The normally white is a configuration in which white display is performed (light transmitted to the display surface side is visible from the outside) in a state where the liquid crystal is not driven. By adopting a normally white transparent liquid crystal panel 34, even if a situation where the liquid crystal cannot be driven occurs, identification information such as symbols displayed on the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R The variable display and stop display can be visually recognized, and the game can be continued. That is, even when such a situation occurs, it is possible to play a game centered on the variation display mode and the stop display mode of the identification information displayed on the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

The light guide plate 35 is for guiding light from the fluorescent lamps 37a and 37b to the transparent liquid crystal panel 34 (illuminating the transparent liquid crystal panel 34), and is provided on the back side of the transparent liquid crystal panel 34. It is composed of a transparent member (having a light guiding function) such as an acrylic resin having a thickness.

The reflective film 36 is, for example, a white polyester film or an aluminum thin film formed with a silver vapor deposition film, and reflects light introduced into the light guide plate 35 toward the front side of the light guide plate 35. The reflective film 36 includes a reflective area 36A and a non-reflective area (transmissive area) 36B.

The fluorescent lamps 37a and 37b are arranged along the upper and lower ends of the light guide plate 35, and both ends are supported by a lamp holder 39 (see FIG. 4). The light emitted from the fluorescent lamps 37a and 37b is reflected by the reflection area 36A of the reflection film 36 to illuminate the transparent liquid crystal panel 34.

The fluorescent lamps 38a and 38b are arranged toward the rotary reels 3L, 3C, and 3R at the upper position and the lower position on the back side of the reflective film 36, respectively. The light exiting from the fluorescent lamps 38a and 38b, reflected by the surfaces of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, and 3R and incident on the non-reflective region 36B illuminates the transparent liquid crystal panel 34.

Thus, in the liquid crystal display device 5, the light irradiated from the fluorescent lamps 37a and 37b and reflected from the reflection region 36A of the reflective film 36 and the fluorescent lamps 38a and 38b are irradiated, and the rotation reels 3L, 3C and 3R The light reflected from the surface and incident on the non-reflective region 36B illuminates the transparent liquid crystal panel 34.
Accordingly, the region of the liquid crystal display device 5 corresponding to the non-reflective region 36B of the reflective film 36 is a region that switches to a transparent / non-transparent state depending on whether or not the liquid crystal is driven. The region of the liquid crystal display device corresponding to is in a non-transparent state regardless of whether or not the liquid crystal is driven.

In the pachislot gaming device 1, only a part of the liquid crystal display device is a region that switches to a transparent / non-transparent state. In the gaming machine of the present invention, the display screen of the liquid crystal display device is entirely transparent. / A region that switches to a non-transparent state may be used. In this case, in the pachislot gaming device 1, when the entire area of the liquid crystal display device 5 is an area to be switched to the transmission state or the non-transmission state, the reflection film 36 is all set as the non-reflection area 36 </ b> B or the reflection film 36 is omitted Good.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing an internal configuration of the pachislot gaming apparatus shown in FIG.
The main control circuit 81 has a microcomputer 40 disposed on a circuit board as a main component. The microcomputer 40 includes a CPU 41 that performs a control operation according to a preset program, a ROM 42, and a RAM 43. Connected to the CPU 41 are a clock pulse generation circuit 144 and a frequency divider 145 for setting a reference clock pulse, and a random number generator 146 and a sampling circuit 147 for generating a random number to be sampled. In addition, as a means for random number sampling, you may comprise so that the sampling of a random number may be performed on the operation | movement program of CPU41.

The ROM 42 stores various control commands (commands) to be transmitted to the sub control circuit 82. As the command, for example, a command related to display control for the liquid crystal display device 5 is stored.

