In addition, about the structure of the pachinko gaming machine 1 ′, 1 ″, the description of the substantially same structure as the pachinko gaming machine 1 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 2, a pachinko gaming machine (game machine) 1 is roughly divided into a game board (gauge board) 2 constituting a game board surface, and a gaming machine frame (base frame) 3 for supporting and fixing the game board 2. It consists of and. The game board 2 is formed with a substantially circular game area surrounded by guide rails. In this game area, a game ball as a game medium is launched from a predetermined hitting ball launching device and driven.

  A first special symbol display device 4A and a second special symbol display device 4B are provided at predetermined positions of the game board 2 (in the example shown in FIG. 2, on the right side of the game area). Each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B is composed of, for example, 7-segment or dot matrix LEDs (light-emitting diodes) and the like. A special symbol (also referred to as “special symbol”), which is a plurality of types of identification information (special identification information), is displayed in a variable manner (variable display). For example, the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B each variably display a plurality of types of special symbols composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9", symbols indicating "-", and the like. To do. The special symbols displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B are limited to those composed of numbers indicating "0" to "9", symbols indicating "-", and the like. However, for example, a plurality of types of lighting patterns in which the combination of the LED to be turned on and the LED to be turned off in the 7-segment LED may be set in advance as a plurality of types of special symbols.

  A plurality of special symbols are assigned symbol numbers corresponding thereto. As an example, symbol numbers “0” to “9” are assigned to numbers indicating “0” to “9”, and symbol numbers “10” are assigned to symbols indicating “−”. Just do it. Hereinafter, the special symbol variably displayed on the first special symbol display device 4A is also referred to as "first special symbol", and the special symbol variably displayed on the second special symbol display device 4B is also referred to as "second special symbol". .

Note that the type of the first special figure and the type of the second special figure may be the same (for example, a number indicating “0” to “9” and a symbol indicating “−”), and the type may be different. May be different. Further, each of the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B may be configured to variably display numbers (or two-digit symbols) indicating, for example, “00” to “99”. .

  An effect display device 5 is provided near the center of the game area on the game board 2. The effect display device 5 is composed of, for example, an LCD (liquid crystal display device) or the like, and forms a display area for displaying various effect images. In the display area of the effect display device 5, the first special symbol variation display by the first special symbol display device 4 </ b> A and the second special symbol variation display by the second special symbol display device 4 </ b> B in the special symbol game are respectively supported. In the effect symbol display area, which is a plurality of variable display units such as three, for example, the effect symbols that are a plurality of types of identification information (decoration identification information) that can be identified are variably displayed. This variation display of the effect symbol is also included in the variation display game.

  As an example, “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are arranged in the display area of the effect display device 5. And in response to the start of one of the changes in the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B in the special symbol game, In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R, changes in the effect symbols (eg, vertical scroll display) are started. Thereafter, when the confirmed special symbol is stopped and displayed as a variation display result in the special symbol game, in the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” in the effect display device 5. Then, the finalized design symbol (final stop symbol) that is the result of variation display of the production symbol is stopped and displayed.

  As described above, in the display area of the effect display device 5, the special game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A or the special special game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B. In synchronism with the game, a plurality of types of effect symbols that can be identified are displayed in a variable manner, and a definite effect symbol that is a variable display result is derived and displayed (or simply referred to as “derivation”). In addition, for example, deriving and displaying various display symbols such as special symbols and effect symbols is to stop display of identification information such as effect symbols (also referred to as complete stop display or final stop display) and end the variable display. . On the other hand, during the variation display from the start of the variation display of the production symbol to the display of the definite production symbol that is the variation display result, the variation rate of the production symbol becomes “0”, The symbol may be displayed in a stationary state, for example, in a display state that causes slight shaking or expansion / contraction. Such a display state is also called a temporary stop display, and although the display result in the variable display is not deterministically displayed, the player can recognize that the variation of the effect symbol due to the scroll display or the update display is not progressing. It becomes. The temporary stop display may include a complete stop display of the effect symbol for a time shorter than a predetermined time (for example, 1 second) without causing slight shaking or expansion / contraction.

  There are, for example, eight types of symbols (alphanumeric characters “1” to “8” or Chinese characters) that are variably displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. It may be any combination of numbers, English letters, eight character images related to a predetermined motif, a combination of numbers, letters, symbols, and character images. Character images may be, for example, people, animals, other objects, or , A decorative image showing a symbol such as a character or other arbitrary figure). A corresponding symbol number is attached to each of the effect symbols. For example, symbol numbers “1” to “8” are assigned to alphanumeric characters indicating “1” to “8”, respectively. Note that the number of effect symbols is not limited to eight, and may be any number (for example, seven or nine) as long as a suitable number of combinations such as a jackpot combination or a combination that is lost can be configured.

  After the variation display of the effect symbols is started, the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R are displayed until the finalized effect symbols that are the variation display results are derived and displayed. , For example, a scroll display is performed in which the symbol number flows from top to bottom sequentially from the smallest to the largest, and when the effect symbol having the maximum symbol number (for example, “8”) is displayed, The effect symbol having the smallest symbol number (for example, “1”) is displayed. Alternatively, in at least one of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (for example, the “left” effect symbol display area 5L), the symbol number is scrolled from the largest to the smallest, and the symbols are displayed. When the effect symbol having the smallest number is displayed, the effect symbol having the largest symbol number may be displayed.

  In the display area of the effect display device 5, a first reserved memory number display area 5D and a second reserved memory number display area 5U are arranged. In the first reserved memory number display area 5D and the second reserved memory number display area 5U, a hold memory display for displaying the variable display hold number (special figure hold memory number) corresponding to the special figure game is specified. Here, the suspension of the variable display corresponding to the special game is that the game ball passes through the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A and the second starting winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B. Generated based on the start winning by entering (entering). In other words, the start condition (also referred to as “execution condition”) for executing the variable display game such as the special figure game or the variable display of the effect symbol is established, but the variable display game based on the start condition established previously is being executed. When the start condition for allowing the start of the variable display game is not satisfied due to the fact that the pachinko gaming machine 1 is controlled to the big hit gaming state, the variable display corresponding to the established start condition is suspended. Done. The hold memory display in the first hold memory number display area 5D is a hold memory display generated based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) the first start winning opening, and the second hold memory number display area The hold memory display in 5U is a hold memory display generated based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening.

  In this embodiment, the reserved storage display generated based on the start winning due to the game ball passing (entering) through the first starting winning opening is displayed in a round white display (first reserved storage number display area 5D). Hold memory display), and the hold memory display generated based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) the second start winning opening is displayed in a round red display (in the second hold memory number display area 5U) Hold storage display). Note that, based on the start storage prize generated based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) through the first start winning opening, and based on the start winning when the game ball passes (enters) through the second start winning opening. The display mode of the hold storage display generated in this way may be the same mode such as a round white display.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2, together with the first reserved memory number display area 5D and the second reserved memory number display area 5U, the special figure reserved memory number is provided above the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B. A first hold indicator 25A and a second hold indicator 25B are provided for displaying the information in an identifiable manner. The first hold indicator 25A displays the first special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. The second hold indicator 25B displays the second special figure hold memory number so that it can be specified. The number of first special figure hold memory is the number of memory in which the execution of the special figure game using the first special figure is suspended. The second special figure hold memory number is the number of memories in which the execution of the special figure game using the second special figure is suspended. The variable display holding memory number obtained by adding the first special figure holding memory number and the second special figure holding memory number is also referred to as a total holding memory number. When simply referring to the “number of special figure hold memory”, it usually refers to a concept including any of the first special figure hold memory number, the second special figure hold memory number, and the total hold memory number. It may refer to a concept that includes the first special figure reserved memory number and the second special figure reserved memory number but excludes the total reserved memory number).

  Below the effect display device 5, an ordinary winning ball device 6A and an ordinary variable winning ball device 6B are provided. The normal winning ball device 6A forms a first starting winning opening as a starting area (first starting area) that is always kept in a constant open state by a predetermined ball receiving member, for example. The normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B has an electric motor having a pair of movable wing pieces that are changed into a normal open state that is a vertical position and an expanded open state that is a tilt position by a solenoid 81 for a normal electric accessory shown in FIG. A tulip-shaped accessory (ordinary electric accessory) is provided, and a start area (second start area) and a second start winning opening are formed.

  As an example, in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the movable wing piece is in the vertical position when the solenoid 81 for the ordinary electric accessory is in the off state, so that the game ball passes (enters) the second starting winning opening. It is difficult to open normally. On the other hand, in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the game ball passes through the second start winning opening by the tilt control in which the movable blade piece is tilted when the solenoid 81 for the normal electric accessory is in the ON state ( It will be in an expanded open state that is easy to enter. In the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, although the game ball can enter the second start winning opening even in the normal open state, there is a possibility that the game ball may enter more than in the expanded open state. You may comprise so that it may become low. Alternatively, the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B may be configured such that the game ball does not enter the second starting winning opening in the normally open state, for example, by closing the second starting winning opening. In this way, the second start winning port as the second start area is in an expanded open state in which game balls easily pass (enter) and in a normally open state in which game balls are difficult to pass (enter) or cannot pass (enter). To change.

  A game ball that has passed (entered) a first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by, for example, a first start opening switch 22A shown in FIG. A game ball that has passed (entered) a second start winning opening formed in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by, for example, a second start opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the first special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4 ") If the following, the first start condition is satisfied. Based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port 22B, a predetermined number (for example, three) of game balls are paid out as prize balls, and the second special figure holding memory number is set to a predetermined upper limit value (for example, “ 4 ") If the following, the second start condition is satisfied. The number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the first start port switch 22A and the number of prize balls to be paid out based on the detection of the game ball by the second start port switch 22B. May be the same number or different numbers.

  A special variable winning ball device 7 is provided below the normal winning ball device 6A and the normal variable winning ball device 6B. The special variable winning ball apparatus 7 includes a special winning opening door that is opened and closed by a solenoid 82 for the special winning opening door shown in FIG. 3, and the specific region that changes between an open state and a closed state by the special winning opening door. As a big prize opening.

  As an example, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the special prize opening door is in the OFF state, the special prize opening door closes the big winning prize opening, and the game ball passes (enters) the big winning prize opening. Make it impossible. On the other hand, in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, when the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door is in the ON state, the big winning opening door opens the big winning opening and the game ball passes through the big winning opening (entrance). ) Make it easier. In this way, the special winning opening as a specific area changes into an open state in which a game ball easily passes (enters) and is advantageous to the player, and a closed state in which the game ball cannot pass (enters) and is disadvantageous to the player To do. Instead of the closed state where the game ball cannot pass (enter) through the big prize opening, or in addition to the closed state, a partially opened state where the game ball hardly passes (enters) through the big prize port may be provided.

  The game ball that has passed (entered) through the big prize opening is detected by, for example, the count switch 23 shown in FIG. Based on the detection of the game balls by the count switch 23, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of game balls are paid out as prize balls. In this way, when the game ball passes (enters) through the large winning opening opened in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7, the gaming ball passes through other winning openings such as the first starting winning opening and the second starting winning opening, for example. More prize balls are paid out than when passing (entering). Therefore, if the special prize winning ball device 7 is in the open state, the game ball can enter the special prize winning opening, which is a first state advantageous to the player. On the other hand, when the special prize winning device 7 is closed in the special variable prize winning ball device 7, it becomes impossible or difficult for the player to get a prize ball by passing (entering) the gaming ball into the special prize winning port. This is a disadvantageous second state.

  A normal symbol display 20 is provided at a predetermined position of the game board 2 (on the left side of the game area in the example shown in FIG. 2). As an example, the normal symbol display 20 is composed of 7 segments, dot matrix LEDs, and the like, like the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and a plurality of types of identification information different from the special symbols. Is displayed (variable display) so that it can be variably displayed. Such a normal symbol variation display is referred to as a general game (also referred to as a “normal game”).

  Above the normal symbol display 20, a universal figure holding display 25 </ b> C is provided. The general-purpose hold indicator 25C includes, for example, four LEDs, and displays the general-purpose hold storage number as the number of effective passing balls that have passed through the passing gate 41.

  In addition to the above-described configuration, the surface of the game board 2 is provided with a windmill for changing the flow direction and speed of the game ball and a number of obstacle nails. In addition, as a winning opening different from the first starting winning opening, the second starting winning opening, and the large winning opening, for example, a single or plural general winning openings that are always kept in a certain open state by a predetermined ball receiving member are provided. May be. In this case, a predetermined number (for example, 10) of game balls may be paid out as a prize ball based on the fact that a game ball that has entered one of the general prize openings is detected by a predetermined general prize ball switch. In the lowermost part of the game area, there is provided an out port through which game balls that have not entered any winning port are taken.

  Speakers 8L and 8R for reproducing and outputting sound effects and the like are provided at the left and right upper positions of the gaming machine frame 3, and a game effect lamp 9 is provided at the periphery of the game area. A decorative LED may be arranged around each structure (for example, the normal winning ball device 6A, the normal variable winning ball device 6B, the special variable winning ball device 7, etc.) in the game area of the pachinko gaming machine 1. At the lower right position of the gaming machine frame 3, there is provided a hitting operation handle (operation knob) operated by a player or the like to launch a game ball as a game medium toward the game area. For example, the hitting operation handle adjusts the resilience of the game ball according to the operation amount (rotation amount) by the player or the like. The hitting operation handle only needs to be provided with a single shot switch or a touch ring (touch sensor) for stopping the driving of a shooting motor included in the hitting ball shooting device.

  At a predetermined position of the gaming machine frame 3 below the gaming area, a game ball paid out as a prize ball or a game ball lent out by a predetermined ball lending machine is held (stored) so as to be supplied to a ball hitting device. )) Is provided. Below the gaming machine frame 3, there is provided a lower plate that holds (stores) surplus balls overflowing from the upper plate so as to be discharged to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  For example, a stick controller 31A that can be held and tilted by the player is attached to a member that forms the lower plate, for example, at a predetermined position on the front side of the upper surface of the lower plate main body (for example, a central portion of the lower plate). Yes. The stick controller 31A includes an operation stick that the player holds, and a trigger button is provided at a predetermined position of the operation stick (for example, a position where the index finger of the operator is hooked when the player holds the operation stick). Yes. The trigger button can be operated in a predetermined direction by performing a push-pull operation with a predetermined operation finger (for example, an index finger) in a state where the player holds the operation stick of the stick controller 31A with an operation hand (for example, the left hand). What is necessary is just to be comprised. A trigger sensor that detects a predetermined instruction operation such as a push / pull operation on the trigger button may be incorporated in the operation rod.

  A tilt direction sensor unit for detecting a tilting operation with respect to the operating rod may be provided inside the main body of the lower plate below the stick controller 31A. For example, the tilt direction sensor unit includes two transmissive photosensors (parallel sensors) arranged in parallel to the board surface of the game board 2 on the left side of the center position of the operation pole when viewed from the player side facing the pachinko gaming machine 1. And a pair of transmissive photosensors (vertical sensor pairs) arranged perpendicularly to the surface of the game board 2 on the right side of the center position of the operation rod when viewed from the player side. What is necessary is just to be comprised including the photo sensor.

  The member that forms the upper plate includes, for example, a push button 31B that allows a player to perform a predetermined instruction operation by a pressing operation or the like at a predetermined position on the front side of the upper surface of the upper plate body (for example, above the stick controller 31A). Is provided. The push button 31B only needs to be configured to be able to detect a predetermined instruction operation such as a pressing operation from a player mechanically, electrically, or electromagnetically. A push sensor for detecting the player's operation act on the push button 31B may be provided inside the main body of the upper plate at the installation position of the push button 31B.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, the normal symbol display 20 executes a normal symbol variation display such that the game ball that has passed through the passing gate 41 provided in the gaming area is detected by the gate switch 21 shown in FIG. 2. For example, the normal symbol display unit 20 is activated based on the fact that the normal symbol start condition for starting the normal symbol variation display, such as the end of the previous general symbol game, is satisfied after the normal symbol start condition is satisfied. The usual game is started.

