In the center unit CN, a lottery mechanism 11 for selecting at least one element from a plurality of elements, a throwing mechanism 12 for throwing a ball B as an example of a game body into the lottery mechanism 11, and a collecting mechanism 13 for collecting the ball B (Shown in FIG. 5). In the lottery mechanism 11, the ball B enters the lottery field LF, and the ball B enters the plurality of pockets 22 as an example of a game body entry unit in which each element is associated with each other. This is a roulette type lottery mechanism in which 22 elements are drawn. As elements, for example, a plurality of colors (5 colors of red, yellow, green, pink, and blue) are set, and assigned to each pocket 22 in a predetermined order. In this embodiment, each color is assigned to three pockets 22. However, for some of the pockets 22, elements other than colors are assigned, or a plurality of colors are assigned.

  The lottery mechanism 11 is provided with a lottery field LF where a lottery is performed and a ball insertion slot 21 into which the ball B supplied from the insertion mechanism 12 is inserted. In the lottery field LF, a part of the plurality of pockets 22 (sometimes referred to as pockets 22a) are arranged coaxially inside the outer lottery unit 23 and the outer lottery unit 23 arranged in the circumferential direction, In addition, an inner lottery unit 25 in which the remaining pockets 22 (also referred to as pockets 22b) are arranged is provided. The outer lottery unit 23 and the inner lottery unit 25 are integrally rotated around a common axis AX. In addition to the pockets 22a, the outer lottery unit 23 is also provided with an appropriate number (three in the illustrated example) of guide passages 24 for guiding the ball B to the inner lottery unit 25. Further, the lottery field LF is positioned between the outer lottery unit 23 and the inner lottery unit 25 as a rotating unit that is driven to rotate in the opposite direction to the inner lottery unit 25 and the outer lottery unit 23 about the axis AX. A rotation field 26 and a ball movement field 27 positioned so as to surround the outer lottery unit 23 are provided.

  FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of a main part of the lottery mechanism 11. FIG. 4 is a diagram in which the rotation field 26 of FIG. 3 is omitted. The lottery mechanism 11 further includes a support mechanism 28 that supports the outer lottery unit 23 and the inner lottery unit 25, and a drive source 29 that rotationally drives the support mechanism 28. The drive source 29 rotates a drive shaft (not shown) extending along the axis AX. The support mechanism 28 is fixed to the drive shaft, and when the support mechanism 28 rotates, the outer lottery unit 23 and the inner lottery unit 25 rotate integrally. A drive source 30 for rotating the rotary field 26 is fixed to the support mechanism 28. The drive source 30 rotates the rotating field 26 by rotating the transmission member 31 fixed to the rotating field 26. For this reason, the rotation field 26 can rotate independently of the outer lottery unit 23 and the inner lottery unit 25. In this embodiment, the rotation field 26 is driven in a reverse rotation with respect to the lottery units 23 and 25. The drive source 30 is supplied with power using a known technique such as a slip ring. The ball movement field 27 is fixed to the game machine 1.

  Each pocket 22 is provided with a ball detection sensor 32 for detecting the ball B that has entered. As the ball detection sensor 32, various sensors such as a contact sensor and a photoelectric sensor are applied as an example. The guide passage 24 of the outer lottery unit 23 has a width that allows the ball B to move. Here, in the guide passage 24, a sensor for detecting the entry of the ball B into the guide passage 24 is provided on the entrance side, and a stopper member for restricting the advance of the ball B to the rotation field 26 is provided on the exit side ( Neither is shown). When the sensor detects the entry of the ball B into the guide passage 24, the user is notified of this by display or voice to urge the user to pay attention to the guide passage 24. After a predetermined time has elapsed, the stopper member is lowered and the ball B To advance to the rotation field 26 of When the ball B enters one of the pockets 22, the ball B is recovered by the recovery mechanism 13. FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the recovery mechanism 13. The collection mechanism 13 is located below the support mechanism 28. 5 shows members rotated by the drive source 29 of the lottery mechanism 11 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 (outer lottery unit 23, inner lottery unit 25, support mechanism 28, rotation field 26, drive source 30, etc.). FIG. The recovery mechanism 13 includes a drop surface 41 on which the ball B that has passed through each pocket 22 falls, a collection unit 42 that collects the ball B dropped on the drop surface 41, and a supply path for supplying the ball B to the input mechanism 12 43 and a moving member 44 for moving the balls B one by one from the collecting section 42 to the supply path 43 are provided. The falling surface 41 is provided so as to be inclined so that the ball B can move to the collecting unit 42. A partition 45 is provided to prevent the ball B from entering other than the collecting unit 42. The moving member 44 is fixed to the drive shaft, receives the power of the drive source 29, and rotates integrally with the inner lottery unit 25 and the outer lottery unit 23. The moving member 44 is a plate-like member, and a plurality of pockets 44a for accommodating the balls B are provided at equal intervals. The balls B are accommodated one by one in each pocket 44a, move as the moving member 44 rotates, and are sequentially guided to the supply path 43. Thereby, it is possible to collect the balls B without clogging them.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the input mechanism 12. In FIG. 6, the station unit ST is omitted for convenience of explanation. A supply path 43 of the recovery mechanism 13 is connected to the input mechanism 12, and the balls B recovered from the lottery mechanism 11 are supplied. The throwing mechanism 12 is provided with a conveying member 51 that conveys the ball B and a drive source 52 that drives the conveying member 51. The conveying member 51 is a rod-like member provided with a screw 51a, and receives the power of the driving source 52 and rotates around the axis. The ball B is supplied from the supply path 43 to the screw 51a. The screw 51a rotates and the ball B moves upward. The moved ball B is thrown into the lottery field LF from the ball slot 21. The throwing mechanism 12 is provided so as to throw the ball B into the ball moving field 27 located outside the outer lottery unit 23. In addition to this, the rotation between the lottery units 23 and 25 is performed. A mechanism for throwing the ball B into the field 26 may be provided.

  Returning to FIG. 2, the station unit ST will be described. The station unit ST has a medal slot 61 for inserting medals, a monitor 62, a transparent touch panel 63 superimposed on the monitor 62, a card reader 65 for reading a card 64 owned by the user, and a medal for paying out medals. A discharge outlet 66 is provided. When the user inserts a medal into the medal slot 61, it is counted as a credit. The station unit ST provides a game in a range corresponding to credit consumption. In the station unit ST, a plurality of types of games are provided, and the user can select a game to play. As an example, games such as a bingo game, a block eraser game, and a digital pusher game are provided. Each game proceeds according to the lottery result in the center unit CN. Game operations are input via the touch panel 63. A liquid crystal display device is applied to the monitor 62 as an example. The monitor 62 and the touch panel 63 may be configured using a known technique. The card 64 is provided with a non-volatile storage medium (not shown) such as an IC chip or a magnetic stripe, and the medium includes unique user identification information (hereinafter also referred to as a card ID) for each card 64. To be recorded. The card ID is used as information for identifying the user of the game machine 1.

  A lottery process provided by the game machine 1 will be described. Based on the lottery result of the lottery executed at the center unit CN, that is, the result of which pocket 22 the ball B has entered into, the game progresses at each station unit ST. The lottery executed in the center unit CN is performed by inserting the ball B into the lottery field LF and selecting an element associated with the pocket 22 into which the ball B has entered. In the lottery at the center unit CN, a lottery unit is set in association with the throwing operation of the ball B. The lottery in lottery units is repeated unless a predetermined end condition is satisfied. As an example, the lottery unit is determined in association with the number of balls B inserted. For example, in the first lottery unit after the game starts, three balls B are inserted, and in the subsequent lottery unit, the balls B are inserted one by one. However, the lottery unit may be set as appropriate. The end condition is set in association with the number of times the lottery unit is repeated, the time, and the like. However, the number of repetitions of the lottery unit until the end condition is satisfied can be dynamically changed. These will be described later.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of the lottery field LF. The outer lottery unit 23 is assigned with a red element in the counterclockwise direction starting from the guide passage 24 (hereinafter referred to as a red pocket. Other colors are also indicated in the same manner) 22p, yellow pocket 22q. A green pocket 22r, a pink pocket 22s, a blue pocket 22t, and an out pocket 22u are arranged in this order. Since the guide passage 24 is provided in three places, three sets of these pockets 22p to 22u are also provided in total. The out pocket 22u is a pocket associated with the lottery end condition. For example, the termination condition is set such that the lottery is terminated when the ball B enters the out pocket 22u. The out attribute set in the out pocket 22u is also a kind of element selected by the lottery mechanism 11.

