The router 34 is connected to a telephone line via an ADSL modem 35 and is connected to the Internet line.

When the personal computer terminal 30 is activated by the player and the CPU 38 reads the OS, the OS is activated and an initial screen is displayed on the display 41 via the graphic circuit 40. When the player plays a net-compatible game registered by the user, the CPU 38 accesses the management server device 50 by inputting the registered player ID and password.
The management server device 50 accesses the play data storage area 52c of the arcade game machine in the database 52, and if the unique parameter conversion condition corresponding to the player ID is stored, the condition is read out, and the game association table is read under the read condition. Reference is made to the storage area 52a (see FIG. 4). If the read condition is, for example, the reel rotation number, information on money acquisition in the network game is read, the amount of money that can be acquired in the network game corresponding to the reel rotation number is calculated, and the calculation output is specific to the network game To the personal computer terminal 30. At the same time, the network game server device 60 including the network-compatible game is also accessed, and a download request for the network-compatible game designated by the player is transmitted. Image data of a network compatible game, for example, RPG software is sent, and the image data is stored in the RAM 39 so that the RPG game can be played.
When a network game-specific parameter representing the amount of money as the calculation output is sent, for example, the money possessed by the player in the network game is processed with the data so as to be the amount.

Through the series of operations described above, RPG can be played based on the game data downloaded from the management server device 50. The RPG game displayed on the display 41 can be played by the player operating the keyboard 32 and the mouse.
CPU38 will transmit the data to the management server apparatus 50 as information which instruct | indicates opening of a specific flag at the time of a game or the time of completion | finish of a game, for example, when clearing RPG by RPG play or acquiring an item.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a circuit of the management server device constituting the interlocking system.
The server device 50 includes a CPU 51, a database 52, a communication unit 53, a ROM 54, and a bus 55 for connecting them.

Further, the game association control unit 51a performs game association control such as registration of the player in the linkage system, storage of play data from the medal game machine and the personal computer terminal 30, and processing by referring to the game association table.

The database 52 includes a game association table storage area 52a, a player registration area 52b, an arcade game machine play data storage area 52c, and a net-compatible game machine play data storage area 52d.
Tables 1 and 2 show examples of specific stored contents of the game association table.
Table 1 associates unique parameters to be converted into SNS sites and RPGs with respect to each play data (unique parameter conversion condition in the network game) from the medal game and the crane game. For example, the reel rotation speed from the medal game machine is associated with money acquisition in the RPG game, and the game association control unit 51a uses the predetermined calculation formula to set the reel rotation speed to 50 times based on this association information. If there is, it is calculated that the amount of money acquired in the RPG game is 100 coins, and the information is transmitted to the personal computer terminal playing the RPG game by the communication control unit 51b as an RPG specific parameter.

Table 2 shows the association of the release contents of specific flags to medal games, shooting games, and photo printing machines for each play data (specific flag open conditions in arcade games) from shooting games and games that do not ask any genre. Yes. For example, item acquisition in a game of any genre is associated with enabling a special lottery game of a medal game to be played, and the game association control unit 51a uses a special information in a medal game based on the information of this association. It is converted into a flag release signal that enables the lottery game to be played and transmitted to the medal game machine by the communication control unit 51b.

Table 3 shows an example of stored contents of play data of an arcade play game machine and a net-compatible game machine.
The play data of the arcade game machine and the net-compatible game machine is recorded for each registered player ID. For example, as a play content of a medal game performed by the player ID “0100”, data on a winning percentage of 50% and a medal insertion number of 50 is stored.
Further, game clear and item acquisition data are stored as the play contents of the network game where the player ID is “0250” regardless of genre.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a circuit of the network game server device. A site that supplies a specific network game, for example, an SNS game as an online game, and includes a CPU 65, a database 66, a communication unit 67, and a ROM 68. The ROM 68 stores a program for network game distribution and related data. When the network-compatible game machine 30 makes a request for network game distribution, the network game distribution unit 65a realized by the CPU 65 reading the above program displays the requested network game from the network software storage area 66a of the database 66.

This information is sent to the network game server device 60 and processed by the network game server device 60. In addition, play data in network play (specific flag open condition in an arcade game) is sent from the network compatible game machine 30 to the management server device 50.
In this example, the transmission of the unique parameters and the play data to the network game is performed via the network-compatible game machine 30, but can be performed directly between the management server device 50 and the network game server device 60.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for explaining the outline of the operation of the interlocking system.
First, member registration SA to the player interlocking system is performed, and ID and password registration is performed. After performing the registration process in this way, the net game play SC or the medal game play SE is performed. In the net game play SE, when specific conditions such as game clear and item acquisition are achieved (SD), the specific conditions are sent to the management server device by accessing the management server device (SG). On the other hand, in the medal game play SE, play data SF such as the number of win (win) medals and the number of reel rotations is sent to the management server device (SG). These pieces of information mutually affect the game contents.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the entire system when a game is played on the medal game machine.
The medal game machine 10 is in a standby state (step (hereinafter referred to as “S”) 201). The game control unit 1a of the medal game machine 10 monitors whether or not a coin has been inserted (S202). When a coin is inserted, it is determined whether a card storing the player ID and password is inserted (instead of inserting a card, a password may be input) (S203). When the card is inserted, the player ID and password are read (S204), the management server device is accessed, and the opening condition of the specific flag corresponding to the player ID for the medal game (obtains the right to challenge the jackpot chance game, can play the special lottery game) Etc.) information is sent to the medal game machine 10 (S205).