  In this ordinary game, after a normal symbol change is started, when a predetermined time which is a normal symbol change time elapses, a fixed normal symbol which is a normal symbol change display result is stopped and displayed (derived display). At this time, if a specific normal symbol (symbol per symbol), such as a number indicating “7”, is stopped and displayed as the fixed normal symbol, the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol becomes “per symbol”. On the other hand, if a normal symbol other than the symbol per symbol, such as a number or symbol other than the number indicating “7”, is stopped and displayed as the fixed ordinary symbol, the fluctuation display result of the normal symbol is “usually lost”. Become. Corresponding to the fact that the variation display result of the normal symbol is “per normal”, the expansion / release control (tilt control) is performed in which the movable wing piece of the electric tulip constituting the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is tilted. The normal opening control is performed to return to the vertical position when a predetermined time has elapsed.

  After the first start condition is satisfied, for example, when the game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A is detected by the first start opening switch 22A shown in FIG. Based on the fact that the first start condition is satisfied, for example, because the previous special figure game or the big hit gaming state has ended, the special figure game by the first special symbol display device 4A is started. Further, the second starting condition is satisfied, for example, when a game ball that has passed (entered) the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by the second starting opening switch 22B shown in FIG. Later, a special game by the second special symbol display device 4B is started based on the fact that the second start condition is satisfied, for example, due to the end of the previous special game or the big hit gaming state.

  In the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, after the special symbol variation display is started, when the variation display time as the special symbol variation time elapses, the special symbol variation display is performed. The resulting definite special symbol (special diagram display result) is derived and displayed. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol, it becomes a “big hit” as the specific display result, and a predetermined special symbol (small bonus symbol) different from the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed. Then, it becomes “small hit” as a predetermined display result. Further, if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol or the small hit symbol is stopped and displayed as the confirmed special symbol, it is “lost”.

  After the fluctuation display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as “round game”) is executed a predetermined number of times. After the variation display result in the special figure game becomes “small hit”, the small hit game state is controlled as a special game state different from the big hit game state.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment, as an example, the special symbol indicating the numbers “6” to “8” is the big hit symbol, the special symbol indicating the number “2” is the small hit symbol, and “−” The special symbol showing the symbol is a lost symbol. It should be noted that each symbol such as a big win symbol, a small bonus symbol, or a lost symbol in the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A is different from each symbol in the special symbol game by the second special symbol display device 4B. Alternatively, a special symbol common to both special symbol games may be a big hit symbol, a small bonus symbol, or a lost symbol.

  After the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a specific symbol in the special game, and the result of the specific display is “big hit”, the big winning door of the special variable winning ball device 7 is in a predetermined upper limit time in the big hit gaming state. The large winning opening is opened in a period until (for example, 29 seconds or 1.0 second) or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of winning balls is generated. Thereby, the round which makes the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 the 1st state (open state) advantageous for a player is performed.

  A special prize-winning ball device that receives a game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2 and then closes the big prize-winning slot, with the grand prize-winning door that has opened the grand prize-winning port during the round. 7 is changed to the second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is completed. The round that is the opening cycle of the big prize opening can be repeatedly executed until the number of executions reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “15” or the like). Even before the number of rounds has reached the upper limit, the execution of the round may be terminated when a predetermined condition is satisfied (for example, a game ball has not won a big prize opening). .

  Of the rounds in the big hit gaming state, the round in which the upper limit time for which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is in the first state (open state) advantageous for the player is relatively long (for example, 29 seconds) is normally opened. Also called round. On the other hand, a round in which the upper limit time for which the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is in the first state (open state) is relatively short (for example, 1.0 second) is also referred to as a short-term open round.

  The special symbol indicating the numbers “6” to “8” that become the big hit symbol is the normal open round big hit symbol. In the big hit game state (normal open big hit state) as the normal open round specific game state controlled after the normal open round big hit symbol is derived as the fixed special symbol in the special figure game, the big winning opening of the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 The door is in the open state in a period until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds) that is the first period elapses or until a predetermined number (for example, 9) of winning balls are generated. By doing so, the round which changes the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 to the 1st state (open state) advantageous to a player is performed. The normal open big hit state is also referred to as a first specific game state.

  In the special bonus game state (short-term open big hit state) as a short-term open round specific gaming state controlled after the short-term open round big hit symbol “5” which is a short-term open round big hit symbol as a definite special symbol in the special figure game is derived, The upper limit time for changing the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 to the first state advantageous to the player in each round (the upper limit of the period during which the big winning opening is opened by the large winning opening door) is the first in the normal opening big hit state. The second period (for example, 1.0 second) is shorter than the period. In the short-term open big hit state, the number of rounds is controlled to be a second round number (eg, “2”) smaller than the first round number (eg, “15”) in the normal open big hit state.

  After the special symbol indicating the number “2” as the small hit symbol is derived as the confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, the small hit gaming state as the special gaming state is controlled. In this small hit game state, similarly to the short-term open big hit state, the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 performs a variable winning operation for changing the big winning opening to the first state (open state) advantageous to the player. That is, in the small hit gaming state, for example, the operation of setting the special variable winning ball device 7 to the first state (open state) over the second period is repeatedly executed.

  In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the effect display device 5, a special game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and In response to the start of any of the special symbol games using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B, the variation display of the effect symbols is started. The period from the start of the variation display of the effect symbols to the end of the variation display due to the stop display of the confirmed effect symbols in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. Then, the variation display state of the effect symbol may be a predetermined reach state.

  Here, the reach state refers to an effect design (“reach variation design”) that has not been stopped yet when the effect design that is stopped and displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5 forms part of the jackpot combination. Is also a display state in which the fluctuation continues, or a display state in which all or part of the design symbols change synchronously while constituting all or part of the jackpot combination. Specifically, a part of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R (for example, “left” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L and 5R, etc.) in advance. The remaining effect symbol display area (for example, “medium” effect) that has not been stopped yet when the effect symbol (for example, the effect symbol indicating the alphanumeric character of “7”) constituting the determined jackpot combination is stopped and displayed. In the symbol display area 5C, etc., the presentation symbol is changing, or the effect symbol is a big hit in all or part of the “left”, “middle”, “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. This is a display state that changes in synchronization while constituting all or part of the combination.

  In response to the reach state, the variation speed of the effect symbol is reduced, or a character image (effect image imitating a person) different from the effect symbol is displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5. Or change the display mode of the background image, play and display a moving image that is different from the production symbol, or change the variation mode of the production symbol, so that the production operation different from before reaching the reach state is executed May be. Such an effect operation such as display of the character image, change of the display mode of the background image, reproduction display of the moving image, and change of the change mode of the effect pattern is referred to as reach effect display (or simply reach effect). In the reach effect, not only the display operation in the effect display device 5, but also the sound output operation by the speakers 8L and 8R, the lighting operation (flashing operation) in the light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9, and the like are in the reach state. An operation mode different from the previous operation mode may be included.

  As an effect operation in the reach effect, a plurality of types of effect patterns (also referred to as “reach patterns”) having different operation modes (reach modes) may be prepared in advance. Each reach mode has a different possibility of “big hit” (also referred to as “reliability” or “big hit reliability”). That is, it is possible to vary the possibility that the variable display result will be a “big hit” depending on which of the multiple types of reach effects is executed. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, reach modes such as normal reach and super reach are set in advance. Then, when the reach form of super reach appears, the possibility that the variable display result will be a “big hit” (expected degree of big hit) is higher than when the reach form of normal reach appears.

  During the variation display of the production symbol, unlike the reach production, there is a possibility that the variation display state of the production symbol will be the reach state, the variation display result may be a `` big hit '', etc. A variation display effect may be executed for notifying the player in accordance with a variation display mode of the effect symbol.

  During the variation display of the effect symbol, for example, by displaying a predetermined effect image, or by performing an effect operation different from the effect symbol variation display operation, such as displaying a message, displaying an image, outputting a sound, or lighting a lamp. The fact that the variable display state of the symbol may become a reach state, the reach effect by super reach may be executed, and the variable display result may be a “hit” A notice effect for informing a person in advance may be executed. The effect operation that becomes the notice effect is the change display state of the effect symbol after the effect symbol change display is started in all of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R. May be executed (started) before the reach state is reached (before the effect symbols are temporarily stopped and displayed in the “left” and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L and 5R). Further, the notice effect that informs that there is a possibility that the variation display result may be a “hit” may include one that is executed after the variation display state of the effect symbol becomes the reach state.

  When a special symbol that becomes a lost symbol is stopped (derived) as a confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, the variation display state of the production symbol does not reach the reach state after the variation display of the production symbol is started. In addition, a definite effect symbol that is a predetermined non-reach combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variation display mode of the effect symbol is referred to as a “non-reach” (also referred to as “normal loss”) variable display mode when the variation display result is “losing”.

  When a special symbol that becomes a lost symbol is stopped (derived) as a confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, the variation display state of the production symbol becomes the reach state after the variation display of the production symbol is started. Correspondingly, after the reach effect is executed, or when the reach effect is not executed, a confirmed effect symbol that becomes a predetermined reach lose combination may be stopped and displayed. Such a variation display result of the effect symbol is referred to as a variation display mode of “reach” (also referred to as “reach lose”) when the variation display result is “losing”.

  When the special big win symbol such as the special symbol indicating the number “8” is stopped and displayed as a special symbol for the special opening game as a special symbol for the open game, the change display state of the effect symbol is displayed. Corresponding to having reached the reach state, after a predetermined reach effect is executed, a definite effect symbol that becomes a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as “non-probable variable big hit combination”) among a plurality of types of big hit combinations Stopped display. The confirmed effect symbol that is normally a big hit combination is, for example, the symbol number that is variably displayed in the “left”, “middle”, and “right” effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R in the effect display device 5. ~ Among the effect symbols of “8”, any one of the effect symbols whose symbol numbers are an even number “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” is “left”, “middle”, “right” What is necessary is just to stop-display all together on a predetermined effective line in each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. The effect symbols having the even number “2”, “4”, “6”, “8” constituting the normal jackpot combination are referred to as normal symbols (also referred to as “non-probable variation symbols”).

  Corresponding to the fact that the confirmed special symbol in the special figure game becomes the normal jackpot symbol, after the predetermined reach effect is executed, the fixed effect symbol of the normal jackpot combination is stopped and displayed. This is referred to as a variation display mode (also referred to as “big hit type”) of “non-probable change” (also referred to as “normal big hit”) when the display result is “big hit”. Based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “big hit” for the “non-probable big hit” type, it is controlled to the normal open big hit state, and after that, as a special gaming state, it is special compared to the normal state. The time is controlled to be in a time-short state in which time-shortening control (short-time control) is performed in which the variable symbol display time (special-image variation time) is shortened in the game. By performing the time reduction control, the special symbol variation display time (special diagram variation time) in the special figure game is easily shortened compared to the normal state. The normal state is a normal game state that is different from a specific game state such as a big hit game state, and is an initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, an initialization process after power-on, such as when a system reset is performed) The same control as in the state in which is executed. In the time-saving control, one of the conditions is established first, that is, a special game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the big hit gaming state is finished, and the fluctuation display result is “big hit”. Sometimes it just needs to end.

  As a confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, among the special symbols that become the normal opening round jackpot symbol, when the probability variable bonus symbol such as the special symbol indicating the number “7” is stopped and displayed, the change display state of the production symbol is Corresponding to the reach state, after the reach effect similar to the case where the variation display mode of the effect symbol is “normal” is executed, the predetermined probable big hit combination is selected from a plurality of types of big hit combinations. The confirmed effect design may be stopped and displayed. The confirmed effect symbol that is a probable big hit combination is, for example, the symbol number that is variably displayed in each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” in the effect display device 5. Among the effect symbols of “8”, any one of the effect symbols whose symbol numbers are odd numbers “1”, “3”, “5”, “7” is “left”, “middle”, “right”. What is necessary is just to stop-display all together on a predetermined effective line in each of the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. An effect symbol having odd number “1”, “3”, “5”, “7” constituting the probability variation jackpot combination is referred to as a probability variation symbol. When the probability variation jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as the confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, the confirmed effect symbol that is a normal jackpot combination may be stopped and displayed as a variation display result of the effect symbol.

  Regardless of whether the confirmed effect symbol is a normal jackpot combination or a promiscuous jackpot combination, the variation display mode in which the probability variation jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game will have a "big hit" variation display result. This is referred to as a variation display mode of “probability variation” (also referred to as “big hit type”). Based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “big hit” for the “big change” big hit type, it is controlled to the normally open big hit state, and after that, the time-shortening control is implemented and the special game different from the time-short state As one of the states, for example, the probability variation state (high probability state) in which the probability variation control (probability variation control) is continuously performed is controlled. By performing the probability variation control, the probability that the fluctuation display result (special display result) becomes “big hit” in each special figure game is improved as compared with the normal state. The probability variation control may be ended when the condition that the fluctuation display result is “big hit” and the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state again after the big hit gaming state is ended.

  When the time-shortening control is performed, the normal symbol display unit 20 controls the normal symbol in the normal symbol game so that the variation time of the normal symbol (ordinary symbol variation time) is shorter than that in the normal state. Control to improve the probability that the display result is “per normal figure” than in the normal state, and tilt control of the movable blade piece in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “per normal figure”. The game ball can easily pass (enter) the second start winning opening, such as a control to make the tilt control time for performing longer than that in the normal state, and a control to increase the number of tilts than in the normal state. Control that is advantageous to the player is performed by increasing the possibility that the start condition is satisfied. In this way, the control that facilitates the entry of the game ball into the second start winning opening in accordance with the time-shortening control and is advantageous to the player is also referred to as high opening control. As the high opening control, any one of these controls may be performed, or a plurality of controls may be performed in combination.

  By performing the high opening control, the frequency at which the second start winning opening becomes the expanded opening state is higher than when the high opening control is not performed. As a result, the second starting condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure in the second special symbol display device 4B can be easily established, and the special figure game can be executed frequently. The time until the fluctuation display result becomes “big hit” is shortened. The period during which the high opening control can be performed is also referred to as a high opening control period, and this period may be the same as the period during which the time reduction control is performed.

  The gaming state in which both the short time control and the high opening control are performed is also referred to as a short time state or a high base state. The gaming state in which the probability variation control is performed is also referred to as a probability variation state or a high probability state. A gaming state in which the time-shortening control or the high opening control is performed together with the probability variation control is also referred to as a high probability high base state. The probability variation state in which only the probability variation control is performed and the short time control or the high opening control is not performed is also referred to as a high probability low base state. It should be noted that only the gaming state in which the time-shortening control or the high opening control is performed together with the probability variation control is sometimes referred to as a “probability variation state”, and may be referred to as a time variation probability variation state in order to be distinguished from the high probability low base state. On the other hand, a probability variation state (high probability low base state) in which only time variation control is performed and time reduction control or high opening control is not performed is sometimes referred to as a time variation probability variation state in order to be distinguished from a high accuracy high base state. The short time state in which the short time control or the high opening control is performed without performing the probability variation control is also referred to as a low probability high base state. The normal state in which neither the probability variation control, the time reduction control nor the high opening control is performed is also referred to as a low probability low base state. When at least one of time-shortening control and probability variation control is performed in a gaming state other than the normal state, the probability that the special-figure game can be executed frequently and the fluctuation display result in each special-figure game will be “big hit” As a result, the player is in an advantageous state. A gaming state advantageous to a player different from the big hit gaming state is also referred to as a special gaming state.