  On the other hand, the inner lottery section 25 is provided with five multi-color pockets 22v and one special pocket 22w arranged in the circumferential direction. Two-color elements selected from red, yellow, green, pink, and blue as the above-described elements are assigned to each of the multi-color pockets 22v. In the illustrated example, each of the five color elements is appropriately assigned to two multi-color pockets 22v. All colors are assigned to the special pocket 22w. The assignment of elements to the pockets 22 in the lottery units 23 and 25 can be modified as appropriate. For example, in the inner lottery unit 25, elements are allocated in the inner lottery unit 25 such that some colors are assigned to more pockets 22v than other colors, or elements of a single color are assigned to some pockets 22b. It may be changed. Even in the outer lottery unit 23, it is possible to change some pockets 22a as multi-color pockets 22v or special pockets 22w, or assign some colors to more pockets 22a than other colors.

  When the lottery is started, the lottery mechanism 11 repeatedly throws the ball B for each lottery unit, and the game proceeds in association with the color of the pocket 22 into which the ball B has entered. When the thrown ball B enters the out pocket 22u, the lottery ends. For example, the end condition may be set so as to be satisfied when the number of balls B inserted from the start of the lottery reaches a predetermined upper limit in addition to the entry of the ball B into the out pocket 22u. The ball B that has entered the pocket 22 falls on the dropping surface 41, is guided to the supply path 43 by the moving member 44, and is supplied to the throwing mechanism 12.

  On the other hand, in the station unit ST, a plurality of types of games are provided. The user selects one or more games, bets credits, and receives a reward corresponding to the result of the game executed in the station unit ST in association with the lottery result of the center unit CN. In the game machine 1, each of a plurality of users can play a plurality of games in parallel. On the monitor 62, game screens of various games are displayed. On the game screen, the game selected by the user is displayed so that the screen is divided or switched.

  The games provided by the station unit ST include games whose progress is controlled in association with lotteries using the lottery mechanism 11 and different lotteries. In the following, an example of such a game will be described.

  FIG. 8 shows the concept of game control in this embodiment. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, two lottery units, a first lottery unit 71 and a second lottery unit 72, are used as an example of element selection means (or element selection device). The first lottery unit 71 corresponds to an example of a first selection unit (or a first selection device), and the second lottery unit 72 corresponds to an example of a second selection unit (or a second selection device). The first lottery unit 71 includes the lottery mechanism 11 and the input mechanism 12 described above, and selects elements using a physical game medium. On the other hand, the second lottery unit 72 does not use the lottery mechanism 11 and selects elements by a mechanism different from that of the first lottery unit 72. For example, the second lottery unit 72 selects an element by executing electronic lottery using a random number or the like. The first lottery unit 71 selects any one of the red, yellow, green, pink, and blue colors attached to the pockets 22p to 22t and the out attribute attached to the out pocket 22u. However, when the ball B enters the multi-color pocket 22v of the inner lottery section 25, two colors set in the pocket 22v are simultaneously selected, and when the ball B enters the special pocket 22w, the above five colors are selected. Are treated as being selected at the same time. On the other hand, the element group as a candidate selected by the second lottery unit 72 does not necessarily match the element group as a candidate selected by the first lottery unit 71. A specific example of this point will be described later.

  The first lottery unit 71 and the second lottery unit 72 select elements in synchronization with each other. That is, when the first lottery unit 71 executes the element selection once, the second lottery unit 72 also executes the element selection once according to this. Elements selected by the lottery units 71 and 72 are appropriately transferred to a predetermined determination range 73. In FIG. 8, the elements transferred into the determination range 73 are represented by white circles, and are denoted by reference numeral 74. Hereinafter, it is expressed as an element 74. A predetermined number (six as an example) of elements 74 are accommodated in the determination range 73. The progress of the game is controlled in association with the combination of the elements 74 introduced into the determination range 73. For example, as an example of game progress control, it is determined whether or not a combination of elements 74 in the determination range 73 satisfies a predetermined winning condition, and when the winning condition is satisfied, a reward for the player is added. The game progresses.

  The element 74 selected by the first lottery unit 71 is transferred to the determination range 73 according to the first rule, and the element 74 selected by the second lottery unit 72 is determined by the second rule different from the first rule. It is carried in. For example, the first rule and the second rule are differentiated in association with the time length required from the selection of the element 74 until the element 74 is brought into the determination range 73. As a specific example, the first rule is that the element 74 selected by the first lottery unit 71 is transferred to the determination range 73 until the next element 74 is selected by the first lottery unit 71. To be set. In other words, the first rule is that each time an element 74 is selected by the first lottery unit 71, the element 74 is transferred to the determination range 73, and then the next element 74 is selected by the first lottery unit 71. As described above, the selection of the element 74 and the transfer of the element 74 to the determination range 73 are set to be sequentially repeated.

  On the other hand, the second rule is set so that the time length required for the element 74 selected by the second lottery unit 72 to be brought into the determination range 73 is larger than the above-described time length in the first lottery unit 71. Has been. Therefore, when the first lottery unit 71 and the second lottery unit 72 repeat selection of the element 74 in synchronization as described above, the element 74 selected by the first lottery unit 71 is transferred to the determination range 73. Until the next element 74 is selected by the first lottery unit 71, the elements 74 selected in parallel by the second lottery unit 72 are not transferred to the determination range 73 and are determined later. It is transferred to the range 73.

  As described above, if the rules for bringing the elements 74 selected by the lottery units 71 and 72 into the determination range 73 are differentiated, the lottery results by the lottery units 71 and 72 and the lottery results are determined within the determination range. A difference can be caused in the correspondence (for example, temporal or temporal correspondence) with the influence on the combination of the elements 74 in 73, that is, the influence on the progress of the game. For example, while the combination of the elements 74 in the determination range 73 is gradually changing in accordance with repetition of the lottery in the first lottery unit 71, the element 74 selected in the second lottery unit 72 is appropriately set in the determination range 73. By introducing it, irregularity can be caused in the change in the combination of the elements 74 in the determination range 73. Thereby, compared with the case where the elements 74 selected by the lottery units 71 and 72 are regularly and regularly transferred to the determination range 73, the monotonicity of the formation process of the element combination is suppressed or eliminated, and the game Can be diversified. It is difficult for a player who observes the process in which elements are selected in each of the lottery units 71 and 72 and then put them into the determination range, thereby making it difficult to predict the progress of the game, and thereby the player's expectation and tension The feeling also changes accordingly. This increases the interest of the game.

  FIG. 9 shows an example of a game screen to which the game control concept shown in FIG. 8 is applied. The illustrated game screen 100 includes an array display unit 101 and a payout display unit 102. An image of the table 103 is arranged on the array display unit 101. On the upper surface of the table 103, a standby column 104 extending so as to draw an arc along the rear edge of the table 103, and a determination column 105 extending so as to cross the table 103 in the diametrical direction left and right are set. The determination column 105 corresponds to an example of the determination range 73 in FIG. 8, and the standby column 104 is set as an example of a standby range that temporarily waits for an element to be transferred to the determination column 105.

  A plurality of cells 106 are set in each of the standby column 104 and the determination column 105. The cell 106 is displayed in a circular shape as an example. Each of the cells 106 is set as a place where the symbol 107 is placed. The symbol 107 represents the element 74 in FIG. 8 with an image, and corresponds to an example of the element. The symbols 107 arranged in the waiting queue 104 sequentially move one by one from the left end toward the right end as the lottery is repeated. The symbol 107 that has reached the rightmost square 106 in the waiting line 104 moves to the rightmost square 106 in the determination line 105. In the determination column 105, as the lottery is repeated, the symbols 107 sequentially move one by one from the right end toward the left end. The symbol 107 that has reached the leftmost cell 106 of the determination column 105 is excluded from the determination column 105 in exchange for the new symbol 107 being transferred to the rightmost cell 106 of the determination column 105. That is, the symbol 107 moves from left to right in the standby column 104, and the symbol 107 moves from right to left in the determination column 105. Hereinafter, the right end of the standby column 104 may be referred to as a front end and the left end may be referred to as a rear end, and the left end of the determination column 105 may be referred to as a front end, and the right end may be referred to as a rear end.

