The slot game of this embodiment has a normal game and a special game. The normal game is a slot game that is played by betting a predetermined number of coins and operating the spin button. In the slot game, symbols are rearranged in a matrix-like symbol arrangement area of three rows and five columns according to a random number value generated by an application. Hereinafter, this symbol rearrangement process is referred to as a "lottery." If the rearranged symbols meet predetermined conditions, a payout such as coins or items is awarded according to the lottery results. Hereinafter, when the rearranged symbols meet the conditions for awarding a payout, this may be referred to as a "winning."

The special game is a slot game that is executed when a special symbol combination is rearranged during the normal game (A101), and allows a lottery process to be executed without betting coins. Furthermore, when a special symbol is rearranged during the special game (A102), an additional payout is awarded in addition to the payout based on the lottery result (A103). The additional payout is determined based on the payout when the special symbol combination is rearranged during the normal game that triggered the special game. In this way, the special game is executed under more favorable conditions than the normal game.

Furthermore, if a special symbol combination is rearranged during the special game (A104), the special game is accumulated (A105). The accumulated special game (hereinafter referred to as the "accumulated special game") is executed after the execution of the ongoing special game. Although not shown, if a special symbol is rearranged during the accumulated special game, an additional payout is awarded in addition to the payout based on the lottery result. The additional payout is determined based on the payout when a special symbol combination is rearranged during the special game that triggered the accumulation of the accumulated special game. Details of the special game will be described later.

In addition, when the information processing device 1 is connected to a mobile base station of a telephone carrier, the GPS sensor 1019 may be configured to be able to receive the satellite orbit signals transmitted by the mobile base station. In this case, the CPU 1001 calculates the latitude and longitude of the location where the information processing device 1 is located based on the satellite orbit signals and time signals received by the GPS sensor 1019 from the artificial satellites, as well as the satellite orbit signals received by the GPS sensor 1019 from the mobile base station.

FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram of the slot game of this embodiment. In the slot game, a slot game screen 4 is displayed on the display 1017 of the information processing device 1. The slot game screen 4 has a symbol display area 41, a game information display area 42, a progress status display area 43, an operation display area 44, a left performance display area 45, a right performance display area 46, a center performance display area 47, a first basic payout display area 481, a second basic payout display area 482, a third basic payout display area 483, and a fourth basic payout display area 484. The game information display area 42 is an area that displays information (such as the number of owned coins) that increases or decreases as the slot game is played. The progress information display area 43 is an area that displays the degree of achievement of the game clearing conditions and messages according to the development of the slot game.

The symbol display area 41 has display areas (columns 411, 412, 413, 414, and 415) in which five video reels are scrolled and stopped. A plurality of symbols are arranged on each of the video reels. When the video reels are stopped, three symbols are displayed in each of columns 411, 412, 413, 414, and 415. In this way, the symbols are rearranged by the plurality of symbols being stopped in the symbol display area 41. In this embodiment, 15 symbols are rearranged in a matrix of 3 rows x 5 columns in the symbol display area 41, but this is not limited thereto and may be 3 rows x 3 columns, etc.

The operation display area 44 is an input area that the user operates to progress through the slot game. The operation display area displays a spin button 441 for performing input operations such as starting the slot game, and a bet button 442 for increasing or decreasing the number of coins to be bet on the base game by touch operation.

The left effect display area 45 and the right effect display area 46 are areas for displaying effects, etc., that occur when transitioning from a normal game to a special game. The center effect display area 47 is an area for displaying the title image of the game.

In FIG. 3, reference numeral 48 denotes a "basic payout display area", which is made up of four areas: a primary basic payout display area 481, a secondary basic payout display area 482, a tertiary basic payout display area 483, and a quaternary basic payout display area 484. Each of the "basic payout display areas" 48 displays the payout for a special symbol combination that is achieved during a slot game. The payouts for special symbol combinations that are achieved during a slot game are displayed in the order in which they are achieved, from the primary basic payout display area 481 to the quaternary basic payout display area 484, according to conditions that will be described later. In this embodiment, four areas are set in the "basic payout display area" 48, but the number of areas is not limited to this.

