Description

  The present invention relates to a game management system and a game management method for managing a game by a player.

  Conventionally, a game store such as a pachinko store manages various information related to the player in association with identification information for identifying the player and provides various services to the player. For example, Patent Document 1 provides a savings service in which the number of game media is managed in association with the member ID of a player registered as a member of a game store, and the number of game media can be used for games and prize exchange from the next day. A storage management device is disclosed.

  The player can transfer the possessed ball to the accumulated ball by registering the retained ball, which is the number of game media acquired in the game, in the above-described accumulated ball management apparatus. Mochitama can be used for games and prize exchange only within a predetermined time limit (for example, until the closing time of the day), but it can be used beyond the predetermined time limit by shifting to a stored ball. In addition to game balls, medals and the like are used as game media, but in this specification, for the sake of simplicity, they will be referred to as holding balls and storage balls regardless of the shape of the game media.

  When a player uses a savings service, a member card or the like storing a member ID is used. For example, when using a storage ball for a game, each device connected to the gaming machine receives a storage ball replay operation in a state where the member ID is read from a member card or the like, and each device communicates with the storage management device. Then, the stored money associated with the member ID is subtracted, and the game medium is paid out.

  Further, a terminal device such as a mobile phone carried by a player can be used instead of the membership card. In this case, the terminal ID of the terminal device and the member ID are associated in advance, and the storage ball is specified using the terminal ID received from the terminal device by each device. In this way, if the terminal device can be used as a substitute for the membership card, it is not necessary for the player to always carry the membership card, so convenience is improved, and for the gaming store, it is necessary to reissue the membership card. The burden can be reduced.

  The management of various information related to the player is not limited to the service to the player, but can also be used for the operation of the game store. For example, it is possible to analyze the trend of the player and reflect it in the replacement of gaming machines and the implementation of events. It is also possible to take measures adapted to each player, such as selectively sending guidance to a player whose visit frequency has decreased.

The inter-card card processing machine 10 that has received the ball lending permission data performs payout processing of the number of game balls corresponding to the subtracted prepaid value.

  Next, a description will be given of the ball replay process in the case of replaying the ball in the gaming system shown in FIG. When the inter-card processing machine 10 accepts the insertion of the general card or the membership card, it transmits the card insertion notification data to the card management device 40. This card insertion notification data includes the card ID of the card inserted in the inter-card card processor 10, an address or arbitrary identification data for identifying the inter-card card processor 10 that is the transmission source, and the inter-card card processor Data for specifying 10 rates.

  When the card management device 40 receives the card insertion notification data from the inter-card card processor 10, the card management device 40 gives the inter-card card processor 10 the number of balls held at each rate associated with the card ID in the card insertion notification data. Notice.

  The inter-card processing machine 10 stores the number of balls received from the card management device 40. Then, data for specifying the card ID, rate, and holding ball subtraction request data indicating that the number of holding balls is cleared to zero are transmitted to the card management device 40. When the card management device 40 receives the possession ball subtraction request data, the card management device 40 clears the number of possessions of the designated card ID and rate to zero. Further, when the inter-card processing machine 10 accepts a holding ball replay operation and performs a holding ball replay, the predetermined number is subtracted from the stored number of holding balls, and a payout process for the corresponding number of gaming balls is performed. . When performing the payout process, the payout process is performed by sending a payout instruction to the gaming machine for multiples of units that can be paid out by the gaming machine (for example, 25 balls), and the rest (for example, less than 25 balls) of the own machine. The payout process is performed by paying out from the nozzle unit 18a.

  When the inter-card card processing machine 10 accepts the card return operation, the inter-card card processing machine 10 transmits the possession ball addition request data to the card management device 40. This coin addition request data includes the card ID of the card to be returned, the address or arbitrary identification data for identifying the inter-card processor 10 that is the transmission source, and the rate of the inter-card processor 10 Includes the number of holding balls.

  When the card management device 40 accepts the possession ball addition request data, the card management device 40 adds the number of possessions included in the possession ball addition request data to the number of possessions of the designated card ID and rate. Thereafter, the inter-card card processor 10 transmits the card ejection notification data to the card management device 40 and controls the ejection of the card.

