Abstract

The present invention provides an information processing device and a program that can lower a difficulty level of clearing a predetermined condition and improve a continuation rate of a player.
The information processing device is configured to execute a game in which symbol random determination for determining symbols to be rearranged is executed, and when an arrangement pattern of the determined symbols corresponds to one of a plurality of kinds of preset arrangement patterns, a payout corresponding to the arrangement pattern is awarded, and the information processing device includes a controller programmed to execute a) a process of executing random determination as to whether to rearrange the symbols in an arrangement pattern corresponding to a specific payout among the payout, and b) a process of rearranging the symbols in the arrangement pattern corresponding to the specific payout and awarding the specific payout within a predetermined period of time regardless of whether the symbol random determination is executed, when a random determination result in the process a) wins a prize.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An information processing device configured to execute a game in which symbol random determination for determining symbols to be rearranged is executed, and when an arrangement pattern of the determined symbols corresponds to one of a plurality of kinds of preset arrangement patterns, a payout corresponding to the arrangement pattern is awarded, the information processing device comprising:
a controller programmed to execute
a) a process of executing random determination as to whether to rearrange the symbols in an arrangement pattern corresponding to a specific payout among the payout, and
b) a process of rearranging the symbols in the arrangement pattern corresponding to the specific payout and awarding the specific payout within a predetermined period of time regardless of whether the symbol random determination is executed, when a random determination result in the process a) wins a prize.

2. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein
the controller executes
a quest including a plurality of the games to be sequentially executed, and
c) a process of granting a right to execute a new quest when a predetermined condition is cleared due to accumulation of payouts.

3. The information processing device according to claim 2 , wherein
the controller further executes
d) a process of, when the random determination result in the process a) wins a prize and the quest is completed before the symbols are rearranged in the arrangement pattern corresponding to the specific payout in the process b), passing on the winning result to a next quest.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that stores a game program to be executed by an information processing device configured to execute a game in which symbol random determination for determining symbols to be rearranged is executed, and when an arrangement pattern of the determined symbols corresponds to one of a plurality of kinds of preset arrangement patterns, a payout corresponding to the arrangement pattern is awarded, the game program causing the following processes to be executed in executing the game
a) a process of executing random determination as to whether to rearrange the symbols in an arrangement pattern corresponding to a specific payout among the payout, and
b) a process of rearranging the symbols in the arrangement pattern corresponding to the specific payout and awarding the specific payout within a predetermined period of time regardless of whether the symbol random determination is executed, when a random determination result in the process a) wins a prize.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 4 , wherein the following processes further comprising:
a quest including a plurality of the games to be sequentially executed, and
c) a process of granting a right to execute a new quest when a predetermined condition is cleared due to accumulation of payouts.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 5 , wherein the following processes further comprising
d) a process of, when the random determination result in the process a) wins a prize and the quest is completed before the symbols are rearranged in the arrangement pattern corresponding to the specific payout in the process b), passing on the winning result to a next quest.

7. An information processing device configured to execute a game in which first random determination for determining symbols to be rearranged is executed, when an arrangement pattern of the determined symbols corresponds to one of a plurality of kinds of preset arrangement patterns; a quest including a plurality of unit games configured to award payouts corresponding to the arrangement pattern is executed; and when a predetermined condition is cleared due to a cumulative amount of the payouts clears, a right to execute a new subsequent quest is granted,
the information processing device comprising:
a controller programmed to execute
a) a process of executing second random determination which is activated during the quest before the quest starts, the second random determination being random determination for determining a winning or a failure, and
b) a process of, when the quest starts, in a case where the winning is achieved in the second random determination, activating a result of the second random determination in the plurality of unit games which are sequentially executed.