A slot game is started in response to an input to the operation display area 44, and multiple symbols are moved around in the symbol display area 41 (scrolling image of a reel), and then displayed as still symbols. If the symbols rearranged in the symbol display area 41 form a predetermined combination, a prize is won and a payout is awarded.

Next, we will explain the configuration of the symbol columns 411 to 415 of the five video reels that are displayed in each column of the symbol display area 41. The video reels are stored in the RAM 1003.

Multiple symbols are arranged on the five video reels. The symbols arranged on each video reel are classified into regular symbols such as "BONUS1", "BONUS2", "WATER MELLON", "CHERRY", "BAR1", "BAR2", "BELL", "REPLAY", and "HIBISCUS", and special symbols such as "HANA", "WILD", and "M-WILD".

"HANA" is a special symbol in the present invention, and this special symbol functions as a scatter symbol that does not need to be arranged consecutively. In other words, the number of "HANA"s rearranged in the symbol display area 41 determines whether or not a "HANA" win will be achieved. "HANA" is also used in determining whether or not to award an additional payout in a special game. Details will be described later.

"WILD" and "M-WILD" are symbols that substitute for all normal symbols. In addition, as will be described in detail later, "WILD" and "M-WILD" are also components of special symbol combinations that are conditions for awarding special games. In addition, when a special symbol combination includes "WILD" or "M-WILD" as a component and is awarded, the payout for the special symbol combination that includes "M-WILD" is configured to award a larger payout than that of "WILD".

In this embodiment, the winning judgment is made by selecting one of the three regions of the upper, middle, and lower sections of each column, and determining the winning by the combination of symbols rearranged on the payline formed by connecting the three regions. For example, there is a payline formed by connecting the middle sections of each column, and a payline formed by connecting the upper section of column 411, the middle section of column 412, the lower section of column 413, the middle section of column 414, and the upper section of column 415. When three or more symbols of the same kind are rearranged consecutively on such a payline from column 411 to column 415, a winning is made, and coins are awarded as a dividend. In this embodiment, the number of paylines is five, payline 1 to payline 5, but it can be set to any number, such as 30. In this embodiment, all five paylines are activated in all slot games.

The winning determination may be of the "LEFT TO RIGHT" type. In this case, if a predetermined number or more (2 to 5 in this embodiment) of the same symbols are consecutively connected from column 411 to column 415 of the 15 symbols rearranged in the symbol display area 41, a winning combination is awarded, and a payout is awarded.

RAM 1003 stores a pay table for the slot game. This pay table for the slot game defines the amount of coins to be paid out, which is the payout for a winning symbol combination (symbol arrangement pattern). In the slot game, the scrolling of the five video reels is stopped, and a win is won when three or more identical symbols are rearranged consecutively from column 411 to column 415 on the payline in symbol display area 41, and a payout is awarded according to the type of win.

The symbol display area 41 in this embodiment is composed of video reels 411-415 displayed on the display 1017 of the information processing device 1, which is a smartphone, but is not limited to this. For example, in a stationary gaming machine equipped with multiple physical reels on which slot symbols are arranged, the stopping position of each scrolling reel may be determined based on the results of a random number lottery.

Figure 4 is a flow chart of the normal game. When the normal game is started, the CPU 1001 of the information processing device 1 generates a "number of times special symbol combinations are made" area in the RAM 1003, and stores "0" in the "number of times special symbol combinations are made" area (S101). In the flow charts of the normal game and the special game, the "number of times special symbol combinations are made" is the number of times special symbol combinations are made during the normal game and the special game, and is identification information related to the accumulation of special games displayed in the basic payout display area 48 described above. In this embodiment, this identification information is represented by "X", and this "X" means the total number of special games. For example, if X=4, four areas are displayed in the basic payout display area 48 as shown in Figure 3. Details will be described later.