  The cell 106 may be in an empty state where the symbol 107 is not placed. In FIG. 9, the three cells 106 from the right end of the waiting queue 104 are empty. The reason why such an empty cell 106 is generated will be described later. The standby column 104 is provided with four cells 106, and the determination column 105 is provided with six cells 106. The type of symbol 107 will be described later.

  In the payout display section 102, a combination of symbols 107 that establish a winning condition in the determination column 105 and a reward given when the combination is formed are displayed in association with each winning condition. In the example of FIG. 9, “4 colors” is established when a combination including four symbols 107 of the same color is formed, and is established when a combination including five symbols 107 of the same color is formed. “5 colors”, “6 colors” established when a combination of six symbols 107 of the same color is formed, corresponding to the red, yellow, green, pink, and blue symbols 107p to 107t and the special pocket 22w. “6 colors”, which is established when a combination including one symbol 107w is formed, is set as a winning condition. The payout display section 102 displays the amount of credit (amount of payout) given to the player as an example of reward for each winning condition.

  The winning conditions are an example, and their settings can be changed as appropriate. For example, the winning condition may be set so as to be established when a predetermined number or more of the same color symbols 107 are continuously arranged in the determination column 105. Whether the symbol 107 arranged in the determination column 105 is the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 or the second lottery unit 72 may be associated with success or failure of the winning conditions. In the illustrated example, since the special symbol 107w is an element that can be selected by both the first lottery unit 71 and the second lottery unit 72, the value that the special symbol 107w exhibits for the success or failure of the winning condition in the determination column 105 is You may differentiate according to which lottery part 71 and 72 the special symbol 107w was selected.

  The number of credits as a reward may be changed as appropriate according to the progress of the game. As an example, the number of credits as a reward is appropriately changed such that the number of credits increases when a combination of symbols 107 in the determination sequence 105 satisfies a predetermined condition. In addition, the number of credits in the payout display unit 102 may be changed as appropriate according to the progress of the game. When the element 74 is selected by each of the lottery units 71 and 72, the symbol 107 corresponding to the selected element 74 is first arranged in the waiting line 104 on the game screen 100, and then, according to the first rule and the second rule. The symbol 107 is appropriately transferred to the determination column 105. That is, on the game screen 100, after the symbols 107 as an example of elements are selected in the first lottery units 71 and 72, the symbols 107 are transferred to the determination column 105 via the standby column 104 and determined. A series of processes in which the combination of the symbols 107 in the column 105 changes is presented to the player.

  Next, an example of a correspondence relationship between the lottery in the lottery units 71 and 72 and the arrangement of the symbols 107 in the standby column 104 and the determination column 105 will be described in more detail with reference to FIGS. 10A to 10J. In each of FIGS. 10A to 10J, standby queue 104 is drawn to extend straight in the left-right direction for simplicity. FIG. 10A shows an example of the arrangement of the symbols 107 in the determination column 105 and the standby column 104 at appropriate stages of the game. First, the types of symbols 107 that should be selection candidates in the lottery units 71 and 72 will be described. As is clear from the above description, the first lottery unit 71 strictly selects the color set in the pockets 22p to 22t, 22v, and 22w or the out attribute set in the out pocket 22u. However, since the color or attribute of the symbol 107 is selected according to the selection, the color or out attribute corresponds to the type of the symbol 107 on a one-to-one basis, and selecting the color or out attribute as a result This is the same as selecting the type of the symbol 107. Therefore, in the following, it is assumed that each of the first lottery unit 71 and the second lottery unit 72 selects any type of symbol 107 as an element.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, in the first lottery unit 71, a red symbol 107p, a yellow symbol 107q, a green symbol 107r, a pink symbol corresponding to each of the pockets 22p to 22t in the outer lottery unit 23 of the lottery mechanism 11 107s and blue symbol 107t, out symbol 107u corresponding to out pocket 22u, multiple color symbol 107v corresponding to each of multiple color pockets 22v of inner lottery unit 25, and special pocket 22w of inner lottery unit 25 The special symbol 107w to be selected is set as a candidate for an element to be selected. These symbols 107p to 107w correspond to an example of a first element group as a candidate selected by the first selection unit. In FIG. 10A, the correspondence between each of the pockets 22p to 22w and the symbols 107p to 107v is shown by matching alphabetic subscripts and hatching or filling. The same applies to FIGS. 10B to 10J. The special symbol 107w has a character string “SP”, and the out symbol 107u has a character string “OUT”.

  On the other hand, in the second lottery section 72, in addition to the special symbol 107w described above, an apple symbol 107d simulating an apple shape, an odds-up symbol 107e, and an outlier symbol 107f are set as candidate elements to be selected. These symbols 107w and 107d to 107f correspond to an example of a second element group as candidates to be selected by the second selection unit. There are a plurality of types of apple symbols 107d having different colors and the like, and influences and effects on the progress of the game (hereinafter collectively referred to as values) differ depending on the types. Differences indicate the types of the apple symbol 107d. In the following description, these types are collectively referred to as the apple symbol 107d. The odds up symbol 107e has a character string “UP” attached thereto.

  The apple symbol 107d and the odds-up symbol 107e are examples of additional elements that cannot be transferred to the determination column 105 alone but are transferred to the determination column 105 by being combined with the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71. Is set as The effect of the additional element will be described later. For example, the apple symbol 107d is displayed separately for each type depending on the color. Although FIG. 10A shows two types of apple symbols 107d, the types may be set to one type or three or more types. The out symbol 107f is an element having significance as a lot out in the second lottery unit 72. The outlier symbol 107 f is not arranged in either the standby column 104 or the determination column 105. Accordingly, the outlier symbol 107f corresponds to an example of an outlier element in the second element group, and the other symbols 107w, 107d, and 107e correspond to an example of a winning element. The special symbol 107w as a candidate for selection by the second lottery unit 72 corresponds to an example of a shared element in the second element group.

  Next, an example of a correspondence relationship between the lottery performed by the lottery units 71 and 72 and the change in the arrangement of the symbols 107 in the standby column 104 and the determination column 105 will be described. In the state of FIG. 10A, the mass 106 at the front end of the waiting line 104 is empty. When the symbol 107 (symbol 107 s in the illustrated example) is selected by the first lottery unit 71 from this state, the symbol 107 is arranged in the empty cell 106 at the tip of the waiting line 104. On the other hand, when the symbol 107 (apple symbol 107d in the illustrated example) is selected also in the second lottery unit 72 in synchronization with the lottery by the first lottery unit 71, the symbol 107 is further added to the cell 106 at the rear end of the waiting line 104. Once placed in the left empty space.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 10B, the symbol 107 arranged at the top cell 106 of the determination column 105, that is, the symbol 107 introduced into the determination column 105 at the earliest time is excluded from the determination column 105. The symbols 107 arranged on the squares 106 other than the leading end of the column 105 move so as to shift to the left by one square. As a result, the rightmost cell 106 of the determination column 105 is emptied, and the symbol 107 arranged in the cell 106 at the front end of the standby column 104 is transferred to the cell 106. Along with this, the symbol 107 moves so as to shift to the right by one square in the standby row 104, and the symbol 107 selected by the second lottery unit 72 is arranged in the square 106 at the rear end of the standby row 104. Is done. Note that when the outlier symbol 107 f is selected by the second lottery unit 72, the outlier symbol 107 f is not transferred to the waiting queue 104. In this case, the cell 106 at the rear end of the waiting queue 104 becomes an empty cell 106 as the symbol 107 in the waiting queue 104 moves.

