Next, the electrical configuration of the pachislo 10 will be described with reference to FIG.
A main control board 40 that controls the entire gaming machine is mounted on the back side of the pachislot machine 10. The main control board 40 executes various processes for controlling the entire gaming machine, performs arithmetic processing on various control signals (control commands) according to the processing results, and outputs the control signals. In addition, a sub-control board 41 is mounted on the rear side of the machine to execute effect control according to the gaming state. The sub control board 41 receives various control signals output from the main control board 40 and executes predetermined control based on the control signals.

Hereinafter, the main control board 40 will be described.
The main control board 40 includes a main control CPU 40a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a main control ROM 40b that stores a control program for the main control CPU 40a, and a main control RAM 40c that can write and read necessary data. Is provided. Each reel (left reel 13L, middle reel 13C, and right reel 13R), reel sensors SE1 to SE3, and medal sensor SE4 constituting the drum unit 13 are connected to the main control CPU 40a. Various information display units 17 are connected to the main control CPU 40a. Further, the BET button 19, the MAXBET button 20, the settlement switch 21, the start lever 22, the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, and the hopper 26 are connected to the main control CPU 40a.

  The main control CPU 40a receives first to third position signals from the connected reel sensors SE1 to SE3 in accordance with the symbols (rotational position of each rotating reel) displayed on the see-through window 16. It is like that. The left reel 13L corresponds to the first position signal, the middle reel 13C corresponds to the second position signal, and the right reel 13R corresponds to the third position signal. The main control CPU 40a grasps the rotation position and stop position of each reel based on the first to third position signals, and controls the rotation and stop of each reel based on the first to third position signals. . The main control CPU 40a receives a medal detection signal indicating that a medal has been detected each time the medal sensor SE4 detects a medal from the connected medal sensor SE4. Further, when the connected BET button 19, MAXBET button 20, checkout switch 21, start lever 22, and stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R are operated, the main control CPU 40a indicates that each button has been operated. Various operation signals are input.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating values of various random numbers such as winning combination determination random numbers used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The winning combination determination random number is a random number used when the main control CPU 40a determines a combination (winning combination) according to the winning combination determination table.

  The main control ROM 40b stores a main control program. In addition, the main control ROM 40b stores a plurality of winning combination determination tables in which internal winning probabilities for each gaming state and for each winning combination are determined as an allocation range of winning combination determination random numbers. Further, in the main control ROM 40b, a stop table of symbol combinations for each combination is determined in advance. The stop table is a table in which symbols to be stopped and displayed are determined for each combination according to the operation timing when each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated by the player. The main control RAM 40c stores (sets) various information that is appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachislot 10.

Next, the winning combination determination tables T1, T2, T3 stored in the main control ROM 40b will be described with reference to FIG.
In the main control ROM 40b, the type of winning combination to be selected and the winning probability of each winning unit to be selected (number based on the range of random values). ) Is stored in a table for each gaming state. Each winning combination determination table is used by the main control CPU 40a according to the gaming state. In general games, a winning combination determination table T1 is associated with a low-probability RT game, a winning combination determination table T2 is associated with a high-probability RT game, and a winning combination determination table T3 is associated with a BN game.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 6, in the winning combination determination tables T1 and T2, the winning probabilities of the red BN combination, the white BN combination, the cherry combination, the watermelon combination, the bell combination, the replay combination, and the SIN combination are defined. In the general game, the winning combination random number is distributed so that the winning probability of the replay role is higher in the high probability RT game (1 / 1.7) than in the low probability RT game (1 / 7.3). ing. On the other hand, in the general game, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probabilities of the winning combinations other than the replay combination have the same probability. In the general game, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probability of the red BN combination and the white BN combination is the same probability (1/600).

  For this reason, in this embodiment, in the high-reliability RT game in which the winning probability of the replay role is set to the high-probability lottery state, the consumption (injection) of medals held by the player is reduced by the amount that the re-game is easily given. Can be given to the player. Such a high-definition RT game is an advantageous state for the player.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, in the winning combination determination table T3, winning probabilities for the cherry, watermelon, and bell roles are defined. In the winning combination determination table T3, the winning combination determining random numbers are distributed so that each BN combination, replay combination, and SIN combination are not subject to lottery. Also, as shown in FIG. 6, in the bonus game, the winning combination determination random numbers are distributed so that the winning probability of the bell combination is greatly increased as compared with the general game.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, in the BN game in which the winning probability of the bell role is greatly increased as compared with general games, the medal possessed by the player is increased by the amount that it is easy to win the bell role and easily obtain the award medal. Can do. Such a BN game is advantageous for the player.

  In general games, the winning combination probability of a small combination is set to a predetermined probability in a winning combination determination table in a bonus standby state to be described later. At the time of winning each BN combination in such a bonus standby state, the winning combination is replaced (rewritten) with a winning combination of another winning combination (a small combination or a dismissal combination).

Hereinafter, the sub control board 41 will be described.
The sub-control board 41 includes a sub-control CPU 41a that executes control operations in a predetermined procedure, a sub-control ROM 41b that stores a control program for the sub-control CPU 41a, and a sub-control RAM 41c that can write and read necessary data. Is provided. The sub-control CPU 41a is connected with a display / switch button BT including a display switch button BT1, an input button BT2, and a confirm button BT3. Further, the effect display device 14, the speaker SP, and the lamp R are connected to the sub control CPU 41a. Further, when various buttons BT1 to BT3 to be connected are operated, various operation signals indicating that each button has been operated are input to the sub control CPU 41a. The effect display device 14 issues a two-dimensional code at a predetermined timing (two-dimensional code issuance).

  The sub-control CPU 41a executes random number update processing (random number generation processing) for updating various random number values used in various lotteries at predetermined intervals. The sub-control program is stored in the sub-control ROM 41b. In addition, the sub-control ROM 41b displays a display effect pattern indicating the display effect mode of the effect display device 14, a sound effect pattern indicating the sound output mode of the speaker SP, and a light emission effect pattern indicating the light emission mode of the lamp R. Is remembered. The sub-control RAM 41c stores (sets) various information that can be appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachislot 10. Specifically, the sub control RAM 41c stores (sets) sub status information (such as a flag) related to the gaming state by the sub control CPU 41a.

Hereinafter, processing related to the variable game executed by the main control CPU 40a based on the main control program will be described.
When the main control CPU 40a receives various operation signals, the main control CPU 40a executes predetermined control determined by the various operation signals. The main control CPU 40a executes display control of the various information display units 17 each time by inputting various operation signals and performing various controls. Further, when paying out award medals based on a prize-type winning, the main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 when the credit upper limit number (in this embodiment, “50 (sheets)”) is exceeded. Thus, each time a drive signal is output, control is performed so that one award medal is paid out. The main control CPU 40a outputs a drive signal to the hopper 26 at the time of credit settlement, and controls the player to pay out medals for the credit.

  The main control CPU 40a sets the number of bets when a medal is inserted from the medal insertion slot 18 or when an operation signal of each of the BET buttons 19 and 20 is input. The main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits every time the BET buttons 19 and 20 are operated. Further, the main control CPU 40a updates the number of credits when the number of credits is increased by inserting medals. Then, the main control CPU 40a causes a game startable state in which a variable game can be performed when the bet number of 3 bets is set.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a performs a role lottery (internal lottery) when an operation signal of the start lever 22 is input in a state where the game can be started. Then, the main control CPU 40a acquires the value of the winning combination determination random number from the main control RAM 40c, and the value belongs to the range of each winning combination value in the winning combination determination table stored in the main control ROM 40b. A role lottery is performed to determine whether or not there is. In the role lottery, the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination to be won using the winning combination determination table corresponding to the gaming state. The main control CPU 40a recognizes the gaming state by setting state information (such as a flag) indicating the gaming state in the main control RAM 40c. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs the role lottery in this way functions as a winning combination lottery means.

  When determining the winning combination, the main control CPU 40a stores (sets) in the main control RAM 40c role information (such as a flag) indicating the type of the determined winning combination. That is, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the red BN combination or the white BN combination is won, the main control CPU 40a carries over the combination information of each BN combination in the main control RAM 40c until the winning of each BN combination is generated. . In this way, the state in which the role information of each BN combination is carried over is a bonus standby state in which the occurrence of winning of each BN combination is permitted but is waiting for the generation. On the other hand, when the main control CPU 40a determines that a small role is won, the main control RAM 40c becomes small in response to the end of the variable game (one time) subject to the role lottery regardless of whether or not the small role is won. Erase (clear) the role information of the role.

  For this reason, each BN combination becomes a winning combination that can be carried over the variable game until winning is determined. On the other hand, the small combination becomes a winning combination that cannot be carried over the next and subsequent variable games regardless of whether or not a winning decision is made.

  The main control CPU 40a instructs the start of the variable game at the timing when the player detects the operation of the start lever 22 (after performing a predetermined process such as a role lottery), and the lottery result of the role lottery and A variable game start command indicating a gaming state in which the variable game is played is output to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This variable game start command also instructs the combination information of each carried BN combination. The main control CPU 40a detects the operation of the start lever 22 by the player, and in a state where the wait time has elapsed since the end of the immediately preceding variable game, each reel is started so as to start the rotation operation of each reel. Control. Further, the variable game start command to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) can be output in accordance with the start of the rotation operation of each reel.

  Subsequently, when the CPU 40a for main control inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R based on the player's operation, it performs control (stop control) for stopping the reels corresponding to the various operation signals. Further, the main control CPU 40a grasps information on fluctuation or stop of each reel based on a position signal from a reel sensor corresponding to each reel. That is, the position signal from each reel sensor causes the main control CPU 40a to grasp the change status of each reel during the change of each reel, while the main control CPU 40a knows the stop status of each reel during the stop of each reel. Let The main control CPU 40a maintains the rotating operation without performing stop control on the rotating reel until various operation signals are input from the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R.