  When a small winning symbol such as a special symbol indicating the number “2” is stopped and displayed as a confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, the change display state of the effect symbol does not become the reach state, but as a chance of opening in advance. Any of a plurality of defined combinations of defined effect symbols may be stopped and displayed. In addition, when the short-term opening round jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed as the confirmed special symbol in the special symbol game, a predetermined reach effect is executed in response to the change display state of the effect symbol being the reach state. After that, a confirmed effect design (a determined effect design that becomes a chance corresponding to the short-term open round big hit state) may be stopped and displayed.

  As a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, the small hit symbol such as a special symbol indicating the number “2” is stopped and the change display result is “small hit”, and the small hit game state is controlled. After that, the game state is not changed, and the game state before the change display result is “small hit” is continuously controlled. However, if the number of executions of the special figure game in the special gaming state has reached the predetermined number when the special figure game whose variation display result is “small hit” is executed, after the end of the small hit gaming state, The special gaming state may end and return to the normal state.

  When the winning prize opening is opened after the finalized design symbol that constitutes the opening chance is derived and displayed as the variation display result of the production symbol, the variation display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “accurate” There are a case where it is controlled to a short hit big hit state based on that, and a case where it is controlled to a small hit gaming state based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “small hit”. On the other hand, the winning winning opening is opened after the definite presentation symbols constituting the reach combination are derived and displayed as the variation display result of the production symbols. The variation display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “surprise” Only when it is controlled to a short-term open big hit state. Therefore, while the confirmed effect symbol constituting the opening chance corresponds to being controlled to either the short-term open big hit state or the small hit game state, the fixed combination symbol of the reach combination is the short-term open big hit state It corresponds to being controlled by.

  A re-lottery effect may be executed during the variation display of the effect symbol in which the confirmed effect symbol is a non-probable variation jackpot combination or a probability variation jackpot combination. In the re-lottery effect, after the effect symbols that are usually a big hit combination are temporarily displayed in the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the “left”, “middle”, and “right” in the effect display device 5, for example, “left ”,“ Medium ”,“ Right ”effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R with the same effect symbols in the same state, the symbols are changed again, and the effect symbol (probability variation symbol) that is a combination of probability variation jackpot and normal jackpot One of the effect symbols (normal symbols) to be combined is stopped and displayed as a final effect symbol (final stop display). Here, when the re-lottery effect is executed when the big hit type is “non-probable change”, as the re-lottery effect, the confirmed effect symbol that becomes the normal jackpot combination after re-changing the temporarily stopped effect symbol A re-lottery selection effect for deriving and displaying is performed. On the other hand, when the re-lottery effect is executed when the big hit type is “probable change”, as the re-lottery effect, the rendition effect is a confirmed effect that becomes a promiscuous big hit combination after re-changing the temporarily stopped display design. A re-lottery winning effect that stops and displays a symbol may be executed, or a re-lottery winning effect may be executed.

  After the definite effect symbol that is normally a big hit combination is derived and displayed, the next round starts after one round ends in the big hit gaming state at the start of the big hit gaming state or during the round in the big hit gaming state During the jackpot that will be a probable change notification effect whether or not to control to the probable change state, such as the period until the next variable display game starts after the last round in the big hit game state A promotion effect may be executed. A notification effect similar to the jackpot promotion effect may be executed during the first variable display game after the end of the jackpot gaming state. The jackpot promotion effect that is executed after the last round in the jackpot game state is particularly called “ending promotion effect”.

  The jackpot promotion effect includes a jackpot promotion promotion effect that informs that there is a promotion in which the game state becomes a probable change state despite the fact that the confirmed effect symbol is a normal jackpot combination, and that there is no promotion that becomes a probable change state There is a promotion promotion failure during the jackpot to be notified. For example, in the jackpot promotion effect, the effect symbol is variably displayed in the display area of the effect display device 5, and either the normal symbol or the probability variation symbol is stopped and displayed as the effect display result, or the effect symbol variation display is performed. May be notified so that the player can recognize the presence or absence of promotion to be in a certain change state by displaying different effect images.

The display of fluctuation of a predetermined display pattern such as controlling the fluctuation display of the normal symbol display 20 or controlling the fluctuation display of the normal symbol by the normal symbol display 20 by controlling the lighting / extinction / coloring control of the normal symbol display 20 is performed. It also has a function to control.

  The main board 11 includes, for example, a game control microcomputer 100, a switch circuit 110 that receives detection signals from various switches for game ball detection and transmits the detection signals to the game control microcomputer 100, and the game control microcomputer 100. A solenoid circuit 111 for transmitting a solenoid drive signal to the solenoids 81 and 82 is mounted.

  The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, receives a control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15, and produces the effect display device 5, speakers 8L, 8R. In addition, various circuits for controlling the production operation by the production electrical parts such as the game effect lamp 9 are mounted. In other words, the effect control board 12 provides effects such as display operations on the effect display device 5, all or part of sound output operations from the speakers 8L and 8R, and all or part of lighting / extinguishing operations on the game effect lamp 9 and the like. A function of determining the control content for causing the electrical component to execute a predetermined performance operation is provided.

  The sound control board 13 is a control board for sound output control provided separately from the effect control board 12, and outputs sound from the speakers 8L and 8R based on commands and control data from the effect control board 12. For example, a processing circuit for executing audio signal processing is mounted. The lamp control board 14 is a control board for lamp output control provided separately from the effect control board 12, and is turned on / off in the game effect lamp 9 and the like based on commands and control data from the effect control board 12. A lamp driver circuit for driving is mounted.

  As shown in FIG. 3, wiring for transmitting detection signals from the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22 </ b> A, the second start port switch 22 </ b> B, and the count switch 23 is connected to the main board 11. The gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port switch 22B, and the count switch 23 have an arbitrary configuration that can detect a game ball as a game medium, such as a sensor. What is necessary is just to have. In addition, the main board 11 includes a first special symbol display device 4A, a second special symbol display device 4B, a normal symbol display device 20, a first hold display device 25A, a second hold display device 25B, and a general drawing hold display device 25C. Wiring for transmitting a command signal for performing display control such as is connected.

  A control signal transmitted from the main board 11 toward the effect control board 12 is relayed by the relay board 15. The control command transmitted from the main board 11 to the effect control board 12 via the relay board 15 is, for example, an effect control command transmitted and received as an electric signal. The effect control command includes, for example, a display control command used for controlling an image display operation in the effect display device 5, a sound control command used for controlling sound output from the speakers 8L and 8R, and a game effect lamp 9. And a lamp control command used for controlling the lighting operation of the decoration LED and the like.

  The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main board 11 is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer, and includes a ROM (Read Only Memory) 101 for storing a game control program, fixed data, and the like, and a game control work. A RAM (Random Access Memory) 102 that provides an area, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 103 that executes a control program by executing a game control program, and updates numeric data indicating random values independently of the CPU 103 A random number circuit 104 to perform and an I / O (Input / Output port) 105 are provided.

  As an example, in the game control microcomputer 100, a process for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is executed by the CPU 103 executing a program read from the ROM 101. At this time, the CPU 103 reads fixed data from the ROM 101, the CPU 103 writes various fluctuation data to the RAM 102 and temporarily stores the fluctuation data, and the CPU 103 temporarily stores the various fluctuation data. The CPU 103 receives the input of various signals from outside the game control microcomputer 100 via the I / O 105, and the CPU 103 goes outside the game control microcomputer 100 via the I / O 105. A transmission operation for outputting various signals is also performed.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory view illustrating random numbers counted on the main board 11 side. As shown in FIG. 4, in this embodiment, on the side of the main board 11, a random value MR1 for special figure display result determination, a random value MR2 for jackpot type determination, a random value MR3 for variation pattern type determination, Numerical data indicating the random number value MR4 for determining the variation pattern and the random number value MR5 for determining the normal display result are controlled to be countable. In addition, in order to improve a game effect, random numbers other than these may be used. Such random numbers used to control the progress of the game are also referred to as game random numbers.

  The random number circuit 104 only needs to count numerical data indicating some or all of these random number values MR1 to MR5. The CPU 103 uses a random counter different from the random number circuit 104, such as a random counter provided in a game control counter setting unit (not shown), and updates various numerical data by software so that one of the random values MR1 to MR5. Numerical data indicating a part may be counted.

  The random number MR1 for determining the special figure display result indicates whether or not the variable display result of the special symbol or the like in the special figure game is controlled as a big hit game state, and whether or not the variable display result is the “small hit”. This is a random value used to determine whether or not to control the gaming state, and takes a value in the range of “1” to “65535”, for example. For the jackpot type determination random number MR2, the jackpot type, which is the variation display mode of the effect design when the fluctuation display result is “big hit”, is determined as “non-probable change”, “probability change”, or “surprise change”. For example, a value in the range of “1” to “100”.

  The random value MR3 for determining the variation pattern type is a random value used for determining the mode of variation display of the variation pattern, and takes a value in the range of “1” to “251”, for example. The random number value MR4 for determining the variation pattern is a random number value used for determining the variation pattern in the variation display of the special symbol or the effect symbol as one of a plurality of types prepared in advance, for example, “1” to “ It takes a value in the range of “997”. The random value MR5 for determining the normal figure display result is used to determine whether the fluctuation display result in the normal figure game by the normal symbol display 20 is "per normal figure" or "missing the normal figure". For example, a value in the range of “1” to “256”.

  In addition to the game control program, the ROM 101 included in the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 3 stores various selection data and table data used for controlling the progress of the game. . For example, the ROM 101 stores data constituting a plurality of determination tables, determination tables, setting tables and the like prepared for the CPU 103 to perform various determinations, determinations, and settings. Further, the ROM 101 includes table data constituting a plurality of command tables used for the CPU 103 to transmit control signals serving as various control commands from the main board 11 and a variation pattern table storing a plurality of types of variation patterns. Table data to be stored is stored.

  FIG. 5 shows a configuration example of a special figure display result determination table stored in the ROM 101. In this embodiment, a special figure display result determination table shown in FIG. 5 is prepared in advance as a special figure display result determination table. The special figure display result determination table is a variable display result in the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A and the special figure game using the first special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B. Before the definite special symbol is derived and displayed, whether or not the variable display result is controlled as a big hit gaming state as a “big hit” and whether the variable display result is controlled as a small hit gaming state as a “small hit” It is a table referred to in order to determine whether or not based on a random number MR1 for determining a special figure display result.

  In the special figure display result determination table, the table data indicating the determination value to be compared with the random value MR1 for determining the special figure display result is determined as to whether or not the special figure display result is controlled as the big hit gaming state by setting the special figure display result as “big hit”. This is data for determination assigned to the result. In the special figure display result judgment table, when the gaming state is in the probable change state (high probability state), more judgment values than in the normal state or in the short time state (low probability state) Assigned to display results. As a result, in the probability variation state (high probability state) in which the probability variation control is performed in the pachinko gaming machine 1, the special figure display result is “big hit” compared to the normal state or the short time state (low probability state). The probability that it is determined that the state is controlled increases. That is, in the special figure display result determination table, when the gaming state in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is a probable variation state, the probability that it will be determined to control to the big hit gaming state is higher than that in the normal state or the short time state. In addition, the determination data is assigned to the determination result as to whether or not to control the big hit gaming state.

  In this embodiment, in the special figure display result determination table, in the normal state (low probability low base state) or the short time state (low accuracy high base state), the range of 8000-8189 of the random number MR1 is assigned to the big hit. The range of 30000-30350 of the random number value MR1 is assigned per small hit, and the other range of the random number MR1 is assigned out of place. In the special figure display result determination table, in the probability variation state (high probability low base state, high probability high base state), the range of 8000 to 9899 of the random value MR1 is assigned to the jackpot, and the random value MR1 of 30000 to The range of 30350 is assigned to the small hit, and the other range of the random number MR1 is assigned to the outside.

  FIG. 6 shows a configuration example of the jackpot type determination table stored in the ROM 101. The jackpot type determination table determines whether the jackpot type is one of a plurality of types based on the random value MR2 for determining the jackpot type when it is determined that the special figure display result is “big hit” and the game state is controlled to the jackpot game state. It is a table that is referred to. In the big hit type determination table, the special symbol on which the variable display is performed in the special symbol game is the first special symbol (the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A) or the second special symbol (the second special symbol display device). Depending on whether it is a special game by 4B), the numerical value (determination value) compared with the random value MR2 for determining the big hit type is a plurality of types of big hit types such as "non-probability change", "probability change", "surprise change" Assigned to.

  Here, the jackpot types “non-probability variation”, “probability variation”, and “crash probability” that occur in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, the jackpot of “probability change” is controlled to a 15-round jackpot gaming state, and after the jackpot gaming state ends, the jackpot probability is high until the next jackpot is won, and a special probability is achieved. The high opening control in which the opening time of the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is increased and the number of times of opening is increased until the figure game is executed a predetermined number of times or until the big win is won during the execution of the predetermined number of special figure games. Is done. That is, when the big hit type is “probability change”, after the big hit game is finished, until the special game is executed a predetermined number of times, the high probability high base state is controlled, and after the predetermined time, the high probability low base state is controlled.

  “Non-probability change” is controlled to a five-round jackpot gaming state, and after the jackpot gaming state is finished, the opening time of the normally variable winning ball apparatus 6B is increased in the low probability state where the jackpot probability is low and the number of times of opening. The high opening control is performed to increase the value. In other words, when the big hit type is “non-probable change”, the low probability high base state is controlled after the big hit game ends. This high base state continues until the special game is executed a predetermined number of times or until a big win is won during the execution of the predetermined special game.

  It should be noted that “surprise” is controlled to a two-round jackpot gaming state, and after the jackpot gaming state is ended, the jackpot probability is high until the next jackpot is won, but the high opening control is not performed. That is, when the big hit type is “surprise”, the high probability low base state is controlled after the big hit game ends.

  In this jackpot type determination table, as shown in FIG. 6, when the special figure whose special figure display result is “big hit” is the first special figure, the range of the random number MR2 from 1 to 36 is “non-probable change”. 37 to 82 of the random number value MR2 are assigned to “probability change”, and 83 to 100 of the random number value MR2 are assigned to “probability”. Also, when the special figure whose special figure display result is “big hit” is the second special figure, the range of 1 to 36 of the random value MR2 is assigned to “non-probability”, and the random value MR2 of 37 to 100 is assigned. Is assigned to “Probability”.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the assignment of the determination value to the big hit type of “surprise” differs depending on whether the variation special chart is the first special chart or the second special chart. That is, when the fluctuation special chart is the first special figure, a predetermined range of judgment values (values in the range of “83” to “100”) are assigned to the “surprise” jackpot type, while the fluctuation special figure Is the second special figure, no determination value is assigned to the big hit type of “surprise”. With such a setting, the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the first start condition for starting the special figure game using the first special figure by the first special symbol display device 4A is satisfied. And a case where the jackpot type is determined to be one of a plurality of types based on the fact that the second start condition for starting the special figure game using the second special figure by the second special symbol display device 4B is satisfied. Thus, the ratio of determining the big hit type as “surprising” can be varied. In particular, in the special figure game using the second special figure, it is not determined that the big hit type is “surprise” and controlled to the two round big hit state. In the gaming state where the game ball is likely to enter the second starting port formed by the variable winning ball device 6B, the frequent play of the two round big hit state in which it is difficult to obtain the prize ball is avoided, and the gaming interest is reduced due to the extended game. Can be prevented.

