If it is good. In addition, the CTC 508 may incorporate, for example, an 8-bit programmable counter with 4 channels (PCC0 to PCC3). Each of the programmable counters PCC0 to PCC3 is only required to have its count value updated in response to a signal change of the internal system clock SCLK or occurrence of a timeout in any of the programmable counters PCC0 to PCC3. The CTC 508 resets the start time of the random number generated by the free run counter used for randomly determining the extension time (variable setting time) for extending the security time for each system reset or the random number circuit 509. A free-run counter or the like that is used to randomly determine each time may be included. Alternatively, these free-run counters may be included in an internal circuit of the main control unit 41 different from the CTC 508 such as a backup area of the RAM 507, for example.

In the present embodiment, on the game control board 40 side, numerical data indicating a random value for internal lottery to be described later is controlled to be countable. In addition, in order to improve a game effect, random numbers other than these may be used. The CPU 505 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 509 based on the numerical data extracted from the random number circuit 509 to process or update various numerical data by software, thereby indicating numerical data indicating a random value for internal lottery. May be counted. In the following, it is assumed that numerical data indicating random numbers for internal lottery is not processed by software from numerical data extracted by the CPU 505 from the random number circuit 509 serving as hardware. The random number circuit 509 may be incorporated in the main control unit 41 or may be externally attached to the main control unit 41 as a random number circuit chip different from the main control unit 41. .

For example, the ROM 506 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables, determination tables, setting tables, and the like prepared for the CPU 505 to perform various determinations, determinations, and settings. The ROM 506 stores table data constituting a plurality of command tables used for the CPU 505 to transmit control signals serving as various control commands from the game control board 40.

  The RAM 507 provided in the main control unit 41 is provided with a game control data holding area 590 as an area for holding various data used for controlling the progress of the game in the slot machine 1. For example, a DRAM is used as the RAM 507, and a refresh operation is required to maintain the stored data contents. The CPU 505 has a built-in refresh register for performing this refresh operation. For example, the refresh register consists of 8 bits, and the lower 7 bits are automatically incremented each time the CPU 505 fetches an instruction from the ROM 506. Accordingly, the stored value in the refresh register is updated every execution time of one instruction in the CPU 505.

  The main control unit 41 transmits various commands to the sub control unit 91 via the serial communication circuit 511. A command transmitted from the main control unit 41 to the sub control unit 91 is sent in only one direction, and no command is sent from the sub control unit 91 toward the main control unit 41.

  The main control unit 41 receives the detection state of various switches connected to the game control board 40 from the input port. Then, the main control unit 41 executes basic processing that shifts in stages according to the detection states of various switches input from these input ports.

  Further, the main control unit 41 can execute an interrupt process by interrupting the basic process when an interrupt occurs. In the present embodiment, a timer interrupt process (main), which will be described later, is executed at a certain time interval (about 0.56 ms in the present embodiment) when a timeout occurs in the timer circuit included in the CTC 508.

  The main control unit 41 is set to prohibit other interrupts during the execution of the interrupt process, and when a plurality of interrupts occur at the same time, the main control unit 41 prioritizes according to a predetermined order.

  The effect control board 90 is connected to effect devices such as a liquid crystal display 51 (see FIG. 2) disposed on the front door 1b of the slot machine 1, an effect LED 52, speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 described above. These effect devices are driven based on control by a later-described sub-control unit 91 mounted on the effect control board 90.

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

  Further, in the present embodiment, the liquid crystal display 51, the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, and the reel LED 55 are exemplified as the effect device, but the effect device is not limited to these, for example, a mechanically driven display. A device or a mechanically driven item may be applied as the effect device.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the effect control board 90 includes a sub CPU 91a, ROM 91b, RAM 91c, and a microcomputer provided with an I / O port 91d.

When the power is turned on, the sub control unit 91 It starts at an earlier stage than the unit 41. On the other hand, the power interruption detection circuit 98 has a voltage that outputs a voltage drop signal lower than the power interruption detection circuit 48 that outputs a voltage drop signal to the main control unit 41 in the game control board 40. The sub control unit 91 detects a power failure at a later stage than the main control unit 41, and performs a power interruption process (sub) described later.

  Similar to the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 has an interrupt function, generates an interrupt when receiving a command from the main control unit 41, and acquires a command transmitted from the main control unit 41. Execute command reception interrupt processing to be stored in the buffer. Further, the sub control unit 91 executes an interrupt process (sub), which will be described later, by generating an interrupt every time the number of input system clocks reaches a certain number, that is, every certain interval.

  Also, unlike the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 interrupts the process even when the timer interrupt process (sub) is being executed when an interrupt is generated based on the reception of the command. The command reception interrupt process is executed at the same time, and the command reception interrupt process is executed with the highest priority even if interrupts that trigger the timer interrupt process (sub) occur at the same time.

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

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

  In order to change the setting value, it is necessary to turn on the power of the slot machine 1 after the setting key switch 37 is turned on. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on and the power is turned on, the setting value read from the RAM 507 is displayed on the setting value display 24 as a display value, and the setting value can be changed by operating the reset / setting switch 38. Transition to the setting change state. When the reset / setting switch 38 is operated in the setting change state, the display value displayed on the setting value display 24 is updated one by one (when further operation is performed from the setting 6, the display returns to the setting 1). . When the start switch 7 is operated, the display value is determined as the set value. Then, when the setting key switch 37 is turned off, the determined display value (setting value) is stored in the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41, and the state shifts to a state in which the game can proceed.

  In order to check the set value, after the game is over, the setting key switch 37 may be turned on in a state where the bet amount is not set. When the setting key switch 37 is turned on in such a situation, the setting value read out from the RAM 507 is displayed on the setting value display 24, thereby shifting to a setting confirmation state in which the setting value can be confirmed. In the setting confirmation state, the game cannot be progressed, and by setting the setting key switch 37 to the off state, the setting confirmation state is ended and the state in which the game can proceed is returned.

  In the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 determines whether or not the voltage drop signal from the power interruption detection circuit 48 is detected every time the timer interruption process (main) is executed. If the determination process is performed and it is determined that the voltage drop signal is detected in the power failure determination process, the power interruption process (main) is executed. In the power interruption process (main), the register is saved in a stack of a RAM 507, which will be described later, and destructive diagnosis data (in this embodiment, 5AH) in which any bit is 1 is stored in the RAM 507, that is, specific data other than 0 is stored. In addition to the storage, the RAM parity adjustment data is calculated so that the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 becomes 0 and stored in the RAM 507. The RAM parity is a value calculated as an exclusive OR of the values stored in each bit of the corresponding area (all areas in this embodiment) of the RAM 507. For this reason, if the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 is 0, the RAM parity adjustment data is 0, and the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 is 1. In this case, the RAM parity adjustment data is 1.

  The main control unit 41 calculates the RAM parity based on the data stored in all areas of the RAM 507 at the time of activation, regardless of whether the system reset or the user reset, and the value of the data for destructive diagnosis And the processing state of the main control unit 41 is restored to the state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 507 on the condition that the RAM parity is 0 and the value of the data for destruction diagnosis is also correct. However, if the RAM parity is not 0 (in the case of 1) or the value of the destruction diagnosis data is not correct, it is determined that the RAM is abnormal, and the RAM abnormal error code is set in the register to control the RAM abnormal error state. However, the progress of the game is disabled. Unlike the normal error state, the RAM abnormal error state is not canceled even if the reset switch 23 or the reset / setting switch 38 is operated, and a new set value is set in the above-described setting change state. It will not be released until

  In this embodiment, all data stored in the RAM 507 is held by the backup power source even in the event of a power failure, and the main control unit 41 determines that the data in the RAM 507 is normal when the power is turned on. In addition, the configuration returns to the control state before the power interruption based on the data stored in the RAM 507, but only the data stored in the RAM 507 necessary for returning to the control state in the event of a power failure is backed up and turned on. It may be configured to return to the control state before power interruption based on the data backed up at the time.

  In addition, when returning to the control state before the power interruption when the power is turned on, it is not necessary to return all the control states to the control state before the power interruption, and the minimum control state that does not disadvantage the player For example, it is not necessary to restore the state of all input ports to the state before power interruption.

  Next, initialization of the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41 will be described. The storage area of the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41 is divided into important work, non-saved work, general work, special work, unused area, and stack area.

  Important work items include various indicators, LED display data, I / O input / output data, game time counters, and other data that can be inconvenient to initialize, as well as the RT flag and RT remaining game count described below. Work to be done. The unsaved work is a work that holds the state of various switches, and a value is always set regardless of whether or not the data in the RAM 507 is destroyed at the time of activation. The general work is a work that stores data that can be initialized at the end of the BB, such as a stop control table, a stop symbol, the number of medals paid out, the total number of medals paid out in the BB, and a game state flag described later. The special work is a work that stores data such as various software random numbers that are initialized only before the setting is started. The unused area is an unused area in the storage area of the RAM 507, and is initialized if any one of a plurality of initialization conditions described later is satisfied. The stack area is an area in which data saved from the register of the main control unit 41 is stored, and the unused stack area is one of a plurality of initialization conditions to be described later, like the unused area. However, if it is established, it will be initialized, but the in-use stack area is not initialized because the program continues.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 stores the data in the RAM 507 when the setting key switch 37 is turned on, when a RAM error occurs, when the BB ends, and when the setting key switch 37 is turned off. When not being destroyed, when five initialization conditions at the end of one game are satisfied, four types of initializations that are initialized in accordance with each initialization condition are performed.

  Initialization 1 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is turned on at the time of startup and transitions to a setting change state, or initialization performed when a RAM abnormality error occurs. In the storage area of the RAM 507, all areas (including the unused area and the unused stack area) except for the important work and the used stack area, that is, the area from the unsaved work to the unused stack area are initialized. The Initialization 2 is initialization performed at the end of the BB. In initialization 2, the area of the RAM 507 includes the general work, the unused area, and the unused stack area, that is, the area from the general work to the unused stack area. It is initialized. Initialization 3 is an initialization performed when the setting key switch 37 is in an off state at the time of startup and the data in the RAM 507 is not destroyed. In the initialization 3, the unsaved work, the unused area, and the The used stack area is initialized. Initialization 4 is initialization performed at the end of one game. In initialization 4, an unused area and an unused stack area in the storage area of the RAM 507 are initialized.

  In this embodiment, initialization 1 is performed before the change of the setting change state. However, the initialization 1 is performed at the end of the setting change state, or both before the change of the setting change state and at the end of the setting change state. Also good.

  As described above, in this embodiment, when a RAM abnormality error occurs at the time of power-on or the like, initialization 1 is executed, and the control state before that is initialized. The RT flag and the RT remaining game number assigned to are held without being initialized. On the other hand, the gaming state flag assigned to the general work is initialized as initialization 1 is executed.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, as described above, the prescribed number of bets that can be set according to the gaming state (usually inside, BB (RB)) is determined, and is determined according to the gaming state. The game can be started on the condition that the specified number of bets has been set. In this embodiment, the winning line LN is activated when a specified number of bets according to the gaming state are set.

  In the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, when all the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are stopped, the activated pay line (in the present embodiment, all the pay lines are always enabled. The activated winning line is simply referred to as a winning line), and a winning combination is obtained when a combination of symbols called “comb” is arranged. The combination may be a combination of the same symbols or a combination including different symbols. The type of winning combination is determined according to the game state, but it can be roughly divided into a small role with payout of medals and a replay that allows the next game to be started without the need to set the number of bets. There are a game combination and a special combination with a transition to a game state advantageous to the player. Below, a small role and a re-playing role are collectively called a general role. In order to win each winning combination determined according to the game state, it is necessary to win an internal lottery described later and set a winning flag for the winning combination in the RAM 507.

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

  Hereinafter, the internal lottery of the present embodiment will be described. In the internal lottery, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is permitted before the display results of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R are derived and displayed (actually, when the start switch 7 is detected). To do. In the internal lottery, first, a random value for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535) is acquired when the start switch 7 is detected. Specifically, the value of the random number storage work assigned to the RAM 507 is set to the lottery work assigned to the RAM 507. Then, for each combination determined according to the gaming state and whether or not the special combination is carried over, the numerical data stored in the lottery work, the value of the gaming state flag for specifying the gaming state, and the RT described later are specified. The determination is made according to the number of determination values of each combination determined according to the value of the RT flag, the number of bets, and the set value.

  The random value storage work is a storage area in which numerical data latched simultaneously with the operation of the start switch 7 is stored. Every time new numerical data is latched, the latched numerical data is processed by a timer interruption process thereafter. The numerical data read in (main) and stored in the random value storage work is updated to the latest numerical data latched newly.

  In the internal lottery, an internal lottery target, a current gaming state flag value, an RT flag value, and the number of determination values determined corresponding to the set value are stored in a random number for internal lottery (a lottery work). When the result of addition overflows, it is determined that the winning combination is won. For this reason, a winning combination will be won with a probability (number of determination values / 65536) according to the number of determination values.

  If a winning combination of any combination is determined, a winning flag corresponding to the winning combination is set in the internal winning flag storage work assigned to the RAM 507. The internal winning flag storage work consists of a 2-byte storage area, of which the upper byte is assigned as the special role storing work in which the winning flag for the special role is set, and the lower byte is the winning of the general role It is assigned as a general role storage work for which a flag is set. Specifically, when a special combination is won, a special combination winning flag indicating that the special combination is won is set in the special combination storing work, and the winning flag set in the general combination storing work is cleared. When a general combination is won, a winning flag for the general combination indicating that the general combination is won is set in the general combination storing work. If no winning combination or combination of winning combinations is won, only the general winning combination storing work is cleared.

  Next, stop control of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R will be described.

  The main control unit 41 refers to the table index and table creation data stored in the ROM 506A when the reel starts rotating and when the reel stops and the reel that is still rotating still remains. A stop control table is created for each reel that is rotating. When any of the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R corresponding to the rotating reel is effectively detected, the stop control table of the corresponding reel is referred to and the slip of the referred stop control table is referred to. Based on the number of frames, control is performed to stop the rotation of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R corresponding to the operated stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R.

  In the table index, an index that indicates the start address of the area in which the data for table creation is stored, from the reference address when referring to the table index, according to the setting state of the winning flag by internal lottery (hereinafter referred to as the internal winning state) Differences up to the address where the data is stored are registered. As a result, a difference corresponding to the internal winning state is acquired, and the corresponding index data can be acquired by adding the difference to the reference address. Even when the winning combinations are different, when the same control is applied, the same address is stored as the index data. In such a case, the same table creation data is referred to. Thus, a stop control table is created.

  The table creation data includes a stop control table indicating the number of sliding frames according to the stop operation position, and an address of the stop control table to be referred to according to the reel stop status.

  The stop control table referred to according to the reel stop status is whether all reels are rotating, only the left reel is stopped, only the middle reel is stopped, only the right reel is stopped, It may vary depending on whether the middle reel is stopped, the left and right reels are stopped, the middle and right reels are stopped, and if any reel is stopped, stop Since there may be differences depending on the stop position of the reels already completed, the address of the stop control table to be referred to is registered for each rotating reel for each situation, It is possible to specify the address of the stop control table that should be referred to according to the status of each, and it is necessary according to each status from this specified address. And to be able to identify the stop control table. Even when the reel stop status and the stopped position of the stopped reel are different, when the same stop control table is applied, the same address may be registered as the address of the stop control table. In such a case, the same stop control table is referred to.

  The stop control table is data that can specify the number of sliding frames for each timing when the stop operation is performed. In the present embodiment, a stepping motor that makes one turn at a cycle of 336 steps (0 to 335) is used for the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R. That is, when the reel motors 32L, 32C, and 32R are driven in 336 steps, the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R make one round. Then, 21 areas (frames) divided every 16 steps (the number of steps that one symbol moves) are defined for one reel, and these areas are areas 0 to 20 from the reel reference position. A number is assigned. On the other hand, the number of symbols arranged on one reel is 21, and symbol numbers 0 to 20 from the reel reference position are assigned to symbols on each reel, so symbols 0 to 20 are assigned to each reel. , Area numbers 0 to 20 are assigned in order. In the stop control table, the number of sliding symbols for each area number is compressed and stored according to a predetermined rule, and the number of sliding symbols for each area number can be acquired by expanding the stop control table. Yes.

  As described above, the stop control table created by referring to the table index and the table creation data corresponds to the area number, and the area corresponding to each area number is the stop reference position (in this embodiment, the perspective window 3). Sliding frame when an operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R is detected at a timing (a timing in which the number of steps from the reel reference position is included in the range of the number of steps of each region number). It is a table with each number set.

  Next, the procedure for creating the stop control table will be described. First, at the start of reel rotation, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game is acquired. Specifically, the table index is first referred to, index data corresponding to the internal winning state is obtained, table creation data is identified based on the obtained index data, and all reels are identified from the identified table creation data. The address of the stop control table for each reel corresponding to the state of rotation is acquired, and the stop control table for each reel stored at the acquired address is expanded to generate a stop control table for all reels.

  Further, when any one reel stops or any two reels stop, the index data acquired at the start of reel rotation, that is, the top address of the table creation data corresponding to the internal winning state of the game The table creation data is identified based on the table creation data, and the stop control table address of the unreacted reel corresponding to the stopped reel and the area number of the stop position of the reel is obtained from the identified table creation data. The stop control table for each stored reel is expanded to create a stop control table for the unstopped reels.

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

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

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

  In this embodiment, when any of the winning combinations is won, the winning combination is drawn to the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line, and the non-winning winning combination is drawn so that it is not aligned on the winning line. A stop control table with a defined number of frames is created and reel stop control is performed. If no winning combination is selected, a stop control table with a determined number of sliding symbols that do not have any combination And stop control of the reel. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if the winning combination can be stopped on the winning line in the drawing range of up to 4 frames, the control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. The combination that has not been performed will be controlled to be stopped in a drawing range of a maximum of 4 frames.

  When a special role and a small role are elected at the same time, such as when a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, the winning small role is the maximum in the range of 4 frames on the winning line. The number of sliding frames is fixed so that it can be drawn to the limit, and for the stop operation position where the selected small role cannot be drawn in the range of up to 4 frames in the winning line, the winning special role is in the range of 4 frames in the winning line Then, a stop control table in which the number of sliding frames is determined so as to be pulled in as much as possible is created, and reel stop control is performed. As a result, when a stop operation is performed, if it is possible to stop all the small roles that have been selected in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line and stop them, control is performed so that the winning combination is stopped. If you can't draw a small role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the line, if you can stop with a special role that has been won in the drawing range of up to 4 frames on the winning line, A control is performed to stop them in a uniform manner, and a winning combination that has not been won will be controlled to be stopped within a 4-frame pull-in range. That is, in such a case, priority is given to the control for aligning the small combination on the winning line over the special combination, and the special combination can be won only when the small combination cannot be drawn. When a special combination and a small combination can be drawn at the same time, only the small combination is drawn and the small combination is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the special combination.

  In this example, when a special role is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, or when a special role and a small role are simultaneously elected, the special role and the small role are won simultaneously. If the selected special role is given priority over the selected special role, the special role is controlled on the winning line only when the small role cannot be withdrawn. When winning simultaneously, priority is given to the control for aligning the special role on the winning line over the small role, and the control for aligning the small role on the winning line may be performed only when the special role cannot be drawn.

  If a special player and a replaying player are elected at the same time, such as when a replaying player is elected while the special role has been carried over from before the previous game, when the stop operation is performed, In addition, a control is performed in which the symbols of the re-gamer are aligned and stopped within a drawing range of up to 4 frames. In this case, the symbols constituting the re-gamer or the symbols constituting the re-gamer to be simultaneously elected are arranged at intervals of 5 symbols or less, that is, within 4 frames, for any of the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R. Since it can always be stopped at any position within the 4-frame pull-in range, if the special combination and the re-playing combination are elected at the same time, the timing of the operation of the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R by the player Without fail, the re-playing role will always be won. That is, in such a case, the control for aligning the re-games on the winning line has priority over the special game, and the re-games will always win. In the case where the special combination and the re-playing combination can be withdrawn at the same time, only the re-playing combination is drawn in, and the special combination is not arranged on the winning line at the same time as the re-playing combination.