  When the main control CPU 40a inputs various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R, the main control CPU 40a outputs the various operation signals to the sub control CPU 41a. The various operation signals of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R indicate the operation status of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, and 23R by the player, that is, which stop button is operated and the order in which the stop buttons are operated. (Sub-control CPU 41a) to grasp.

Next, stop control performed by the main control CPU 40a will be described.
Based on the determined winning combination, the main control CPU 40a stops each reel within a predetermined range (maximum of 4 symbols) from the timing when each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R is operated by the player. Stop the combination of symbols. When the main control CPU 40a stops each reel that is rotating, a combination of symbols based on the winning table selected and the stop table stored in the main control ROM 40b from the operation timing of each stop button 23L, 23C, 23R. Perform stop control to display For this reason, each reel does not necessarily stop at the timing of the stop operation by the player of the stop buttons 23L, 23C, 23R, and the timing of the stop operation by the player does not match the timing at which each reel stops (so-called so-called). , “Slip”). For example, in the control with “slip”, when the timing of the stop operation by the player for the symbol to be stopped is early, each reel is forced to slide in the fluctuation direction of each reel and the symbol to be stopped is stopped on the winning line. Let

  For this reason, if each reel does not have five or more parts of the other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols that you want to stop, it will stop on any winning line as a result of slip control. The desired type of symbol can be stopped and displayed. On the other hand, in each reel, when other types of symbols sandwiched between the types of symbols to be stopped have five or more portions, it is desired to stop at any winning line even with slip control. There are cases where it is not possible to stop the display of types of symbols.

  The main control CPU 40a stops and displays the BN stop eye when the stop operation timing by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when each BN combination is won (carrying over the winning combination). Further, when winning each BN role (winning carryover), the main control CPU 40a preferentially stops and displays the stop eye (combination of symbols) corresponding to the small role.

  On the other hand, when winning each BN role, the main control CPU 40a does not perform the stop operation timing by the player at a predetermined timing, and also has not won a small role or won a small role. However, if the stop eye corresponding to the small role cannot be stopped and displayed, the “chance eye” indicating that there is a possibility of winning the BN role is stopped. This “chance” is not displayed when the winning combination is won, but can be stopped when the cherry or watermelon combination is missed. In this case, a BN combination is missed (combination of combination information) is generated.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the cherry stop eye when the timing of the stop operation by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when the cherry role is won. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stop eye and the chance eye when the stop operation timing by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing when the cherry role is won. In this case, the cherry role is missed.

  Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the watermelon stop eye when the stop operation timing by the player is performed at a predetermined timing when the watermelon role is won. On the other hand, when the timing of the stop operation by the player is not performed at a predetermined timing when the watermelon role is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the stoppage eye and the chance eye. In this case, a watermelon role is missed.

In addition, when the replay winning combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the replay stop eye that is a prize for the replay winning combination regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.
Then, the winning combination of each BN combination and small combination is not determined, that is, when the extraordinary combination is won, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the discontinuation stop eye regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player.

Next, stop control at the time of winning of the bell role (left correct bell role, middle correct bell role, right correct bell role) will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, in the pachislot machine 10 of the present embodiment, three stop buttons are selected when “left correct answer bell role”, “middle correct answer bell role”, and “right correct answer bell role” are selected. Control performed based on the stop button operated first is different. In the present embodiment, the correct answer pressing order corresponding to each of the bell combinations is selected.

  When the correct answer is obtained based on the winning of the bell role, the main control CPU 40a is in the middle stage of the middle reel 13C (medium reel middle stop position D5) as shown in FIG. [ANY / Bell / ANY] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle the three lines L1, L3, and L4. Note that the main control CPU 40a determines that the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R are [ANY] when the correct answer is reached based on the winning of the bell role, but the winning line L1, L1 is determined by [Bell Bell Bell]. Each reel is stopped and displayed so as to form either L3 or L4. In this way, in the stop display across a plurality of winning lines, as will be described later, a winning combination of the bell role occurs simultaneously for the plurality of winning lines (in this embodiment, three). In the following description, “bell winning prize” or “bell winning” means stop display across a plurality of winning lines based on the bell winning.

  On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a is in the upper stage of the middle reel 13C (upper stop position D4 for the middle reel) as shown in FIG. [ANY / Bell / ANY] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one winning line L2. The main control CPU 40a determines that the left reel 13L and the right reel 13R are [ANY] when the push order is incorrect based on the winning of the bell role, but the winning line L2 is determined by [Bell Bell Bell]. Each reel is stopped and displayed so as to form. In the following description, the phrase “missing a bell role” or “bell spilling” means a stop display across only one winning line based on the bell role.

  That is, when the left correct bell combination is won, the stop button 23L for instructing to stop the left reel 13L is operated first, and the bell stop eye that becomes a bell winning is displayed in a stop order. On the other hand, at the time of winning the right correct bell role, the bell stop eye that spills the bell as an incorrect push order is displayed as a stop indication that one of the stop buttons 23C, 23R for instructing to stop other than the left reel 13L is operated first. Is done.

  Further, when the middle correct bell combination is won, the bell stop eye which becomes a bell winning is displayed as a stop in response to pressing the stop button 23C for instructing to stop the middle reel 13C first. On the other hand, at the time of winning the middle correct bell role, the stop button 23L, 23R for instructing to stop other than the middle reel 13C is operated first. Is done.

  In addition, when the right correct bell combination is won, the bell stop eye that becomes a bell win is stopped and displayed by pressing the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R first. On the other hand, at the time of winning the right correct bell role, the bell stop eye that spills the bell as an incorrect push order is displayed as a stop indication that any one of the stop buttons 23L and 23C for instructing to stop other than the right reel 13R is operated first. Is done.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell stop eye that becomes a bell winning regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player if the correct answer is the pushing order when the bell role is won. Further, the main control CPU 40a stops and displays a bell stop eye that spills a bell regardless of the timing of the stop operation by the player if the push order is incorrect when the bell role is won.

Next, stop control at the time of winning the SIN combination will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 7C to 7E, in the pachi-slot 10 of the present embodiment, the control performed based on the operation mode of the three stop buttons is different when the “SIN combination” is won.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a, when winning the SIN role, when the timing of the stop operation by the player is performed at a timing enabling the SIN winning, as shown in FIG. [White Seven Bar Watermelon] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one winning line L2 regardless of the button.

  On the other hand, if the timing of the stop operation by the player is a timing at which a SIN winning is not possible when the SIN role is won, the main control CPU 40a may first operate a stop button for instructing a stop other than the right reel 13R ( [Other than the first operation on the right], as shown in FIG. 7D, [BELL / REPLAY / BELL] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one of the pay lines. Further, the main control CPU 40a, when the SIN combination is won, when the stop operation timing by the player is a timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, if the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first ( As shown in FIG. 7E, [Replay / Bar / Replay] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one of the pay lines. Further, the main control CPU 40a, when the SIN combination is won, when the stop operation timing by the player is a timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, if the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first ( (First operation on the right), as shown in FIG. 7E, the stop display of [bar / bar / bar] is allowed so as to straddle only one pay line L3.

  In other words, the main control CPU 40a, when the SIN combination is won, the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first, and when the SIN winning is not possible, [bar] is stopped and displayed on each reel. If a stop operation is performed by the player at the timing, the [bar / bar / bar] is stopped and displayed so as to straddle only one pay line L3. In the following description, a symbol combination that forms a winning line by [Bell / Replay / Bell] is referred to as “normal SIN spilling stop eye”. In addition, in the following explanation, a symbol combination that forms a winning line by [Replay / Bar / Replay] is called “special SIN spill stop”, and among them, a symbol combination that forms a winning line by [Bar / Bar / Bar] Is called "bar stop eyes". Each SIN spilling stop eye is different from any of the stop eyes shown in FIG. In addition, each SIN spilling stop eye does not give a prize medal to the player even if it is stopped on the winning line, but is different from the stop stop eye.

  The main control CPU 40a then wins the SIN role, that is, the SIN win regardless of the stop button that is operated first when the stop operation timing by the player is the timing at which the SIN winning is possible when the SIN role is won. The SIN stop eye is stopped and displayed. In addition, when the main control CPU 40a wins the SIN role and the timing of the stop operation by the player is a timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, if the stop button for instructing to stop other than the right reel 13R is operated first, A normal SIN spill stop eye that is a normal SIN spill, that is, a normal SIN spill stop is displayed. On the other hand, the main control CPU 40a, when winning the SIN role, if the stop operation timing by the player is a timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, if the stop button 23R instructing to stop the right reel 13R is operated first, A special SIN spilling stop, that is, a special SIN spilling stop eye is displayed. Further, the main control CPU 40a, when winning the SIN role, the timing of the stop operation by the player is the timing at which the SIN winning is not possible, and when the [bar] can be stopped and displayed in each row, If the stop button 23R for instructing to stop 13R is first operated, the bar stop eye is stopped and displayed among the special SIN spill stop eyes. In the present embodiment, when [bar] can be stopped and displayed in each column, symbols are arranged on each reel so that the SIN winning is not possible.

  Subsequently, the main control CPU 40a makes a winning determination when all the reels are stopped and the symbol combination is stopped and displayed. In this case, the main control CPU 40a reads out the combination information from the main control RAM 40c, and performs a winning determination for determining whether a combination of symbols corresponding to the read combination information (winning combination) is stopped and displayed on the winning line. . Further, in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a identifies the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line from the position signal input with each reel being stopped, and the combination is the role information. It is determined whether or not the winning mode corresponds to (winning role). When the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line is a winning mode corresponding to the winning combination information (winning winning combination), the main control CPU 40a determines the winning combination (affirmative) based on the winning combination information. On the other hand, if the combination of symbols stopped and displayed on the winning line is not the winning mode corresponding to the winning combination information (winning winning combination), the main control CPU 40a does not win the winning combination based on the winning combination information (ie, the winning combination). Judgment of missing winning combination based on information.