  Next, the stored ball replay process in the gaming system shown in FIG. 2 will be described. When the inter-card card processor 10 reads the card ID from the membership card or the portable terminal that can be used as the membership card, it transmits the card insertion notification data to the card management device 40. This card insertion notification data includes the card ID of the card inserted in the inter-card card processor 10, an address or arbitrary identification data for identifying the inter-card card processor 10 that is the transmission source, and the inter-card card processor Data for specifying 10 rates.

  The card management device 40 transmits the card insertion notification data received from the inter-card card processor 10 to the member management device 50. When the member management device 50 receives the card insertion notification data, the membership number associated with the card ID in the card insertion notification data and the number of stored balls at the rate specified by the card insertion notification data among the stored balls. Then, the stored ball replay data including the possible number of stored ball replays is transmitted to the inter-card processing machine 10. The possible number of pool replays indicates the number of balls that can be replayed. The possible number of replays of the stored balls is a multiple of the number of payout units of game balls in the replay of stored balls. If an upper limit is set for the replay of stored balls, the maximum value within the range of the number of stored balls and the upper limit is the possible number of replay of stored balls. In addition, you may use the frequency | count in which the stored ball replay is possible instead of the possible number of the stored ball replay as the stored ball replay frequency. The stored ball replay frequency is a quotient obtained by dividing the number of stored balls by the number of payout units of game balls in the stored ball replay. However, in the case where an upper limit is set for the stored ball replay, the upper limit of the stored ball replay frequency is limited by this upper limit.

  The inter-card processing unit 10 stores the received stored ball replay data, and allows the stored ball replay operation to be accepted when the possible number of stored ball replays indicated in the stored ball replay data is 1 or more.

  When the storage card replay data is stored for the first time after the storage ball replay data is stored, the inter-card processing machine 10 requests the player to input a password, and the input password is the stored ball replay data. It is determined whether or not it matches the password shown in FIG.

  The inter-card card processing machine 10 transmits the stored ball replay request data to the card management device 40 when the passwords match. This storage ball replay request data includes the card ID of the card inserted in the inter-card card processing machine 10, the address or arbitrary identification data for specifying the inter-card card processing machine 10 that is the transmission source, and inter-card processing. Data for specifying the rate of the machine 10.

  The card management device 40 transmits the stored ball replay request data to the member management device 50. When the member management apparatus 50 receives the stored ball replay request data, the member management device 50 subtracts a predetermined value from the stored ball associated with the card ID in the stored ball replay request data at a rate specified by the message. Then recalculate the possible number of replays of the stored ball. Then, stored ball replay data including the balance after subtraction and the possible number of stored ball replays is transmitted to the inter-card card processing machine 10.

  The inter-card processing machine 10 updates the number of stored balls to be stored, and performs a payout process for the number of game balls corresponding to the number of payout units for storing replay. In addition, it is determined whether the number of possible replays of the renewed stored ball is 1 or more. If the possible number of pool replays is 0, the storage ball replay operation cannot be accepted. If the number of possible replays of stored balls after renewal is 1 or more, the replay operation of stored balls can be accepted again. In the second and subsequent replays, it is not necessary to confirm the password. Note that the password may be confirmed every time. Moreover, although the case where the member management device 50 subtracts the balance of the stored ball and then the inter-card card processing machine 10 performs the game ball payout process is illustrated here, the game ball payout process is performed based on the stored ball replay request. After doing so, the balance of the stored ball may be subtracted. This is because the storage ball replay data before the storage ball replay request indicates the possible number of storage ball replays, and it does not become a situation where the balance shortage is found after receiving the storage ball replay request.

  Next, the transition from the holding ball to the storage ball in the closing process will be described. The card management device 40 checks the number of balls in the card management data during the closing process, and if there is a record associated with a number of balls larger than zero, the number of balls in the record is displayed together with the card ID and the rate. The member management apparatus 50 is notified.

  In addition, a player who has a browsing “L” of the own store, a game “L” of the own store, a browsing “H” of the other store, and a browsing “H” of the other store has both a game and a browsing at the other store. Because there is no browsing or gaming, the store's evaluation is set to “not applicable”.