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

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

  Next, commands that the main control unit 41 transmits to the sub control unit 91 will be described.

  In this embodiment, the main control unit 41 sends a BET command, a credit command, an internal winning command, a freeze command, a reel rotation start command, a reel stop command, a winning determination command, a payout start command, a payout end to the sub control unit 91. A plurality of types of commands including a command, a gaming state command, a standby command, a stop command, an error command, a return command, a setting command, a setting confirmation command, and an operation detection command are transmitted.

  These commands consist of 1-byte type data indicating the command type and 1-byte extension data indicating the command content, and the sub-control unit 91 can determine the command type from the type data.

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

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

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

  The freeze command is a command indicating whether or not to control the freeze state and the timing when controlling to the freeze state when it is determined to control to the predetermined freeze state. Sent at the end of a freeze lottery (not shown).

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

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

  The winning determination command is a command that can specify the combination of symbols arranged on the winning line LN, whether or not there is a winning, the type of winning, and the number of medals to be paid out at the winning, and all the reels are stopped and the winning determination is performed. Sent after.

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

  The gaming state command is a command that can specify the gaming state of the next game, the type of RT, and the number of remaining RT games, and is transmitted when the game ends.

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

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

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

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

  The setting command is a command indicating the start or end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change. At the time of transition to the setting change state, a setting command indicating the start of the setting change state is transmitted. A setting command indicating the end of the setting change state and the setting value after the setting change is transmitted. Further, since the control state of the main control unit 41 is initialized with the transition to the setting change state, it can be specified that the control state of the main control unit 41 has been initialized by the setting command indicating the start of setting. .

  The setting confirmation command is a command that indicates the start or end of the setting confirmation state. A setting confirmation command that indicates the start of setting confirmation is transmitted when entering the setting confirmation state, and the setting confirmation end is indicated when the setting confirmation state ends. A confirmation command is sent.

  The operation detection command is a switch in which the detection state (on / off) has changed among the operation switches (MAXBET switch 6, start switch 7, stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R), whether the detection state has changed from off to on, This command indicates whether the state has changed from on to off and the detection state (on / off) of another switch, and is transmitted when the detection state of any of these operation switches has changed.

  Of these commands, commands other than the door command and the operation detection command are generated in the basic process, and the command data in the command buffer assigned to the non-initialized area is updated to the newly generated command data, and the serial communication circuit The data is transmitted to the sub-control unit 91 by being transferred to the transmission data register 561 of 511.

  The operation detection command is used when a change in the detection state of any switch is detected in the switch input determination process of the timer interrupt process (main) (when edge data of any switch is set). Is generated and stored in the operation detection command storage area, and when an operation detection command transmission request is set, transmission of the operation detection command stored in the operation detection command storage area is instructed, and a timer allocation executed thereafter In the command transmission process of the loading process (main), it is stored in the command buffer and transferred to the serial communication circuit 511 to be transmitted to the sub-control unit 91.

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

  When the sub control unit 91 receives a command from the main control unit 41, the sub control unit 91 executes a command reception interrupt process. In the command reception interrupt process, the command acquired from the command transmission line is stored in the reception buffer provided in the RAM 91c.

  The reception buffer is provided with an area capable of storing a maximum of 16 commands so that a plurality of commands can be accumulated.

  In the timer interrupt process (sub), the sub-control unit 91 determines whether or not an unprocessed command is stored in the reception buffer. If an unprocessed command is stored, the sub-control unit 91 is the earliest. The control pattern table stored in the ROM 91b is referred to based on the command received in the stage, and the liquid crystal display 51, effect effect LED 52, speakers 53, 54, reel LED 55, etc. are controlled based on the control contents registered in the control pattern table. Performs output control of various rendering devices.

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

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

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

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

  In the slot machine 1 according to the present embodiment, a winning is awarded when the winning symbols are aligned on any winning line. The types of winning combinations are determined according to the state of the game, but can be broadly divided into special roles with transition to big bonus and regular bonus, small roles with payout of medals, and setting of bet number. There is a re-player who can start the next game without needing.

  The big bonus may be indicated as BB and the regular bonus may be indicated as RB. In some cases, a big bonus or a regular bonus is simply referred to as a bonus. In order for each winning combination determined according to the gaming state to occur, it is necessary to set a winning flag in the RAM 507 to win the internal lottery and allow the winning of the winning combination.

  FIG. 7 to FIG. 10 are diagrams for explaining the types of winning combinations, symbol combinations of winning combinations, and technical matters related to winning combinations. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining a gaming state and RT transition controlled by the main control unit 41, and FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an outline of the gaming state and RT.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the slot machine in the present embodiment is controlled to one of the normal gaming state, the inside 1, 2, RB, and BB (RB), and further the normal gaming state (hereinafter referred to as the normal gaming state). Is controlled to any one of RT0 to RT4.

BB2 is awarded when the combination of “network 7-network 7-network 7” is aligned on the winning line. BB3 is awarded when a combination of “white 7-white 7-white 7” is aligned on the winning line. BB4 is awarded when the combination of “BAR-BAR-BAR” is aligned on the winning line. BB4 is awarded when a combination of “black 7-white 7-net 7” is aligned on the winning line.

  When winning one of BB1 to BB4, the game shifts to a big bonus that is controlled by the game every time during the BB regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as BBRB).

  The big bonus generated due to the winning of any one of BB1 to BB4 is terminated on condition that 316 or more medals have been paid out.

  RB1 wins when a combination of “net 7-net 7-black 7” is aligned on the pay line. RB2 is awarded when the combination of “white 7-white 7-black 7” is aligned on the winning line.

  When winning one of RB1 and RB2, a transition is made to a regular bonus (hereinafter referred to as RB).

  The regular bonus generated due to the winning of either RB1 or RB2 ends on the condition that any winning combination has won 6 times or 12 games have been consumed.

  As shown in FIG. 11, from the internal winning one of BB1, BB3, RB2 until winning a prize, it is controlled to 1 / RT0 inside, and after winning an internal winning one of BB2, BB4, RB1 Until this is done, the internal control is controlled to 2 · RT0. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, after the big bonus or regular bonus (collectively referred to as a bonus) is completed, the control is performed to normal RT4.

  Even if one of BB1 to BB4, RB1, or RB2 is won in an internal lottery to be described later, if the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R are not operated at an appropriate timing to enable winning of these roles, these I won't win a role. The symbols composing BB1 to BB4, RB1, and RB2 ("black 7", "white 7", and "net 7") are arranged within 5 frames on each of the left reel 2L, middle reel 2C, and right reel 2R. This is because it has not been done.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 8, the small combination among the winning combinations will be described. Among the winning combinations, the small role includes a middle bell, a right-down bell, an upper bell 1 to 8, a middle watermelon, a right-down watermelon, an upper watermelon, a lower cherry, a middle cherry, a one-piece role, and a right-up bell.

For this reason, it can be said that, in principle, when the promotion replay 2 is won in an internal lottery to be described later, it can be said that, as a rule, it can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R.

  As shown in FIG. 11, after winning a promotion replay (promotional replay 1 or promotion replay 2) in normal / RT1, it is controlled to normal / RT0. As will be described later, the promotion replay is set not to win independently in the internal lottery in normal / RT2 and normal / RT3. Further, when the special combination and the promotion replay are won at the same time in the internal lottery in the normal / RT2 and the normal / RT3, the internal 1 / RT0 or the internal 2 / RT0 is controlled at that time. For this reason, in the normal / RT2 and normal / RT3, the promotion replay is not won. As a result, the normal / RT2 and normal / RT3 are not controlled from the normal / RT3 to the normal / RT0, and the promotion replay is awarded only when the normal / RT1 is selected, and the normal / RT1 is controlled only from the normal / RT1. It is configured as follows.

  The special replay is awarded when a combination of “bell-replay-replay” and “bell-replay-plum” is arranged on the winning line LN. In the left reel 2L, the bell is arranged within 5 frames, in the middle reel 2C, the replay is arranged within 5 frames, and in the right reel 2R, one of the replays and plums is arranged within 5 frames. ing. Therefore, as a general rule, special replays can be said to be a role that can be awarded regardless of the operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R if they are elected.

  As shown in FIG. 11, after winning the special replay in normal / RT0, control is performed to normal / RT2. As will be described later, the special replay is set so as not to be won by itself in the internal lottery in normal / RT1 and normal / RT3. Further, when the special combination and special replay are won at the same time in the internal lottery in normal / RT1 and normal / RT3, the internal 1 / RT0 or the internal 2 / RT0 is controlled at that time. Therefore, the special replay is not won in normal / RT1 and normal / RT3. As a result, it is configured not to be controlled from normal / RT1, normal / RT3 to normal / RT2, and special replay is awarded only when it is normal / RT0, and only normal / RT0 is controlled to normal / RT2. It is configured as follows.

  Next, the transition outcome will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 10, the transition items are “Replay-Orange-Bell”, “Replay-BAR-Bell”, “Plum-Orange-Bell”, “Plum-BAR-Bell”, “Replay-Bell-Orange”. ”,“ Replay-Bell-BAR ”,“ Plum-Bell-Orange ”,“ Plum-Bell-BAR ”,“ Black 7-Orange-Orange ”,“ Black 7-Orange-BAR ”,“ Black 7-BAR- ” "Orange", "Black 7-BAR-BAR", "White 7-Orange-Orange", "White 7-Orange-BAR", "White 7-BAR-Orange", "White 7-BAR-BAR", "Watermelon -Orange-orange "," Watermelon-orange-BAR "," Watermelon-BAR-orange "," Watermelon-BAR-BAR ". In this embodiment, left bells 1 to 4, middle bells 1 to 4 and right bells 1 to 4 which will be described later are elected, and the upper bells which are elected as the first stop other than the reels which become the winning conditions for the middle bells are elected. When the game is missed, the above-mentioned transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 11, after the transition points are aligned with the winning line LN in the normal / RT0, normal / RT2, and normal / RT3, control is performed to the normal / RT1. Note that, when the transition outcomes are aligned with the winning line LN in the normal / RT1, the normal / RT1 is maintained.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 13 to FIG. 17, combinations of lottery object combinations that are read as lottery object combinations for each gaming state will be described. In this embodiment, the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the inside one (BB1, BB3, RB2 is elected) or the inside 2 (BB2, BB4, RB1 is won) State), BB (RB), or RB, and the winning combination and the winning probability for the internal lottery are different. Furthermore, if the gaming state is the normal gaming state, at least one of the re-game player and the winning probability to be subject to the internal lottery differs depending on the types of RT0 to RT4. As will be described later as a lottery target combination, a plurality of winning combinations can be read out simultaneously and can be won in duplicate. In FIG. 13 to FIG. 17, “+” is written between winning winning combinations to indicate that the winning combination is read out simultaneously in the internal lottery.

  In FIGS. 13 to 17, the lottery target combination is shown in the vertical column, and the gaming state is shown in the horizontal column. In the column where the gaming state intersects with the lottery target, a circle indicates that the lottery target is read out in the gaming state, and a cross indicates the lottery target when in the gaming state. This indicates that the combination is not read out.

  Further, the numerical value shown below the circle indicates the number of determination values of a predetermined set value (for example, set value 1). An internal lottery is performed using the number of determination values. The denominator of the number of determination values is set to “65536” corresponding to a random number for internal lottery (an integer from 0 to 65535). For this reason, for example, the winning probability of the lottery subject for which “300” is set as the number of determination values is 300/65536.

  FIGS. 13 and 14 show combinations of special combinations that are read out as lottery targets for each gaming state, FIG. 15 shows combinations of small combinations that are read out as lottery targets for each gaming state, and FIG.

  When internal center 1 · RT0, internal center 2 · RT0, bell, left bell 1, left bell 2, left bell 3, left bell 4, center bell 1, center bell 2, center bell 3, center bell 4, right Bell 1, Right Bell 2, Right Bell 3, Right Bell 4, Weak Watermelon, Strong Watermelon, Weak Cherry, Strong Cherry, Middle Cherry, Single Role, Normal Replay, Lower Replay, Tumble Replay, Promotion Replay, Special Replay It becomes a target part of the lottery.

  When it is BB (RB) · RT0, the weak cherry and the right-up bell are subject to the internal lottery, and when it is RB · RT0, the right-up bell is the subject of the internal lottery.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 17, a weak watermelon is an upper stage watermelon + right lowering watermelon. A strong watermelon is a middle-stage watermelon + right-down watermelon. That is, when the middle stage watermelon wins, it can be recognized that it is a strong watermelon. The weak cherries are the lower cherries alone, the strong cherries are the lower cherries + 1 piece, whereas the weak cherries are not controlled so that the combination of “BAR-BAR-BAR” can be derived in the middle. The strong cherry is controlled so that the combination of “BAR-BAR-BAR” can be derived in the middle stage, the cherry stops in the lower stage of the left reel 2L, and “BAR-BAR-BAR” in the middle stage. You can recognize that it is a strong cherry by combining the combination.

  The bell is a middle bell + a downward-sloping bell. Left bell 1 is right falling bell 5 + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8, left bell 2 is right falling bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7, and left bell 3 is right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3, left bell 4 is right falling bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4. The left bells 1 to 4 are also simply called left bells. The middle bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 5, the middle bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 6, and the middle bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell. 7 and the middle bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 8. The middle bells 1 to 4 are also simply called middle bells. The right bell 1 is the middle bell + the upper bell 3 + the upper bell 5, the right bell 2 is the middle bell + the upper bell 1 + the upper bell 7, and the right bell 3 is the middle bell + the upper bell 4 + the upper bell. 6 and the right bell 4 is the middle bell + the upper bell 2 + the upper bell 8. The right bells 1 to 4 are also simply called right bells. The left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4, and the right bells 1 to 4 are also simply referred to as push order bells.

  The promotion replay is promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2.

  Replay GR1 is normal replay + promotion replay 1, replay GR2 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2, replay GR3 is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + lower replay, and replay GR4. Is normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2 + lower replay, replay GR5 is normal replay + promotion replay 2, and replay GR6 is normal replay + promotion replay 2 + lower replay.

  Replay GR11 is tumble replay + special replay, replay GR12 is tumble replay + special replay + normal replay, replay GR13 is tumble replay + special replay + lower replay, and replay GR14 is Tumble replay + special replay + normal replay + lower replay. Replay GR15 is tumble replay + special replay + promotion replay 1.

  Also, in normal / RT0-3, etc., weak watermelon, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry, one piece, normal replay, fall replay, promotion that can be elected simultaneously with any of BB1-BB4, RB1, RB2 The number of replay judgment values for internal 1 · RT0 and internal 2 · RT0 is read separately from the bonus, respectively, strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherry, single-player, normal replay, falling Since it is added to the replay and the promotion replay, the winning probability of each of the strong watermelon, weak cherry, strong cherry, middle cherries, single combination, normal replay, falling replay, and promoted replay is guaranteed.

  In this way, the internal lottery role varies depending on whether the gaming state is the normal gaming state, 1 or 2 inside, BB (RB), or RB, and BB (RB) In RB, the internal lottery is performed using a lottery table in which the winning probability of the small role is set higher than that in the normal gaming state and inside.

  Also, when the game state is 1 or 2 in the inside, the subject of the internal lottery does not change depending on whether it is 1 in the inside or 2 in the inside, but it is 1 in the inside or inside The internal lottery is performed using a lottery table in which the winning probabilities of the target re-gamer are different.

  In addition, when the gaming state is the normal gaming state, the re-game player to be subject to the internal lottery differs depending on whether it is RT0-3, and depending on whether it is RT0-3 An internal lottery is performed using a lottery table with different re-game players and their winning probabilities.

  In this embodiment, when a plurality of types of re-game players are won at the same time, as shown in FIG. 18, a re-game player determined according to the types of re-game players won at the same time and the order of stop operations is won. Control is performed so that the line is stopped within a maximum of 4 frames on the line. FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of replays are won simultaneously.

  When the replay GR1 (normal replay + promotion replay 1) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR2 (normal replay + promotion replay 1 + promotion replay 2) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of promotion replay 1 among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operation is performed in an order other than left and right middle, control is performed to align the combination of normal replays to the winning line LN and stop.

  If Replay GR3 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the middle left or right order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replay players will be aligned to the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle left and right, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR4 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 1 + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle right / left order, the combination of Promotion Replay 1 among the selected replaying players is placed on the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the control is performed so that the combination of the normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR5 (normal replay + promotion replay 2) is won and stop operation is performed in the order of the middle left and right, the combination of the promotion replay 2 among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN When the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle right and left, control is performed so that the combination of normal replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When Replay GR6 (Normal Replay + Promotion Replay 2 + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of middle right and left, the combination of Promotion Replay 2 of the selected replaying players is aligned with the winning line LN Control to stop is performed, and when stop operations are performed in an order other than right center left, control is performed to align the normal replay combination with the winning line LN and stop.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the symbols constituting the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2, and the normal replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. The reel control is performed so that the promotion replay 1, the promotion replay 2 or the normal replay always wins regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R according to the operation order.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes for allowing the replays GR1 to 6 to win the promoted replays 1 and 2.

  Therefore, in the normal / RT1 where the replays GR1 to 6 are the targets of the internal lottery, if any of the replays GR1 to GR6 is elected, the promoted replay wins with a probability of 1/6, and the normal / RT0 Will be migrated.

  When the replay GR11 (falling replay + special replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left, middle and right, the control of stopping the combination of the special replays in the winning replay combination in the winning line LN. If the stop operation is performed in an order other than the left middle right, control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays aligned with the winning line LN.

  When replay GR12 (falling replay + special replay + normal replay) is won and the stop operation is performed in the order of left and right, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is stopped in line with the winning line LN. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than right and left, the control is performed to stop the combination of the fall replays on the winning line LN.

  When replay GR13 (falling replay + special replay + lower replay) is won and a stop operation is performed in the middle / left / right order, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the control is performed and the stop operation is performed in an order other than the middle left and right, the control is performed so that the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  If Replay GR14 (Tumble Replay + Special Replay + Normal Replay + Lower Replay) is won and the stop operation is made in the middle right / left order, the combination of special replays among the selected replay players is aligned to the winning line LN If the stop operation is performed in an order other than middle right and left, the combination of falling replays is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When replay GR15 (falling replay + special replay + promotion replay 1) is won and pressed right, that is, when the stop operation is performed in an operation mode in which the right reel 2R is first stopped, the special replay among the selected replay players When the stop operation is performed in the operation mode in which the combination of the above is aligned with the pay line LN and left-pressed, that is, in the operation mode in which the left reel 2L is first stopped or in the middle mode, that is, in the operation mode in which the middle reel 2C is first stopped. In this case, a control is performed to stop the combination of falling replays in line with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the symbols constituting the special replay and the fall replay are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less in all of the left reel 2L, the middle reel 2C, and the right reel 2R. Regardless of the stop operation timing of the stop switches 8L to 8R, the reel control is performed so that the special replay or the fall replay is always won.

  In this way, different operation modes are set as the operation modes in order to win special replays and avoid falling replays with the replays GR11 to 15.

  For this reason, if one of the replays GR11 to 15 is elected in the normal / RT0 where the replays GR11 to 15 are the targets of the internal lottery, the special replay wins with a probability of 1/5 and shifts to the normal / RT2. On the other hand, the fall replay wins with a probability of 4/5 and shifts to normal RT1.

  Next, when a plurality of types of small combinations are won simultaneously, as shown in FIG. 19, a maximum of 4 small combinations determined according to the types of small combinations that are simultaneously selected and the order of stop operations are displayed on the winning line. Control is performed so as to stop evenly within the frame drawing range. FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining reel control when a plurality of small combinations are won simultaneously.

