Abstract

A recording medium storing a game program processing progress of a game using a game content, the game program executes instructions including receiving, displaying, and determining. During determining, an action of the game content for the progress of the game is determined according to a combination of predetermined symbols displayed during displaying.

First claim

1 . A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a game program which processes progress of a game using a plurality of game contents, the game program when executed by a computer, causes the computer to:
receive, from a first player, stop operations to stop a plurality of slots, each slot being associated with game content of the plurality of game contents and including a plurality of symbols based on an attribute set in the associated game content, and the plurality of symbols being sequentially replaced and provided to the first player; display a combination of the plurality of symbols provided to the first player according to the received stop operations; determine an action of the game content according to the displayed combination of the plurality of symbols, the game being progressed according to the action of the game content and communicate a message enabling communication relating to an intended combination of symbols among a plurality of players including the first player.

2 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the action of the game content includes an action for progress of a quest in the game or an action for accomplishment of a mission in the game.

3 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the game program further causes the computer to:
increase and decrease at least one of a number of the plurality of slots and a speed at which the symbols are replaced in the plurality of slots.

4 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein, in the game, at least one player of the plurality of players uses the game content to battle with an other player or a computer-controlled character.

5 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 4 , wherein the determined action is an action of attack or defense against the other player or the computer-controlled character.

6 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the game program further causes the computer to:
display the message with information indicating a player who gives the message.

7 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the game program further causes the computer to:
display the message in association with information indicating game content held by a player who gives the message.

8 . The non-transitory computer readable medium according to claim 1 , wherein the first player receives the message before displaying of the combination of the plurality of symbols.

9 . A game processing method for controlling progress of a game using a plurality of game contents, the game processing method comprising:
receiving, from a first player, stop operations to stop a plurality of slots, each slot being associated with game content of the plurality of game contents and including a plurality of symbols based on an attribute set in the associated game content, and the plurality of symbols being sequentially replaced and provided to the first player; displaying a combination of the plurality of symbols provided to the first player according to the received stop operations; determining an action of the game content according to the displayed combination of the plurality of symbols, the game being progressed according to the action of the game content; and communicating a message enabling communication relating to an intended combination of symbols among a plurality of players including the first player.

10 . The game processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the action of the game content includes an action for progress of a quest in the game or an action for accomplishment of a mission in the game.

11 . The game processing method according to claim 9 , further comprising:
increasing and decreasing at least one of a number of the plurality of slots and a speed at which the symbols are replaced in the plurality of slots.

12 . The game processing method according to claim 9 , wherein, in the game, at least one player of the plurality of players uses the game content to battle with an other player or a computer-controlled character.

13 . The game processing method according to claim 12 , wherein the determined action is an action of attack or defense against the other player or the computer-controlled character.

14 . The game processing method according to claim 9 , further comprising:
displaying the message with information indicating a player who gives the message.

15 . The game processing method according to claim 9 , further comprising:
displaying the message in association with information indicating a game content held by a player who gives the message.

16 . The game processing method according to claim 9 , wherein the first player receives the message before displaying of the combination of the plurality of symbols.

17 . An information processing apparatus for controlling progress of a game using a plurality of game contents, the information processing apparatus comprising:
circuitry configured to
receive, from a first player, stop operations to stop a plurality of slots, each slot being associated with game content of the plurality of game contents and including a plurality of symbols based on an attribute set in the associated game content, and the plurality of symbols being sequentially replaced and provided to the first player,
display a combination of the plurality of symbols provided to the first player according to the received stop operations,
determine an action of the game content according to the displayed combination of the plurality of symbols, the game being progressed according to the action of the game content, and
communicate a message enabling communication relating to an intended combination of symbols among a plurality of players including the first player.

18 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein the action of the game content includes an action for progress of a quest in the game or an action for accomplishment of a mission in the game.

19 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
increase and decrease at least one of a number of the plurality of slots and a speed at which the symbols are replaced in the plurality of slots.

20 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein, in the game, at least one player of the plurality of players uses the game content to battle with an other player or a computer-controlled character.

21 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 20 , wherein the determined action is an action of attack or defense against the other player or the computer-controlled character.

22 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
display the message with information indicating a player who gives the message.

23 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein the circuitry is further configured to:
display the message in association with information indicating a game content held by a player who gives the message.

24 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 17 , wherein the first player receives the message before displaying of the combination of the plurality of symbols.
