  In addition, the CPU 102 of the system controller 100 of the present embodiment uses member lending completion information (see FIG. 6) or issued lending as value information for used games transmitted from the card unit 3 every time lending processing or issuing lending processing is performed. Based on the reception of the completion information (not shown), the card unit 3 is identified from the device ID included in the member loan completion information and the issued loan completion information, and is associated with the device ID in the data table for each card unit. Each card unit is updated by adding to the total usage frequency and the V card usage frequency or the membership card usage frequency, the level of the usage game value specified from the member loan completion information and the issued loan completion information. Aggregation processing is performed to total the total use frequency, which is the value of the game value used for every three.

  In addition, the CPU 102 of the system controller 100 according to the present embodiment transmits the total usage count and the actual number of balls lent in the data table for each card unit to the management server 140 as a count result at a predetermined time after the end of business. Perform the result transmission process.

  Here, based on FIG. 6, a brief description will be given of the status of various data exchanges performed in response to the acceptance of the membership card between the card unit 3, the system controller 100, and the membership management computer 120 in the present embodiment. To explain, when a member card is inserted into the card insertion slot 309 of the card unit 3, the card reader / writer 327 reads the member ID, member card ID, frequency, deposit (prepaid) ID from the inserted member card. Is temporarily stored, and a license request including a membership card ID, frequency, device ID, and deposit (prepaid) ID is transmitted to the system controller 100.

  Based on the reception of the use permission request, the system controller 100 is based on the received membership card ID, the remaining frequency verification registered corresponding to the membership card ID and the payment ID, and whether or not the unusable flag is registered. Authentication is performed, and if the authentication is OK, a use permission / rejection determination process of returning a use permission to the card unit 3 (card reader / writer 327) is performed.

  When the card unit 3 (card reader / writer 327) receives a license, the inserted member card can be used, and the read member ID and frequency are output to the control unit 328. In step 328, the communication unit 334 transmits a member card acceptance notification including the member ID read from the member card accepted to the member management computer 120 and the device ID.

  Upon receiving the membership card acceptance notification, the member management computer 120 determines whether or not the transmitted member ID exists in the member information table. If there is, the member management computer 120 determines the point corresponding to the member ID. After adding and updating 100 points, a member card take-in response (not shown) is returned.

  Based on the reception of the member card take-in response, the control unit 328 displays the frequency output from the card reader / writer 327 and stored on the display unit 312 and the frequency display unit (not shown) provided in the pachinko machine 2. Then, it waits for a pressing operation of a lending button switch (not shown) provided in the vicinity of the frequency display section. When the member card discharge response is received, the control unit 328 discharges and returns the received member card from the member card insertion slot 309.

  When the player presses the lending button switch in this operation waiting stage, the control unit 328 is output from the pachinko machine 2 after determining whether the remaining number is “0” or not. The signal for instructing the payout of the pachinko balls of the number of unit balls corresponding to the number of times is set as the lending unit when there is a signal output indicating that the lending is possible. The lending process of repeatedly outputting until the frequency reaches a certain level is executed. Specifically, if the number of unit balls corresponding to one frequency is 23 balls, for example, the control unit 328 outputs 23 pulses corresponding to the 23 balls to the pachinko machine 2 and corresponds to the one frequency. If the output of 23 pulses is repeated for a lending unit, for example, 5 times, 5 times, a total of 23 pulses × 5 = 115 pulses are output to the pachinko machine 2.

  When the number of outputs of the signal for instructing these payouts reaches the number of times corresponding to the magnitude of the frequency set as the lending unit, the frequency at which the control unit 328 is set as the lending unit (usage frequency) Is output to the card reader / writer 327, the usage number is subtracted from the remaining number temporarily stored in the card reader / writer 327, and the member card ID, payment (prepaid) ID, device ID and usage are used. The member lending completion information including the frequency is transmitted to the system controller 100, the remaining frequency of the member card managed by the system controller 100 is subtracted and updated, and each card unit corresponding to the device ID is updated. The usage count is updated by adding the usage count to the total usage count and membership card usage count stored in the data table. De unit specific data table is updated.

  In the card unit 3 of the present embodiment, when the remaining frequency becomes 0 degrees due to these games, specifically, when a member card whose remaining frequency is 0 frequency is being inserted, 302, a banknote or a coin is inserted from the coin insertion slot 303, and an additional deposit (payment process) can be performed on the member card being inserted.

  Next, replay processing that can be performed when a member card is inserted into the card insertion slot 309 will be described. When replaying is performed, the member player presses the replay switch 319. Then, a password input screen is displayed on the display unit 312 to accept the password, and a storage ball extraction request including the received password, the member ID read from the member card, and the device ID is issued. It is transmitted to the member management computer 120.

  Based on the reception of the storage ball extraction request, the member management computer 120 obtains the personal identification number stored in the member information table corresponding to the member ID included in the storage ball extraction request and the personal identification number included in the storage ball extraction request. When both the PIN numbers match in the verification, an authentication process that allows the use of the member card is performed, and the number of saving balls registered corresponding to the member ID included in the savings ball extraction request is calculated. Extract and return to the control unit 328 of the card unit 3.

