Hereinafter, an embodiment of a pachinko gaming machine as a gaming machine will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a game board YB. The pachinko gaming machine 10 is provided with a launch handle HD, and when the launch handle HD is rotated, a game ball is launched onto the game board YB.

  The game board YB is provided with a special symbol display device 11 having a plurality of light emitting portions. In this special symbol display device 11, a variable game (special symbol variation game) is displayed in which a plurality of types of symbols (special symbols) are displayed in a variable manner.

  In this embodiment, the special symbol display device 11 selects one special symbol corresponding to the lottery result of the winning lottery from a plurality of types of special symbols, and the selected special symbol is stopped by the end of the variable game. Is displayed. The special symbol is classified into a jackpot symbol that can recognize a jackpot and a miss symbol that can recognize a loss. When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed, the player is awarded a jackpot game.

  The game board YB is provided with an effect display device 13 for displaying images. In the effect display device 13, a display effect related to the variable game is performed. Specifically, a decorative design variation game in which a plurality of types of decorative symbols are varied in a plurality of columns is performed as the display effect.

  The effect display device 13 is configured such that a plurality of types of decorative symbols can be displayed in a variable manner and stopped for each column. The effect display device 13 is configured with a display area larger than that of the special symbol display device 11, and the decorative symbol is displayed much larger than the special symbol. For this reason, the player can recognize the big hit or loss from the symbol combination stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. When the symbols of all the columns that are stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13 are of the same type, the jackpot to which the jackpot game is given can be recognized from the symbol combination. The symbol combination that can recognize the jackpot is a jackpot symbol combination (a jackpot display result) by a decorative symbol. When the jackpot symbol combination is stopped and displayed, the player is given a jackpot game after the end of the variable game. On the other hand, when the symbols of all the columns stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13 are not of the same type, it is possible to recognize a deviation from the symbol combination. The symbol combination that can recognize the deviation is a symbol combination of the detachment symbol (result of the loss display).

  In addition, on the effect display device 13, the symbol combination corresponding to the display result of the special symbol display device 11 is stopped and displayed. More specifically, a special symbol that is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11 corresponds to a symbol combination that is a decorative symbol that is stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. For example, when the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11, the jackpot symbol combination is also stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. Further, when the special symbol display device 11 is stopped and the off symbol is displayed, the off symbol combination is also stopped and displayed on the effect display device 13. In addition, the symbol combination of the decoration symbol with respect to a special symbol is not necessarily one-to-one, and the symbol combination by one decoration symbol is selected from the symbol combinations by a some decoration symbol with respect to one special symbol.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a start winning device 15 having a start winning port 14 into which a game ball can always enter is disposed below the effect display device 13. In addition, the start winning device 15 is provided with a start sensor SE1 that detects a game ball that has entered the start winning opening 14. When the start sensor SE1 detects a game ball that has entered the start winning opening 14, the start condition of the variable game can be established. In addition, when the start sensor SE1 detects a game ball that has entered the start winning port 14, a predetermined number of game ball payout conditions are established.

  Further, below the effect display device 13 (below the start winning port 14), a large winning device 20 having a large winning port 19 into which a game ball can be inserted is provided. In addition, the big winning device 20 is provided with a count sensor SE3 that detects a game ball that has entered the big winning opening 19. When the count sensor SE3 detects a game ball that has entered the special winning opening 19, a payout condition for game balls as a predetermined number of prize balls is established.

  The big prize device 20 is provided with a big prize door 21 that opens and closes by the operation of an actuator ACT1 such as a solenoid or a motor. The big prize opening 19 is always closed with the big prize opening door 21 closed. When the big hit game is awarded, the big prize opening door 21 is opened according to the kind of the big hit game given, the big prize opening 19 is opened, and the opening of the game ball is allowed by the opening. . For this reason, the player can obtain a chance to acquire a large number of prize balls. In this embodiment, the big hit game is advantageous to the player because a chance to win a large number of prize balls can be obtained. The jackpot game is given when the jackpot is determined by the internal lottery and the jackpot symbol (the jackpot display result) is stopped and displayed in the variable game.

Next, the jackpot game in this embodiment will be described.
The jackpot game is started after the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed in the variable game and the game is finished. When the big hit game starts, the opening time is set. And in this opening time, the opening effect which shows the start of a big hit game is performed first. In addition, when the opening time ends, a round game in which the special winning opening 19 is opened is performed a plurality of times up to a predetermined prescribed number of rounds. During one round game, the big winning opening 19 is opened until the upper limit number of game balls enter or until a specified time elapses. In round games, round effects are performed. When all round games are finished, an ending time is set. Also, during this ending time, an ending effect indicating the end of the big hit game is performed. When the ending time is over, the big hit game is over.