  Then, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the winning is determined by the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a performs control according to the winning mode determined to be the winning. That is, the main control CPU 40a performs control for shifting the gaming state and control for paying out prize medals in accordance with the prize mode. Further, when the main control CPU 40a determines that the winning is determined in the winning determination, the main control CPU 40a outputs a winning instruction command indicating that the winning is determined to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This winning instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a) to recognize the winning combination of the winning combination instructed by the variable game start command.

  Specifically, when determining the winning of each BN combination, the main control CPU 40a performs BN game control as a game state control for shifting from the next variable game to the BN game. In this BN game control, the main control CPU 40a starts counting the number of BN payouts of award medals awarded (paid out) to the player from the first variable game after the start of the BN game. Further, the main control CPU 40a ends the BN game with the end of the variable game in which the BN payout number exceeds the maximum payout number. The main control CPU 40a ends the BN game with the end of the variable game exceeding “360” as the maximum payout number in the BN game control based on the occurrence of the red BN winning combination. Further, the main control CPU 40a ends the BN game with the end of the variable game that exceeds “120” as the maximum payout number in the BN game control based on the occurrence of the white BN winning combination.

  When determining the winning of the cherry role, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out two prize medals. Then, the main control CPU 40a determines the cherry stop eye so as to straddle the two winning lines L2 and L3 in the upper stage of the left reel 13L (upper stop position D1 for the left reel) when determining the winning of the cherry role. When the stop display is made, it is controlled to pay out four prize medals, which is twice the number of two winnings of two cherry roles. Further, the main control CPU 40a stops the cherry stop eye so as to straddle only one winning line L1 in the middle stage of the left reel 13L (left reel middle stop position D2) when determining the winning of the cherry role. When displayed, control is performed to pay out two prize medals. The main control CPU 40a performs control so that one or more prize medals are not paid out when determining that the cherry role is missed when the cherry role is won.

  Further, when determining the winning of the watermelon combination, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out six award medals. Note that the main control CPU 40a performs control so that one or more prize medals are not paid out when determining that the watermelon role is missed when the watermelon role is won.

  When determining the winning of the bell role, the main control CPU 40a performs control to pay out four prize medals. When the main control CPU 40a stops and displays the bell stop eye which becomes the bell winning at the time of determining the winning of the bell role, three times the winning of the bell role is generated at the same time, which is three times four. Control to pay out 12 award medals. Further, the main control CPU 40a performs control for paying out four prize medals when the bell stop eye that spills the bell is stopped and displayed at the time of determining the winning of the bell role. In this case, the main control CPU 40a may perform control related to the transition of the gaming state to be described later.

  When determining the replay winning combination, the main control CPU 40a performs control for replaying the next variable game. As such control, the main control CPU 40a sets the same bet number as that of the variable game for which the winning is determined.

  When determining the winning of the SIN role, the main control CPU 40a performs SIN game control as a game state control for shifting to the SIN game for the next one-time variable game. In this SIN game control, the main control CPU 40a ends the SIN game with the end of one variable game that is the target of the SIN game. In this case, the main control CPU 40a controls the variable game to be the target of the SIN game so as to be in the gaming state at the time of winning the SIN role that triggered the SIN game. The main control CPU 40a does not perform the SIN game control when determining the SIN spillage when the SIN combination is won. In this case, the main control CPU 40a may perform control related to the transition of the gaming state to be described later.

Next, a mode of transition of the gaming state controlled by the main control CPU 40a based on the variable game according to the gaming state will be described with reference to FIG.
When shifting the gaming state, the main control CPU 40a outputs a state instruction command indicating the transitioned gaming state to the sub control board 41 (sub control CPU 41a). This state instruction command causes the sub control board 41 (the sub control CPU 41a) to grasp the gaming state managed by the main control CPU 40a.

  Then, the main control CPU 40a shifts from the next variable game to the BN game (BN) with the occurrence of winning of each BN winning combination (BN winning) in the general game, that is, the stop display of the BN stop. In this case, the main control CPU 40a makes the transition from the next variable game to the low probability RT game (low probability RT) regardless of the gaming state at the time of winning when the BN game ends.

  Further, during the control of the low-probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the SIN role and makes a transition to the high-probability RT game (high-definition RT) when a special SIN spill occurs in the SIN spill. During the control of the low probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the SIN role and continues the low probability RT game from the next variable game depending on the occurrence of a SIN prize or a normal SIN spill. That is, in the low probability RT game, if the special SIN spill stop eye is stopped and the SIN game is not performed even if the SIN role is won and the SIN spill stop eye is stopped, the transition condition to the high probability RT game is satisfied. In addition, in the low-accuracy RT game, when the SIN role is won and the SIN stop eye is stopped and the SIN game is played, or when the SIN role is won and the SIN spill stop eye is displayed, the normal SIN spill stop eye is stopped and displayed. When the game is not performed, the transition condition to the high probability RT game is not satisfied and the game is continued.

  Further, during the control of the high probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the role of the bell and makes the transition to the low probability RT game when the bell spills. Note that during the control of the high probability RT game, the main control CPU 40a wins the bell role and continues the high probability RT game from the next variable game depending on the occurrence of the bell winning. That is, in the high-definition RT game, if the bell stop eye that wins the bell role and spills the bell is stopped and 12 award medals are not obtained (4 award medals are obtained), the low probability RT The game transition condition ("falling condition" which is the end of the high-definition RT game) is satisfied. In addition, in the high-definition RT game, if the bell stop eye that wins the bell role and is awarded a bell win is stopped and 12 award medals are obtained, the transition condition to the low-definition RT game is not satisfied and is continued. The

Next, a process related to a variable game executed by the sub control CPU 41a based on the sub control program will be described.
When the sub-control CPU 41a inputs various commands such as a variable game start command and a winning instruction command, the display content of the effect display device 14 and the sound of the speaker SP are executed so as to execute various effects based on the content instructed by the command. The output content and the light emission mode of the lamp R are controlled. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a grasps the winning combination missed (non-winning) instructed by the variable game start command when the winning instruction command is not input. Further, since the sub-control CPU 41a can grasp the stop status of each reel, the sub-control CPU 41a can also grasp the missed winning combination from this stop status.

  In addition, when the state instruction command is input, the sub control CPU 41a stores (sets) sub state information indicating which gaming state is controlled in the sub control RAM 41c. The sub-control CPU 41a performs control for causing various effects each time a variable game start command is input.

  Then, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state of the effect display device 14 in accordance with the game state controlled by the main control CPU 40a. As a result, the player plays a variable game according to the effect state of the effect display device 14. In such an effect state, the game state is recognized by the player based on the type, and an effect that allows the player to play the game advantageously is performed. The production states in this embodiment are classified into a plurality of types as shown in FIG.

  Specifically, in the production state, there is an ART mode that is performed when the gaming state is a high-definition RT game. In this case, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the ART mode. This ART mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in a high-probability lottery state and an effect of assisting (assisting) the Bell winning a prize.

  Further, the effect state includes a preparation mode that is performed when the game state is a low probability RT game. In the case of the preparation mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the preparation mode. This preparation mode is a state in which a special SIN spill and an effect of assisting a bell winning are performed while the winning probability of the replay role is in a low probability lottery state.

  The effect state includes a normal mode that is performed when the game state is a low probability RT game. In the case of the normal mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the display screen for the normal mode. This normal mode is a state in which the winning probability of the replay role is in a low-probability lottery state, and the special SIN spilling and the effect of assisting the bell winning are not performed.

  The effect state includes a BN mode that is performed when the game state is BN game. In the case of the BN mode, the effect display device 14 displays an image of the BN mode display screen. This BN mode is a state in which a bell role can be won with a high probability and an effect of assisting a bell winning is performed.

  In the present embodiment, the sub control CPU 41a sets the effect flag (information) indicating the type of effect state in the sub control RAM 41c, thereby grasping the controlled effect state. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a selects the image display data for the background image corresponding to the effect flag, and controls the display content (display screen) of the effect display device 14 based on the selected image display data. To do.

Hereinafter, the control contents in each effect state will be described together with the display effects in the effect display device 14.
As a result of performing control in each effect state described below, the sub-control CPU 41a performs control so as to shift the effect state in the manner shown in FIG.

First, control related to the normal mode will be described.
When the gaming state is a low probability RT game, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the normal mode.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on winning and winning instructions of the winning combination during the normal mode (during normal mode control). During the normal mode, winning of each BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, replay role, SIN role and winning (missing) are instructed.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the BN mode when the winning of each BN combination is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a does not perform an effect that assists the correct answer in the pressing order (bell winning) when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. In other words, during the normal mode, an effect is performed so as to make it difficult to win a bell. In the normal mode, when a player wins the bell role, a bell win occurs when the player happens to push the correct answer.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a displays an effect so as not to perform an effect that assists special spilling of SIN when the winning of the SIN role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the device 14 is controlled. That is, during the normal mode, an effect is performed so as to make special SIN spilling difficult. In the normal mode, a special SIN spill occurs when the player first operates the stop button 23R for instructing to stop the right reel 13R when the SIN combination is won.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the ART entry lottery when the winning of the small role is instructed. In this ART rush lottery, random numbers are assigned to either “winning” or “non-winning” so that a predetermined winning probability (for example, the sum is 1/260) based on the winning combination instructed to win. Done. The sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the ART mode when deriving the “winning” result in the ART entry lottery, while in the ART mode when deriving the “non-winning” result in the ART entry lottery. Does not generate the right to transfer. In the ART rush lottery of the present embodiment, random numbers are distributed so that the ART first win probability calculated as “winning” calculated in consideration of the winning probability of each winning combination is approximately 1/260. .

  The random numbers used for the ART entry lottery and various lotteries described later are updated every predetermined cycle and stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Then, the sub control CPU 41a acquires random numbers used in the lottery from the sub control RAM 41c when performing various lotteries, and performs random lottery based on the acquired random numbers.