  If left bell 1 (lower right bell + upper bell 6 + upper bell 7) wins and the stop operation is performed by pressing to the left, the combination of right down bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 6, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 2 (lower right bell + upper bell 5 + upper bell 8) is elected and stopped by left-pressing, the combination of right-down bells in the selected small role is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When a stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 5, the upper bell 6 or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 3 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 3) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the right falling bell combination of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed such that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 3, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  If left bell 4 (lower right bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 4) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the left button, the combination of the right falling bells of the selected small roles is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped. When the stop operation is performed by middle pressing or right pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 4, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the right-down bell configuration symbols are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the left bells 1 to 4 are elected, a stop operation is performed by pushing left. In this case, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the right lowering bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the left bells 1 to 4 are elected because there are places that are arranged, if the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle or right, it becomes the drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 If the stop operation is not performed at an appropriate timing, the winning upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, the control is performed so that the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles with the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 6) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is performed. If the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 6, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When middle bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing the middle bell, the control of stopping the combination of the middle bells of the elected small roles on the winning line LN is stopped. If a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or right-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the middle bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by middle push Regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Even if the middle bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by pressing left or right, an appropriate range that will be drawn in the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 will be used. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 1 (middle bell + upper bell 3 + upper bell 5) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 3, the upper bell 5, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN and stopped.

  When right bell 2 (middle bell + upper bell 1 + upper bell 7) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in line with the winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 1, the upper bell 7, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 3 (middle bell + upper bell 4 + upper bell 6) is elected and a stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells among the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 4, the upper bell 6, or the transitional outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  When right bell 4 (middle bell + upper bell 2 + upper bell 8) is elected and the stop operation is performed by pressing right, the combination of middle bells of the selected small roles is stopped in alignment with winning line LN. When a stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, control is performed so that any combination of the upper bell 2, the upper bell 8, or the transition outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the configuration symbols of the middle bell are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or less on all reels, and when the right bell 1 to 4 is elected, when the stop operation is performed by pushing right However, regardless of the timing of the stop operation, control is always performed so that the middle bell is aligned with the winning line LN, while the symbols constituting the upper bells 1 to 8 are arranged at intervals of 5 frames or more on all reels. Therefore, even if the right bells 1 to 4 are elected, if the stop operation is performed by left-pressing or middle-pressing, an appropriate drawing range of the constituent symbols of the elected upper bells 1 to 8 is appropriate. If the stop operation is not performed at the timing, the selected upper bell cannot be aligned with the winning line LN, and in this case, control is performed so that the shift outcome is aligned with the winning line LN.

  Thus, in this embodiment, when any of the left bell, middle bell, right bell, that is, the push order bell is won, by performing a stop operation in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, While the right-down bell or middle bell always wins, if the stop operation is performed in an operation mode other than the specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination, the upper bell is aligned at 1/4, but at 3/4 In some cases, the upper bells are not aligned and the transition outcomes are aligned.

  For this reason, at the time of winning the push order bell, the expected value of the number of medals to be paid out can be changed depending on whether or not it is operated in a specific operation mode according to the type of winning combination. In other words, even if one of the push order bells is won, it is impossible to intentionally select a specific operation mode unless the type is known. Although a medal can be surely obtained by winning a prize, the upper bell can be won only by 1/4 at a ratio of 2/3, and a medal cannot be surely obtained.

  Although not particularly shown, when a bell (middle bell + lower right bell) is won, a combination of “bell-bell-bell” is arranged on the winning line LN regardless of the stop order of the reels and the operation timing. To be controlled.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, it is controlled to one of the normal gaming state, the inside 1, the inside 2, RB and BB (RB), and in the normal gaming state, RT0-3 It is controlled by either.

  As described above, the RAM 507 of the main control unit 41 is assigned with an area for storing a gaming state flag that can specify a gaming state and an area for storing an RT flag that can specify an RT type. Yes. The gaming state flag is 4-bit data, 0000 indicates the normal gaming state, 0001 indicates the internal one, 0010 indicates the internal two, 0100 indicates the RB, and 1100 indicates the BB (RB). . The RT flag is 4-bit data. 0000 indicates RT0, 0001 indicates RT1, 0010 indicates RT2, 0011 indicates RT3, and 0100 indicates RT4.

  As shown in FIG. 12, when the value of the game state flag is 0000 and the value of the RT flag is 0000, it indicates that the game state flag is RT0 and the game state flag value is 0000 and the RT flag value is 0001. In this case, it indicates that the normal gaming state is RT1, and when the gaming state flag value is 0000 and the RT flag value is 0010, it indicates that the normal gaming state is RT2, and the gaming state flag value is When the value of 0000 and RT flag is 0011, it indicates that the game state is normal and RT3, and when the value of game state flag is 0001 and the value of RT flag is 0000, it indicates that it is 1 inside. When the value of the game state flag is 0010 and the value of the RT flag is 0000, it indicates that the inside is 2, the value of the game state flag is 0100, and the value of the RT flag is 00. 0, indicates a RB, when the value of the gaming state flag is the value of 1100, RT flag 0000 indicates a BB (RB).

  On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as the lottery table in which the number of determination values for the target combination is determined, the lottery table for internal one, the lottery table for internal two, the lottery table for RB, and the lottery for BB (RB) Each having a table and a lottery table for a normal gaming state, and further, as a lottery table for a normal gaming state, a lottery table for RT0, a lottery table for RT1, a lottery table for RT2, and a lottery table for RT3 Each has.

  In the internal lottery process, the gaming state flag and the RT flag value stored in the RAM 507 are referred to identify the gaming state and the RT type, select the lottery table accordingly, and select the selected lottery table. By using the lottery, the lottery subject according to the gaming state and the type of RT is drawn with a winning probability according to the gaming state and the type of RT.

  Normal / RT0 is normal / RT1 when a promotion replay wins (when either one of the replays GR1 to GR6 is elected and a stop operation is performed in the order in which the promotion replay wins), normal / RT1 or normal / RT2 Shifts when the game is completed due to the consumption of the specified number of games. At this time, the value of the gaming state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal gaming state, and the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0. Regardless of the number of games after the transition to normal / RT0, the normal / RT0 shifts to the normal / RT1 by winning the fall replay or stopping the transition, or to the normal / RT2 by winning the special replay It ends when the special role is elected and moves to the inside 1 or inside 2 inside.

  Usually, the winning probability for special roles in RT0 is normal (about 1/239), the winning probability for replaying roles is high (about 1 / 1.4), and the winning probability for small roles is normal (about 1 / 3.5) However, the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. Moreover, in normal / RT0, except for the case where the winning combination is made at the same time as the special combination, only the replay GRs 11 to 15 among the re-playing combinations are targeted for the internal lottery.

  The normal / RT1 shifts when the transition is stopped at the normal / RT0, the normal / RT2, and the normal / RT3, or when the fall replay wins at the normal / RT0. At this time, the value of the gaming state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal gaming state, and the value of the RT flag is updated to 0001 indicating RT1. Then, the normal RT1 ends when the promotion replay wins and then shifts to the normal RT0, or when the special role is elected and shifts to the inside 1 or the inside 2.

  Normal / RT1 special role win probability is normal (approx. 1/239), same as RT0, re-game player win probability is lower than normal / RT0 normal (approx. 1 / 7.3), small role win The probability is normal (normally about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1) like RT0, and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. Further, in normal / RT1, only normal replay and replay GR1 to replay GR1 to 6 are included in the internal lottery.

  Normal / RT2 shifts when special replay wins in normal / RT0. At this time, the value of the gaming state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal gaming state, and the value of the RT flag is updated to 0010 indicating RT2. Then, the normal / RT2 is terminated when the transition is stopped and the normal / RT1 is transferred to the normal / RT1 or the special combination is elected and the internal / external 1 or internal 2 is transferred.

  Normal / RT2 special role win probability is normal (approx. 1/239), same as RT0, re-game player win probability is almost the same as RT (0), high probability (approx. 1 / 1.4), small The winning probability of the combination is normal (normally about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1) as with RT0, and the payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more. Also, in normal / RT2, only the normal replay among the replaying combinations is subject to the internal lottery, except when winning at the same time as the special combination.

  Normally, RT3 shifts to the end of BB (RB) and RB. At this time, the value of the gaming state flag does not change from 0000 indicating the normal gaming state, and the value of the RT flag is updated to 0011 indicating RT3. Regardless of the number of games since the transition to the normal / RT3, the normal / RT3 stops the transition and moves to the RT1, or the special role is elected and moves to the internal 1 or the internal 2 To finish.

  The winning probability of special roles in normal / RT3 is normal (about 1/239), the winning probability of replaying roles is normal / normally lower than RT0 (about 1 / 7.3), and the winning probability of small roles is normal / RT0 As usual, it is normal (about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. Moreover, in normal / RT4, except for the case where the winning combination is won at the same time as the special combination, only the normal replay among the re-playing combination is subject to the internal lottery.

  The inside 1 shifts when BB1, BB3, RB2 among the special roles are won in the normal gaming state. At this time, the value of the game state flag is updated to 0001 indicating internal 1 and the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0. Then, regardless of the number of games since the transition to the inside, the inside 1 finishes when the special role that triggered the transition to the inside 1 wins and shifts to BB (RB) or RB. .

  In the inside 1, the special role is excluded from the internal lottery, and the winning probability of the re-playing role is lower than normal RT0, normal RT2, but higher than normal RT1, normal RT3, and high probability (about 1 /4.2), the winning probability of a small role is normal (about 1 / 3.5, but the winning probability is about 1 / 6.1), and the payout rate of medals per game is less than 1. Moreover, in the inside 1, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the re-game players are targeted for the internal lottery.

  The inside 2 shifts when BB2, BB4, RB1 among special roles are won in the normal gaming state. At this time, the value of the game state flag is updated to 0010 indicating 2 inside, and the value of the RT flag is updated to 0000 indicating RT0. Then, inside 2 ends regardless of the number of games since the transition to the inside, when the special combination that triggered the transition to the inside 2 wins and shifts to BB (RB) or RB. .

  In internal 2, the special role is not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of replaying is lower than normal · RT0, normal · RT2, but higher than normal · RT1, normal · RT3, internal 1 Probability (approx. 1 / 2.9), probability of winning a small role is normal (approx. 1 / 3.5, but winning probability is approx. 1 / 6.1), and medal payout rate per game is less than 1. It becomes. Further, in the inside 2, only the normal replay and the lower replay among the re-game players are targeted for the internal lottery.

  RB shifts when RB1 or RB2 wins in 1 and 2 inside. At this time, the value of the gaming state flag is updated to 0100 indicating RB, and the value of the RT flag does not change from 0000 indicating RT (0). And RB is complete | finished by digesting 6 games or winning 6 times.

  In RB, the special role and re-playing role are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of the small role is higher than normal 1 and 2 in the normal gaming state, high probability (about 1 / 1.01), The payout rate of medals per game is 1 or more.

  BB (RB) shifts when BB wins inside. At this time, the value of the game state flag is updated to 1100 indicating BB (RB), and the value of the RT flag does not change from 0000 indicating RT (0). Then, BB (RB) ends when the total number of medals paid out to BB (RB) exceeds the prescribed number, regardless of the number of games since the transition to BB (RB).

  In BB (RB), special roles and re-playing roles are not subject to internal lottery, and the winning probability of small roles is higher than the normal gaming state, 1 or 2 inside, and high probability (about 1 / 1.00) The medal payout rate per game is 1 or more.

  Among the normal gaming state, 1, 2, RB, and BB (RB), RB and BB (RB) are the most advantageous gaming states with the highest medal payout rate per game.

  RT0 and RT0 of RT0 and 3 in the normal gaming state have a high probability of winning a re-gamer and the payout rate of medals per game is higher than RT1 and RT3. It can be said that it is a more advantageous state for the player.

  Further, in the slot machine according to the present embodiment, when the gaming state is RT0 to 3, the sub-control unit 91 provides an assist time (hereinafter referred to as AT) that is a notification period in which a navigation effect that notifies the internal lottery result can be executed. The production state can be controlled. Further, in particular, a state that is controlled by the AT in the normal RT 2 that is advantageous to the player is referred to as assist replay time (hereinafter referred to as ART).

  Here, the gaming state and the transition state of RT will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, when RB or BB (RB) is completed, the state shifts to normal / RT3.

  In normal / RT3, when the transition outcome is stopped, the transition is made to RT1, and when the special role is elected, transition is made to internal 1 or internal 2 according to the type of the special role won.

  In normal / RT3, if any of the left bells 1-4, middle bells 1-4, right bells 1-4 wins, and the small part cannot be won, the transition will stop. Therefore, any of the left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, right bell 1-4 can be elected and a small role can be won in normal / RT3 which has been shifted to after the end of RB or BB (RB) If not, the process moves to normal RT1.

  In normal / RT1, the game proceeds to normal / RT0 when the promotion replay wins, and when the special role is won, it shifts to internal 1 or internal 2 depending on the type of the special role selected.

  Usually ・ Replay GR1-6 wins in RT1, and the promotion replay wins when the stop order is correct. Therefore, in normal ・ RT1, replay GR1-6 wins and corrects in the order of stop. It will shift to RT0.

  In normal / RT0, if the fall replay wins, or if the transition is stopped, it moves to normal / RT1, and if the special replay wins, it moves to normal / RT2, and the special role is won. Depending on the type of the special role, it shifts to 1 inside or 2 inside.

  Usually, the replays GR11 to 15 are elected at RT0, the special replay is won when the stop order is correct, and the fall replay is won when the answer is incorrect. In addition, in the case of normal / RT0, when any one of the left bells 1 to 4, the middle bells 1 to 4 and the right bells 1 to 4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, in normal / RT0, the replay GRs 11 to 15 are elected and the stop order is correct, so that the normal / RT2 is entered, and the replay GRs 11 to 15 are elected and the stop order is incorrect or the left bell 1 -4, middle bell 1 to 4, right bell 1 to 4 are elected, and if it is not possible to win a small role, it will shift to normal · RT1.

  In normal / RT2, when the special role is elected, it shifts to the inside 1 or the inside 2 according to the type of the won special role.

  In normal / RT2, when any one of the left bell 1 to 4, the middle bell 1 to 4 and the right bell 1 to 4 wins and the small role cannot be won, the transitional outcome stops. For this reason, in normal / RT2, if any of left bell 1-4, middle bell 1-4, and right bell 1-4 is won and the small role cannot be won, the routine proceeds to normal / RT1. It will be.

  In the inside 1 and 2, the special role that triggers the transition to the inside wins a transition to RB or BB (RB).

  The sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation stock lottery to determine whether or not to control the AT. In the navigation stock lottery, it is determined whether or not the number of navigation stocks is given and how much the navigation stock number is given.

  The number of navigation stocks indicates the number of rights controlled by the AT over a predetermined number of games (50 games in this embodiment). By consuming (subtracting) the number of navigation stock by 1, the AT is controlled for a predetermined number of games, and a navigation effect is executed during that time. For this reason, it can be said that the greater the determined number of navigation stocks, the higher the degree of advantage for the player.

  When the number of navigation stocks of 1 or more is determined in the navigation stock lottery, the sub control unit 91 stores the number of navigation stocks in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. The sub-control unit 91 specifies whether to control to AT based on the presence / absence of the number of navigation stocks in the RAM 91c. If one or more navigation stock numbers remain, the AT is controlled after passing through the incubation period of 0 to 32 games.

  If the navigation stock number is acquired when the navigation stock number remains, the navigation stock number acquired this time is added to the remaining navigation stock number.

  The sub-control unit 91 can control the AT by consuming the navigation stock when it is normal / RT1-3.

  Specifically, the sub-control unit 91 controls to AT when the navigation stock remains in the normal / RT1 to RT3 (mainly RT1). During the period from the normal / RT1 to the normal / RT0, the navigation stock number can be executed without being consumed (subtracted) without being consumed (subtracted). At this time, as will be described later, in normal / RT1, the replays GR1 to 6 are subject to navigation effects, and in the navigation effects, the push order for winning the promoted replays when the replays GR1 to 6 are won is notified. It is possible to shift from normal RT1 to normal RT0 by performing the stop operation in accordance with the notified pressing order. In addition, after the AT control is started, during the transition from normal / RT1 to normal / RT0, the push order for winning the bell is informed when the push order bell is won, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified push order. It is also possible to win medals with certainty.

  When the control is performed by the AT and when the normal / RT0 shifts to the normal / RT2, the number of navigation stock is consumed (subtracted) and the control is performed by the AT until the predetermined number of games elapses. When the navigation stock number is consumed by 1, the navigation stock number is decremented by 1. During this time, if it is normal / RT0 as will be described later, it will be the target of the navigation effect when the replays GR11 to 15 are selected, and the push order bell will be changed to normal / RT1, normal / RT0, normal / RT2 after the AT control starts. Regardless, it is the target of navigation production. In the navigation effect, in the normal / RT0, the push order for winning the special replay is notified when the replays GR11 to 15 are selected, so the stop operation is performed according to the notified push order to change from the normal / RT0 to the normal / RT1. It is possible to shift to normal / RT2 without shifting. Also, in both normal / RT0 and normal / RT2, when the push order bell is won, the transition outcome is avoided and the push order for winning the bell is notified, so by performing the stop operation according to the notified push order It is possible to acquire medals without shifting from normal RT0 or normal RT2 to normal RT1.

  The sub-control unit 91 counts the number of games in which the navigation effect executed by the navigation stock is executed when the navigation stock is consumed, that is, when the normal / RT0 shifts to the normal / RT2 (50 games in this embodiment). ) Is stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. The sub-control unit 91 controls to AT during a period until the number of games in the RAM 91c becomes zero. When the number of games remains and the target role of navigation is won, a navigation effect is executed.

  In addition, after the AT starts, if the additional target role (for example, cherry, watermelon, etc.) is elected after the predetermined number of games elapses and the AT ends, the number of games is newly added to the number of games until the AT ends. When an additional lottery for determining whether or not to be added is performed, and the additional lottery is won, the number of selected additional games is added to the predetermined number of games stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 91c. In other words, when the additional target combination is won during the AT and the additional lottery is won, the AT is controlled by the AT for a longer period.

  Further, the sub-control unit 91 controls to be non-AT when the remaining number of games becomes 0 when it is AT.

  When controlled to non-AT, the navigation effect is not executed. As a result, when normal / RT2, the possibility of matching the transition outcomes is increased, and the possibility of being controlled to normal / RT1 is increased.

  In addition, if the navigation stock remains after being controlled to non-AT, after the incubation period of 0 to 32 games is passed as in the case where a new navigation stock is won, the control is again made to the AT. As a result, until the number of navigation stocks becomes zero, the AT and the latent period are repeatedly controlled.

  If the sub-control unit 91 is controlled by the AT, the sub-control unit 91 performs a navigation effect by winning the navigation target combination corresponding to the gaming state. The navigation target combination corresponding to the game state is replay GR1-6 when it is normal / RT1, and replay GR11-15 when it is normal / RT0. Further, in normal and RT0 to 2, the push order bell is a common navigation target combination.

  As a navigation effect when winning the replays GR1 to GR6, a push order (see FIG. 18) for winning the promoted replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR1. In addition, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR2, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR3 is won, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 4 is won, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR5, a message such as “middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 6 is won, a message such as “Right Middle Left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As a navigation effect when the replays GR11 to 15 are won, a push order (see FIG. 18) for winning a special replay according to the winning situation is notified. For example, a message such as “left middle right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR11. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 12, a message such as “Middle right and left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 13, a message such as “middle left and right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when winning the replay GR 14, a message such as “middle right left!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Further, as a navigation effect when the replay GR 15 is won, a message such as “Right!” Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  Further, as a navigation effect when one of the push order bells is won, a push order (see FIG. 19) for surely winning a right-down bell or a middle bell is notified. For example, when winning the left bell, the left reel is stopped as the first stop reel, so that the right falling bell can be reliably won, so “left!” For stopping the left reel as the first stop reel. Is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. In addition, when the middle bell is won, the middle bell can be surely won by stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel, so “medium!” For stopping the middle reel as the first stop reel. A message is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. Also, when the right bell is won, the middle bell can be reliably won by stopping the right reel as the first stop reel, so “right!” For stopping the right reel as the first stop reel. A message is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  As described above, in the navigation effect in the present embodiment, a message reminiscent of an operation mode advantageous to the player is notified in the same mode regardless of the type of the navigation target role. For this reason, the player can operate in an operation mode that is advantageous to the player without being conscious of the type of the winning navigation target combination.