  FIG. 10C shows a state after the symbol 107 has moved from the state of FIG. 10B. When the symbol 107 moves, it is determined whether or not the symbol 107 forms a combination that satisfies the winning condition in the determination column 105 after the movement. In the state of FIG. 10C, the winning condition is not satisfied because four or more symbols 107 of the same color are not included. In FIG. 10C, the special symbol 107 w is arranged at the leading cell 106 of the waiting queue 104, and the apple symbol 107 d is arranged at the trailing cell 106 of the waiting queue 104. 10A to 10C, since the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 is transferred to the determination column 105, the special located at the top cell 106 of the standby column 104 in FIG. 10C. The symbol 107 w is the symbol 107 that has been selected in the past by the second lottery unit 72.

  FIG. 10D to FIG. 10G show changes when the symbol 107 is selected by the first lottery unit 71 and the second lottery unit 72 next from the state of FIG. 10C. In the state of FIG. 10C, a symbol 107 is arranged on the cell 106 at the tip of the waiting line 104. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10D, the symbol (multi-color symbol 107v in the illustrated example) selected by the first lottery unit 71 is transferred to the second empty cell 106 from the front end of the waiting line 104. The symbol 107 selected by the second lottery unit 72 is the same as described above. In the example of FIG. 10D, since the outlier symbol 107f is selected by the second lottery unit 72, the symbol 107g is not actually transferred to the waiting queue 104. On the other hand, in the determination column 105, the symbol 107 is excluded from the leading square 106 and the other symbols 107 are shifted. Then, the special symbol 107w arranged in the square 106 at the front end of the waiting line 104 is transferred to the empty square 106 generated at the rear end of the determination line 105. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10E, the combination of the six symbols 107 arranged in the determination column 105 is updated, so that the success or failure of the winning condition is also determined here. However, even in FIG. 10E, the winning conditions are not satisfied. As the symbol 107 is transferred from the standby column 104 to the determination column 105, the leading edge 106 of the standby column 104 becomes empty, so that the symbol 107 moves in the standby column 104 so that the symbol 107 is shifted to the right by one cell. . As described above, in FIG. 10D, since the outlier symbol 107f is selected by the second lottery unit 72, the square 106 at the rear end of the waiting queue 104 becomes empty.

  In FIG. 10E, the multi-color symbol 107v arranged in the square 106 at the tip of the waiting line 104 is the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 at the current lottery opportunity. As described with reference to FIG. 8, the first rule is set so that each time the element 74 is selected by the first lottery unit 71, the element 74 is carried into the determination range 73. In order to satisfy the first rule, after the state of FIG. 10E is obtained, subsequently, as shown in FIG. 10F, the symbol 107 is excluded from the leading cell 106 in the determination column 105 and arranged in the other cells 106. The shifted symbol 107 is shifted, and the multi-color symbol 107v is transferred from the cell 106 at the front end of the standby column 104 to the empty cell 106 generated at the rear end of the determination column 105. Further, the symbol 107 is shifted in the waiting queue 104. As a result, the standby column 104 and the determination column 105 are changed to the state illustrated in FIG. 10G.

  By reaching the state of FIG. 10G, the combination of the symbols 107 in the determination sequence 105 is updated. Therefore, at the stage of FIG. 10G, the success or failure of the winning condition is determined again. In this state, a combination of symbols 107 including two green symbols 107r, one multi-color symbol 107v that can be used as green and yellow, and a special symbol 107w that can be used as all colors is formed. Therefore, it is determined that the winning condition of “4 colors” for green is satisfied.

  After reaching the state of FIG. 10G, the next lottery is performed in the first lottery unit 71 and the second lottery unit 72, and when the update of the standby column 104 and the determination column 105 corresponding thereto is completed, as shown in FIG. 10H. In addition, an apple symbol 107d as a kind of additional element moves to the cell 106 at the tip of the waiting line 104. When the state of FIG. 10G changes to the state of FIG. 10H, for example, if the first lottery unit 71 selects a green symbol 107r and the symbol 107r is transferred to the determination column 105, the determination column 105 In 105, a combination including three green symbols 107r, one multi-color symbol 107v that can be used as green and yellow, and a special symbol 107w that can be used as all colors is formed. Thereby, it is determined that the winning condition of “5 colors” for green is satisfied.

  FIG. 10I shows an example when the symbol 107 is further selected by the first lottery unit 71 and the second lottery unit 72 from the state of FIG. 10H. For example, if the blue symbol 107 t is selected by the first lottery unit 71, the blue symbol 107 t is temporarily transferred to the cell 106 at the tip of the waiting line 104 and combined with the apple symbol 107 d. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10J, a combined symbol 107c as an example of a combined element that is blue and has the value of the apple symbol 107d is generated in the cell 106 at the tip of the waiting queue 104. Along with the generation, in the determination column 105, the symbol 107 is excluded from the leading cell 106 and the other symbols 107 are shifted. The combined symbol 107 c generated in the standby column 104 is transferred to the empty cell 106 at the rear end of the determination column 105 as a kind of the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71. Also in this case, since the combination of the symbols 107 in the determination column 105 is updated, it is determined again whether the winning condition is successful.

  When the winning condition is satisfied with the combined symbol 107c included in the determination column 105, a reward corresponding to the value of the apple symbol 107d or the odds up symbol 107e as an additional element constituting the combined symbol 107c is generated. There are things to do. For example, when a winning condition for a symbol 107 related to the establishment of the winning condition, for example, “4 colors” for a specific color, is satisfied, the combination is performed on condition that at least a part of the specific color symbol 107 is a combined symbol 107c. The value of the additional element constituting the symbol 107c is exhibited. For example, when the combined symbol 107c includes the apple symbol 107d, the player acquires the apple symbol 107d as a reward. The apple symbol 107d gives the player an appropriate privilege such that, for example, when the player acquires a predetermined number, the player can proceed to a bonus game that may acquire a large amount of reward (that is, the expected value is high). It is an additional element that has value. When at least a part of the symbols 107 involved in the establishment of the winning conditions is a combined symbol 107c including the odds-up symbol 107e as an additional element, a privilege such as an increase in the number of credits displayed on the payout display unit 102 is given to the player. Is granted.

  As described above, according to the example shown in FIGS. 10A to 10J, when the symbol 107 is selected once by the first lottery unit 71 and the second lottery unit 72, the first lottery unit 71 The selected symbol 107 is necessarily transferred to the determination column 105 according to the first rule. On the other hand, the symbols 107 (except for the out symbol 107f) selected by the second lottery unit 72 proceed to the top cell 106 of the standby column 104, and then are determined according to the next lottery of the first lottery unit 71. 105. Therefore, after the symbol 107 is selected by the second lottery unit 72, the length of time required for the symbol 107 to be transferred to the determination column 105 is determined after the symbol 107 is selected by the first lottery unit 71. This is larger than the time length required for the symbol 107 to be transferred to the determination column 105. As a result, the symbol 107 selected by the second lottery unit 72 is transferred to the determination sequence 105 according to the second rule.

  The symbol 107 selected by the second lottery unit 72 gradually moves toward the mass 106 at the tip of the standby column 104 while the symbols 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 are sequentially transferred to the determination column 105. . Therefore, after the symbol 107 is selected by the second lottery unit 72, until the symbol 107 is transferred to the determination column 105, the symbol 107 has a symbol 107 corresponding to the repetition of the lottery by the first lottery unit 71. The combination changes sequentially. Since the symbol 107 selected by the second lottery unit 72 is delayed with respect to the change, irregularity occurs in the change in the combination of the symbols 107 in the determination sequence 105. The influence of the symbol 107 selected by the second lottery section 72 on the combination of the symbols 107 in the determination column 105, in other words, what value the determination column 105 exhibits will be described in detail. It is difficult to predict when the symbol 107 is selected by the lottery unit 72. Therefore, while the symbol 107 selected by the second lottery unit 72 moves within the waiting queue 104, the player's sense of expectation and tension changes appropriately.

  For example, when the special symbol 107w is selected by the second lottery unit 72, it may be advantageous for the establishment of the winning conditions, but the special symbol 107w advances to the top cell 106 of the waiting line 104 and at the next lottery opportunity. If the stage to be entered in the judgment sequence 105 or a stage close thereto is not reached, it is difficult to predict immediately whether or not a winning condition such as “four colors” is established by the special symbol 107w being introduced. Alternatively, the expectation of establishment of the winning condition increases as the special symbol 107w gradually moves in the standby column 104 in a state where a large number of the same color symbols 107 are arranged in the determination column 105. However, if the out symbol 107u is selected by the first lottery unit 71 before the winning conditions are established, no reward can be obtained. Therefore, the player watches the lottery of the first lottery unit 71 with expectation and anxiety so that the game does not end until the special symbol 107w is transferred to the determination column 105. Thereby, it is possible to improve the monotonousness of the progress of the game and appropriately change the player's expectation, tension, etc., and enhance the interest of the game.

