  However, the two-dimensional code displayed on the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 relates to the game history after the password is input, and the game history before the password is input is reflected in the two-dimensional code. Never happen. For example, since the premier production performed just before the password input is not reflected in the two-dimensional code as the player's game history, it is not possible to set the production environment that is possible when the premier production is performed. . However, the password is entered manually by the player, and some passwords have many digits. Therefore, entering the password every time the game is started is the player's input. In addition, there is a case where the game is started forgetting to input the password.

  Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine capable of acquiring information such as a game history before inputting a password.

  According to the first invention, the game history storage means is provided, and when an operation for ending the specific game mode is performed, the game history stored in the game history storage means during the specific game mode and the identification information receiving means receive the identification information. Since an identifier for generating an identifier reflecting the game history stored in the game history storage means during a predetermined period until acceptance is generated, a specific game for a game history in the specific game mode and a game history before the specific game mode is generated. Can be obtained when exiting the mode. Thereby, even if the player forgets to input the identification information and starts the game, the game history before the specific game mode can be acquired at the end of the specific game mode. Although it is possible to prevent leakage, it is only necessary to input identification information when a specific effect to be stored as a game history is performed, and it is not necessary to input identification information every time a game is started. The burden of inputting player identification information can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to promote the use of various functions associated with the input of identification information such as setting of the production environment.

Further, according to the first invention, it is possible to select whether or not to reflect the game history stored in the game history storage means in the identifier for a predetermined period until the identification information receiving means receives the identification information by the player's operation. Therefore, the player can manage the contents of the game history to be acquired. For example, the game history acquired at the end of the specific game mode is only related to the game in the specific game mode. The contents of the game history acquired can be changed accordingly.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the game history storage means stores the game history stored in the predetermined period as the game non-playing state has elapsed for a preset time. Since it erase | eliminates, memory capacity, such as an electronic element which memorize | stores information, can be restrained compared with the case where all the game histories are memorize | stored, for example, without erasing a game history. As a result, the manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with the case of using a large-capacity electronic element.

[Game information management means]
The game information management means 703 manages personal history sent from the player to the server 700, setting information of the production environment of the slot machine 1 set by the player at the management site, as described above. Specifically, after the player's member ID is issued by member registration, the personal history transmitted from the player and the setting information of the production environment of the slot machine 1 set by the player on the management site are set as the member ID. They are managed in association with each other. For example, when the game information receiving means 704 receives a new personal history transmitted from the player, the game information management means 703 has already managed the personal history of the player who transmitted the new personal history. In this case, the game information management means 703 updates the latest personal history received from the managed personal history. That is, the game information management means 703 manages the personal history while sequentially updating it to a new one. Similarly, when the production environment setting information receiving unit 706 receives the production environment setting information of the new slot machine 1 set by the player, the game information management unit 703 transmits the new setting information. If the setting information is already managed, it is updated to the new setting information received from the managed setting information. That is, when the player newly sets the production environment of the slot machine 1 on the management site, the new setting information is managed instead of the setting information that has already been set.

[Game information receiving means]
The game information receiving unit 704 receives the transmitted personal history when the personal history of the player is transmitted from the mobile phone 800 or the like. More specifically, when data related to personal history is transmitted from the mobile phone 800 to the server 700 via the network, the transmitted data is received and stored in the main memory 720, the auxiliary storage device 710, or the like. Various data stored in the main memory 720 and the auxiliary storage device 710 are managed by the game information management means 703 as described above.

[Production environment setting information transmission means]
The production environment setting information transmission means 705 transmits the production environment setting information of the slot machine 1 to the player.

Is to send. Then, the production environment setting information transmission unit 705 displays a setting screen for setting the production environment indicating the selection of characters / BGM and the like, selection / non-setting, and the types of characters and BGM that can be selected when performing the setting. This is performed by transmitting to the mobile phone 800 of the player.

[Production environment setting information receiving means]
The production environment setting information receiving unit 706 receives the production environment setting information of the slot machine 1 transmitted from the player. Specifically, as described above, on the setting screen for setting the production environment transmitted to the mobile phone 800 of the player, the player sets the production environment of the slot machine 1 and the setting information is transmitted to the server. Along with this, the transmitted setting environment environment information is received.

[Bit generation means]
The bit generation means 707 generates information bits based on various information as shown in FIG. Specifically, system information bits representing basic information related to personal information (for example, member ID) input and set by the player on the management site, and similarly, effects of the slot machine 1 input by the player on the management site In addition to generating setting information bits representing environment setting information with a predetermined bit length (number of bits), the bit generation means 707 is a validity determination bit which is a determination bit representing determination information regarding validity / invalidity of the setting information bits. Can be generated with a predetermined bit length.

[Password generation means]
The password generation means 708 generates a password in response to a player's request. Specifically, for example, when the setting information of the production environment of the slot machine 1 set by the player is managed by the game information management means 703, the bit generation means is accompanied by a password issuance request by the player. A password is generated and issued based on the information bits generated by 707. The password generation means 708 can perform bit mask processing when generating a password. For example, when generating a password with a reduced number of digits, as will be described later, By performing a mask process, the number of information bits can be reduced to generate a password. In the present embodiment, the password issued by the password generation unit 708 may be configured with a so-called one-time password that is valid only for a certain period of time, for example.

[password]
The password issued by the password generation means 708 is composed of 32 types of letters and numbers consisting of numbers from “0” to “9” and alphabets from “A” to “V” (FIG. 15). reference). In this embodiment, one digit constituting the password is set with 5 bits. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, the characters and numbers constituting the password are set according to the information bits generated by the bit generation means 707. The generated password is shown in FIG. As shown, characters and numbers corresponding to the generated information bits are generated. Further, as shown in FIG. 3A, the password represents a system information bit that is an information bit indicating basic information, a validity determination bit that is an information bit indicating determination information, and setting information of the production environment of the slot machine 1. The setting information bits are set based on the information bits of character setting, BGM setting 1, and BGM setting 2.

  Here, the system information represents basic information such as information about the player as described above. For example, in addition to information related to the player's member ID and model information of the slot machine 1 that sets the production environment, the system information includes, for example, whether or not a game was played in a specific game mode, which will be described later, before the previous day. For example, information related to past games is also represented. The password in this embodiment is set so as to always correspond to this system information. In other words, the password issued by the password generation means 708 is always generated based on the information bits of the system information. In other words, the generated password always has information on the system information. doing. The number of bits of the system information is set to 10 bits as shown in FIG. That is, the password based on this system information is generated with two characters.

  The character setting represents information related to the setting of the production environment of the slot machine 1 set by the production environment setting means 69 described later. Specifically, for example, it represents information related to the setting of a character displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19. In the present embodiment, the player can arbitrarily select the character displayed in the production from a plurality of preset characters, and further, according to the selected character. A plurality of items (for example, costumes and weapons) that the character can wear can be selected.

  In this embodiment, a plurality of combinations (for example, 128 combinations) are possible from selectable characters and items, and further, selectable characters according to the player's personal history. And the number of combinations of items is increasing. More specifically, the number of combinations of characters and items that can be selected is increased by accomplishing the mission. Here, the mission is to allow the gaming system 900 to set, for example, the production environment of the slot machine 1 to a special character, a special BGM, or the like as the achievement. More specifically, in the present embodiment, as a mission, for example, a plurality of tasks as a mission are set in advance, for example, a premier effect to be described later is executed during the game. If the above problem is achieved, the production environment can be set according to the mission. In other words, the number of combinations that can be selected increases as the number of mission achievements increases. The number of bits for character setting in the present embodiment is set to 7 bits as shown in FIG. 3A, and the password based on this character setting is generated with two characters. It has become.