After executing step S101, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not the number of coins required to play the slot game has been bet (S102). If it determines that the number of coins required to play the slot game has not been bet (S102: NO), the CPU 1001 repeats the process of step S102.

When it is determined that the required number of coins to play the slot game has been bet (S102: YES), the CPU 1001 executes a lottery process by pressing the spin button 441 (S103). After executing step S103, the CPU 1001 determines whether the lottery result is a prize (S104). When it is determined that the lottery result is not a prize (S104: NO), the CPU 1001 returns to step S102.

If it is determined that the lottery result is a prize (S104: YES), the CPU 1001 awards a payout according to the prize (S105).

After executing step S105, the CPU 1001 determines whether the winning combination is three or more symbols that include a "WILD" or "M-WILD" (hereinafter, the winning combination may be referred to as a "special symbol combination") (S106). If it is determined that the winning combination is not a special symbol combination (S106: NO), the CPU 1001 returns to the process of step S102.

When it is determined that the winning combination is a special symbol combination (S106: YES), the CPU 1001 increments the "number of times that a special symbol combination has been achieved" (S107). In other words, the process of S107 is a process of adding "1" to the value stored in the "number of times that a special symbol combination has been achieved" area of the RAM 1003.

After executing step S107, the CPU 1001 generates an "Xth special game draw number" area in the RAM 1003, and stores a value corresponding to the number of "WILD" or "M-WILD" included in the special symbol combination in the "Xth special game draw number" area (S108). Specifically, the process of S108 stores "10" if the winning combination includes one "WILD" or "M-WILD", "15" if the winning combination includes two "WILD" or "M-WILD", and "20" if the winning combination includes three "WILD" or "M-WILD".

In the flowcharts of the normal game and the special game, "the Nth (N is a natural number)th special game" refers to the special game that is awarded when the Nth special symbol combination is achieved during the normal game and the special game. Also, "the number of draws for the Nth special game" refers to the number of draws that can be performed in the Nth special game. Note that the special symbol combination achieved during the normal game is the first special symbol combination, so the number of draws for the Xth special game in step S108 refers to the number of draws for the first special game.

After executing step S108, the CPU 1001 generates an area for the "basic payout for the Xth special game" in the RAM 1003, and stores the winning payout in the "basic payout for the Xth special game" area (S109). As described above, this winning payout corresponds to the payout for a special symbol combination that includes "WILD" or "M-WILD".

In the flow charts for the normal game and the special game, the "basic payout for the Nth (N is a natural number) special game" indicates the payout awarded when the Nth special symbol combination is achieved during the normal game and the special game. The basic payout for the Xth special game in step S109 indicates the basic payout for the first special game. For example, this basic payout is displayed in the basic payout display area 48 in FIG. 3, and the primary basic payout display area 481, the secondary basic payout display area 482, the tertiary basic payout display area 483, and the quaternary basic payout display area 484 each display a value for determining the payout to be added as an additional payout.

After executing step S109, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not there is a next winning payline (S110). This is because the lottery process in step S103 may result in winning on multiple paylines. The winning paylines are selected in ascending order of the IDs assigned to each payline. For example, if payline 1 and payline 3 win, the order of selection is payline 1, payline 3.

If it is determined that a next winning payline exists (S110: YES), the CPU 1001 executes step S105 for the next winning payline.

If it is determined that there is no next winning payline (S110: NO), the CPU 1001 determines whether the "number of times special symbol combinations have been achieved" is "1" or greater (S111).

When it is determined that the "number of times a special symbol combination has been achieved" is "1" or more (S111: YES), the CPU 1001 transitions from the normal game to the special game (S112). At this time, an effect such as blinking of images displayed in the left effect display area 45, the right effect display area 46, etc. is executed.

If it is determined that the "number of times a special symbol combination has been achieved" is not "1" or more (S111: NO), and after executing step S112, the CPU 1001 ends the normal game.