  The symbols 107 transferred to the determination column 105 are sequentially excluded from the determination column 105 in the order that the transfer timing is early. That is, the period during which the symbol 107 affects the combination in the determination sequence 105 is finite. Therefore, even if a symbol 107 that can be advantageous to the player, such as the special symbol 107 w or the combined symbol 107 c, is inserted into the determination column 105, the winning condition is not changed while the symbol 107 is included in the determination column 105. If it is not satisfied, the player cannot enjoy the benefits brought about by that kind of symbol 107. Therefore, the player's expectation and tension can be changed more reliably.

  The candidate for the element selected by the second lottery unit 72 includes the special symbol 107w as an example of the shared element, or the apple symbol 107d and the odds up symbol 107e as examples of the additional element. When the symbol 107 selected by the unit 72 is transferred to the determination column 105, a situation advantageous to the player can be generated, and the player's expectation for reward acquisition can be further increased.

  Next, an example of the configuration of the control system of the game machine 1 for realizing the above-described game will be described. FIG. 11 is a functional block diagram illustrating the configuration of the main part of the control system of the game machine 1. The center unit CN of the game machine 1 is provided with a lottery control device 81 for controlling the lottery process. The lottery control device 81 is a logical device realized by a combination of computer hardware and software installed in the center unit CN of the game machine 1. The lottery control device 81 controls the operations of the lottery mechanism 11 and the throwing mechanism 12 and acquires information for determining which pocket 22 the ball B has entered from the lottery mechanism 11. The lottery control device 81 configures the first lottery unit 71 (see FIGS. 8 and 12) in cooperation with the lottery mechanism 11 and the throwing mechanism 12 by controlling the throwing operation of the ball B by the throwing mechanism 12. Each station unit ST is provided with a control device 82 and a storage device 83. Although the game machine 1 is provided with a plurality of station units ST, only one station unit ST is displayed in FIG. Each station unit ST has the same configuration. The lottery control device 81 and the control device 82 are connected to each other, and exchange data such as game results in the units CN and ST.

  The control device 82 of the station unit ST acquires the lottery result of the lottery controlled by the lottery control device 81 and controls the progress of each game. In addition, the control device 82 is connected to a monitor 62 provided on the station unit ST, a touch panel 63, a medal insertion sensor 61a for detecting medals, and a card reader 65. The card reader 65 reads information on the card 64 in which user identification information is recorded and outputs a signal corresponding to the information to the control device 82. The storage device 83 is an external storage device realized by a storage unit such as a hard disk array. The storage device 83 records play data 84 and a game program 85 for executing the game, as well as various data necessary for controlling the game and providing various services.

  The control device 82 is a computer that combines a microprocessing unit (MPU) as an example of a processor that executes various arithmetic processing and operation control according to a predetermined computer program, and an internal memory and other peripheral devices necessary for the operation. It is configured. The control device 82 is provided with the second lottery unit 72 and the game control unit 90 described above as logical devices realized by a combination of the hardware resources and the game program 85 as software resources. The second lottery section 72 is provided for each station unit ST. Therefore, the lottery result of the second lottery unit 72 is executed independently for each station unit ST. Therefore, the lottery result of the first lottery unit 71 is commonly applied to all the station units ST, whereas the lottery result of the second lottery unit 72 may be different for each station unit ST. As described above, the second lottery unit 72 may be configured as an electronic lottery device that randomly selects the symbols 107 by using random numbers or the like. Alternatively, a logical lottery device in which a physical lottery mechanism is replaced with a virtual lottery mechanism by software may be used as the second lottery unit 72. The probability that the second lottery unit 72 draws each of the symbols 107w, 107d, 107e, and 107f may be set as appropriate in consideration of the overall payout rate of the game machine 1. The probability may be controlled so as to dynamically change during operation of the game machine 1.

  FIG. 12 shows an example of a detailed configuration of the game control unit 90. The game control unit 90 is provided with an array control unit 91 and a progress control unit 92 as further logical devices. The array control unit 91 receives the lottery results from the lottery control device 81 and the second lottery unit 72 of the first lottery unit 71, and appropriately updates the arrays of the symbols 107 in the standby column 104 and the determination column 105 to generate array data. 93. The array data 93 is data that is stored on the internal storage device of the control device 82 and records the arrangement of the symbols 107 in each of the standby column 104 and the determination column 105.

  The progress control unit 92 advances the game in the station unit ST based on the arrangement of the symbols 107 in the determination sequence 105 recorded in the array data 93. The progress control unit 92 is provided with an evaluation unit 94 and a reward control unit 95 as further logical devices. The evaluation unit 94 evaluates the combination of symbols 107 in the determination sequence 105 based on the array data 93. For example, the evaluation unit 94 determines whether or not the combination of the symbols 107 in the determination sequence 105 recorded in the array data 93 satisfies the winning condition, and if the winning condition is satisfied, whether or not the combined symbol 107c is involved in the establishment. By executing such a determination process, the combination of the symbols 107 in the determination sequence 105 sequentially updated by the array control unit 91 is evaluated.

  The reward control unit 95 calculates a reward amount to be given to the player according to the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 94, and appropriately updates the reward data 96 according to the calculation result. The reward data 96 is held in the internal storage device of the control device 82 and is stored in the storage device 83 as necessary. The reward control unit 95 also executes a process of increasing or decreasing the payout amount for each winning condition according to the evaluation result of the evaluation unit 94. Note that the control device 82 detects a user's bed operation or the like via the touch panel 63, and reflects the operation in the progress of the game according to each processing of the operation processing unit, the array control unit 91, and the progress control unit 92. An image drawing unit that repeatedly draws the game screen 100 at a cycle corresponding to the frame rate of the monitor 62, a sound reproduction unit that generates a production sound according to the progress of the game, and the like are provided, but these are not shown. It should be noted that a series of processes illustrated in FIGS. 10A to 10J by the processing of the image drawing unit, that is, after the symbols 107 are drawn, the symbols 107 are transferred to the determination column 105 via the standby column 104 and are determined. The process of changing the combination of symbols 107 in 105 (the process of forming the combination of symbols 107) is sequentially presented to the player.

  Next, an example of processing executed by the game control unit 90 of the control device 82 to provide the games illustrated in FIG. 9 and FIGS. 10A to 10J will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, about the control of the lottery mechanism 11 and the throwing mechanism 12 by the lottery control device 81, as described above, a predetermined number of balls B are thrown into each lottery unit, and the balls B enter one of the pockets 22. The process of selecting the color of the pocket 22 as the lottery result is repeated until a predetermined end condition is satisfied. The number of balls B inserted for each lottery unit can be changed as appropriate, and the end condition is satisfied when the ball B enters the out pocket 22u as an example, but the number of balls B inserted reaches the upper limit. Even if it reaches, it is possible to change the lottery. These controls may be performed in the same manner as a known game machine, and detailed procedures are omitted. The second lottery unit 72 receives a lottery instruction every time the first lottery unit 71 executes a lottery, and selects any one symbol 107 from the symbols 107w and 107d to 107f in response to the instruction. It's enough. Therefore, description of the details of the control procedure of the second lottery unit 72 is also omitted.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of a game control process performed by the game control unit 90 in accordance with the lottery start of the first lottery unit 71 and the second lottery unit 72. The lottery control device 81 instructs the throwing mechanism 12 to start throwing the ball B and instructs the control device 82 to start the game. In response to the instruction, the second lottery unit 72 starts a lottery process synchronized with the first lottery unit 71, and the game control unit 90 starts the game control process of FIG. When the game control process is started, the array control unit 91 and the reward control unit 95 of the game control unit 90 first execute predetermined initial settings (step S1). By the initial setting, the game screen 100 illustrated in FIG. 9 is displayed on the monitor 62. In the initial setting, various internal parameters describing the progress of the game are set to initial values. For example, the array control unit 91 sets the array data 93 to a predetermined initial array state, and the reward control unit 95 sets the payout amount for each winning condition and the reward amount given to the player to initial values.