  Even when the fluctuation special chart is the second special figure, a determination value in a predetermined range different from the case where the fluctuation special figure is the first special figure may be assigned to the big hit type of “surprise”. Good. For example, when the fluctuation special chart is the second special figure, a smaller determination value may be assigned to the “surprise” jackpot type than when the fluctuation special chart is the first special figure. Alternatively, regardless of whether the variation special chart is the first special chart or the second special chart, the jackpot type may be determined with reference to the common table data.

  The I / O 105 included in the game control microcomputer 100 shown in FIG. 3 has an input port for receiving various signals transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100, and various signals to the outside of the game control microcomputer 100. And an output port for transmission.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the effect control board 12 is provided with an effect control CPU 120 that performs a control operation according to a program, a ROM 121 that stores an effect control program, fixed data, and the like, and a work area for the effect control CPU 120. Random number which updates the numerical data which shows the random value independently of RAM122 which performs, the display control part 123 which performs the process for determining the control content of the display operation in the production | presentation display apparatus 5, and CPU120 for production control A circuit 124 and an I / O 125 are mounted.

  As an example, in the effect control board 12, when the effect control CPU 120 executes an effect control program read from the ROM 121, a process for controlling the effect operation by the effect electric component is executed. At this time, the effect control CPU 120 reads the fixed data from the ROM 121, the effect control CPU 120 writes the various data to the RAM 122 and temporarily stores the data, and the effect control CPU 120 stores the effect data in the RAM 122. Fluctuation data reading operation for reading out various fluctuation data temporarily stored, the reception control CPU 120 for receiving the input of various signals from the outside of the presentation control board 12 via the I / O 125, and the presentation control CPU 120 for I / O A transmission operation for outputting various signals to the outside of the effect control board 12 via O125 is also performed.

  The effect control CPU 120, the ROM 121, and the RAM 122 may be included in a one-chip effect control microcomputer mounted on the effect control board 12.

  The effect control board 12 has wiring for transmitting a video signal to the effect display device 5, wiring for transmitting a sound effect signal as an information signal indicating sound number data to the sound control board 13, Wiring for transmitting an electrical decoration signal as an information signal indicating lamp data is connected to the lamp control board 14. Furthermore, on the effect control board 12, wiring for transmitting from the controller sensor unit 35A an operation detection signal as an information signal indicating that the player's operation action on the stick controller 31A has been detected, and a game for the push button 31B. Wiring for transmitting from the push sensor 35B an operation detection signal as an information signal indicating that the user's operation action has been detected is also connected.

  On the effect control board 12, for example, the random number circuit 124 or the like counts the numerical data indicating various random values used for controlling the effect operation so as to be updatable. The random number used for controlling such a production operation is also called a production random number.

  In addition to the effect control program, the ROM 121 mounted on the effect control board 12 shown in FIG. 3 stores various data tables used for controlling the effect operation. For example, the ROM 121 includes a plurality of determination tables prepared for the effect control CPU 120 to perform various determinations, determinations, and settings, table data configuring the determination table, pattern data configuring various effect control patterns, and the like. It is remembered.

  As an example, in the ROM 121, the effect control CPU 120 controls effect operations by various effect devices (for example, the effect display device 5, the speakers 8L and 8R, the game effect lamp 9, the decoration LED, the effect model, etc.). An effect control pattern table storing a plurality of types of effect control patterns to be used is stored. The effect control pattern is composed of data indicating the control contents corresponding to various effect operations executed in accordance with the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1. The effect control pattern table only needs to store, for example, an effect control pattern when a special figure changes, a notice effect control pattern, and various effect control patterns.

  The special-control variation production control pattern corresponds to a plurality of types of variation patterns in the period from the start of the variation of the special symbol in the special-sign game until the finalized special symbol that is the special-sign display result is derived and displayed. It consists of data indicating the contents of control of various effect operations, such as effect display operations in effect symbol variation display operation, reach effect, re-lottery effect, etc., or various effect display operations not accompanied by effect symbol variation display Has been. The various effect control patterns are composed of data indicating the control contents corresponding to various effect operations executed in accordance with the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

  In the special-figure variation production control pattern, for example, a plurality of types of reach production control patterns with different production modes in each reach production may be included for each variation pattern that executes the reach production.

  Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment will be described.

  In the main board 11, when power supply from a predetermined power supply board is started, the game control microcomputer 100 is activated, and the CPU 103 executes a predetermined process as a game control main process. When the game control main process is started, the CPU 103 performs necessary initial settings after setting the interrupt disabled. In this initial setting, for example, the RAM 101 is cleared. Also, register setting of a CTC (counter / timer circuit) built in the game control microcomputer 100 is performed. Thereby, thereafter, an interrupt request signal is sent from the CTC to the CPU 103 every predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds), and the CPU 103 can periodically execute timer interrupt processing. When the initial setting is completed, an interrupt is permitted and then loop processing is started. In the game control main process, a process for returning the internal state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 to the state at the time of the previous power supply stop may be executed before entering the loop process.

  When the CPU 103 executing such a game control main process receives an interrupt request signal from the CTC and receives an interrupt request, it executes a game control timer interrupt process shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the game control timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 7 is started, the CPU 103 first executes a predetermined switch process, thereby the gate switch 21, the first start port switch 22A, the second start port through the switch circuit 110. The state of detection signals input from various switches such as the switch 22B and the count switch 23 is determined (step S11). Subsequently, by executing predetermined main-side error processing, abnormality diagnosis of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is performed, and if necessary, a warning can be generated according to the diagnosis result (step S12). After that, by executing a predetermined information output process, for example, data such as jackpot information, starting information, probability variation information supplied to a hall management computer installed outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 is output (step) S13).

  Following the information output process, a game random number update process for updating at least a part of the game random numbers such as random number values MR1 to MR5 used on the main board 11 side by software is executed (step S14). Thereafter, the CPU 103 executes special symbol process processing (step S15). In the special symbol process, the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol is processed. Various processes are selected in order to perform control of display operation in the display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B and setting of opening / closing operation of the big prize opening in the special variable winning ball device 7 in a predetermined procedure. Executed.

  Following the special symbol process, the normal symbol process is executed (step S16). The CPU 103 controls the display operation (for example, turning on / off the segment LED, etc.) on the normal symbol display 20 by executing the normal symbol process, so that the variable display of the normal symbol and the movable in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B are possible. Enables setting of the tilting movement of the blade.

  After executing the normal symbol process, the CPU 103 executes a command control process to control sub-sides such as a payout control board (not shown) for controlling the effect control board 12 and the payout of prize balls from the main board 11. A control command is transmitted to the substrate (step S17). As an example, in the command control process, it is included in the I / O 105 corresponding to the setting in the command transmission table specified by the value of the transmission command buffer provided in the game control buffer setting unit stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 102. After setting control data in the output port for transmitting the effect control command to the effect control board 12 among the output ports to be output, the predetermined control data is set in the output port of the effect control INT signal. An effect control command can be transmitted based on the setting in the command transmission table, for example, by turning the signal on for a predetermined time and then turning it off. After executing the command control process, after setting the interrupt enabled state, the game control timer interrupt process is terminated.

  Further, as an example, in the command control process, a game ball that has passed (entered) the first start winning opening formed by the normal winning ball apparatus 6A with respect to the payout control board is detected by the first start opening switch 22A, and the start winning prize is obtained. A game ball that has passed (entered) a second start winning opening formed by the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is detected by the second start opening switch 22B, and a start winning (second start) Based on the occurrence of a (winning) or a game ball that has passed (entered) a large winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 and has been detected by the count switch 23 to generate a big winning, to each winning opening A payout ball number designation command for notifying the number of payout balls according to the winning is sent.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the process executed in step S15 shown in FIG. 7 as the special symbol process. In this special symbol process, the CPU 103 first executes a start winning determination process (step S101).

  After executing the start winning determination process in step S101 in FIG. 8, the CPU 103 selects one of the processes in steps S110 to S120 according to the value of the special figure process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit. And run.

  The special symbol normal process in step S110 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “0”. In the special symbol normal process, the first special symbol display device 4A or the like is based on the presence / absence of reserved data stored in the first special symbol storage unit or the second special diagram storage unit stored in the RAM 102. It is determined whether or not the special symbol game is started by the second special symbol display device 4B. Further, in the special symbol normal process, whether or not the variation display result of the special symbol or the effect symbol is “big hit” or “small hit” based on the numerical data indicating the random value MR1 for the special symbol display result determination, A determination (predetermined) is made before the fluctuation display result is derived and displayed. Further, in the special symbol normal process, in response to the special symbol variation display result in the special symbol game, the confirmed special symbol (big hit symbol or Either a small hit symbol or a lost symbol) is set. In the special symbol normal process, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “1” when the variation display result of the special symbol or the effect symbol is determined in advance.

  The variation pattern setting process in step S111 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “1”. In this variation pattern setting process, a random value MR4 for variation pattern determination is obtained based on a prior determination result on whether the variation display result is “big hit” or “small hit”, the total number of reserved memories, the game state, and the like. A process of determining a variation pattern as one of a plurality of types using the numerical data shown is included. When the variation pattern setting process is executed and the variation display of the special symbol is started, the value of the special diagram process flag is updated to “2”.

  Through the special symbol normal process in step S110 and the variation pattern setting process in step S111, a variation pattern including the variation display time of the confirmed special symbol, the special symbol, and the effect symbol as the variation display result of the special symbol is determined. That is, the special symbol normal processing and the variation pattern setting processing are performed as follows. It includes processing for determining the variation display mode of special symbols and effect symbols using MR4.

  The special symbol variation process of step S112 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “2”. The special symbol variation process includes a process for performing setting for varying the special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A and the second special symbol display device 4B, and an elapsed time after the special symbol starts to vary. It includes processing to measure For example, each time the special symbol variation process in step S112 is executed, the special diagram variation timer value which is a stored value in the special diagram variation timer provided in the game control timer setting unit stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 102 is set to 1. Whether the game is a special game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A by subtracting or adding 1 or a special game using the second special symbol in the second special symbol display device 4B Regardless, the elapsed time is measured by a common timer. Further, it is also determined whether or not the measured elapsed time has reached a special figure fluctuation time corresponding to the fluctuation pattern. As described above, the special symbol variation process in step S112 is performed in the special symbol variation in the special symbol game using the first special symbol in the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B in the second special symbol display device 4B. It suffices if it is a process for controlling the variation of the special symbol in the special figure game using the figure by a common processing routine. When the elapsed time since the start of the special symbol variation reaches the special symbol variation time, the value of the special symbol process flag is updated to “3”.

  The special symbol stop process in step S113 is executed when the value of the special symbol process flag is “3”. In this special symbol stop process, the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B stops the variation of the special symbol, and the definite special symbol resulting from the variation display of the special symbol is stopped and displayed (derived). A process for performing the setting is included. Then, it is determined whether or not the jackpot flag provided in the game control flag setting unit is on. If the jackpot flag is on, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “4”. Is done. On the other hand, when the big hit flag is off and the small hit flag is on, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “8”. When both the big hit flag and the small hit flag are off, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”.

  The big hit release pre-processing in step S114 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “4”. This pre-opening process for the big hit is based on the fact that the fluctuation display result is “big hit” and the like, for example, a process for starting the execution of the round in the big hit gaming state and setting the big winning opening to the open state. include. In this case, for example, the upper limit of the period during which the big winning opening is opened may be set in accordance with whether the big hit type is “non-probability change”, “probability change”, or “surprise change”. For example, in response to the big hit type of “non-probability change” or “probability change”, the upper limit of the period during which the big winning opening is opened is set to “29 seconds” and the upper prize is set to the upper limit number of times to execute the round. By setting the number of times of opening the mouth to “15 times”, it is only necessary to set the normal open big hit state. On the other hand, corresponding to the big hit type “surprise”, the upper limit of the period during which the big winning opening is opened is set to “1.0 second”, and the number of opening of the big winning opening that becomes the upper limit number of times to execute the round is set. By setting “2” to “2 times”, it is sufficient that the short-term open big hit state is set. At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”.

  The big hit release processing in step S115 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is "5". In the big hit opening process, the winning prize opening is based on the process of measuring the elapsed time since the big winning opening is in the open state, the measured elapsed time, the number of game balls detected by the count switch 23, and the like. The process etc. which determine whether it became the timing which returns to a closed state from an open state are included. Then, when returning the special winning opening to the closed state, after performing processing for stopping the supply of the solenoid driving signal to the special winning opening door solenoid 82, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “6”. .

  The big hit release post-processing in step S116 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “6”. In this post-hit opening process, the process of determining whether or not the number of rounds in which the winning opening is open has reached the maximum number of opening of the big winning opening, or the maximum number of opening of the big winning opening has been reached. In some cases, processing for setting to transmit a jackpot end designation command is included. When the number of round executions has not reached the maximum value of the number of times of winning the special winning opening, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “5”. The value of the process flag is updated to “7”.

  The big hit end process in step S117 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “7”. In this jackpot end process, a waiting time corresponding to a period in which an ending effect as an effect operation for notifying the end of the big hit gaming state is executed by the effect display device 5, the speakers 8L, 8R, the game effect lamp 9, or the like. A process of waiting until time elapses, a process of performing various settings for starting the probability variation control and the time reduction control in response to the end of the big hit gaming state, and the like are included. When such setting is performed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”.

  The small hit pre-release process in step S118 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “8”. The pre-opening process for small hits includes a process for setting the big winning opening to be in an open state in the small hit gaming state based on the fact that the change display result is “small hit”. As an example, when the fluctuation display result is “small hit”, the upper limit of the period during which the big winning opening is opened is the same as when the fluctuation display result is “big hit” and the big hit type is “surprise”. It is only necessary to set the game state to be a small hit game state by setting “1.0 second” and setting the number of times of opening the big winning opening to “2”. At this time, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “9”.

  The small hit releasing process in step S119 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “9”. In the small hit opening process, the process for measuring the elapsed time since the big prize opening is in the open state, and the timing for returning the big prize opening from the open state to the closed state based on the measured elapsed time, etc. The process etc. which determine whether or not were included are included. When returning the big prize opening to the closed state, a process for stopping the supply of the drive signal to the solenoid 82 for the big prize opening door may be executed.

  The small hit end process of step S120 is executed when the value of the special figure process flag is “10”. In this small hit end process, there is a waiting time corresponding to a period during which the effect operation for informing the end of the small hit gaming state is performed by the effect display device 5, the speakers 8L, 8R, the game effect lamp 9, and the like. Processing that waits until the time has passed is included. Here, when the small hit gaming state is finished, the state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 before the small hit gaming state is continued without changing the state of the probability change flag and the short time flag. When the waiting time at the end of the small hit gaming state has elapsed, the value of the special figure process flag is updated to “0”.

  Next, the operation in the effect control board 12 will be described.

  In the effect control board 12, when the supply of the power supply voltage is received from the power supply board or the like, the effect control CPU 120 is activated and executes the effect control main process as shown in the flowchart of FIG. When the effect control main process shown in FIG. 9 is started, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a predetermined initialization process (step S701), clears the RAM 122, sets various initial values, and sets the effect control board 12. Performs register settings for the mounted CTC (counter / timer circuit). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the timer interrupt flag is on (step S702). The timer interrupt flag is set to the ON state every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 milliseconds) elapses based on, for example, the CTC register setting. At this time, if the timer interrupt flag is off (step S702; No), the process of step S72 is repeatedly executed and the process waits.