Examples of commands related to display control for the liquid crystal display device 5 include an effect start command, an end effect command, and the like.
The effect start command is a command for causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display an effect image when the rotation of the three rotary reels 3 is started. The end effect command is a command for causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display an effect image when all three rotary reels 3 are stopped.
Further, a command relating to setting or releasing of RB and BB is also stored in the ROM 42, and the setting or releasing of RB or BB is notified to the sub-control circuit 82 by the command. It should be noted that data indicating that RB or BB is being executed may be included in various commands relating to display control for liquid crystal display device 5 instead of commands relating to setting or canceling RB or BB.

Various commands as described above are called from the ROM 42 by the CPU 41 and set in the RAM 43 when the predetermined condition is satisfied. The command set in the RAM 43 is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing. The sub control circuit 82 executes various processes based on the supplied command.

The sub control circuit 82 does not input a command or the like to the main control circuit 81, and communication is performed in one direction from the main control circuit 81 to the sub control circuit 82. The ROM 42 stores a symbol table for associating the rotational positions of the rotary reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the rotary reel, and a combination of symbols for winning. In addition, a winning symbol combination table in which a winning medal dividend number and a winning determination code representing the winning are associated, a lottery probability table necessary for performing a lottery for determining an internal winning combination, and the like are stored.
In addition to the above-described commands, the RAM 43 stores variables, flags, and the like related to game progress such as the number of credits corresponding to the number of medals.

Major peripheral devices (actuators) whose operations are controlled by control signals from the microcomputer 40 include various lamps (1-BET lamp 9a, 2-BET lamp 9b, maximum BET lamp 9c, WIN lamp 17, and game medal insertion. A lamp 24, a game start display lamp 25), various display units (payout number display unit 18, medal accumulated number display unit 19, and accessory operation number display unit 20), and medal are stored. There are a hopper (including a payout driving unit) 50 for paying out a predetermined number of medals, and stepping motors 59L, 59C, 59R for rotating the rotary reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

Further, a motor drive circuit 49 for driving and controlling the stepping motors 59L, 59C and 59R, a hopper drive circuit 51 for driving and controlling the hopper 50, a lamp driving circuit 55 for driving and controlling various lamps, and a display for driving and controlling various display units. The unit drive circuit 58 is connected to the output unit of the CPU 41 via the I / O port 48. Each of these drive circuits receives a control signal such as a drive command output from the CPU 41, and controls the operation of each actuator.

The main input signal generators for generating input signals necessary for the microcomputer 40 to generate control commands include a start switch 6S, a 1-BET switch 11, a maximum BET switch 13, a stored medal settlement switch 14, There are an inserted medal sensor 22S, a reset switch 62, a setting key type switch 63, a reel stop signal circuit 56, a reel position detection circuit 60, and a payout completion signal circuit 61. These are also connected to the CPU 41 via the I / O port 48.

The start switch 6S detects the operation of the start lever 6. The inserted medal sensor 22 </ b> S detects a medal inserted into the medal slot 22. The reel stop signal circuit 56 generates a stop signal in response to the operation of each stop button 7L, 7C, 7R. With these operations, the decision button 26 and the cancel button 27 can switch the display screen of the liquid crystal display device 5 and input an instruction.

The reel position detection circuit 60 receives the pulse signal from the reel rotation sensor and transmits a signal for detecting the position of each of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R to the CPU 41.
The payout completion signal circuit 61 generates a medal payout completion signal when the count value of the medal detection unit 50S (the number of medals paid out from the hopper 50) reaches the designated number. When the CPU 41 receives this medal payout completion signal, the driving of the hopper 50 is stopped via the hopper drive circuit 51 to complete the payout of medals. The medal detection unit 50S includes a medal sensor including a physical sensor for detecting medals paid out from the hopper 50, and can count the number of medals paid out by the medal sensor.

In the circuit shown in FIG. 7, the random number generator 46 generates a random number belonging to a certain numerical range, and the sampling circuit 47 samples one random number at an appropriate timing after the start lever 6 is operated. . Based on the random number sampled in this way and the probability lottery table stored in the ROM 42, the internal winning combination is determined. After the internal winning combination is determined, random number sampling is performed again to select the “stop control table”.

