In a game arcade such as a pachinko hall, various events in which a player side can enjoy a privilege are implemented in order to differentiate the game arcade from other game arcades and enhance the effect of attracting customers. In this type of event, a system is generally used in which a service point is provided to the player every time the player satisfies a predetermined point providing condition, and various services can be received in accordance with the number of accumulated points. It is becoming. Naturally, the gaming site side plans and determines the specific contents, the event holding time, the period, and the like of the above-mentioned point giving conditions.
[0003]
However, an event in which a service point is provided when a predetermined target value (for example, in the case of a pachinko game machine, a target value for the number of special prizes or difference balls) is achieved by a game in a gaming machine. It is inevitable that the player may not be able to participate due to circumstances of the player (whether there is time or money). For this reason, the number of players who can participate in the event is limited, and there is a problem in that it is not possible to sufficiently expect an increase in the customer acquisition rate by holding the event. Further, in order to prevent the event from becoming rigid, changes in target values and the like must be made on a daily basis, and there is a problem in that the burden on the game room staff increases.
[0004]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a service suited to the situation of the player and to improve the customer attraction rate, It is an object of the present invention to provide a management system for a game arcade that can reduce the burden on members.

[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 manages the gaming machine data that fluctuates with the game in the gaming machine, and provides the player in the amusement arcade according to the gaming situation. In a management system for a game arcade having a privilege providing means for providing a privilege,
For the specific gaming machine data among the gaming machine data aggregated by the management means, provided with a target value registering means capable of registering a target value reached within a predetermined period on the player side,
The privilege providing means determines whether or not the target value registered by the target value registering means has been achieved for each player based on the aggregated data by the management means, and determines whether the player has achieved the target value. On the other hand, it is configured to provide a privilege having a value corresponding to the target value.
[0006]
According to this configuration, the management means aggregates gaming machine data that fluctuates with a game in the gaming machine. The player registers, via the target value registering means, a target value within a predetermined period (for example, within the business day of the game arcade of the day) for the specific gaming machine data of the gaming machine data thus aggregated. it can. Then, when the player has achieved the above-mentioned target value registered by himself / herself in response to the game at the gaming machine, this is determined by the privilege providing means, and the target value is given to the player. Will be provided.
[0007]
In short, the player can register the target value according to his or her own convenience (time margin, financial margin, etc.). As a result, the player can play the game in which the benefit can be provided at his own pace, and as a result, can provide the player with services suited to the circumstances of the player. As a result, it will be possible to improve the rate of attracting customers. Further, since the value of the privilege that can be enjoyed by the player changes according to the level of the target value set by the player himself, the act of registering the target value itself has a game property. From this aspect, it is possible to contribute to an increase in the customer attracting rate. Moreover, since the registration of the attainment target value is performed on the player side, there is no need for the gaming hall employee to be involved in the registration, and the burden can be reduced.
[0008]
The invention according to claim 2 has a structure in which a member database is constructed for players who are registered as members in the game arcade, and the privilege providing means is configured to identify each player based on the member database. It is.
According to this configuration, it is possible to easily specify the player to whom the privilege is to be provided, and it is possible to expect an increase in the customer acquisition rate due to an increase in the number of members.
[0009]
According to a third aspect of the present invention, the target value registering means is configured to register a new target value from that time when the player has achieved the target value.
According to this configuration, even after achieving the target value registered at the beginning of the game and once receiving the provision of the privilege, it is possible to receive the provision of the privilege again by registering the new target value again. Therefore, it is useful for increasing the player's willingness to continue the game.
[0010]
In the case of adopting such a configuration according to the third aspect, as in the invention according to the fourth aspect, the privilege provided according to the achievement of the attainment target value increases as the attainment target value increases. It is desirable to set such that the value becomes progressively higher.
According to this configuration, a case in which a relatively high target value is achieved and a case in which a target equivalent to the relatively high target value is finally achieved by repeating achievement of a lower target value a plurality of times. When compared with, the player can receive a privilege of relatively higher value in the former case. That is, in a state where a high target value is registered from the beginning of the game, the possibility of achieving the target value is low, but when the target is achieved, a privilege with a relatively high value can be obtained. As a result, the act of registering the attainment target value itself has a certain degree of gambling, and from this aspect, it is possible to contribute to an improvement in the customer attracting rate.