  The BGM setting 1 and the BGM setting 2 represent information related to the setting of the BGM and the like that flow during the game. For example, the slot machine 1 can select and set any combination from among a plurality of combinations (for example, 128) of BGM that flows during a bonus game or a predetermined performance. The setting 1 represents information related to the setting for the BGM. Further, the slot machine 1 has a plurality of combinations such as a combination of a plurality of songs other than those that can be set in the BGM setting 1, and a sound effect (operation sound) that flows when a start lever 25, a stop button 29, and the like described later are operated. Any combination of sound information (for example, 256 combinations of BGM and sound information) can be selected and set, and BGM setting 2 is for BGM and sound information. It represents information about settings. As for the BGM and sound information that can be set in the BGM setting 1 and the BGM setting 2, the number of combinations that can be selected increases according to the personal history (according to the achievement status of the mission), as in the character setting. . In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3A, BGM setting 1 is set to 7 bits and BGM setting 2 is set to 8 bits. Each password based on each BGM setting is generated with two characters.

  The validity determination bit represents information regarding validity (setting) or invalidity (unset) for the above-described character setting, BGM setting 1, and BGM setting 2, and is set by 3 bits. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3B, the most significant bit of the validity determination bit is configured to represent ON / OFF (valid, invalid) of the character setting, and the least significant bit of the validity determination bit. The bit is configured to indicate ON / OFF of BGM setting 2. Bits other than the most significant bit and the least significant bit are configured to indicate ON / OFF of BGM setting 1. As shown in FIG. 3C, the validity determination bit displays information regarding BGM setting 1 and BGM setting 2 and character setting ON / OFF in eight patterns. For example, as shown in FIG. 3C, when all of character (character setting), BGM1 (BGM setting 1), and BGM2 (BGM setting 2) are OFF (not set), the validity determination bit is “000”. ", When only the character is ON (set), it is" 100 ", and when all of the character, BGM1, and BGM2 are ON, it is" 111 ".

  As will be described in detail later, when the password generated based on the validity determination bit of “111” is input to the slot machine 1 as described above, the slot machine character or BGM (BGM setting) 1 and BGM setting 2) are set (changed) based on the input password setting information, and the password generated based on the validity determination bit of “100” is used as the slot machine 1 Is set based on password setting information in which only the character is input, and BGM is not set (that is, a standard state in which a BGM prepared in advance is set when the production environment is not set) Default state). Further, when a password generated based on the validity determination bit of “000” is input to the slot machine 1, all characters and BGM (BGM setting 1 and BGM setting 2) are not set. It has become. That is, the production environment of the slot machine 1 is set as a default state, a character prepared in advance is displayed on the screen, and a BGM prepared in advance is played.

  When the password generation unit 708 generates a password based on each information bit described above, for example, the player uses the slot machine 1 for all of the character setting, BGM setting 1, and BGM setting 2 at the management site described above. If the presentation environment is set to be changed (customized), as shown in FIG. 4A, a 7-digit password (JBT98QL), which is a specific digit, is based on each information bit described above. It is to be generated. Specifically, a 2-character password (J, B) corresponding to 10-bit system information, a 2-character password (T, 9) corresponding to a 3-bit validity determination bit and a 7-bit character setting, It is set from a 3-character password (8, Q, L) corresponding to 7-bit BGM setting 1 and 8-bit BGM setting 2.

  Further, for example, when the player is set to change the production environment of the slot machine 1 only for the character setting on the management site, the password issued by the password generating means 708 is as shown in FIG. In addition, a four-digit password (DJHE), which is a specific digit, is generated. Specifically, a 2-character password (D, J) corresponding to 10-bit system information, a 3-bit validity determination bit, and, for example, a setting information bit generated by the bit generation means 707, BGM installation 1 and BGM setting 2 are set from a two-character password (H, E) corresponding to a 7-bit character setting obtained by performing bit mask processing on the bit.

  Further, for example, when the player has not set the production environment of the slot machine 1 to change on the management site, that is, when the setting of the production environment is not set (default state), the password generation means 708 issues it. As shown in FIG. 4C, a three-digit password (AS0), which is a predetermined digit, is generated as the password. Specifically, it is set from a two-character password (A, S) corresponding to 10-bit system information and a one-character password (0) corresponding to a 3-bit validity determination bit. As described above, the validity determination bit is generated with 5 bits in order to correspond to the password (0) made up of 5 bits per character, and 2 bits other than 3 bits corresponding to the validity determination bit are used. Since none of the information is supported, the validity determination bit may be configured by 3 bits by performing bit mask processing.

[Password transmission method]
The password transmission unit 709 transmits the password generated by the password generation unit 708 to the mobile phone 800 of the player. Specifically, a password issuance request signal transmitted from the mobile phone 800 of the player is input to the server control device 701, and is generated as the password is generated and issued by the password generation means 708. The transmitted password is transmitted to the mobile phone 800 of the player who requested the issuance of the password.

<Mobile phone>
The mobile phone 800 as a communication terminal has a telephone call function as a telephone, and has a communication function capable of accessing a management site via a network as described above, and also for taking images and videos. The camera function is configured.

In that case, the medal payout device 3b pays out bets and medals corresponding to the credit medals.

[Sub-control device]
The sub-control device 42 functions as an effect control means 59, a game history storage means 60, a password acceptance means 61, a two-dimensional code generation means 63, a two-dimensional code display means 65, and the like.

[Production control means]
The production control unit 59 operates the production devices such as the liquid crystal display device 19, the lamp 20, and the speaker 35 and controls the operation thereof. The production data storage unit 66, the production execution unit 67, and the production environment setting. It functions as means 69.

[Production data storage means]
The effect data storage means 66 stores, for example, effect data related to effects performed in the game. The effect data stored in the effect data storage means 66 includes image data for displaying a predetermined moving image or still image on the liquid crystal display device 19, and light emission for turning on, turning off, and blinking the lamp 20 in a predetermined manner. Pattern data, voice data to be output from the speaker 35, and the like, which store presentation data relating to a number of presentation patterns. For example, effect data relating to an effect performed during one game (so-called single-shot effect), effect data relating to a continuous effect performed continuously over a plurality of games, and bonus game Production data relating to production patterns to be performed is stored.

[Direction execution means]
The effect execution means 67 is for executing effects based on the effect data stored in the effect data storage means 66. More specifically, the effect execution means 67 sends various signals such as a light emission signal to the effect device based on the effect data related to the effect selected by the effect lottery performed each time the game is started by the effect lottery means (not shown). Production is performed by operating the device. Further, as described above, among the effects performed by the effect device, there is a specific effect generally referred to as a premier effect. Here, the premier effect is an effect that is very unlikely to be selected in the effect lottery. In other words, it is an effect with a very low probability of being executed.

[Production environment setting means]
The production environment setting unit 69 receives the password input by the password reception unit 61 (to be described later) and logs in (starts a specific game mode (to be described later)), and the input environment of the production environment of the slot machine 1 It is set to the production environment corresponding to. That is, the character displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19 and the BGM output from the speaker 35 are set (customized) in the production environment set by the logged-in player on the management site. Then, the production environment setting unit 69 sets the production environment of the slot machine 1 to the production environment corresponding to the input password with the login, so the production execution unit 67 produces the production according to the password setting information. Is supposed to be executed. Furthermore, the production environment setting unit 69 logs out (a specific game mode described later) from the menu screen 1000 (see FIG. 13) as described later by operating the personal history (data storage) or the settlement button 24. The production environment set is canceled, and when the production environment set by the production environment setting means 69 is released, the production environment of the slot machine 1 is It returns to the state before the production environment is set. That is, each setting of character setting, BGM setting 1, and BGM setting 2 shifts to a default state.

[Password accepting means]
The password receiving means 61 that is the identification information receiving means is for determining whether or not the password input by the jog dial 27 can be received. The password receiving means 61 determines whether the validity determination bit is valid or invalid. It has the determination means 70 which performs determination. The password accepting means 61 accepts the input of the password if the input password is an acceptable password, and invalidates the input of the password if the password cannot be accepted ( Not accepted).