  Further, when generating the right to shift to the ART mode, the sub control CPU 41a sets [1] to the ART flag indicating the generation of the right to shift to the ART mode stored in the predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. Set. That is, when the ART flag is set to [1], the generation of the ART mode is guaranteed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a continuously holds the setting contents of the ART flag even when the mode is shifted to another mode such as the BN mode. In the following description, “with an ART flag” means that the right to shift to the ART mode is generated, that is, the ART flag is [1]. Further, “without ART flag” means that the right to enter the ART mode has not occurred, that is, the ART flag is not [1] [0 (zero)].

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a derives the result of "winning" in the ART entry lottery, and when the ART flag is present, the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to shift to the ART mode from the variable game or the variable game after a predetermined number of times. The production state is controlled so as to shift to the preparation mode for notification. In this case, the low probability RT game is continued in the game state. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to continue the normal mode when the result of “non-winning” is derived in the ART entry lottery.

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a gives a penalty that is disadvantageous to the player if the stop button 23L is not operated first in each variable game. For example, as a penalty, do not start the ART mode control when instructing a special SIN spill, do not perform an ART rush lottery, or perform an ART rush lottery, but make sure that a “non-winning” result is derived. Or In the present embodiment, the special SIN spillage is prevented from occurring when the stop button 23L is first operated. As a result, during the normal mode, the ART mode cannot be entered unless the ART mode entry right is acquired by the ART entry lottery.

Next, control related to the preparation mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a is in a low-probability RT game, and after the ART flag is present during the low-probability RT game (there may be a predetermined number of times), the sub-control CPU 41a Control state to ready mode.

  The sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning instructions during the preparation mode (during preparation mode control). In the preparation mode, winning of each BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, replay role, SIN role and winning (missing) are instructed.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the BN mode when the winning of each BN combination is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs “bell navigation effect” for assisting the correct answer in the pressing order (bell winning) when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. Thus, the display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled. That is, during the preparation mode, an effect is performed so that a bell winning is assisted. Note that during the preparation mode, when the player wins the bell role, the player wins a bell prize by following the bell navigation effect.

  The bell navigation effect is performed by the effect display device 14. In the effect display device 14, three images simulating a stop button are displayed side by side, and a number “1” is attached to one of the three images. For example, when “1” is attached in the middle of the three, the player is made aware that the stop button 23C should be operated first.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the bell navigation effect is performed in accordance with the start of the variable game when the winning of the bell role is instructed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a bell navigation effect with the content of informing the correct push order according to the type of bell combination instructed to win. For example, the sub-control CPU 41a, when instructed to win the middle correct bell role, causes the stop button 23C to perform a bell navigation effect with the content of informing the operation first.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a directs the “SIN navigation effect” to assist the special SIN spill when the winning of the SIN role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. The display content of the display device 14 is controlled. That is, during the preparation mode, an effect is performed so that special SIN spillage is assisted. In the preparation mode, a special SIN spill occurs when the player follows the SIN navigation effect when the SIN role is won.

  The SIN navigation effect is performed by the effect display device 14. The effect display device 14 displays three images imitating the stop button side by side, with “1” on the right, “2” in the middle, and “3” on the left of the three. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to display the character string. In this SIN navigation effect, the stop button 23R should be operated first, and then the stop button 23C should be operated in the order of the stop button 23L, and each stop button at the timing of the stop operation for stopping and displaying [bar] on each reel. Let the player know what should be operated.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the SIN navigation effect is performed in accordance with the start of the variable game when the winning of the SIN role is instructed. For this reason, during the preparation mode, the winning of the SIN role is actively notified by the SIN navigation effect.

  Thus, in this embodiment, since there is an ART flag, if the right to shift to the ART mode has occurred, the winning information of the SIN role and the special SIN spilling that will trigger the transition to the high probability RT game The information to be guided is notified, and the player is led to a highly reliable RT game.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the ART mode when a special SIN spill is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a highly reliable RT game.

Next, control related to the ART mode will be described.
The sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the ART mode when the game state is a high-definition RT game. Since the start of the ART mode control is triggered by a special SIN spill, it is synchronized with the start of the high-reliability RT game in the gaming state.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning combination winning and winning (missing) instructions during the ART mode (controlling the ART mode). During the ART mode, winning and winning (missing) of each BN role, cherry role, watermelon role, bell role, replay role, and SIN role are instructed.

  Specifically, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the BN mode when the winning of the BN role is instructed. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to BN gaming.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the “bell navigation effect” so that the “bell navigation effect” is performed as in the preparation mode when the winning of the bell role whose stop mode changes depending on the pressing order of the stop button among the small roles is instructed. Controls the display content of. That is, during the ART mode, the performance is performed so that the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted and the bell winning is assisted. Note that during the ART mode, when the player wins the bell role, the player wins a bell prize by following the bell navigation effect.

  During the ART mode, the gaming state may shift to a low probability RT game due to bell spilling. Also in this case, the sub-control CPU 41a continues to control the ART mode, and at the time of instructing the winning of the SIN role during the control of the ART mode, the sub-control CPU 41a performs a SIN navigation effect to achieve a highly accurate RT game in the gaming state. Assisting the return of

  Further, the sub control CPU 41a stores the remaining G number indicating the number of times of the variable game that can be performed in the ART mode in a predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. This remaining G number is also the number of times that the game can be assisted by the player by means of a bell navigation effect in the ART mode. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a continuously holds the remaining G number even when a transition is made to another mode such as the BN mode. In the following description, when the remaining G number is “0 (zero)”, the remaining G number is not set while the remaining G number is not set. Further, when the remaining G number is other than “0 (zero)” (≧ 1), the remaining G number is set while the remaining G number is being set.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a adds [50 (times)] as the remaining G number when shifting to the ART mode from when the remaining G number is not set. The sub-control CPU 41a subtracts “1” from the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c every time the start of the variable game is instructed in the ART mode. In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a counts the number of variable games that can be performed in the ART mode, that is, the number of variable games that have elapsed since the start of the ART mode, based on the variable games.

  The sub-control CPU 41a notifies the player of the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c using the effect display device 14. Thereby, the player can be made aware of the number of times that the variable game is performed in the ART mode.

  Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a shifts to the ART mode from the setting of the remaining G number, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the ART mode with the remaining G number being set. The transition from the setting of the remaining G number to the ART mode is caused by the transition (return) from the BN mode to the ART mode which is won during the ART mode.

  Then, if the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a can execute the next variable game if the ART mode continuation condition is satisfied (continuation). The effect state is controlled to continue the ART mode. On the other hand, if the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)”, the sub-control CPU 41a determines the next fluctuation if the ART mode continuation condition is not satisfied (non-continuation). The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so that a high-assist RT effect for notifying the end of the ART mode from the game is provided.

  In the present embodiment, the sub-control CPU 41a determines a continuation rate indicating a rate (probability) at which the continuation used in the ART continuous lottery of the ART mode after the transition is achieved when generating the right to transition to the ART mode.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs the ART continuous lottery when the start of the variable game in which the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c is “0 (zero)” is instructed during the ART mode. This ART continuous lottery is performed by assigning random numbers to either [continue] or [non-continue] so that the continuation rate determined when the right to transition to the ART mode is generated. The sub-control CPU 41a grasps the continuation rate used in the ART continuous lottery from information (flag or the like) indicating the continuation rate stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a generates the right to continue the ART mode when deriving the result of [continuation (winning)] in the ART continuous lottery. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a does not generate the right to continue the ART mode when deriving the result of [non-continuation (non-winning)] in the ART continuous lottery.

  Then, when deriving [continuation] in the ART continuous lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a again adds [50 (times)] as the remaining G number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c as the continuation condition is satisfied (re-addition). And the production state is controlled so as to continue the ART mode.

  On the other hand, when the CPU 41a for sub-control derives [non-continuation] in the ART continuous lottery, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the high-precision RT effect is performed as the continuation condition is not satisfied. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a starts the high-accuracy RT effect and then performs the high-accuracy RT effect until the occurrence of bell spillage. The sub-control CPU 41a sets [0 (zero)] to the ART flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c in accordance with the highly accurate RT effect.

  During such a high-definition RT effect, the sub-control CPU 41a is not setting the remaining G number, so that the display content of the effect display device 14 is not performed so that the bell navigation effect is not performed even if the bell role is won. To control. That is, during the high-precision RT production, the production is performed so that it is difficult to avoid the bell spill and the bell winning is difficult. In addition, during high-definition RT production, bell spillage is avoided in a scene where the player happens to push in the correct order when he wins the bell role, and a bell win occurs. Thereafter, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the normal mode in response to a bell spill during the high-definition RT effect. In accordance with this, the gaming state has shifted to a low probability RT game.

  In this embodiment, the ART mode is controlled by dividing a variable game corresponding to the remaining G number (grant number) into unit periods with one set. Further, depending on the establishment of the ART mode continuation condition, the control is again made to the ART mode for one set after the passage (digestion) of the ART mode for one set. Further, when the ART mode continuation condition is not established, the ART mode control is terminated with the progress (digestion) of one set of ART mode as an end condition. Therefore, in this embodiment, the continuation (loop) of the ART mode, that is, the extension is realized by the establishment of the continuation condition of the ART mode.

Next, the contents of control in the BN mode will be described.
When the gaming state is a BN game, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state to the BN mode. Note that the start of the control in the BN mode is synchronized with the start of the BN game in the gaming state because it is triggered by the winning of each BN role (BN winning).

  The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to notify the number corresponding to the BN payout number managed by the main control CPU 40a during the BN mode. The sub-control CPU 41a can grasp the number corresponding to the BN payout number based on the winning result instructed by various commands.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a performs processing based on the winning and winning instructions of the winning combination during the BN mode (during BN mode control). During the BN mode, the winning of a bell role and winning are mainly instructed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the “bell navigation effect” is performed in the same manner as in the ART mode when the winning of the bell role is instructed. That is, during the BN mode, an effect is performed so as to assist mainly in winning the winning of a bell. In the BN mode, when a player wins a bell role, a player wins a bell winning by following the bell navigation effect.

