DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a management system for managing a pachinko game machine or the like used in a pachinko game arcade.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pachinko game arcade management system uses a pachinko game machine to determine the balance of pachinko balls (such as the number of shot balls and the number of prize balls) with player identification information for identifying a player. By registering them in the management computer in real time, it is possible to always know when, which player, how many shooting balls hit and how many prize balls were received on which pachinko machine, etc. Has become. The pachinko game hall has a player specific medium (for example,
Each player has a magnetic card), and the player identification medium is used to identify the player. Further, the pachinko gaming machine constituting this management system is adapted to convert to a specific gaming state advantageous to the player when a predetermined condition is satisfied.

[0003] The "specific game state" generally means a jackpot state (prize state), a probability fluctuation state, and the like.
For example, in the state of a special prize, it generally lasts several minutes. The problem here is that the specific game state has not yet ended even though the store close time has come. That is, it is assumed that the store close time has come when a certain number of prize balls (balls) have been paid out in the specific game state. The specific game state can be ended because the store close time has come, but if the store close time has not come, the player will lose money by the amount paid out. The closing time is inevitable and there is no responsibility for the pachinko parlor. However, if the loss is left in this way, the lost player will never come to this pachinko game hall again. How to make up for such losses, that is, how to compensate for the losses, is a very important issue in the business policy of pachinko arcades.

[0004] As a method of compensating the loss so far, for example, there is a device described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 8-173609 (hereinafter referred to as "conventional device"). In other words, if there is a pachinko gaming machine in a specific gaming state at the time of closing the store, the prescribed number data indicating the average number of pachinko balls to be paid out during the period of the specific gaming state or an approximate number of pachinko balls. If it is not the closing time based on the comparison with the income and expenditure data of the pachinko gaming machine, the awarded ball paid out is calculated using the calculating means, and the result is recorded in the storage carrier issued by the output means. The conventional device is configured to do so.

[0005] However, the record carrier after the issuance simply records the number of pachinko balls to be compensated, and has no relationship with the player to be compensated. Anyone can use it freely. If a third party uses a record carrier at the will of the player to be compensated,
No problem. This is the case where a third party uses the record carrier obtained from the player at a later date. However, some players have lost or stolen the record carrier. In such a case, if the record carrier obtained by picking up or stealing can be used freely by a third party, the original purpose of loss compensation cannot be achieved. It is the responsibility of the player to lose or be stolen, and there is no fault in the pachinko parlor. But,
If the player loses the specific game state he or she has obtained, the player may not feel comfortable with the pachinko game hall anyway. Leaving such a situation as it is is not an advantage in the sales policy of pachinko amusement arcades.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for effectively compensating for a loss caused when a store closes before a specific game state has occurred. A management system for a pachinko game hall is provided, so that a player can have a good impression on the pachinko game hall and increase the ability to attract customers.

[0007]

In order to solve the above-described problems, the inventor came up with the idea that if the store closing time did not come, the prize balls paid out were calculated and managed (stored). ) In addition, at another occasion, the pachinko gaming machine or another pachinko gaming machine may be used to play the game again by using the prize ball, and the pachinko gaming center issues the pachinko gaming machine upon application of the player. If the player specific medium is used, the prize ball and the player can be linked and managed, so that effective compensation can be provided to the player to be compensated. The present invention has been made from such a viewpoint. The specific contents will be explained again in the section.

A pachinko game center management system according to the first aspect of the present invention is adapted to convert a plurality of pachinko games into a specific game state in which the probability of winning is increased when a predetermined condition is satisfied. And a computer for managing the state of the balance of pachinko balls in each pachinko gaming machine in association with the player identification information read from the player identification medium via the player identification medium reader, and a computer for driving these. And a drive power supply, and other devices and means as necessary. And the feature is that a timer means for notifying that the store close time has come, and a game stop means for receiving all the pachinko gaming machines receiving a store closing signal output by the clock means, and The prize ball counting means for counting the number of prize balls paid out by the prize ball payout means of the pachinko gaming machine, and the number of prize balls not paid out due to the closing time in the specific game state. Compensation ball calculating means for calculating the number of prize balls to be compensated by subtracting the number of prize balls counted by the counting means before the closing time from the number of prize balls, and calculating the result of the compensation ball calculation means in the game. Storage means for storing in association with the user identification information.