  Specifically, the presence or absence of data corresponding to the data included in the input password is determined, and when there is corresponding data, the password is accepted. For example, the input password is decoded (decoded), and it is determined from the information bits obtained by the decoding that the password is generated based on the setting information bits as described above, and the setting information bits When data corresponding to the setting information is stored in the effect data storage means 66, the input password is accepted. On the other hand, when there is no data corresponding to the data corresponding to the setting information of the setting information bit in the effect data storage means 66, the input of the password is not accepted (without logging in) on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19. A warning screen is displayed to inform the player that the password is not legitimate (for example, “password is incorrect”). In the slot machine 1, the production environment is set by the production environment setting unit 69 so as to correspond to the setting information of the setting information bit with the login, and further, the game history storage unit 60 to be described later describes the personal history. Memory is to be started. That is, with the login, the slot machine 1 is set (changed) to an effect environment corresponding to the input password, and shifts to a specific game mode in which the personal history of the logged-in player is stored. It has become.

[Determination means]
When the determination unit 70 determines whether or not the input password can be received by the password reception unit 61 described above, the input password is the character setting, BGM setting 1 and BGM setting from the input password. It is determined whether or not it is set based on 2. More specifically, as described above, the input password is decrypted, and based on the validity determination bit obtained by the decryption, the input password is stored in the information regarding the character setting, BGM setting 1, and BGM setting 2. It is determined whether it is set based on this. When the determination unit 70 determines that one or all of the character setting, BGM setting 1, and BGM setting 2 are valid (set) based on the validity determination bit, the password receiving unit 61 As described above, the contents of data corresponding to the set character setting, BGM setting 1, and BGM setting 2 are determined. On the other hand, if the determination unit 70 determines that the password is invalid from the character setting, BGM setting 1, and BGM setting 2 from the validity determination bit, the password receiving unit 61 matches the model information of the system information. If it matches, the password is accepted without setting the production environment of the slot machine 1. That is, the game mode is shifted to a specific game mode in which only the personal history is recorded.

[Game history storage means]
The game history storage means 60 stores a game history and a personal history, and the game history storage means 60 is operated for a predetermined period after the slot machine 1 is turned on by operating a power switch (not shown). A game history in a game at the time of non-login (before log-in) from when the game is started (from the first game) until the power of the slot machine 1 is turned off is stored. Further, the game history storage means 60 stores the game history until logging out after logging in (hereinafter simply referred to as being logged in) in association with the input password, thereby providing the personal history of the logged-in player. It comes to memorize. That is, when logged in, the game history is switched to the personal history. However, when the slot machine is turned on and logged in from the first game, the personal history of the player who logged in from the first game is stored.

  In addition, the game history storage means 60 terminates the storage of the personal history as the user is logged out, erases the stored personal history and the game history stored before login, and from the game after logout, A game history is memorized. In other words, upon logout, the personal history storage is switched to the game history storage again. As described above, the game history storage means 60 performs a storage process for each game as a game history before login, and does not perform a new storage process as a game history after login. The game history stored until is logged out, and the personal history is stored for each game only during login.

  The game history storage means 60 has a counter (not shown) and counts the number of games as the signal indicating that the start lever 25 is operated is input from the main control device 41. In addition, the game history storage means 60 has a memory (not shown). The game history storage means 60 is configured to store the game history and personal history in the memory. Further, the game history storage means 60 holds the game history and personal history stored in the memory. The stored personal history and game history can be stored in the memory. In other words, data relating to game history or personal history is stored in the memory, and the stored data is stored in the memory. For example, when the power of the slot machine 1 is suddenly turned off without operating the power switch. Even in this case, it is possible to prevent the stored game history and personal history data from being lost. In this embodiment, when the player performs an operation for saving the personal history, the personal history and the game history stored in the memory by the game history storage means 60 are saved in the memory. Accordingly, a two-dimensional code related to a personal history stored as described later is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19.

  Further, the game history stored by the game history storage means 60 before login is stored as information related to information set in advance for setting the production environment of the slot machine 1, that is, information set in advance as a mission. It has become. Specifically, the presence / absence of execution of a specific effect such as the above-mentioned premier effect, the number of times the specific effect is executed, the presence / absence of winning a bonus role in the above-mentioned role lottery, Is set so as to store information on the presence / absence of a predetermined winning combination (for example, a small winning combination generally called strong cherry) and the number of winning combinations as a game history.

  In addition, the personal history that the game history storage means 60 stores after login includes the presence / absence of execution of a specific effect such as a premier effect, the number of times the specific effect is executed, the presence / absence of winning a bonus combination in a role lottery, Number of wins, whether or not a given role called a rare role (for example, a small role generally called a strong cherry) has been won, the number of wins, date and time of login, and payout during login The total number of medals entered, the difference between the total number of medals inserted into the slot machine 1 during login and the total number of medals paid out from the slot machine (that is, paid out with the inserted medals) Information for managing the balance of medals) and the total number of games during login.

  Furthermore, the game history storage means 60 can handle a game history stored before the player logs in as a personal history. More specifically, for example, when a premier effect is performed during a game and the player logs in to the next game of the game in which the premier effect was performed, the game history storage means 60 is connected to the pre-login game. The performance of the premier effect stored as the game history before login is also specified as the history of the logged-in player (corresponding to the input password), and the personal history of the logged-in player is obtained. ing.

  In the present embodiment, the game history storage means 60 and the effect control means 59 described above can set the effect environment of the slot machine 1 based on the password setting information, and store the personal history. The specific game mode control means is configured.

[Two-dimensional code generation means]
The two-dimensional code generation means 63 relates to the personal history stored by the game history storage means 60 (as described above, if the game history before login is the personal history, the personal history and the game history). The two-dimensional code generating means 63 generates an identifier, and the two-dimensional code generating means 63, as will be described later, stores the personal history or the adjusting button 24 is operated from the adjusting control means 50 described above. A two-dimensional code based on the personal history information stored in the game history storage means 60 is generated in response to the input of a signal informing that.

[Two-dimensional code display means]
The two-dimensional code display means 65 displays the two-dimensional code generated by the two-dimensional code generation means on the liquid crystal screen of the liquid crystal display device 19. Specifically, as the two-dimensional code generation unit 63 generates the two-dimensional code, the two-dimensional code display unit outputs the generated two-dimensional code to the liquid crystal display device 19 over a predetermined period, The two-dimensional code is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19. In the present embodiment, the two-dimensional code display means 65 displays a two-dimensional code on the liquid crystal display device 19 as a predetermined period, for example, and then a new bet is made or the jog dial 27 is operated. A two-dimensional code is displayed until a new operation is performed or a preset time elapses without a new operation. In this embodiment, the two-dimensional code is displayed. The code display means 65 and the liquid crystal display device 19 constitute information display means.

[Operation of gaming system and slot machine]
Next, operations of the gaming system 900 and the slot machine 1 configured as described above will be described. First, the operation of the gaming system 900 when playing a game using the gaming system 900 configured with the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As described above, when playing a game with the slot machine 1 in the specific game mode, such as setting the production environment of the slot machine 1, first, the player needs to access the management site as shown in FIG. (STEP 100 in FIG. 8, hereinafter, simply referred to as SXX). When accessing the management site, if the player is near the slot machine 1 such as in a hall (pachinko parlor), it is easy to display the address information of the management site on the screen of the slot machine 1 The management site can be accessed.

  Specifically, when the player operates the jog dial 27 of the slot machine 1, the menu screen 1000 of the slot machine 1 is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19, as shown in FIG. For example, when a player newly registers a member, the player selects an icon of new registration (new member registration) 1010 from the menu screen 1000 and presses the jog button 27a (clicks on the icon). On the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19, a two-dimensional code screen 1100 having address information (URL) of a page for registering a new member is displayed as shown in FIG. Then, when the player photographs the two-dimensional code displayed on the screen with the camera of the mobile phone 800, the address information of the management site included in the two-dimensional code is read into the memory of the mobile phone 800, and the player By accessing the management site based on the address information read into the mobile phone 800, the management site can be easily accessed.