  In addition, when the end of the BN game is instructed, the sub control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift from the next variable game to the normal mode or the preparation mode based on the setting state of the ART flag. In this case, the gaming state is shifted to the low probability RT game.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the normal mode if there is no ART flag when the BN mode ends (BN end). On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the effect state so as to shift to the preparation mode if the ART flag is present when the BN mode ends (BN end). During the preparation mode for shifting in this way, since the sub-control CPU 41a has an ART flag, it has acquired the right to shift to the ART mode, so that a highly reliable RT game, that is, the ART mode is entered. It will guide the player.

  In the present embodiment configured as described above, during the ART mode, not only the gaming state is a high-definition RT game but also an effect (bell navigation effect) for the player to play a game advantageously in a variable game is performed. State. As a result, in the ART mode, the number of scenes where the player holds (injects) medals is reduced, and the avoidance of bell spillage is assisted, and the acquisition of award medals based on the bell winning is assisted. Therefore, during the ART mode, the player is in an advantageous state, that is, an advantageous gaming state.

  In addition, during the normal mode, it is possible to obtain a chance to lead to a high-definition RT game through the ART rush lottery. However, an effect for the player to play the game advantageously in the variable game (bell navigation effect or SIN This is a state in which no navigation effect is performed. Thereby, in the normal mode, special spilling and bell winning are not assisted. For this reason, during the normal mode, the player cannot be brought into an advantageous state for the player.

  Further, during the preparation mode, while the gaming state is a low-probability RT game, an effect (bell navigation effect or SIN navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously is performed. As a result, in the preparation mode, special SIN spilling, that is, the transition to the high-accuracy RT game is assisted, and the acquisition of the prize medal based on the bell winning is assisted. For this reason, during the preparation mode, the player is at least more advantageous than the normal mode. Further, during the preparation mode, the player can be guided to a state advantageous to the player.

  Note that during high-definition RT production, there is no production for the player to play the game (Bell Navi production), but since the gaming state is high-definition RT game, at least for the player compared to the normal mode This is an advantageous state.

  Further, during the BN mode, the game state is BN game, and an effect (bell navigation effect) for the player to play the game advantageously is performed. Thereby, in the BN mode, a prize medal winning based on a bell winning is assisted. For this reason, during the BN mode, the player is in an advantageous state, that is, an advantageous gaming state in which the player can continuously obtain award medals based on the winning of the bell role.

  In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a that performs control related to the BN mode related to the BN game in the advantageous gaming state or the ART mode related to the high-probability RT game functions as the game control means. In the present embodiment, the main control CPU 40a that performs control related to the transition of the BN game and the high-probability RT game can also function as the game control means.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a is provided on the condition that after the power is turned on or after the end of the variation game, a state in which the start of the variation game is not instructed, that is, a standby state in which a command related to the start of the variation game is not input continues for a predetermined period. Various devices such as the effect display device 14 are controlled so that a demonstration effect (hereinafter referred to as “demonstration effect”) is performed. The demonstration effect is an effect for notifying that the pachi-slot 10 is in a standby state (demo state) using a device such as the effect display device 14 and obtaining a customer effect. Then, the sub-control CPU 41a is set to be valid so as to be able to accept the input of the operation of the switching / input button BT during the standby state, and performs processing based on the operation of the switching / input button BT.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10A, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to switch to the “menu screen” when the operation signal of the display switching button BT1 is input during the standby state. To do. The “menu screen” displays four types of “history totaling mode”, “password input”, “two-dimensional code issuance”, and “end”. In the present embodiment, the “history totaling mode” is a menu for setting the start of game history totaling, and enables game history totaling without requiring input of a password based on a registration act. “Password input” is a menu for inputting a password issued from the server 100, and sets the start of game history aggregation. “Issue two-dimensional code” is a menu for issuing a two-dimensional code NC. “End” is a menu for ending the menu screen. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to switch to the display content of the variable game with the start of the variable game during the display of the menu screen and various menus to be described later.

  Then, when the operation signal of the input button BT2 is input during display of the menu screen, the sub control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to switch the position of the cursor K indicating the menu to be selected. The sub-control CPU 41a switches the position of the cursor K for each operation of the input button BT2 while the menu screen is displayed. Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs an operation signal of the confirm button BT3 while the menu screen is displayed, the sub-control CPU 41a confirms the selection of the menu indicated by the cursor K and performs corresponding processing.

  That is, when the selection of the history totaling mode is confirmed, the sub control CPU 41a sets [1] to the history totaling mode flag indicating that the game history is being stored in the predetermined storage area of the sub control RAM 41c. . The sub-control CPU 41a sets [1] to the history count mode flag during the game history count. The sub-control CPU 41a sets [0 (zero)] to the history count mode flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c when the game history count ends.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to switch to the “password input screen” when the selection of the password input menu is confirmed. Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs an operation signal of the input button BT2 while the password input screen is being displayed, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to input a password based on the operation. Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs the operation signal of the confirmation button BT3, the sub-control CPU 41a accepts the input password and sets information related to the game history so far based on the password. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a sets [1] to the history tabulation mode flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c when the password is accepted. As a result, the sub-control CPU 41a can continuously add up the game history after the password is accepted to the game history based on the password. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to return to the “menu screen” when an operation signal of the display switching button BT1 is input during display of the password input screen.

  As shown in FIG. 10C, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to switch to the “two-dimensional code issue screen” when confirming the two-dimensional code issue. The “two-dimensional code issuance screen” displays two types, “save two-dimensional code issuance” and “public two-dimensional code issuance”. In this embodiment, “save two-dimensional code issuance” is a menu for ending a game and saving (acquiring) a game history. “Publish two-dimensional code issuance” is a menu for saving (acquiring) a game history while continuing the game.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the position of the cursor K indicating the menu to be selected is switched when the operation signal of the input button BT2 is input during the display of the two-dimensional code issue screen. . The sub-control CPU 41a switches the position of the cursor K for each operation of the input button BT2 while the two-dimensional code issue screen is displayed. In addition, when the sub-control CPU 41a inputs an operation signal of the confirm button BT3 while the two-dimensional code issuance screen is displayed, the sub-control CPU 41a confirms the selection of the menu indicated by the cursor K and performs corresponding processing. The sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so as to return to the “menu screen” when an operation signal of the display switching button BT1 is input during display of the two-dimensional code issue screen.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a generates (creates) the two-dimensional code NC based on the game history information stored in the predetermined storage area of the sub-control RAM 41c when confirming the selection of the two-dimensional code for storage. And the process for issuing in the effect display apparatus 14 is performed. Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a determines the selection of the public two-dimensional code issuance, the sub-control CPU 41a generates (creates) the two-dimensional code NC based on the game history information stored in the predetermined storage area of the sub-control RAM 41c. And the process for issuing in the effect display apparatus 14 is performed. The sub-control CPU 41a generates each two-dimensional code NC including address information (such as the address of the individual area and the address of the content site CS) necessary for transmitting each game history to the server 100.

  Further, each two-dimensional code NC issued in this way is read by the player's portable terminal CM, and as a result, the address is displayed on the display unit CH of the portable terminal CM. When this address is designated by the mobile terminal CM, each game history recorded in each two-dimensional code NC is transmitted to the server 100. The game history recorded in the storage two-dimensional code NC is recorded in an individual area of the server 100, and the game history recorded in the public two-dimensional code NC is stored in the content site CS managed by the server 100. Will be released.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 10D, as a result of connecting to the server 100 based on each two-dimensional code NC, a “content menu screen” is displayed on the display unit CH of the mobile terminal CM. In the “content menu screen”, a plurality of types such as “password display”, “game history display”, and “history release square” are displayed. In the present embodiment, “display password” is a menu for acquiring a password to be input to the pachislot 10, and allows the game history being stored in the server 100 to be taken over. The “game history display” is a menu for browsing the game history stored in the server 100. The “history release plaza” is a menu for browsing the public information indicating the game history of each player received by the server 100, and allows the public information released by each player to be browsed.

Next, a game history totaling method according to this embodiment will be described.
In the present embodiment, counting of the game history is started when the history count mode is set in the pachi-slot 10 or the password is input to the pachi-slot 10. Further, in the present embodiment, the collection of the game history is terminated when the pachislot 10 issues the storage two-dimensional code NC.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a sets a total period from the start to the end of the total of the game history during the total of the game history, and the information related to the variable game executed during the total period of the total game history. As

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a stores information indicating the cumulative game number indicating the number of executed variable games and the number of wins indicating the number of winning BN winnings in the sub-control RAM 41c while counting the game history. Each is set and stored in a predetermined storage area. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a adds “1” to the cumulative number of games stored in the sub-control RAM 41c for each instruction to start a variable game while the game history is being counted. The sub-control CPU 41a adds “1” to the number of winnings stored in the sub-control RAM 41c for each instruction to start the BN game. In the present embodiment, the cumulative number of games and the number of winnings are totaled as the entire game history.

  Further, the sub-control CPU 41a sets the ART mode or the BN mode (hereinafter referred to as “ART / BN mode”) during the game history counting as a specific counting period, and information related to the variable game executed during this period. The total game period is totaled as the period game history of the specific total period.