  In this embodiment, when the big hit lottery is won, one big hit game is determined from a plurality of types of big hit games, and the determined big hit game is given. Then, which of the big hit games among a plurality of types of big hit games is determined according to the type of special symbol (big hit symbol) that is determined when the big hit lottery is won.

Next, the control configuration of the pachinko gaming machine will be described based on FIG.
A main control board 30 is mounted on the back side of the pachinko gaming machine. The main control board 30 executes various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine and outputs various control signals (control commands) for controlling the game according to the processing results. An effect control board 31 is mounted on the back side of the machine. The effect control board 31 executes processing related to the determination of the display mode (display images such as symbols, backgrounds, characters, etc.) of the effect display device 13 based on the control signal (control command) input from the main control board 30. The display content is controlled according to the processing result.

Hereinafter, specific configurations of the main control board 30 and the effect control board 31 will be described.
The main control board 30 is provided with a main control CPU 30a. A main control ROM 30b and a main control RAM 30c are connected to the main control CPU 30a. A start sensor SE1 and a count sensor SE3 are connected to the main control CPU 30a. A special symbol display device 11 is connected to the main control CPU 30a. An actuator ACT1 is connected to the main control CPU 30a.

  The main control ROM 30b stores a main control program for executing various processes related to the pachinko gaming machine. The main control ROM 30b stores a plurality of types of variation patterns. Fluctuation patterns are game effects (display effects, etc.) from when a symbol (special symbol and decorative symbol) starts variable display (the variable game starts) until the symbol is stopped (the variable game ends). It shows the pattern that becomes the base. That is, the variation pattern can specify at least the effect time (variation time) from when the special symbol starts to be variably displayed until the special symbol is stopped and displayed. In the variation pattern in the present embodiment, it is also possible to specify the contents of the variation game (such as whether there is a big hit, whether there is a reach effect, etc.) from when the special symbol is started to be displayed until the special symbol is stopped. .

  The variation pattern includes a jackpot variation pattern that specifies a jackpot effect. In addition, the variation pattern includes a variation variation pattern that specifies a variation effect as a variation. Note that a plurality of types of variation patterns are prepared for the big hit variation pattern and the loss variation pattern. The jackpot effect is an effect in which the variable game is developed so that the symbol combination of the jackpot is finally stopped and displayed. The outlier effect is an effect in which the fluctuating game is developed so as to finally stop and display the off symbol combination.

Various determination values are stored in the main control ROM 30b. For example, the main control ROM 30b stores a jackpot determination value used in the jackpot lottery.
The main control RAM 30c stores various information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that can be appropriately rewritten during operation of the pachinko gaming machine.

  In the main control board 30, various random numbers used as a hit determination random number, a special symbol distribution random number, and a variation pattern distribution random number are generated. Incidentally, the random number for hit determination is a random number used for the big hit lottery. The random number for special symbol distribution is a random number used when determining a special symbol (type of jackpot). The variation pattern distribution random number is a random number used when determining the variation pattern. The values that can be taken by the random numbers for distribution pattern distribution are different for each classification of the out-of-range variation pattern and the big hit variation pattern. Note that the random numbers used as various random numbers may be hardware random numbers or software random numbers.

Next, the effect control board 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The effect control board 31 is provided with an effect control CPU 31a. An effect control ROM 31b and an effect control RAM 31c are connected to the effect control CPU 31a. The effect control RAM 31c stores various types of information (random values, timer values, flags, etc.) that are appropriately rewritten during the operation of the pachinko gaming machine. The effect control CPU 31a updates the values of various random numbers at predetermined intervals, stores (sets) the updated values in the setting area of the effect control RAM 31c, and rewrites the values before the update.

  The effect control ROM 31b stores an effect control program for executing a game effect. When the various control commands are input, the effect control CPU 31a executes various controls based on the effect control program. The effect control ROM 31b stores various image data (image data such as symbols, various background images, characters, characters, etc.). The effect display CPU 13 is connected to the effect control CPU 31a, and when various control commands are input, the display content of the effect display device 13 is controlled based on the effect control program.

  Next, various processes executed by the main control CPU 30a based on the main control program will be described. First, the special symbol input process will be described. The special symbol input process is executed at predetermined intervals by the main control CPU 30a.

  First, the main control CPU 30a executes a hold determination for determining whether or not a game ball has entered the start winning opening 14. That is, in the hold determination, the main control CPU 30a determines whether or not a detection signal output when the start sensor SE1 detects a game ball is input. When the determination result of the hold determination is affirmative (when a ball is entered), the main control CPU 30a acquires various random number values related to the variable game, and stores the acquired random number values in a predetermined storage area of the main control RAM 30c. To do. At that time, it is stored so that the acquisition order of random values related to the variable game can be recognized. Then, the special symbol input process is terminated. In addition, when the determination result of the first hold determination is negative (when the ball has not entered the start winning opening 14), the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol input process.