  As described above, after accessing the management site from the mobile phone 800, a player who does not have a member ID, that is, a player who has not registered a member (NO in S101) acquires a member ID (new member). Register as a new member on the management site. Specifically, a new member registration screen (page) is acquired on the management site (S102), and the player inputs personal information (for example, name and address) on the new member registration screen. To register as a member. Then, for example, after the player inputs personal information or the like, when the member registration completion icon displayed on the screen of the mobile phone 800 is clicked (YES in S103), the entered member information is stored in the server 700. In response to the member information, the server 700 sets a storage area dedicated to the registered player's member in the auxiliary storage device 710 (S105). In other words, a new member registration is performed, and a message indicating that the new member registration is completed is displayed on the screen of the mobile phone 800. The server 700 stores personal information input at the time of member registration, personal history transmitted from the player, and the like in the storage area. However, when new member registration is not performed, the slot machine 1 cannot be set to the specific game mode, and thus a series of operations of the game system is ended (NO in S103).

  Then, a player who has newly registered as a member or a player who has already been registered as a member and has a member ID (YES in S101) accesses the management site, logs in, and then plays a slot machine at the management site. Set for one gaming environment. Specifically, a screen for setting the production environment is acquired on the management site (S106, S107), and as described above, the player uses the character about the production environment of the slot machine 1 on the screen for setting the production environment. Setting, BGM setting 1, and BGM setting 2 are set (S108). For example, although not shown, after the player clicks on the icon displaying the character or BGM to be selected on the effect environment setting screen, when the player clicks on the setting determination icon, the setting information is stored in the server 700. (S109), and the transmitted setting information is stored in the main memory 720 (S110). Further, when the player clicks on the setting determination icon (or clicks on an unselected icon) without selecting any of the character setting, BGM setting 1 and BGM setting 2 of the slot machine 1, the production environment Is not set, and the setting information is stored in the storage device 710. That is, the production environment is set as the default state.

  Then, as described above, after setting the production environment of the slot machine 1 on the management site, the player sets (changes) the production environment of the slot machine 1 from which the game will be played to the production environment set on the management site. Therefore, the server 700 issues a password having the setting information set on the management site by the player (YES in S111). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17, the password issuance icon 1410 displayed on the screen 1400 of the mobile phone 800 is clicked. When the password issuance icon is clicked by the player, a signal requesting the issuance of the password is sent to the server 700 (S112). However, when the player does not request the issuance of the password. At that time, a series of operations of the gaming system is completed (NO in S111).

  When the server 700 (server control device 701) receives a signal requesting a password (YES in S113), the bit generation means 707 receives basic information such as a member ID stored in the main memory 720, the auxiliary storage device 710, or the like. In addition to generating system information bits, and information bits representing each information such as setting information bits representing the setting of the rendering environment stored in the main memory 720 and the auxiliary storage device 710, the main memory 720 and the auxiliary storage device are also generated. From the setting information stored in 710 or the like, as described above, a validity determination bit representing information regarding validity / invalidity of the setting information is generated (S114). When the bit generating unit 707 generates information bits representing various types of information, the password generating unit 708 generates a password based on the generated information bits (S115). When the password is generated by the password generation means 708, the generated password is transmitted to the player's mobile phone 800 by the password transmission means 709 (S116). When the player's mobile phone 800 receives the password transmitted from the server 700 (YES in S117), the password is displayed on the screen of the mobile phone 800 as shown in FIG. However, if the mobile phone 800 has not received the password transmitted from the server 700, the password is not displayed on the screen of the mobile phone 800 (NO in S117).

  Then, as described above, when the password issued from the server 700 is input to the slot machine 1 with the jog dial 27 and the player logs in (YES in S118), the slot machine 1 to which the password is input is detailed. As will be described later, the normal state (normal game mode) is shifted to the specific game mode (S119). However, if the player starts a game without entering a password, the slot machine 1 is played in the normal game mode without shifting to the specific game mode (NO in S118). That is, the setting of the production environment by the production environment setting unit 69 and the personal history by the game history storage unit 60 are not stored.

  As will be described later, when the specific game mode ends, the player captures the two-dimensional code displayed on the screen of the slot machine 1 with the camera of the mobile phone 800 within a predetermined period (S120). NO, YES in S121), personal history data from log-in to log-out to the end of the game can be acquired in the mobile phone 800 (S122). Then, after acquiring the personal history data, when the player accesses the management site again and performs an operation of transmitting the acquired personal history data to the server 700 (YES in S123), the acquired personal history is acquired. Is sent from the mobile phone 800 to the server (S124). However, when the two-dimensional code is not photographed with the camera of the mobile phone 800 (YES in S120, NO in S121), or when the acquired personal history data is not sent to the server 700 (NO in S123), At that time, a series of operations of the gaming system is completed.

  When the server 700 (game information receiving unit 704) receives the personal history data transmitted from the mobile phone 800 of the player (YES in S125), the personal history of the player who transmitted the personal history by the game information management unit 703 is received. A personal history reference process is performed to refer to whether or not is already managed (S126). If the personal history of the player who sent the personal history is not managed by the personal history reference process, the received personal history is newly managed as the personal history of the player who sent the personal history. On the other hand, if the player's personal history has already been managed, the managed personal history is updated to the newly received personal history (S127), and a game performed using the gaming system is performed. It is supposed to end. When the player starts the game again in the specific game mode, the effect environment of the slot machine 1 can be set to a different effect environment based on the updated personal history.

  Next, the operation of the slot machine 1 constituting the gaming system will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the operation of the slot machine 1 and the medal settlement operation in one game performed under the control of the main controller 41 will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, bet a medal when starting a game. Specifically, the number of medals necessary for one game (for example, three medals) is inserted from the medal insertion slot 23, the MAXBET button 26 is pressed, or the re-game player A bet is made by automatically betting with winning (YES in S200 of FIG. 9).

  When the player operates the start lever 25 (lever is turned on) after the bet is placed, a role lottery process is performed by the role lottery means 46, and the rotation reel 6 rotates in accordance with the rotation start process of the rotation reel 6. Is started (S201, S202, S203).

  When the player operates any one of the stop buttons 29 (stop button ON) as the operation of the stop button 29 is validated after the rotating reel 6 starts to rotate, the corresponding stop button 29 is operated. The rotation of the rotating reel 6 is stopped (YES in S204, S205).

  When all the rotating reels 6 stop rotating, the game result determination process is performed from the stop position of the rotating reels 6. Specifically, it is determined by the stop symbol determining means 48 whether or not the symbol combinations corresponding to the winning combination by the lottery drawing are aligned (stopped) on the effective winning line, and the medal corresponding to the winning combination winning Processing according to the game result such as paying out is performed, and one game is finished (YES in S206, S207, S208).

  Further, when the player operates (ON) the checkout button 24 (YES in S209), such as when the continuation of the game is ended, when a bet medal or a credit medal is stored (S210) YES) In addition to paying out the total number of medals according to the bet medals and credit medals from the medal payout device 3b, a medal checkout process for transmitting a signal notifying that the checkout button 24 has been operated to the sub-control device 42 is performed. (S211). However, when the settlement button 24 is not operated (NO in S209), and there is no bet medal or credit medal (NO in S210), the medal is not settled.

  Next, the specific game mode control performed in the sub-control device 42 will be described with reference to FIG. First, the player inputs the password transmitted (issued) from the server 700 to the mobile phone 800 with the jog dial 27 in order to shift the slot machine 1 from the normal game mode to the specific game mode (see S118 in FIG. 8). Specifically, when a password icon 1030 on the menu screen 1000 is clicked, a password input screen 1200 is displayed as shown in FIG. Then, the player selects characters and numbers displayed on the password input screen 1200 with the dial portion 27b of the jog dial 27, and inputs the password while determining the selection with the jog button 27a.

  After the password is entered, when the player presses the jog button 27a to determine the password entry, the password accepting process 61, which will be described later in detail, is performed by the password accepting means 61 (S300 in FIG. 10).