  In addition, the aspect of a navigation effect is not restricted to such an aspect, What kind of thing may be sufficient if a player is distinguishable according to a winning condition. In addition, the navigation effect is not limited to what is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and may be executed using the effect effect LED 52, the speakers 53 and 54, the reel LED 55, and the like.

  Then, by executing the navigation effect, it is possible to win the promotion replay winning, the special replay winning, and the bell winning that are intentionally won, and to avoid the falling replay winning.

  Next, various control contents executed by the main control unit 41 in the present embodiment will be described below with reference to FIG.

  When the system reset signal is input from the reset circuit 49, the main control unit 41 performs a startup process (main) (not shown). In the startup process (main), the security check process, internal devices such as the serial communication circuit 511 and peripheral ICs, interrupt mode, stack pointer, switch detection status, external output signal output status, and each register are initialized. Initialization processing, RAM abnormality determination processing using RAM parity, setting change processing (only when the setting key switch 37 is on), return processing for returning to the gaming state before power interruption, and the like are performed.

  FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing the control contents of the game process executed by the main control unit 41.

  In the game process, a BET process (Sd1), an internal lottery process (Sd2), a reel rotation process (Sd3), a winning determination process (Sd4), a payout process (Sd5), and a game end process (Sd6) are sequentially executed. When the end-time process ends, the process returns to the BET process again.

  In the BET process in the step of Sd1, the process waits in a state where a bet number can be set, and a process for starting a game when a specified number of bets is set according to the gaming state and the start switch 7 is operated is executed. . In the BET process, as a process for starting the game, an output command for instructing output of medals IN signals for the number of medals used for the set bet number is set in the RAM 41c.

  In the internal lottery process in the step of Sd2, it is determined whether or not the above winning combination is allowed based on the internal lottery random value latched simultaneously with the start of the game by the detection of the start switch 7 in the step of Sd1. Process. In this internal lottery process, a winning flag is set in the RAM 507 based on each lottery result.

  In the reel rotation process in the step of Sd3, the process of rotating each reel 2L, 2C, 2R and the operation of the corresponding reel 2L, 2C, 2R in response to the operation of the stop switch 8L, 8C, 8R detected by the player are detected. A process for stopping the rotation is executed.

  In the winning determination process in the step Sd4, when it is determined in the step Sd3 that the rotation of all the reels 2L, 2C, and 2R is stopped, the winning is determined according to the display result derived for each reel 2L, 2C, and 2R. A process of determining whether or not it has occurred is executed.

  In the payout process in step Sd5, when it is determined that a prize is generated in step Sd4, processing such as addition of credits and payout of medals is performed based on the number of payouts according to the win. In the payout process, an output command for instructing output of a medal OUT signal for the number of medals given to the player by adding credits and paying out medals is set in the RAM 41c.

  In the game end process in the step of Sd6, a process of setting a gaming state in preparation for the next game is executed. In the process at the end of the game, a change command for changing the BB signal to ON is set in the RAM 41c when shifting from the next game to BB, and an RB signal is switched when shifting from the next game to RB. A change instruction for changing to ON is set in the RAM 41c. On the other hand, when BB ends in the game, a change command for changing the BB signal to OFF is set in the RAM 41c, and when RB ends in the game, the RB signal is changed to OFF. A change command is set in the RAM 41c. When normal RT2 starts from the next game and when normal RT2 ends in the game, an RT2 signal output command is set in the RAM 41c.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  These production patterns include the production patterns of continuous production described later and the production patterns of premium productions 1 to 5, which are productions with a remarkably low probability compared to other productions. Premium effects 1-5 may be implemented.

  In the present embodiment, the main control unit 41 transmits an operation detection command that can specify that the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switches 8L, 8C, and 8R have been operated to the sub CPU 91a. Regardless of whether or not the CPU 91a is an operation switch related to the progress control of the game in each control state, it can be specified that the operation switch detected by the main control unit 41 has been operated, It is possible to execute an effect in accordance with the operation of an operation switch not involved in the game progress control, and to operate a main menu screen described later.

  Further, the main control unit 41 determines whether the MAXBET switch 6, the start switch 7, the stop switch 8L, 8C, or 8R is operated. By periodically sending an operation detection command that can specify the ON / OFF state of each of the 8Rs, the sub CPU 91a can periodically specify the ON / OFF state of these operation switches. Even when the CPU 91a misses the operation detection command, the latest detection state can be specified for all the operation switches based on the operation detection command transmitted next time, and the operation switch not involved in the progress control of the game The production according to the operation can be executed reliably.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  As an achievement condition to which points are given, for example, as shown in FIG. 21 (a), a continuous production showing the possibility of winning a special role is executed, and if the special role is won or missed, the bonus is confirmed. When the screen is displayed, etc., the degree of difficulty of each achievement condition, the current level, the number of points given according to the number of games since the game was started are determined, and the achievement condition is established Points according to the situation at the time will be awarded.

  The continuous effect B shown in FIG. 21A is an effect indicating that there is a high possibility that the special role is won as compared to the continuous effect A, that is, the ratio selected at the time of winning the special role is higher than the continuous effect A. Is a production with a lower appearance rate than the continuous production A.

  And if the continuous production A is executed and the special role is not won, and the continuous production B is executed and the special role is not won, the latter gives more points. Even if there is a high possibility that the special role has been won, more points are awarded when the special role is not won.

  Also, if the continuous production A is executed and the special role is not won, and the continuous production A is executed and the special role is won, the latter gives more points. Even if the possibility of winning the special role is low, more points are awarded when the special role is won.

  Moreover, even when the same achievement condition is satisfied, points awarded for 0 to 499G, 500 to 699G, and 700G or more are different, and as the number of games increases, more points are awarded. Yes.

  Further, every time the level value exceeds a certain value, the number of points given is reduced, and the number of points given is reduced. Specifically, when level 30 is exceeded, when level 60 is exceeded, points awarded are reduced, and depending on achievement conditions, points are not awarded. For this reason, every time the level exceeds a certain value, it becomes difficult to further increase the level.

  In this way, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, points are awarded by satisfying the achievement condition according to the result of playing the game, the level increases according to the number of points, the production pattern increases, The setting item of production increases, and the willingness of a player to play a game can be heightened effectively.

  In addition, there are presentations that are executed on condition that the level is above a certain level, the cumulative number of games, the cumulative bonus count, etc. is a certain number or more. , Missions achieved by executing an effect (premium effect) that does not appear unless the cumulative number of games or cumulative bonus count is more than a certain number, that is, a level above a certain level, the cumulative number of games, the cumulative bonus count, etc. Missions (tasks) that can only be achieved by numbers are defined as shown in FIG. 21 (b), and the player's willingness to play and raise the level can be effectively increased. .

  Here, the mission (problem) set in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment will be specifically described below with reference to FIG.

  For the model of the slot machine 1 of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21 (b), a plurality (100 in this embodiment) of missions (issues) are set, and the mission (issue) is cleared. (Achievement) and the achievement rate of the mission is increased, so that a privilege granted in the management server 1200 is added.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (b), the mission set in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment is a mission that generates a big bonus (regardless of the type of big bonus) 5 or 10 times in the game, or the same A mission to continue the bonuses of each type (BB1, BB2, RB, etc.) three times, or a mission to execute 100 games, 300 games, and 500 games during AT (a mission to continue AT until 100 games, 300 games, and 500 games) Also, a mission to acquire 100, 250, and 500 medals during an AT, and a mission to execute 500 games and 1000 games from the end of the bonus until the next bonus occurs (so-called Hamari is 500 games, 1000 Missions that are established by reaching the game) Mission to generate Am performance 1 to 5 has been set.

  Note that these missions are not limited to those shown in FIG. 21 (b), and may be set appropriately according to the function and playability of the slot machine 1, and in particular, the model of the slot machine 1. It is preferable to set a mission relating to highly unique game play and performance.

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

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

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

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

  Specifically, by selecting “Password Input” from the main menu screen shown in FIG. 22A and inputting the password issued by the management server 1200, the level and story of the previous game history are selected. It becomes possible to play the game by taking over the stage and the production setting.

  As will be described in detail later, the password is character data consisting of eight characters that can specify the anniversary, level, story stage, and production setting according to the player's individual game history managed by the management server 1200 described later. It is.

  The main menu screen is displayed when the left and right stop switches 8L, 8R among the stop switches 8L, 8C, 8R are operated simultaneously in the control state from the end of the game (after the setting change) until the bet amount is set. That is, the detection state of the operation switch indicated by the operation detection command is that either of the detection states of the stop switches 8C and 8R is OFF, the detection states of the stop switches 8L and 8R are both ON, and the detection state of the stop switch 8L is When it is changed to OFF, it is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51.

  When the main menu screen is displayed, as shown in FIGS. 22A and 22B, the stop switch 8L is operated to move to the menu item on the left side, and the stop switch 8R is operated. To move to the menu item on the right. Then, the menu item displayed in front is selected by operating the effect switch 56. When the effect switch 56 is operated in a state where “End” is displayed as a menu item or when the stop switch 8C is operated for a certain period of time or longer, as shown in FIG. An end confirmation screen in which “YES” and “NO” can be selected is displayed. On the end confirmation screen, the stop switches 8L and 8R and the production switch 56 are operated, and “YES” is selected from “YES” and “NO”. Thus, it returns to the basic screen (normal screen before shifting to the main menu screen). In addition, the screen returns to the basic screen when a time determined for each screen elapses without any operation.

  On the main menu screen before the password input or before the game start by the simple start described later, menu items of “easy start”, “password input”, “member registration” and “end” are displayed as shown in FIG. When the password menu is selected by operating the stop switches 8L and 8R and the effect switch 56 on the main menu screen before the password input or before the game start by the simple start described later, FIG. The password input screen shown in b) is displayed. On the password input screen, characters are moved by operating the stop switches 8L and 8R as shown in FIG. 23 (c), and by operating the effect switch 56 as shown in FIG. 24 (a), The character displayed in front is selected.

  Each time one character is selected, the next character can be selected. Further, by operating the effect switch 56 in a state where “return one character” is displayed in front, the character in front can be selected again. Then, when the password of 8 characters is selected, it moves to the determination column, and as shown in FIG. 24B, the effect switch 56 is operated in a state where characters other than “return one character” are displayed in front. Thus, the password is determined.

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

  When the password is authenticated as a regular password, the value of the personal history storage area (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs, AT history, performance history, number of games between bonuses, achievement mission) assigned to the RAM 91c is set. The story analyzed from the password is initialized in the anniversary storage area where the anniversary analyzed from the password is assigned to the RAM 91c, the level analyzed from the password is assigned to the RAM 91c, and the story analyzed from the password is stored in the RAM 91c. Production settings 1 to 4 analyzed from the password are set in the production storage area assigned to the RAM 91c, and the level, story, and production settings corresponding to the previous game history are associated with this. It will be taken over. At this time, the input password itself is stored in a password storage area assigned to the RAM 91c.

  Next, the password analysis procedure will be described. In the ROM 91b, as shown in FIG. 27 (a), the password is defined corresponding to the characters constituting the password (32 types of Roman letters: 26 types and 6 types of symbols). A password analysis table storing numerical values of 0 to 31 is stored. First, as shown in FIG. 27B, the password analysis table is referred to, and the input password is replaced with the corresponding numerical value. For example, as shown in FIG. 27B, if the password is “KZFJC = U *”, “10-25-5-9-2-26-20-” according to the password analysis table shown in FIG. 30 ". Next, the replaced numerical value is converted into a binary number, and the value of the upper 4 bits and lower 2 bits in total 4 bits is specified as a random value (random value acquired when the management server 1200 issued the password), and the random value is excluded The 36-bit value is shifted to the right by a random value. For example, as shown in FIG. 27B, if the random value is 0110 (= 6), the 36-bit value excluding the random value is shifted rightward by 6 bits. At this time, the value overflowed in the right direction is shifted to the upper bits.

  Next, a hash value from the 36-bit value after the shift (a random number given to make the password vary in the management server 1200. In this embodiment, the lower 4 bits of the 36 bits excluding the random value. The lower 8th bit, the lower 16th bit, the lower 23th bit, the lower 28th bit, and the lower 33th bit)), the anniversary, level, Analyze story stages and production settings.

  Of these 30-bit values, the lower 3 bits indicate the anniversary, the lower 4 bits to the lower 11 bits indicate the level, the lower 12 bits to the lower 17 bits indicate the stage of the story, and higher than the lower 18 bits These bits are values indicating production settings 1 to 4, and 4 bits, 4 bits, 3 bits, and 3 bits are assigned to them respectively. Anniversary, level, story stage, and production settings specified from these values. Are set in the anniversary storage area, the level storage area, the story storage area, and the effect setting storage area, respectively.

  Further, as described above, a personal history storage area is allocated to the RAM 91c, and a game history (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs, AT history, Production history, number of bonus games, achievement missions) are accumulated. The AT history is a history in which the number of ATs generated and the number of games generated, the number of games in each AT, and the number of medals acquired in each AT can be specified. The production history is a history that can specify what game a special production such as a continuous production or a premium production has been implemented, and these production histories are used when reproducing the production in a game digest. The number of games between bonuses is the number of games that have been executed since the most recent bonus ended, and is incremented by 1 each time the game is executed, and is reset at the end of the bonus. Furthermore, when a mission (issue) set in advance in the slot machine has been achieved, a history of achievement missions indicating the types of missions achieved is also accumulated. In addition, as described above, every time 10 points are acquired, the level stored in the level storage area is increased. Also, the story progresses according to the number of games, and progresses to the next stage by reaching a certain number of games.

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

  As shown in FIG. 22 (b), on the main menu screen after the password is entered or after the game is started by the simple start described later, as shown in FIG. 22 (a), “DATA CLEAR”, “TODAY GAME DATA”, “BOON” “History” and “End” menu items are displayed. As shown in FIG. 25 (a) on the main menu screen after the password is entered or after the game is started by the simple start described later, By selecting the “game data” menu item, a two-dimensional code capable of specifying the game history of the day is generated, and the generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. Is displayed. As shown in FIG. 28C, the output two-dimensional code is stored in the URL indicating the location of the update page on the management server, the password input at the start of the game, and the personal history storage area. Total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs, AT history, production history, number of games between bonuses, type of accomplishment mission (number), level value stored in level storage area, and stored in story storage area The stage of the story, the production settings 1 to 4 stored in the production setting storage area, the game state at the time of output (normal, RT1, normal, RT2, etc.), and internal winnings of BB and RB Internal winning status such as presence / absence and number of navigation stock given, and game random numbers (32-bit random numbers in this embodiment), which are random values obtained every time a two-dimensional code is created, are stored. There.

  Then, by reading this two-dimensional code with the portable terminal 1100 and accessing the URL of the management server 1200 specified from the two-dimensional code, the game that the management server 1200 has the game history of the day specified from the two-dimensional code is provided. It is reflected in the contents of the operator database.

  Also, from the time when the password is authenticated until today's game data is selected and until a two-dimensional code that can identify today's game history is displayed, entry of a new password is prohibited. And a two-dimensional code that can identify the game history of the day is displayed, and when the display is cleared, the password stored in the password storage area, the total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, BB Number of times, number of RBs, AT history, production history, number of games between bonuses, type of mission accomplished, level value stored in level storage area, story stage stored in story storage area, storage in production setting storage area All the contents of the effect settings 1 to 4 are cleared, and the password input is permitted again.

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

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

  Further, in this embodiment, if the player has already been registered in the management server 1200, the player can start the game that can store the game history without operating the production switch 56 and inputting the password. Is possible.

  Specifically, the personal history storage area (total game) allocated to the RAM 91c by operating the game start operation, in this embodiment, operating the effect switch 56 for a certain period of time (hereinafter referred to as long press of the effect switch 56). (Number, number of BBs, number of RBs, AT history, performance history, number of games between bonuses, achievement mission) are initialized. When the effect switch 56 is pressed for a long time, the game data for the current day is not selected after the effect switch 56 is pressed for a long time or a game start operation is performed in response to a password input. Even so, the value of the personal history storage area is initialized.

  In the personal history storage area, a game history (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs, AT history, production history, number of games between bonuses, achievement mission) from a game start operation associated with a long press of the effect switch 56 is stored. Accumulated. Furthermore, when a mission (issue) set in advance in the slot machine is achieved as in the case where a password is input, a history of achievement missions indicating the types of missions achieved is also accumulated. However, if a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the production switch 56 without entering a password, unlike the case where a password is entered, points will not be given and the level will not rise, and the story The stage is not advanced, and the production setting cannot be changed from the default setting.

  When the player finishes the game and performs a game end operation (select “Today's game data” on the main menu screen), the game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56. A two-dimensional code is generated from the game history from and displayed.

  Then, the player obtains the displayed two-dimensional code with the portable terminal 1100 and accesses the management server 1200, thereby allowing the player to carry the game history specified from the two-dimensional code. Corresponding to the terminal identification information of the terminal 1100, it can be reflected in the game history registered in the player database.

  The two-dimensional code displayed when the game is ended after the game is started by the start operation of the game accompanying the long press of the effect switch 56 is different from the case where the game is started by inputting the password. The URL indicating the location of the update page, the total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, the AT history, the production history, the number of games between bonuses, and the type of mission accomplished are stored. A two-dimensional code that does not include data such as the level value stored in the level storage area and the stage of the story stored in the story storage area is output.

  Then, this two-dimensional code is read by the portable terminal 1100, and by accessing the URL of the management server 1200 specified from the two-dimensional code, the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed portable terminal 1100 is already stored in the player database. When it is determined whether or not the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed mobile terminal has already been registered, the game history corresponding to the matching terminal identification information is updated. Yes.

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

  In the present embodiment, the use of the function for accumulating the game history can be started by pressing and holding the effect switch 56 once. However, the menu item on the main menu screen is different from “easy start”. It is good also as a structure which can provide the use start item of the function which accumulate | stores a game history, and can start the utilization of the function which accumulate | stores a game history by designating the said item, and the item by long press of the switch 56 for an effect and a main menu screen It is good also as a structure which can start utilization of the function which accumulate | stores game history in both of designation | designated.

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

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

  Specifically, by selecting “Easy Start” from the main menu screen shown in FIG. 22A, the sub CPU 91a acquires a starting random number from random numbers updated within a certain range, and is assigned to the RAM 91c. The obtained start random number is stored in the start random number storage area, and a two-dimensional code for the first start is generated and displayed. In this two-dimensional code, as shown in FIG. 28A, a URL indicating the location of the temporary registration page on the management server 1200 and a starting random number are stored, and this two-dimensional code is stored in the portable terminal. The terminal identification information (SIM data) assigned to the accessed mobile terminal 1100 and the starting random number specified from the two-dimensional code by accessing the URL of the management server 1200 that is read by 1100 and specified from the two-dimensional code Are temporarily registered in association with each other.

  On the other hand, in the slot machine 1, when “easy start” is selected, the personal history storage area (total number of games, number of BBs, number of RBs, AT history, performance history, number of games between bonuses, achievement mission) assigned to the RAM 91c is selected. The value is initialized.

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

  Then, when the player finishes the game, the player's game history stored in the personal history storage area, current level, production setting, achievement mission type, output game state, internal winning state are specified. The possible two-dimensional code is acquired, and the contents specified from the two-dimensional code can be reflected in the contents of a player database described later provided in the management server 1200.

  The two-dimensional code displayed when the game is finished after selecting “Easy Start” and starting the game is different from the case where the game is started by entering a password, as shown in FIG. 28 (b). URL indicating the location of the main registration page on the server, start random number stored in the start random number storage area, total number of games stored in the personal history storage area, BB count, RB count, AT history, Achievement of production history, number of games between bonuses, level value stored in level storage area, stage of story stored in story storage area, production settings 1 to 4 stored in production setting storage area The history of missions, the game state at the time of output, and the internal winning state are stored.