Next, the special symbol start process will be described. The main control CPU 30a is configured to execute a special symbol start process at predetermined intervals.
When the main control CPU 30a is not in the big hit game or the symbol variation game, among the random number values associated with the variation game (used for the variation game), the random number values associated with the variation game according to the acquisition order (the random number for hit determination, the variation Pattern distribution random numbers and special symbol distribution random numbers). Specifically, the random number value that is the earliest acquired random number value that is related to the variable game and that has not yet been used to execute the variable game is acquired.

The main control CPU 30a determines whether or not the value of the acquired random number for hit determination matches the jackpot determination value stored in the main control ROM 30b, and performs a big hit determination (big hit lottery).
When the determination result of the jackpot determination is affirmative (in the case of a jackpot), the main control CPU 30a determines the type of jackpot game based on the acquired special symbol distribution random number value, The final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11 is determined. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the big hit variation pattern based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number.

  The main control CPU 30a, which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol, executes various processes relating to the variation game, such as outputting a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a first outputs a variation pattern designation command for designating a variation pattern and instructing the start of symbol variation. At the same time when the fluctuation pattern designation command is output, the main control CPU 30a controls the display content of the special symbol display device 11 so as to start the fluctuation of the special figure. At the same time, the main control CPU 30a starts measuring the effect time of the variable game. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs a special symbol designation command for designating the type of the final stop symbol. When the final stop symbol is a jackpot symbol, the type of jackpot game can be specified, so the special symbol designation command is also a hit category designation command for designating the type of bonus game. Then, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  Thereafter, in a process different from the special symbol start process, the main control CPU 30a specially displays the determined final stop symbol based on the effect time (variation time) set in the designated variation pattern. The display content of the symbol display device 11 is controlled. Further, the main control CPU 30a instructs to stop the variation of the decorative symbols based on the effect time set in the designated variation pattern, and outputs an all symbol stop command for stopping and displaying the symbol combination.

  On the other hand, when the determination result of the big hit determination is negative (when the big hit is not a big hit), the main control CPU 30a determines the off symbol as the final stop symbol to be stopped and displayed on the special symbol display device 11. Next, the main control CPU 30a determines a variation pattern from the deviation variation patterns based on the obtained variation pattern distribution random number value.

  Then, the main control CPU 30a which has determined the variation pattern and the final stop symbol outputs a predetermined control command to the effect control board 31 (effect control CPU 31a) at a predetermined timing, as described above (in the case of big hit). Various processes related to the variable game are executed. Thereafter, the main control CPU 30a ends the special symbol start process.

  When determining the big hit, the main control CPU 30a starts the control of the type of big hit game specified based on the final stop symbol after the end of the symbol variation game based on the determined variation pattern, and the effect control board 31 ( A predetermined control command is output at a predetermined timing to the CPU 31a for effect control.

  Specifically, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the opening time. Further, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command for instructing that the opening time has started to the effect control board 31. Next, the main control CPU 30a controls each round game after the opening time ends. That is, the main control CPU 30a outputs a round command for instructing the start of a round game to the effect control board 31 at the start of each round game. Further, the main control CPU 30a controls the opening and closing of the special winning opening 19 for each round game. That is, the main control CPU 30a opens the big winning opening 19 until the upper limit number of game balls are won or until a predetermined time predetermined for each round game elapses.

  Then, when the special winning opening 19 is closed, the main control CPU 30a maintains the closing until a predetermined interval time has elapsed for each round game, and then ends the round game. A series of these controls is executed until the specified number of rounds is reached. When the special winning opening 19 is opened, the main control CPU 30 a outputs an opening command indicating the opening of the special winning opening 19 to the effect control board 31. When closing the special winning opening 19, the main control CPU 30 a outputs a closing command indicating the closing of the special winning opening 19 to the effect control board 31.

  When the predetermined number of round games are finished, the main control CPU 30a starts setting the ending time. Further, the main control CPU 30a outputs an ending command for instructing that the ending time has started to the effect control board 31. When the ending time has elapsed, the main control CPU 30a ends the big hit game.

  Next, various processes executed by the effect control CPU 31a of the effect control board 31 based on the effect control program will be described. When a predetermined control command is input from the main control CPU 30a at a predetermined timing, the effect control CPU 31a executes various processes accordingly.

  For example, when the effect control CPU 31a inputs a variation pattern designation command and a special symbol designation command, the effect display device is based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command and the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command. The combination of symbols by the decorative symbols to be stopped and displayed at 13 is determined.

