  Next, a main routine executed by the main controller 80 of the pachinko machine 50 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. This main routine is started as a timer interrupt process with a period of 2 ms.

  In S10, it is determined whether or not the main routine is started by a normal timer interrupt. If the determination is affirmative (S10: yes), the process proceeds to S20, and if the determination is negative (S10: no), S15 is performed. The process is transferred to.

  In S15, the CPU and I / O are initialized, and the process proceeds to S80. On the other hand, if a positive determination is obtained in S10, the main controller 80 updates the initial value random number (S20), the big hit determination random number (S25), the big hit symbol determination random number update (S30), The hit determination random number is updated (S35), the reach determination random number is updated (S40), and the fluctuation pattern determination random number is updated (S45).

  Then, a winning confirmation process for detecting a winning of a game ball at a winning opening such as a starting opening (S50), a winning / not determining process for performing a big winning lottery due to winning at the starting opening (S55), and winning by a big winning lottery At this time, a big hit game process (S60) is performed for playing a big hit game that gives a predetermined game value to the player. In addition, a normal symbol determination process for performing a normal symbol lottery or the like due to the passage of the game ball through the normal symbol operating gate 12 (S65), and opening the normal electric accessory (second starting port 11) A general game process for performing a game (S67), a fraud monitoring process for detecting a player's fraud (S70), data and commands are transmitted to the sub-integrated control device 83, etc. Each output process for transmitting information is performed (S75). In S80, the initial value random number is repeatedly updated until the next timer interrupt occurs and the main routine is started.

  Next, a start winning confirmation process for detecting a winning at the first and second starting ports 10 and 11 and performing a storage for holding according to the winning will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG. This process is configured as a subroutine called from the winning confirmation process executed from the main routine.

  In S100, the main controller 80 generates a winning game ball to the first start port 10 or the second start port 11 based on the detection signal of the first start port SW10a and the detection signal of the second start port SW11a. Determine if you did. If the determination is affirmative (S100: yes), the process proceeds to S105. If the determination is negative (S100: no), the process ends.

  In S105, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the number of reserved memories for the special figure corresponding to the starting port where the winning has occurred is less than the maximum value (4 as an example). If the determination is affirmative (S105: yes), the process proceeds to S110. If the determination is negative (S105: no), the process ends.

  In S110, the main controller 80 determines a big hit determining random number used for the big hit lottery, a big hit symbol determining random number for determining a symbol (winning symbol) to be stopped and displayed when the big hit lottery is won, A random number for reach determination for determining whether or not to reach, a variation pattern determination random number for determining a variation time of a special symbol, and the like are extracted. And the extracted random number is memorize | stored as a pending | holding memory | storage about the special figure corresponding to the starting port which a prize produced, and a process is transferred to S115.

  In S115, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the newly generated jackpot determination random number related to the hold storage is a specific value (a value that is a hit in the big hit lottery), the reach determination random number related to the hold storage, and the like. Pre-reading determination is performed to determine whether or not the value is a specific value (a value that can be reached in the design effect). Then, a prefetch command indicating the result of the prefetch determination and the type of special figure (whether it is the first special figure or the second special figure) corresponding to the hold storage for which the prefetch determination is performed is generated, and the sub-integrated control The data is transmitted to the device 83 (S120).

  Note that the sub integrated control device 83 that has received the prefetch command stores the prefetch determination result indicated by the prefetch command until the pending storage corresponding to the prefetch command is exhausted. In subsequent S125, the main control device 80 generates a hold number command indicating how many hold storages have occurred for the special figure corresponding to the newly generated hold storage, and transmits it to the sub integrated control device 83. This process ends.

  A single command indicating the number of reserved memories corresponding to each special figure and the result of the prefetch determination for the reserved memories may be generated, and the command may be used in place of the prefetch command or the pending number command. .

  Next, the success / failure determination process for performing a big hit lottery using the big hit determination random number related to the hold storage will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. This process is executed from the main routine. First, with reference to FIG. 8, in S200, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the special electric accessory is operating, that is, whether or not the big hit game is being executed. If the determination is affirmative (S200: yes), the process ends. If the determination is negative (S200: no), the process proceeds to S205.

  In S205, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the first special figure or the second special figure is being displayed. If the determination is affirmative (S205: yes), the process proceeds to S285 in FIG. 10, and if the determination is negative (S205: no), the process proceeds to S210.

  In S210, main controller 80 determines whether or not the final display of the first special figure or the second special figure is being displayed. If the determination is affirmative (S210: yes), the process proceeds to S295 in FIG. 11. If the determination is negative (S210: no), the process proceeds to S215 in FIG.

  Subsequently, with respect to FIG. 9, in S215, the main control device 80 determines whether or not there is the second reserved storage. If the determination is affirmative (S215: yes), the process proceeds to S220, and if the determination is negative (S215: no) shifts the processing to S225.

  In S220, main controller 80 decrements the number of second reserved memories, selects the oldest second reserved memory, and shifts the process to S235. In S225, main controller 80 determines whether or not there is the first reserved storage. If the determination is affirmative (S225: yes), the process proceeds to S230, and if the determination is negative (S225: no), the process is performed. Exit.

  In S230, main controller 80 decrements the number of first reserved memories, selects the oldest first reserved memory, and shifts the process to S235. In S235, main controller 80 determines whether or not the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state is 1, and in the case of an affirmative determination (S235: yes), the process proceeds to S240, and in the case of a negative determination ( In S235: no), the process proceeds to S245.