  In the initial setting, in the determination column 105, for example, three symbols 107 are arranged in order from the leading square 106. The reason why the three symbols 107 are initially arranged is that there is a possibility that a winning condition of “4-color” is satisfied when the symbol 107 first selected by the first lottery unit 71 is transferred to the determination column 105. This is to make it happen. The type of the symbol 107 arranged in the initial setting may be appropriately selected from the symbols 107 as selection candidates by the first lottery unit 71. The symbols 107 arranged by default may be limited to the symbols 107 selected when the ball B enters the outer lottery unit 23. Regarding the initial setting of the waiting queue 104, the symbols 107 appropriately selected from the symbols 107 as candidates for selection by the second lottery unit 72 may be arranged in the appropriate square 106, or all the squares in the waiting queue 104 may be set. 106 may be set to an empty state. Since six cells 106 are set in the determination column 105, when the number of symbols 107 arranged in the initial setting is four or less, two or more empty cells are present at the rear end side of the determination column 105. 106 occurs. In this case, the symbols 107 transferred to the determination column 105 are sequentially arranged so as to fill the empty cell 106 from the front end side, and after the six symbols 107 are arranged in the determination column 105, the symbols 107 are shown in FIG. Similarly, symbols 107 are successively transferred one by one to the cell 106 at the rear end of the determination column 105.

  When the initial setting is completed, the array control unit 91 acquires the lottery result from the first lottery unit 71 (step S2). Next, the array control unit 91 determines whether or not the outsymbol 107u has been selected by the first lottery unit 71 (step S3). If the out symbol 107u is not selected, the arrangement control unit 91 acquires the lottery result of the second lottery unit 72 (step S4). Thereby, the respective lottery results of the first lottery unit 71 and the second lottery unit 72 are taken into the game control unit 90. Thereafter, the array control unit 91 and the progress control unit 92 execute a lottery result process, and then the process returns to step S2. The processes of steps S2 to S5 are repeated until the out symbol 107u is selected by the first lottery unit 71. However, if the number of lotteries reaches a predetermined upper limit value, an affirmative determination may be made in step S3. If an affirmative determination is made in step S3, the game control unit 90 finalizes the game result at that time (step S6), and ends the process of FIG.

  14 and 15 show an example of the lottery result process performed in step S5 of FIG. In the lottery result process, first, the array control unit 91 determines whether or not the top cell 106 of the standby queue 104 is empty based on the array data 93 (step S11). A symbol 107 as an element selected by the lottery unit 71 is arranged (step S12). Next, the array control unit 91 determines whether or not the number of symbols 107 in the determination sequence 105 is less than the upper limit of 6 (step S13). If the number of symbols has reached the upper limit value, the array control unit 91 excludes the symbol 107 arranged at the top cell 106 of the determination sequence 105 from the determination sequence 105 (step S14), and the other determination sequence 105 The symbol 107 is moved leftward by one square (step S15). Subsequently, the array control unit 91 feeds the symbol 107 arranged in the leading cell 106 of the standby column 104 to the trailing cell 106 of the determination column 105 (step S16). If it is determined in step S13 that the number of symbols 107 in the determination column 105 is less than the upper limit value, the array control unit 91 skips steps S14 and S15 and proceeds to step S16. In this case, since there is a blank cell 106 on the left side of the trailing edge cell 106 of the determination column 105, the symbol 107 transferred to the determination column 105 is in an empty state on the leading end side (left side). In step S16, a process of further moving within the determination column 105 is performed so that the next cell 106 does not exist.

  After that, the array control unit 91 moves the symbols 107 arranged in the standby column 104 to the right by one square (step S17). Next, the array control unit 91 takes the symbol 107 selected by the second lottery unit 72 into the standby column 104 and arranges it on the cell 106 at the rear end (step S18). However, when the outlier symbol 107f is selected by the second lottery unit 72, the taking-in is skipped, and the square 106 at the rear end of the waiting queue 104 is made empty. Through the processing up to this point, the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 is transferred to the determination column 105, and the symbol 107 selected by the second lottery unit 72 is taken into the standby column 104, and the standby column 104 and The arrangement of the symbols 107 in each determination column 105 is once determined. Therefore, the array control unit 91 updates the array data 93 so that the arrangement at the end of step S18 is recorded (step S19). In addition, when step S11 is affirmed and processing proceeds sequentially to steps S12 to S18, the standby column 104 and the determination column 105 sequentially change as illustrated in FIGS. 10A to 10C.

  If it is determined in step S11 that the cell 106 at the front end of the waiting queue 104 is not empty, that is, the symbol 107 is placed, the arrangement control unit 91 determines whether or not the symbol 107 is the special symbol 107w. Is determined (step S20). In the case of the special symbol 107w, the arrangement control unit 91 arranges the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 with respect to the cell 106 located at the most front end among the empty cells 106 in the waiting queue 104 ( Step S21), and then proceeds to step S13. In this case, in step S <b> 16, the special symbol 107 w is transferred to the determination column 105, and the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 remains in the standby column 104. For example, a case where the waiting column 104 and the determination column 105 are changed from FIG. 10C to 10E is an example. In the subsequent processing, the symbol 107 at the front end of the waiting line 104 is also transferred to the determination line 105, which will be described later.

  If it is determined in step S20 that the leading symbol 107 of the waiting queue 104 is not the special symbol 107w, the array control unit 91 determines that the symbol 107 is the apple symbol 107d or the odds up symbol 107e as an additional element. Judgment is made and the symbol 107 of the additional element is combined with the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 to generate a combined symbol 107c (step S22). After generating the combined symbol 107c, the array control unit 91 advances the process to step S13. In this case, the combined symbol 107c is transferred to the determination column 105 in step S16. When both step S11 and step S20 are negatively determined and the process proceeds to step S13 via step S22, the standby column 104 and the determination column 105 change as shown in FIGS. 10H to 10J, for example.

  When the array data 93 is updated in step S19, the lottery result process proceeds to step S23 in FIG. In step S <b> 23, the array control unit 91 notifies the evaluation unit 94 of the update of the array data 93, and the evaluation unit 94 that has received this notifies the combination of the symbols 107 in the determination sequence 105 based on the updated array data 93. It is determined whether or not the winning condition is satisfied. When the winning condition is satisfied, the evaluation unit 94 determines whether or not the combined symbol 107c is included in the symbol 107 involved in the satisfaction of the winning condition (step S24).

  The determination results of step S23 and step S24 are provided to the reward control unit 95. When the winning condition is established and the symbol 107 involved in the establishment includes the combined symbol 107c (both steps S23 and S24 are “Yes”), the reward control unit 95 includes the additional element included in the combined symbol 107c. A reward corresponding to the apple symbol 107d or the odds-up symbol 107e is generated (step S25), and thereafter, the player is given a credit amount corresponding to the winning combination (for example, “4-color” combination). Data 96 is updated (step S26). Even if the winning condition is established, the reward control unit 95 skips step S25 if the symbol 107 involved in the establishment does not include the combined symbol 107c (“Yes” in step S23, “No” in S24). Proceed to step S26. If the winning condition is not satisfied (“No” in step S23), the processes of steps S25 and S26 by the reward control unit 95 are both skipped.

  If the process of step S26 is completed or if a negative determination is made in step S23, the lottery result process proceeds to step S27. In step S <b> 27, the array control unit 91 determines whether or not the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 in the current process is transferred to the determination sequence 105. If the symbol 107 has been transferred to the determination column 105, the lottery result process corresponding to the current lottery is completed, and the process in the game control unit 90 returns to step S2 in FIG. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S27 that the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 has not yet been transferred to the determination sequence 105, the arrangement control unit 91 advances the processing to step S28 and subsequent steps. From this point on, the special symbol 107w selected by the second lottery unit 72 moves to the top cell 106 of the standby column 104, and the symbol 107 is transferred to the determination column 105 in the process of step S16 of FIG. If it is, the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 is subsequently transferred to the determination sequence 105. That is, this is processing for realizing the changes in FIGS. 10C to 10G.