  That is, the effect control CPU 31a determines the jackpot symbol combination when the final stop symbol designated by the special symbol designation command is a jackpot symbol. In addition, when the designated final stop symbol is a loss symbol, the effect control CPU 31a determines a symbol combination of loss.

  Then, when the variation control designation command is input, the effect control CPU 31a controls the representation display device 13 to execute the variation game based on the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command. Thereafter, when the all-design stop command is input, the effect control CPU 31a ends the variable game and displays the determined symbol combination.

  As shown in FIG. 4, an effect movable body 50 that is movable up and down by an operation of an actuator ACT <b> 3 such as a solenoid or a motor is provided on the effect display device 13. The effect movable body 50 is formed in a shape imitating the character shape of “heaven”. The effect movable body 50 performs a movable effect that moves up and down when the big hit is confirmed.

  The effect movable body 50 includes a plurality of movable body LEDs 51 serving as light emitting points arranged on the front side of the gaming machine. For this reason, the effect movable body 50 becomes a light emitting decoration means. The plurality of movable body LEDs 51 are arranged at predetermined positions along the shape of the movable body LED 51. That is, when each movable body LED 51 emits light, the character shape of “heaven” is set to such an extent that it is possible to authenticate whether the light emitting point (LED) by the movable body LED 51 is due to the movable body LED 51. Each movable body LED 51 is arranged along the shape of the simulated movable body 50 for production. That is, each movable body LED 51 is disposed in the effect movable body 50 so that it can be distinguished from other light emitting points disposed in the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  Specifically, the number of light emitting points (movable body LED 51), the angle formed by three light emitting points (movable body LED 51), and the distance (ratio) between the light emitting points (movable body LED 51), etc. By comparing the light emission modes of the light emission points comprehensively, the light emission point by the movable body LED 51 and the other light emission points can be distinguished.

  The operation of the effect movable body 50 and the light emission mode of the movable object LED 51 are controlled by the effect control CPU 31a. For example, the effect control CPU 31a operates the actuator ACT3 and operates the effect movable body 50 based on the variation pattern. Further, the effect control CPU 31a causes the movable body LED 51 to emit light based on the sub-control program. Thereby, the CPU 31a for effect control becomes a light emission control means for controlling the light emission mode of the light emission point.

  The plurality of movable body LEDs 51 are configured to always emit light while the power to the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned on. In addition, the light emitting point in the present embodiment refers to an LED that emits light with a predetermined luminance or higher. Therefore, even if it is LED, it does not become a light emitting point when it is not emitting light, when it is blinking, or when it is emitting light but does not emit light with a predetermined luminance or higher.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a rotating body 52 that rotates by the operation of an actuator ACT4 such as a solenoid or a motor is provided on the left side of the effect display device 13. The rotating body 52 is formed in a star shape having five protrusions. And the rotary body 52 performs the rotation effect to rotate, when a special effect (for example, reach effect) is performed.

  The rotating body 52 is provided with a plurality of rotating body LEDs 53 serving as light emitting points arranged on the front side of the gaming machine. For this reason, the rotator 52 serves as a light emitting decoration means. The plurality of rotating body LEDs 53 are arranged at predetermined positions along the shape of the rotating body LEDs 53. That is, when each of the rotating body LEDs 53 emits light, the rotation imitating a star shape to the extent that it is possible to authenticate whether or not the light emitting point (LED) by the rotating body LED 53 is due to the rotating body LED 53. Each rotating body LED 53 is arranged along the shape of the body 52. That is, each rotating body LED 53 is disposed on the rotating body 52 so as to be distinguished from other light emitting points disposed on the pachinko gaming machine 10.

  Specifically, the number of light emitting points (rotating body LED 53), the angle formed by the three light emitting points (rotating body LED 53), and the distance (ratio) between the light emitting points (rotating body LED 53), etc. By comparing the light emission modes of the light emitting points comprehensively, the light emitting point by the rotating body LED 53 can be distinguished from other light emitting points. The rotating body LED 53 is configured to always emit light while the power to the pachinko gaming machine 10 is turned on.

  The operation of the rotating body 52 and the light emission mode of the rotating body LED 53 are controlled by the effect control CPU 31a. For example, the effect control CPU 31a operates the actuator 52 by operating the actuator ACT4 based on the variation pattern. The effect control CPU 31a causes the rotating body LED 53 to emit light based on the sub-control program. Thereby, the CPU 31a for effect control becomes a light emission control means for controlling the light emission mode of the light emission point.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in this embodiment, when the predetermined light emitting point (LED) of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is photographed by the portable terminal CM, a predetermined effect is executed on the portable terminal CM. It is comprised so that. The mobile terminal CM in the present embodiment is a terminal such as a mobile phone with a camera function (smart phone) capable of photographing the pachinko gaming machine 10 or a mobile information terminal (mobile computer, tablet type terminal) having a camera function. . The pachinko gaming machine 10 and the mobile terminal CM constitute a gaming system. This will be described in detail below.

