You may make it control to a control state.

  In the case of this embodiment, after the big hit gaming state is finished, the special gaming state is controlled to the electric chew support control state when controlled to the probability variation state, and the electric power is controlled when controlled to the probability variation state. In some cases, the Chu support control state is not controlled. In addition, after the end of the big hit gaming state, when the normal state is entered without being controlled to the probability variation state, it may be controlled to the electric chew support control state in which the period is limited by the number of variable displays.

  In this embodiment, “high probability state (probability variation state)” and “low probability state (non-probability variation state)” are used as terms indicating the state of jackpot probability, and terms indicating a combination of base states are used. , “High base state (electric Chu support control state)” and “low base state (non-electric Chu support control state)” are used.

  Further, in this embodiment, “low accuracy low base state”, “high accuracy low base state”, and “high accuracy high base state” are used as terms indicating a combination of the big hit probability state and the base state. Use. The “low probability low base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the low probability state and the base state is the low base state. The “highly accurate low base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the high probability state and the base state is the low base state. The “high probability high base state” is a state indicating that the state of the big hit probability is the high probability state and the base state is the high base state. Note that, for example, when performing electric Chu support control for a case where the state of the big hit probability becomes a low probability state after the big hit gaming state ends, as in the normal big hit, the state of the big hit probability is a low probability state, and The base state is a “low-accuracy and high-base state” that is a state indicating that the base state is the high-base state.

  As shown in FIG. 39, as the big hit of 15 rounds, a plurality of types of big hits, a normal big hit and a probable big hit, are provided. In addition, as a big hit of the two rounds, an abrupt big hit is provided.

  The normal jackpot is a jackpot that is controlled to the non-probability changing state, the time-short state, and the electric chew support control state (low-accuracy high-base state) after the end of the 15-round jackpot gaming state. The probability variation jackpot is a jackpot in which control is performed to shift to the probability variation state, the short time state, and the electric chew support control state (high probability high base state) after the end of the 15-round jackpot gaming state. In the probability variation big hit, the probability variation state, the time reduction state, and the electric Chu support control state continue for a period until the condition that the next big hit occurs is satisfied.

  In the normal big hit, the period until the shorter condition is satisfied, which is the condition that the time reduction state is executed a predetermined number of times of 100 times of the variable display or the condition that the next big hit occurs. continue. The number of times of variable display in which the time reduction state continues is also referred to as the time reduction number.

  The sudden hit big hit is a big hit in which, after the end of the two round big hit gaming state, control is performed to shift to the probability changing state, the non-time-saving state, and the non-electric Chu support control state (highly accurate low base state). In the sudden big hit, the probability variation state continues for a period until the condition that the next big hit occurs is satisfied.

  In the big hit, the number of rounds is small (twice) and the opening of the big prize opening is very short (open for 0.5 seconds). When notifying that it has become, it is possible to make it appear to the player as if it has suddenly changed into a certain probability change state, which is called “sudden probability change big hit”. “Suddenly probable big hit” may be referred to by the abbreviation “surprise big hit” or “surprise”. In this embodiment, the two-round probability variation big hit is referred to as “surprise big hit”. Such a big hit is a hit where a winning ball is not substantially obtained since the half-second opening is performed only twice in the big hit gaming state.

  The small hit is a hit (advantageous state) in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is opened with the same number of times and opening time as the sudden big hit in the gaming state (small hit gaming state) when the small hit is reached. When a small hit is made, after the small hit gaming state, both the big hit probability and the base state are not changed from those before the start of the small hit gaming state. In this way, the small hit is a hit in which a gaming state such as a big hit probability and a base state is maintained after the small hit gaming state ends and before the start of the small hit gaming state. In this embodiment, the small hit is an example in which the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is opened in the small hit gaming state with the same number of times of opening and the same opening time as the big hit big hit. Not limited to small hits, the opening mode of the special variable winning ball apparatus 720 is not completely the same as the opening mode at the time of the big hit, but seems to be difficult to distinguish from the opening mode at the big hit. It may be. In other words, the small win may be a hit of the special variable winning ball device 720 when the special variable winning ball device 720 is opened with substantially the same number of times of opening and substantially the same opening time as the sudden big hit.

  If it is determined that the big hit gaming state of the low probability low base state will be the high probability low base state after the big hit gaming state of the high probability low hit state, the base state will be small in the low probability low base state. The low base state is the same as the state after the end of the small hit gaming state when it is determined to win. This makes it difficult for the player to identify whether the winning position is a big hit or a small hit when the winning hole is opened twice in the low probability low base state. The fun of the game is improved.