  When the process proceeds to step S28, the array control unit 91 determines whether or not the number of symbols 107 in the determination sequence 105 is less than the upper limit of 6. If the number of symbols has reached the upper limit value, the array control unit 91 excludes the symbol 107 arranged at the top cell 106 of the determination column 105 from the determination column 105 (step S29), and in the other determination column 105 The symbol 107 is moved leftward by one square (step S30). Subsequently, the array control unit 91 feeds the symbol 107 arranged in the leading cell 106 of the standby column 104 to the trailing cell 106 of the determination column 105 (step S31). If it is determined in step S28 that the number of symbols 107 in the determination sequence 105 is less than the upper limit value, the arrangement control unit 91 skips steps S29 and S30 and proceeds to step S31. In this case, since there is a blank cell 106 on the left side of the trailing edge cell 106 of the determination column 105, the symbol 107 transferred to the determination column 105 is in an empty state on the leading end side (left side). In step S31, a process of further moving within the determination column 105 is performed so that the next cell 106 does not exist.

  Thereafter, the array control unit 91 moves the symbols 107 arranged in the standby column 104 to the right by one square (step S32). Next, the array controller 91 updates the array data 93 so that the arrangement at the end of step S32 is recorded (step S33), and then returns to step S23. The process of step S28 is repeated until an affirmative determination is made in step S27, that is, until the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 is transferred to the determination sequence 105. If two or more special symbols 107w are continuously arranged from the leading edge 106 of the standby row 104 toward the rear end side, all of the special symbols 107w are included in the determination row 105 in the process of FIG. The symbols 107 that have been brought in and then drawn by the first lottery unit 71 are put into the determination column 105. When only one symbol 107 selected by the second lottery unit 72 is transferred to the determination column 105, the process of step S21 of FIG. 14 is temporarily suspended, and the leading edge of the standby column 104 is blocked in step S16. The symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 may be arranged in the empty cell 106 at the front end of the standby column 104 generated when the 106 symbols 107 are transferred to the determination column 105. Further, when affirmative determination is made in step S20, if the symbols 107d and 107e as the additional elements are arranged in the second and subsequent squares 106 from the front end of the waiting queue 104, these symbols 107d and 107e are independent. Since it cannot be transferred to the determination column 105, the combined symbol 107c may be generated in the step S21.

  In the above embodiment, the game control unit 90 in the control device 82 functions as an example of the game control means, and the array control unit 91 of the game control unit 90 performs the first operation in step S13 in FIG. 13 or step S31 in FIG. The lottery unit 71 functions as an example of an element transfer unit by transferring the symbol 107 selected to the determination column 105, and by excluding the symbol 107 in step S14 of FIG. 14 or step S29 of FIG. It serves as an example. Further, the progress control unit 92 functions as an example of the progress control means by executing the processing of steps S23 to S26 of FIG.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and its modifications, and can be implemented in various forms. For example, in the above embodiment, the symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 is temporarily placed in the standby column 104 and then transferred to the determination column 105, but the process via the standby column 104 is omitted, The symbol 107 selected by the first lottery unit 71 is immediately transferred to the determination column 105 every time the selection is made, and the symbol 107 selected by the second lottery unit 72 is transferred to the determination column 105. You may make it function only as a waiting range until. In that case, the standby range is not limited to the example in which the elements are arranged in a line as in the standby line 104, and may be changed so as to accommodate the symbols 107 selected by the second lottery unit 72 in an appropriate arrangement. The number of symbols 107 accommodated in the standby queue 104 (the number of cells 106) is not limited to the illustrated example, and may be changed as appropriate.

  The determination range is not limited to the above form and can be changed as appropriate. For example. In the above embodiment, the determination column 105 that arranges elements in a line within a predetermined upper limit value is set as an example of the determination range, but two or more determination columns 105 may be set as the determination range. The number of elements arranged in the determination range is not limited to six and may be changed to a suitable number. The process of excluding elements may be omitted without setting an upper limit for the number of elements in the determination range. Even when excluding an element, it is not limited to an example of excluding in order from the earliest time entered in the judgment range, for example, selecting an element to be excluded from the judgment range at random, or giving priority to an element with a low value within the judgment range Thus, elements to be excluded from the determination range may be determined as appropriate.

  The first rule and the second rule are not limited to the above forms as long as a difference occurs between them, and appropriate changes can be made. For example, in the above embodiment, every time the symbol 107 is selected by the first lottery unit 71, the symbol 107 selected by the second lottery unit 72 is sequentially moved toward the front end of the waiting line 104. With respect to the symbol 107 selected by the second lottery unit 72, the time when the number of lotteries in the first lottery unit 71 reaches a predetermined number arrives in the determination column 105. As a result, the time length from when an element is selected until it is put into the determination range is differentiated between the first rule and the second rule, but even when both rules are differentiated from the viewpoint of time length. For example, after the element is selected by the first selection unit, the selection element of the second selection unit may be moved into the determination range when a predetermined waiting time has elapsed, so that a time difference may be generated at the timing of the transfer. . The first rule and the second rule are not limited to examples set in association with time. For example, the elements selected by the first selection unit are sequentially transferred to the determination range according to the selection order, and the elements selected by the second selection unit are pooled in a standby range such as the standby column 104. Alternatively, any element may be appropriately selected from the pooled elements and may be included in the determination range. In this case, for example, it may not be excluded that an element selected by each of the first selection unit and the second selection unit may be simultaneously brought into the determination range. While the first selection means sequentially selects a plurality of elements and these elements are sequentially transferred to the determination range, the second selection means selects a different number of elements from the first selection means, and appropriately selects those elements. It is also possible to differentiate and set the first rule and the second rule, such as putting in the determination range at the timing.

  The first element group as a candidate for the element selected by the first selection means and the second element group as a candidate for the element selected by the second selection means can be appropriately changed. For example, in the above embodiment, the special symbol 107w is set as an element that is included in both the first element group and the second element group, but the first element group and the second element group are The elements may be set so as not to overlap between the two groups, or all the elements may be set to match between the two groups.

  In the above embodiment, the first lottery unit 71 using the physical lottery mechanism 11 as the first selection means or the first selection device is used, and the electronic selection lottery is performed using a random number or the like as the second selection means or the second selection device. Although the 2nd lottery part 72 to perform was used, an element selection means or an element selection apparatus is not limited to such a form. Both the first selection means and the second selection means may be configured to use a physical lottery mechanism, or both may be configured to execute electronic lottery. When an electronic lottery is executed, the probability of the lottery may be controlled in consideration of the payout rate as described above, or the probability of the lottery may be controlled by reflecting the skill of the player. At least one of the first selection unit and the second selection unit selects an element according to some input information, such as selecting an element in response to a player's operation without randomly selecting an element. It may be configured as follows. Some regularity may be set for element selection. Even in such a case, by appropriately differentiating and setting the first rule or the second rule for bringing the selected element into the determination range, the combination of the elements in the determination range is given irregularity and the game progresses. It is possible to diversify.

  The first selection unit and the second selection unit are not limited to the example of selecting an element in synchronization with each other, and both selection units can be appropriately changed as long as the selection unit repeatedly selects an element. For example, the first selection unit and the second selection unit may be configured to repeat the selection at different periods, or at least one of the selection units may be configured to have an indefinite cycle of repeating the selection. Good.

  In the above embodiment, the progress control unit 92 as an example of the progress control means evaluates the combination of the symbols 107 in the determination sequence 105 and advances the game by generating a reward or a privilege according to the evaluation result. The progress of the game is not limited to such an example. The progress of the game only needs to be controlled in association with the combination of elements in the determination range, and is not limited to the generation of rewards, etc., and the player's superiority such as game score, game status and grade, ranking among players, etc. The game may be advanced by a means for increasing a parameter that can be an index indicating the above. Alternatively, the progress of the game may be controlled in such a manner that the progress of the game is controlled in association with a combination of elements.

  In the above embodiment, an example is shown in which the game system is configured as an arcade game machine that shares the center unit CN among a plurality of station units ST, but the game system of the present invention is not limited to such an example. For example, the present invention may be applied to a network-type game system in which element selection means is shared among a plurality of terminal devices connected via a network. Alternatively, the present invention may be applied to a game machine in which an element selection unit is not shared among a plurality of terminal devices, and a single input / output unit for the player and the element selection unit are associated one-to-one.