After the rotation of the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the number of drive pulses supplied to each of the stepping motors 59L, 59C, 59R is counted, and the counted value is written in a predetermined area of the RAM 43. From the reels 3L, 3C, 3R, reset pulses are obtained for each rotation, and these pulses are input to the CPU 41 via the reel position detection circuit 60. The count value of the drive pulse counted in the RAM 43 is cleared to “0” by the reset pulse thus obtained. As a result, the RAM 43 stores a count value corresponding to the rotation position within the range of one rotation for each of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R.

In order to associate the rotational positions of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R as described above with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the reel, a symbol table is stored in the ROM. In this symbol table, the code numbers sequentially given for each fixed rotation pitch of each of the reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with reference to the rotation position where the reset pulse is generated are provided corresponding to each code number. A symbol code indicating the displayed symbol is associated with the symbol.

Furthermore, a winning symbol combination table is stored in the ROM 42. In the winning symbol combination table, winning symbol combinations, winning medal payout numbers, and winning determination codes representing the winnings are associated with each other. The winning symbol combination table is referred to when the left reel 3L, the center reel 3C, and the right reel 3R are stopped and when a winning confirmation is made after all reels are stopped.

When an internal winning is made by a lottery process (probability lottery process) based on the random number sampling, the CPU 41 sends an operation signal sent from the reel stop signal circuit 56 at the timing when the player operates the stop buttons 7L, 7C, 7R, and Based on the selected “stop control table”, a signal for stopping the reels 3L, 3C, 3R is sent to the motor drive circuit 49.

In the stop mode indicating that the winning combination of the internal winning combination is established, when “payout” is selected by switching the stored medal settlement switch 14, the CPU 41 supplies the hopper drive circuit 51 with a payout command signal. A predetermined number of medals are paid out from 50. At this time, the medal detection unit 50S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 50, and when the count value reaches a designated number, a medal payout completion signal is input to the CPU 41. As a result, the CPU 41 stops driving the hopper 50 via the hopper drive circuit 51 and ends the “medal payout process”.
On the other hand, when “credit” is selected by switching the stored medal settlement switch 14, the number of medals to be paid out is stored in the RAM 43 as credits.

The work RAM 210 has a function of storing various flags and variable values as a temporary storage area of the sub CPU 206. Furthermore, the work RAM 210 stores a two-dimensional code that encodes the effect identification information. In the present embodiment, the work RAM 210 is used as a temporary storage area of the sub CPU 206, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and any readable / writable storage medium may be used.

The audio control circuit 230 includes a sound source IC 232 that controls audio, an audio data ROM 234 that stores various audio data, and an amplifier 236 (hereinafter referred to as AMP) for amplifying audio signals.

The sound source IC 232 is connected to the sub CPU 206, the audio data ROM 234, and the AMP 236. The sound source IC 232 controls sound generated from the speaker 21.

The sub CPU 206 selects one audio data from a plurality of audio data stored in the audio data ROM 234 based on the command supplied from the CPU 41. Thereafter, the sub CPU 206 reads the selected audio data from the audio data ROM 234 and supplies it to the sound source IC 232. The sound source IC 232 that has received the sound data converts the sound data into a predetermined sound signal and supplies the sound signal to the AMP 236. The AMP 236 amplifies the audio signal and generates audio from the speakers 21 (21L and 21R).

The display control circuit 250 generates a screen image according to a game result determined by the CPU 41 or an instruction input by the various buttons 26 and 27 and performs control for displaying the screen image on the liquid crystal display device 5. The image data processor (hereinafter referred to as VDP) 212, an image data ROM 216 for storing various image data, and a D / A converter 218 for converting the image data as an image signal.

By storing the image data in a predetermined storage area of the storage medium, a screen image is displayed on the transparent liquid crystal panel 34 of the liquid crystal display device 5 at a predetermined timing.