  Whether the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed portable terminal 1100 is provisionally registered by reading the two-dimensional code with the portable terminal 1100 and accessing the URL of the management server 1200 specified from the two-dimensional code. If the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the accessed mobile terminal is provisionally registered, the starting random number corresponding to the provisionally registered terminal identification information and the two-dimensional code are specified. The starting random number is determined to match, and on the condition that it matches, the game history identified from the two-dimensional code, the current level, the stage of the story, the effect setting, The achievement mission history is registered, and the player's data is fully registered. After that, the password is based on these data. It is possible to receive a row.

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

  As described above, the sub CPU 91a of the present embodiment switches to the basic screen after a predetermined time when no operation is performed after displaying the various menu screens that shift from the main menu screen. .

  The time until switching to the basic screen is determined for each screen. As shown in FIG. 26, the main menu screen and the password input OK screen are 1 minute, the end confirmation screen, the password input screen, the password input NG screen, 3 minutes are set for the two-dimensional code display screen, data clear screen, and member registration screen, and 30 seconds are set for the data clear completion screen.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 26, an end confirmation screen, a password input screen, a password input NG screen, a two-dimensional code display screen, a data clear screen, a member with a relatively long 3 minutes set as the time until switching to the basic screen are set. Regarding the registration screen, 30 seconds before switching to the basic screen, that is, 2 minutes and 30 seconds have passed since the transition to one of these screens, some operation is performed and another operation is performed, or any operation is also performed. If there is no selection operation during the period until the transition to the basic screen, the fact that the screen is switched to the basic screen is displayed on a part of the screen, and a prior notification for notifying that effect is executed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the main menu screen, that is, the screen in a state where a specific operation is not selected, the data clear screen, that is, the game is highly likely to be finished among the various menu screens shifted from the main menu screen. The screen is switched to the basic screen in a relatively short time when no operation is performed.

  On the other hand, a player who enters or reads a password, such as a password entry screen, that is, a screen that must be entered from the beginning if it is switched in the middle, or a screen that the player needs to read on the mobile terminal. Is a screen that requires relatively complicated work, and for those that are troublesome for the player if it is switched immediately, the time until switching to the basic screen when no operation is performed is set longer than the above screen. It has been.

  For this reason, a screen that requires a relatively complicated work by the player will not switch to the basic screen in a short time, but is sufficient for the player to complete the necessary work as the time until switching to the basic screen. Time is secured. In particular, the password entry screen, that is, if the screen is switched immediately, the password entered halfway must be reentered. It is only displayed, and if the 2D code cannot be acquired there, the game history will be initialized and it will not be possible to acquire it again. As the time until switching to the screen, sufficient time for the player to finish entering the password and obtaining the two-dimensional code is secured. Can be avoided as much as possible.

  On the other hand, the main menu screen, the data clear screen, etc. are switched to the basic screen when there is no operation even for a relatively short time, and only the main menu screen is displayed in the situation where no game is played. Even if the game is over or after the game is finished, even if you do not switch to the basic screen while clearing the data, the screen will switch to the basic screen in a relatively short time. Since it becomes possible to specify, it can prevent that the operation of a slot machine falls.

  In addition, on a screen with a relatively long 3 minutes as the time until switching to the basic screen, that is, a screen that requires a relatively complicated operation by the player, some operation is performed from a certain time before switching to the basic screen. If there is no selection operation during the period until the screen moves to another screen or no operation is performed, a prior notification is made to notify that the screen is switched to the basic screen. Even if the player does not perform a selection operation after a screen that requires relatively complicated work is displayed, the player can recognize that the screen will be switched to the basic screen in advance. It can prevent switching to the basic screen.

  Further, in this embodiment, in the screen shown in FIG. 26, that is, various menu screens (excluding the end confirmation screen) shifted from the main menu screen, when the stop switch 8C is operated for a predetermined time or longer, the screen shown in FIG. An end confirmation screen is displayed, and by selecting “YES” from “YES” and “NO”, the screen returns to the basic screen. That is, when various menu screens are displayed, it is possible to return to the basic screen by the player's operation without waiting for the passage of time. Further, in order to return from the menu screen to the basic screen, it is necessary to operate the stop switch 8C for a predetermined time or longer, that is, it is necessary to press and hold the switch for a long time. It is possible to prevent transition from the screen to the basic screen.

  When the sub CPU 91a of this embodiment inputs a password or inputs "Easy Start", or when a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56, the input of the password is also "Easy Start". "Is not input and the game start operation is not performed by the effect switch 56, and the effect mode is controlled to a specific effect mode different from the effect mode (normal effect mode) when the game is played.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 29 (a), specific display areas 51a and 51b are assigned to a part of the display area of the liquid crystal display 51. In the normal display mode, the display area shown in FIG. As shown, only regular patterns are displayed in the specific effect areas 51a and 51b.

  On the other hand, when controlled to the specific effect mode, as shown in FIG. 29 (b), characters based on the effect setting set by the player are displayed in the specific effect area 51a. In 51b, a point meter indicating the level value (level value specified from the password) of the player and the point value required until the next level rise is displayed. The target displayed in the specific effect areas 51a and 51b in the specific effect mode is not limited to the above. For example, the achievement status of the mission may be displayed.

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

  In addition, regardless of the normal effect mode or the specific effect mode, as shown in FIG. 29 (c), the specific effect region can be obtained by operating the stop switch 8C for a predetermined time or more while the basic screen is displayed. Although it is possible to delete 51a and 51b, in the default setting, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are displayed, and a game start operation (input of a password or “easy start”, When the effect switch 56 is pressed for a long time or when a game end operation (data clear or two-dimensional code display) is performed, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are erased until then. Effect areas 51a and 51b are displayed. Even when the stop switch 8C is operated for a predetermined time or more in a state where the basic screen is displayed and the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are deleted, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are displayed again. It has become.

  In the specific effect mode and the normal effect mode, the display modes in the areas other than the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are the same, and the same effect is performed. For example, regardless of the effect mode, an effect that rains in the background as shown in FIG. 31B is performed, thereby suggesting the result of the internal lottery as described later.

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

  In the present embodiment, the sub CPU 91a performs a normal effect lottery to determine whether or not to execute a simultaneous winning suggesting effect when watermelon and cherry are won (including simultaneous winning with a special role). As shown in FIGS. 31 (a) and 31 (b), the simultaneous winning suggestion effect includes an effect A and a specific effect region 51a in which the background other than the specific effect regions 51a and 51b is switched from a clear background to a raining state. In the normal effect lottery, the effect A and the effect B are switched at the selection rate shown in FIG. 30 (a). Is selected. In the regular production lottery, when either watermelon or cherry is won, there is a 100% probability that either production A or production B will not be selected. Production is not executed.

  As shown in FIG. 30 (b), in the normal effect lottery, the selection rate of the effect B at the time of simultaneous winning of the special role and the watermelon: B1 and the selection rate of the effect B at the time of the independent winning of watermelon: B1 Production A with the probability that the ratio of A will be higher than the ratio of the former: A1 in the selection ratio of production A: A1 when A1 and watermelon are elected alone: , B are selected. In addition, the selection ratio of production B at the time of simultaneous winning of special role and cherry: the selection ratio of production B at the time of single winning of B3 and cherry: the ratio of former: B3 in B4 is the same at the time of simultaneous winning of special role and cherry Selection rate of production A: Production A and B are selected with a probability higher than the ratio of former: A3 in the selection rate of production A: A4 at the time of single selection of production A3 and cherry.

  For this reason, the execution of these simultaneous win suggestion effects suggests that watermelons or cherries that may win at the same time as special roles may have been won. A feeling can be heightened.

  In addition, when the watermelon or cherry and special role are simultaneously elected, the ratio of the effects A and B to which the effect B simultaneous winning suggestion effect is executed is higher, so the effect B is simultaneously elected than the effect A. If the suggestion effect is executed, the expectation can be enhanced more for the special role.

  In addition, when it is determined in the normal effect lottery that the simultaneous winning suggestion effect of either effect A or B is executed, the sub CPU 91a further controls the specific effect region 51a, if controlled to the specific effect mode. In 51b, a specific effect lottery is performed to determine whether or not to execute a special role winning suggestion effect that notifies the possibility of winning a special role.

  The special role winning suggestion is a meter that indicates the winning expectation degree of the special role in the specific effect area 51b, in addition to the simultaneous win suggestion effect in the areas other than the specific effect areas 51a and 51b. Is displayed to indicate the possibility of winning the special role. As shown in FIGS. 31 (a) and 31 (b), the character in the specific effect area 51a speaks and is specified. As shown in FIGS. 32 (a) and 32 (b), a specific effect A in which a meter of the expected degree of winning corresponding to the effect region 51b is displayed, and the character in the specific effect region 51a speaks as “Large chance !!”. In the specific effect lottery, the specific effect B is displayed at the selection rate shown in FIG. 30 (c). Director B is selected. In the specific effect lottery, when the execution of the simultaneous winning suggestion effect is determined in the specific effect mode, either the specific effect A or the specific effect B is selected with a probability of 100%.

  As shown in FIG. 30 (d), in the specific effect lottery, the selection ratio of the specific effect B at the time of the simultaneous winning of the special role and the watermelon: b1 and the former ratio occupying the selection rate of the specific effect B at the time of the independent selection of the watermelon: b2 : The ratio of b1 is higher than the ratio of the former: a1 in the selection ratio of the specific performance A: when the special combination and the watermelon are simultaneously selected: Thus, the specific effects A and B are selected. In addition, the selection ratio of the specific performance B in the simultaneous winning of the special role and cherry: b3 and the selection rate of the specific performance B in the single winning of the cherry: b4 ratio of the former: b3 is the simultaneous selection of the special performance and cherry Selection rate of specific production A at the time: Selection rate of specific production a at the time of single winning of a3 and cherry: The specific production A and B are selected with a probability higher than the ratio of the former: a3 in a4 It has become.

  For this reason, when the watermelon or cherry and the special role are won simultaneously, the ratio of the specific effect B suggesting effect of the specific effect B among the specific effects A and B is increased, so that the specific effect A is higher than the specific effect A. The direction in which the special role winning suggestion effect of the specific effect B is executed can enhance the expectation for the special role winning.

  In addition, when controlled to the specific effect mode, in addition to the simultaneous winning suggestion effect, the special winning combination suggesting effect is executed, so that the same simultaneous winning suggestion effect is executed in the areas other than the specific effect areas 51a and 51b. Even if it is done, the possibility of winning the special role will be more accurately notified by the difference in the special role winning suggestion effect in the specific effect areas 51a and 51b.

  As described above, in this embodiment, in order to use the game history storage function, a game start operation is performed when a password is input or “Easy Start” is input, or when the effect switch 56 is pressed for a long time. In the specific effect mode controlled in the period until the game ending operation is performed, that is, the period in which the game history is collected, in the normal mode, in addition to the simultaneous winning suggestion effect that is also executed in the normal effect mode Since the special role winning suggestion that will not be executed can be executed, when the player inputs a password or enters “Easy Start”, or when the player starts the game by pressing the effect switch 56 for a long time. It is possible to promote the use, that is, the use of a function for accumulating a game history.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, in the specific effect mode, the special role winning suggestion effect is executed, and in the normal effect mode, in the simultaneous winning suggestion effect that only suggests one possibility, a more detailed special role is provided. Therefore, the player can know the possibility of winning the special role more accurately, so that the use of the function of accumulating the game history can be further promoted.

  Furthermore, as described above, there are premier effects that are executed on condition that the level is more than a certain level and the number of accumulated games and the number of accumulated bonuses are more than a certain number. A mission that is achieved by executing a premier performance that does not appear unless the level, cumulative game count, or bonus count exceeds a certain level, that is, the level, cumulative game count, bonus count, etc. Since missions that cannot be achieved unless the number is equal to or greater than a certain number are premised on the use of a function for accumulating game history, it is possible to further promote the use of the function for accumulating game history.

  In addition, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are assigned to the display area of the liquid crystal display 51, and in the specific effect mode, the display mode of the specific effect areas 51a and 51b is changed to an effect mode different from the normal effect mode. The production mode is controlled so that the production mode is different between the production mode and the normal production mode, and it is clear that the special role selection production that is different from the simultaneous production suggestion production is executed in the specific production mode. It is possible to prevent the suggested content from becoming difficult to understand due to overlapping of the suggestion effect and the special role selection suggestion effect.

  Moreover, since the display modes of the areas other than the specific effect areas 51a and 51b can be shared between the specific effect mode and the normal effect mode, it is possible to suppress the volume of image data and moving image data to be used.

  In the present embodiment, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b can be erased by operating the stop switch 8C for a predetermined time or more while the basic screen is displayed. It is possible to prevent the specific effect areas 51a and 51b, that is, the area in which the effect is not performed in the normal effect mode, from interfering with the player who plays the game without shifting to the above.

  By entering the password and shifting to the specific performance mode, the point meter indicating the level value specified from the password and the number of points required until the next level rise is displayed. The game history can be easily confirmed. Note that the game history displayed in the specific effect area is not limited to the level value and the number of points as described above, and the accumulated game number and accumulated bonus number, as well as the level value and accumulated game that are the execution conditions for the aforementioned effects. The number or the remaining value up to the cumulative bonus number may be displayed.

  In addition, it is possible to perform an effect using the specific effect areas 51a and 51b assigned to change the effect mode in the specific effect mode. For example, as shown in FIGS. 33 (a) to 33 (c), a wind effect is displayed in the background area, and the specific effect areas 51a and 51b themselves are moved accordingly, so that the specific effect area is changed in the background wind. 51a and 51b can be displayed as if they were skipped, and thereby the reaction of the character inside may be changed. By doing so, the specific effect areas 51a and 51b are effectively used as effects. can do.

  In this embodiment, the configuration can be shifted to the specific performance mode other than the input of the password. However, the configuration may be switched to the specific performance mode only when the password is input. Even if the operation for shifting to the specific effect mode for collecting the history is a password issued from the management server 1200 and the operation for inputting the password, that is, a complicated operation is required, the game history is accumulated. It is possible to promote the use of functions.

  In the present embodiment, when the sub CPU 91a inputs a password or “easy start”, or when a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56, the game end operation ( Until today's game data or data clear is selected), at the end of the bonus (whether BB or RB), a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the bonus is generated, and FIG. As shown, the generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. As shown in FIG. 36, the output two-dimensional code includes a URL indicating the location of the update page on the management server, and a game from the end of the previous bonus until the special role that triggered the bonus is won. The number of games between bonuses, the bonus type that is the type of the special role that triggered the bonus, the simultaneous winning combination of the special role that triggered the bonus, and the final effect of the bonus are executed The effect type at the time of finalization, which is the type of the effect that has led to (a suggestion of the possibility of winning the special role), and the additional effect (the advance notice of the effect, (Cut-in interrupted during production, production background different from normal, etc.) A to C are stored.

  Then, the management server 1200 reads the two-dimensional code by the portable terminal 1100 and accesses the URL of the management server 1200 specified from the two-dimensional code, so that the management server 1200 displays bonus information related to the bonus specified from the two-dimensional code. It is reflected in the contents of the player database provided.

  As shown in FIG. 37A, the data structure stored in the two-dimensional code that can specify the bonus information has a storage area allocated in advance for each data type. Specifically, the URL storage area (1 Kbyte), the bonus game number storage area (2 bytes), the bonus type storage area (1 byte), the simultaneous winning combination storage area (1 byte), and the finalized effect type A storage area (2 bytes), a storage area for additional effects A (2 bytes), a storage area for additional effects B (2 bytes), and a storage area for additional effects C (2 bytes) are assigned as respective storage areas.

  In the URL and the number of games between bonuses, the corresponding data itself is stored, whereas the bonus type, simultaneous winning combination, finalized effect type, and additional effect are shown in FIGS. 37B to 37E. In this way, an identification number for identifying each content is assigned, and each storage area of bonus type, simultaneous winning combination, finalized effect type, and additional effect is not the corresponding data itself but the corresponding data. Only the identification number corresponding to is stored in the corresponding storage area.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 37B to 37E, points are assigned to the bonus type, simultaneous winning combination, finalized effect type, and additional effect, and are specified from the two-dimensional code. Based on the bonus information related to the bonus, the management server 1200 can score the bonus based on the bonus information.

  A larger value is assigned to these points as the appearance rate is lower, and a higher score is obtained for a bonus in which a finalized effect is executed through an effect with a lower appearance rate and an additional effect.

  The additional effects are effects that can be executed in a plurality in association with an effect that has resulted in execution of the bonus finalization effect. In principle, the additional effects are executed in association with the effect in which the finalization effect of the bonus has been executed. The identification numbers indicating the additional effects are stored in the additional effects A to C, respectively. At this time, if the executed additional effect is 3 or less, FFFF (H) is stored in the storage area of the additional effects A to C in which the identification number of the additional effect is not stored.

  On the other hand, there may be a case where four or more additional effects are executed in association with an effect that results in the execution of one finalized effect. In this case, only three additional effects are stored in the additional effects A to C. The Rukoto.

  In the additional effect, as shown in FIG. 37 (e), a higher importance level is set for a value with a larger identification number, and when four or more additional effects are executed, the importance level is increased. The identification numbers of the three additional effects are stored in the storage areas of the additional effects A to C in descending order.

  The importance level is inversely proportional to the appearance rate of each additional effect, and the additional effect with a lower appearance rate is set to have a higher importance level. As a result, the three additional effects are ordered in descending order of the number of points given. Are stored in the storage areas of the additional effects A to C.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 34, when a bonus (whether BB or RB) ends, a screen on which a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the bonus is displayed surrounds the periphery of the two-dimensional code. A frame is displayed, and the color of the frame changes according to the total number of points given in the bonus information described above. The number of points given in the bonus information is stored in the number of games between bonuses (1 game = 1 point) + the number of points of bonus type + the number of points of simultaneous winning combination + the number of points of effect type at the time of determination + additional effect A The number of points of the additional effect + the number of points of the additional effect stored in the additional effect B + the number of points of the additional effect stored in the additional effect C. The color of the frame changes according to the number of points. The number of points of bonus information specified from the two-dimensional code can be recognized to some extent from the color of the frame of the two-dimensional code.

  Further, the two-dimensional code that can specify the bonus information is displayed not only at the end of the bonus but also until the next bonus, as shown in FIGS. ”Menu item is displayed, the bonus information (final effect type, number of games between bonuses, bonus type) up to three times before is displayed, and in this state, the effect switch 56 is turned on. By operating, a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the previous bonus is generated, and the generated two-dimensional code is displayed on the liquid crystal display 51 as shown in FIG. Even if the display of the 2D code is terminated without reading the 2D code that can specify the bonus information at the end of the bonus, Until eggplant, and it is capable of displaying the side two-dimensional code.

  As described above, in the slot machine 1 of the present embodiment, every time a bonus is generated, in addition to the two-dimensional code that can be specified from the game history from the start to the end of the game that is generated and displayed at the end of the game, the bonus is generated. At the end of the game, a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the bonus is generated and displayed, and the bonus information accumulated from the start of the game to the end of the game is generated at the end of the game. Since it is not necessary to add it to the code, a game history exceeding the amount of data that can be output by the two-dimensional code generated at the end of the game can be stored in an external device such as the management server 1200.

  In the present embodiment, when provisional registration is performed, a password is entered, a “simple start” is entered, or a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56, then, Until the end operation of the game (today's game data or data clear selection) is made, each time the bonus ends, a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the bonus is generated and displayed. The bonus information can be reflected on the management server 1200 side. However, only when the game is started by inputting a password, a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the bonus is provided at the end of the bonus. In addition to the configuration for generating and displaying, a configuration in which a password is stored in a two-dimensional code may be used. Thus, the management server 1200 can authenticate whether or not the bonus information is from a player who is currently playing, and the bonus information output when another player plays the game cannot be used. become.