According to such a configuration, when the store closes time in the middle of the specific game state, the game stop means operates and thereafter it becomes impossible to pay out the prize balls. If left as it is, the player will be hurt. Therefore, if the store closing time has not come, the number of awarded balls actually paid out is subtracted from the number of awarded balls considered to have been paid out, thereby calculating the number of awarded balls to be paid out when the store closing time comes. The actually paid out prize ball count is stored in the storage means in association with the player identification information, assuming that the calculation result is a player loss, and the loss is compensated for later. The method of compensating for the loss is determined in advance by the pachinko game hall. For example, it is good to give the player the same number of pachinko balls as the number of compensation balls at another occasion, or to exchange them for prizes based on a predetermined conversion rate. By compensating for the loss, the player's impression of the pachinko game hall can be improved, and the next visit to the store can be expected. This is a great advantage in terms of pachinko playground business policies.

[0010] In this specification, "special game state"
Means, as described in the background section, for example,
It refers to a jackpot state (special prize state) or a probability fluctuation state, that is, a state in which the probability of becoming a jackpot is high, and a state in which a lot of winnings (a lot of prize balls are obtained) can be expected. The "predetermined conditions" differ depending on the type of pachinko gaming machine. For example, in a digital pachinko machine in which a portion of an accessory (a winning port with a special mechanism) is a digital symbol, the winning symbols are all the same. That, when a pachinko ball enters a specific hole (V zone) inside a case-shaped accessory in the center of the machine, a wing that wins a jackpot first wins the V zone. The right thing that the next big jackpot is likely to occur when going through the process means that it has occurred. The specific game state starts under the predetermined condition and ends when a predetermined time has elapsed.

[0011] Further, in the present specification, the "player specifying medium" refers to any medium capable of recording player identification information or the like for specifying (identifying) a player, and as such, For example, there are an electric medium such as a magnetic card, an IC (IC) card, a floppy disk and a compact disk, and a mechanical medium such as a punch card and a split card. Further, "player-specific medium reading device" refers to any device for reading player identification information and the like recorded on a player-specific medium, such as a card reader for reading information from a magnetic card. And a reading device for reading information from a hole or cut in a punch card. Similarly, "timekeeping means"
It means all means capable of at least notifying the closing time. Examples of such means include a device utilizing a timer function of a computer and a counter IC (integrated circuit). Further, "game stop means" refers to all means that can convert a pachinko gaming machine from a normal state to a state where it can not be played and return to a normal state if necessary, as such, For example, there are a computer that controls a pachinko gaming machine and a switch that cuts off driving power of the pachinko gaming machine.

[0012] In this specification, the "predetermined number of prize balls" refers to the number of prize balls normally paid out when a specific game state is completely played from start to finish without interruption. The number of prize balls differs depending on the model, but currently,
It is around 25 hundred pieces. Further, the “storage unit” may be any unit that can store the number of compensated balls and the player identification information as the calculation result in association with each other. If it is such a thing, the place and form where it is installed, such as one built into a pachinko gaming machine, one built into a peripheral device of a pachinko gaming machine such as an indicator lamp, and one that is also used as a management computer There are no restrictions.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the features of the first to third aspects, the pachinko game arcade management system further comprises a display for displaying the calculation result of the compensation ball calculating means to a player. Means is provided.

With this configuration, it is possible to inform the player of the possessed ball (the number of compensated balls) when the store close time comes, and allow the player to confirm the display. Thereby, the player knows that he / she has not lost due to the closing time, and is relieved and further deepens the trust in the pachinko game hall. In this specification, the "display means" may be any means that can inform the player of at least the number of compensating balls, and as such, for example, above each pachinko gaming machine There are display lamps attached to the printer and tickets printed by a printer.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, in addition to the features of the first or second aspect, the pachinko gaming center management system further comprises any one of the plurality of pachinko gaming machines after opening the store later. By causing the specific medium reading device to read the player specific medium, the calculation result is read from the storage means based on the read player identification information, and the number of award balls according to the calculation result is determined by the award ball payout means. These pachinko gaming machines are configured to pay out.