The image data ROM 216 stores a plurality of types of effect image data representing effect images such as a background image and a character image representing a character, for example. The effect image data stored in the image data ROM 216 includes effect image data representing a still image and effect image data representing a moving image. In the present embodiment, a case where the production identification information is encoded to generate a two-dimensional code will be described.

By doing so, the screen image data is synthesized and supplied to the D / A converter 218 at a predetermined timing. The D / A converter 218 converts the screen image data as an image signal and supplies the image signal to the liquid crystal display device 5. As a result, the two-dimensional code 92 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 (see FIG. 3). The player can take an image of the two-dimensional code 92 displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 with the CCD camera 308 provided in the mobile phone 300.
At this time, the liquid crystal display device 5 displays output means for outputting output information corresponding to the game situation or game result, that is, code information (two-dimensional code 92) in which effect identification information corresponding to the effect is encoded. It functions as a display means.

In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which the sub CPU 206 encodes the production identification information to generate a two-dimensional code. However, in the present invention, the two-dimensional code may be stored in a storage unit included in the gaming machine. .

In the following, it is assumed that the pachislot gaming device 1 is activated, the variables used in the CPU 41 are initialized to a predetermined value, and are constantly operating in a state where the set value is also set to the predetermined value. .

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a main routine of game execution processing performed in the main control circuit.

First, the CPU 41 determines whether or not there is a request for automatic insertion of medals (step S120). The case where there is a request for automatic insertion is a case where a winning of replay (replay) is established in the previous game. When there is a request for automatic insertion of medals, medals for the insertion request are automatically inserted (step S122), and a medal insertion command is transmitted to the sub-control circuit 82 (step S123).

On the other hand, when it is determined in step S120 that there is no request for automatic medal insertion, the CPU 41 determines whether or not a medal has been inserted (step S121). That is, the CPU 41 determines whether or not a detection signal issued by the insertion medal sensor 22S that has detected that a medal has been inserted into the medal insertion slot 22 has been received, or whether the BET switch (1-BET switch 11 or maximum BET switch 13). ) To determine whether or not a medal has been inserted. When it is determined that a detection signal issued by the BET switch (1-BET switch 11 or maximum BET switch 13) is received, the CPU 41 corresponds to the number of medals bet from the number of credits stored in the RAM 43. A process of subtracting the number of credits is performed.

When determining in step S121 that no medal has been inserted, the CPU 41 returns the process to step S120.
If it is determined in step S121 that a medal has been inserted, or if the process in step S123 is executed, the CPU 41 determines whether the start lever 6 has been operated (step S124). That is, the CPU 41 determines whether or not an input signal from the start switch 6S has been received.

When determining in step S124 that the start lever 6 has not been operated, the CPU 41 returns the process to step S120. On the other hand, when determining in step S124 that the start lever 6 has been operated, the CPU 41 performs processing related to various settings (step S125). In these various setting processes, random numbers are sampled from the random number generator 146 at the timing when the start lever 6 is operated, and the internal winning is based on the sampled random number values and the lottery probability table set in the RAM 43. A lottery process for generating a combination (winning flag) is performed. In the various setting processes, for example, a win lamp lighting lottery process, a process related to selection of a stop control table for stopping the rotating reel, a process for initializing for reel rotation, and the like are performed, and the rotating reel 3 (3L, 3C, 3R) rotation is started.

After the rotation of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R is started, the number of drive pulses transmitted to each of the stepping motors 59L, 59C, 59R is counted, and the counted value is stored in the RAM 43. A reset pulse is obtained for each rotation from the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R, and these pulses are input to the CPU 41 via the reel position detection circuit 60. The count value is cleared to “0” in the drive pulse counted in the RAM 43 by the reset pulse thus obtained. By doing so, the RAM 43 stores the count value corresponding to the rotational position within one rotation range for each of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, 3R.