  That is, the sub-control CPU 41a consumes or acquires the continuation game number indicating the number of variable games continuously executed during the ART / BN mode, and the player's medal consumption or acquisition during the calculation of the game history in the specific counting period. Information indicating the increase / decrease number of medals and the maximum acquisition number indicating the maximum number are set in a predetermined storage area of the sub-control RAM 41c and totaled. The number of continuous games, the number of acquisitions, and the maximum number of acquisitions are counted separately from the number of accumulated games and the number of winnings.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a adds “1” to the number of continuing games stored in the sub-control RAM 41c for each instruction to start the variable game in the ART mode during the game history total during the specific total period. . Further, the sub-control CPU 41a calculates the number of acquisitions stored in the sub-control RAM 41c by the number of bets for each instruction to start a variable game in the ART / BN mode while the game history is totaled during the specific count period. Subtract "3". Further, the sub-control CPU 41a gives the number of acquisitions stored in the sub-control RAM 41c for each winning instruction accompanied by award medals in the ART / BN mode while the game history is totaled during the specific counting period. The award medal will be added. The sub-control CPU 41a grasps the number of award medals to be awarded based on a winning result such as a winning instruction command. Further, when the sub-control CPU 41a is larger than the maximum acquisition number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c as a result of the addition of the acquisition number, the sub-control CPU 41a updates the maximum acquisition number to the acquisition number after addition. On the other hand, when the sub-control CPU 41a does not become larger than the maximum acquisition number stored in the sub-control RAM 41c as a result of the addition of the acquisition numbers, the sub-control CPU 41a holds the maximum acquisition number. In this embodiment, the number of continuous games, the number of acquisitions, and the maximum number of acquisitions are tabulated as a period game history.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a receives the issuance of the storage two-dimensional code NC during the calculation of the game history, and the cumulative number of games, the number of winnings, the number of continuous games, etc. related to the game history stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. The number of acquisitions and the maximum number of acquisitions, that is, the entire game history and the period game history are cleared, and the aggregation of these game histories can be newly executed. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a sets [0 (zero)] to the history count mode flag stored in the sub-control RAM 41c, and finishes the game history count.

  In addition, the sub-control CPU 41a receives the number of continuous games, the number of acquisitions, the maximum number of acquisitions stored in the sub-control RAM 41c when the game history is being counted, and the transition to the ART / BN mode via the normal mode is triggered. That is, the period game history is cleared. In other words, the sub-control CPU 41a newly allows the period game history to be totalized during the ART / BN mode. Note that the sub-control CPU 41a, during counting of the game history, if the status of transition to the ART / BN mode via the normal mode is a pullback status, which will be described later, during the ART / BN mode, Enables aggregation to continue.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 11 (a), the sub-control CPU 41a sets the period game as a specific counting period in which the period from the transition to the ART / BN mode through the normal mode to the transition to the normal mode is one set. Aggregate history. Since the sub-control CPU 41a totals the period game history during the ART / BN mode, the transition from the ART / BN mode via the normal mode to the end of the ART / BN mode leading to the normal mode is specified. It can also be said to be a counting period.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11B, the sub-control CPU 41a performs ART / BN passing through the normal mode in a situation exceeding “50 times” (normal mode> 50 times) since the most recent transition to the normal mode. When the transition to the mode is repeated, the period game history can be newly counted. In more detail, the trigger for the transition to the ART / BN mode, that is, the winning of the ART entry lottery or the winning of the BN role occurs more than “50 times (predetermined number)” from the transition to the most recent normal mode. This means a situation, and in the following explanation, this situation is referred to as a “non-retraction situation”.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), if the transition to the ART / BN mode via the normal mode is repeated three times in the situation exceeding the “50 times” from the transition to the most recent normal mode, each ART The period game history is totaled in the / BN mode, and the period game history for three sets is totaled.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 11C, the sub-control CPU 41a performs ART / BN passing through the normal mode in a situation within “50 times” (normal mode ≦ 50 times) since the most recent transition to the normal mode. When the transition to the mode is repeated, the period game history is totaled with the specific total period before and after the normal mode as one total period. In detail, the situation where the transition to the ART / BN mode, that is, the winning of the ART entry lottery or the winning of the BN role occurs within “50 times (predetermined number)” from the transition to the most recent normal mode. This situation is referred to as the “retraction situation” in the following description.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 11 (c), when the transition to the ART / BN mode via the normal mode is repeated three times, one specific counting period before and after the normal mode even after passing through the normal mode. The period game history is totaled as follows. In the present embodiment, in the pull back situation, only the total result of the period game history is taken over between the ART / BN modes before and after the normal mode. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in order to take over the period game history between the ART / BN modes before and after the normal mode in the pullback situation, it is possible to perform aggregation in the normal mode as well as in the ART / BN mode. .

  In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a, after the transition to the normal mode, “50 times after the transition to the normal mode, so that the period game history can be continuously counted even after the transition to the normal mode from the start of the summation of the period game history. The game history for the period is temporarily held during the variable game. While holding the game history for this period, the game history for the held period is taken over when triggered by the transition to the ART / BN mode. For this reason, in this embodiment, after the shift to the normal mode, at least “50 times” of the variable game is also set as the specific counting period.

  Then, the sub-control CPU 41a finishes summing up the period game history in a state where it is not a pull-back, clears the held period game history, and enters a state in which the period game history can be newly summed up in this specific count period. To do. At the same time, the sub-control CPU 41a records information indicating the number of continued games and the maximum number acquired in the predetermined storage area of the sub-control RAM 41c as the total result of the period game history held until the end of the total period game history ( Setting). Note that the total results of such period game histories are individually recorded (set) for each set of specific total periods in a predetermined storage area of the sub-control RAM 41c. That is, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), when the situation of non-retraction is repeated three times, the total is performed for each specific total period, and the total results of the period game history for three sets are recorded.

  On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a continues to count the period game history in a situation of being pulled back, so that the held period game history can be continuously counted. That is, as shown in FIG. 11 (c), when the situation to be pulled back is repeated twice, the total in the specific total period is continuously performed, and the total result of the game history for one set is obtained. .

  In such an embodiment, during the ART / BN mode in which the period game histories are tabulated, not only the number of acquisitions changes to the best situation, but also the best situation may change to a bad situation. Situation ups and downs occur. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the final acquisition number is not recorded as the total result of the period game history, but the maximum acquisition number that is the maximum (best situation) throughout the specific total period is recorded. In other words, this embodiment adopts a configuration capable of recording the game history (number of acquisitions) in the previous good situation even if the very good situation has changed to a bad situation during the aggregation of the period game history. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (d), when the sub-control CPU 41a accepts the setting of the history totaling mode and the input of the password from the middle of the ART / BN mode, the middle of the sub-control CPU 41a is the start of the totaling of the period game history. The In this case, the number of continuous games, the number of acquisitions, and the maximum number of acquisitions are information from the start of totaling the period game history, and the game history before the start of the totaling is not considered.

  In this way, the sub-control CPU 41a that totals the game history generates the two-dimensional code NC using information related to the game history predetermined for each situation, and the generated two-dimensional code NC is predetermined for each situation. The display content of the effect display device 14 is controlled so as to be issued at the timing. In the following description, the end of the ART / BN mode means a case where the continuation condition is not satisfied (non-continuation) with respect to the ART mode.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the sub-control CPU 41a uses the information related to the period game history being counted at the first issue timing triggered by the end of the ART / BN mode. A code NC is generated. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a can issue the public two-dimensional code NC without requiring the player's operation or the like at the first issue timing, and the effect display device 14 so as to issue the public two-dimensional code NC. Controls the display content of. Note that even if the public two-dimensional code NC is issued at the first issue timing, each game history is not cleared and held.

  At the first issuance timing, the public two-dimensional code NC is generated using information related to the period game history that has been aggregated in the most recent specific aggregation period. Note that the information relating to the entire game history is not used for generating the public two-dimensional code NC issued at the first issue timing.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the sub-control CPU 41a confirms the issuance of the two-dimensional code from the menu screen, and further triggers the confirmation of the menu for issuance of the two-dimensional code for publishing from the two-dimensional code issuance screen. At the issuance timing, a public two-dimensional code NC is generated using information relating to the period game history stored in the sub-control RAM 41c. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that a menu for issuing a public two-dimensional code can be selected in the ART / BN mode in which the period game history is being counted. On the other hand, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display content of the effect display device 14 so that the menu for issuing the public two-dimensional code cannot be selected when not in the ART / BN mode in which the period game history is being counted. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a issues the public two-dimensional code NC only during the ART / BN mode in which the period game history is being counted.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, the transition to the increase (plus) in the number of acquisitions occupies the majority, and the two-dimensional code for disclosure only in the ART / BN mode in which the transition to the decrease in the number of acquisitions (minus) is rare. By issuing NC, saving (acquisition) of game history that reduces the number of acquisitions is avoided. Note that even if the public two-dimensional code NC is issued at the second issue timing, each game history is not cleared and held.

  At the second issuance timing, the public two-dimensional code NC is generated using information related to the period game history that has been aggregated in the most recent specific aggregation period. Note that the information related to the entire game history is not used for generating the public two-dimensional code NC issued at the second issue timing.

  Then, the period game histories at the first and second issue timings are tabulated as shown in FIG. That is, at the first issuance timing, during the period game history aggregation, every time the ART / BN mode ends, for publication using the aggregation result from the start of the period game history aggregation to the end point of the ART / BN mode. A two-dimensional code NC is generated and issued. As a result, at the first issue timing, the number of continued games and the maximum number of acquisitions from the start of totaling of the period game history to the end of the ART / BN mode can be acquired by the player through the public two-dimensional code NC.

  In addition, at the second issuance timing, during the aggregation of the period game history, the publication two-dimensional code issuance, which is an information requesting operation for requesting the player to obtain the two-dimensional code NC for public use, is triggered. A public two-dimensional code NC is generated and issued using the totaling results from the start of the period game history totaling to the point of time when the public two-dimensional code issuance is selected. As a result, at the second issuance timing, the number of continuous games and the maximum number of acquisitions from the start of counting of the period game history to the selection of the issuance of the two-dimensional code for public release can be acquired by the player through the two-dimensional code NC for public use .