  In addition, a player who has his / her own store browsing “H”, own store game “L”, other store browse “L”, and other store browse “H” has a game at the other store. Because it is browsed, the evaluation of the store is “interesting”.

  In addition, since a player who is browsing his / her own store “H”, his / her own game “L”, another store's browsing “L”, and another store's browsing “L” is only browsing his / her own store, The evaluation is “interesting”.

  In addition, since the player who is “L” of the own store, “H” of the game of the own store, “L” of the other store, and “L” of the other store has the game only in the own store, The evaluation is “main”.

  In addition, since the player who is “L” of the own store, “L” of the game of the own store, “H” of the other store, and “L” of the other store can browse only the other store, The evaluation is “not applicable”.

  In addition, since a player who is browsing “L” of his / her own store, “L” of his / her store ’s game, “L” of browsing his / her own store, and “H” of browsing his / her other store has a game only at the other store, The evaluation is “not applicable”.

  FIG. 15 shows an example of use of the analysis result shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 15A, if the evaluation of each store is associated with the member ID and used as a table, output indicating the evaluation of the game store of each player can be performed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), the trend of the player may be further analyzed from changes in browsing and gaming results. For example, even if the store evaluation of the store is “main”, the player is evaluated as a “reserve reserve army” if a predetermined ratio decreases in the monthly average of the game results. Further, even if a player has a “main” store evaluation of his / her store, if a visit to another store and a game at another store occur, the player is evaluated as a “reserve reserve army”. Even if the store evaluation of the store is “main”, the player evaluates it as “separated” if there is no more browsing and games in the store.

  Further, if the store evaluation of the own store is “sub” and the browsing of other stores and the games of other stores increase, it is evaluated as “reserve reserve army”. Further, if the store evaluation of the own store is “sub” and the browsing of the own store and the game of the own store increase, it is evaluated as “main candidate”. Further, if the store evaluation of the own store is “interesting” and the browsing of the own store and the game of the own store increase, it is evaluated as “main candidate”.

  FIG. 16 is a specific example when the analysis results are aggregated for each store and the store is evaluated. In the example shown in FIG. 16, store evaluations by players are tabulated for each store, 60 players are mainly game store A, 30 players are sub-game store A, and amusement store. There are five players who are interested in A. In addition, there are 10 players mainly in the game store B, 30 players in the sub-game store B, and 50 players interested in the game store A.

  FIG. 17 is a specific example when the analysis result is used for notification control. In FIG. 17, for players whose own store evaluation is “main”, new stand arrival, renewal opening, fan appreciation day, writer event, celebrity visit event, general prize replacement, point exchange event, wagon event, etc. All notifications are to be made.

  On the other hand, for players whose own store evaluation is “sub”, notification of new arrival, renewal opening, fan appreciation day, writer event, celebrity visit event will be performed, but general prize replacement, point exchange meeting, wagon Event notification is not performed.

  In addition, for customers who are interested in their own store, they will be notified of new units, reopening, fan appreciation day, writer events, entertainer events, but general prize replacement, point exchanges, wagons, etc. Event notification is not performed.

  In addition, for players whose own store's evaluation is “not eligible”, notification of writer events and entertainer visit events will be made, but new units will arrive, renewal opening, fan appreciation day, general prize replacement, point exchange, Notification of wagon events will not be made.

  In addition, for players whose own store's evaluation is “Retraction Reserve”, notification of new units, reopening, fan appreciation day, writer event, celebrity visit event, wagon event will be performed, but general prize replacement, The point exchange meeting will not be notified.

  In addition, for players whose own store evaluation is “Separated”, notification of new arrival, renewal opening, fan appreciation day, writer event, celebrity visit event, point exchange meeting will be given, but general prize replacement, wagon Event notification is not performed.

  In addition, for players whose own store evaluation is a “main candidate”, notifications of new arrivals, renewal openings, fan appreciation days, writer events, entertainer visit events will be given, but general prize replacements, point exchange events The wagon event will not be notified.

  Next, the use of the personal game record input by the player will be described. FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram regarding the use of individual game results input by the player. In FIG. 18, the player plays a game at the game store A (S11), and then inputs the game result to the mobile terminal device 110 (S12). This input is for the player to manage his / her game performance, and the possibility of falsehood is low. Therefore, the server 120 acquires and manages the personal game results together with the member ID from the portable terminal device 110 (S13).