Further, in the symbol table stored in the ROM 42 for associating the rotational positions of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, and 3R with the symbols drawn on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating reel, the rotational position at which the reset pulse is generated is used as a reference. A code number that is sequentially given for each of the rotation reels 3L, 3C, and 3R and a symbol code indicating a symbol that is provided for each code number are associated with each other. Further, the winning symbol combination table stored in the ROM 42 is referred to when controlling the rotation of the rotating reels 3L, 3C, and 3R and when confirming winning after stopping all the rotating reels. After executing the process of step S125, the CPU 41 shifts the process to step S126.

In step S <b> 126, the CPU 41 sets an effect start command in the RAM 43. This effect start command is a command for starting display of a predetermined effect image on the liquid crystal display device 5 and includes data on the internal winning combination determined by the lottery process. The effect start command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.
After executing the process of step S126, the CPU 41 shifts the process to step S128.

In step S128, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the stop button 7 (7L, 7C, 7R) is “ON” based on the presence / absence of an input signal from the reel stop signal circuit 56 (step S128). When it is determined that the stop button 7 is not “ON”, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the value of the automatic stop timer is “0” (step S129), and when it is determined that the value is not “0”. The process returns to step S128.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S128 that the stop button 7 is “ON”, or if it is determined in step S129 that the value of the automatic stop timer is “0”, the CPU 41 corresponds to the stop button 7. The rotation of the rotating reel 3 is stopped. At this time, the winning request (internal winning combination), the symbol position (the rotating position of the rotating reel 3 at the time of operation), the selected stop control table, etc. The number of frames is determined (step S130).

Next, the CPU 41 performs a process of rotating and stopping the rotating reel 3 by the number of sliding frames determined in step S130 (step S131), and sets a stop request for one rotating reel 3 (step S132). .

Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not all of the three rotary reels 3 (3L, 3C, 3R) have been stopped (step S135). If it is determined that all the rotating reels 3 are not stopped, the process returns to step S128. On the other hand, if it is determined that all the rotating reels 3 have stopped, the CPU 41 performs a winning search (step S136). At this time, a winning symbol combination table or the like stored in the ROM 42 is referred to. Further, it is determined whether or not the winning flag is normal. If not, the illegal error may be displayed and the process may be interrupted.

Next, the CPU 41 sets an end effect command in the RAM 43 (step S137). This end effect command is a command for displaying an effect image at the end of the game according to the game result, and includes data related to the result of the winning search in step S136. The end effect command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.

Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not a medal has been paid out, that is, whether or not there is a winning number (step S138).
When determining that there is a medal payout, the CPU 41 stores or pays out the number of medals according to the gaming state and the winning combination (step S139). When storing medals, the CPU 41 performs a process of adding the number of credits stored in the RAM 43. On the other hand, when paying out medals, the CPU 41 sends out a payout command signal to the hopper driving circuit 51 and pays out a predetermined number of medals from the hopper 50. At that time, the medal detection unit 50S counts the number of medals to be paid out from the hopper 50, and when the count value reaches a designated number, a medal payout completion signal is input to the CPU 41. As a result, the CPU 41 stops driving the hopper 50 via the hopper drive circuit 51 and ends the medal payout process.

Next, the CPU 41 determines whether or not an RB has been won (step S140). If it is determined that RB has been won, the CPU 41 performs processing related to RB setting (step S141). In step S <b> 141, the CPU 41 performs processing related to the setting of the RB lottery probability table and the RB winning symbol combination table. In step S141, the CPU 41 starts counting the number of RB game winnings and the like, and starts a process of displaying the count value on the accessory operation count display unit 20. After executing the process of step S141, the CPU 41 shifts the process to step S142.

In step S <b> 142, the CPU 41 sets an RB setting command in the RAM 43. The RB setting command is a command for causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display an RB effect image as a screen image, and is supplied to the sub-control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.