  In the present embodiment, at the end of the bonus, a two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information related to the bonus is output. However, the two-dimensional code is output based on at least the occurrence of the bonus. Any configuration can be used, and the same effects as described above can be obtained even when the two-dimensional code is output at other timings such as when the bonus starts or during the bonus.

  Further, in this embodiment, a two-dimensional code that can specify information related to the bonus is output in response to a bonus that is a gaming state advantageous to the player, but at least a game advantageous to the player The present invention may be applied to other gaming states as long as a two-dimensional code that can specify information related to the gaming state is output when the state occurs.

  For example, in addition to bonuses, a gaming state in which the winning probability of a specific role (at least one of a small role, a replaying role, and a special role) is increased, and an operation mode advantageous for the player (for deriving an advantageous display mode) A game state in which an operation mode or an operation mode for avoiding the disadvantageous display mode) is notified, a game state in which a lottery of whether or not to control to a game state advantageous to the player is more advantageous than usual, etc. The game state may be applied as an advantageous game state for the player, and a two-dimensional code that can specify information related to the game state is output in response to the game state.

  In addition, if pachinko gaming machines that use pachinko balls are used as gaming machines, the number of gaming balls can be reduced more than usual, such as a game state in which more game balls can be acquired than usual, such as a big hit, and an electric chew support control state. Two-dimensional that can specify information related to the gaming state by using the gaming state with a higher hit probability than usual, such as a small gaming state, probability variation state, etc., as a gaming state advantageous to the player. A configuration in which a code is output may be used.

  Further, in this embodiment, the data structure stored in the two-dimensional code that can specify the bonus information has a storage area allocated in advance for each type of data, and is subdivided among the types of stored data. An identification number is assigned to each converted data, and only the identification number corresponding to the corresponding data is stored in each storage area, and the data constituting the bonus information (type name of effect pattern) For example, the amount of data that can be stored in the two-dimensional code as bonus information can be increased as compared with the case of storing each of them.

  In addition, a plurality of additional effects may be executed simultaneously as in the case of additional effects, but a plurality of additional effects are not always executed at the same time. The storage area will be compressed accordingly. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, only a smaller number of storage areas (additional effects A to C) than the maximum necessary number are allocated, and importance is assigned to the corresponding data, so that more data than the number of storage areas is allocated. When this occurs, only data that can be stored in descending order of importance is stored in the storage area. For this reason, it is not necessary to secure a storage area for data that is uncertain whether or not it occurs, and even when the number of storage areas is exceeded, high-priority data is reliably output and stored externally. It becomes possible.

  In the present embodiment, the greater the number of points according to the type of additional effect, the higher the importance, and the identification number indicating the additional effect with a high point is preferentially stored. Even when a shortage of additional effects occurs, data that is most advantageous to the player is output.

  In this embodiment, for each data category, only one storage area is allocated (bonus type, simultaneous winning combination, finalized effect type storage area) and one category. A storage area (a storage area for additional effects A to C) in which a plurality of storage areas are assigned to data is mixed, but a configuration including only one of the storage areas is also possible.

  In addition, when only a storage area to which a plurality of storage areas are assigned to data classified into one category is assigned, only a smaller number of storage areas than the maximum required number are assigned and the corresponding data is assigned. When the importance is assigned and more data than the number of storage areas is generated, it is preferable that only the data that can be stored in the order of importance is stored in the storage area. With this configuration, there is no need to secure a storage area for data that is uncertain whether or not it occurs, and even when the number of storage areas is exceeded, high-priority data is reliably output, It can be stored externally.

  Further, in this embodiment, a frame surrounding the two-dimensional code is displayed on the screen on which the two-dimensional code that can specify bonus information is displayed, and the total number of points given in the bonus information described above is displayed. Accordingly, the color of the frame changes, and the number of points of bonus information specified from the two-dimensional code can be recognized to some extent from the color of the frame of the two-dimensional code.

  In this embodiment, the greater the number of points, the greater the number of bonus points accumulated in the management server 1200 and the greater the number of benefits that can be acquired accordingly. Therefore, the greater the number of points, the higher the importance. Even if the bonus information is simply coded information and the contents cannot be immediately understood, the number of points of the bonus information specified from the two-dimensional code from the color of the frame of the two-dimensional code That is, the importance of the information specified from the two-dimensional code can be recognized.

  In the present embodiment, the importance level of the bonus information specified from the two-dimensional code is notified by the difference in the color of the frame of the two-dimensional code. However, if the notification mode can recognize the importance level, The notification may be made in any manner, and the notification is not limited to the display manner of the liquid crystal display 51, and may be notified by the lighting manner of the LED or the like, or the output of sound or sound effect.

  Further, in this embodiment, as described later, when a privilege is given in the management server 1200, the game accumulated according to the game history from the game start to the game end specified from the two-dimensional code output at the end of the game. Bonus history (additional achievement achievement rate and bonus points described later) accumulated according to history (levels and mission achievement rates described later), bonus information related to the bonus specified from the two-dimensional code output at the end of the bonus Etc.), both of the histories satisfy a certain condition, and otherwise, a specific privilege that is not granted is given to the player, and is output at the end of the game 2 In addition to the storage of the dimensional code and the game history specified from the two-dimensional code, the two-dimensional code that is output every time a bonus is generated It can prompt also acquire and accumulation of bonus information identified from the 2-dimensional code.

  Next, the management server 1200 according to the present embodiment will be described. The management server 1200 includes a general server computer including a CPU, a RAM, and the like, and can be accessed from the portable terminal 1100 via the Internet. Management of game history, issuance of passwords, and provision of benefits. Note that the management server 1200 of this embodiment can be accessed only from the terminal to which the terminal identification information (SIM data) is assigned, and the terminal to which the terminal identification information is not assigned or the terminal identification information is assigned. However, access is denied to terminals that refuse to transmit terminal identification information.

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

  As shown in FIG. 38 (a), the player database includes content and the like on a site configured by the management server 1200 corresponding to terminal identification information (SIM data) that can identify a portable terminal owned by the player. Fever points available for exchange, current status (standby, playing), password (last issued), number of accesses (number of passwords issued), total number of games to date, total number of BBs, Total number of RBs, current level, stage of current story, setting contents of production settings 1 to 4, achievement status for each mission (1 for missions that have been achieved, 0 for missions that have not yet been completed), bonus points (bonus information (Cumulative value of points totaled based on) and achievement status by additional effects (1 for additional effects that have been achieved and 0 for unachieved additional effects) It has been.

  As shown in FIG. 38 (b), the game history database is associated with terminal identification information (SIM data) that can identify the mobile terminal owned by the player who played the game, and corresponds to the game end date and time. Date and time (simulation date and time), type (“actual machine” for games, “application” for simulations), password issued at the start of the game, and randomly acquired by the slot machine 1 at the end of the game Game random number, number of games in the game, number of BBs in the game, number of RBs in the game, level value at the end of the game, story stage at the end of the game, end of the game The setting contents of the time production settings 1 to 4, the achievement status by mission in the game, the AT history, the production history, the game state at the time of output, the internal winning state, and the like are stored.

  In FIG. 38 (b), the AT history, the production history, the game state at the time of output, and the internal winning state are not clearly shown due to space limitations, but the AT history is stored in the personal history storage area described above. As with the AT history, the number of games at the time of occurrence, the number of games in the AT, the number of medals earned in the AT, etc. are stored for each AT such as the first AT and the second AT generated in the game. The The effect history is also composed of an effect ID that can identify the effect that has been executed and the number of games in which the effect has been executed, in the same way as the effect history stored in the personal history storage area. As described above, as the game state at the time of output, the game state flag assigned to each game state and the data of the RT flag are stored, so that the game state at the end of the game can be specified. As data of the internal winning state, data in a predetermined description format that can specify whether or not BB or RB has been won and the number of assigned navigation stocks is stored, so that the internal winning state at the end of the game can be specified .

  Regarding the game state at the time of output and the internal winning state included in each game history, the elapsed period from the game date and time is erased when the simulation possible period described later has passed, Since the data of the game state at the time of output and the internal winning state used for these simulations are stored unnecessarily even after the implementation period, the storage capacity required by these data increases, and the management server An increase in the storage load at 1200 is avoided.

  As shown in FIG. 38 (c), the privilege database corresponds to the privilege ID that can identify the privilege, the storage location of the privilege data, the type of privilege data, the type of condition for granting the privilege, the condition of the corresponding type A value is stored. As the type of condition, a level, a mission achievement rate (%), the number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, a specific mission number (specific mission), etc. can be set, and a condition value or mission number according to the type By being satisfied, a privilege corresponding to the condition is added to the award that can be acquired.

  As shown in FIG. 38 (d), the temporary registration database includes the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the mobile terminal that has transmitted the start registration request, the start random number specified from the start registration request, and the start registration. The registration date and time when the request was received, bonus points (cumulative value of points totaled based on bonus information), achievement status for each additional effect (1 for achieved additional effects, 0 for unachieved additional effects) Are registered in association with each other.

  Next, the operation of the management server 1200 when performing membership registration by accessing the management server from the mobile terminal 1100 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 39, when performing membership registration with the mobile terminal 1100, the mobile terminal 1100 first accesses the member registration page of the management server 1200. Then, member information such as a name is input on the member registration page, and a member registration request including the input member information and terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 is transmitted to the management server 1200.

  When a membership registration request is made from the portable terminal 1100, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal identification information of the portable terminal that has made the membership registration request matches the terminal identification information already registered in the player database. If there is matching terminal identification information, the member corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is determined by updating the already registered member information or assuming that only the terminal identification information has been registered by simple start. The information is updated to the member information specified from the member registration request, and the registration result is notified to the mobile terminal that has made the member registration request.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that made the member registration request does not match the terminal identification information already registered in the player database, the member registration is performed as a member registration request by an unregistered player. The terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that made the request and the member information specified from the member registration request are associated with each other and newly registered in the player database, and the registration result is notified to the mobile terminal that made the member registration request.

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

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

  As shown in FIG. 40, when “Easy Start” is selected in the slot machine 1, a starting random number is acquired, and a URL indicating the location of the temporary registration page and a starting random number can be specified at the first starting time. A two-dimensional code is generated and displayed.

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

  When a start registration request is made from the mobile terminal 1100, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the start registration request matches the terminal identification information already registered in the player database. If there is matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal is notified that the registration is impossible.

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

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

  Then, when the player finishes the game and selects “Create 2-dimensional code” from the main menu screen, the starting random number stored in the starting random number storage area and various data stored in the personal history storing area ( The total number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, etc.), the level value stored in the level storage area, the stage of the story stored in the story storage area, and the effect settings 1 to 4 stored in the effect setting storage area A two-dimensional code is generated from these data and the URL indicating the location of the main registration page and displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, and also includes a personal history storage area and a level storage. The area, the story storage area, and the effect setting storage area are initialized, and the specific effect mode is shifted to the normal effect mode.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the mobile terminal 1100, and sends an end-time registration request including the start random number, the game history, and the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 analyzed from the two-dimensional code to the management server 1200. Accordingly, the terminal identification information and the initial game history can be registered in the player database and game history database of the management server 1200.

  When a termination registration request is made from the portable terminal 1100, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal identification information of the portable terminal that has made the termination registration request matches the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database. If there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal is notified that registration is impossible.

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

  If both start random numbers match, the terminal identification information of the portable terminal that made the end registration request is newly registered in the player database, and the terminal identification information is associated with the terminal identification information from the end registration request. Registering the specified game history in the player database, registering the game history specified from the end registration request in association with the terminal identification information and the game date and time (current date and time data) in the game history database, Notify the completion of the main registration to the mobile terminal that made the registration request at the end.

  In addition, when both start random numbers match, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the registration request at the end is newly registered in the player database, and at the same time, the terminal identification information in the temporary registration database and the corresponding The starting random number and registration date / time are deleted. If bonus points and additional achievement achievement statuses are registered corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information in the temporary registration database, these bonus points and additional production achievement statuses are also stored in the player database before deletion. sign up.

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

  Next, operations of the management server 1200 and the slot machine 1 when issuing a password and playing a game in the slot machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 41, when a new password issuance request is made from the portable terminal 1100, the management server 1200 identifies the terminal identification information registered in the player database as the terminal identification information of the portable terminal that issued the issuance request. It is determined whether or not the information matches the information, and if there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal is notified that it is not issued.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has issued the request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the player sets the level, story stage, and effect setting corresponding to the terminal identification information. Get password from database and issue password.

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

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

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

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

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

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

  Then, when the player ends the game and selects “Create 2D code” from the main menu screen, the password stored in the password storage area and various data stored in the personal history storage area (total number of games, BB count, RB count, AT history, production history, etc.), level value stored in the level storage area, story stage stored in the story storage area, production setting 1 stored in the production setting storage area A game random number is acquired from a game history consisting of ˜4 and a random number updated within a certain range, a two-dimensional code is generated from these data and a URL indicating the location of the update page, and the liquid crystal display 51 In addition, the personal history storage area is initialized and the specific effect mode is shifted to the normal effect mode.

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

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

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that made the update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the password identified from the update request is changed to the terminal identification identified from the update request. The password is checked against the password registered in the player database in association with the information. If the password specified from the update request matches the password registered in the player database, the player is authenticated as the player who issued the password, and the password specified from the update request and The game random number is compared with the password and the game random number registered in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request in the game history database, and it is determined whether or not they match. Update data corresponding to the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database based on the game history specified from the update request, and update the request in association with the terminal identification information and the game date and time (current date and time data). Register various data such as game history and game random numbers specified in the game history database, and Update the status while waiting, it notifies the update completion to the portable terminal 1100 which made the update request. On the other hand, if the password and game random number specified from the update request match the password and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request, Since there is an extremely high possibility that the update request is the same two-dimensional code used for the update request, the mobile terminal is notified that the update is impossible.

  Further, as a result of checking the password specified from the update request with the password registered in the player database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request, when both passwords do not match, It is determined whether only one of the characters is a difference of 1 o'clock before and after the arrangement in the password input. The difference of 1 o'clock before and after the arrangement when entering the password is one character before and after the password entry screen shown in FIG. 23B. For example, if the regular password is “Z”, the 1 o'clock before and after that is “ “Y” and “=” correspond.

  And if only one of the characters is a difference other than the difference of one hour before and after, that is, if two or more characters are different or one character is different, but it is not one hour before and after, update The mobile terminal is notified that it is impossible. On the other hand, if it is a difference of 1 hour before and after only one of the characters, it is temporarily authenticated that the player who issued the password is satisfied, and the password specified from the update request and The game random number is compared with the password and the game random number registered in association with the terminal identification information specified from the update request in the game history database, and it is determined whether or not they match. Based on the game history specified from the update request, the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated and specified from the update request in association with the terminal identification information and the game date and time (current date and time data). Game history and game random numbers are registered in the game history database, the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is updated during standby, and an update request is made. It was notifying the update completion to the mobile terminal 1100.

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

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

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

  Next, operations of the management server 1200 and the slot machine 1 when playing a game in the slot machine 1 without issuing a password will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 42, when a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56 in the slot machine 1, the game history stored in the personal history storage area is initialized and a specific effect is obtained from the normal effect mode. Enter mode. Even in the specific effect mode, when a game start operation is performed in response to a long press of the effect switch 56, the game history is initialized.

  Then, when the player ends the game and selects “Create 2D Code” from the main menu screen, the total number of games, BB times, RB times, AT history, production history, A game history consisting of various data such as the type of mission accomplished, a game random number is acquired from a random number updated within a certain range, and a two-dimensional code is generated from these data and a URL indicating the location of the update page, In addition to being displayed on the liquid crystal display 51, the personal history storage area is initialized, and a transition is made from the specific effect mode to the normal effect mode.

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

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

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the simple update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the game history and game random number specified from the simple update request, and the game history The game history and game random numbers registered in association with the terminal identification information specified from the simple update request in the database are collated to determine whether or not they match. The corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated based on the specified game history, and is specified from the simple update request in association with the terminal identification information and the game date and time (current date and time data). The mobile phone which registered the game history and game random number in the game history database, updated the status of the corresponding terminal identification information during standby, and made a simple update request Notifying the update completion to the end 1100.

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

  On the other hand, when the game history and game random number specified from the simple update request match the game history and game random number registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information specified from the simple update request. Is very likely to be a simple update request using the same two-dimensional code used for the previous simple update request, and therefore notifies the mobile terminal that it cannot be updated.

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

  In the recommended password guidance, by playing a game after receiving a password, you can take over the level, story stage, production settings, etc. Therefore, the content prompting the user to receive a password is provided.

  Next, the operations of the management server 1200 and the slot machine 1 when the bonus ends or when the bonus information display operation is selected will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 43, in the slot machine 1, a specific effect mode, that is, temporary registration is performed, a password is input, or a game start operation associated with a long press of the effect switch 56 is performed, so that the specific effect mode is controlled. If a bonus is generated in the state where the bonus is generated, bonus information including the number of games between bonuses, bonus type, simultaneous winning combination, finalized effect type, and additional effect is acquired, and these data and bonus information are updated. A two-dimensional code is generated from the URL indicating the location of the page and displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The same applies to the case where the “main menu” is displayed, “bonus history” is selected, and the bonus information is displayed. In this case, the bonus information related to the immediately preceding bonus is acquired. A two-dimensional code is generated and displayed.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the portable terminal 1100 and makes a bonus information update request including bonus information analyzed from the two-dimensional code and terminal identification information of the portable terminal 1100 to the management server 1200. Thus, it can be reflected in the player database (or temporary registration database).

  When a bonus information update request is made from the portable terminal 1100, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal identification information of the portable terminal that has made the bonus information update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database. If the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the bonus information update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the bonus information update request is based on the bonus information specified from the bonus information update request. The corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is updated, and the completion of the update is notified to the portable terminal 1100 that made the bonus information update request.

  Specifically, the bonus information specified from the bonus information update request further specifies the number of games between bonuses, the bonus type, the simultaneous winning combination, the finalized effect type, and the additional effect, and it is applicable when the additional effect is specified. The additional achievement achievement status is updated, and the number of points based on the bonus information is totaled and added to the bonus points in the player database.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the bonus information update request does not match the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the bonus information update request is It is determined whether or not it matches the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database, and if there is no matching terminal identification information, the mobile terminal is notified that the update is impossible. Further, when the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the bonus information update request matches the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database, the temporary registration is performed based on the bonus information specified from the bonus information update request. The corresponding item of the corresponding terminal identification information in the database is updated, and the update completion is notified to the portable terminal 1100 that made the bonus information update request.

  Next, operation | movement of the management server 1200 at the time of providing a privilege is demonstrated based on FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 44, when a privilege is obtained with the mobile terminal 1100, the privilege grant page of the management server 1200 is first accessed from the mobile terminal 1100. Then, a privilege request including the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal 1100 is transmitted to the management server 1200 on the privilege grant page.

  When a privilege request is made from the mobile terminal, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the privilege request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database. If there is no terminal identification information to be notified, the mobile terminal is notified that the request is not possible.

  On the other hand, if the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has made the privilege request matches the terminal identification information registered in the player database, the player database is informed based on the terminal identification information specified from the privilege request. Get the player's game history.

  Next, the privilege data satisfying the grant condition is extracted based on the condition type and the condition value of the privilege database and the game history acquired from the player database, and the privilege list is created and the portable terminal 1100 that has made the privilege request is extracted. Deliver to

  When a desired privilege is selected from the privilege list on the mobile terminal 1100 that has acquired the privilege list, data indicating the selected privilege type is transmitted to the management server 1200. In response, the management server 1200 corresponds to the privilege type. The privilege data extracted from the storage location of the privilege data to be distributed is distributed to the portable terminal 1100 that made the privilege request, and the player who made the privilege request based on this acquires the privilege data. .