[0011]
According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the target value registering means is configured to be able to register the attained target value for each specific gaming machine group such as a type or a model of the gaming machine.
According to this configuration, the service to the player using the attainment target value can be performed in detail.
[0012]
In the invention according to claim 6, a plurality of types of reaching target values are prepared in advance so that they can be disclosed to the player side, and the target value registering means can select any of the prepared reaching target values from among the prepared examples of reaching target values. The target value is configured to be registered.
According to this configuration, it is possible to simplify the operation of registering the target value on the player side.
[0013]
In the invention according to claim 7, the privilege is obtained by adding service points to which various services are provided according to the number of points. According to this configuration, the diversification of service contents provided to the player is provided. Can be easily realized.

In short, according to the configuration of the present embodiment described above, the following operations and effects can be obtained.
A gaming member playing a game with the pachinko gaming machine 1 can register the target value of the number of special prizes and the number of difference balls during the business day of the day on the management computer 6 side through the display panel 2a of the taima ball lending machine 2. Then, when the gaming member achieves the target value registered by himself / herself in response to the game at the pachinko gaming machine 1, a service point having a value corresponding to the target value is given to the gaming member. .
[0057]
For this reason, the gaming member can register an attainment target value according to his or her own convenience (time margin, financial margin, etc.). As a result, the gaming member can play the game in which the service point can be provided at his / her own pace, and as a result, can provide the gaming member with services suited to the circumstances of the gaming member. As a result, it is possible to improve the customer acquisition rate. In addition, since the number of service points provided as described above, that is, the value of the privilege that can be enjoyed by the player, changes according to the level of the target value set by the player itself, the registration of the target value is registered. The game itself is brought to the act itself, and from this aspect, it is possible to contribute to the improvement of the customer attracting rate. Moreover, since the registration of the attainment target value is performed on the gaming member side, the pachinko hall employee does not need to be involved in the registration, and the burden can be reduced.
[0058]
The service of giving service points when the target value is achieved as described above is configured based on the member database of gaming members registered as members on the pachinko hall side. Game members can be easily specified, and an increase in the number of game members can be expected to improve the customer collection rate.
[0059]
In addition, even if the gaming member once achieves the target value, the new target value from that point can be registered, so the target value registered at the beginning of the game is achieved and the service point By registering a new target value again even after receiving once, it becomes possible to receive the service point, which is useful in increasing the motivation of the gaming member to continue the game.
[0060]
In this case, the number of service points granted as described above is set to increase progressively as the target value is increased, that is, the privilege provided according to the achievement of the target value is set to As the target value is set to become progressively higher as the target value becomes higher, the case where the relatively high target value is achieved and the case where the lower target value is achieved are repeated several times to achieve the final value When the comparatively high target value is compared with the case where the same goal is achieved, the former case is given relatively more service points to the gaming member. Specifically, as can be understood from the data table of FIG. 6, for example, when the target is achieved with the target value of the number of special prizes set to “30” from the beginning, “70” service points are given. You. On the other hand, when the target value is set to “10” times and the target value is achieved three times, “60” service points are awarded in total.
[0061]
That is, in a state where a high target value is registered from the beginning of the game, the possibility of achieving the target value is low, but when the target is achieved, a privilege with a relatively high value can be obtained. As a result, the act of registering the attainment target value itself has a certain degree of gambling, and from this aspect, it is possible to contribute to an improvement in the customer attracting rate.
[0062]
Also, as shown in the data table of FIG. 6, a plurality of examples of the target values are prepared, and as shown in FIGS. 7C and 7E, the target values thus prepared are registered. It is disclosed to the gaming member at the operation stage, and it is configured so that any desired target value can be registered from the disclosure example, so that the registration operation of the target value on the gaming member side is simplified. become able to.
[0063]
Since the service points to which various services are provided according to the number of points are added as the privilege when the target is achieved, the diversification of the service contents provided to the gaming members can be easily realized.
[0064]