When it is determined in step S140 that the RB has not been won or when the process of step S142 is executed, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the BB has been won (step S143). If it is determined that BB has been won, the CPU 41 performs processing related to BB setting (step S144). In step S144, the CPU 41 performs processing related to setting of a BB lottery probability table, a BB winning symbol combination table, and the like. In step S146, the CPU 41 starts counting the number of times the BB game is consumed, displaying the count value on the accessory action number display unit 20, counting the number of medals paid out, and the like.
Thereafter, the CPU 41 shifts the processing to step S145.

In step S145, the CPU 41 sets a BB setting command in the RAM 43. The BB setting command is a command for causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display an effect image for BB as a screen image, and is supplied to the sub-control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.

When it is determined in step S143 that the BB has not been won or when the process of step S145 is executed, the CPU 41 determines whether or not the RB has ended (step S146). If it is determined that the RB has ended, the CPU 41 next performs a process related to the RB setting cancellation (step S147). In step S148, the CPU 41 changes from the RB lottery probability table set in the process of step S141, the RB winning symbol combination table, or the like to the lottery probability table used for the normal gaming state (other than RB or BB). Performs processing related to setting change. Thereafter, the CPU 41 shifts the processing to step S148.

In step S <b> 148, the CPU 41 sets an RB release command in the RAM 43. The RB release command is a command for stopping the display of the effect image for RB as the screen image and causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display a normal effect image (other than RB or BB). The RB release command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.

If it is not determined in step S146 that the RB has ended, or if the process of step S148 is executed, the CPU 41 determines whether the BB has ended (step S149). If it is determined that the BB has ended, the CPU 41 then performs a process related to the BB setting cancellation (step S150). In step S150, the CPU 41 sets the lottery probability table used in the normal gaming state (other than RB or BB) from the lottery table for BB set in the processing of step S144, the winning symbol combination table for BB, or the like. Process related to change. Thereafter, the CPU 41 moves the process to step S151.

In step S <b> 151, the CPU 41 sets a BB release command in the RAM 43. The BB release command is a command for stopping the display of the effect image for BB as the screen image and causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display a normal effect image (other than RB or BB). The BB release command is supplied to the sub control circuit 82 at a predetermined timing.
If it is determined in step S149 that the RB has not ended, or if the process of step S151 is executed, this subroutine is ended.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of command reception processing performed in the sub control circuit.
First, in step S210, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not an effect start command has been received. If it is determined that an effect start command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S210.
On the other hand, if it is determined that an effect start command has been received, in step S201, the sub CPU 206 selects an effect pattern corresponding to the command from a plurality of types of effect patterns stored in the program ROM 208.
The effect pattern includes various data for causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display the effect image, such as the type and display period of the effect image. For example, in a normal game state (a game state other than BB or RB), an effect pattern for displaying a normal effect image is selected.
Further, when the RB flag is set, the sub CPU 206 selects an effect pattern for displaying the effect image in the RB. When the BB flag is set, an effect pattern for displaying an effect image in the BB is selected.

Next, in step S <b> 202, the sub CPU 206 supplies data indicating an effect pattern to the display control circuit 250.
Subsequently, the sub CPU 206 extracts effect identification information corresponding to the effect image displayed by the effect pattern selected in step S201 from the program ROM 208, performs encoding processing described later, and encodes the effect identification information into a two-dimensional code. (Step S203).

Here, the effect identification information will be described.
FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of the effect identification information table.
In the effect identification information table, URLs as effect identification information corresponding to each of a plurality of types of effect images are stored. For example, the URL “http: //***.***.004.htm” as the effect identification information is associated with the effect “1” (the effect at the time of BB winning).
In step S203, a URL as effect identification information corresponding to the effect pattern selected in step S201 is encoded into a two-dimensional code.

Subsequently, the sub CPU 206 stores the two-dimensional code generated in step S203 in the work RAM 210 (step S204). Next, the sub CPU 206 reads the two-dimensional code display pattern data from the program ROM 208 and supplies it to the display control circuit 250 (step S205).