  In S240, main controller 80 determines whether or not to win the jackpot lottery based on the jackpot determination random number related to the selected reserved storage and the determination table (probability change table) corresponding to the probability change state. Digest reserved memory. Then, the process proceeds to S250.

  On the other hand, in S245, the main controller 80 determines whether or not to win the jackpot lottery based on the jackpot determination random number related to the selected holding storage and the determination table (normal table) corresponding to the case where the probability variation state is not met. Determine and digest the reserved memory. Then, the process proceeds to S250.

  In S250, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the big hit lottery has been won. If the determination is affirmative (S250: yes), the process proceeds to S255, and if the determination is negative (S250: no), S270. The process is transferred to.

  In S255, main controller 80 determines a winning symbol based on the jackpot symbol determining random number associated with the digested reserved memory. Then, the process proceeds to S260. In S260, main controller 80 determines the variation time of the special symbol based on the random number for determining the variation pattern related to the reserved storage that has been digested, and proceeds to S265.

  In S265, the main control device 80 sets the number of rounds of the big hit game, whether or not to enter the probable change state or the short time state after the big hit game, and shifts the process to S280. On the other hand, when the negative determination is obtained in S250, the main control device 80 shifts to the determination of the reach determination random number and the variation pattern related to the digestion of the reserved storage in S270. Based on the random number for use, the special symbol variation time and the like are determined, and the process proceeds to S275. It should be noted that, depending on the variation time of the special symbol, the mode of the symbol effect (whether it becomes reach or normal (the symbol effect that goes out without reaching)) in the case of being lost in the big win lottery is determined.

  In S275, the main controller 80 updates the counter indicating the remaining number of jackpot lotteries that can be executed during the probability change state (number of times of probability change) and the remaining number of jackpot lotteries that can be executed during the short-time state (number of times reduced). Then, the process proceeds to S280.

  In S280, the main controller 80 transmits a hold number command indicating the number of the first hold memory and the second hold memory after the big hit lottery to the sub integrated control device 83. In addition, the change display of the special symbol corresponding to the digested pending storage is started, and the change start command indicating the change time of the special symbol to the sub integrated control device 83 (in other words, the change time of the effect symbol) The symbol effect is started by transmitting (also called a variation command). Further, a symbol designating command for designating an effect symbol to be displayed in a stopped state is transmitted to the sub integrated control device 83 (if it is a big hit, an effect symbol corresponding to the winning symbol determined in S255 is designated). This process is terminated.

  In other words, the symbol designating command indicates the result of the jackpot lottery, and if the jackpot is won, the type of jackpot (whether it involves a transition to a probability change state or a short-time state, how many rounds of the jackpot game are It is added that the command indicates whether it will be performed.

  Subsequently, with respect to FIG. 10, in S285 that shifts during the fluctuation display of the first special figure or the second special figure, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the fluctuation time of the special figure has passed, and in the case of an affirmative determination In (S285: yes), the process proceeds to S290, and in the case of a negative determination (S285: no), this process ends.

  In S290, the special symbol variation display is terminated, the special symbol fixed symbol is displayed, and the symbol finalizing command for causing the sub-integrated control device 83 to perform the final symbol display is transmitted, and this processing is terminated.

  Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 11, in S295, during the special figure confirmation display, it is determined whether or not the duration of the special figure confirmation display has ended. If the determination is affirmative (S295: yes), the process proceeds to S300. If the determination is negative (S295: no), the process ends.

  In S300, the special figure confirmation display is terminated, and the process proceeds to S305. In S305, main controller 80 determines whether the special figure that has been confirmed and displayed is that of the big hit. If the determination is affirmative (S305: yes), the process proceeds to S315, and the determination is negative. In (S305: no), the process proceeds to S350.

  In S315, the probability variation flag indicating the probability variation state is referred to. If the probability variation flag is 1, the probability variation flag is cleared (S320), and then the process proceeds to S325.

  In S325, the time reduction flag indicating the time reduction state is referred to. If the time reduction flag is 1, the time reduction flag is cleared (S330), and then the process proceeds to S335.

  Then, by sequentially executing the condition device operation start process (S335), the accessory continuous operation device operation start process (S340), and the big hit start effect process (S345), a command indicating the mode of the big hit game and the start of the big hit game Is sent to the sub integrated control device 83 to start the big hit game and the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, in S350 to which the process proceeds when a negative determination is obtained in S305, the probability variation flag is referred to, and when the flag is 1 (S350: yes), the remaining jackpot lottery that can be executed in the probability variation state Reference is made to the number of times (the number of probability variations) (S355). If the remaining number is 0 (S355: yes), the probability variation flag is cleared (S360), and the process proceeds to S365.

  In S365, the short time flag is referred to, and when the flag is 1 (S365: yes), the remaining number of jackpot lotteries that can be executed during the short time state (short time number) is referred to (S370). If the remaining number is 0 (S370: yes), the time reduction flag is cleared (S375), and the process proceeds to S380.

  In S380, a state designation command transmission process for sending a state designation command for notifying the current gaming state to the sub integrated control device 83 is executed, and this process is terminated.

  Next, the jackpot game process for controlling the progress of the jackpot game will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. This process is executed from the main routine.

  In S400, it is determined whether or not the accessory continuous operation device is operating, that is, whether or not the big hit game is being executed. If the determination is affirmative (S400: yes), the process proceeds to S405. If the determination is negative (S400: no), the process ends.