  In particular, in this embodiment, as the grant conditions, the game history accumulated according to the game history (level, mission achievement rate, clear of specific mission, etc.), the bonus specified from the two-dimensional code output at the end of the bonus, There is a specific benefit that is determined that the history of both bonus history (additional effect achievement rate, bonus points, etc.) accumulated according to related bonus information satisfies certain conditions. Can not be acquired unless only the bonus information read from the two-dimensional code that can be acquired at the end of the bonus and the bonus information read from the two-dimensional code that can be acquired at the end of the bonus.

  As described above, in the gaming system of the present embodiment, by issuing a password issuance request at the portable terminal 1100, a password for specifying past gaming history is acquired, and a game is played at the slot machine 1. By inputting at the start, it becomes possible to execute the production reflecting the past game history, that is, the level, story stage, and production settings when played on other slot machines, etc. By obtaining a two-dimensional code at the terminal 1100 and making an update request, the game history of the player managed by the management server 1200 is updated to a new game history, and the next new game history is specified. Since the password can be acquired, it is possible to perform a continuous performance over a long period of time.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, the slot machine 1 is configured to analyze a password input by a player and specify a past game history, so that each gaming machine such as the slot machine 1 and other gaming machines, Without connecting to the management server 1200, it is also possible to perform effects reflecting past game histories that have been played on other gaming machines.

  In addition, the password issued by the management server 1200 is registered in association with the terminal identification information for which the password issuance request is made, and is further outputted to end the game in the slot machine 1 and specify a new game history. The two-dimensional code also includes the password entered at the start of the game, the update request includes the password specified from the two-dimensional code, and the password registered in the management server 1200 and the password included in the update request By verifying, it is authenticated that the player is the player who issued the password, and the player's game history is updated to a new game history on the condition that the player has been authenticated. Even if three parties obtain another person's password and play a game to obtain a two-dimensional code, or obtain another person's two-dimensional code, the two-dimensional The game history specified from the game cannot be reflected in its own game history, and it is possible to take over a new game history by a player who has been issued a password, while the game that has received a password issuance It becomes impossible for a player other than the player to take over the game history. As a result, it is meaningless to divert or steal a password or a two-dimensional code. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the diversion or theft of a password and a two-dimensional code.

  In addition, since the management server 1200 generates a random value every time a password issuance request is issued from the portable terminal 1100 and is issued, the same password is used when a game history having the same content is specified. However, since it is difficult to tamper with the password, it is possible to more reliably prevent the diversion or theft of the password and the two-dimensional code.

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

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

  For this reason, in the management server 1200 according to the present embodiment, even when the password registered in the management server 1200 and the password included in the update request do not match, only one character has a difference of 1 hour before and after. The player is authenticated as a player who has been issued a password, assuming that a specific condition that is presumed to be an input error is satisfied, and the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database is determined based on the game history specified from the update request. The corresponding item is updated, and even if the player enters the password incorrectly, the game history is updated if the error is within a range that satisfies a specific condition that is presumed to be an input error. This makes it possible to prevent the game history of playing games during that time from being wasted.

  In addition, if the player who made the update request with the password registered in the management server 1200 matching the password included in the update request is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, the identification is made from the update request. While all the corresponding items of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database are updated based on the played game history, the password registered in the management server 1200 does not match the password included in the update request When one of the characters is a difference of 1 hour before and after, and the player who made the update request is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, assuming that a specific condition presumed to be an input error is satisfied Among the corresponding items of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database, the total number of games, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, Only items that do not affect the continuity of the game history, such as the types of achievement missions that can appear at the level value of the corresponding terminal identification information recorded, are updated, the level, the stage of the story, the production settings, and the corresponding terminal identification information Items that affect the continuity of the game history, such as the types of achievement missions that do not appear with the level value of, are not updated, for example, the level value falls below the original level value, the story As a result of playing a game with an incorrect password, such as skipping the stage or causing a contradiction in the effect setting or the type of mission accomplished, it is possible to prevent a game history that has trouble with continuity from being updated.

  In addition, the password registered in the management server 1200 and the password included in the update request do not match, only one character is a difference of 1 hour before and after, and a specific condition presumed to be an input error is satisfied. When the player who made the update request is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, the password does not completely match in the update completion notification to the mobile terminal 1100 that made the update request. However, since it was informed that it was in the range of input mistakes, and therefore, only some items that did not affect continuity were updated, the player missed the password entry, but the game history It is possible to recognize that the game has been updated successfully, and to identify the cause of any game history that has not been updated.

  In this embodiment, the specific condition that the password is assumed to be an input error is that only one character has a difference of 1 hour before and after, but the password registered in the management server 1200 and the update request If the passwords included in the password are similar to each other and it is estimated that there is a high possibility of an input error, it can be applied as a specific condition only by the fact that both passwords differ by only one character. Alternatively, it may be applied as a specific condition by having a difference of 1 hour before and after up to 2 characters. In addition, when different characters in both passwords are characters that are likely to be mistaken, such as “O” and “0”, even if a similar condition such as a difference between uppercase and lowercase letters is applied as a specific condition good.

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

  Further, in this embodiment, the game history managed by the management server 1200 includes data that may interfere with continuity such as level, story stage, production setting, and the like. Since a two-dimensional code that can specify a game history including data that may hinder the performance is output, the password registered in the management server 1200 does not match the password included in the update request. If the player who made the update request is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, assuming that the specific condition presumed to be an input error is satisfied, the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database corresponds. Among the items, the achievement miss that can appear at the total game number, BB number, RB number, and the level value of the corresponding terminal identification information registered in the player database Only items that do not affect the continuity of the game history, such as the type of game, are updated. However, all the game histories managed by the management server 1200 are data that does not impair the continuity. If there is no restriction as described above, the password registered in the management server 1200 does not match the password included in the update request, and the update request Even when the performed player is authenticated as the player who has issued the password, all corresponding items of the corresponding terminal identification information in the player database can be updated.

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

  In addition, even if the game history specified from the two-dimensional code acquired by playing the game after the password is issued is reflected in the game history managed by the management server 1200, the level or story reflected at the next password issue There is a possibility that the same password may be issued without changing the stage and the production setting.

  As described above, when a password issuance request is accepted, even if the status of the corresponding terminal identification information is in game, the issuance of password is not prohibited. If you finish the game before changing the production settings and get a two-dimensional code, you can make an update request with the same two-dimensional code as many times as you like. There may be a problem that the game history such as the number of games, the number of BBs, and the number of RBs can be updated many times.

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

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

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

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

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

  Further, in this embodiment, when the management server 1200 issues a password, a random number is acquired, and the bits constituting the random number are set between the bits in the plurality of bits created by setting the game history. Passwords are generated based on the data obtained by inserting them as hash values, and even if the game history is similar, it is difficult for passwords to be similar, so passwords can be analyzed and tampered Difficult to do.

  In addition, the hash value may be inserted at a predetermined place between bits, but in the present embodiment, between the bits in a plurality of bits constituting one item of the game history (for example, Between the 8 bits constituting the level value) and the bits constituting one item of the game history and the bits constituting the other item of the game history (the bits constituting the level value and the bits constituting the anniversary) Since the hash value is inserted in both of the passwords, the password can be further varied.

  Also, in this embodiment, when the management server 1200 issues a password, a random number is acquired, and the multi-bit data created by setting the game history is shifted by the acquired random number (random value). In this configuration, a random value is added to the data after the shift, and the bits constituting the game history item can be changed every time it is issued. Therefore, even if the game history is the same, the password is the same. It becomes difficult to analyze or tamper with the password.

  In the present embodiment, when the management server 1200 issues a password, the multi-bit data created by setting the game history is converted into characters according to the password analysis table shown in FIG. However, the relationship between the numerical value and the character in the password analysis table is not in a regular order as shown in FIG. 27A, for example, “A” “B” “C” “D” “E”. The characters corresponding to... Are not in the order of regular “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”, etc., but “10”, “3”, “22”, “8”, “5”, etc. By using a regular order, it becomes difficult to digitize passwords, and it becomes more difficult to analyze and falsify passwords.

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

  In particular, in this embodiment, since the use of the function for accumulating the game history can be started by simply pressing the effect switch 56 once, even the player who has started the game immediately accumulates the game history. Functions can be used easily.

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

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

  Further, in this embodiment, by inputting “easy start” in the slot machine 1, a random number at the start is acquired, and a password is input only by displaying a two-dimensional code that can identify the random number at the start. It is possible to play a game in the same manner as when a password is entered. Then, at the end of the game, a two-dimensional code that can specify the game history from the input of “easy start” to the end and the starting random number acquired when the “easy start” is input is displayed. Then, the player makes a start registration request to the management server 1200 based on the two-dimensional code displayed at the start of the game, and registers the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal and the start random number in the temporary registration database. By making a registration request at the end to the management server 1200 based on the two-dimensional code displayed at the end of the game, the management server 1200 side starts the random number at the start specified from the registration request at the end, the management server 1200 On the condition that the starting random number registered in the temporary registration database matches the starting random number sent in the starting registration request, that is, The player's terminal identification information and game history are newly registered in the player database of the management server 1200, and the next time the password is issued, It is possible to take over the gravel. For this reason, a player who uses the game history storage function for the first time does not need to access the management server 1200 in advance and register as a member before playing a game. The two-dimensional code displayed by inputting “easy start” In this case, it is possible to start a game similar to the case where the password is input by accessing the management server 1200 once, and then access the management server 1200 with the two-dimensional code displayed by the end operation of the game. Thus, it is possible to register and store the game history during that time in the player database of the management server 1200.

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

  Further, in this embodiment, the terminal identification information registered in the temporary registration database, the corresponding start random number, and the registration date and time are maintained until the next day of the registration date even if the main registration is not performed in response to the end registration request. However, after that, even if the main registration is not performed due to the registration request at the end, temporary registration information that is unlikely to match will be deleted after the lapse of a predetermined period. Therefore, the storage capacity of the management server 1200 can be saved.

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

  Further, in this embodiment, only the mobile terminal to which the terminal identification information is given and the transmission of the terminal identification information is permitted allows the management server 1200 to access the mobile terminal. The player is specified based on the terminal identification information given to the user, and it is possible to effectively prevent unauthorized use of other people's information.

  FIG. 48 is a flowchart showing the flow of the game history display response process executed by the management server 1200 of this embodiment. This process is a process for responding to a request from a web browser executed on the mobile terminal 1100 regarding the game history.

  FIG. 52 is a first diagram illustrating transition of screens displayed on the mobile terminal 1100 according to the present embodiment. 52 (a) and 52 (b), a two-dimensional code (two-dimensional code that can identify today's game history etc.) controlled by the control unit 110 of the portable terminal 1100 and read by the camera unit 190 2D code that can specify bonus information) is analyzed by a reading application that reads and analyzes the two-dimensional code executed by the control unit 110 of the mobile terminal 1100, and includes a parameter that can specify a game history. A history update URL for updating the game history is displayed on the display unit 140 of the mobile terminal 1100.

  The player confirms the history update URL displayed on the display unit 140 and confirms the guidance display of “Do you want to update history? Yes / No” displayed in the subwindow together with the history update URL, When updating, select “Yes”, and when not updating history, select “No”. When “No” is selected, the mobile terminal 1100 (control unit 110) erases the read data such as the history update URL without accessing the management server 1200 and ends the process.

  On the other hand, when “Yes” is selected, the mobile terminal 1100 (control unit 110) accesses the management server 1200 indicated by the history update URL by executing the browser program.

  Referring to FIG. 48, in step S101, control unit 210 of management server 1200 determines whether or not the history update URL has been accessed by the web browser of portable terminal 1100. If it is determined that there is no access (NO in step S101), control unit 210 advances the process to be performed to the process in step S111.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the history update URL has been accessed (YES in step S101), in step S102, the control unit 210 identifies the mobile terminal 1100 included in the accessed packet. The terminal identification information is extracted, and the game history information managed for the user corresponding to the terminal identification information is updated with the current game history specified by a parameter that can specify the game history included in the URL, A new game history is additionally registered in the game history database in association with the terminal identification information (SIM data).

  Then, in response to the completion of the update and registration, an update completion page distribution process (step S103) for distributing the completion page shown in FIG. 52C to the mobile terminal 1100 and receiving the player's confirmation operation is performed. carry out.

  As shown in FIG. 52C, the completion page is provided with a “confirm” operation menu, and the completion page is displayed in response to an input operation of the “confirm” operation menu by the player. Is displayed, and the menu page (personal menu page) shown in FIG. 52 (d) is displayed.

  As shown in FIG. 52 (d), this menu page (personal menu page) is a dedicated page for the player (Mr. A), and “0” for displaying the updated latest game history (this time). Various menu items such as “current game history display” menu (link) and “6. simulation after completion” for executing simulation of the completed game are selectable.

  FIG. 49 is a flowchart showing a flow of history display processing (step S146) executed by the management server 1200 when the menu item “current game history display” is selected on the menu page (Yes in step S145 in FIG. 48). It is. 49, in step S151, the control unit 210 of the management server 1200 transmits a digest confirmation display screen for confirming whether or not to display a game history digest to the requesting mobile terminal 1100.

  As a result, when the menu item “Display current game history” is selected on the menu page, as shown in FIG. 52 (e), it is confirmed whether or not to display the digest of the game history in addition to the game history. A digest confirmation display screen including “Yes” link for selecting that the user wants to display and “No” link for selecting that he / she does not want to display is displayed.

  Hereinafter, when the management server 1200 transmits a screen (or display) to the mobile terminal 1100, the management server 1200 transmits data for displaying the screen to the mobile terminal 1100, and the mobile terminal 1100 executes a web browser. The display of the screen based on the data.

It transmits to the portable terminal 1100. This digest display is the same screen as the screen described in FIG. 52 (f) and FIG. 52 (h).

  In the next step S196, the control unit 210 transmits the character display of the game history of the designated date of the designated user to the requesting mobile terminal 1100. The character display of this game history is the same screen as the screen described in FIG.

  Next, in step S197, the control unit 210 transmits the menu page of the public information of the designated user to the requesting mobile terminal 1100. Thereafter, the control unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process of the caller of this other person history display process.

  Referring back to FIG. 48, in step S143, the control unit 210 selects the date for displaying the memo display, which is displayed next, when the “2. Memo display” link is selected on the menu page of the public information of the designated user. It is determined whether or not a date is selected on the memo display date selection screen for selection. This memo display date selection screen is the same as the screen described with reference to FIG.

  If it is determined that “2. Memo display” and date have not been selected (NO in step S143), control unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process of the caller of this process.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that “2. Memo display” and date have been selected (YES in step S143), in step S144, the control unit 210 displays the memo display screen of the specified date of the specified user as the request source. To the portable terminal 1100. This memo display screen is the same screen as the screen described in FIG. Thereafter, the control unit 210 returns the process to be executed to the process of the caller of this process.

  Referring back to FIG. 48, in step S147, the control unit 210 selects the link “6. Simulation after completion” on the menu page shown in FIG. 58B (same as FIG. 52D or FIG. 54A). It is determined whether or not. If it is determined that the link is not selected (NO in step S147), control unit 210 returns the process to be executed to step S101.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the link has been selected (YES in step S1147), the process proceeds to step S148, and the control unit 210 proceeds to a game simulation after the end of the updated (current) game history. To carry out the simulation transfer process.

  In this simulation transition process, the control unit 210 includes the latest game history to be simulated in the game history database registered in association with the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the mobile terminal 1100. An execution condition determination process is performed in which the game history having the latest game data is specified, and it is determined whether or not the specified latest game history satisfies the simulation execution conditions.

  Specifically, the simulation execution condition is that the simulation for the specified latest game history has not been executed, and the end of the game corresponding to the game history specified from the “game date and time” of the specified latest game history It is a condition that the elapsed period from the time is within a predetermined feasible period and that the game state at the end of the game is a game state to be simulated.

  The fact that the simulation for the specified latest game history has not been performed can be specified by the fact that the type of the specified latest game history is not “application” but “actual machine”. Further, whether or not the elapsed period is within a predetermined executable period is determined from the end time of the game corresponding to the game history specified from the “game date and time” of the latest game history to the time point This can be determined by comparing the elapsed period and the feasible period. Whether or not the game state at the end of the game is the simulation target game state depends on the game state (flag data) at the end of the game specified from the output game state in the specified latest game history and the game to be simulated It can be judged by whether or not the state matches.

  As described above, the reason why the simulation is not performed is that the simulation is performed when the simulation is performed multiple times, and the mission is achieved by repeating the simulation. In this example, for a single game history, the rate is high, and the privilege granted by the high achievement rate of these missions can be fraudulent added to the obtainable privilege. When simulation is performed only once and these simulations are performed, the result of the simulation is also registered in the game history database as a game history, and when the latest game history type is “app”, A simulation corresponding to the latest game history has already been implemented. It prohibits the implementation of the simulation Te.

  In addition, when the elapsed period from the end time of the game corresponding to the game history specified from the “game date and time” is not within the predetermined executable period, that is, when the executable period has elapsed The simulation is prohibited. These feasible periods can be arbitrarily set in the management server 1200. In the present embodiment, two days of the game day and the next day are set as the feasible period.

  In this embodiment, as described above, when the feasible period has elapsed, the data of the game state at the time of output and the internal winning state are erased for the purpose of reducing the memory load. Whether or not the feasible period has elapsed may be determined based on whether or not these data have been erased.

  The simulation is also prohibited when the game state at the end of the game is not the game state to be simulated. The game state to be simulated can be set for each model of the slot machine 1 in the management server 1200. In this embodiment, for the model of the slot machine 1, AT, RT2, ART, and bonuses are provided. A simulation is carried out for a period until the target gaming state is reached and the AT, RT2, ART, and each bonus are completed.

  Thus, it is preferable to set a gaming state that is advantageous to the player as the gaming state to be simulated. In other words, in the case where the game must be ended in these advantageous game states, the player is more interested in how the subsequent game is going, but the player is not in an advantageous game state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and all game states may be targeted for simulation without providing conditions regarding these game states.

  If these simulation execution conditions are not satisfied, an error page is distributed and displayed as shown in FIG. In the example shown in FIG. 58 (a), the case where the feasible period has elapsed is illustrated, but the same error page is displayed even when the simulation has already been performed or when the gaming state is not the simulation target. Is distributed and displayed, and simulation is disabled.

  On the other hand, when all the simulation execution conditions are satisfied, the management server 120 determines whether or not a gaming machine application corresponding to the model of the gaming history is stored in the portable terminal 1100.

  Whether or not a game machine application corresponding to the model of the game history is stored in these portable terminals 1100 is determined when terminal identification information (SIM data) of the distribution destination is stored when the game machine application of each model is distributed. It is determined by whether or not the terminal identification information (SIM data) of the mobile terminal 1100 is stored in the distribution history.

  When a gaming machine application corresponding to the model of the gaming history is stored, an instruction for starting the stored gaming machine application is transmitted, and the gaming machine application is started via the browser program.

  On the other hand, if a gaming machine application corresponding to the gaming history model is not stored, a message indicating that a gaming machine application corresponding to the gaming history model is not stored, as shown in FIG. , A download guide page including a selection display of “Yes / No” is distributed to accept the necessity of download.

  When “No” is accepted in this download guide page, an error page similar to FIG. 58A including a message indicating that simulation is impossible is distributed.

  On the other hand, when “Yes” is accepted on the download guide page, the download page shown in FIG. 58 (d) is displayed on the portable terminal 1100 by starting the distribution of the gaming machine application corresponding to the game history model. Then, after the download of the gaming machine application is completed, an activation instruction is transmitted to activate the gaming machine application via the browser program.

  When the gaming machine application is activated in this way, a simulation menu shown in FIG. 58 (e) is displayed on the portable terminal 1100.

  Here, the configuration of the gaming machine application that performs the simulation will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 57. As shown in FIG. 57, the gaming machine application is mainly configured by three module programs and lottery data. Has been.

  As the lottery data, the same data as the various lottery data (tables) stored in the ROM 506A of the game control board 40 of the slot machine 1 and the ROM 91b of the effect control board 90 is stored. By using this, a lottery with the same probability as the lottery in the slot machine 1 can be reproduced on the portable terminal 1100.