If it is determined in step S200 that an effect start command has not been received, or if the process of step S205 has been executed, the sub CPU 206 determines whether an end effect command has been received (step S210).
If it is determined that the end effect pattern has not been received, the process proceeds to step S220.
On the other hand, if it is determined that the end effect pattern has been received, in step S211, the sub CPU 206 selects an end effect pattern corresponding to the command from among a plurality of types of end effect patterns stored in the program ROM 208.
The end effect pattern includes various data for causing the liquid crystal display device 5 to display the effect image, such as the type of the effect image and the display period. For example, at the time of BB winning, the end effect pattern for displaying the effect image at the time of BB winning is selected. Further, when a small role winning is selected, an end effect pattern for displaying an effect image at the time of winning the small role is selected.

Next, in step S212, the sub CPU 206 supplies data indicating the end effect pattern to the display control circuit 250.
Subsequently, the sub CPU 206 extracts effect identification information corresponding to the effect image displayed by the effect pattern selected in step S211 from the program ROM 208, performs later-described encoding processing, and codes the effect identification information into a two-dimensional code. (Step S213). For example, if an end effect pattern for displaying an effect image of effect “1” (BB winning effect) is selected in step S211, the sub CPU 206 determines effect “1” (BB winning) in step S213. URL “http: //***.***.004.htm” as effect identification information corresponding to the effect image of “time effect” is encoded into a two-dimensional code.

Subsequently, the sub CPU 206 stores the two-dimensional code generated in step S213 in the work RAM 210 (step S214). Next, the sub CPU 206 reads the two-dimensional code display pattern data from the program ROM 208 and supplies it to the display control circuit 250 (step S215).

If it is determined in step S210 that an end effect command has not been received, or if the process of step S215 has been executed, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not an RB setting command has been received. If it is determined that the RB setting command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S230. On the other hand, when determining that the RB setting command has been received, the sub CPU 206 sets the RB flag in step S221. After performing the process of step S221, the process proceeds to step S230. The RB flag is a flag that is set when the RB starts and cleared when the RB ends.

In step S230, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a BB setting command has been received. If it is determined that the BB setting command has not been received, the process proceeds to step S240. On the other hand, when determining that the BB setting command is received, the sub CPU 206 sets the BB flag in step S231. The BB flag is a flag that is set when the BB starts and cleared when the BB ends. After performing the process of step S231, the process proceeds to step S240.

If it is determined in step S230 that the BB setting command has not been received, or if the process of step S231 has been executed, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not an RB release command has been received (step S240). If it is determined that the RB release command has been received, the RB flag is cleared (step S241).

If it is determined in step S240 that an RB release command has not been received, or if the process of step S241 has been executed, the sub CPU 206 determines whether or not a BB release command has been received (step S250). If it is determined that the BB release command has been received, the BB flag is cleared (step S251), and this subroutine is terminated. If it is determined that the BB release command has not been received, this subroutine is terminated.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of the encoding process that is called and executed in step S203 or step S213 of the subroutine shown in FIG.

First, the sub CPU 206 sets a URL (see FIG. 11) as effect identification information stored in the program ROM 208 in the work RAM 210 (step S400).
In the figure, http: //***.***/.004.htm is shown as an example of a URL as production identification information.

Next, the sub CPU 206 creates a mode identifier in the work RAM 210 according to the character type (for example, numbers, English characters, etc.) of the effect identification information (step S401). Next, the sub CPU 206 creates a character number identifier corresponding to the number of characters in the effect identification information in the work RAM 210 (step S402). Next, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of binarizing the effect identification information (step S403). Next, the sub CPU 206 performs processing for adding a termination pattern to the data obtained in steps S401 to S403 (step S404).

