In the present embodiment, the third article providing device 10c and the fourth article providing device 10d are described as being not used in the game and being able to purchase the article 2 that can be used in the game for a fee. However, it is also possible to make it used in the game.

The game starts when the game information held by the article 2 is read by the reading unit 52a and the game device 1 acquires the game information. It should be noted that the game may be started on the condition that the reading unit 52a acquires the game information of the article 2 having no reading restriction, without the condition of payment of the consideration. In such a case, as an article having no reading restriction, for example, an article in which game information has been acquired even once in the game device 1 can be mentioned. Further, the article 2 for acquiring the game information may be any of the medal 2a, the medal 2c, and the bottle 2b, but may be limited to a specific type of article such as the medal 2a and the medal 2c. As shown in FIG. 4, when starting (step SAS), the article 2 is applied to the reading unit 52a of the operation panel 51. As a result, the acquisition unit 63 acquires the game information held by the article 2 (step SA1). When the acquisition unit 63 can acquire two or more game information held by the article 2, and the control unit 60 does not acquire the game information held by the article 2 according to the number of articles 2 for which the game information has been acquired. It is controlled so that the possibility of becoming the first state, the second state, or the third state described later is higher than that of the above. Therefore, when reading the game information, the number of articles 2 for which the game information has been acquired is counted.

Assuming that the article 2 is a medal 2a, as shown in FIG. 5, when the game starts (step SBS), the number of medals 2a for which game information has been acquired is counted (step SB1). Then, when the number of medals 2a for which the game information has been acquired is one (step SB2), the control unit 60 determines the first state, the second state, or the third state in the subsequent control. It is memorized that the probability of becoming is controlled to be relatively lower than that when the number of medals 2a for which game information has been acquired in step SB2 is two or more (step SB3), and the process ends (step SBE). ). When the number of medals 2a for which game information has been acquired is two (step SB4), the control unit 60 determines the first state, the second state, or the third state in the subsequent control. The probability of becoming is relatively higher than when the number of medals 2a for which game information has been acquired in step SB2 is 1, and the number of medals 2a for which game information has been acquired in step SB2 is 3 or more. It is memorized that the control is performed so that the probability is relatively lower than the time (this state is referred to as a medium probability in FIG. 5) (step SB5), and the process ends (step SBE). Further, when the number of medals 2a for which the game information has been acquired is three (step SB6), the control unit 60 determines the first state, the second state, or the third state in the subsequent control. It is memorized that the probability of becoming is controlled to be relatively higher than that when the number of medals 2a for which game information has been acquired in step SB2 is 2 or less (step SB7), and the process ends (step SBE). ). Here, the case of acquiring one or more game information of the medal 2a has been described, but it is not always necessary to acquire the game information of the article 2 in the step SB2 after the start (step SBS), and the game of the article 2 is acquired. It is also possible to finish the flow of FIG. 5 without acquiring the information. In that case, the probability of being in the first state, the second state, or the third state does not change.

Although FIG. 5 is shown as a flowchart when the article 2 is the medal 2a, the article 2 from which the game information is acquired may be the bottle 2b. In that case, even when the game information of the bottle 2b is acquired in step SB2, the probability of being in the first state, the second state, or the third state is changed as in the flowchart shown in FIG. Is possible. On the other hand, when the game information of the bottle 2b is acquired in step SB2, the number of bottles 2b from which the game information can be acquired may be different from the number of medals 2a from which the game information can be acquired. For example, the number of bottles 2b from which game information can be acquired in step SB2 can be limited to one. In that case, it is possible to control so that the probability of being in the first state, the second state, or the third state is higher than in the case where the game information of the bottle 2b is not acquired in step SB2. In this way, it is possible to further improve the fun of the game by providing a plurality of types and numbers of articles that can change the probability of becoming the first state, the second state, or the third state. Become. Further, by making the number of articles for which game information can be acquired different depending on the type of articles in order to change the probability of becoming the first state, the second state, or the third state, the game can be further changed. It is possible to improve the interest.

Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the operation of the button 52b based on the display of the display unit 53 selects one of the first mode and the second mode (step SA2). In the first mode, there is a possibility that the medal 2a will be won as a product according to the play of the game, and when the first mode is selected, a lottery which is a game is performed (step SA3). As a result of the lottery, when the first hit state is reached (step SA4), the medal 2a, which is the first type of article, is conditioned on the operation of the first operation input unit 41a. It is provided free of charge from the article providing device 10a (step SA5) and ends (step SAE).

In the lottery of step SA3, when the fourth state is reached, which is a loss without hitting anything (step SA6), the process ends without any provision (step SAE).
That is, in the first mode, there is a possibility that the medal 2a, which is an article of the first type, is hit by either the first state or the fourth state, which is a loss.

On the other hand, in the mode selection of step SA2, when the second mode in which the bottle 2b may hit as a product according to the game play is selected, a lottery which is an example of the game is performed (step SA7). As a result of the lottery, if the second state is reached (step SA8), the consideration is paid (step SA9). When the consideration is paid, the bottle 2b, which is the second type of article, is provided from the article providing device 10b for a fee, subject to the operation of the second operation input unit 41b (step SA10). Finish (step SAE). If no consideration is paid in step SA9, nothing is provided and the process ends (step SAE).

Further, when the result of the lottery in step SA7 is the third state, which is the third hit (step SA11), the medal 2a, which is the first type of article, is free of charge for the first article providing device. Provided from 10a (step SA12) and finished (step SAE). That is, even if the second mode in which the bottle 2b can be hit is selected, there is a possibility that the medal 2a, which is an article of the first type that can be obtained in the first mode, can be hit.
On the other hand, if the result of the lottery in step SA7 is a fourth state of loss (step SA6), the process ends without any provision (step SAE).
That is, in the second mode, the second state in which the bottle 2b, which is the second type of article, is hit, the third state in which the medal 2a, which is the first type of article, is hit, and the fourth state, which is a loss. Can be either.

Further, when the third article providing device 10c and the fourth article providing device 10d are not used in the game, the third article providing device 10c and the third article providing device 10d can receive a medal 2c, which is a third type of article different from the medal 2a and the bottle 2b. It can be provided from the outlet 15c. However, the medal 2c is provided from the third outlet 15c on condition that the consideration is paid and the operation of the third operation input unit 41c is performed.
The medal 2c, which is an article of the third type, can have the same shape as the medal 2a, which is an article of the first type.

Next, the actions and effects of the game device, the program, and the game system according to the present embodiment will be described.