  The mobile terminal CM stores application software (hereinafter, referred to as an application) for authenticating the light emitting point of the captured pachinko gaming machine 10 and executing an effect based on the authentication result. Based on this application, the mobile terminal CM can perform various operations. This application is configured to be downloadable from a server computer connected to the Internet or the like.

  In addition, the mobile terminal CM is provided with a display screen 101 for displaying a camera and a captured image taken by the camera. The mobile terminal CM is configured to display the captured image on the display screen 101 in real time as it is when the camera captures an image.

  Then, when the light emission point of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is photographed by the camera of the mobile terminal CM, the mobile terminal CM authenticates the light emission point from the light emission mode of the light emission point included in the photographed captured image based on the application. Is supposed to do. The application includes an authentication image (authentication pattern) indicating a light emission mode of a light emitting point that can be authenticated in advance (stored). From the number of light emitting points in the authentication image, the angle formed by the three light emitting points, the distance between the light emitting points, and the like, the arrangement of the light emitting points as the light emitting mode of the light emitting points can be specified.

  For example, the application of this embodiment includes authentication images of a plurality of movable body LEDs 51 and authentication images of a plurality of rotating body LEDs 53. In the authentication image of the movable body LED 51, the number of light emitting points by the movable body LED 51, the angle formed by the light emitting points by the three movable body LEDs 51, the distance between the light emitting points by the movable body LED 51, and the like. The arrangement of the light emission points as the light emission mode by the movable body LED 51 can be specified. Similarly, in the authentication image of the rotating body LED 53, the number of light emitting points by the rotating body LED 53, the angle formed by the light emitting points by the three rotating body LEDs 53, the distance between the light emitting points by the rotating body LED 53, and the like. The arrangement of the light emitting points as the light emitting mode by the rotating body LED 53 can be specified.

  When the light emitting point is photographed by the mobile terminal CM, the mobile terminal CM authenticates the light emitting point by comparing the photographed captured image with the authentication image based on the function of the application. In the present embodiment, the mobile terminal CM compares the captured image with the authentication image from the viewpoint of the number of light emission points, the angle formed by the three light emission points, the distance between the light emission points, and the like. Identify points and differences. If the coincidence point is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, the mobile terminal CM determines that the coincidence image matches the authentication image, and authenticates the light emission mode of the light emission point specified by the authentication image.

  For example, from the viewpoint of the number of light emitting points, the angle formed by the three light emitting points, the distance between the light emitting points, and the like, the authentication image of the movable body LED 51 is compared with the photographed photographed image, and the coincidence point is predetermined. If the threshold value exists, the mobile terminal CM determines that the image matches the authentication image for the movable body LED 51 and authenticates that the light emitting point is generated by the movable body LED 51.

  Similarly, from the viewpoint of the number of light emitting points, the angle formed by the three light emitting points, the distance between the light emitting points, and the like, the authentication image of the LED 53 for the rotator is compared with the photographed image, and the coincidence point is predetermined. If the threshold value or more exists, the mobile terminal CM determines that the image matches the authentication image for the rotating body LED 53 and authenticates that the light emitting point is generated by the rotating body LED 53.

  When the mobile terminal CM authenticates the light emitting point, the mobile terminal CM displays a display image corresponding to the authenticated light emitting point on the display screen 101 of the mobile terminal CM based on the function of the application. In this embodiment, a display image to be displayed when the light emitting point by the movable body LED 51 is authenticated, and a display image to be displayed when the light emitting point by the rotating body LED 53 are authenticated are prepared in advance, and the application Included (remembered). The display image displayed when the light emitting point by the movable body LED 51 is authenticated is an image dedicated to the rendering movable body 50 including the movable body LED 51 (an image related to the rendering movable body 50). The movable body 50 is described as operating when the big hit is confirmed. Further, the display image to be displayed when the light emitting point by the rotating body LED 53 is authenticated is an image dedicated to the rotating body 52 including the rotating body LED 53 (an image related to the rotating body 52). An explanation such as operation when a special effect is executed is described.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when the mobile terminal CM displays a display image corresponding to the authenticated light emission point on the display screen 101, the display image is superimposed on the captured image captured by the camera in real time. It is configured as follows. Hereinafter, it explains in full detail with an effect | action.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, when the mobile terminal CM authenticates the light emission point by the movable body LED 51 and displays a display image corresponding to the light emission point by the movable body LED 51, the mobile terminal CM is predetermined to the left side from the movable body LED 51. The display image is displayed at the position of the distance. At this time, the size of the display image is enlarged or reduced according to the size of the photographed movable body LED 51 for display. The size and arrangement of the display image can be grasped by comparing with the authentication image.