  In S405, it is determined whether or not the special winning opening 14 is being opened. If the determination is affirmative (S405: yes), the process proceeds to S450 in FIG. 13, and if the determination is negative (S405: no). , The process proceeds to S410.

  In S410, it is determined whether or not it is during the interval of each round in the jackpot game. If the determination is affirmative (S410: yes), the process proceeds to S470 in FIG. 13 and if the determination is negative (S410: no). Shifts the processing to S415.

  In S415, it is determined whether or not the big hit game is being ended. If the determination is affirmative (S415: yes), the process proceeds to S500 in FIG. 14, and if the determination is negative (S415: no), The process proceeds to S420.

  In S420, it is determined whether or not the start effect time in the jackpot game has elapsed. If the determination is affirmative (S420: yes), the process proceeds to S425, and if the determination is negative (S420: no), the process is performed. Exit.

  In S425, a special winning opening opening process for opening the special winning opening 14 is executed, and this process is terminated. Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 13, in S450 that proceeds while the special winning opening 14 is being opened, the main control device 80 determines whether or not the number of game balls won in the special winning opening 14 has become ten. If the determination is affirmative (S450: yes), the process proceeds to S460. If the determination is negative (S450: no), the process proceeds to S455.

  In S455, the main controller 80 determines whether or not the opening time of the special winning opening 14 has ended. If the determination is affirmative (S455: yes), the process proceeds to S460, and if the determination is negative (S455). : No) terminates the process.

  In S460, the main controller 80 executes a special winning opening closing process for closing the special winning opening 14, and proceeds to S465. In S465, main controller 80 executes a big hit interval process for setting an interval for each round of the big hit game, and ends this process.

  On the other hand, in S470 that shifts during the interval of each round, it is determined whether or not the interval time of jackpot game has elapsed. If the determination is affirmative (S470: yes), the process proceeds to S475 and the determination is negative. In (S470: no), this process ends.

  In S475, it is determined whether or not it is the final round of the big hit game. If the determination is affirmative (S475: yes), the process proceeds to S480, and if the determination is negative (S475: no), the process proceeds to S485. .

  In S480, a jackpot end effect process for performing an effect when the jackpot game is ended is executed, and the process ends. On the other hand, in S485, the main controller 80 executes a special winning opening opening process for opening the special winning opening 14, and ends this process.

  Subsequently, in FIG. 14, in S500 that is shifted during the big hit game end effect, it is determined whether or not the time of the end effect has ended. If the determination is affirmative (S500: yes), the process proceeds to S505. In the case of negative determination (S500: no), this process is terminated.

  In subsequent S505 and S510, the accessory continuous operation device and the condition device are stopped, and the process proceeds to S515. In S515, the main controller 80 determines whether or not to shift to the probability change state after the big hit game. If the determination is affirmative (S515: yes), the number of jackpot lotteries that can be executed in the probability change state (the number of probability changes). Is set (S520), the probability variation flag is set (S525), and the process proceeds to S530.

  In S530, it is determined whether or not to shift to the time-saving state after the big hit game. If the determination is affirmative (S530: yes), the number of jackpot lotteries (number of time reductions) that can be executed in the time-short state is set (S535) ), The time reduction flag is set (S540), and the process proceeds to S545.

  In S545 and S550, main controller 80 transmits to sub integrated control device 83 a process for transmitting a jackpot end command for ending the effect related to the jackpot game, and a state designation command for notifying the game state after the jackpot game ends. The state designation command transmission process to be executed is executed, and this process is terminated.

  The sub-integrated control device 83 of the pachinko machine 50, when the effect button 32 is pressed during the standby state (the state where the symbol effect or the hold symbol display is not performed on the effect screen of the effect symbol display device 6), is performed. And the selection screen 600 is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (FIG. 15A).

  The selection screen 600 displays four items: “start the game from the beginning”, “confirm the history”, “clear the history”, and “replace points with benefits”. By operating the effect button 32, any item can be selected.

  When “confirm history” is selected on the selection screen 600, the sub integrated control device 83 controls the effect symbol control device 82 and displays the game end screen 602 on the effect symbol display device 6 (FIG. 15B). )).

  On the game end screen 602, a game history information, a total number of acquired points, a two-dimensional code 86 that can specify setting information of production contents, and a history screen 88 are displayed. As described above, by reading the two-dimensional code 86 with a portable terminal, it is possible to check the game history on the website, exchange points, and the like. In this embodiment, as an example, a QR code (registered trademark) is used as a two-dimensional code.

  The history screen 88 displays the game history information as character information that the player can read. The game history information includes a record of games played by the player today, effects produced in the game, and the like. These are generated by the sub integrated control device 83 based on various commands received from the main control device 80. According to FIG. 15 (b), this player changed the special symbol 861 times (represented as “rotation number 861” in the figure) in today's game, and pulled the big hit three times (“number of hits 3 in the figure). ”), Notice A, notice F, and reach A were performed. Here, the number of rotations corresponds to “the number of times that the determination unit determines whether or not,” and the number of wins corresponds to “the number of times that the determination unit determines that it is a winner”. In addition, a rectangle 89 on the left of the history screen 88 indicates how much of the game history information currently displayed in the entire history acquired by the player. According to FIG. 15B, the rectangle 89 occupies about 1/3 of the length of the history screen 88 in the vertical direction and is located at the upper end, so that about 1/3 of the entire history is about 1/3. It will be displayed. In other words, this player has produced about three times as many effects as those displayed in FIG. 15B in today's game. In order to display the remaining 2/3 that is not displayed, the history screen 88 is scrolled by appropriately rotating the jog dial 33.