Although there are various methods for compensating for the loss of the player, here, after the store is opened at a later date, the number of compensating balls stored based on the player identification information is read, and this is read by the player. The game can be restarted as a possession ball. The game may be resumed on the next day or later. Further, the same pachinko gaming machine or a different pachinko gaming machine may be used.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a pachinko game arcade management system according to any one of the first to third aspects, further comprising a prize payout device for paying out a prize to the management system. And a player identification medium reading device for reading player identification information from a player identification medium to the prize payout device, and the calculation unit stored in the storage unit based on the player identification information. The calculation result is read, and according to a predetermined conversion rate, the calculation result is converted and the number of prizes to be calculated is calculated. And a payout means configured as described above.

As a method of compensating for the loss of the player, a method of giving a prize to the player is adopted here. That is,
A prize payout device is connected to the management system, and prizes are paid out according to the number of compensation balls at a fixed conversion rate. For example, when chocolate is used as a prize, when the player inserts the player specifying medium into the player specifying medium reading device, the prize dispensing device calculates the number of chocolates to be paid out from the number of compensation balls and pays them out. . The calculated fraction may be processed by paying out a small gift such as gum prepared separately from the chocolate.
Further, a part of the number of compensating balls may be replaced with a prize, and the rest may be provided with pachinko balls.

Further, a player specific medium reading device 32 for reading various data from the player specific medium 21 inserted from the card insertion slot 16 and a prize ball for detecting a prize ball to the specific prize hole 12. A detection sensor 33, a count sensor (counting means) 34 for counting the number of winning balls to the variable winning device 11, a prize ball counting sensor (prize ball counting means) for counting the number of winning balls paid out by winning.
A card return button 35 for terminating the game and paying out the player specific medium is connected to the CPU 24 via the buffer 3. Reference numeral 40 denotes a computer (player management device) for managing player identification information. The computer 40 according to the present embodiment is also in charge of timekeeping means, game stop means, and prize inventory control of a prize dispensing machine (prize dispensing means) 45 described later.

On the output side of the CPU 25, on the other hand, a liquid crystal display screen 42 for displaying calculation results (to be described later) and the like, and a prize ball payout device (prize ball payout means) 43 for paying out prize balls to a player. And a game ball lending device (game ball lending means) 44 for lending the game ball to the player.
Connect via 1 It is preferable that a backup power supply circuit 46 is connected to the liquid crystal display screen 42 so that the result of calculation or the like can be displayed while being stored and held during a power failure.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 while referring to FIGS. A player who starts a game inserts his / her player identification medium 22 into the card insertion slot 16 to indicate that he / she is a player having player identification information of the pachinko game hall (S1). ). The player identification medium reading device 32 that has detected the insertion detects the player identification medium 22.
And reads the stored player identification information (tentatively “ABC”) and sends a player identification signal indicating ABC to the CPU 25 via the buffer 38. AB
Upon receiving the identification signal of C, the CPU 25 accesses the computer (player management device) 40 and searches whether or not the player identification information ABC is registered (S).
2). As a result of the search, if ABC is not registered,
Proceeding to S12, the player specific medium reading device 32 is reversed to return the player specific medium 22. At this time, the fact that the user is not registered may be displayed on the liquid crystal display screen 42.

On the other hand, as a result of the search, if the registration of ABC has been confirmed, the process proceeds to S4, where the presence or absence of a compensation ball (described later) is queried to the computer 40 (S4). As a result of the query,
If there is a compensating ball, the game ball according to the number is paid out to the game ball lending device 44 (S5). After the payment, the computer 40 clears the data on the compensation ball (S6). At the same time, a game processing subroutine (S7) based on the program registered in the ROM 26
Execute If there is no compensating ball as a result of the inquiry, the process proceeds to a game ball lending subroutine (S13), and the game ball is lent according to the player's selection (use of a prepaid card, use of cash, etc.).