  On the side of the effect control board 12, an interrupt for receiving an effect control command from the main board 11 is generated separately from the timer interrupt that occurs every time a predetermined time elapses. This interruption is generated when, for example, an effect control INT signal from the main board 11 is turned on. When an interruption due to the turn-on of the effect control INT signal occurs, the effect control CPU 120 automatically sets the interrupt prohibition, but if a CPU that does not automatically enter the interrupt disable state is used, the interrupt is interrupted. It is desirable to issue a prohibition instruction (DI instruction). The effect control CPU 120 executes, for example, a predetermined command reception interrupt process in response to an interrupt when the effect control INT signal is turned on. In this command reception interrupt process, a control signal that becomes an effect control command from a predetermined input port that receives a control signal transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15 among the input ports included in the I / O 125. Capture. The effect control command captured at this time is stored, for example, in an effect control command reception buffer provided in an effect control buffer setting unit stored in a predetermined area of the RAM 122. As an example, when the production control command has a 2-byte configuration, the first byte (MODE) and the second byte (EXT) are sequentially received and stored in the production control command reception buffer. Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 ends the command reception interrupt processing after setting the interrupt permission.

  If the timer interrupt flag is on in step S702 (step S702; Yes), the timer interrupt flag is cleared and turned off (step S703), and command analysis processing is executed (step S704). In the command analysis process executed in step S704, for example, after reading various effect control commands transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 of the main board 11 and stored in the effect control command reception buffer, the reading is performed. Settings and control corresponding to the issued effect control command are performed.

  After executing the command analysis process in step S704, an effect control process process is executed (step S705). In the effect control process in step S705, for example, an effect image display operation in the display area of the effect display device 5, a sound output operation from the speakers 8L and 8R, a lighting operation in a decorative light emitter such as the game effect lamp 9 and a decoration LED, With respect to the control contents of the rendering operation using various rendering devices such as the driving operation in the rendering model, determination, determination, setting, and the like are performed according to the rendering control command transmitted from the main board 11 and the like. Next, a random number update process for updating a count value of a counter for generating a random number such as a jackpot symbol determining random number is executed (step S706), and a menu process for displaying the menu screen shown in FIG. S707), a password acceptance process for accepting a password in accordance with the selection of the menu displayed in the menu display process (step S708), and a game history in accordance with the selection of the menu displayed in the menu display process. A game history output process (step S709) for performing output of a two-dimensional barcode including it is executed. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S702.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing executed in step S705 of FIG. 9 as the effect control process. In the effect control process shown in FIG. 10, the effect control CPU 120 first executes a hold display update process for updating the hold storage display in the first hold memory number display area 5D and the second hold memory number display area 5U ( Step S630).

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 selects and executes one of the following processes in steps S633 to S640 in accordance with the value of the effect process flag.

  The variable display start waiting process in step S633 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “0”. This variation display start waiting process determines whether or not to start the variation display of the effect symbol on the effect display device 5 based on whether or not the first variation start command or the second variation start command from the main board 11 is received. The process etc. which determine are included.

  The variable display start setting process in step S634 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “1”. This variation display start setting process corresponds to the effect symbol on the effect display device 5 in response to the fact that the variation display of the special symbol is started in the special symbol game by the first special symbol display device 4A or the second special symbol display device 4B. In order to perform various fluctuation display operations and other various presentation operations, a process of determining a fixed presentation pattern and various presentation control patterns according to the variation pattern of the special symbol, the type of display result, and the like are included.

  The variation display effect process in step S635 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “2”. In the effect processing during the variable display, the effect control CPU 120 performs various operations from the effect control pattern according to the timer value in the effect control process timer provided in the effect control timer setting unit stored in the predetermined area of the RAM 122. The control data is read out, and various effect controls are performed during the effect symbol variation display. After performing such effect control, for example, the end code indicating the end of the effect symbol variation display has been read from the special symbol variation effect control pattern, or the symbol confirmation command transmitted from the main board 11 has been received. Corresponding to the above, the finalized design symbol as the final stop symbol that is the variation display result of the production symbol is displayed as a complete stop. If the finalized design is displayed in full stop in response to the end code being read from the special pattern variation production control pattern, the variation display time corresponding to the variation pattern designated by the variation pattern designation command is displayed. Even if it does not depend on the effect control command from the main board 11, the effect display board can autonomously derive and display the determined effect symbol on the side of the effect control board 12 to determine the variable display result. When the confirmed effect symbol is displayed in a completely stopped state, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “3”.

  The special figure waiting process in step S636 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “3”. In this special figure waiting process, the effect control CPU 120 determines whether or not a hit start designation command transmitted from the main board 11 has been received. When the hit start designation command is received and the hit start designation command designates the start of the big hit gaming state, the value of the production process flag is “6” corresponding to the big hit middle production process. Update to On the other hand, when the hit start designation command is received and the hit start designation command designates the start of the small hit gaming state, the value of the production process flag is a value corresponding to the small hit medium production process. To “4”. When the production control process timer times out without receiving a hit start designation command, it is determined that the special figure display result in the special figure game is “lost”, and the value of the production process flag is the initial value. Update to “0”.

  The small hitting effect process in step S637 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is “4”. In the small hit effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect content in the small hit gaming state, and displays an effect image based on the set content on the display screen of the effect display device 5. The sound and sound effects are output from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the sound control board 13, and the game effect lamp 9 is output by outputting a command (lighting signal) to the lamp control board 14. Various effect control in the small hit gaming state such as lighting / extinguishing / flashing the decoration LED is executed. In the small hit effect processing, for example, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “5”, which is a value corresponding to the small hit end effect, in response to receiving a hit end designation command from the main board 11, for example. .

  The small hit end effect process in step S638 is a process executed when the value of the effect control process flag is “5”. In this small hit end effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the end of the small hit gaming state, etc., and displays an effect image based on the set content on the display screen of the effect display device 5. The sound and sound effects are output from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the sound control board 13, and the game effect lamp 9 is output by outputting a command (lighting signal) to the lamp control board 14. And various effect controls at the end of the small hit gaming state, such as turning on / off / flashing the decorative LED. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “0” which is an initial value.

  The big hit effect process in step S639 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “6”. In the jackpot effect processing, the effect control CPU 120 sets, for example, an effect control pattern corresponding to the effect contents in the jackpot gaming state, and displays an effect image based on the set contents on the display screen of the effect display device 5. In addition, a sound or sound effect is output from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the sound control board 13, and a game effect lamp 9 or a decoration is output by outputting a command (electric signal) to the lamp control board 14. Various effect control in the big hit gaming state such as lighting / extinguishing / flashing the LED for the game is executed. Further, in the big hit effect process, for example, in response to receiving a hit end designation command from the main board 11, the value of the effect control process flag is updated to “7” which is a value corresponding to the ending effect process.

  The ending effect process in step S640 is a process executed when the value of the effect process flag is “7”. In this ending effect process, the effect control CPU 120 sets an effect control pattern or the like corresponding to, for example, the end of the big hit gaming state, and displays an effect image based on the set content on the display screen of the effect display device 5. The sound and sound effects are output from the speakers 8L and 8R by outputting a command (sound effect signal) to the sound control board 13, and the game effect lamp 9 and decoration are output by outputting the command (electric signal) to the lamp control board 14 Various effect controls such as turning on / off / flashing the LED are executed at the end of the big hit gaming state. Thereafter, the value of the effect process flag is updated to “0” which is an initial value.

  In addition, the RAM 122 in the effect control board 12 is provided with a start number counter that counts the number of starts since the last big hit or the number of starts since the input of a new password, as shown in FIG. A game history table is stored.

  In the game history table of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, game data unique to the model of the pachinko gaming machine 1, that is, the total number of occurrences of special story reach that occurs only in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the model. And common data consisting of data on the achievement / non-achievement of each normal mission, etc., and common with other models other than the corresponding model (sibling models that can be used to transfer game data with a password, which will be described later) And common data consisting of data such as the level, the points used for the change of the level, the number of start times, the number of big hits, the total number of occurrences of the probability variation number, and the like. In other words, every time a variable display is performed, 1 is added to the total number of starts and updated. Every time a big hit occurs, 1 is added to the total number of big hits. 1 is added to the number of times, and every time a special story reach occurs, 1 is added to the total number of special story reach times, and every time a mission is achieved, the data of the corresponding mission number is updated from non-achieved to achieved.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the game history table stores a password received at the start or during the aggregation of the history stored in the game history table, and includes the two-dimensional information including the password. The code is output along with the history.

  Further, the ROM 121 in the effect control board 12 stores a point assignment table used when points for changing the level values shown in FIG. 12 are given.

  In the point granting table, as shown in FIG. 12, the number of points given when the granting conditions are satisfied in association with various granting conditions to which the points are given are shown in each level range and start frequency range. It is memorized every time.

  As achievement conditions to which points are given, for example, as shown in FIG. 12, when a line notice is executed, it is lost, when a line notice is executed, a big hit, or a quiz notice is given. It is determined that it will be lost when it is executed, or that it will be a big hit when a quiz notice is executed, and it is given according to the difficulty level of each achievement condition, the current level, and the number of times of starting The number of points to be played is determined, and the number of points according to the situation at the time when the achievement condition is satisfied is given (additional update to the number of points in the game history table).

  Each time the number of points reaches a predetermined number (for example, 10 points), the level is incremented by 1, and 10 points are subtracted and updated.

  In this embodiment, by inputting a password or outputting a barcode, the player can change the game parameters such as the level parameter and the number of jackpots that are changed by playing the game to other pachinko machines of the same model. It can be handed over to gaming machines 1 and siblings of pachinko machines.

  Specifically, by selecting the password input from the menu screen shown in FIG. 22B and inputting the password issued by the management server 1200, the production parameters and levels changed by the game, the total number of starts, It is possible not only to use the same model but also sibling models (inheritance target models) to take over the game history such as the total number of big hits.

  As will be described later, the password includes model information that can identify the model, common data common to the same model such as the level and number of jackpots, and sibling models, and the number of reach occurrences specific to the model and individual missions. Binary data including unique data unique to the model is converted into a symbol string of a predetermined length (16 characters in this embodiment) associated with the binary data in a predetermined array.

  The menu screen shown in FIG. 22B is displayed on the effect display device 5 by executing the menu process shown in FIG. 13 in step S707 of the effect control main process (see FIG. 9).

  In this menu process, the production control CPU 120 first determines whether a password is being accepted or a two-dimensional barcode is being output (step S730), and a password is being accepted or a two-dimensional barcode is being output. If there is, the process ends.

  On the other hand, when the password is not being accepted or the two-dimensional bar code is not being output, whether or not the reserved memory number is 0 is stored in the storage data in the first reserved memory number storage area and the second reserved memory number storage area. Based on the determination (step S731), if the number of reserved storage is 0, the process proceeds to step S732, where the production control process flag corresponds to the variable pattern command reception waiting process, whether or not variable display is in progress. Judgment is made based on whether or not the value is to be determined.

  If “No” in step S731 or “Yes” in step S732, that is, if the number of reserved memories is not 0, or if the number of reserved memories is 0, the display is variably displayed, and the process proceeds to step S740. It is determined whether or not the operation process is being performed. If the menu operation process is not being performed, the process ends. On the other hand, if the menu operation process is being performed, that is, whether or not the number of pending storages is 0 during the menu operation process. Alternatively, if variable display is in progress, the menu operation process being executed is terminated (step S741), and the process is terminated.

  In other words, if there is a reserved memory number, or if variable display is being performed even if there is no reserved memory number, that is, if there is a possibility that an effect display or the like is executed on the variable display device 9, Since the menu screen of FIG. 22B is not displayed after the menu processing is finished, it is avoided that the display of these menu screens or the display by the menu selection in the menu screen causes troubles in presentation display. In addition, when the menu operation process is being executed, the game is executed and there is a reserved memory number, or when the variable memory is being displayed even if the reserved memory number does not exist, When the menu operation process is completed, there is no problem in the effect display or the like.

  If No in step S732, that is, if the number of reserved storage is 0 and the variable display is not in progress, the process proceeds to step S733, where it is determined whether the menu operation process is already being performed, and the menu operation process If the menu operation process is being performed, the process proceeds to step S736 and the menu operation process being performed is continued. On the other hand, if the menu operation process is not being performed, the process proceeds to step S734. It is determined whether or not a long press operation in which the push button 31B is pressed continuously over a period of time is being performed. The determination of the presence or absence of the long press operation is performed by setting a 1-second determination timer that is reset when the push button 31B is released at the start of the operation of the push button 31B, for example. What is necessary is just to judge by whether it did.

  In the demonstration screen of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 22A, a message “A menu screen is displayed when a button is pressed and held” is displayed at the bottom of the display screen. The player is informed (guided) that the menu screen can be displayed by long-pressing.

  When the player performs a long press operation on the push button 31B to display the menu screen, it is determined in step S734 that there is a long press operation, and the process proceeds to step S735, and the menu screen in FIG. After being displayed on the display device 5, a menu operation process (step S736) for accepting selection of a menu item by operating the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B on the menu screen is performed, while the push button 31B is determined in the determination of step S734. If there is no long press operation, the process ends.

  On the menu screen, as shown in FIG. 22B, menu items of “password input”, “two-dimensional code output”, and “end” are displayed. On the main menu screen before this password input, By operating the stick controller 31A and the push button 31B to select a password menu, a password input screen shown in FIG. 22C is displayed.

  Specifically, on the menu screen, the stick controller 31A is tilted to the left to move to the left menu item, and the stick controller 31A is tilted to the right to move to the right menu item. When the controller 31A is tilted upward, it moves to the upper menu item, and when the stick controller 31A is tilted downward, it moves to the lower menu item. Then, the highlighted menu item is selected by operating the push button 31B. Further, when the push button 31B is operated in a state where “End” is highlighted as a menu item, or when the push button 31B is operated for a certain period of time or longer, “YES” and “NO” can be selected. A confirmation screen is displayed (not shown). The stick controller 31A and the push button 31B are operated on the completion confirmation screen, and “YES” is selected from “YES” and “NO”, thereby shifting to the basic screen (menu screen). Return to the previous normal screen).

  In the menu operation process, when the menu selected by the player is a “two-dimensional code output” menu on the menu screen, the two-dimensional code output flag is set, so that 2 in step S709 is performed. As shown in FIG. 25B, the two-dimensional bar code including the input password and the game history stored in the game history table at that time is displayed and output.

  After the menu operation process (step S736), it is determined whether or not the “password input” menu on the menu screen has been selected. If the “password input” menu has not been selected, the process ends. On the other hand, when the “password input” menu is selected, the game history table is reset, and the counting of the game history in the game history table is started (step S738), and the password acceptance flag is set. By setting (step S739), the password acceptance process of step S708 shown in FIG. 14 is performed.

  In the password acceptance process performed when the “password entry” menu is selected on the menu screen displayed in step S735, first, as shown in FIG. 14, it is determined whether or not the password acceptance flag is set. A determination is made (step S750), and if the password acceptance flag is not set, the process ends.

  When the password acceptance flag is set, by performing steps S751 to S754, whether or not a preliminary completion condition for password acceptance is established, whether or not a termination condition for password acceptance is established, It is sequentially determined whether or not the number of reserved memories is 0 and whether or not variable display is being performed.

  If the end preliminary condition is satisfied (Yes in step S751), the process proceeds to step S765, and after performing the promotion display process, the process ends.

  In the present embodiment, the end condition regarding the acceptance of the password is that the end of the jackpot and the number of starts from the start of accepting the password (the number of starts counted in the game history table) is a predetermined number (for example, 500 times). As a result, the acceptance of passwords ends when the number of start-ups reaches a predetermined number or the end of jackpot, and the history compiled so far is disabled (invalid). Conditions that are satisfied before the end, specifically, the occurrence of a big hit, and the start preliminary condition that the number of start times becomes a predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times) less than the predetermined number of times (for example, 450 times in advance) Is set as

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 24 (a), it is determined that the end preliminary condition is satisfied when a big hit occurs or when the number of start-ups becomes a prior number.