  Here, the player refers to a person who inputs a password issued based on the same ID to the pachinko machine 50 of the same model. Therefore, the person who entered a password based on another ID into the pachinko machine 50 is another player, but the password based on the same ID is entered into the same model of the pachinko machine 50 (whether or not they are the same machine). Those who have become the same player. When a game is played with the pachinko machine 50 and the two-dimensional code is read with the camera of the mobile terminal, the acquired points and game history information can be taken into the mobile terminal. The acquired information is automatically transmitted to the server 150 and recorded in the server 150.

  Returning to FIG. When the player selects “Clear history”, the history as displayed in the history column 88 is cleared, and the number of points and the total number of points acquired by the player in the gaming machine are cleared. Further, when “start the game from the next” is selected on the selection screen 600, the sub integrated control device 83 controls the effect symbol control device 82 and displays the password input screen 603 on the effect symbol display device 6 (FIG. 16 (d)).

  The password input screen 603 is a screen for inputting the password displayed on the mobile terminal. While the password input screen 603 is being displayed, the player can input the password in the input field 603a. Specifically, a character field 603b in which letters and numbers are displayed is displayed below the input field 603a. When the jog dial 33 is rotated clockwise, the cursor 603c in the character field 603b is changed from A → B →.・ → Y → Z → 0 → 1 → 2 → ・ ・ ・ → 9 → A (when the jog dial 33 is rotated counterclockwise, the cursor 603c moves in the reverse direction) and the effect button 32 is operated. The character on which the cursor 603c is positioned ("Z" in the case of FIG. 16D) is input and displayed on 603a. The sub integrated control device 83 collates the input password, and if the collation is successful (FIG. 16 (e)), the game reflecting the game history indicated by the password, the total number of points, and the setting information of the production contents Can start. When the game is started without selecting “Start the game from the next”, the game is played with the total number of points being zero.

  When “replace points with benefits” is selected on the selection screen 600, the sub-integrated control device 83 controls the effect symbol control device 82 to display the point exchange screen 605 on the effect symbol display device 6 ( FIG. 16 (f)). On the point exchange screen 605, the total number of points of the current player is displayed, and an item indicating an effect item (privilege) that can be obtained in exchange for points, and an item to select to return to the selection screen 600 are displayed. Is displayed.

  Note that, on the point exchange screen 605 in FIG. 16F, for example, items indicating three effect items “sky”, “sea”, and “flower” displayed as background images are displayed. The item indicates that it can be exchanged for 50 points.

  The player can select any item (production item) by operating the jog dial 33 and the production button 32. When the production item is selected, the sub integrated control device 83 subtracts the number of points corresponding to the production item from the total number of points and performs the production using the production item (in other words, the background image is displayed). The setting information of the production contents is updated so that the image corresponds to the production item.

  In addition, the table of FIG. 17 shows an example of a production item and the number of points necessary to acquire the production item. In this embodiment, in addition to the production items “sky”, “sea”, and “flower” that form the background image described above, “school uniform”, “suit”, and “kimono” are costumes of characters appearing in the production. It is possible to acquire production items and production items such as “floral design”, “arabesque design”, and “leopard design” which are design designs.

  In addition, during the jackpot game, a production item that displays a live video by a character appearing in the production (in other words, a production item that adds a new production that displays a live video during a big hit game) Can be earned.

  Of course, the present invention is not limited to these, and in addition to this, it is possible to obtain an effect item that modifies part of the effect or an effect item that adds a new effect in exchange for points. Further, for example, not only the modification or addition of effects on the effect screen displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 but also the effect items for modifying and adding sound effects, music, various LEDs, light emission patterns of the lamps 31 and the like. It may be provided.

  The sub integrated control device 83 of the pachinko machine 50 controls the effect symbol control device 82 in accordance with a command from the main control device 80 and performs various effects on the effect symbol display device 6. Specifically, the sub-integrated control device 83 is configured to perform a symbol effect according to a change start command or the like, and seven types of reach A to G are provided as reach modes in the symbol effect. When a change start command or the like is received, a random number is extracted, and the type of effect is determined by the content of the command and the random number.

  Further, the sub integrated control device 83 displays a holding symbol in accordance with the holding number command, etc., performs a pre-reading notice suggesting that it is a hit in the holding memory based on the pre-reading command, It is configured to make a jackpot notice for notifying the result of the success / failure determination based on the result. As types of these notices, 17 kinds of notices A to Q are provided.

  In addition, these notices may be performed using the effect screen of the effect symbol display device 6, the sound output from the speaker 30, various LEDs, the lamp 31, and the movable object 34, and any of these may be used. It may be performed using.

  In addition, the sub-integrated control device 83 is configured to perform a big hit effect that displays the number of rounds and the number of balls entered into the big winning opening during the big hit game. There are four types. In the sub integrated control device 83, a plurality of types of effects including the above-described reach A to G, notices A to Q, and jackpot effects A to D are performed.

  Further, as described above, the sub integrated control device 83 is configured to give a predetermined point corresponding to the type of effect when the effect is performed.

