It is assumed that the result of the jackpot lottery can be shifted to the jackpot, and one jackpot signal is output when the pachinko machine 1 enters the jackpot state. Accordingly, the information display device 1 can input and accumulate the jackpot signal of the pachinko machine 3.

The set value signal output from the gaming computer 63 is supplied to the set value signal terminal of the information terminal plate 61. The set value signal indicates the set position of the probability setting switch 71 for setting the jackpot lottery probability in advance.
When the probability setting switch 71 is set to “1”, the set value signal is set to the “1” signal state, and when set to “2”, the set value signal is set to the “2” signal state, and is set to “3”. , The signal state becomes "3". Therefore, the information display device 1 can input the installation value of the jackpot lottery probability of the pachinko machine 3.

Next, the processing executed by the control unit 41 will be described. 4 is a flowchart of a data collection processing routine, FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a determination criterion setting processing routine, and FIG. 6 is a game state database 7.
5, FIG. 7 is a flowchart of a game state database date update processing routine, FIG. 8 is a flowchart of a setting change presence / absence determination processing routine, and FIG. 9 is a flowchart of a display processing routine.

The data collection process shown in FIG. First, it is determined whether it is every hour (S100). The judgment of every hour is that the time of the clock 39 is 0.
00 such as 0:00:00, 01:00:00, etc.
When the minute reaches 00 seconds, it is determined to be every hour. That is, it is determined that the current time is 24 times a day.
This is because the setting change of the probability setting switch 71 is normally performed only once a day during a period other than during business hours. In addition, the purpose is to obtain one or more opportunities to read the probability set value.

If it is every hour, a probability setting value is input next (S110). The input of the probability set value is performed by inputting a set value signal from the pachinko machine 3 via the input interface 43 and the information terminal board 61. The probability setting value is such that the setting position of the probability setting switch 71 is “1”.
In the case of “1”, “1” is read.

Next, the set value is stored together with the time data (S120). In this processing, the probability set value read from the pachinko machine 3 is stored in the game state database 75 together with the time data at the time of reading. R
Game state database 75 configured in AM 37
6, as shown in FIG. 6, today, the previous day, two days ago,
Data of the change of the set value of the previous day and 24 from 9:00
The value of the set value at every hour until 0:00, the value of the number of starts, and the number of big hits are stored.

If it is not every hour, the processing of S110 and S120 is not performed, and if it is every hour, S110 and S1
After the processing with step 20, it is determined whether the next start signal has been input (S130). When the start signal is input, the number of starts of the game state database 75 is incremented (S140), and it is determined whether or not the next big hit signal is input (S150). When the jackpot signal is input, the number of jackpots in the game state database 75 is incremented, and the data collection processing routine is temporarily terminated.

According to the data collection processing described above, the probability set value of the lottery probability of the pachinko machine 3 is read every hour, recorded over time, and the integrated value of the number of starts per day is calculated. The accumulated value of the number of jackpots is recorded for four days from today to three days before.

The processing for setting the criteria shown in FIG.
, So that it is always repeatedly started. When this process is started, it is first determined whether it is 9:00 (S2).
00), if it is not 9:00, this routine is once ended as it is. Input of time data at 9:00 is performed from the clock 39.

If it is 9:00, the start number input processing of the previous day is performed (S210), and it is determined whether the number is 10 or more (S220). The number of starts on the previous day is shown in Fig. 6.
Is input from the number-of-starts storage area 77 of the previous day in the game state database 75 shown in FIG. In the example of FIG.
000 "is read.

If the start number of the previous day is 10 or more, the data at 18:00 of the previous day is set as the judgment reference value. The determination reference value is referred to in a process described later, and is used when determining whether the lottery probability has been changed between yesterday and today.

If the number of starts on the previous day is less than 10, the data at 18:00 two days before is set as a judgment reference value (S240). According to the above-described determination criterion setting process, if the number of starts on the previous day is 10 or more, it is determined that business has been performed on the previous day, and 18
The set value at hour 00 is set as the judgment reference value. This one
8:00 is the maximum prosperity of pachinko halls,
This is the time when the setting of the probability setting switch 71 is least likely to be changed. Therefore, the set value at 18:00 on the previous day is set as the judgment reference value.

Since the number of starts on the previous day is less than ten times, it is determined that the previous day was closed, and the set value two days ago is used as the reference value for determination. This is to prevent an erroneous determination from being made, for example, when the probability setting switch 71 is changed on the day before the holiday and the probability setting switch 71 is returned on the holiday.