  Then, when the input password is received by the password receiving means 61 and logged in (YES in S301), the presentation environment setting process is performed by the presentation environment setting means 69, and the slot machine 1 receives the input password. Is set to the production environment corresponding to (S302). Specifically, for example, when the input password is based on the setting information bits of the character setting and BGM setting 1, the character itself displayed on the screen based on the setting information bits of the character setting or the character And the like are set and changed by the production environment setting means 69, and the BGM flowing during the bonus game is set and changed by the production environment setting means 69 based on the setting information bits of the BGM setting 1, for example. It has become. However, as will be described in detail later, when the password at the time of login is not set based on the setting information for setting the production environment such as the character setting and BGM setting 1 and BGM setting 2, that is, the character setting and BGM. When setting 1 and BGM setting 2 are not set, the password can be accepted and logged in, but the production environment is not set accordingly.

  Then, as the production environment is set by the production environment setting unit 69, the personal history storage start process by the game history storage unit 60 is performed (S303). In other words, the personal history is started to be stored by the game history storage means 60 with the login.

  Then, when ending the game, the player operates the jog dial 27 again to select the data storage icon 1020 from the menu screen 1000, and whether the player performs an operation for storing the personal history (YES in S304), Alternatively, when a signal indicating that the settlement button 24 has been operated in accordance with the operation of the settlement button 24 by the player is input from the main control device 41 (NO in S304, YES in S305), that is, a logout operation is performed. In the game until the player logs in out of the game histories stored in the game history storage means 60 as described above, for example, the pre-specified identification as the mission It is determined whether or not information related to the game history is stored (S306).

  Then, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the player inputs a password before the start of the 100th game and the input is accepted (when logged in), the mission is played in the 99th game immediately before that. When the effect A, which is a premier effect set in advance, has been performed (YES in S306), the game history storage means 60 uses the personal history of the logged-in player as to the fact that the effect A has been performed. A history addition process is performed (S307). That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, when the player logs in to the 100th game and starts the game, and when the game is ended by logout as the 103rd game ends, The fact that the production B, which is a premier production performed after login, is handled as a personal history of the player. However, if the premier effect set as a mission has not been performed before the password is accepted, or if the player logs in at the same time as the start of the game, it will be added to the personal history Since there is no game history before login, personal history addition processing is not performed (NO in S306).

  As described above, when the personal history adding process is performed, the logout is performed when the personal history adding process is performed or when the personal history adding process is not performed. Personal history ending processing for ending the storage of personal history by the game history storage means 60 started after login in accordance with the operation of saving the personal history as the operation of or the operation of the settlement button 24 (S308). However, when the player does not save the personal history or does not operate the checkout button 24, the personal history addition process and the personal history storage end process are not performed (NO in S304, S305). NO).

  When the personal history storage by the game history storage means 60 is completed by the personal history storage end process, the stored personal history is stored in the memory of the game history storage means 60, and the two-dimensional code is generated by the two-dimensional code generation means 63. By the generation process, a two-dimensional code related to the personal history stored in the game history storage means 60 is generated (S309). The generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19 by two-dimensional code display processing by the two-dimensional code display means 65 (S310).

  Then, as the generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19 for a predetermined period by the two-dimensional code display process, a game history erasing process is performed, and stored and saved by the game history storage means 60. When the recorded personal history is erased and the game history before login is stored and saved in the game history storage means 60, the game history is also erased (S311). In addition, when the personal history storage is started and the user is logged in again before the two-dimensional code display processing is performed as described above, the game history storage is performed in the same manner as described above. When the personal history stored and saved in the means 60 and the game history before login are stored and saved in the game history storage means 60, the game history is erased and newly logged in from the time of login again. The personal history is started to be stored.

  Then, as the game history and personal history are erased by the game history erasure process, the production environment setting release process is performed, and the production environment of the slot machine 1 set by the production environment setting means 69 is released, A transition is made to the state before the production environment is set (S312).

  Furthermore, after the two-dimensional code is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19, the elapse of a preset time (for example, 30 seconds) is counted by a timer, or a new medal bet or the jog dial 27 is A two-dimensional code display cancellation process for canceling the display of the two-dimensional code displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19 as a predetermined period of time until a new operation such as an operation is performed passes. This is performed by the display means 65 (S313), and the specific game mode control is ended.

  Next, password acceptance processing control performed in the sub-control device 42 when a password is input will be described with reference to FIG. As described above, when a password is input through the jog dial 27, first, the basic information determination process is performed by the password receiving means 61 (S400 in FIG. 11). Specifically, as described above, the input password is decrypted, and the model information is determined from the system information obtained by decrypting the password, and information about the player (member ID, etc.) This determination process is performed. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the model of the slot machine 1 in which the password is input matches the model of the model information included in the system information. For example, the configuration pattern of the member ID included in the system information is It is determined whether or not the pattern matches a preset pattern. More specifically, for example, whether the arrangement pattern of numbers and characters constituting the member ID matches a pattern preset as the member ID (for example, a pattern in which numbers and characters are alternately arranged). Is to be judged. When the model information and the member ID configuration pattern match, the validity determination bit determination process is performed (YES in S401), and the model of the slot machine 1 does not match the model of the model information. If the member ID configuration pattern does not match the preset pattern, the password acceptance process is terminated without accepting the password input at that time (NO in S401). In other words, even if a password is entered, the user cannot log in.

  Then, basic information determination processing is performed, and when the model information and the like match, validity determination bit determination processing is performed (S402). Specifically, from the validity determination bit obtained by decrypting the password as described above, which of character setting, BGM setting 1, and BGM setting 2 is valid (set) is determined 70. Is determined by Then, from the validity determination bit determination process, for example, when the determination means 70 determines that the validity determination bit is “100” (see FIG. 3C), the input password is the setting information of the character setting. It is determined that the data is generated based on the bit (YES in S403). That is, it is determined that the input password has setting information for setting the character setting effect environment of the slot machine 1, and data for setting the effect environment corresponding to the character setting is stored in the effect data storage unit 66. A setting information determination process is performed to determine whether the information is stored (S404). When the data corresponding to the character setting of the password is stored in the effect data storage means 66 by the setting information determination process (YES in S405), the input password is accepted and login is performed. (S406) If the data corresponding to the effect data storage means 66 is not stored, the password acceptance process control is terminated without logging in (NO in S405).

  For example, when it is determined from the validity determination bit determination process that the validity determination bit is “000” (when the character setting, BGM setting 1, and BGM setting 2 are all invalid (not set)), ( (NO in S403), the user is logged in without setting the production environment. That is, the personal history is only stored with the login.

[Summary]
As described above, since the bit generation means 707 generates the validity determination bit for displaying the validity / invalidity (set, unset) information of the setting information bit, for example, the player can play a slot such as a character or BGM. When the production environment of the machine 1 is not set, or when only the specific production environment is set (for example, when only the character is set and BGM is not set), the validity determination bit representing the information is generated. Can do. Thereby, for example, when not setting all of the production environment such as the character and BGM, or when setting only for the character, the information of the setting of the character and BGM is expressed by generating the validity determination bit indicating the information. The password generation means 708 can generate a password without being based on the setting information bits. That is, the number of bits (bit length) when generating a password based on the bits can be suppressed. As a result, the number of digits of the password to be generated can be suppressed. For example, as described above, when all of the character setting, BGM setting 1, and BGM setting 2 are set, the password is set with 7 digits. On the other hand, the password is issued with 4 digits when setting only for character setting, and with 3 digits when none of character setting, BGM setting 1 and BGM setting 2 is set. For example, when setting only for a specific production environment, or when not setting all production environments, the password can be reduced. As a result, it is possible to shorten the input time when inputting the password into the slot machine 1, and to prevent an input error when inputting the password and to reduce stress when inputting the password. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the burden on the player when inputting the password into the slot machine 1, and not only the player who sets all the production environments but also the player who wants to set only the specific production environment Or, although it is not desired to set the production environment, it is possible to promote login for a player who wants to accumulate a game history. In other words, it is possible to promote the use of a gaming system that inputs a password to the slot machine 1.