Figure 5 is a flowchart of the special game. When the special game starts, the CPU 1001 generates a "number of special games being played" area in the RAM 1003, and stores "1" in the "number of special games being played" area. In this flowchart, the "number of special games being played" indicates the number of times a special game that was added by a special symbol combination is currently being played. In this embodiment, the "number of special games being played" is indicated as "Y."

After executing step S201, the CPU 1001 executes a lottery process by pressing the spin button 441 (S202). After executing step S202, the CPU 1001 determines whether the lottery result includes the scatter symbol "HANA" (S203). The scatter symbol "HANA" corresponds to the "special symbol" of the present invention. When it is determined that the lottery result includes a special symbol (S203: YES), the CPU 1001 awards an additional payout (S204). Specifically, the CPU 1001 generates a random number value and multiplies the "basic payout for the Yth special game" by a multiplication factor corresponding to the random number value. The process of S204 is executed the number of times corresponding to the special symbol included in the lottery result, and the sum of the values obtained as a result becomes the additional payout.

After step S204 is executed, or if it is determined that the lottery result does not include a special symbol (S203: NO), the CPU 1001 determines whether the lottery result is a winning combination (S205). If it is determined that the lottery result is a winning combination (S205: YES), the CPU 1001 awards a payout according to the winning combination (S206).

After executing step S206, the CPU 1001 determines whether the winning combination is a special symbol combination (S207). If it is determined that the winning combination is a special symbol combination (S207: YES), the CPU 1001 increments the "number of times special symbol combinations have been achieved" (S208). Specifically, in the process of S208, the CPU 1001 adds "1" to the value stored in the "number of times special symbol combinations have been achieved" area of the RAM 1003.

After executing step S208, the CPU 1001 generates an "Xth special game lottery number" area in the RAM 1003, and stores a value according to the number of "WILD" or "M-WILD" included in the special symbol combination in the "Xth special game lottery number" area (S107). Specifically, if the winning combination includes one "WILD" or "M-WILD", "10" is stored; if the winning combination includes two "WILD" or "M-WILD", "15" is stored; and if the winning combination includes three "WILD" or "M-WILD", "20" is stored.

After executing step S209, the CPU 1001 generates a "basic payout for the Xth special game" area in the RAM 1003 and stores the winning payout in the "basic payout for the Xth special game" area (S210).

After step S210 is executed, or if it is determined in step S207 that a special symbol combination has not been achieved (S207: NO), the CPU 1001 determines whether or not a next winning payline exists (S211). If a next winning payline exists (S211: YES), the CPU 1001 executes step S206 for the next winning payline.

If there is no next winning payline (S211: NO), or if it is determined that the result of the lottery in step 202 is not a winning one (S205: NO), the CPU 1001 decrements the "number of draws for the Yth special game" (S212). Specifically, the CPU 1001 subtracts "1" from the value stored in the "number of draws for the Yth special game" area of the RAM 1003.

After executing step S212, the CPU 1001 determines whether the "number of selections for the Yth special game" is 1 or more (S213). If it determines that the "number of selections for the Yth special game" is 1 or more (S213: YES), the CPU 1001 returns to step S202.

If it is determined that the "number of times the Yth special game has been drawn" is not 1 or more (S213: NO), the CPU 1001 determines whether the "number of times a special symbol combination has been achieved" (X) is greater than the "number of times the special game is being played" (Y) (S214).

When it is determined that the "number of times the special symbol combination has been achieved" (X) is greater than the "number of times the special game is being played" (Y) (S214: YES), the CPU 1001
The "number of times the special game is being executed" is incremented (S215). Specifically, "1" is added to the value stored in the "number of times the special game is being executed" area of the RAM 1003.

After executing step S215, the CPU 1001 returns to step S202.

If it is determined that the "number of times a special symbol combination has been achieved" (X) is not greater than the "number of times the special game is being played" (Y) (S214: NO), the CPU 1001 ends the special game and returns to processing of the normal game.