  Similarly, as illustrated in FIG. 7, when the mobile terminal CM authenticates the light emitting point by the rotating body LED 53 and displays a display image corresponding to the light emitting point by the rotating body LED 53, the mobile terminal CM moves from the rotating body LED 53 to the left side. The display image is displayed at a predetermined distance. At that time, the size of the display image is enlarged or reduced according to the size of the imaged LED 53 for the rotating body.

  In this way, since the display image is displayed in real time in accordance with the arrangement and size of the authenticated light emitting points, it is possible to make the player think as if the display image actually exists.

As described above in detail, the present embodiment has the following effects.
(1) The CPU 31a for effect control is used as a light emitting point so that a predetermined effect is performed in the mobile terminal CM by being authenticated by the mobile terminal CM as an authentication medium outside the pachinko gaming machine 10. The movable body LED 51 (or the rotating body LED 53) is caused to emit light in a predetermined light emission mode. That is, the movable body LED 51 (or the rotating body LED 53) is caused to emit light so as to coincide with the authentication image of the movable body LED 51 (or the rotating body LED 53) included in advance in the application. In this embodiment, all LEDs having different arrangements for each light emitting decoration means are caused to emit light. Then, a predetermined effect is executed on the mobile terminal CM by authenticating the light emission mode by the light emitting point. As described above, since the light emission mode of the light emitting points arranged on the game board YB is authenticated, the effect display device 13 displays the two-dimensional code on the effect display device 13 in comparison with the case where authentication is performed. Since it is not necessary, it is possible to prevent the game display (such as a variable game) from interfering with the effect display device 13. Further, since the authentication is performed according to the light emission mode of the light emitting point, the brightness is clear and the authentication is easy. Moreover, even if the light emitting effect by the movable body LED 51 (or the rotating body LED 53) is performed, it is not possible for the player to recognize whether or not the light emitting mode is for authentication, and this does not interfere with the effect. Moreover, since the presentation can be executed by the mobile terminal CM outside the gaming machine, the interest can be improved.

  (2) The effect control CPU 31a causes the light emitting decoration means to emit light with different light emission modes so that an effect dedicated to the light emitting decoration means having the light emitting point authenticated by the mobile terminal CM is executed. . In other words, the effect control CPU 31a performs a plurality of movable operations in a light emitting mode that allows only the movable body LED 51 so that an effect dedicated to the effect movable body 50 having the movable body LED 51 authenticated by the mobile terminal CM is executed. The body LED 51 is caused to emit light. Similarly, the effect control CPU 31a has a plurality of light emitting modes in which only the rotating body LED 53 can emit such that an effect dedicated to the rotating body 52 having the plurality of rotating body LEDs 53 authenticated by the mobile terminal CM is executed. The rotating body LED 53 is caused to emit light. Specifically, the light emission mode of the light emission points is changed by changing the arrangement of the light emission points for each light emitting decoration means. As a result, the mobile terminal CM can authenticate the light emission mode of the light emission point for each light emission decoration means, and as a result, the effect dedicated to the light emission decoration means having the authenticated light emission point (corresponding to the light emission mode of the authenticated light emission point) Production) can be executed. For this reason, it is possible to give interest to what kind of effect is executed for each light emitting decoration means, and to give the player a desire to photograph each light emitting decoration means. Moreover, the variation of production can be increased and the willingness to authenticate each light emission decoration means can be given.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment embodying the present invention will be described. The same configurations as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals as those of the first embodiment, and detailed description and drawings thereof are omitted or simplified.

  In the present embodiment, the movable body LED 51 and the rotating body LED 53 are each configured to emit light at a light emitting point in a plurality of light emission modes. More specifically, the movable body LED 51 and the rotating body LED 53 can change the light emission mode by changing any one of the arrangement of the light emission points, the light emission timing, and the light emission color. Note that the timing of changing the light emission mode may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the gaming state (including the big hit gaming state, the probability variation state, the shortage state), the production mode change, the presence or absence of the variation game, the variation game It may be changed according to the number of times, the elapsed time since power-on, the current time at the time of game, the current date, the expected expectation of a variable game, the expected probability of change.

  In the present embodiment, the movable body LED 51 changes the light emission mode of the light emitting point by changing the light emission timing. That is, in the pachinko gaming machine 10, a light emitting mode (hereinafter, referred to as a first light emitting mode) that emits light in order from the movable body LED 51 disposed above, and a light that is sequentially emitted from the movable body LED 51 disposed on the right side. The light emission mode (hereinafter referred to as the second light emission mode) is configured to be executable.