  Various aspects of the present invention derived from each of the above-described embodiments and modifications will be described below. In the following description, in order to facilitate understanding of each aspect of the present invention, the corresponding components illustrated in the attached drawings are added in parentheses, but the present invention is thereby limited to the illustrated embodiments. It is not something.

  The game system (1) according to one aspect of the present invention includes an element selection means (71, 72) for selecting any element from a plurality of elements (for example, symbols 107p to 107w, 107d to 107f), and the element selection. A game control means (90) for controlling the game in association with the selection of the element by means, wherein the element selection means includes a first set in at least a part of the plurality of elements. A first selection unit (71) that repeatedly selects one element from one element group (symbols 107p to 107w as an example), and a second element group (as an example) set in at least a part of the plurality of elements Second selection means (72) for repeatedly selecting any element from the symbols 107d to 107f), and the game control means includes the first selection means (72). The element selected by the selection means is transferred to a predetermined determination range (73, 105) according to a predetermined first rule, while the element selected by the second selection means is different from the first rule. Element transfer means (91, S16, S31) for transferring to the determination range according to the rules, and progress control means (92, S23 to S26) for controlling the progress of the game in association with the combination of the elements within the determination range. , With.

  A computer program (85) for a game system according to one aspect of the present invention includes element selection means (71, 72) for selecting any element from a plurality of elements (for example, symbols 107p to 107w, 107d to 107f). The element selection means includes first selection means (71) for repeatedly selecting any element from a first element group (eg, symbols 107p to 107w) set in at least a part of the plurality of elements. And a second selection means (72) for repeatedly selecting any element from a second element group (for example, symbols 107d to 107f) set in at least a part of the plurality of elements. A game control hand for controlling the game by associating the computer (82) of (1) with selection of the element by the element selection means. (90), wherein the game control means feeds the element selected by the first selection means into a predetermined determination range (73, 105) according to a predetermined first rule, Element transfer means (91, S16, S31) for transferring the element selected by the second selection means into the determination range according to a second rule different from the first rule, and a combination of the elements within the determination range And is configured to function as a progress control means (92, S23 to S26) for controlling the progress of the game in association with.

  A game system (1) according to another aspect of the present invention includes an element selection device (71, 72) for selecting any element from a plurality of elements (for example, symbols 107p to 107w, 107d to 107f), A game system including a storage device (83) that stores a computer program (85), and a processor (82) that is connected to the element selection device and the storage device and executes predetermined processing based on the computer program. The element selection device includes a first selection device (71) that repeatedly selects any one element from a first element group (for example, symbols 107p to 107w) set in at least a part of the plurality of elements. And a second element group (for example, symbols 107d to 107f) set in at least a part of the plurality of elements. A second selection device (72) that repeatedly selects one of the elements, and the processor controls the game in association with the selection of the element by the element selection device based on the computer program, In the control, the element selected by the first selection means is transferred to a predetermined determination range (73, 105) according to a predetermined first rule, while the element selected by the second selection means is In accordance with a second rule different from the first rule, the game is entered into the determination range, and the progress of the game is controlled in association with the combination of elements within the determination range.

  According to the game system and the computer program of the above aspect, the rules for transferring the elements selected by the first selection means and the second selection means (or the first selection device and the second selection device) into the determination range are differentiated. Therefore, there is a difference in the correspondence between the selection results of the first selection means and the second selection means and the influence of the selection results on the combination of elements in the determination range, that is, the influence on the progress of the game. Can be generated. For example, while gradually changing the combination of elements in the determination range in accordance with repeated selection in one of the first selection means or the second selection means, the element selected by the other selection means is appropriately changed. It is possible to make a difference such as bringing it into the determination range. If such a difference is set, irregularity can be caused in the change in the combination of elements in the determination range. Compared to the case where the elements selected by both selection means are regularly added to the determination range, the monotonicity of the formation process of the combination of elements is suppressed or eliminated and the diversity of the game progress is increased. Can do. Therefore, it is difficult for a player who observes the formation process of the combination to predict the progress of the game, and the player's sense of expectation and tension changes appropriately. Therefore, the interest of the game can be enhanced.

  Note that the computer program according to one embodiment of the present invention may be provided in a state of being stored in a storage medium. By using this storage medium, for example, by installing and executing the computer program according to the present invention in a computer, the game system of the present invention can be realized using the computer. The storage medium storing the computer program may be a non-transitory storage medium such as a CDROM.

  In the above aspect, the first rule may be set so that each time the element is selected by the first selection unit, the element is sequentially transferred to the determination range. According to this, each time an element is selected by the first selection means, the selected element is transferred to the determination range, and the combination of elements in the determination range is changed regularly. By appropriately bringing the selected element into the determination range according to the second rule, irregularity can be given to the change in the combination of the elements.

  The second rule is that after the element is selected by the second selection unit, the time length required for the element to be brought into the determination range is after the element is selected by the first selection unit. You may set so that it may become larger than the time length required for the said element to be carried in to the said determination range. According to this, after the element selected by the second selection unit is relatively long because the time length required until the element selected by the second selection unit is transferred to the determination range, the element is selected. It is possible to ensure a relatively long period of time until it is transferred to the determination range and involved in the combination of elements in the determination range. In the meantime, by changing the combination of the elements in the determination range according to the element selected by the first selection means, the influence of the element selected by the second selection means on the progress of the game is appropriately changed, thereby It is possible to enhance the interest of the game by changing the player's expectation and tension.

  The game control means includes an element excluding means (91, S14, S14, S14) that excludes a part of the elements within the determination range from the determination range when the number of the elements within the determination range exceeds a predetermined upper limit value. S29) may be further provided. According to this, since the number of elements within the determination range is limited within the upper limit value, the combination of elements within the determination range can be reliably changed as the elements are transferred to the determination range.

  The element excluding means may exclude the element excluding the determination range in order from the element with the earliest time to enter the determination range. Along with the introduction of elements into the judgment range, elements that were introduced earlier in the judgment range are sequentially excluded, so that the period during which the elements introduced into the judgment range affect the progress of the game is limited. As a result, it is possible to change the sense of expectation and tension regarding the formation of the combination of elements more reliably.

  The second element group includes an out element (an out symbol 107f as an example) and a hit element (as an example, symbols 107w, 107d, and 107e), and the element feeding means includes only the hit element in the second element group. You may carry in to the said determination range according to a rule. According to this, when a deviating element is selected by the second selection means, the deviating element is not involved in the combination of elements in the determination range, and only when the winning element is selected, the winning element is the second element. In accordance with the rules, it is put into the judgment range, and the combination of elements is changed. Therefore, it is possible to cause further irregularity with respect to transfer of the element selected by the second selection means to the determination range.

  The second element group may include a shared element (as an example, the symbol 107w) that can be used as at least two elements included in the first element group when brought into the determination range. . According to this, when the shared element selected by the second selection means is transferred to the determination range, the shared element is effective as at least two elements, and therefore advantageous for forming a combination of elements in the determination range. A situation arises. Therefore, it is possible to increase the player's expectation regarding the selection of the element in the second selection means and the transfer of the selected element to the determination range.

  In the second element group, an additional element (symbol as an example) that is added to any element in the determination range to generate one combined element (symbol 107c as an example) when it is included in the determination range. 107d, 107e), and when the predetermined combination including the coupling element is formed, the progress control means causes a special influence on the progress of the game (for example, generation of a privilege in step S26). Also good. According to this, it is possible to generate further diversity in the progress of the game through selection of the additional element and transfer of the combined element generated based on the additional element to the determination range.

  The progress control means may generate a reward when a combination that satisfies a predetermined condition (for example, a winning condition in step S23) is formed within the determination range. According to this, it is possible to reliably increase the player's expectation for the formation of the combination of elements by associating the combination of elements in the determination range with the reward.

  Each of the first selection unit and the second selection unit may select the element by lottery. According to this, the randomness by the lottery can be used to secure the chance or the inertia in the progress of the game, and the fun of the game can be further enhanced accordingly.