In the game processing subroutine (S7), general winning openings 14, 14,. . . The prize ball is paid to the prize ball payout device 43, the lost ball that has not been won is processed, and the game results are sequentially stored in the RAM 27. S7 continues until the player operates the card return button 18 (S8). When the player operates the card return button 18, the game ball cannot be fired even if the handle 9 is turned. Further, the player-specific medium reading device 32 is reversed so that the player-specific medium 2
1 is returned to the player (S12). This ends the game.

Returning to S7, the description will be continued. When a game ball wins in a specific winning opening, a winning ball detection sensor 3 that detects this.
3 sends a winning signal to the CPU 25. C receiving the winning signal
The PU 25 randomly rotates the variable display device 10 for a predetermined time. When the identification symbol indicates a winning combination (the same identification symbol or the like is arranged in one row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally) when the rotation is completed, the variable display device 10 outputs a winning signal. Upon receiving the hit signal, the CPU 25 switches the gaming state from the general state to the special prize state (specific gaming state), and opens and closes the opening / closing door 48 of the variable winning device 11 for a predetermined time. The count sensor 34 counts the game balls that have entered the variable winning device 11 when it is open. C receiving the count signal from the count sensor 34
The PU 25 calculates the number of prize balls according to the counted number,
The prize ball according to the calculation result is paid out by the prize ball payout device 43. Unless a hit signal is received, the CPU 25 remains in the general state.

In the present embodiment, the number of prize balls of 10 is assigned to one count, and the open / close door 48 is set so that an average of 250 counts are made until one special prize state ends. Opening and closing time was set. Therefore, the prize ball payout device 43 pays out an average of 25 hundred (250 × 10) prize balls in one special prize state. The number of award balls to be paid out is counted by the award ball counting means 35 and stored in the RAM 27. In the present embodiment, “a predetermined number of prize balls (planned number of prize balls)” serving as a reference for calculating a compensation ball described later.
This "25 hundred" is adopted. The expected prize balls are
This is stored in the RAM 27.

The CPU 25 in the special prize state continues the special prize state while checking the presence or absence of the interrupt signal, and returns to S7 when the state ends (S9, S10). Upon receiving the interrupt signal, the CPU 25 executes a backup processing subroutine (S11). Here, the interrupt signal means that the pachinko machine 1,
1. . . (Game stop signal) for preventing all of the above from being played. The computer 40 having both the functions of the clocking means and the game stop means performs the closing time measurement and the output of the game stop signal. CP in S11
U25 first functions as a compensation sphere calculating means. That is,
The award ball number actually paid out by the award ball payout device 43 up to that point (counted by the award ball detection sensor 35) is subtracted from the expected award ball number read from the RAM 27, and the difference ball number (compensation ball number) is subtracted. Is calculated (S15). Next, the CPU 25
Stores the number of compensation balls in the computer 40 as storage means in association with the previous player identification information (S16,
S17).

Here, the storage in association with the player identification information will be described with a specific example.
Here, it is assumed that the player having the player identification information of ABC in the above example is playing a game. During the play, the special prize state starts, and the prize balls accompanying this are paid out,
The prize ball count sensor 35 indicates that 1,000 prize balls have already been paid out. Here, the store closing time comes, and the computer 40 sends an interrupt signal to the CPU 25 accordingly. The CPU 25 calculates the number of compensated balls of 1,500 by subtracting the already paid out number of thousands from the expected number of balls of 2,500, read from the ROM 26. Next, the number of compensating balls of 1,500 is sent to the computer 40, and this is sent to the player identification information AB.
It is stored in association with C. As a result, the computer 40 stores that the player ABC has 1,500 compensation balls. In this way, by associating the number of compensation balls with the player identification information, it is possible to know which player has how many compensation balls at the closing time. This is the basis for compensation to the player.