  It should be noted that the normal big hit may be a big hit in which control is performed to the non-probability changing state, the non-time-short state, and the non-electric Chu support control state (low-probability low base state). Further, the probability variation big hit may be a big hit in which control is performed to be a probability variation state, a non-time-short state, and a non-electric Chu support control state (high probability low base state). In addition, the sudden hit big hit may be a big hit in which control is performed to change into a probability changing state, a time reduction state, and an electric Chu support control state (highly accurate high base state).

  FIG. 40 is a block diagram showing an example of a circuit configuration of the main board (game control board) 731. As shown in FIG. 40 also shows a payout control board 737, an effect control board 780, and the like. A game control microcomputer (corresponding to game control means) 7560 for controlling the pachinko gaming machine 700 according to a program is mounted on the main board 731.

  The game control microcomputer 7560 includes a ROM 754 for storing a game control (game progress control) program and the like, a RAM 755 as storage means used as a work memory, a CPU 756 for performing control operations in accordance with the program, and an I / O port unit. 757. In this embodiment, the ROM 754 and the RAM 755 are built in the game control microcomputer 7560. That is, the game control microcomputer 7560 is a one-chip microcomputer. The one-chip microcomputer only needs to incorporate at least the RAM 755 in addition to the CPU 756, and the ROM 754 may be externally attached or incorporated. Further, the I / O port unit 757 may be externally attached. The game control microcomputer 7560 further includes a random number circuit 7503 for generating hardware random numbers (random numbers generated by the hardware circuit).

  In the game control microcomputer 7560, the CPU 756 executes control in accordance with the program stored in the ROM 754, so that the game control microcomputer 7560 (or CPU 756) executes (or performs processing) hereinafter. Specifically, the CPU 756 executes control according to a program. The same applies to microcomputers mounted on substrates other than the main substrate 731.

  The random number circuit 7503 is a hardware circuit used to generate a random number for determination for determining whether or not to win a big hit based on the display result of the special symbol variation display. Random number circuit 7503 updates numerical data in accordance with a set update rule within a numerical range in which an initial value (for example, 0) and an upper limit value (for example, 65535) are set, and generates random timing. Based on the fact that the starting winning time is the time of reading (extracting) the numerical data, it has a random number generation function in which the read numerical data becomes a random value.

  The random number circuit 7503 has a numeric data update range selection setting function (initial value selection setting function and upper limit selection selection function), numeric data update rule selection setting function, and numeric data update rule selection. It has various functions such as a switching function. With such a function, the randomness of the generated random numbers can be improved.

  Further, the game control microcomputer 7560 has a function of setting an initial value of numerical data updated by the random number circuit 7503. For example, a predetermined calculation is performed using an ID number of the game control microcomputer 7560 (an ID number assigned to each product of the game control microcomputer 7560) stored in a predetermined storage area such as the ROM 754. The numerical data obtained by the execution is set as the initial value of the numerical data updated by the random number circuit 7503. By performing such processing, the randomness of the random number generated by the random number circuit 7503 can be further improved.

  The game control microcomputer 7560 reads numerical data as random R from the random number circuit 7503 when a start winning to the first start port switch 713a or the second start port switch 714a occurs, and starts to change the special symbol and effect symbol Sometimes it is determined whether or not to make a jackpot display result as a specific display result based on the random R, that is, whether or not to make a jackpot display result. Then, when it is determined to be a big hit, the gaming state is shifted to a big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state advantageous to the player.

  The RAM 755 is a backup RAM as a non-volatile storage means, part or all of which is backed up by a backup power source created on the power supply board. That is, even if the power supply to the gaming machine is stopped, a part or all of the contents of the RAM 755 is stored for a predetermined period (until the backup power supply cannot be supplied because the capacitor as the backup power supply is discharged). In particular, at least data corresponding to the game state, that is, the control state of the game control means (a special symbol process flag, the value of each reserved storage number counter, etc.) and data indicating the number of unpaid winning balls are stored in the backup RAM. The data corresponding to the control state of the game control means is data necessary for restoring the control state before the occurrence of a power failure or the like based on the data when the power is restored after a power failure or the like occurs. Further, data corresponding to the control state and data indicating the number of unpaid prize balls are defined as data indicating the progress state of the game. In this embodiment, it is assumed that the entire RAM 755 is backed up.

  A reset signal (not shown) from the power supply board is input to the reset terminal of the game control microcomputer 7560. A reset circuit that generates a reset signal supplied to the game control microcomputer 7560 and the like is mounted on the power supply board. Note that when the reset signal becomes high level, the game control microcomputer 7560 and the like are in an operable state, and when the reset signal becomes low level, the game control microcomputer 7560 and the like become inactive. Therefore, an allowable signal that allows the operation of the game control microcomputer 7560 or the like is output during a period in which the reset signal is at a high level, and a game control microcomputer in which the reset signal is at a low level. The operation stop signal for stopping the operation such as 7560 is output. Note that the reset circuit may be mounted on each electric component control board (a board on which a microcomputer for controlling the electric parts is mounted).