  The table of FIG. 18 shows the number of points given when the notices A to Q and reach A to G appear. It should be noted that in each production type such as advance notice and reach, the number of points given is higher for the production having a lower appearance rate. Points are also given when the number of changes in the special symbol after the password is entered (indicated as “rotation number” in FIG. 18) reaches 50, 200, 500, or 1000, or when it is a big hit. This is also shown. As described above, the rotation speed and the big hit are also referred to as effects in a broad sense in this embodiment.

  Next, an outline of a two-dimensional code generation process for displaying a game end screen in accordance with an instruction from the player is shown in the flowchart of FIG. This process is periodically executed by the sub integrated control device 83 while the selection screen is displayed. In addition, this process is a process executed by the player at the end of the game or in the middle of the game to confirm the two-dimensional code and the game history, and is not a process performed at the beginning of the game. When viewed from the whole, the explanation is mixed.

  In the two-dimensional code generation process, first, based on the operation signals from the effect button 32 and the jog dial 33, it is determined whether or not “confirm history”, which is one of the items displayed on the selection screen, is selected (S700). ). If the determination is affirmative (S700: yes), the process proceeds to S710. If the determination is negative (S700: no), the process ends.

  In S710, two-dimensional code image data is generated based on the latest game history information stored in the RAM of the sub-integrated control device, the current total number of points, the number of points, date information, and the like. Although not shown in FIG. 19, the player's ID is also included in the two-dimensional code. The ID is taken into the pachinko machine 50 through a password described later.

  The latest game history information indicates the game history at the time when this process is executed, and is information that is displayed as shown in the history screen 88 of FIG. 15B in the process of S720 described later. . Note that only a part of the history information displayed on the history screen 88 may be two-dimensionally encoded, or conversely, a history that is not displayed on the history screen 88 (for example, time-series data indicating the type of hits that have occurred, The number of times reach A has occurred, the number of times notice B has occurred, etc.) may also be two-dimensionally coded.

  The number of points is the total value of points earned by the player as a result of the execution of the game today, and the total number of points is the sum of all past points. Note that an upper limit is set for both the number of points and the total number of points, and the upper limit of the number of points is referred to as a limit value, and the upper limit of the total number of points is referred to as a maximum value. In the pachinko machine 50, the limit value is 100 and the maximum value is 9999.

  The date information is today's date measured by the timing circuit 110. Although not used in the present embodiment, the time counted by the timing circuit 110 may be entered in the two-dimensional code.

  In the subsequent two-dimensional code display process (S720), the effect symbol control device 82 is controlled, and the effect symbol display device 6 displays a game end screen on which the two-dimensional code based on the image data is displayed. When the two-dimensional code display process is executed, this process ends. The sub integrated control device 83 may display the two-dimensional code using a dedicated display device or the like without being limited to the effect symbol display device 6.

When the two-dimensional code displayed by the two-dimensional code display process (S720) is photographed and recognized by the camera of the portable terminal, the game history information included in the two-dimensional code, information such as the current total number of points, etc. It is imported into a mobile terminal. Precisely, software for accessing the server 150 is installed in the portable terminal in advance, and the two-dimensional code can be photographed and recognized by starting the software. When the two-dimensional code is recognized, the server 150 is automatically accessed (the player ID and its password are registered in advance in the software), and information indicated by the two-dimensional code is transmitted to the server 150. The server 150 that has received the information stores the information in a storage area assigned to the corresponding ID. This means that information included in the two-dimensional code is saved in the server 150. Note that the access to the server 150 by the software may be performed before photographing the two-dimensional code. In other words, the configuration may be such that when the software is started, the server 150 is first accessed, and then the two-dimensional code is photographed and recognized.

Next, an outline of the history clear process for clearing the history in accordance with an instruction from the player is shown in the flowchart of FIG. This process is periodically executed by the sub integrated control device 83 while the selection screen is displayed. In the history clear process, first, based on the operation signal from the effect button 32 and the jog dial 33, it is determined whether or not “Clear history”, which is one of the items displayed on the selection screen, has been selected (S750). If the determination is affirmative (S750: yes), the process proceeds to S760. If the determination is negative (S700: no), the process ends. In S760, the information related to the game that has been played immediately before is stored in the RAM of the sub integrated control device 83 is cleared. As information related to the game, ID is cleared in addition to the game history information, the number of points, and the total number of points shown in FIG.
The history clear process is executed when a game in the gaming machine is finished or when a history that the previous player has left without being cleared is cleared. For example, when the player wants to save the game history etc. in the server 150 and continues the game, it is only necessary to execute the two-dimensional code generation process and not execute the history clear process. When the game is to be completed completely, the history clear process may be executed after executing the two-dimensional code generation process.

  Next, a flowchart of FIG. 21 shows an outline of continuous game processing for accepting a password input from a player and resuming the game in a state where the total number of points is reproduced. This process is periodically executed by the sub-integrated control device 83 after the display of the selection screen is started and before the display of the effect screen is restarted. In S800, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the password input screen is displayed (whether or not “start a game” which is one of the items displayed on the selection screen is selected). To do. If the determination is affirmative (S800: yes), the process proceeds to S805. If the determination is negative (S800: no), the process ends.

  In S805, based on the operation signals from the production button 32 and the jog dial 33, the input of the password is accepted and it is determined whether or not the input of the password is completed. If the determination is affirmative (S805: yes), the process proceeds to S810. If the determination is negative (S805: no), the process ends.

  In S810, a password verification process for determining whether the input password is correct is executed, and the process proceeds to S815. In S815, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not the password verification is successful. If the determination is affirmative (S815: yes), the process proceeds to S820, and if the determination is negative (S815: no). Shifts the processing to S830.