  Further, the slot machine 1 is provided with a determination unit 70, and it can be determined whether or not the input password is generated based on the setting information bit from the validity determination bit of the input password. Whether the input password has the setting information of the production environment of the slot machine 1 or not, and if it has the setting information, which setting information it has For example, when the determination unit 70 determines that the password is set based on the character setting from the validity determination bit, the rendering environment setting unit 69 sets the rendering environment according to the character setting. In addition, if the password is set based on the character determination, BGM setting 1, and BGM setting 2 from the validity determination bit, If it is constant, it is possible to accept a password without the setting of the production environment. Thereby, for example, by inputting even a 4-digit password generated based on the setting information bits for only the character setting, it is possible to set the production environment related to the character of the slot machine 1 and to set the setting information bits. You can also log in by entering a three-digit password generated without being based on it, so in certain cases, such as when setting only a specific production environment or when no production environment is set, the password is assigned to the slot machine. In addition to being able to shorten the input time when inputting to 1, it is possible to prevent an input error when inputting a password and to reduce stress when inputting the password. It is possible to reduce the burden on the player when inputting. As a result, not only the player who sets all of the production environment but also the player who wants to set only the specific production environment or the production environment, but the login of the player who has accumulated the game history Promotion can be aimed at. In other words, it is possible to promote the use of the function of the slot machine 1 that becomes effective with the input of a password, such as promotion for playing a game in the specific game mode.

  In addition, a game history storage unit 60 for storing a player's personal history is provided, and the game history storage unit 60 is, for example, a case where a premier effect set in advance as a mission is performed in a game before the player logs in. Even if the player logs in, the execution of the premier production performed before the login is also handled as the player's personal history. Therefore, the player can log in as the premier production is performed. The execution of the premier performance performed before login can also be made the player's personal history. Thus, for example, even if the player has forgotten to log in and is playing a game, if he logs in after the premier effect is performed, the personal history of the premier effect execution performed before the login is also performed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent omission of acquisition of personal history due to forgetting to log in, and to prevent mission failure due to omission of acquisition of personal history. As a result, for example, a premier effect set as a mission was performed, but at that time, the player was not logged in, and it was not possible to acquire as a personal history that the premier effect was performed. If the mission could not be accomplished, that is, if the user was logged in, the mission could be accomplished, but the player would be disappointed (disappointed) that could occur if the mission was not achieved due to forgetting to log in As well as the loss of willingness to accomplish subsequent missions that may be caused by the disappointment. That is, it is possible to prevent the subsequent acquisition of the personal history due to the loss of willingness to accomplish the mission. In other words, it is possible to prevent the game from being played in the specific game mode, in other words, to promote the use of the functions of the slot machine 1 that become effective as the password is input, such as the use of the specific game mode. Can be achieved. That is, login can be promoted. Furthermore, the player only needs to log in as the performance desired to be acquired as personal history is performed, and if the player does not perform the performance desired as personal history, there is no need to log in. Compared with the case where the player logs in every time the first game is started, the burden of inputting the password can be reduced.

  The personal history stored in the game history storage means 60 is erased when the two-dimensional code is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19 or when the user logs in before displaying the two-dimensional code on the screen. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player's personal history from being acquired by other players. Thus, for example, the player's own game history can be prevented from being used by others.

  In addition, in accordance with the operation of the settlement button 24 generally used when ending a game, a two-dimensional code of a personal history related to the game so far is generated, and the generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19. That is, since the two-dimensional code related to the personal history is displayed at the timing when the player ends the game, it is possible to prevent the player from forgetting to acquire the personal history and ending the game. As a result, for example, as described above, several missions have been achieved in the game so far, such as the execution of a premier effect, but forgetting to display the two-dimensional code based on the personal history with such information. As a result of completing the mission, if the personal history regarding the games played so far cannot be acquired and the personal history is acquired by displaying a two-dimensional code, characters, BGM, etc. can be achieved by accomplishing the mission. When the production environment of the slot machine 1 can be changed based on the personal history, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling disappointed (disappointed) due to the fact that the production environment cannot be changed due to forgetting to acquire the personal history. And prevent the loss of willingness to complete subsequent missions that can result from disappointment Door can be. That is, it is possible to prevent the subsequent acquisition of the personal history due to the loss of willingness to accomplish the mission. In other words, it is possible to prevent the game from being lost in the specific game mode, to prevent the usage rate of the specific game mode from being lowered, and to promote the use of the specific game mode.

  Further, since the two-dimensional code related to the personal history is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19 simply by operating the settlement button 24, the two-dimensional code related to the personal history can be easily displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19. Thereby, since the operation for displaying the two-dimensional code is simplified, the burden on the player's operation when displaying the two-dimensional code can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, as described above, the system information is composed of 10 bits, the validity determination bit is 3 bits, the character setting is 7 bits, the BGM setting 1 is 7 bits, and the BGM setting 2 is 8 bits. The number of bits is an example and is not limited to this. For example, the system information can be set to 15 bits or 7 bits, the BGM setting 1 can be set to 5 bits or 20 bits, etc., and the number of information bits can be arbitrarily set according to the amount of information. As the number of bits changes, the setting information of the production environment of the slot machine 1 can be reduced or newly added. For example, BGM setting 2 can be deleted by setting the validity determination bit to 2 bits. That is, the setting information can be only the character setting and BGM setting 1, and the BGM setting 3 can be newly added by setting the validity determination bit to 4 bits. That is, it is possible to freely set the character setting, BGM setting 1, BGM setting 2, and BGM setting 3.

  In the present embodiment, the setting information of the production environment of the slot machine 1 is configured with the character setting, the BGM setting 1, and the BGM setting 2, but is not limited thereto. For example, a light emission pattern setting for changing the light emission pattern of the lamp 20 or the like may be provided. That is, it can be set freely based on the production. Furthermore, the above-described password is merely an example, and each time a password is issued, a password with a different number or character is issued.

  In the present embodiment, the password and the characters constituting the password are set from 5 bits. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one character may be configured from 3 bits or 8 bits (1 byte). That is, the number of bits can be set freely, and the password generation unit 708 generates a password corresponding to the bit generated by the bit generation unit 707 as shown in FIG. However, it can be set freely.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, for example, when the player has set only the character setting of the slot machine, when the password generation means 708 issues a password based on the information bits, the bit generation means Although the information bit related to the 7-bit character setting is obtained by the bit mask process for the information bit generated by 707, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, if only the character setting is set as the setting information of the production environment of the slot machine 1, the bit generation unit 707 may generate only the information bits related to the 7-bit character setting. . That is, it may be configured such that the bit generation unit 707 generates only information bits related to the set production environment and does not generate information bits related to the production environment that is not set.

  In the present embodiment, the jog dial 27 is composed of the jog button 27a and the dial portion 27b. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, any one can be used as long as it can input a password and select a predetermined icon. For example, a determination button may be provided at the center of the cross key.

  In this embodiment, after the slot machine 1 is turned on, after the game is started (from the first game) until the slot machine 1 is turned off (no login) ( Although the game history storage means 60 is configured to store the game history of all games before login), the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the game history may be stored for a preset number of games (for example, between 30 games), and the game history may be stored while being sequentially updated each time the game is started. More specifically, at the time of non-login, all the games from the start of the game (the first game) to the 30th game are stored as a game history as described above, such as a premier effect and a rare role winning. In the case where a preset effect or the like is performed, all the information is stored as a game history. After the 31st game, the stored game history related to the first game is deleted. , A new game history in the 31st game may be stored. As a result, for example, when not logged in, the memory capacity for storing the game history can be reduced compared to the case where the game history for all games is stored, and a large-capacity memory is used. Compared with, manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the game history storage unit 60 is configured to handle the personal history of the logged-in player for one premier effect performed immediately before logging in. However, the present invention is not limited to this and is performed before logging in. If anything related to a game history such as a premier effect is added as a personal history, any one may be used. For example, an effect performed multiple times before the number of games since login (for example, a premier effect performed on a game five times before login) may also be the personal history of the logged-in player, A plurality of effects performed before the number of games (for example, a game performed five times before the login and a premier effect performed during the game ten times before the login) are also used as the personal history of the logged-in player. You may comprise. That is, it is possible to freely set the number of games and the number of information related to the game history to be added. For example, for the most recent specific effect performed before login regardless of the number of games, the logged-in player The personal history may be configured.