  In the promotion display process of step S765, for example, a setting for displaying a message display for promoting the completion of password input shown in FIG.

  In addition, the display of the promotion display screen including the character that speaks the line “The acceptance is completed at the end of jackpot. Please complete the input!” Shown in FIG. Is terminated when there is a password input operation by operating the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B, or when a predetermined period (a predetermined number of start times) has elapsed. Note that such notification for prompting completion of password input may be notified not only by displaying a message on the password input screen but also by voice or the like.

  Further, when the big hit end, which is the above-described end condition, or reaching the number of start times of 500 times is established, it is determined Yes in step S752 and the process proceeds to step S764, which is shown in FIG. The display of the input screen divided and displayed during the game is ended, the normal full screen display is started, and the game history table is reset (step S764 +), and then the process is ended.

  Note that, in these end conditions, the display of the demonstration screen shown in FIG. 22A, which is displayed on the effect display device 5 when a predetermined time has elapsed after the player ends the game, continues for a predetermined time. By making this a further condition, even if the player temporarily suspends the game, the termination condition is not satisfied, but when the player ends the game and the next player starts the game, By making the end condition satisfied, the game that was played before when the player changed without a big hit or when the player changed without reaching 500 starts It may be possible to prevent a player's game history from being taken over by a later player.

  Further, in this embodiment, the end of jackpot is set as an end condition. However, as the jackpot, only a big jackpot and a probable jackpot that can secure a password input time by a long one round time are targeted, and the jackpot period However, as with small hits, the short-term accuracy is not targeted, so even if a suspicion occurs, the password input period does not end. Thus, it is possible to avoid the situation where the player cannot input the password and the password input period ends, and the player cannot complete the password input. In other words, the end condition is not limited to all big hits, but only the big hits that can secure the password input period, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example, the generated big hits If all of the jackpots can secure the password input period, all jackpots may be subject to termination conditions.

  In addition, when neither the end preliminary condition nor the end condition is satisfied, and the number of reserved memories is not 0, or the number of reserved memories is 0, the display is variably displayed. If it can be specified that the game is in progress, the process proceeds to step S762, and after performing the divided input screen display process for displaying the divided input screen shown in FIG. 23B, the process proceeds to step S756.

  In this divided input screen display process, as shown in FIG. 23B, the predetermined area on the left side of the display area of the effect display device 5 is set as the input screen area, and the predetermined area on the right side is set as the game screen area. To do. With this setting, an input screen for split display is displayed in the input screen area, and a game screen is displayed in the game screen area.

  If neither the end preliminary condition nor the end condition is satisfied, and the number of reserved memories is 0 and the variable display is not being performed, that is, if it can be specified that the player is not playing a game, the process goes to step S755. Then, after performing the all input screen display process for displaying the password input screen shown in FIG. 22C (same as FIG. 23A) in the entire display area of the effect display device 5, the process proceeds to step S756. move on.

  In this all input screen display process, as shown in FIG. 22C, the entire display area of the effect display device 5 is set as the input screen area. With this setting, the password input screen is displayed in the input screen area (all areas).

  That is, when the demo screen of FIG. 22 (a) is displayed because the player is not playing a game, the push button 31B is pressed and the menu screen of FIG. 22 (b) is displayed. After the password input screen shown in FIG. 13 (c) (same as FIG. 14 (a)) is displayed by selecting the “password input” menu on the menu screen, the game is completed before the password input is completed. Is started and variable display is started or there is a holding memory, as shown in FIG. 23 (b), the split display input screen and the game screen are displayed separately. It is possible to enter a password even during a game that has started. In addition, when the game is interrupted to enter the password during the game and the hold memory is 0 and the variable display is not being displayed, the password input screen is displayed on the full screen, It becomes easy to visually recognize the screen, and the password can be easily input.

  In this embodiment, the divided display is divided into left and right divisions, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these divisions are divided into upper and lower parts to display the input screen and the game screen. Also good.

  On the password input screen, as shown in FIG. 22 (c), the character moves by operating the stick controller 31A, and the character displayed in the foreground is selected by operating the push button 31B. Become. In addition, a message “It can be input even during a game” is displayed on the password input screen, and the player is informed that the password can be input even after the variable display is started based on the start winning prize.

  Further, on the password input screen of this embodiment, every time one character is selected, the next character can be selected. Further, by operating the push button 31B in a state in which “return one character” is displayed in front, the previous character can be selected again. When a 16-character password is selected, the password is determined by moving to the determination field and operating the push button 31B in a state where characters other than “return one character” are displayed in front.

  In step S756, it is determined whether or not an operation advance notice, which is a notice effect accompanying the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B, specifically, a serif notice or quiz notice flag (notice effect type flag) is set. To do.

  When the notice effect type flag of the serif notice or quiz notice is set, the process proceeds to step S763, where the input operation interruption process is performed to interrupt the password input by the operation of the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B.

  On the other hand, if the notice effect type flag of the serif notice or quiz notice is not set, that is, if the serif notice or quiz notice ends, the stick controller 31A is executed by performing the input operation processing in step S757. And accepting (resuming) the input of a password by operating the push button 31B, and performing display according to the operation on the password input screen (full screen or split screen).

  That is, when the notice effect type flag of the serif notice or quiz notice is set and the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is operated in the serif notice or quiz notice, the stick controller 31A or the push button 31B is associated with the notice. Even if there is an operation (signal input), since the input operation processing in step S757 is not performed, these operations are not handled as password input operations. It is possible to avoid confusing the player by being input.

  In this embodiment, in order to be able to determine at the end of the variable display whether or not a point granting condition such as a loss (big hit) in the serif notice or a losing (big hit) in the quiz notice has been established, the serif notice or quiz notice The notice effect type flag is kept without being erased until the end of the variable display, so that the acceptance of these passwords is suspended during the variable display period when the serif notice and quiz notice are implemented. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and by resetting (erasing) these notice announcement type flags of the serif notice or quiz notice when the notice notice or quiz notice notice effect ends, The password acceptance may be canceled only during the notice presentation period of the serif notice or quiz notice.

  The process advances to step S758 to determine whether or not the password input operation has been completed by the input operation processing in step S757.

  If the password input operation is not completed, the process is terminated. If the password input operation is completed, the password analysis process shown in FIG. 15 is performed to determine the level of the player. Is specified and stored (updated) in the game history table, and then an input completion screen display process for displaying the input completion screen shown in FIG.

  On this input completion screen, as shown in FIG. 23C, a message indicating that the password has been input and the level specified in the password analysis process are displayed as a level gauge and a numerical value. In this case, it is possible to check whether the entered password is correct from these level values. After these input completion screens are displayed for a predetermined time, the split screen display is terminated and all the normal game screens are displayed. Displayed in the screen area.

  Then, the process proceeds to step S761, and after resetting the password acceptance flag set in step S739, the process ends.

  Here, the password according to the present embodiment and the password analysis processing shown in FIG. 15 will be described. First, the production control CPU 120 has a predetermined number of symbols (a symbol string received on the password receiving screen corresponds to the password format ( (Step Sp0), and if the received symbol string is 16 symbols, the process proceeds to step Sp1, while if it is not 16 symbols, the received symbol string is not a password. As a result, the process ends.

  Note that the ROM (not shown) mounted on the effect control board 12 includes symbols (alphanumeric characters: 10 types, Roman letters (upper case letters): 26 types, as shown in FIG. A password analysis table in which numerical values of 0 to 61 are determined corresponding to Roman letters (lower case letters: a total of 26 types of 26 types) is stored. In step Sp1, as shown in FIG. Refer to the password analysis table and replace the entered password with the corresponding numerical value (decimal number).

  Next, the replaced numerical value (decimal number) is further converted into a binary number of 6 digits (6 bits).

  Then, 60-bit data excluding the first bit corresponding to the terminal ID is extracted as common data from the binary numeric string corresponding to the upper 10 symbols (step Sp2).

  This common data includes model information that can identify the model that output the password, and game data that can be used in common regardless of the model. Level, total number of starts, total number of big hits, total number of probable changes (See FIG. 15), and from the model information included in the extracted common data, the input password is a password output from the same model or a different model (siblings). It is determined whether the password is output from (model) (step Sp3).

  If the passwords are output from the same model, 36-bit data is extracted as unique data from the binary numeric string corresponding to the lower 6 symbols, as in the case of common data (step Sp4).

  These unique data include various data such as the number of occurrences of specific reach (for example, special story reach), missions, and the like, which are game data that can be used only in the model (see FIG. 11).

  Then, from the extracted common data, the level, the total number of start times, the total number of jackpots, the total number of probable changes, the effect parameters, the additional effect information, etc. are specified, and each corresponding to the common data in the game history table shown in FIG. The corresponding data is updated (step Sp5), and the number of occurrences of specific reach, the normal mission, etc. are specified from the extracted unique data, and each corresponding data corresponding to the unique data in the game history table shown in FIG. 11 is updated. After that, the starting number counter is reset (step Sp6), and the process ends.

  If the game history is already stored in the game history table, the corresponding data extracted from the password is added to the game history and updated.

  That is, when the passwords are output from the same model, it is possible to take over not only the shared data but also the unique data, so that the unique data is also extracted and reflected in the unique data of the game history table.

  If it is determined in step Sp3 that the passwords are not output from the same model, the process proceeds to step Sp7, and the model specified from the model information is stored in the ROM 121 mounted on the effect control board 12 in advance. Determine whether the model is registered as an inheritance target model, for example, a sibling model that has substantially the same gaming board 6 or the like and that differs only in the probability of winning or gameability, or is a gaming machine application If it is not the target model, the input password is invalidated and the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, if the model is an inheritance target model, only the common data in the game history table is updated by proceeding to step Sp5.

  In this way, in this embodiment, it is possible to take over the game history of different sibling models (inheritance target models), and in the case of inheriting common data from these sibling models (inheritance target models), the production parameter Based on the value of the above, by giving the player a privilege to add the production of the music 6 on the condition that it can be determined that the player has played the game to some extent in the inheritance target model, The player can be motivated to take over the common data to the model to be inherited.

  Next, the management server 1200, which is an example of a management apparatus, will be described. The management server 1200 includes a general server computer having a CPU, a RAM, and the like, and can be accessed from the mobile terminal 1300 via the Internet. It manages game history and issues passwords.

  As shown in FIG. 18 (a), the player database can identify each player individually and associates them with a terminal ID (SIM data) uniquely assigned to the portable terminal 1300 used by the player. The e-mail address of the portable terminal 1300, the password issued to the player, the level, the total number of starts (common data), the total number of big hits (common data), the total probability of change (common data), the special story reach Various data such as the number of times (unique data) and normal mission (unique data) are stored.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18 (b), the game history database corresponds to the terminal ID (SIM data) of the mobile terminal 1300 owned by the player who played the game and the game date and time. The model ID that can identify the model of the pachinko gaming machine 1 that has been performed, the password entered in the game of the game, the level at the end of the game, the number of starts in the game, the number of jackpots in the game, Stored are data such as the number of probable changes in a game, the number of special story reach at the end of the game, and the mission.

  As shown in FIG. 18 (c), the game average value database corresponds to the terminal ID (SIM data) of the mobile terminal 1300 owned by the player who played the game, with respect to the total number of times the player has started so far. The average number of starts that is the number of starts in one game, the average number of big hits that is the number of big hits in one game relative to the total number of big hits of the player so far, and one game for the total number of probable changes of the player so far Stored are data such as the average number of times of probability variation that is the number of times of probability variation.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (a), the normal mission table corresponds to the mission ID that can identify the normal mission, the achievement conditions of the normal mission, and the benefits given to the player when the normal mission is cleared. A privilege ID is stored. The normal mission can be set by a manager (site operator) of the management server 1200 to set a new normal mission, or change the achievement conditions and privileges of an existing normal mission. In addition, the types of normal missions and achievement conditions set in the normal mission table can be viewed at any time by the player accessing the management server 1200.

  As shown in FIG. 19B, the limited-time mission table corresponds to the mission ID that can identify the limited-time mission, the start time (year / month / day) of the limited-time mission, and the limited-time mission. End time (year / month / day), promotion notification time for executing promotion notification for promoting achievement of a limited time mission to be described later to the player, achievement conditions of the limited time mission, limited time mission at the promotion notification time The notification condition for determining whether or not to execute the promotion notification, and the privilege ID of the privilege given to the player when the limited mission is cleared are stored. The limited-time mission can be set by a manager (site operator) of the management server 1200 to set a new limited-time mission, or change the achievement conditions and benefits of an existing limited-time mission. Yes. Further, the types of time-limited missions and the achievement conditions set in the time-limited mission table can be viewed at all times by the player accessing the management server 1200.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 19B, the conditions for achieving the limited mission in this embodiment can be achieved by 2,000 times of variation that can be achieved by continuing the game, or by continuing to win the big hit. In addition to 20 hits per big hit, 10 hits per small hit that cannot be expected to appear and 5 hits each are set. For this reason, in this embodiment, even if you do not win a normal big hit or a promising big hit during a game, you can meet the conditions for achieving a limited-time mission by winning a small hit or a chance that you can not expect a lot of money. The person can get a privilege.

  In this embodiment, the start time, end time, and promotion notification time are set to be the same for all limited time missions. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the start time is set for each limited time mission. The end time and the promotion notification time may be set individually. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the promotion notification time is set to the second day before the end time in all limited time missions, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the promotion notification time is the start time. It may be set freely as long as it is between the end time and the end date of the promotion notification time. The case may be any of a case where 3 days are included and a case where 2 days including the day of the end time are excluded excluding the day set as the promotion notification time.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (c), the privilege table corresponds to each privilege ID associated with a normal mission or a limited-time mission, and the privilege table given to the player when the normal mission or limited-time mission is achieved. The privilege type is stored. As for the privilege type, a new privilege type can be set by accessing the administrator (site operator) of the management server 1200, or the existing privilege type associated with the privilege ID can be changed. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 20, in the limited-time result totaling table, a mission ID that can identify a limited-time mission is stored corresponding to the terminal ID (SIM data) of the mobile terminal 1300 owned by the player who played the game. Has been. These mission IDs further include the game results subject to the mission for the limited time mission, such as the number of big hits, the number of small hits, the number of hits, the number of starts, and the number of executions of the game results targeted for the mission in the limited time mission. Each is stored. In this limited-time result totaling table, when the player makes a game history update request when the player finishes the game, the management server 1200 sends each mission of the limited-time mission associated with the terminal ID of the player. In the ID, if the game result subject to the mission is added to the number of executions corresponding to each mission ID, or if there is no terminal ID for which an update request has been made in the limited-time record totaling table, a new terminal ID And the mission target and the number of executions associated with the terminal ID are stored.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the model information table is associated with the model ID that can identify the model of the pachinko gaming machine, and the big hit probability, the probability variation continuation rate, the sudden big hit probability (surprise) for each pachinko machine model. Spec information such as probability), small hit probability, pseudo-run occurrence probability, super reach occurrence probability, number of balls, average base, and the like are stored.

  Next, the operation of the management server 1200 when performing membership registration by accessing the management server 1200 from the mobile terminal 1300 will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 26, when performing membership registration with the mobile terminal 1300, the mobile terminal 1300 first accesses the member registration page of the management server 1200. Then, member information such as name and e-mail address is input on the member registration page, and a member registration request including the input member information and the terminal ID of the mobile terminal 1300 is transmitted to the management server 1200.

  When a membership registration request is made from the mobile terminal 1300, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal ID of the mobile terminal that has made the membership registration request matches the terminal ID already registered in the player database. If there is a matching terminal ID, update the registered member information, or register only the terminal ID as a simple start, and request member registration corresponding to the corresponding terminal ID in the player database. The information is updated to the specified member information, and the registration result is notified to the mobile terminal which has requested the member registration.