In S820, the effect symbol control device 82 is controlled to display on the effect symbol display device 6 that the password has been successfully verified, the game setting process in S825 is executed, and this process is terminated. On the other hand, in S830, the effect symbol control device 82 is controlled to display on the effect symbol display device 6 that an error has occurred in the password verification, and the present process is terminated.

  An overview of the game setting process of S825 is shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game setting process is started, first, in S850, the date data included in the input password is checked against today's date counted by the clock circuit 110 to determine whether the password is today's data. judge. In the case of a positive determination (S850: yes), the number of points included in the password is set as the number of points of the pachinko machine 50 (S855), and the process proceeds to S865. In the case of negative determination (S850: no), 0 is set as the number of points of the pachinko machine 50 (S860), and the process proceeds to S865. Note that the number of points set in S855 is the number of points generated in the game played today during the process of S710.

In S865, the game history and the total number of points included in the password are set as data of the pachinko machine 50. Although not shown, the ID included in the password is also set as data. In the subsequent S870, the smaller one of the value obtained by subtracting the number of points from the limit number and the value obtained by subtracting the total number of points from the maximum value is set as the “reference value”. This means that the value that can be added in the future in today's game is the “reference value”. If the value obtained by subtracting the total number of points from the maximum value is smaller, the number of points exceeding the reference value cannot be obtained not only today but also in the future. When S870 is executed, the present process is terminated.

  The point addition process which gives a point according to the effect which appeared during the game is demonstrated using the flowchart of FIG. This process is periodically executed by the sub integrated control device 83 during the game.

  In S900, the sub integrated control device 83 determines whether or not an effect to which points are given has appeared. If the determination is affirmative (S900: yes), the process proceeds to S903, and the determination is negative (S900). : No) terminates the process.

  In S903, the number of points corresponding to the effect that appears based on the table shown in FIG. 18 is determined, and history update processing is performed in subsequent S906. Specifically, the effect determined to have appeared in S900 is stored as history information. In addition, what is not determined as an effect by itself (for example, the rotation speed) is also recorded by the history update process. In the subsequent S910, the effect symbol control device 82 is controlled and displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 to the effect that the effect (the target of point addition) has occurred.

  In subsequent S913, it is determined whether or not the point (determined in S903) is larger than the reference value (the value set in S870). In the case of negative determination (S913: no), the point is subtracted from the reference value (S916), the point is added to the number of points and the total number of points (S920), and an addition message to be described later is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (S923).

  In subsequent S926, it is determined whether or not the reference value is smaller than 50. If the determination is negative (S926: no), the number of points is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (S930), and the process is terminated. If the determination is affirmative (S926: yes), the reference value is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (S933), and the process is terminated.

  If the determination in S913 is affirmative, the reference value is added to the number of points and the total number of points in S936, the reference value is reset (set to 0) in S940, and a non-addition message to be described later is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 (S943), and this process is terminated.

  Next, privilege grant processing for exchanging points for privileges in accordance with instructions from the player will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. This process is periodically executed by the sub-integrated control device 83 after the display of the selection screen is started and before the display of the effect screen is restarted.

  In S950, the sub-integrated control device 83 determines whether or not “change point to privilege”, which is one of the items displayed on the selection screen, is selected. If the determination is affirmative (S950: yes), the process proceeds to S955. If the determination is negative (S950: no), the process ends.

  In S955, based on the total number of points at the present time, a privilege (production item) that can be acquired by the player is selected, and the process proceeds to S960. In S960, the sub integrated control device 83 controls the effect symbol control device 82 to display the point exchange screen on the effect symbol display device 6, and on the point exchange screen, the effect item that the player can acquire, An item indicating the number of points necessary for acquiring the production item is displayed. Further, based on operation signals from the effect button 32 and the jog dial 33, selection of an effect item or the like displayed on the point exchange screen is accepted.

  In subsequent S965, based on the operation signals from the effect button 32 and the jog dial 33, it is determined whether or not “return to selection screen”, which is an item displayed on the point exchange screen, has been selected. If the determination is affirmative (S965: yes), the process proceeds to S985. If the determination is negative (S965: no), the process proceeds to S970.

  In S970, it is determined based on the operation signals from the effect button 32 and the jog dial 33 whether or not an item corresponding to the effect item displayed on the point exchange screen has been selected. If the determination is affirmative (S970: yes), the process proceeds to S975. If the determination is negative (S970: no), the process returns to S965.

  In S975, the production content setting information is updated so that the selected production item is reflected in the production content, and the process proceeds to S980. In S980, the number of points corresponding to the obtained effect item is subtracted from the current total number of points, and the process proceeds to S985. In S985, a selection screen is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6, and this process is terminated.

  The example of the image output to the effect symbol display apparatus 6 as a result of performing the above process is shown in FIGS. First, FIG. 25A is an example showing a state where the effect symbol 91 is fluctuated in the non-hit game state, the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped, and the middle symbol is fluctuating. In this figure, “1” is displayed as the point number 92 at the lower right of the screen of the effect symbol display device 6 by the processing of S930. In addition, although “point” is displayed on the screen, this corresponds to the number of points in the present embodiment, and is hereinafter referred to as a point display 92. Reference numeral 93 represents special symbol 1 reserved storage.