The medal game machine 10 performs a process of opening a specific flag. This makes it possible to acquire the right to challenge the jackpot chance game and play the special lottery game (S206). When the player inserts a medal and starts the game, a medal game execution process is performed for the medal insertion (S209). Play data generated by the game execution, that is, unique parameter conversion conditions (reel rotation speed, medal insertion number, etc.) in the network game are sent to the management server device (S210).
The game control unit 1a monitors whether or not the game has ended (S211), and the play on the medal game machine ends when the game ends. If the game has not ended, the process returns to S209 to continue the game execution process.

On the other hand, if no card is inserted in S203, the game control unit 1a displays an input image of the password for authentication on the touch panel liquid crystal display unit 18 to prompt the input of the password and for registration when it is not registered yet. ID and password input image are also displayed at the same time, and the touch input content performed by the player is determined (S207). If there is an authentication password input, the process proceeds to S204, where the password is read, and the medal game is followed from S205 to S211.
When the player ID and password are input to the registration image by a touch operation, the registration information is stored in the player registration area 52b of the management server device 50 (S208). After registration, the game execution process proceeds to S209 and becomes a medal game in the flow from 210 to S211. If there is no input and a time-out occurs, it is assumed that the medal game is to be performed without registration, and the process proceeds to a game execution process (S212). In the following, the game end determination is repeatedly performed (S213), and the game ends.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the flow of the entire system when a network game is played on a personal computer terminal.
The network game server device 60 and the management server device 50 are accessed from the personal computer terminal (S301). The management server device 50 determines whether or not the accessed personal computer terminal 30 has been registered (S302). If registered, the personal computer terminal 30 is requested to input a password. In accordance with this request, the password is entered by operating the keys from the personal computer terminal 30 (S303). Thereby, the network game (RPG) is distributed from the network game server device 60 (S304). If there is a unique parameter (avatar wealth, money acquisition in a network game) corresponding to the player ID corresponding to the network software (RPG), the management server device 50 calculates the wealth level and the amount of money and sends it to the personal computer terminal 30. (S307). The personal computer terminal 30 receives the calculated unique parameter and, for example, performs a process of increasing the acquired coins in the RPG game from the amount sent (S308).

  The RPG game is executed by the player operating the keys (S309, S310). If a specific flag open condition (game clear, item acquisition, etc.) occurs as the game progresses, the information is transmitted to the management server device 50 (S311). The management server device 50 stores the specific flag open condition transmitted to the play data storage area 52d of the network-compatible game machine. For each game execution process, the personal computer terminal 30 determines whether or not the game is over (S312). If the game is not finished, the process returns to S309, and the execution process of the RPG game is continued based on the key operation of the player. If the game progresses in this way and the game ends in the determination of S312, the RPG game on the personal computer terminal ends.

  On the other hand, if it is not registered in S302, a screen for prompting registration is displayed, and it is determined whether or not an ID and a password have been input (S305). If an ID and a password are input, registration is performed (S306), the process proceeds to the distribution of the RPG game in S304, and the execution process of the RPG game in S307 to S312 is performed. If the ID and password are not input in S305 and time-out occurs, the network game (RPG) is distributed from the network game server device 60 without registration (S313). The RPG game is executed by the player performing a key operation (S314) (S315). For each RPG game execution process, the personal computer terminal determines whether or not the game is over (S316). If the game is not finished, the process returns to S314, and the execution process of the RPG game is continued based on the key operation. If the game progresses in this way and the game ends in the determination in S316, the RPG game on the personal computer terminal ends.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example in which the content on the network game side is influenced by the play situation on the medal game side.
In (a), if there is a network game in which you place your own avatar and develop your home and town in a fictional world, It becomes income and position, and changes depending on the play situation of the medal game.
If you win the medal game and the number of wins increases and the winning rate increases, the avatar's costumes will become more gorgeous, and the house and town will be fine buildings. On the other hand, if the winning rate falls, the avatar's costumes will be poor, and the house will be poor, such as clay pipes.
(B) shows a case where a specific store, person, item, or the like is purchased in the net game section. In the medal game section, productions and mini-games related to the acquired items appear. A dinosaur image is added to the screen portion of reach 777 as a reach effect.

In the above embodiment, when a medal game is performed as an arcade game machine, an example is described in which a user's recognition is performed by setting a card storing a registered player ID and password in a card insertion unit of the arcade game machine. The present invention can be similarly implemented even when the registered ID and password are input through the operation unit provided in the arcade game machine without issuing a card.
Moreover, although the case where it implemented with the game form of the online game type by a personal computer terminal as a net-compatible game machine was demonstrated, it installs and implements in the net-compatible game with a home game machine and a portable game machine, and HDD in a personal computer terminal. Internet-enabled games can be implemented in the same way.