  Furthermore, a power-off signal indicating that the power supply voltage from the power supply board has dropped below a predetermined value is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 7560. That is, the power supply board monitors the voltage value of a predetermined voltage (for example, DC30V, DC5V, etc.) used in the gaming machine, and when the voltage value decreases to a predetermined value (the power supply voltage is reduced). A power supply monitoring circuit that outputs a power-off signal indicating that). Further, a clear signal (not shown) indicating that a clear switch for instructing to clear the contents of the RAM is operated is input to the input port of the game control microcomputer 7560.

  An input driver circuit 758 for supplying detection signals from the gate switch 732a, the first start port switch 713a, the second start port switch 714a and the count switch 723 to the game control microcomputer 7560 is also mounted on the main board 731. Also, an output circuit 759 for driving a solenoid 716 for opening / closing the variable winning ball device 715 and a solenoid 721 for opening / closing the special variable winning ball device 720 forming a big winning opening according to a command from the game control microcomputer 7560. It is mounted on the main board 731. Further, an information output circuit (not shown) for outputting an information output signal such as jackpot information indicating the occurrence of a jackpot gaming state to an external device such as a hall computer is also mounted on the main board 731.

Perform the selection operation in.

  FIG. 41 is a block diagram illustrating a circuit configuration example of the relay board 777, the effect control board 780, the lamp driver board 735, and the audio output board 770. In the example shown in FIG. 41, the lamp driver board 735 and the audio output board 770 are not equipped with a microcomputer, but may be equipped with a microcomputer. Further, without providing the lamp driver board 735 and the audio output board 770, only the effect control board 780 may be provided for effect control.

  The effect control board 780 is equipped with an effect control microcomputer 7100 including an effect control CPU 7101 and a RAM. The RAM may be externally attached. In the effect control board 780, the effect control CPU 7101 operates in accordance with a program stored in a built-in or external ROM (not shown), and receives a signal from the main board 731 input via the relay board 777. In response to the (production control INT signal), the production control command is received via the input driver 7102 and the input port 7103. Further, the effect control CPU 7101 causes a VDP (video display processor) 7109 to perform display control of the effect display device 709 based on the effect control command.

  In this embodiment, a VDP 7109 that performs display control of the effect display device 709 in cooperation with the effect control microcomputer 7100 is mounted on the effect control board 780. The VDP 7109 has an address space independent of the effect control microcomputer 7100, and maps the VRAM therein. The VRAM is a buffer memory for expanding image data generated by the VDP. Then, the VDP 7109 outputs the image data in the VRAM to the effect display device 709.

  The effect control CPU 7101 reads necessary data from a character ROM (not shown) in accordance with the received effect control command. The character ROM is for storing character image data displayed on the effect display device 709, specifically, a person, characters, figures, symbols, etc. (including effect symbols) in advance. The effect control CPU 7101 outputs the data read from the character ROM to the VDP 7109. The VDP 7109 executes display control based on data input from the effect control CPU 7101.

  The effect control CPU 7101 executes the effect and determination of the selection items on the screens of FIGS. 11 to 14 in accordance with the operation signal input from the chance button 7111. The effect control CPU 7101 executes selection of selection items on the screens of FIGS. 11 to 14 in accordance with the operation signals input from the selection buttons 7112A and 7112B.

  The effect control board 780 is connected to a power supply circuit (not shown), and the effect control CPU 7101 of the effect control board 780 has a power supply monitoring function for monitoring that power is supplied from the power supply circuit.

  The effect control command and the effect control INT signal are first input to the input driver 7102 on the effect control board 780. The input driver 7102 allows the signal input from the relay board 777 to pass only in the direction toward the inside of the effect control board 780 (does not pass the signal in the direction from the inside of the effect control board 780 to the relay board 777). It is also a unidirectional circuit as a regulating means.

  Further, the effect control CPU 7101 outputs a signal for driving the LED to the lamp driver board 735 via the output port 7105. Further, the effect control CPU 7101 outputs sound number data to the audio output board 770 via the output port 7104.

  In the lamp driver board 735, a signal for driving the LED is input to the LED driver 7352 via the input driver 7351. The LED driver 7352 supplies a drive signal to each LED provided on the frame side such as the top frame LED 728a, the left frame LED 728b, and the right frame LED 728c. Further, a drive signal is supplied to the decoration LED 725 provided on the game board 706 side. When a light emitter other than the LED is provided, a drive circuit (driver) for driving the light emitter is mounted on the lamp driver substrate 735.