  FIG. 25 (b) shows a state in which the change of the middle symbol performed in FIG. 25 (a) has stopped. After entering the password, in response to the fact that this change happened to be the 200th special symbol change, a message 94 “revolution 200 achieved!” Is displayed at the bottom of the screen of the production symbol display device 6. ing. This is displayed by the process of S910, and is hereinafter referred to as an effect message 94. Then, according to FIG. 18, when the rotation speed reaches 200 rotations, 2 points are added, and thus a display 95 indicating the point addition of “+2!” Is made on the point display 92. This is displayed by the processing of S923, and is hereinafter referred to as an addition message 95. The point display 92 is increased to “3” by adding 2 points. This is due to the processing of S920. Note that the message 94 “revolution number 200 achieved!” May be displayed when the 200th change of the special symbol starts.

  FIG. 25 (c) shows a state in which one reserved memory is digested from the state of FIG. 25 (b) and the next change is performed. Only the left symbol is stopped and “3” is displayed. It is displayed. FIG. 25 (d) shows a state where the right symbol is stopped at “3” from FIG. 25 (c). Since the left symbol and the right symbol are stopped at the same symbol, it is in a so-called reach state (also simply referred to as reach). However, in the pachinko machine 50, points are not added only by reaching the reach state. Is also not displayed.

FIG. 26A shows a state where the state of FIG. According to FIG. 18, the reach A is incremented by 2 points, so an addition message 95 “+2!” Is displayed on the point display 92, and an effect message 94 “reach A has occurred!” Is also displayed. . The point display 92 is increased to 5 by 2 being added. In addition, the effect design 91 is displayed small on the upper left of the screen, and the display of the hold memory is omitted.
FIG. 26B shows a state in which the state of FIG. 26A has progressed. In this state, the effect message 94 and the addition message 95 have disappeared. In the pachinko machine 50, the display of the effect message 94 and the addition message 95 disappears in a short time (for example, 3 seconds). In addition, when a plurality of effects (all of which are subject to point addition, for example, rotation speed 200 and reach A) occur, one effect message 94 and its addition message are displayed, and the short time has elapsed. After these have disappeared from the screen, the other effect message 94 and its addition message are displayed. Thus, when a plurality of effects are generated at the same time, the effect message 94 and the addition message 95 are sequentially displayed one by one. The order of display may be determined in advance (for example, display is given priority from the effects above in the table of FIG. 18), or the order may be determined by a random number each time it occurs. Further, the effect message 94 and the addition message thereof may not be sequentially displayed in this way, but may be displayed side by side in a predetermined direction (for example, up and down).

  FIG. 26 (c) shows a state where the middle symbol stops at “3” from the state of FIG. 26 (b) and is a big hit. According to FIG. 18, since 5 points are added to the big hit, an addition message 95 “+5!” Is displayed on the point display 92, and an effect message 94 is also displayed. The point display 92 is 10 because 5 is added.

  FIGS. 27 (a) and 27 (b) show how the advance notice for point addition is performed. From the state of Fig. 27 (a) where the number of points was 1 and only the left symbol was stopped at "7", the right symbol was also stopped at "7" and reached a reach state, and the dog symbol above the changing middle symbol. A character 96 is displayed. This character 96 is the notice A. According to FIG. 18, since 1 point is added to the notice A, an addition message 95 of “+1!” Is displayed on the point display 92, and an effect message 94 is also displayed. The point display 92 is increased to 2 because 1 is added.

  If a game is played with the history cleared without entering a password, for example, a screen as shown in FIG. In this state, “−” is displayed on the point display 92, and “−” remains even if a notice or a big hit that is the target of point addition occurs.

  Note that as the points are added, the reference value is decreased by the processing of S916. If the game is continued and points are added, the reference value may be less than 50. When the reference value is less than 50, S926 is positively determined, the reference value is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 by the process of S933, and the process of S930 is not executed, so the point display 92 is not output. The screen in this case is shown in FIG. In the lower right corner of the screen, “38 points after today's point” is displayed. When points are further added and the reference value becomes 0, FIG. 28A is obtained. When the reference value becomes 0, even if the effect to be added occurs, S913 is determined to be affirmative, so that the non-added message is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 by the process of S943. This is shown in FIG. In FIG. 28 (b), although the effect message 94 for the occurrence of the notice A is displayed, the addition message 95 is not displayed, and “this point is not added” is displayed instead of the point display 92. The This is the non-addition message 98. Unlike the point display 92 and the reference value display 97, the non-addition message 98 disappears in a short time (for example, 3 seconds). It is displayed again every time an effect to be added occurs. In addition, when the reason why the reference value has reached 0 is that the total number of points has reached the maximum value, the non-addition message 98 is displayed every time an effect to be added occurs even if the game is played on or after the next day. Although the reference value becomes 0 because the number of points has reached the limit value, S850 is negatively determined on the next day, and the number of points becomes 0 by the processing of S860. -Number of points = 100-0 = 100, and points can be added again.

  According to the pachinko machine 50 configured as described above, the number of points that can be acquired on that day is limited (100 in the case of this embodiment), so that it is prevented from being absorbed into the game for the purpose of points (and thus benefits). can do. Also, when the reference value is less than 50, the reference value is displayed on the effect symbol display device 6 instead of the number of points, and the player will play while grasping the number of points that can be acquired. In addition to eliminating the discomfort associated with no longer being added, there is no risk of mistaking it as a malfunction. Furthermore, since the number of points that can be accumulated is limited to within the limit value in total during the day, the effect of preventing retraction is further enhanced. On the other hand, for example, every time a password is entered, if the number of points is re-added from zero, each time the number of points approaches the limit value, the two-dimensional code generation process is started and the two-dimensional code is The limit value can be made meaningless by repeating the act of inputting the password again after clearing the number of points by reading and clearing the history, but according to the configuration of the present invention, such an act can be prevented.