  Based on the reply, the control unit 328 calculates the number of replays corresponding to the returned number of saved balls, and displays the calculated number of replays and the number of saved balls on the display unit 312.

  When the replay button 319 is operated at this stage, when the number of replays is present, the pachinko ball 2 is paid out (paid out) from the corresponding pachinko machine 2 as in the case of the lending process, so that the game The person can once again use the number of saving balls acquired in the game for the game.

  When the payout (payout) of the pachinko ball is completed, the control unit 328 displays 1 after subtracting the number of replays displayed on the display unit 312 and the number of saving balls corresponding to the one replay. Is subtracted from the number of saving balls displayed on the display unit 312. Then, refund completion information including the number of payout balls, the member ID, and the device ID of the card unit 3 is transmitted to the member management computer 120.

  Based on the receipt of the withdrawal completion information, the member management computer 120 calculates the number of withdrawal balls included in the withdrawal completion information from the number of saving balls stored in the member information table corresponding to the member ID included in the withdrawal completion information. By subtracting and updating, as long as the number of replays remains, replay can be repeatedly performed.

  Next, the issuance and lending process performed using the visitor card will be briefly described. When the membership card 37 is not being accepted, a low-value bill (1000 yen bill) or a coin (100 yen coin, 500 yen coin) ) Is inserted or inserted, the bill inserted in the bill recognition unit 322 or the coin identification unit 324 is identified or the amount of the inserted coin is identified, and the identified amount is output to the control unit 328. Based on this, the control unit 328 converts the output identification amount into a frequency (a value obtained by dividing the identification amount by 100), and outputs the converted frequency (issue frequency) to the card reader / writer 327.

  The card reader / writer 327 that receives the output of the issue frequency takes the form of issuing the visitor card to the player by recording the issue frequency received on the attached visitor card 38, and The issuance frequency recorded in the visitor card is read again and output to the control unit 328.

  In the control unit 328 that has received the output of the issue frequency from the card reader / writer 327, the output frequency received is stored in the frequency storage area in the RAM 328b, and the frequency display unit (not shown) of the corresponding pachinko machine 2 is stored. The control unit 328 determines whether or not there is a signal indicating that lending is possible and is output from the pachinko machine 2, and if there is a signal that can be lent, the control unit 328 corresponds to the one frequency. After executing the issuance lending process for repeatedly outputting the signal for instructing the payout of the number of pachinko balls of the unit ball lending to the size of all the read frequencies, the control unit 328 performs the issuance lending process. Issuance / lending completion including the provided usage frequency and device ID is output to the card reader / writer 327.

  Then, upon completion of the issuance / lending, the card reader / writer 327 indicates that the issuance / lending process by the visitor card has been performed, and the use frequency (1 degree, 5 degrees or 10 degrees) provided for the issuance / lending process. Is issued to the system controller 100, and the system controller 100 receives the issued / rented completion information. Based on the card unit data table, the usage count included in the issued lending completion information is added to the total usage count associated with the device ID included in the issued lending completion information and the V card usage count. .

The item “Setting Target” for selecting the target game hall and the “Unit Ball Lending” for selecting and setting the unit ball loan number set in the card unit 3 of the game hall selected as the setting object Item, “determination period after resetting” item for selecting and setting the period for performing determination by the determination process again after resetting, and the above-mentioned reference loaned ball number and actual lending again in the determination after resetting An item “black list” is provided for selectively setting whether or not to extract the device ID of the card unit 3 whose difference from the number of balls is out of the predetermined range as a black list.

  Hereinafter, the unit ball lending entered by selecting in the “unit ball lending” item of the unit ball lending setting screen is set in the card unit 3, and the unit ball lending set in the card unit is set. A flow for determining whether the number is good or bad will be described with reference to FIG.

  First, the management server 140 displays the unit ball lending setting screen shown in FIG. 9 on the display device 146, thereby accepting the input of the setting contents of each item including “unit ball lending”.

  Then, in the “Setting target” item, select the unit ball loan information that can specify the unit ball loan number that is input by selecting it in the “Unit ball loan” item on the unit ball loan setting screen. When the selected game hall, for example, “all game halls” is selected, the number of unit balls corresponding to all the game hall IDs stored in the game hall information table is stored and stored. A system installed in a game hall identified from a game hall ID stored in a game hall information table corresponding to the unit ball loan quantity, with unit ball loan information capable of specifying a new unit ball loan quantity It transmits to the controller 100. In the “setting target” item of this embodiment, by selecting the game hall ID of each game hall, it is possible to set individual unit ball lending for each game hall.

  The system controller 100 that has received the unit ball loan information receives each unit ball loan information received from the management server 140 from each card connected to the system controller 100 via the local area network (LAN). Transmit (relay) to unit 3.