The process of updating the game state database date shown in FIG.
When this process is started, it is determined whether it is 00:00 (S300), and if it is 00:00, a process of shifting the data of the game state database 75 to one day before is performed (S310). As a result, today's data moves to the previous day's area, the previous day's data moves to the area two days ago, and the data two days ago moves to the area three days ago. Today's area is cleared.

By this processing, the contents of the game state database 75 are changed in synchronization with the change of the date. The CPU 33 performs the setting change presence / absence determination processing in FIG.
It is always started repeatedly. When this process is started, it is first determined whether the current time is between 8:00 and 18:00 (S400). 1 from 8:00
If it is out of the range at 8:00, this routine is once ended as it is. As a result, after 18:00, it is not necessary to determine whether there is a change in the set value.
The time is the maximum prosperity, and thereafter, the set value is not changed until the store closes, and no trouble occurs.

If it is determined that the current time is between 8:00 and 18:00 (S400), the current set value is input (S405). The current settings are
The setting is performed by inputting the set value signal output from the pachinko machine 3 via the input interface 43. Next, a judgment reference value is input (S410). As the determination reference value, the value set by the processing in S230 or 240 in FIG. 5 is read.

Next, it is determined whether or not the current set value is the same as the determination reference value (S420). If the current set value is the same, it is determined that there is no change in the set value (S430). A determination is made (S440). For example, when the set value at 18:00 of the previous day was “2”, if the current set value is “2”, it is determined that the set value is not changed. The determination result of S430 or S440 is:
This is written in today's set value change presence / absence storage area 79 of the game state database 75 shown in FIG. S430
Writes "No" data, and S440 writes "Yes" data.

It should be noted that today's set value change presence / absence storage area 7
After 18:00, the contents of No. 9 are not changed until 8:00 of the next day. As a result, the contents of today's set value change presence / absence storage area 79 at 18:00 are stored in FIG.
In the game state database date update process, the game is shifted to the day before the date without error.

As a result, the set value of the previous day at the time of maximum prosperity is compared with the set value of the next day. Therefore, the time during which a large number of game players were actually playing a game can be used as a comparison target, and meaningful information can be provided. The display processing of FIG.
It is always started repeatedly by the PU 33. When this process is started, first, the setting value change presence / absence data is input (S500). The setting value change presence / absence data is input from today's setting value change presence / absence storage area 79 of the game state database 75 shown in FIG.

Next, the setting change presence / absence display of the previous day and two days before is displayed (S510). The previous day's setting change presence / absence data is input from the previous day's setting value change presence / absence storage area 81 of the game state database 75 shown in FIG. 6, and as shown in FIG.
Display either “no change” or “changed”.
If there is "no data" in the setting value change presence / absence storage area 81 of the previous day, "no change" is displayed. If there is "present" data in the setting value change presence / absence storage area 81 of the previous day, "present" is displayed.

The setting change presence / absence two days ago is input from the setting value change presence / absence storage area 85 two days ago in the game state database 75 shown in FIG. 6 and, as shown in FIG. Either "no change" or "changed" is displayed in the setting change display area 87.

Next, a determination as to whether or not the current set value has been changed is displayed (S520). In this process, the data read from the current setting value change presence / absence storage area 79 of the game state database 75 is displayed in the today's setting change display area 91. Next, a start number input process is performed (S53).
0) Then, a start count display process is performed on the previous day and all day before two days before (S540), and a current start count display process is executed (S550). As the current number of starts, data stored in today's number-of-starts storage area 93 of the game state database 75 is read. The current number of start times is displayed in today's start number display area 95 of the display 9.

The number of start times displayed on the previous day and the day before two days are displayed in the start number storage area 7 on the previous day and all day before two days.
This is performed by reading data from the numbers 7 and 97 and displaying the data numerically in the start number display areas 99 and 101 two days before and two days before the display.

Next, a jackpot number input process is performed (S56).
0), and display the number of jackpots two days before and two days before (S
570), the current number of jackpots is displayed (S58).
0), this routine is temporarily ended. For the number of jackpots, data stored in today's jackpot count storage area 103 of the game state database 75 is read. The current jackpot count display is performed by displaying data in numbers in the jackpot count display area 105 of the display 9 today.

The display of the number of jackpots before the previous day and two days before is displayed in the storage areas 107 and 109 for the number of jackpots before the previous day and two days before
From the display 9 and the day before the display 9
This is performed by displaying data in the number of large hits display areas 111 and 113 of the day before the day.