  In addition, although the number of points is limited in this way, the history of the production history is updated regardless of the value of the number of points by the processing of S910, and if the production design fluctuates, the rotation speed increases. If a big hit occurs, the number of big hits increases and an effect message 94 is also displayed. Therefore, although a precious production appeared, the number of points had reached the limit value, so it could not be recorded as a history, and I was not interested in the number of points, but was interested in the production (history) Some players can be satisfied. Even if the reference value becomes 0 and points are no longer added, the production occurs at the same appearance rate as before the reference value becomes 0, and the game can be continued.

  In addition, when adding points, if the number of points exceeds the limit value or the total number of points exceeds the maximum value, the reference value is added to the number of points and the total number of points, instead of the point, by the processing of S936. , The number of points is just the limit value or the total number of points is just the maximum value (both may occur), the number of points exceeds the limit value, or the total number of points exceeds the maximum value There is no.

  Here, the correspondence relationship between the configuration of the present embodiment and the configuration requirements of the present invention is shown. The process of S250 corresponds to the “correction determination unit” of the present invention, the process of displaying reach A and notice A corresponds to the “production execution unit” of the present invention, and the process of S920 is the “point granting unit” of the present invention. And the “point addition means”, the continuous game process corresponds to the “unique information input means” of the present invention, the process of S906 corresponds to the “history holding means” of the present invention, and the two-dimensional code The generation process corresponds to the “two-dimensional code display means” of the present invention, the process of S913 corresponds to the “point number comparison determination means” of the present invention, and the processing from S913 to S943 corresponds to the “point addition prohibition means of the present invention. The continuous game processing corresponds to “unique information input means” of the present invention, and the history clear processing corresponds to “point number erasing means” of the present invention.

[Other Embodiments]
In the above-described embodiment, the so-called digipachi type pachinko machine 50 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can also be applied to a so-called honeymoon type or a pachinko machine configured as a mixer. Further, the present invention can also be applied to a sealed pachinko machine or a spinning-type game machine.

  In addition, the player may be forced to give a privilege by a random number or the like instead of the player selecting a privilege to be given. Also, every time a privilege is granted, instead of subtracting points from the total number of points, every time the total number of points reaches a predetermined value (eg, 500 points, 2000 points,..., 6000 points,...) It is good also as a structure where a privilege is provided or the opportunity to select a privilege is given. The period for summing the points may not be set today, but other periods (for example, 2 days or 5 hours) may be set. Further, the maximum value of the total number of points may be abolished, and whether or not points can be added may be determined based on only the limit value of the number of points. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which always displays a reference value and the total number of points on the effect symbol display device 6. In addition, it has been described that even if the reference value becomes 0 and points are not added, the production occurs at the same appearance rate as before the reference value becomes 0, but the appearance rate may change. Alternatively, the appearance rate of some effects changes, but other effects may be generated at the same appearance rate as before the reference value becomes zero.

  The menu of the selection screen 600 may be changed to another configuration. For example, an option of “stop game” is provided, and when “stop game” is selected, a two-dimensional code is displayed and the total number of points is cleared. In the above embodiment, the number of points can be stored up to the limit value and the total number of points can be stored up to the maximum value. However, when the determination in S913 is affirmative (the point obtained by the generated effect is the reference value). In the case of exceeding (), the specification may not be added at all. This is realized by abolishing S936. Moreover, it is good also as a specification which can exceed a limit value and a maximum value only once within a predetermined period. For example, when the number of points is 99 and the rotational speed reaches 200, and 2 is added according to the table of FIG. 18, the number of points becomes 101, which exceeds the upper limit value 100, but this is allowed. However, it can be considered that no specification will be made for any points during the day, no matter how many points are added. It is also conceivable to make a determination based on “whether or not the point is greater than or equal to the reference value” rather than “whether or not the point exceeds the reference value”.

  In the above embodiment, the privilege to be given relates to a game in the pachinko machine 50 as shown in FIG. 17, but other privileges may be used. For example, so-called wallpaper used for the display screen of the portable terminal or an original ringtone may be used as a privilege. It can be considered that such a privilege is a specification given from the server 150. Moreover, in the said Example, although the password was used in order to input a player's ID etc. into the pachinko machine 50, and the two-dimensional code 86 was used in order to transmit the historical information of the pachinko machine 50 to a portable terminal, other than this The method may be used. For example, a player is provided by providing a camera in the pachinko machine 50, displaying a two-dimensional code corresponding to a password (or including more information) on the screen of the mobile terminal, and setting up the camera with the pachinko machine 50 May be input to the pachinko machine 50. Or it is good also as a structure which connects the sub integrated control apparatus 83 of the portable terminal and the pachinko machine 50 with a cable, etc., and gives and receives the player's ID and the history information of the pachinko machine 50. The pachinko machine 50 according to the embodiment includes the sub integrated control device 83, but controls a plurality of sub control devices (for example, the sub control device that controls the effect symbol display device 6 and the speaker 30). A sub-control device, a sub-control device that controls the lamp 31, and the like) may be provided.