  Also, as shown in FIG. 12, the sub-control CPU 41a confirms the issuance of the two-dimensional code from the menu screen, and further triggers the confirmation of the menu for issuing the two-dimensional code for storage from the two-dimensional code issuance screen. At the issuance timing, the storage two-dimensional code NC is generated using the information related to the entire game history and the period game history stored in the sub control RAM 41c. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a controls the display contents of the effect display device 14 so that the menu for issuing the saving two-dimensional code can be selected regardless of the situation if the game history is being counted. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a issues the storage two-dimensional code NC regardless of the situation if the game history is being counted. Each game history is cleared by issuing the storage two-dimensional code NC at the third issue timing.

  At the third issue timing, the storage two-dimensional code NC is generated by using the total game history and the information related to the period game history that have been totaled through the total period of the game history. In addition, when a plurality of sets of period game histories are recorded from the start to the end of game history counting, the results of comparing the period game histories of each set are related to the period game history determined to be the best recorded situation. Information is used.

  Then, the period game history at the third issue timing is tabulated as shown in FIG. That is, at the third issuance timing, the game two-dimensional code issuance is selected as a whole information requesting operation for the player to request the acquisition of the two-dimensional storage code NC while the game history is being aggregated. A two-dimensional code NC for storage is generated and issued using the total results of the entire game history and the period game history from the start of history totaling to the selection point of issuing the two-dimensional code for storage. Also, at the third issue timing, when a plurality of sets of period game histories are recorded from the start to the end of the game history aggregation, the maximum acquisition number is obtained as a result of comparing the maximum number of period game histories acquired for each set. A storage two-dimensional code NC is generated and issued using the total results of the period game histories in the best number of situations.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 13 (b), the total result [number of continuous games, maximum number of acquisitions] is [250 times, 500] first period game history and [300 times, 400] When the period game history of 2 and the third period game history of [300 times, 450] are obtained, [250 times, 500] is used in generating the storage two-dimensional code NC. Become.

  For this reason, in the situation shown in FIG. 13B, the sub-control CPU 41a compares the respective maximum acquisition numbers among the period game histories of each set. In this comparison, the sub-control CPU 41a determines superiority or inferiority due to the small number of maximum acquisitions of the period game history of each set. That is, the sub-control CPU 41a does not consider the number of continued games when comparing the total results of the respective period game histories. Therefore, when comparing the superiority of the first period game history and the second period game history, The aggregation result of the first period game history having a small number of games but a large maximum number of acquisitions is dominant. Similarly, when comparing the superiority of the first period game history and the third period game history, the sub-control CPU 41a predominates the total result of the first period game history with a small number of continuous games but a large maximum number of acquisitions. And Also, for example, if the sub-control CPU 41a compares the second period game history with the third period game history, the sub-control CPU 41a counts the third period game history with the same number of continued games but a large maximum number of acquisitions. Dominate. As a result, at the third issuance timing, the most dominant maximum acquisition number based on the maximum acquisition number from the start to the end of the game history counting and the number of continuing games according to the maximum acquisition number (here, the first Game history) can be acquired by the player through the storage two-dimensional code NC.

  The sub-control CPU 41a that totals the game history including the entire game history in this way functions as a history totaling unit and an entire history totaling unit. In response to accepting the selection of the two-dimensional code for publishing or the two-dimensional code for storing, the sub-control CPU 41a that generates the two-dimensional code NC based on various tabulation results receives the information request accepting means, the entire information request Functions as receiving means and code generating means. Further, the sub-control CPU 41a that performs control for causing the player to output the generated two-dimensional code NC so as to be obtainable functions as a code output control means.

  When the server 100 receives information related to the game history based on each two-dimensional code NC issued by the pachislot 10, the server 100 performs processing according to the information. That is, when the server 100 receives the information related to the period game history based on the two-dimensional code NC for disclosure, the server 100 generates (creates) public information regarding the registered name, the number of continued games, and the maximum number of acquisitions from the information, and the content site CS Process to reflect the display contents of. Further, the server 100 performs processing for reflecting the display information of the content site CS so as to add the public information in the order in which the public information is generated (information is received). This reflection result can be browsed by connecting to the content site CS from the mobile terminal CM.

  Specifically, the server 100 displays the public information of each player on the display unit CH of the mobile terminal CM in time series with a very short sentence (so-called “tweet”) together with the registered name (so-called “tweet”). , “Timeline”). Note that the server 100 performs processing so that the public information of each player is displayed in chronological order from the bottom of the display unit CH on the display unit CH of the mobile terminal CM. Further, when adding public information, the server 100 performs processing so as to be added to the top layer of the public information displayed on the display unit CH of the mobile terminal CM. In addition, when adding public information, the server 100 performs processing so that existing public information is shifted and displayed one layer at a time.

  Note that the server 100 causes a display of a predetermined registration name (for example, “guest”) to the public information of a player who has not been registered. Further, when adding the public information of the same player (registered name), the server 100 updates only the latest public information in time series (updates the latest in the timeline). In other words, the simultaneous release of a plurality of public information by the same player (registered name) is prevented.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 14A, the public information with various registered names of each player is displayed in time series on the display unit CH of the mobile terminal CM. In the public information, the contents of the number of continuing games are disclosed by the character string of [Continuous ...], and the contents of the maximum number of acquisitions are disclosed by the character string of [Acquisition ...]. Thereby, the player can browse the public information released by each player in time series. Further, as shown in FIG. 14B, in the display unit CH of the mobile terminal CM, when the public information of the player “XYZ (registered name)” is added, it is added to the uppermost layer.

  Further, when adding public information, the server 100 performs processing so that a public information update history (so-called “activity”) indicating that fact is distributed (displayed). That is, the content site CS provided in the present embodiment has a function (so-called “activity field”) that can display and distribute the update history of public information on the player's mobile terminal CM. In this case, the update history distributed to the display unit CH of the mobile terminal CM is simply the addition of public information or the addition of public information by the player (registered name) of interest, or the setting according to the request Is also possible.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 14C, the update history information AF relating to the release of the public information is distributed on the display unit CH of the mobile terminal CM while the content menu screen is displayed. Thereby, the player can grasp the state of disclosure of the public information and can consider whether or not to browse the history public square.

  In the present embodiment configured as described above, the release two-dimensional code NC can be acquired by the player when the two-dimensional code issuance screen is confirmed (selected). As a result, even if the player goes through a good situation in the game and falls into a bad situation, he / she chooses to issue a public two-dimensional code so that the game history of the period accumulated in the most recent specific aggregation period can be selected. At least the total result can be acquired.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the public two-dimensional code NC can be acquired by the player at a game milestone such as the end of the ART mode or the BN mode without selecting the public two-dimensional code issuance. As a result, if a player goes through a good situation in a game and falls into a bad situation, even if he / she does not choose to issue a public two-dimensional code, It becomes possible to acquire at least a game history for a certain period.

  In the present embodiment, the period game history acquired by the player by selecting to issue the public two-dimensional code is acquired via the mobile terminal CM and transmitted to the server 100. As a result, the other mobile terminal CM It can be browsed as public information by accessing from. As a result, even after the good situation in the game has passed and the game situation has fallen into a bad situation, the player is in a good situation that does not include the process of having fallen into such a bad situation. The game history during the game can be disclosed as public information to other mobile terminal CM users (players).

  In the present embodiment, the game history that is most advantageous throughout the total period of the game history in accordance with the acquisition (total selection) of the two-dimensional code for saving from the two-dimensional code issuance screen. Can be acquired by the player through the storage two-dimensional code NC. As a result, even if the player goes through a good situation in the game and falls into a bad situation, the player can select the issuance of the two-dimensional code for storage, so that the most It becomes possible to acquire at least the total result of the game history of the superior period.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, public information is disclosed by adding public information based on the information in time series by the server 100 every time information related to the period game history is transmitted to the server 100. As a result, a player can realize disclosure to other players by transmitting information related to his / her own period game history to the server 100.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when public information is added, the addition status can be distributed to the mobile terminal CM. As a result, when a player transmits information related to his / her game history to the server 100 and can be disclosed to other players, such a situation is also distributed to other players through the mobile terminal CM. Become so.

  In addition, in a gaming system in which a player can disclose information related to his / her own gaming history to other players as in this embodiment, not only a good situation during the game is left, but the whole The game history can also be accumulated and saved. As a result, not only the good situation but also the ups and downs during the game can be added to effectively meet the player's desire to add up the entire game history.

Therefore, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) With regard to the period game history, a two-dimensional code NC is generated based on the period game history of the most recent specific counting period upon confirmation of the menu for issuing a public two-dimensional code, and the player obtains the code. As a result of enabling output, the game history can be acquired by the player. As a result, even if the player has gone through a good situation in the game and falls into a bad situation, the player can select the menu for issuing a two-dimensional code for public release, so that the game history (this In the embodiment, it becomes possible to obtain at least a good situation). In other words, even after the good situation of the game has passed and the situation of the game has fallen into a bad situation, the game history during the game that is in a good situation that does not include the process of having fallen into such a bad situation is effective Can be left behind.

  (2) Periodic game history is totaled not only during the ART mode or BN mode but also after the start of the normal mode controlled after the end of these modes until the “50 times” variable game is played. It was set as the structure performed as a period. Thereby, even when a plurality of sets of ART mode or BN mode are started across the normal mode, the period game history can be totaled as one specific total period. As a result, it is possible to realize a configuration in which a game history can be easily created during a good situation in the game.

  (3) The period game history acquired by the player by selecting the menu for issuing the public two-dimensional code is acquired via the mobile terminal CM and transmitted to the server 100. Such a period game history transmitted to the server 100 can be browsed by access from other mobile terminals CM. As a result, even after the good situation in the game has passed and the game situation has fallen into a bad situation, the player is in a good situation that does not include the process of having fallen into such a bad situation. The game history during the game can be disclosed to other players. That is, it is possible to effectively fulfill the desire that the player wants other players to know the game history of his / her good situation.