  Further, in the case where a premier effect is performed before login as described above, when information regarding that premier effect has been performed has already been stored in the game history storage means 60 as a player's personal history, The game history related to the premier effect may not be the personal history of the player. In other words, when the information related to the game history to be added as the personal history overlaps with the information related to the personal history, the information need not be added as the personal history.

  In the present embodiment, the game history storage means 60 determines whether or not a specific effect such as a premier effect is executed, the number of times that the specific effect is executed, whether or not a bonus combination is won in a role lottery, and how many times it is won , Whether or not a predetermined role called a rare role has been won, the number of wins, game history, date and time of login, total number of medals paid out during login, difference number during login, and total during login The number of contents stored as a game history (contents) and the number of information stored as personal histories are different so that the number of games is stored as a personal history, but this is not restrictive. For example, the content stored as the game history and the content stored as the personal history may be the same.

  In the present embodiment, the personal history addition process (see S307 in FIG. 10) is performed as the logout is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Any timing may be used as long as it is added. For example, immediately after logging in, information related to the game history before login may be added to start storing personal history.

  In the present embodiment, the game history storage means 60 is configured to erase the game history stored before login and the personal history stored after login as logout is performed. Not exclusively. For example, only the personal history may be deleted without deleting the game history as the logout is performed, or only the game history may be deleted without deleting the personal history.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the personal history storage is started and the log-in is performed again before the two-dimensional code display processing is performed after the personal history storage is started, the storage is performed up to that point. If the recorded personal history and the game history have been stored before login, the game history is erased and the personal history is newly started from the time of login again. The information about the game history such as the premier effect stored before the login is not added to the personal history that has been stored with the re-login, but this is not restrictive. For example, even if the user is logged in again, the personal history stored with the first login and the game history before the first login are not erased. You may make it add either the personal history memorize | stored with the first login, the game history memorize | stored before the first login, or any one.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the date and time of login, the presence / absence of execution of a specific effect such as a premier effect, the number of times that the specific effect is executed, the presence / absence of winning a bonus role in the role lottery, The number of wins, whether or not a predetermined role called a rare role is won, the number of wins, the total number of medals paid out during login, the difference number during login, and the total number of games during login Although the history storage means stores it as a personal history, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the game history storage means 60 stores the history related to the setting environment of the slot machine 1 such as the type of character set during login and the type of BGM set during login. Also good.

  In the present embodiment, as the generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19, the personal history stored by the game history storage means 60 and the game history before login are stored. In the case where it is stored, the game history is erased, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the stored personal history and game history before login may be erased based on the player's selection. For example, along with the display of the two-dimensional code, a confirmation screen as to whether or not to erase the stored personal history and game history is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19, and the personal history is erased according to the confirmation screen. When the jog dial 27 is operated, the personal history is erased, and when the jog dial 27 is operated so as to erase the game history, the game history is erased, and further, according to the confirmation screen, the personal history and the game history are not erased. As described above, when the jog dial 27 is operated, the personal history and the game history may not be erased.

  In the present embodiment, the game history storage unit 60 for storing the game history is provided, and the game history storage unit 60 stores the personal history as the user logs in. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, separate game history storage means for storing a personal history may be provided separately from the game history storage means 60, and the individual game history storage means may be configured to store the personal history upon login.

  In the present embodiment, the two-dimensional code based on the personal history is displayed with the logout operation. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the logout operation can be performed without displaying the two-dimensional code. In addition, while logging in, the liquid crystal display device 19 may be configured to display characters informing that the game is in a specific game mode such as “logged in” or “in a specific game mode”. . Thereby, for example, before starting the game, it is possible to know that the slot machine 1 is already in the state of the specific game mode by displaying “logged in” or the like. That is, when the previous player ends the game without performing the logout operation, the player needs to change from the login state to the logout state by the logout operation. Since it is not necessary to display a two-dimensional code having a personal history, it is possible to log out without displaying the two-dimensional code. As described above, when there is no need to display the two-dimensional code, the logout operation can be performed without displaying the two-dimensional code, so that the game can be started smoothly with the logout.

  In this embodiment, the personal history storage process is started in accordance with the presentation environment setting process by the presentation environment setting means 69, but the present invention is not limited to this (see S302 and S303 in FIG. 10). The personal history storage process may be started before the process or simultaneously with the effect environment setting process.

  In the present embodiment, the production environment setting cancellation process is performed along with the game history erasure process. However, the present invention is not limited to this (see S311 and S312 in FIG. 10). The production environment setting cancellation process may be performed before the history erasure process.

  In the present embodiment, the two-dimensional code display cancellation process is performed along with the presentation environment setting cancellation process, but this is not limited (see S312 and S313 in FIG. 10). Simultaneously with the presentation environment setting cancellation process, Alternatively, the two-dimensional code display cancellation process may be performed before the production environment setting process.

  In the present embodiment, the validity determination bit determination process is performed along with the basic information determination process. However, the present invention is not limited to this (see S400 in FIG. 11). The validity determination bit determination process may be performed before the determination process.

  In this embodiment, the two-dimensional code is generated based on the personal history. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and any identifier based on the personal history may be used. For example, a barcode or a password based on the personal history may be generated, and the barcode or password may be displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19 when the game ends.

  In the present embodiment, the information display means is configured by the liquid crystal display device 19, but is not limited thereto. For example, the information display means is configured by the speaker 35, and a password having information on the personal history is used instead of the two-dimensional code. It may be configured to output from 35.

  In the present embodiment, a two-dimensional code is generated by the two-dimensional code generation means 63 in accordance with the operation for saving the personal history, and the generated two-dimensional code is displayed as a two-dimensional code. Although displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19 by the means 65, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, when an operation for generating a two-dimensional code is performed after an operation for storing a personal history is performed, a two-dimensional code based on the personal history is generated, and further, an operation for displaying a two-dimensional code is performed. Along with this, the two-dimensional code may be displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19. That is, personal history storage, two-dimensional code generation, and two-dimensional code display may be performed based on different operations.

  In the present embodiment, the player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19 with the camera of the mobile phone 800 and sends the personal history data to the server 700. The present invention is not limited to this as long as the history data is sent to the server 700. For example, a password based on the personal history may be displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19, and the player may transmit the displayed password to the server 700. That is, the personal history data may be sent to the server 700 by inputting (type-in) the password displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19 on the management site.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the two-dimensional code is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19 or when login is performed before the two-dimensional code is displayed, the individual stored in the game history storage means 60 is stored. Although configured to delete the history and the game history before login, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a timer is provided, and when the player finishes the game without saving his personal history, that is, when the player quits the game in the slot machine 1 without logging out after logging in, You may comprise so that the personal history and game history memorize | stored may be erase | eliminated when the state where a game is no longer performed continues for a predetermined time.

  In the present embodiment, the two-dimensional code displayed in accordance with the operation of the checkout button 24 is displayed until a predetermined time elapses or a new operation such as a medal bet or a jog dial 27 is performed. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, even if a new operation is performed by the player, the two-dimensional code may be displayed until a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from forgetting the personal history.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the so-called bell navigator that notifies the pressing order of the stop button 29 when a predetermined role such as a bell role is won in the role lottery in the slot machine 1 is notified. However, the present invention is not limited to this and may be configured to have an AT function.

  Further, when the slot machine 1 is configured to have the AT function as described above, the number of AT games (the game section in which the bell navigation is performed) and the games added during the AT game are added. The game history storage means 60 may store the number of times, the number of times of addition, and the like as a personal history.