  Moreover, the LED 51 for movable bodies is changing the light emission mode of a light emission point by changing arrangement | positioning of a light emission point. That is, when arranged at the upper part (initial position) of the effect display device 13, the light emitting mode (hereinafter referred to as the third light emitting mode) in which all the movable body LEDs 51 emit light and the movable body LEDs 51 are set to the initial position. It is comprised so that execution of the light emission mode (henceforth a 4th light emission mode) which all the LED 51 for movable bodies light-emit when it moves from and is arrange | positioned below is carried out.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the light emission mode is changed by changing the light emission color of LED53 for rotary bodies. That is, the movable body LED 51 is configured to be capable of executing a light emission mode that emits blue light (hereinafter referred to as a fifth light emission mode) and a light emission mode that emits white light (hereinafter referred to as a sixth light emission mode). .

  Then, when the light emission point of the pachinko gaming machine 10 is photographed by the camera of the mobile terminal CM, the mobile terminal CM authenticates the light emission point from the light emission mode of the light emission point included in the photographed captured image based on the application. Is supposed to do.

  In the present embodiment, a plurality of authentication images corresponding to the first light emission mode or the second light emission mode are prepared in accordance with changes in the light emission mode. That is, since the light emission timing of the movable body LED 51 is different, an authentication image at each light emission timing is prepared. As a result, even if the light emission timings of the light emission points are different, authentication can be performed by comparing the captured image with the authentication image at each light emission timing.

  In addition, an authentication image corresponding to the third light emission mode or the fourth light emission mode is prepared for each arrangement of the light emission points. Thereby, even if the arrangement of the light emitting points is different, the authentication can be performed by comparing the photographed image with the authentication image for each arrangement.

In the authentication image corresponding to the fifth light emission mode or the sixth light emission mode, an authentication image capable of specifying the arrangement of the light emission points and the light emission color of the light emission points is prepared for each light emission color.
When the light emitting point is photographed by the mobile terminal CM, the mobile terminal CM authenticates the light emitting point by comparing the photographed captured image with the authentication image based on the function of the application.

  In the present embodiment, when the mobile terminal CM authenticates the first light emission mode or the second light emission mode, the mobile terminal CM captures a captured image captured for a predetermined time and each authentication for the first light emission mode or the second light emission mode. Comparison with the image for each is performed, and a coincidence point and a difference are specified. And when a coincidence point exists more than a predetermined threshold value, portable terminal CM authenticates that it is the light emission mode of the light emission point specified by the said image for authentication.

  For example, when the mobile terminal CM authenticates the first light emission mode, the mobile terminal CM compares the captured image captured for a predetermined time with each authentication image for authenticating the first light emission mode. Identify points and differences. And when a coincidence point exists more than a predetermined threshold value, portable terminal CM authenticates that it is the 1st light emission mode. The same applies to the authentication of the second light emission mode.

  In addition, when authenticating the third light emission mode, the mobile terminal CM compares the captured image with the authentication image for authenticating the third light emission mode, as in the first embodiment. This is done from the viewpoint of placement, and the points of coincidence and differences are identified. And when a coincidence point exists more than a predetermined threshold value, portable terminal CM authenticates that it is the 3rd light emission mode. The same applies to the authentication of the fourth light emission mode.

  Then, when authenticating the fifth light emission mode, the mobile terminal CM compares the captured image with the authentication image from the viewpoint of the emission color in addition to the arrangement of the light emission points. Is identified. If the matching point is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, the mobile terminal CM determines that it matches the authentication image, and authenticates that it is the fifth light emission mode. The same applies to the authentication of the sixth light emission mode.

  When the mobile terminal CM authenticates that the light emission point is specified by the authentication image, the mobile terminal CM displays a display image corresponding to the light emission mode of the authenticated light emission point on the display screen 101 based on the function of the application.

As described above in detail, this embodiment has the following effects in addition to the effects of the first embodiment.
(3) The effect control CPU 31a changes the light emission mode of the light emitting points so that different effects are executed in the mobile terminal CM even if the light emitting points to be authenticated are the same. That is, even if the same light emission point (or the light emission point possessed by the same light emission decoration means) is photographed, the light emission mode of the light emission point to be authenticated can be varied depending on the light emission mode of the light emission point. And even if the same light emitting point (or the light emitting point possessed by the same light emitting decoration means) is photographed, it is possible to cause the mobile terminal CM to execute different effects depending on the light emitting mode. For this reason, the variation of production can be increased and the willingness to authenticate many times about the same light emission decoration means can be given. In addition, the player can be motivated to authenticate repeatedly depending on the difference in the light emission mode.