  (4) A game system in which a player can make his / her game history available to other players is used because there is a desire to have other players know his / her game history. It will be. By the way, in such a gaming system, there is also a specification in which a certain standard is added to the gaming history to add superiority or inferiority (ranking etc.), and only a specific gaming history based on the superiority or inferiority is disclosed to other players. It is done. However, in such a gaming system in which only a specific game history is disclosed to other players, the hope that the player knows his / her game history to other players is realized. It ’s hard to say. For this reason, there is a possibility that the player may be reluctant to use the game system that can open the game history to other players. Therefore, regarding the release of the game history, every time a game history (in this embodiment, a period game history) is transmitted to the server 100, public information indicating the transmitted game history is added in time series by the server 100, The configuration is open to the public. As a result, the player can realize disclosure to other players by transmitting his game history to the server 100. In other words, it is possible to effectively fulfill the desire that the player wants other players to know his / her gaming history, and to actively encourage the player to use such a gaming system. it can.

  (5) When public information is added, the addition status can be distributed to the mobile terminal CM. As a result, when the player transmits his / her game history to the server 100 and can be disclosed to other players, such a situation is also distributed to the other players through the mobile terminal. The player's desire to publish the history can be fulfilled effectively. As a result, it is possible to contribute to the improvement of the player's aggressiveness to use such a game system.

  (6) In a gaming system in which a player can open his / her game history to other players, not only leave a good situation during the game, but also accumulate the entire game history throughout. It was set as the structure which can do. As a result, not only the good situation but also the ups and downs during the game can be added to effectively meet the player's desire to add up the game history. As a result, it is possible to realize a gaming system that can respond to various players' wishes.

  (7) When public information of the same player (registered name) is added, the information is updated so as to leave only the latest public information in time series. This prevents the disclosure of a plurality of public information by the same player (registered name), and prevents the occurrence of a situation in which the public information of other players is prevented from being disclosed.

  (8) Regarding the period game history, as a result of comparing the superiority and inferiority of the period game history that was aggregated in the specific aggregation period prior to the confirmation (operation) of issuing the storage two-dimensional code, the most advantageous period game history As a result of generating the storage two-dimensional code NC based on the above and outputting the code so that the player can obtain it, the player can obtain information on the game history. As a result, even if the player goes through a good situation in the game and falls into a bad situation, the player has the most advantage of being counted in the specific counting period before that by issuing the storage two-dimensional code. At least the period game history can be acquired. In other words, even after the good situation of the game has passed and the situation of the game has fallen into a bad situation, the game history during the game that is in a good situation that does not include the process of having fallen into such a bad situation is effective Can be left behind.

  (9) The entire game history throughout the entire game can be retained, and when the player finishes the game by obtaining such an entire game history, the most advantageous period of games counted during the counting period It was set as the structure which can leave a history. As a result, when the player finishes the game, at the time of obtaining the entire game history, it is possible to leave the game history having the most advantageous period among the totals during the total period. In other words, when the entire game history is acquired such that the player finishes the game, the game history during the game that was in a good state regardless of the situation at that time can be effectively left.

In addition, you may change the said embodiment as follows.
In the present embodiment, as long as public information can be disclosed on the content site CS based on the period game history, it is not necessary to have a function of storing the entire game history.

In this embodiment, in addition to the cumulative number of games and the number of winnings as the overall game history, the winning probability of the BN role, the winning probability for each small role, and the like may be stored (managed).
-In this embodiment, as a method of disclosing public information to other players, a method of directly distributing to other players (mobile terminal CM) instead of using the content site CS can be adopted. . In this case, a method for managing software (so-called “application”) for managing public information in the mobile terminal CM in advance and managing the public information on the software may be considered.

In the present embodiment, the cumulative number of games in the entire game history, the winning rate of the BN role based on the cumulative number of games, and the like may be disclosed on the content site CS.
-Regarding the update history of public information of this embodiment, it is only necessary to be able to distribute the addition of public information. For example, by changing or blinking the text color of "history public square" on the content menu screen, You can also let them know.

  -In this embodiment, it is not necessary to have the function to distribute an update history. In this case, public information can be browsed without distributing the update history. For example, the public information can already be disclosed on the content menu screen.

  -The public information in this embodiment may be displayed in any number of time series even if it is public information of the same player (registered name). Moreover, the addition aspect of public information can also be performed at random. However, in order to respect the player's desire to publish the game history, it is preferable that the public information is disclosed once by some method.

  -This embodiment is good also as a game system completed without using the server 100. FIG. For example, as a result of reading the two-dimensional code NC with the mobile terminal CM, a game history such as [continue ...] or [acquisition ...] may be displayed on the display unit CH of the mobile terminal CM. That is, it is only necessary that at least the game history can be stored in the mobile terminal CM of the player although the game history is not disclosed. Even with such a configuration, the player can have a confident game history stored in the mobile terminal CM so that the game history can be shared between the players and enjoyed.

  -The game system of this embodiment can also be constructed without using the mobile terminal CM, the server 100, or the like. In other words, a game system may be used in which a pachislot machine 10 issues a password that records a game history or the like instead of the two-dimensional code NC, and the game history is confirmed by inputting the password to the pachislot machine 10.

The present embodiment may be realized by a gaming system that does not have a function until the release by only storing the game history in the server 100.
-In this embodiment, it is good also as a structure which does not consider the state of withdrawal, etc., complete | finishing totaling of a period game log | history from the transition from ART / BN mode to normal mode.

  -In this embodiment, even if it is not in ART / BN mode, it may be made possible to select publication of a two-dimensional code for publication. In this case, the two-dimensional code NC may be issued on the basis of the period game history in the latest ART / BN mode, triggered by the selection of the public two-dimensional code issuance when not in the ART / BN mode. Thereby, it is possible to effectively relieve a player who forgets to acquire the public two-dimensional code NC during the ART / BN mode or does not acquire it but wants to acquire it again.

In the disclosure of the public information of the present embodiment, only the contents indicating the registered name and game history can be disclosed without accompanying a short sentence (so-called “tweet”).
The disclosure of the public information according to the present embodiment can make it possible to grasp which is the latest public information from the frame to be displayed, the size and color of characters, and the like. Also, the disclosure of the public information does not need to be uniform for the frame to be displayed, the size and color of the characters, and can be different for each public information. Such a difference in the characters of the frame may be associated with the contents of the period game history, for example, the maximum number of acquisitions.

  In the present embodiment, when generating the storage two-dimensional code NC, when a plurality of sets of period game histories are aggregated, the criteria for selecting the period game histories used for the generation may be changed. For example, superiority or inferiority may be determined on the basis of the number of continuous games in selecting a period game history used for generation. In addition, the selection of the period game history used for generation is not limited as long as it is possible to select something. Various selections may be made such as randomly selecting from all period game histories, calculating the average, or letting the player himself select. A method can be considered.

  In the present embodiment, when the two-dimensional code NC for release is generated, as a result of comparing a plurality of sets of period game histories, the number of continuous games and the maximum number of acquisitions related to the period game history that is determined to be the best situation are recorded. Various information may be used.

In the present embodiment, during the aggregation of game histories, the method of recording a plurality of sets of period game histories may be to record only the period game histories determined to be the best situation.
In the present embodiment, an operation unit such as a dedicated button for selecting whether to issue a public two-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code for storage can be provided. In addition, although a switch / input button BT is provided to select these, the BET buttons 19 and 20, the start lever 22 and the like can be substituted.

  In the present embodiment, during the preparation mode, it is finally connected to the ART mode, so it can be said that it is an advantageous state for the player, that is, an advantageous gaming state. For this reason, the specific counting period may be determined even during the preparation mode. Also, during the preparation mode, it is advantageous for the player, but it may be delayed depending on the winning condition of the SIN role. Therefore, only the number of acquisitions (maximum acquisition number) in the period game history may be counted. . Further, since the gaming state is a high-probability RT game during the high-probability RT effect, it can be said that the state is advantageous to the player, that is, the advantageous gaming state, as in the preparation mode. For this reason, during high-definition RT effects, the same specifications as in the preparation mode in this separate example can be adopted.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration other than the two-dimensional code NC and the password can be adopted as long as the player can issue and input information that can specify the game history. For example, a password may be issued from the pachislot machine 10 instead of the two-dimensional code NC.

In the present embodiment, the two-dimensional code NC may be generated according to a standard different from Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) X-0510.
In the present embodiment, the two-dimensional code may be a three-dimensional code in which each data cell is color-coded into three or more colors.

  In the present embodiment, the period for controlling the ART mode can be determined by time. In this case, in order to extend the game period, the time for controlling to the ART mode is extended.

  In the present embodiment, the specification of the transition of the production state until the entry of the ART mode may be changed. For example, by changing to the preparation mode on the condition that the prescribed number of times of the fluctuating game has passed in the normal mode, It is also possible to create a state that allows a transition to the mode, and to make a specification that shifts to the ART mode when a special SIN spill occurs thereafter. The specification of the ART mode can also be realized by a stock type that manages the ART mode in units of sets.

  In the present embodiment, the advantageous game state may be advantageous to the player, and for example, the winning probability of the combined replay role can be set almost the same as other game states. In this case, in the advantageous gaming state, it is possible for the player to be advantageous if the specification allows the bell navigation effect to be performed.

In this embodiment, the configuration of the game state may be arbitrarily changed, and the types of general games having different RT performances can be increased.
In the present embodiment, a combination of symbols that determines award medal payout can be set as an opportunity for the transition between the low probability RT game and the high probability RT game.

  -In this embodiment, the player is notified of the effect state by the light emission effect of the lamp R, or a dedicated lamp for each effect state is provided to light up these to notify the player of the effect state, or the speaker SP The player may be notified of the effect state by voice effect. In this case, various effects such as navigation may be performed by the lamp R or the speaker SP.

  In the present embodiment, the end of the BN game can be defined only by the number of winnings, or can be defined only by the number of executions. In addition, the types of BN roles can be increased, or the BN role may be a challenge time (so-called “CT”).

The present embodiment may be embodied in a pachinko slot machine (pachislot machine) that uses a game ball (pachinko ball) as a game medium.