  Furthermore, a replay time (Replay Time) in which the probability of winning a re-gamer in the role lottery is provided, and the above-described AT game is constituted by an ART (Assist Replay Time) that is performed at this replay time. The game history storage means 60 may store the number of games played, the number of games added during the ART game, the number of games added, etc. as personal history.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the production environment setting means 69 is provided so that the production environment can be set based on the personal history, but the production environment cannot be set based on the personal history. Also good. That is, the production environment setting unit 69 may be omitted.

(Modification 1)
Next, Modification 1 of the above-described embodiment will be described. In the above embodiment, when a player inputs a password to the slot machine 1 and logs in, when a premier effect or the like preset as a mission is performed before login, the game history storage means 60 is configured to be the personal history of the logged-in player even for the gaming history in which the premier effect was performed. However, the first modification is performed before the login when the player logs in. The game history storage means 60 does not handle the game history before login as the personal history only when the player selects the game history such as the premier effect as the personal history of the player. Yes.

  More specifically, as described above, when a password is entered into the slot machine 1 by the jog dial 27 and the player logs in, a premier effect set in advance as a mission in the game before login is performed. In this case, although not shown in the drawing, a screen for selecting whether or not to use the game history for the premier effect as the player's personal history is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19. When the player selects to treat the premier effect as a personal history on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19, the player's game history regarding the premier effect being made is also a personal history, Is selected on the screen as not to be treated as a personal history for the premier effect, the premier effect or the like performed during login is stored in the game history storage means 60 as a personal history. It has become.

  As described above, when the player logs in, it is possible to select whether or not the game history such as the premier effect performed before the login is the personal history, so the player manages the personal history. If you do not want to use the personal history for a game history such as a premier effect performed before login, you can not use it as a personal history. In other words, only the game history after login can be set as a personal history. Thus, for example, if the premier production performed before login was performed during the game of another player who is different from the logged-in player, the premier production will not be used as his personal history. Can be. As a result, for example, the mission can be achieved by the personal history based on the game actually performed by the player, that is, all the missions can be achieved only by the player's power.

  In the first modification, when the player logs in, it is configured to select whether or not to add the game history before login to the personal history. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be configured such that the selection is made after logging in and before logging out.

(Modification 2)
Next, Modification 2 of the above-described embodiment will be described. In the above-described embodiment, when a game is played without being logged in, the game history storage means 60 has played games in all games at the time of non-login after the game is started (from the first game). Although the history is stored without being erased, in the second modification, the game history stored in the game history storage means 60 is erased when a preset condition is satisfied. Specifically, although not shown, a timer is provided, and a demo is displayed on a screen displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19 (for example, a non-game state in which no game is played for a preset time (for example, 15 minutes)). When the state in which the screen is displayed continues, the game history storage means 60 erases all the game histories stored at the time of non-login.

  As described above, the game history storage means 60 deletes the stored game history when the non-game state continues for a preset time, so that, for example, the stored game history is stored without being deleted. As compared with the case of storing, the storage capacity of the memory to be used can be suppressed. In other words, it is sufficient to use a memory having a capacity enough to store a game history when a game is played without being logged in all day (from opening to closing) in the hall. Compared to the case of using a large-capacity memory capable of storing a game history over a long period of time, the manufacturing cost of the slot machine 1 can be reduced.

(Modification 3)
Next, Modification 3 of the above-described embodiment will be described. In the above-described embodiment, as the settlement button 24 is operated by the player (in conjunction with the operation of the settlement button 24), the two-dimensional code based on the personal history so far is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19. In the third modification, after the settlement button 24 is operated, the two-dimensional code is displayed according to the operation of the jog button 27a. Specifically, when a game is played in the specific game mode, when the player operates the checkout button 24 as the player ends the game, the bet medal, Alternatively, if credit medals are stored, these medals are paid out (see FIG. 9). In this modification, at the same time as the medal is paid out, for example, it is confirmed whether or not to display the two-dimensional code related to the personal history so far on the screen of the liquid crystal display device 19. A confirmation screen is displayed.

  Then, when the player operates the jog button 27a to display the two-dimensional code according to the confirmation screen, the two-dimensional code related to the personal history of the game so far is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19. Further, after the confirmation screen is displayed, when a preset time has elapsed without the player operating the jog button 27a, or the player does not display the two-dimensional code according to the confirmation screen. Is operated, the login state is continued without displaying the two-dimensional code on the liquid crystal display device 19. In other words, the specific game mode in which the personal history is continuously stored by the game history storage means 60 is continued.

  As described above, the two-dimensional code having the personal history information is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19 by the operation of the jog button 27a after the operation of the checkout button 24 operated at the end of the game. When the player can display the two-dimensional code at the timing of displaying the two-dimensional code but does not need to display the two-dimensional code, by not operating the jog button 27a, The two-dimensional code can be prevented from being displayed on the liquid crystal display device 19. As a result, when the player does not need to display a two-dimensional code, such as when the personal history is not required when the medal is settled, the medal can be settled without displaying the two-dimensional code on the liquid crystal display device 19. It becomes possible.

  Even if the confirmation screen is displayed, if the preset time elapses without operating the jog button 27a, or if the jog dial 27 is operated so as not to display the two-dimensional code, it is specified without being logged out. Since the game mode is continued, for example, when a game is played in the specific game mode, there is no need to log in again when the game is played in the specific game mode after the medals are settled. The burden of is reduced. In other words, as described above, a series of operations from logout to log-in again is not required, such as “settlement” → “two-dimensional code reading” → “access to server 700” → “issue password” → “enter password”. Therefore, it is possible to improve the operating environment for shifting to the specific game mode of the player (connection environment to the specific game mode).

  In this modification, the display switch for displaying the two-dimensional code is configured by the jog button 27a, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be constituted by a MAXBET button 26, a stop button 29, or the like, and in addition to these buttons, a two-dimensional code display switch may be newly provided.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to the slot machine 1, but the present invention can be applied to all gaming machines. For example, based on the fact that the game ball launched into the game area wins the starting prize opening, a variable display game is started in which a plurality of pictures are variably displayed in a predetermined manner in a predetermined display area and then stopped and displayed. As a result of the variable display game, the combination of the stopped-displayed patterns becomes a special combination set in advance, so that it becomes a predetermined hit, and the special variable winning device becomes ready to accept the game ball, so that the special variable winning device can be obtained. The present invention can also be applied to a pachinko machine in which a player can acquire a large number of game balls based on winning a lot of game balls.

  For example, a determination unit 70 is provided in a pachinko machine so that a password set based on the validity determination bit can be input for a password with a reduced number of digits, and as the password is input, setting of the production environment and personal The history may be stored.

  In addition, when logging in by entering a password in the pachinko machine, in addition to the personal history of the player who logged in for a specific performance performed before logging in, as described above, the number of mission achievements, the number of logins, etc. May be stored as a personal history.

  Furthermore, for example, the above-described two-dimensional code display processing control at the time of settlement may be applied to the operation of the return switch of the pachinko machine. More specifically, a two-dimensional code related to the personal history is pachinko linked to the operation of a return switch provided on an upper plate or the like for storing pachinko balls during a game and pressed when returning an IC card or the like. You may comprise so that it may display on the screen of the liquid crystal display device of a machine.

  Similarly, for example, a lever provided on the upper plate that is operated when the pachinko balls stored in the upper plate are flowed to the lower plate, or a storage box generally referred to as a dollar box for the pachinko balls stored in the lower plate A sensor is provided on a lever provided on a lower plate that is operated when flowing in the apparatus, and a two-dimensional code relating to personal history is displayed on the screen of the liquid crystal display device of the pachinko machine in conjunction with the operation of the lever. You may comprise.

  Furthermore, although the present invention has been described in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is not limited to this, and modifications, changes, changes in combinations of constituent elements, and the like can be made within the scope that can achieve the object of the present invention. It is possible to do.