  The main board simulation module has the same function as the lottery function executed by the main control unit 41 of the game control board 40 described above, the same as the various lottery data stored in the slot machine 1. It is a functional program that is reproduced based on lottery data included in the application, and determines the presence / absence of winning for each game and the presence / absence of a change in gaming state (falling, promotion, etc.) to simulate the operation of the main control unit 41 To do.

  The sub-board simulation module has the same functions as the effect lottery and navigation stock lottery functions performed by the sub-control unit 91 of the effect control board 90 described above, and the same lottery data stored in the slot machine 1. This is a functional program that is reproduced based on the lottery data included in the game machine application, and the determination status of various effects for each game (whether or not determined) and the results of navigation stock lottery (winning / non-winning, granting) The operation of the sub-control unit 91 is simulated.

  The main board simulation module and the sub board simulation module can exchange various data via the simulation control module, and the sub board simulation module performs simulation according to the simulation result of the main board simulation module. To do.

  The simulation control module is a process for acquiring data necessary for the simulation from the management server 120, a process for passing the data acquired from the management server 120 to the main board simulation module and the sub board simulation module, a main board simulation module and a sub board simulation. Processing for controlling the progress of simulation in the module (processing for instructing execution and stop of the game), processing for transferring data of the main board simulation module and sub board simulation module, and processing of the main board simulation module and sub board simulation module Monitor the contents of the simulation to create digest contents, and the simulation result text page Various processes related to the control of the gaming machine application, such as a process for creating and displaying the created digest contents and simulation results, and a process for displaying the simulation menu of FIG. To implement.

  As shown in FIG. 58 (e), the simulation menu of the present embodiment includes a menu of “1. Complete mode”, a menu of “2. Digest mode”, and a menu of “3. Result only mode”. It is provided so that it can be selected, and a corresponding menu can be selected by designating a number.

  In this simulation menu, when the “1. Complete mode” menu is selected, the gaming machine application (simulation control module) distributes the game history from the management server 1200 until the end of the game, that is, the latest game history. A request (latest history distribution request) is transmitted to the management server 1200 and acquired.

  In response to the reception of the latest history distribution request, the management server 1200 corresponds to the terminal identification information (SIM data) added to the received latest history distribution request, and the latest game history stored in the game history table. The game history data (including the AT history, the production history, the game state at the time of output, and the internal winning state) is read out and transmitted to the mobile terminal 1100 that is the transmission source of the latest history distribution request.

  Based on the game history data returned from the management server 1200 in response to the transmission of the latest history distribution request, the gaming machine application (simulation control module), that is, the game history up to the end of the game, that is, the game The total number of games at the end, the number of BBs, the number of RBs, the number of games between bonuses, the total number of acquired games, the number of games in AT, and the number of games acquired during AT are specified and displayed at the upper position of the screen as shown in FIG. At the same time as the above-described digest display of FIG. 56, a schematic display of the liquid crystal display 51 of the slot machine 1 and a schematic display of the reels 2L, 2C, 2R are performed at the lower position of the display. The state of the slot machine 1 is reproduced.

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 58 (g), when the game is ended during ART at the end of the game hall, the number of medals and the number of remaining games acquired during the ART are displayed on the liquid crystal display 51. The state is reproduced and displayed.

  Then, the game machine application (simulation control module) passes data necessary for the lottery and determination of effects to the main board simulation module and the sub board simulation module, and performs simulation at high speed (fast rotation) for each game. ) The data required for the determination of the lottery and the production is specified based on the game state at the time of output and the internal winning state included in the game history received from the management server 1200, and is specified in the main board simulation module and the sub board simulation module. By outputting, in the main board simulation module and the sub board simulation module, the state of the main control unit 41 and the state of the sub control unit 91 at the end of the game are reproduced.

  In addition, in the fast-forward simulation for each game, for example, when a cherry stops in the middle stage and an extra is generated or a premium effect is generated, the fast-forward is temporarily interrupted and the display is continued for a certain time. The

  If it is desired to pause the simulation during these simulations and confirm the display, the simulation can be paused by selectively inputting the display of “pause” displayed at the bottom of the screen. In the case of restarting, it is only necessary to selectively input the display of “restart” displayed during the pause.

  Further, in the simulation, when the end of the game shown in FIG. 58 (g) is an ART, until the end of the ART, that is, an output symbolized into a two-dimensional code input to the mobile terminal 1100. Only the game history that occurred in relation to the ART that is the game state at the end of the game, which is the current game state, that is, the game history that occurred during the period of the ART is simulated. The game history that occurred in relation to the game state at the end of the game that the player is most interested in, for example, if the game state at the end of the game is ART, the number of games that the ART has continued (ART The number of games during the period) and only the number of medals that can be earned by the ART (the number obtained during the ART period) Since the number of games, the number of acquired games, and the like are not simulated, it is preferable because the player can provide the result that the player wants to know while reducing the simulation load, but the present invention is not limited to this. As a simulation target period, 100 games or the like may be appropriately set by the management server 1200 after the game ends.

  When these simulations are completed, the simulation results are transmitted to the management server 1200 to check whether the simulation results have cleared the mission.

  The management server 1200 that has received the simulation result additionally registers the received simulation result as data of the type “app” in the game history database, and at the same time the mission ( It is determined whether there is a mission (issue) that has been achieved based on the result of the simulation, and if there is a mission (issue) that has been achieved, the achievement of the mission (issue) Are also stored in the game history database (the data corresponding to the mission number achieved is set to “1”), and the achievement of the mission (task) is also reflected in the data of the player database. Returns achievement information including the mission number.

  As the achievement information, when there is no accomplished mission, predetermined data indicating that it does not exist is returned.

  In response to this reply, the gaming machine application (simulation control module) displays the result of the final simulation including the number of the mission (issue) achieved in the simulation in text as shown in FIG. To do.

  As a result of the simulation displayed in this way, the number of games and the number of games generated in the simulation are not the number of games and the number of games generated in the simulation, but the game at the end of the game as shown in FIG. The game history until reaching the state is displayed as data added to the number of games in AT at the end of the game and the number of games acquired in AT, and the number of games generated and the number of games acquired in the simulation such as the number of games added When the number of games or the number of acquired games generated in the simulation is larger than a predetermined value, a message “slightly disappointing” is displayed as a balloon message by a predetermined character as shown in FIG. Is done.

  In addition, when the “3. Result only mode” menu is selected in the simulation menu, the gaming machine application (simulation control module) plays a game from the management server 1200 in the same manner as when the “1. Complete mode” menu is selected. The game history up to the end time, that is, the latest game history distribution request (latest history distribution request) is transmitted to the management server 1200 to be acquired, and the main board simulation module and the sub board simulation module execute the simulation. . However, the gaming machine application (simulation control module) does not display the simulation status for each game, but performs a simulation at high speed for the period until the game state at the end of the game (for example, ART) ends, Only the result of the simulation is displayed as shown in FIG.

  When the simulation is completed, the gaming machine application (simulation control module) transmits the simulation result to the management server 1200 in the same manner as when the “1. Complete mode” menu is selected. After registering the history and obtaining the presence / absence of the mission (issue), only the result of the simulation is displayed as shown in FIG.

  Further, when the “2. Digest Mode” menu is selected in the simulation menu, the gaming machine application (simulation control module), as shown in FIG. “/ No” accepting screen is displayed, and it is accepted whether or not the digest in the actual game in the slot machine 1 is also displayed.

  When “Yes” is selected on the acceptance screen, a display including a series of actual game history digests and simulation digests of FIGS. 59 (a) to 59 (h) is performed. When “No” is selected, only the digest of the series of simulations of FIGS. 59D to 59H is displayed.

  Specifically, when the selection is accepted on the acceptance screen shown in FIG. 58 (f), the game history from the management server 1200 to the end of the game is the same as when the “1. Complete mode” menu is selected. That is, when the latest game history distribution request (latest history distribution request) is transmitted to the management server 1200 and acquired, and “Yes” is selected on the reception screen, the latest game history distribution request is based on the acquired latest game history. Similarly to the digest shown in FIG. 56 described above, the digests shown in FIGS. 59 (a) and 59 (b) are created and sequentially displayed, and then the game end state shown in 59 (c) is displayed.

  Note that the digests shown in FIGS. 59 (a) and 59 (b) are created by the gaming machine application (simulation control module), but these screens (pages) are shown in FIG. ), A game machine application (simulation control module) created by the management server 1200 may be acquired and used for display.

  Then, the main board simulation module and the sub board simulation module are caused to perform the simulation. If “No” is selected on the acceptance screen, after accepting the selection of “No”, without performing the above-described processing of performing the display of FIG. 59 (a) to FIG. 59 (c), As in the case where “1. Complete mode” or “3. Result only mode” is selected, the simulation is immediately executed.

  In this simulation, the gaming machine application (simulation control module) performs a simulation at a high speed for a period until the game state at the end of the game (for example, ART) ends, and the predetermined display condition in the simulation. Creates digest content by storing simulation contents of games that satisfy major requirements, such as games that have been added, games that have achieved missions, games that have special effects such as premium effects, etc. Then, the created digest contents are sequentially displayed as shown in FIGS. 59 (d) to 59 (h).

  That is, the gaming machine application (simulation control module) does not display all the games from the end of the game as the digest content of the simulation, as shown in FIG. 59 (d). The game until the game in which the strong cherry) is stopped and the addition is simulated is omitted, and the game in which the addition is simulated is displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. (Cherry) is stopped and the game in which the addition is simulated is displayed. Further, as shown in FIG. 59 (f), the game is executed in the AT state due to the addition, so that the number of acquisitions during the AT can be increased. ), The game that has reached the set number is displayed, and as shown in FIG. But by displaying it fell in the end game, to be able to grasp the main points of the game when it is assumed that the game ended had if carried out in a short time.

  Then, as in the case where “1. Complete mode” or “3. Result only mode” is selected, the simulation results are collectively displayed as text as shown in FIG.

  Note that the gaming machine application (simulation control module) transmits the simulation result when the simulation is completed, as in the case where “1. Complete mode” or “3. Result only mode” is selected. The result of simulation is registered in the management server 1200.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the two-dimensional code that is the game history specifying information output from the slot machine 1 is input to the mobile terminal 1100, whereby the slot from which the two-dimensional code (game history specifying information) is output. The simulation result (assumed game result) when it is assumed that the game is continued in the machine 1 is specified from the two-dimensional code (game history specifying information). For example, the game state at the end of the game such as AT and the AT state are Based on the number of games until the end and the result of the game simulation of the number of acquisitions, the number of games in the AT and the number of acquired in the AT during the AT period from the start to the end of the AT are output. It is possible to know what the game result is when the game is continued in the slot machine 1 that has finished the game.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the simulation result (assumed game result) achieves the mission, and the mission achievement rate, which is a privilege grant condition, satisfies that the simulation is a predetermined value by these simulations. Since, for example, even for a player who has not been able to receive the privilege because the game history in the slot machine 1 can not satisfy the grant condition because the game must be terminated, Benefits can be granted.

  In the present embodiment, the form in which the management server 1200 performs these specific assignments has been illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the simulation result (assumed game result) clears the specific mission. In the game server application (mobile terminal 1100) that performs simulation to determine whether or not these specific missions have been cleared instead of the management server 1200. The privilege content corresponding to the specific mission pre-installed in the machine application, for example, the special character's wallpaper data is released from the prohibition of use, and the privilege content is granted by being made available to the player. The mobile terminal 1100 may grant a privilege alone, or a specific mission Accordingly, by disclosing the acquisition URL for acquiring the privilege content stored in the management server 1200, the player can acquire the privilege content by accessing the acquisition URL. That is, the portable terminal 1100 and the management server 1200 may cooperate to give a privilege.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, in addition to the slot machine 1 and the portable terminal 1100, the management server 1200 serving as a storage means for storing and managing the game history of each player is separately provided. Compared to the case where data is stored in the mobile terminal 1100, the storage load in the mobile terminal 1100 can be reduced.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, when the elapsed time from the game end time exceeds the predetermined output possible period, the AT history, the production history, the game state at the time of output, the internal winnings required for the game simulation Since it becomes possible to erase the storage of various information such as the state, the storage capacity of various information such as the AT history, the production history, the game state at the time of output, the internal winning state, etc. becomes enormous, and the storage in the management server 1200 It is possible to avoid an increase in load.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, only the game history in the period until the AT state at the end of the game, which is an advantageous game state specified from the game history specifying information that the player is most interested in, is simulated. Thus, since the simulated simulation result is output, it is possible to provide the simulation result that the player wants to know while reducing the simulation load.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the mobile terminal 1100 displays not only the result of the simulation but also the digest of the content played in the slot machine 1 to display the premium effect performed in the slot machine 1 and the like. Can be reproduced on the portable terminal 1100.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope not departing from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. Needless to say.

  For example, in the slot machine 1 of the above-described embodiment, when a player whose terminal identification information is not registered in the player database uses the function of accumulating the game history for the first time, by inputting “easy start”, 2 A dimension code is displayed, and it is possible to play a game in the same way as when a password is entered without entering a password, and the two-dimensional code is displayed at the end of the game. Even if a player whose terminal identification information is not registered in the player database uses the function of accumulating game history for the first time, just enter “Easy Start” and enter the password. It is also possible to start a game that can store a game history without inputting. At this time, the two-dimensional code is not displayed and it is not necessary to access the management server 1200.

  In the above embodiment, the slot machine 1 is illustrated as a gaming machine. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these gaming machines play a predetermined game using a gaming ball as a gaming medium. Pachinko machines that can be implemented, game media such as medals of slot machines 1 and game balls of pachinko machines, etc. are enclosed inside the gaming machine and given according to the number of pachinko balls and medals lent out and the winnings While the number of pachinko balls and medals is added, the number of pachinko balls and medals used in the game is subtracted and stored, and without using pachinko balls and medals, for example, in response to a loan request All the points, points, etc. rented out and the points, points, etc. given according to winnings are memorized as credits, and the game is played using only the values memorized as credits. Door may be a game machine as possible. In this case, these points, points, and the like correspond to game media, and credits become game value.

  In the case where the gaming machine is a pachinko machine, the mission (issue) of the game in these pachinko machines is, for example, the number of rounds in which a big winning opening (chucker) opened by a big hit in the game is the number of times of opening. Many (for example, 16 rounds), the number of balls that can be obtained by the player is a mission that generates a big hit (16 rounds big hit) 5 or 10 times, and the occurrence of big hits or small hits shifts to a highly accurate state with a high winning probability Thus, a mission that generates a predetermined number of consecutive high accuracy states and hits (so-called consecutive state), a mission that generates a large number of hits during these extended states, When there are 2 land jackpots, 7 round jackpots, and 16 round jackpots, the 16 rounds jackpot is a predetermined number of times. (E.g. 3 times) A mission to be generated continuously, a mission to acquire a predetermined number of pachinko balls, for example 5000, 10000, and 20000 in a consecutive state, or a big hit before the next big hit occurs A premium effect that occurs when a predetermined number of start times, for example, a mission that is executed 500 times or 1000 times (a mission that is established when the so-called humili reaches 500 times or 1000 times) or when a predetermined condition such as a level is achieved, for example. The mission etc. which generate | occur | produce are illustrated.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the simulation can be carried out within a predetermined period after the game ends, but the present invention is not limited to this, and even within these predetermined periods, Pre-set time zone conditions, for example, game end date, determine whether it is better to continue the game during business hours by enabling simulation only during the time zone after the end of business hours In order to output the two-dimensional code, the game is continued when the simulation result of the two-dimensional code is good, and the game is terminated when the simulation result is not good. It may be configured so that it cannot be used as a game, or conversely, even if it is the same day as the game end date, conditions of a preset time zone, for example, in the morning or in the afternoon It is possible for the game halls to set their own conditions such as until what time, and individual game halls set times when there are few players as these time zones. By making it possible to determine the continuation of the game based on the simulation result, the simulation may contribute to an increase in the number of players who visit the store.

  In the above-described embodiment, when a mission is achieved in the simulation, the achieved mission is handled in the same manner as when it is achieved in a game of an actual machine, and acquired according to an increase in the mission achievement rate. Since possible benefits are added, the simulation can be performed only once. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the simulation can be performed within a predetermined number of times (for example, three times). The mission achieved in only one of these simulations may be reflected in the player's history.

  In the above embodiment, it is not determined whether or not the store is closed. However, for example, the time when the game history is updated / registered by reading the two-dimensional code corresponds to the time when the store is closed. In this case, it is determined that the game has ended due to the closing of the store, and the game state at that time is a specific game state, for example, an AT state in which the number of remaining games exists, a high-accuracy state (probability change state) or a special state In the case of a so-called short-time state where the frequency of starting winning a prize when the reaction display of the symbol is started is high, a predetermined number of Fever Points stored in the player database of the management server 1200 are stored in a predetermined number. Fever points may be added, and game shop closing compensation may be implemented by giving these fever points.

  Further, in the above embodiment, only when the mission is achieved in the simulation, it is handled in the same way as when it is achieved in the game of the actual machine, but the present invention is not limited to this, Also in the simulation, when the level is increased by adding points as in the actual machine, the level may be handled as an improved level in the game of the actual machine.

  In the above embodiment, a message such as “It may have been disappointing!” Is displayed depending on the result of the simulation, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the result of the simulation (finished) (Including game history), for example, based on a bonus generation ratio with respect to the total number of games played, and the like, the setting value of the slot machine 1 is likely to be calculated and displayed. Anyway.

  Further, in the above embodiment, a password is applied as information that can specify the game history to be input to the gaming machine, which is preferable because it is not necessary to provide a dedicated reading device or the like in order to input information from outside, Data such as barcodes or two-dimensional codes that are encoded and can be read by a code reader, or data that can be input by wired connection, wireless connection, infrared connection, etc., may be used. This makes it easy to input these data.

  In the embodiment, the two-dimensional code is applied as information that can specify the game history output from the gaming machine and information that can specify the bonus information, and the player simply holds the two-dimensional code reader. Although it is preferable because data can be acquired, it may be output as other code data that can be read by a code reader such as a barcode, or data that can be output by wired connection, wireless connection, infrared connection, or the like. Further, a password may be applied in the same manner as information input to the gaming machine.

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

  In the above embodiment, when a game is performed with provisional registration by “easy start”, a starting random number extracted from a random number that fluctuates within a certain range is applied as information that can identify the game. Data that can specify the game on the management server 1200 side at the end may be used. For example, data that regularly changes such as a number to be added each time “easy start” is input may be applied.

  In the embodiment, only the portable terminal to which the terminal identification information is assigned and the transmission of the terminal identification information is permitted allows the management server 1200 to access, but at least the portable terminal If the player can be identified with information (Cookie) that can be identified, or the player can be identified with the player ID assigned on the management server 1200 side, the terminal to which the terminal identification information is attached, It is good also as a structure which permits access also from the terminal which is not permitted transmission of terminal identification information.

  In the above-described embodiment, information related to the player (game history, etc.) is managed in association with the terminal identification information, but information related to the player is managed in association with the player ID that can identify the player. It may be configured.

  In the embodiment, the portable terminal 1100 has a function of accessing the management server 1200 and reflecting the game history of the player included in the two-dimensional code output from the slot machine 1 in addition to the simulation. Therefore, since it is necessary to read the URL reflecting these game histories from the two-dimensional code, the reading application and the gaming machine application having the function of performing the simulation with the same lottery probability as the slot machine 1 are individually set. Although it is made to memorize | store in the portable terminal 1100 as an application, this invention is not limited to this, The reflection to the management server 1200 of these log | history, the browsing of the log | history managed by the management server 1200, etc. Separately from the above function, only the simulation may be performed with a two-dimensional code, In the case of a read app and gaming machine application to read the two-dimensional code may be stored in the portable terminal 1100 as a single application program. Note that functions other than the two-dimensional code reading function and the simulation function, for example, a browser function for browsing information such as history managed by the management server 1200 may be added to these application programs. .