  On the other hand, the game store A transmits the game results accumulated in its own store to the server 120 as store game results (S14). The server 120 integrates the store game results received from the game store A and the personal game results received from the mobile terminal device 110 to manage the game results. Specifically, based on the store game results, the lack in the store game results may be compensated with the individual game results.

  Note that the information management and analysis described so far are merely examples, and can be implemented with appropriate modifications. For example, in FIG. 12, the value of each item associated with the member ID is compared with the average value of the item and given an evaluation of “H” and “L”. It may be used, or among a plurality of amusement stores that a certain player browses or plays, a gaming store in which the ratio of browsing or gaming is a predetermined value or more may be set to “H”. Moreover, you may evaluate using the order of browsing or a game among several game stores in which a certain player browses and plays. As described above, when the evaluation standard is changed, the analysis result and the output using the analysis result are also changed.

  In addition, the evaluation of the player can be implemented with appropriate modifications. For example, as shown in FIG. 19, a player who browses and compares the appearances of the main models of the candidate stores and plays at a store that can be expected to appear will be a “severe” for the selected stores. It can be evaluated as “Opportunity Lost Customers” for stores that were not selected.

  Similarly, a player who browses and compares information of a specific model and selects a store can be evaluated as a “model main customer” who visits the store with an emphasis on the model rather than the store.

  In addition, a player who browses a game from another store while visiting the store and changes the store can feel that the store being played is not attractive and can be evaluated as a “cheating customer” who is interested in the other store.

  In addition, a player who confirms information on a gaming machine that has been playing after leaving the store can be evaluated as an “unskilled customer” who wanted to continue the game.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the server 120 provides information related to the game via a predetermined communication line to the mobile terminal device 110 that is a player terminal device operated by the player, and the record of information provision is provided. Are associated with a member ID, which is player information for identifying a player, and a game record indicating a game record performed by a player at a game store and player information of the player. The member ID is managed in association with each other, and the information providing results (viewing results) related to the same player and the game results are associated with each other, so that the player is not limited to the results of the game performed by visiting the store. It is possible to efficiently collect trends and manage games by players.

  In addition, when the server 120 provides information to the mobile terminal device 110, the member ID stored in the mobile terminal device 110 is acquired, and when the mobile terminal device 110 is used for processing related to a game in the game store, the game 120 By managing the game results including processing in association with the player information obtained from the mobile terminal device 110, it is possible to associate the viewing results with the game results based on the member ID stored in the mobile terminal device 110.

  Further, the server 120 can tabulate and analyze the associated browsing results and game results. For example, browsing results and game results can be aggregated for each member ID, and a player's evaluation of a game store can be determined. It is also possible to determine the relative evaluation of a plurality of game stores by the player.

  It is also possible to manage the game results input by the player to the mobile terminal device 110 in association with the member ID. At this time, it is desirable to integrate and use the game results input by the player to the game portable terminal device 110 and the game results managed in the game store.

  Note that the game application program executed on the terminal device 110 is not limited to the disclosure of the embodiment, and can have various functions. For example, when the terminal ID of the mobile terminal device 110 is acquired and the terminal ID is changed due to a model change or the like, the application program performs a terminal ID change process on the member management device 50, thereby allowing the game store clerk to The terminal ID registered in the amusement store can be changed without imposing a work burden. Specifically, if the application program holds a member ID, an application program identification code, and a terminal ID in association with each other and performs a model change operation when changing the model, the terminal ID registered as a member and the current And the server 120 or the member management apparatus 50 may be notified so that the new terminal ID is handled as the terminal ID of the member.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, a description has been given of an example in which the member management device 50 temporarily accumulates game results and the member management device 50 transmits the game results to the server 120 at a predetermined timing such as closing processing. However, the server 120 may be configured to collect and manage game results in real time.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the hall computer manages the game performance using the pulse signal received from the gaming machine 20 or the like has been described as an example. The machine 10 may acquire the game status of the game 20 and notify the card management device 40 so that the card management device 40 manages the game results.