  (4) Even if the light emitting points to be authenticated (or the light emitting points of the light emitting decoration means) are the same, the light emitting mode can be made different by changing either the light emitting timing or the light emitting color. The number of modes can be easily increased. In addition, the movable body LED 51 can move for each effect movable body 50, and the arrangement of the light emitting points can be changed to increase the light emission mode.

In addition, the said embodiment can be actualized in another embodiment (another example) as follows.
In the above embodiment, by operating the rotating body 52, the light emission mode of the light emitting points by the rotating body LED 53 may be changed (the arrangement of the light emitting points is changed).

  In the above embodiment, the number and type of light emitting decoration means may be arbitrarily changed. For example, it is not necessary to provide a light emitting point on the movable body. Further, the start winning device 15 or the big winning device 20 may be provided with an LED so as to be a light emitting point. Further, the frame lamp of the pachinko gaming machine 10 may be used as a light emitting point, or an LED may be provided on the launch handle HD so as to be a light emitting point. Further, the operation button may be a light emitting point.

  In the above embodiment, the image displayed on the mobile terminal CM when the light emitting point is authenticated may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the description is not limited to the description regarding the light emitting decoration means, but may be information regarding the specifications of the gaming machine or description regarding how to hit. In addition, when an LED is provided on the launch handle HD so as to be a light emitting point, an operation method such that the game ball is strongly launched by rotating the launch handle HD may be displayed. Similarly, when the special winning device 20 is provided with an LED so as to be a light emitting point, information on the conditions under which the special winning opening 19 is opened may be displayed. Moreover, you may display the name of the light emission decoration means provided with the authenticated light emission point. Further, when an LED provided on the operation button is used as a light emitting point, when the light emitting point is authenticated, an image explaining an operation method, operation timing, and the like may be displayed.

  In the above embodiment, when the mobile terminal CM authenticates the light emitting point, the mobile terminal CM displays the image in real time on the captured image. However, the display mode of the image may be arbitrarily changed. For example, the mobile terminal CM may display a predetermined image independently without overlapping. That is, you may display only with portable terminal CM.

  In the above-described embodiment, the mobile terminal CM displays an image when the light emitting point is authenticated, but an effect other than the image display may be executed. For example, a predetermined sound may be output using a speaker of the mobile terminal CM, or may be vibrated using a vibration function of the mobile terminal CM.

-In the said embodiment, as long as the light emission mode of a light emission point can be changed, you may change the number of light emission points arbitrarily.
In the above embodiment, the mobile terminal CM stores the application and executes authentication and presentation. However, the mobile terminal CM connects to the server computer via a network such as the Internet, and uses the function of the server computer to perform authentication and rendering. An effect may be executed. That is, the server computer may be provided with a function corresponding to the application in the present embodiment, and the mobile terminal CM may perform data transmission / reception with the server computer.

  -In above-mentioned embodiment, although LED 51 for movable bodies and LED53 for rotary bodies were always light-emitted, you may change arbitrarily the period to light-emit. For example, it may be limited to a certain period during the changing game, for example, when the symbol is changing, or may be limited to a period during which a special effect (for example, reach effect) is executed. Further, the light may be emitted only during the demonstration production or when there is no changing game being executed. Further, the light may be emitted only during the big hit game. Further, the light emission mode may be changed depending on the period.

  In the above-described embodiment, it is adopted for a pachinko gaming machine, but it may be realized by a slot machine (rotating type gaming machine, hereinafter referred to as a slot). In addition, when the player operates the start operation means (start lever), the slot starts to fluctuate with a plurality of rotating bodies (reels) in which symbols are arranged, and the slot is determined whether or not it is related to whether or not the variable game is successful. Judgment is performed. In the slot, after the reels are rotated, a symbol stop process based on the determination of success / failure is executed in response to an operation of a stop operation means (stop button) provided corresponding to each reel. Value (award medal, etc.) is given.

  Further, when employed in the slot, it is not always necessary to execute the decorative symbol variation game in the effect display device, and an effect display such as an effect game suggesting a result of the determination of success or failure may be performed. The specific state in the slot means, for example, a state (so-called replay time or the like) in which a predetermined success / failure determination result (predetermined winning combination) is likely to be established, or a predetermined symbol combination (predetermined game value is added). It is a state (so-called assist time, etc.) that facilitates stopping the combination.

Next, a technical idea that can be grasped from the above embodiment and another example will be added below.
(A) In the above gaming machine, the light emitting decoration means may be a movable body.
(B) In the above gaming machine, a plurality of the light emitting decoration means may be provided, and each may be configured to be able to execute a light emitting effect independently.