  In the audio output board 770, the sound number data is input to the speech synthesis IC 7703 via the input driver 7702. The voice synthesizing IC 7703 generates voice and sound effects corresponding to the sound number data and outputs them to the amplifier circuit 7705. The amplifier circuit 7705 outputs an audio signal obtained by amplifying the output level of the speech synthesis IC 7703 to a level corresponding to the volume set by the volume 7706 to the speakers 727R and 727L. The voice data ROM 7704 stores control data corresponding to the sound number data. The control data corresponding to the sound number data is a collection of data indicating the sound effect or sound output mode in a time-series manner in a predetermined period (for example, the changing period of the effect design).

  The total number of games and the number of BBs (the number of RBs) in the gaming history of the slot machine 1 described in the first embodiment and the second embodiment are used for the total rotation of the variable display of the effect display device 709 of the pachinko gaming machine 700. By replacing the numbers with the number of jackpots, the contents of the first embodiment and the second embodiment can be applied to the pachinko gaming machine 700.

However, the game history is not limited to this, and may be another game history, for example, an experience value.

  (10) In the above-described embodiment, as described in step S1325, step S1326, and FIG. 35 of FIG. 25, when the effect switch 56 is long pressed during the demonstration display, An effect that suggests how many temporary coins before the start condition is set is executed.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and other methods may be used as long as the specific game history accumulated from the end condition setting time to the start condition setting time is notified. Even if the switch 56 is not operated, it is possible to display how many points have been accumulated, and instead of giving specific notifications, abstract notifications, specifically, about ○ are stored. Or, it may be displayed that some of them are stored, or an effect that suggests that some sheets are stored during the demonstration.

  (11) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in step S1321, step S1263, and step S1267 in FIG. 25, the condition is that the number of games from the start condition setting satisfies the condition of 100 games or more. As described above, the number of provisional coins as a specific game history is included in the number of coins as a player's game history and output.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific game history may be output when the game history from the time when the start condition is set satisfies other conditions. For example, the bonus count is 5 times or more. Or the condition that the difference number is −500 or more.

  (12) In the embodiment described above, as shown in step S1314 to step S1317 in FIG. 24, if it is a lottery, 100% of the number of temporary coins is reflected in the number of coins of the player. If it is off, 50% of the number of temporary coins is reflected in the number of coins of the player.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it may be determined whether or not to reflect a specific game history such as the number of coins (that is, whether to reflect 100% or 0%).

  (13) In the embodiment described above, the number of temporary coins is added to the number of coins before the start of the game immediately after the password is input. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the timing at which the specific game history before setting the start condition is reflected in the player's game history may be another timing. For example, it may be at the time of creating a two-dimensional code.

  (14) In the above-described embodiment, when the game history is accepted on the management server 1200 side, if the number of games is less than a predetermined number of games (for example, 100G), coins are not added and updated. . However, the present invention is not limited to this. When a password is input to a gaming machine, the password is stored in the store server, and when the same password is input on the same day on another gaming machine, the number of games Until the predetermined number of games is reached, the number of provisional coins accumulated before the password is input may not be added to the number of coins of the player.

  (15) In the above-described embodiment, as described with reference to FIG. 10, when the level is low, there are more experience values that can be acquired than when the level is high.

  However, as long as the level is low, the method of easily increasing the level is not limited to this, and other methods may be used. In the above-described embodiment, the level is increased when the experience value reaches a predetermined value (for example, 10) regardless of the level. For example, while the level is low, the experience value necessary for the level increase is used. May be reduced.

  (16) In the above-described embodiment, the update of the number of coins as the acquired data in the gaming machine such as the slot machine 1 is a win in the lottery as shown in steps S1332 to S1335 in FIG. 1 was added. In other words, as a special update, the update by lottery is performed.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even for the same game result, different information is updated as acquired data according to the result of special update different from the game history update based on the game history update data. Other methods may be used as long as they exist.

  For example, updating according to the number by a method in which the number changes every update, such as the number of operations of the effect switch 56 during a predetermined period, may be performed. In addition, the update may be performed according to the time zone or time. Specifically, the time zone or time when there are few players is updated so that the acquired data increases, and the time zone or time when there are many players or You may make it update a time so that acquisition data may decrease. In this way, it is possible to attract a player who wants to acquire acquired data in a time zone or time when there are few players.

  In other words, any method may be used as long as it is an update method for updating the acquired data so that the privilege given according to the acquired data varies.

  (17) In the above-described embodiment, calculation of points as acquired data in the management server 1200 is based on the received game history if it is a lottery as shown in steps S281 to S285 in FIG. The calculation is made by adding the number of points corresponding to the game history update data such as the total number of games included. That is, as a special calculation, a lottery calculation is performed.

  However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even for the same game result, the acquired data is calculated so as to change differently according to the result of the special calculation different from the calculation of the game history based on the game history update data. Other methods may be used as long as they are.