Next, the sub CPU 206 performs code word conversion on the data obtained in step S404 (step S405), and further creates an error correction code word based on the data obtained in step S405, which is obtained in step S405. Is added to the data (step S406). Next, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of binarizing the data obtained in step S406 and arranging the data in a matrix (step S407).
Next, the sub CPU 206 performs a process of masking a predetermined pattern on the data obtained in step S407 (step S408). Next, a process of adding format information including an error correction level and a mask identifier is performed (step S409), and a two-dimensional code is generated (step S410). The generated two-dimensional code is stored in the work RAM 210.
Thereafter, this subroutine is terminated.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a subroutine of display control processing performed in the display control circuit.
The VDP 212 generates a screen image corresponding to various data supplied from the sub CPU 206.
When the VDP 212 does not receive the production pattern data from the sub CPU 206 (step S300: NO), the VDP 212 extracts the demo image from the image data ROM 216 and stores it in the buffer (step S301).

The VDP 212 receives the effect pattern data from the sub CPU 206 (step S300: YES). When the VDP 212 does not receive the end effect pattern data (step S304: NO), the effect image is extracted from the image data ROM 216. And stored in the buffer (step S305).

The VDP 212 receives the effect pattern data supplied from the sub CPU 206 (step S300: YES). When the end effect pattern data is supplied (step S304: YES), the VDP 212 extracts the effect image at the end from the image data ROM 216. And stored in the buffer (step S306).
After executing the processing of step S301, S305, or S306, when the VDP 212 receives the supply of the two-dimensional code display pattern data (step S320: YES), the two-dimensional code is extracted from the work RAM 210 and stored in the buffer. (Step S321).
At this time, the two-dimensional code is stored by being superimposed on the effect image extracted in step S301, S305, or S306 and stored in the buffer.
Thereafter, when it is time to end the display of the two-dimensional code (step S323: YES), the two-dimensional code display pattern data is cleared (step S324).

Next, the screen image is output to the liquid crystal display device 5 at every predetermined timing (for example, every 1/30 seconds) (step S307: YES) (step S308). As a result, the two-dimensional code 92 is displayed on the liquid crystal display device 5 as shown in FIG.
On the other hand, if it is not the predetermined timing (step S307: NO), the process returns to step S307. Thereafter, when the effect has not ended (step S310: NO), the process returns to step S300. On the other hand, when the effect is finished (step S310: YES), the pattern data is cleared (step S311), and the process returns to step S300.

In the present embodiment, a case will be described in which, regardless of the type of effect image, each time an effect image is displayed, a two-dimensional code in which effect identification information corresponding to the effect image is also displayed is displayed. The present invention is not limited to this example. For example, only when an effect image (so-called premium image) with a low display frequency (a rare value) is displayed, a two-dimensional code in which effect identification information corresponding to the effect image is encoded is also displayed. Good.

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing processing performed in the mobile phone and the server. The process shown in FIG. 18 corresponds to the first step of the service in the service providing system (see FIG. 2A).
First, the microcomputer 322 of the mobile phone 300 accesses the server 200 via the Internet by the wireless unit 310 and the transmission / reception antenna 318 based on a predetermined URL (at this time, the terminal identification information of the mobile phone 300 is stored in the server 200). (Step S501), the CPU 201 of the server 200 refers to the mission presentation / achievement status table stored in the hard disk drive 205 based on the received terminal identification information and still transmits it to the mobile phone 300. Condition information (effect identification information) not selected is selected (step S601).

The game-related information corresponding to the number is extracted and transmitted to the mobile phone 300 via the Internet by the communication interface circuit 204 (step S612). At this time, the CPU 201 functions as a transmission unit.

When the microcomputer 322 of the mobile phone 300 receives the game related information from the server 200, the microcomputer 322 stores the game related information in the nonvolatile memory 320 (step S514). As a result, a standby image based on game-related information is displayed on the liquid crystal panel 306 of the mobile phone 300, for example, as shown in FIG.

On the other hand, when the CPU 201 of the server 200 determines that the condition is not satisfied in step S610 (step S611: NO) or when the process of step S612 is executed, the mission presentation / achievement stored in the hard disk drive 205 is performed.