  On the other hand, if the terminal ID of the mobile terminal that has made the member registration request does not match the terminal ID already registered in the player database, the member registration request is issued as a member registration request by an unregistered player. The terminal information of the mobile terminal that has been made and the member information specified from the member registration request are associated with each other and newly registered in the player database, and the registration result is notified to the mobile terminal 1300 that has made the member registration request.

  Upon receiving the registration result, the portable terminal 1300 displays the registration result and notifies the player to that effect.

  Next, operations of the management server 1200 and the pachinko gaming machine 1 when issuing a password and playing a game on the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be briefly described with reference to FIG.

  As illustrated in FIG. 27, when a new password issuance request is made from the mobile terminal 1300, the management server 1200 displays the terminal identification information in which the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has issued the request is registered in the player database. It is determined whether or not the information matches the information, and if there is no matching terminal ID (terminal identification information), the mobile terminal 1300 is notified that it is not issued.

  On the other hand, when the terminal ID of the portable terminal 1300 that has issued the request matches the terminal ID registered in the player database, the level corresponding to the terminal ID, the total number of starts, the total number of jackpots, the production parameters, etc. The history information based on the game history is obtained from the player database and a password is issued.

  The password is generated by a procedure reverse to the procedure shown in FIG. First, history information such as the level of the corresponding terminal ID, the total number of startups, the total number of jackpots, and the like are acquired, and a 96-bit value is created based on the acquired data (history information). At this time, 60 bits are allocated for common data and 36 bits are allocated for unique data.

  Next, the created 96-bit value is divided every 6 bits, replaced with decimal numbers, and the replaced value is replaced with characters based on the password analysis table shown in FIG. To do.

  Next, it is determined whether or not it matches the password registered in the corresponding terminal ID of the player database, that is, the previously issued password, and if it matches, it does not match the previous password in the procedure described above. The password is generated again until it is determined.

  The management server 1200 issues a password that does not match the previous password as described above, transmits the password to the mobile terminal 1300 that issued the request, and corresponds to the terminal ID of the mobile terminal that issued the issue request in the player database. Update the password to be used this time.

  When the password is issued in response to the password issuance request, the issued password is displayed on the portable terminal 1300, and the player inputs the displayed password to the pachinko gaming machine 1. Then, in the pachinko machine 1 in which the password is input, the input password is analyzed as described above, and when the password is authenticated, the level specified from the password, the total number of starts, the total number of jackpots, the normal mission, etc. The history information is reflected in the game history table of the pachinko gaming machine 1 so that the game managed by the management server 1200 inherits the history information such as the level, the total number of starts, the total number of jackpots, and the normal mission. Is possible. At this time, the input password is also stored in the game history table.

  When the player finishes the game and selects “2D code output” from the menu screen shown in FIG. 25 (a), the password stored in the game history table, pachinko game, as shown in FIG. Get machine 1 model ID and game history data, that is, level, total start count, total big hit count, total probability variation count, total small hit count, total pseudo-relay count, total number of simulated consecutive runs, etc. A two-dimensional code is generated from the URL indicating the location of the update page and displayed on the effect display device 9, and the game history table is initialized.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the portable terminal 1300 and makes an update request including the game history analyzed from the two-dimensional code, the password, and the terminal ID of the portable terminal 1300 to the management server 1200. The game history acquired by the two-dimensional code can be reflected in the player database of the management server 1200.

  When an update request is made from the mobile terminal 1300, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal ID of the mobile terminal that has made the update request matches the terminal ID registered in the player database. If there is no terminal ID, the mobile terminal 1300 is notified that the update is impossible.

  On the other hand, when the terminal ID of the portable terminal 1300 that has made the update request matches the terminal ID registered in the player database, the password specified from the update request is changed to the terminal ID specified from the update request. The password is checked against the password registered in the player database. If the password specified from the update request matches the password registered in the player database, the player who has issued the password is authenticated, and if the authentication is OK, the update is performed. Based on the game history specified from the request, the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal ID in the player database is updated, and the game specified from the update request in association with the terminal ID and the game date / time (current date / time data) Register the history in the game history database.

  Thereafter, the management server 1200 notifies the player of a normal mission and a limited-time mission achieved in the current game, and a game result addition process of adding data of the current game result to the limited-time-results totaling table. Achievement information generation processing for generating the achievement information, and promotion notification information for notifying the player of a limited time mission in which the promotion notification time has been reached in the current game and the number of executions satisfies the notification condition The notification information generation process is generated, and the generated achievement information and the promotion notification information are notified to the portable terminal 1300 as the current game result, thereby completing the update for the portable terminal 1300 that has made the update request. Notice.

  On the other hand, when the authentication result is authentication NG, the mobile terminal 1300 is notified that the update is impossible.

  Then, on the display screen of the mobile terminal 1300 that has received the notification of the current game result from the management server 1200, as shown in FIG. 32 (a), when there is a normal mission / period limited mission achieved in the current game, An accomplished mission notification page is displayed as achievement information indicating a normal mission and a limited time mission achieved in this game. In addition, when the player operates the mobile terminal 1300 in this state, the display screen of the mobile terminal 1300 reaches the promotion notification time in the current game and satisfies the notification condition as shown in FIG. If there is a limited-time mission that does not satisfy the achievement condition, the promotion notification indicates the limited-time mission that has reached the promotion notification time and satisfies the notification condition (not satisfying the achievement condition) in this game. A promotion notification mission notification page as information is displayed.

  On the display screen on which this promotion notification mission notification page is displayed, the end time of the limited period mission, the certain period limited mission, and the number of executions until the achievement condition are displayed for each item. Further, in the item of each limited time mission, the management server 1200 is requested for recommended model information for informing the player of the recommended pachinko gaming machines 1, 1 ′, 1 ″ suitable for achieving each limited time mission. A hyperlink of the recommended model is attached.

  When one of these recommended model hyperlinks is selected by operating the portable terminal 1300 by the player, the recommended pachinko gaming machine 1, 1 ′ suitable for achieving a limited-time mission corresponding to the selected hyperlink. , 1 ″ recommended model information request is transmitted from the portable terminal 1300 to the management server 1200. When the recommended model information is requested, the management server 1200 notifies the recommended model information for notifying the recommended pachinko gaming machines 1, 1 ′, 1 ″ suitable for achieving the limited mission corresponding to the selected hyperlink. The generation process is executed, and the generated recommended model information is transmitted to the portable terminal 1300.

  On the display screen of the portable terminal 1300 that has received the recommended model information from the management server 1200, as shown in FIG. 33, the limited-time mission corresponding to the hyperlink selected on the above-described promotion notification mission notification page shown in FIG. A recommended model page showing recommended pachinko machines suitable for achieving the above is displayed. In this recommended model page, the achievement conditions for the limited mission and the number of executions of the game result that is the target of the mission up to the fulfillment condition are displayed, and the recommended pachinko gaming machine achieves the limited mission. In order of ease, it is displayed in a ranking format together with specification information related to the achievement of the limited mission.

  Next, game result addition processing, achievement information generation processing, promotion notification information generation processing, and recommended model information generation processing executed in the management server 1200 will be described. FIG. 28 shows a game result addition process executed in the management server 1200. In this game result addition process, the management server 1200 first refers to the limited-time record totaling table to determine whether or not the terminal ID related to the current game result is registered in the limited-time record totaling table ( Step Sv101). If the terminal ID related to the current game result is not registered in the limited-time record total table (step Sv101; No), the terminal ID related to the current game result and each limited-period mission are stored in the limited-time record table. Register (step Sv102).

  If the terminal ID related to the current game result is registered in the limited-time record table (step Sv101; Yes) or after execution of step Sv102, the current time is set to the limited-time mission associated with the terminal ID related to the game result. The corresponding data of the game results, that is, the number of executions of the game results to be missioned in each limited mission is added (step Sv103), and the game result addition process is terminated.

  FIG. 29 shows achievement information generation processing executed in the management server 1200. In this achievement information generating process, the management server 1200 first refers to the player database and the normal mission table to determine whether or not there is a normal mission that satisfies the achievement conditions (step Sv104). If there is a normal mission that satisfies the achievement condition (step Sv104; Yes), it is determined whether or not there is a limited mission that satisfies the achievement condition with reference to the limited-time mission table and the limited-time result totaling table ( Step Sv105).

  If there is a limited-time mission that satisfies the achievement condition (step Sv105; Yes), the management server 1200 extracts a normal mission and a limited-time mission that satisfy the achievement condition, creates an achievement mission notification page, and executes step Sv109 +. Proceed to If there is no limited-time mission that satisfies the achievement condition (step Sv105; No), the management server 1200 extracts a normal mission that satisfies the achievement condition, creates an achievement mission notification page, and proceeds to step Sv109 +.

  On the other hand, if there is no normal mission that satisfies the achievement condition (step Sv104; No), the management server 1200 refers to the limited-time mission table and the limited-time result totaling table to determine whether there is a limited-time mission that satisfies the achievement condition. It is determined whether or not (step Sv108). If there is a limited-time mission that satisfies the achievement condition (step Sv108; Yes), the management server 1200 extracts a limited-time mission that satisfies the achievement condition, creates an achievement mission notification page, proceeds to step Sv109 +, and achieves it. If there is no time-limited mission that satisfies the conditions (step Sv108; No), the management server 1200 is prepared in advance, which is composed of a message or an image prompting the next game such as “Please challenge again”, for example. The predetermined page is read and the process proceeds to step Sv109 +.

  In step Sv109 +, the achievement mission notification page generated in step Sv106, step Sv107, or step Sv109 or the predetermined page read in step Sv108 + is transmitted to the mobile terminal 1300, and the achievement information generation process is terminated.

  FIG. 30 shows a promotion notification information generation process executed in the management server 1200. In this promotion notification information generation process, the management server 1200 first refers to the period limited mission table to determine whether or not there is a period limited mission that has passed the current start time and has not passed the end time (step). Sv110). If there is no time-limited mission (step Sv110; No), the process proceeds to step Sv119. If there is a time-limited mission (step Sv110; Yes), the time-limited mission table is referred to and the current time is set for the time-limited mission promotion notification time. It is determined whether or not it has elapsed (step Sv111). If the time-limited mission promotion notification time has not elapsed (step Sv111; No), the process proceeds to step Sv119, and if the time-limited mission promotion notification time has elapsed (step Sv111; Yes), the time-limited during-period result tabulation table. , It is determined whether or not there is a limited-time mission that does not satisfy the achievement condition and satisfies the notification condition during the limited-time mission that has passed the promotion notification time (step Sv112).

  If the achievement condition is not satisfied and there is no time-limited mission that satisfies the notification condition (step Sv112; No), the process proceeds to step Sv119. In step Sv119, the management server 1200 reads a predetermined page prepared by a message or an image prompting the next game such as “Please challenge again”, and proceeds to step Sv109 +.

  On the other hand, if there is a limited-time mission that does not satisfy the achievement condition and satisfies the notification condition (step Sv112; Yes), the management server 1200 refers to the limited-time mission table and the limited-time result totaling table, A time-limited mission that does not satisfy the achievement condition and satisfies the notification condition is extracted (step Sv113). And the difference between the achievement condition in each period-limited mission extracted and the actual value (number of executions) corresponding to each period-limited mission that is aggregated in association with the terminal ID of the player in the period-limited achievement totaling table Is calculated (step Sv114).

  Specifically, for example, if the achievement condition of the limited-time mission that satisfies the notification condition is 2000 times of variation, each period that is aggregated in association with the terminal ID of the player in the limited-time result totaling table The actual value corresponding to the limited mission, the difference from the start count of 1700 in this case (start count of 300 times) is calculated.

  Further, each calculated difference (for example, the above-mentioned start count of 300) is stored in the game average value database in association with the terminal ID (for example, for the limited mission that satisfies the notification condition described above). When the achievement condition is the number of times of starting, it is divided by the average number of times of starting, and the difficulty level determination value P is calculated (step Sv115).

  In the management server 1200, the difficulty level determination value P calculated in this way is greater than the remaining days until the end time, that is, the number of remaining games (difficulty level determination value P> number of days remaining until the end time). It is determined whether or not there is a limited-time mission (step Sv116). If there is a period limited mission in which the difficulty level determination value P is larger than the remaining days until the end time (step Sv166; Yes), the period limited mission with the difficulty level determination value P equal to or greater than a predetermined value (for example, difficulty level determination) The value P is excluded from the time-limited missions extracted (time-limited missions having a value larger than “2” indicating 2 days before the end time as the promotion notification time in this embodiment) (Sv117), and the process proceeds to step Sv118.

  If there is no time-limited mission in which the difficulty level determination value P is greater than the number of days remaining until the end time (step Sv116; No), the process proceeds to step Sv118, and the difficulty level determination value P is compared between the time-limited missions. Then, the time limited missions are rearranged in order of increasing difficulty determination value P, that is, the achievement conditions are easily achieved (Sv118), and the process proceeds to step Sv120.

  In step Sv120, the promotion notification mission notification page generated in step Sv118 or the predetermined page read in Sv119 is transmitted to the mobile terminal 1300, and the promotion notification information generation process is terminated.

  FIG. 31 shows recommended model information generation processing executed in the management server 1200. In this recommended model information generation process, the management server 1200 first, based on the request for recommended model information from the mobile terminal 1300, each pachinko game corresponding to the achievement condition of the limited time mission for which the recommended model information request has been made. Specification information for each model of the machine is specified using the model information table (step Sv201).

  Then, the spec information for each model of each identified pachinko gaming machine is compared, and a predetermined number of models that easily satisfy the achievement condition of the limited-time mission are extracted from the top (step Sv202). Further, in the order in which the extracted pachinko gaming machine models are easy to satisfy the conditions for achievement of the limited-time mission, for example, if the achievement conditions for the limited-time mission are 2000 times, the pachinko gaming machine models are ordered in descending order of the average base. If the achievement condition of the limited time mission is 20 hits per jackpot, the recommended model information page is generated by rearranging the pachinko machine models in order of the probability of hitting the jackpot (step Sv203), and the generated recommended model information page Is transmitted to the portable terminal 1300 (step Sv204), and the recommended model information generation process is terminated.

  As described above, in the gaming system according to the present embodiment, the promotion notification is performed on the portable terminal 1300 carried by the player, so that the player has the notification condition while the remaining period of the limited time mission is small. It is possible to recognize that there is a high possibility that a limited-time mission can be achieved by satisfying, and it will be possible to give players motivation to achieve the limited-time mission, so the limited-time mission The promotion effect of the game can be enhanced effectively.

  Further, since the promotion notification is performed only for the player carrying the portable terminal 1300 that has been accessed when the remaining period is equal to or less than the promotion notification time, access to the management server 1200 can be aroused.

  In addition, when the remaining period is less than or equal to the promotion notification time and the game history information is received, the promotion notification is performed based on the latest game history after the received game history is aggregated, so the latest game history Accurate promotion notification by can be implemented.

  In addition, since a limited-time mission that is easy to achieve is preferentially promoted and notified, the player can easily recognize that the limited-time mission that has been preferentially notified can be achieved. The motivation to accomplish the mission can be further aroused.

  In addition, since promotion notification is not performed for limited-time missions that are determined to be difficult to achieve even if the notification conditions are met, the promotion notification of these limited-time missions that are difficult to achieve will be implemented. It can be prevented that the willingness to achieve is significantly reduced.