The number of prize balls that would have actually been paid out if the store closing time had not been reached may be larger than the planned number of prize balls, or conversely, may be smaller. If it is large, the pachinko parlor will lose, and if it is small, the player will lose. As long as the player loses, it may not be a complete compensation. However, since the player can receive compensation (service) according to the number of compensation balls at a later date, there is almost no awareness that the store closed and lost. There is no, if any, loss from closing the store. Conversely, there may be cases in which it is advantageous. The player will be satisfied with the compensation and will visit the pachinko hall. This is very important for the sales policy of pachinko amusement arcades.

Next, a specific compensation method will be described. The compensation performed based on the number of compensation balls described above is basically determined freely at the pachinko game hall.
In the present embodiment, a method of causing the player to play the game again and a method of giving the prize to the player using the prize payout device 45 are employed. The replay is related to S4 shown in FIG. 3 described above. In other words, a method of supplying a game ball according to the number of compensation balls possessed by the player who starts the game again at a later date is a method based on the re-game. In the above example, since the player has 1,500 compensation balls, the player can obtain 1,500 game balls paid out by the game ball rental device 43 when starting the game. . This completes the compensation for closing the store.

On the other hand, the prize is compensated by causing a prize exchange (prize dispensing means) 45 to pay out the prize. As shown in FIG. 5, the prize exchange 45 includes a window 51 for displaying various prizes, a display screen 52 for displaying various information, and a card insertion port 53 for inserting a player specific medium. And a numeric keypad 54 for inputting numbers, a pachinko ball insertion slot 55 for inserting a pachinko ball, and a prize take-out port 56 for a player to take out a prize. This prize exchange 45
It is electrically connected to a computer 40 for managing prize stock.

Here, the operation procedure of the premium exchange 45 will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the player having the compensation ball inserts his / her player specific medium into the card insertion slot 53 (S21). The premium exchange 45 uses the player identification information (ABC) from the player specific medium.
Is read, and the data stored in the computer 40 is searched based on this (S22). If it is determined that the player has the player identification information as a result of the search, S2
Then, if it is determined that the player is not such a player, that fact is displayed on the display screen 52, and then the player specific medium is returned (S23, S32, S31). In S24, the number of compensating balls is checked in conjunction with the operation in S23. As a result of this confirmation work, if the number of compensating balls is zero,
Return the card after indicating that (S32, S3
1).

If the number of compensating balls is found as a result of the checking operation, the number is displayed on the display screen 52 (S25). Here, it is assumed that the number of compensating balls is fifteen hundred as in the previous example.
By looking at the displayed 1,500, the user selects a prize desired from the prizes displayed in the window 51, and inputs the prize number and the number from the numeric keypad 54 (S26). At this time, every time one prize is selected, the number of balls according to the exchange ratio of the prize is subtracted from the number of compensation balls, and the number of remaining balls is displayed on the display screen 51. That is, assuming that the exchange ratio of one cigarette is equivalent to 100 game balls, when the player inputs the premium number of cigarettes and inputs "1" as the number, the display which was originally 1,500 is displayed. 1,000
The number becomes one hundred, and when "2" is input as the number, it becomes 13,100. When the selection of the prize is completed and the effect is input from the numeric keypad 54, the selected prize is paid out (S2).
7). After paying out the prize, the storage of the number of compensating balls is cleared (S28). The player takes out the prize from the prize outlet 56. Reference numeral 55 denotes a ball insertion slot for inserting a game ball for exchanging for a premium.

The prize exchange 45 is managed by the computer 40 with the number of prizes stored therein. That is, when the prize is paid out, the number of stocks is also subtracted accordingly, so that the prize stock in the prize exchange 45 can be always grasped (S29). In the rounding processing of the number of compensation balls, when the number of balls of the prize having the smallest exchange ratio becomes smaller than that of the prize, the number is rounded down (S30). Finally, the player-specific medium is returned (S31), and the prize compensation ends.

[0040]

When the pachinko game center management system according to the present invention is used, the loss incurred by the player can be effectively compensated for when the store closes before the specific game state that has occurred is completed. As a result, the player's impression of the pachinko game hall can be improved, and the ability to attract customers increases.