  Next, Example 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 34 and 35. FIG. In addition, the same structure as the said Example and the overlapping structure are abbreviate | omitted. First, the operation of the management server 1200 and the pachinko gaming machine 1 when issuing a password in the second embodiment and playing a game on the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be briefly described based on FIG. 34 and FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 34, when a new password issuance request is made from the mobile terminal 1300, the management server 1200 identifies the terminal identification information registered in the player database as the terminal identification information of the mobile terminal that has issued the issuance request. It is determined whether or not the information matches the information, and if there is no matching terminal ID (terminal identification information), the mobile terminal 1300 is notified that it is not issued.

  On the other hand, when the terminal ID of the portable terminal 1300 that has issued the request matches the terminal ID registered in the player database, the level corresponding to the terminal ID, the total number of starts, the total number of jackpots, the production parameters, etc. The history information based on the game history is obtained from the player database and a password is issued.

  The password is generated by a procedure reverse to the procedure shown in FIG. First, history information such as the level of the corresponding terminal ID, the total number of startups, the total number of jackpots, and the like are acquired, and a 96-bit value is created based on the acquired data (history information). At this time, 60 bits are allocated for common data and 36 bits are allocated for unique data.

  Next, the created 96-bit value is divided every 6 bits, replaced with decimal numbers, and the replaced value is replaced with characters based on the password analysis table shown in FIG. To do.

  Next, it is determined whether or not it matches the password registered in the corresponding terminal ID of the player database, that is, the previously issued password, and if it matches, it does not match the previous password in the procedure described above. The password is generated again until it is determined.

  The management server 1200 issues a password that does not match the previous password as described above, transmits the password to the mobile terminal 1300 that issued the request, and corresponds to the terminal ID of the mobile terminal that issued the issue request in the player database. Update the password to be used this time.

  When the password is issued in response to the password issuance request, the management server 1200 generates achievement information for generating achievement information for notifying the player of the normal mission and the limited-time mission achieved in the current game. And the promotion notification information generation process for generating the promotion notification information for notifying the limited-time mission that has reached the promotion notification time in the previous game and the number of executions satisfies the notification condition, and together with the password The achievement information and the promotion notification information generated by the achievement information generation process and the promotion notification information generation process are notified to the mobile terminal 1300 as the previous game result.

  Then, on the display screen of the portable terminal 1300 that has received the password and the notification of the previous game result from the management server 1200, as shown in FIG. 35A, when there is a normal mission / period limited mission achieved in the previous game. Displays an accomplished mission notification page as achievement information indicating a normal mission and a limited-time mission achieved in the previous game, together with a password. Further, in this state, when the player operates the portable terminal 1300, the display screen of the portable terminal 1300 reaches the promotion notice time in the previous game and satisfies the notice condition, as shown in FIG. 35 (b). If there is a limited-time mission that does not meet the achievement condition, the promotion notification indicates the limited-time mission that has reached the promotion notification time in the previous game and satisfies the notification condition (does not meet the achievement condition) A promotion notification mission notification page as information is displayed together with a password.

  When one of the hyperlinks corresponding to each limited-time mission is selected by operating the portable terminal 1300 by the player on the display screen on which the promotion notification mission notification page is displayed, the selected hyperlink is selected. A recommended model information request of recommended pachinko gaming machines 1, 1 ′, 1 ″ suitable for achieving a limited mission corresponding to the link is transmitted from the mobile terminal 1300 to the management server 1200. When the recommended model information is requested, the management server 1200 notifies the recommended model information for notifying the recommended pachinko gaming machines 1, 1 ′, 1 ″ suitable for achieving the limited mission corresponding to the selected hyperlink. The generation process is executed, and the generated recommended model information is transmitted to the portable terminal 1300.

  On the display screen of the portable terminal 1300 that has received the recommended model information from the management server 1200, as shown in FIG. 33, the limited-time mission corresponding to the hyperlink selected on the above-described promotion notification mission notification page shown in FIG. A recommended model page showing recommended pachinko machines suitable for achieving the above is displayed. For this reason, in this embodiment, the player can issue a password issuance request from the portable terminal 1300 to the management server 1200 before playing the game on the pachinko gaming machine 1, thereby limiting the normal mission / period during the previous game. In addition to obtaining mission achievement information, selecting a hyperlink corresponding to each limited-time mission from the promotion notification mission notification page to confirm efficient pachinko machines to achieve the limited-time mission Can do.

  Then, the player inputs the password displayed on the display screen of the mobile terminal 1300 to the pachinko gaming machine 1. Then, in the pachinko machine 1 in which the password is input, the input password is analyzed as described above, and when the password is authenticated, the level specified from the password, the total number of starts, the total number of jackpots, the normal mission, etc. The history information is reflected in the game history table of the pachinko gaming machine 1 so that the game managed by the management server 1200 inherits the history information such as the level, the total number of starts, the total number of jackpots, and the normal mission. Is possible. At this time, the input password is also stored in the game history table.

  When the player finishes the game and selects “2D code output” from the menu screen shown in FIG. 25 (a), the password stored in the game history table, pachinko game, as shown in FIG. Get machine 1 model ID and game history data, that is, level, total start count, total big hit count, total probability variation count, total small hit count, total pseudo-relay count, total number of simulated consecutive runs, etc. A two-dimensional code is generated from the URL indicating the location of the update page and displayed on the effect display device 9, and the game history table is initialized.

  The player reads the two-dimensional code displayed on the portable terminal 1300 and makes an update request including the game history analyzed from the two-dimensional code, the password, and the terminal ID of the portable terminal 1300 to the management server 1200. The game history acquired by the two-dimensional code can be reflected in the player database of the management server 1200.

  When an update request is made from the mobile terminal 1300, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal ID of the mobile terminal that has made the update request matches the terminal ID registered in the player database. If there is no terminal ID, the mobile terminal 1300 is notified that the update is impossible.

  On the other hand, when the terminal ID of the portable terminal 1300 that has made the update request matches the terminal ID registered in the player database, the password specified from the update request is changed to the terminal ID specified from the update request. The password is checked against the password registered in the player database. If the password specified from the update request matches the password registered in the player database, the player who has issued the password is authenticated, and if the authentication is OK, the update is performed. Based on the game history specified from the request, the corresponding item of the corresponding terminal ID in the player database is updated, and the game specified from the update request in association with the terminal ID and the game date / time (current date / time data) Register the history in the game history database.

  Thereafter, the management server 1200 executes a game result addition process for adding the data of the current game result to the limited-time record totaling table, and ends the reflection of the game history in the player database.

  In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the promotion notification of the limited time mission that is the promotion notification timing is executed at the time of communication between the portable terminal 1300 and the management server 1200 accompanying the start or end of the game. Without being limited to this, as shown in FIGS. 36 and 37, the promotion notification of the limited-time mission is automatically executed by the management server 1200 when the limited-time mission reaches the promotion notification time. May be.

  Specifically, description will be made using a limited-time mission notification process executed by the management server 1200 shown in FIGS. 36 and 37 as a modification of the present embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 36 and 37, the management server 1200 first refers to the period limited mission table to determine whether or not there is a period limited mission that has passed the current start time (step Sv211). If there is no time-limited mission (step Sv211; No), the time-limited mission notification process is terminated, and if there is a time-limited mission (step Sv211; Yes), the time-limited mission table is further referred to It is determined whether or not it is the promotion notification time (step Sv212).

  If it is the time-limited mission promotion notification time (step Sv212; No), the time-limited mission notification processing is terminated, and if it is the time-limited mission promotion notification time (step Sv212; Yes), the present is the secondary of the time-limited mission. It is determined whether it is a notification time (step Sv213). The secondary notification time is a time provided between the promotion notification time and the end time of the limited time mission (for example, when the promotion notification time is two days before the end time as in this embodiment, one day before the end time. Set).

  If it is the secondary notification time of the limited time mission (step Sv213; Yes), the management server 1200 refers to each game history database and identifies a terminal ID that does not access the management server 1200 within the promotion notification time (step). Sv214), among the identified terminal IDs, data related to one terminal ID stored in the limited-time result totaling table is read (step Sv215).

  Then, the management server 1200 refers to the limited-time result totaling table, and does not satisfy the achievement condition and satisfies the notification condition during the limited-time mission corresponding to the terminal ID read in step Sv215. It is determined whether or not there is a mission (step Sv216). If the achievement condition is not satisfied and there is no limited-time mission that satisfies the notification condition (step Sv216; No), the process proceeds to step Sv225, and there is a limited-time mission that does not satisfy the achievement condition and satisfies the notification condition. If so (Step Sv216; Yes), the management server 1200 extracts a time-limited mission that does not satisfy the achievement condition and satisfies the notification condition from the time-limited mission corresponding to the terminal ID read in Step Sv215. (Step Sv217) And the achievement condition in each period-limited mission extracted, and the actual value (execution value) corresponding to each period-limited mission that is aggregated in association with the terminal ID of the player in the period-limited achievement totaling table The difference is calculated (step Sv218).

  Further, each calculated difference is divided by each average value stored in association with the terminal ID in the game average value database to calculate a difficulty determination value P (step Sv219).

  In the management server 1200, the difficulty level determination value P calculated in this way is greater than the remaining days until the end time, that is, the number of remaining games (difficulty level determination value P> number of days remaining until the end time). It is determined whether or not there is a limited-time mission (step Sv220). If there is a period-limited mission in which the difficulty level determination value P is greater than the number of days remaining until the end time (step Sv220; Yes), a period-limited mission in which a period-limited mission with the difficulty level determination value P equal to or greater than a predetermined value is extracted. (Sv221), the process proceeds to step Sv222.

  If there is no time-limited mission in which the difficulty level determination value P is larger than the remaining days until the end time (step Sv220; No), the process proceeds to step Sv222, and the difficulty level determination value P is compared between the time-limited missions. Then, the time-limited missions are rearranged in the order of the difficulty level determination value P, that is, the achievement conditions are easily achieved (Sv222), and the process proceeds to step Sv223.

  Then, the management server 1200 refers to the player database to transmit the promotion notification mission notification page generated in step Sv222 to the e-mail address corresponding to the mobile terminal 1300 (step Sv223). When the promotion notification mission notification page is received at the portable terminal 1300 in step Sv223, as shown in FIG. 38, the player displays the promotion notification mission notification page transmitted as an email on the display screen of the portable terminal 1300. It is possible to browse.

  After step Sv223, the management server 1200 determines whether or not the terminal ID identified in Sv214 has a terminal ID that has not transmitted the promotion notification mission notification page generated in step Sv222 to the corresponding e-mail address. (Step Sv224).

  If there is no terminal ID that has not transmitted the promotion notification mission notification page (step Sv224; No), the period limited mission notification process is terminated, and if there is a terminal ID that has not transmitted the promotion notification mission notification page (step Sv224; Yes). ), Among the terminal IDs identified in Sv214, data related to the next terminal ID stored in the limited-time result totaling table is read (step Sv225), and the process proceeds to step Sv216. Thereafter, the management server 1200 performs steps Sv216 to SV225 until the terminal ID identified in Sv214 has no terminal ID that has not transmitted the promotion notification mission notification page generated in step Sv222 to the corresponding e-mail address. By doing so, the promotion notification mission notification page is displayed only on the portable terminal 1300 of the player who is not playing a game even during the secondary notification period that is closer to the end timing from the promotion notification timing while participating in the limited time mission. Send by email.

  On the other hand, if it is not the secondary notification time of the limited-time mission (step Sv213; No), the management server 1200 reads data related to the terminal ID of 1 stored in the limited-time result totaling table (step Sv226). Then, it is determined whether or not the data read in step Sv226 does not satisfy the achievement condition and there is a limited-time mission that satisfies the notification condition (step Sv227). If the achievement condition is not satisfied and there is no limited-time mission that satisfies the notification condition (step Sv227; No), the process proceeds to step Sv236, and there is a limited-time mission that does not satisfy the achievement condition and satisfies the notification condition. If so (Step Sv227; Yes), the management server 1200 extracts a time-limited mission that does not satisfy the achievement condition and satisfies the notification condition from the time-limited mission corresponding to the terminal ID read in Step Sv226. (Step Sv228), and the achievement condition in each period-limited mission extracted, and the actual value (execution value) corresponding to each period-limited mission that is tabulated in association with the terminal ID of the player in the period-limited period totaling table The difference is calculated (step Sv229).

  Further, each calculated difference is divided by each average value stored in association with the terminal ID in the game average value database to calculate a difficulty determination value P (step Sv230).

  In the management server 1200, the difficulty level determination value P calculated in this way is greater than the remaining days until the end time, that is, the number of remaining games (difficulty level determination value P> number of days remaining until the end time). It is determined whether or not there is a limited-time mission (step Sv231). If there is a period limited mission in which the difficulty level determination value P is greater than the remaining number of days until the end time (step Sv231; Yes), a period limited mission in which the period limitation missions with the difficulty level determination value P equal to or greater than a predetermined value are extracted. (Sv232) and the process proceeds to step Sv233.

  If there is no time-limited mission in which the difficulty level determination value P is larger than the remaining days until the end time (step Sv231; No), the process proceeds to step Sv222, and the difficulty level determination value P is compared between the time-limited missions. Then, the time-limited missions are rearranged in the order of the difficulty determination value P, that is, the achievement conditions are easily achieved (Sv233), and the process proceeds to step Sv234.

  Then, the management server 1200 refers to the player database, and transmits the promotion notification mission notification mail generated in step Sv233 to the e-mail address corresponding to the mobile terminal 1300 (step Sv234). When the promotion notification mission notification email is received at the portable terminal 1300 in step Sv234, the player can view the promotion notification mission notification email on the display screen of the portable terminal 1300 as shown in FIG. It has become.

  After this step Sv234, the management server 1200 does not transmit the promotion notification mission notification mail generated in step Sv233 to the corresponding e-mail address in the terminal ID stored in the limited-time result totaling table. It is determined whether or not there is an ID (step Sv235).

  If there is no terminal ID that has not transmitted the promotion notification mission notification email (step Sv235; No), the period limited mission notification processing is terminated, and if there is a terminal ID that has not transmitted the promotion notification mission notification email (step Sv235; Yes). ), Data related to the next terminal ID stored in the limited-time result totaling table is read (step Sv236), and the process proceeds to step Sv227. Thereafter, the management server 1200 makes a limited mission by performing steps Sv227 to SV236 until there is no terminal ID that has not transmitted the promotion notification mission notification mail generated in step Sv233 to the corresponding e-mail address. A promotion notification mission notification mail is transmitted to the mobile terminals 1300 of all participating players based on the fact that the promotion notification time has come.

  As described above, in this modification, for all players who satisfy the neglect condition at the time when the remaining period becomes the promotion notification time, the promotion notification is made without requiring the player to access the management server 1200. It can be performed.

  Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications and additions within the scope of the present invention are included in the present invention. It is.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the limited-time mission can be executed among a plurality of types of pachinko gaming machines 1, 1 ′, 1 ″, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the limited-time mission is: It may be executable between multiple types of pachinko machines 1, 1 ′, 1 ″ and slot machines, and only multiple types of slot machines that do not include pachinko machines 1, 1 ′, 1 ″ May be executable between.

  In the embodiment, when the management server 1200 receives an update request from the mobile terminal 1300 or when the management server 1200 receives a password issue request from the mobile terminal 1300, the promotion notification time has elapsed. In addition, if there is a limited-time mission that does not satisfy the achievement condition but satisfies the notification condition, the promotion notification information is transmitted to the mobile terminal 1300. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the management server 1200 determines the type of the normal mission, The period during which the promotion notification time has passed when the mobile terminal 1300 is accessed to view the achievement condition, the type of mission limited to the period, the achievement condition, etc., and the notification condition is satisfied without satisfying the achievement condition If there is a limited mission, the promotion notification information may be transmitted to the mobile terminal 1300.