  The control unit 328 of the card unit 3 that has received the unit ball loan information transmitted from the system controller 100 stores the unit ball loan number specified from the received unit ball loan information in the RAM 328b.

  In the card unit 3, as described above, in the lending process using the membership card or the issuing lending process using the visitor card, the number of pachinko balls paid out based on the unit ball lending number stored in the RAM 328b. The above-mentioned member lending completion information and issuance lending including information such as the usage frequency and device ID used in the lending process using these membership cards or the issuance lending process using the visitor card are implemented from the corresponding pachinko machine 2 By transmitting the completion information to the system controller 100, the system controller 100 updates the information such as the remaining number in the member master table (only the membership card), and the member lending completion information in the data table for each card unit. And device ID included in the issue / loan completion information The total usage count and membership card usage count (member card), or the total usage count and V card usage count (visitor card) are added to the usage count included in the member loan completion information and issued loan completion information. As a result of updating, the total usage count that is the magnitude of the game value provided for lending the number of pachinko balls that are game media in each card unit 3 is aggregated for each card unit 3.

  Further, in these lending processing or issuance lending processing, the number of pachinko balls paid out from the pachinko machine 2 reaches 10 with the payout of the number of pachinko balls from the pachinko machine 2 corresponding to the card unit 3. A lending ball number signal of 1 pulse is output every time, and the lending ball number signal output from the pachinko machine 2 is input to the control unit 328 of the card unit 3 via the relay terminal 4.

  When the loaned ball number signal is input to the control unit 328 in this way, the input of the loaned ball number signal is detected by the control unit 328 and the number of loaned balls provided at the predetermined address of the RAM 328b. When 1 is added to the signal register, and the input signal information including the value of the loaned ball number signal number that is the value of the loaned ball number signal register after the addition and the device ID is transmitted to the system controller 100, The system controller 100 specifies the data on the actual number of balls associated with the device ID included in the input signal information in the data table for each card unit from the number of signals for the number of balls loaned included in the input signal information. The number of balls to be lent, specifically, the number of balls to be lent is updated to a value obtained by multiplying the number of balls by 10 so that each card unit 3 can actually To aggregate the co-ball number for each card unit 3.

  The tabulation results for each card unit 3 (device ID, total usage count, and actual number of balls lent) tabulated in the data table for each card unit in this way are the business days at a predetermined time after the end of business. Are sent to the management server 140 together with sales information such as sales and the game hall ID.

  The management server 140 that has received the sales information, based on the counting results included in the sales information, collects all the device IDs associated with the game hall IDs received together with the counting results in the card unit table for each gaming hall. The values of the usage frequency and the actual rental ball number are updated to the total usage frequency and the actual rental ball number corresponding to the device ID included in the aggregation result.

  And, from the registered total use frequency and the unit ball loan number input on the unit ball loan number setting screen stored in the game hall information table corresponding to the game hall ID of the game hall, The reference number of balls corresponding to the device ID is calculated, and the calculated value is stored in the item of reference number of balls.

  Then, the management server 140 calculates, for each device ID (for each card unit 3), a difference obtained by subtracting the stored reference rental ball number from the corresponding actual rental ball number in the card unit table for each game hall, and calculates the calculation. Is stored in the corresponding difference number field, and it is determined whether or not the difference value stored in the difference number is within a predetermined range (0 to -9 in the present embodiment). Specifically, “good” is stored in the item of the predetermined range, and “bad” is stored in the corresponding item of the determination result when it is not within the predetermined range.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 8B, the device ID in which “bad” is stored in the item of the determination result of the card unit table for each game hall is extracted for each game hall, and the extracted device ID is extracted. And resetting information including a unit ball rent stored in the game hall information table corresponding to the game hall ID of the game hall is installed in the game hall identified from the game hall ID In addition to being transmitted to the controller 100, the item of the next determination date and time corresponding to the “defect” in the card unit table for each game hall is added to the item “determination period after reset” of the unit ball loan number setting screen. The date and time specified based on the set period is stored as the next determination date and time when the redetermination is performed. If the period set in the item “determination period after reset” is, for example, 2 hours and the time when the reset information is transmitted is before the start of business, it is the business start time, for example, 10 12:00, which is the time plus 2 hours, is specified and stored as the next determination date, and when the reset information is sent at the time of business, the time added 2 hours is stored. In addition, when the time after adding 2 hours is after the end of business, since the determination is performed after the end of business, the next determination date is not stored.

  Further, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8B, in the determination for each device ID (for each card unit 3), there is a failure determination for any one device ID (card unit 3). If it is determined that the game room as a whole is good or bad, it is determined as bad, and the determination result for the entire game hall is stored in a determination result item corresponding to the total. By doing so, it is possible to easily specify whether or not there is a card unit 3 determined to be defective at the game hall, based on the determination result of the entire game hall.

  The system controller 100 that has received the reset information transmitted from the management server 140 in this manner is included in the reset information with respect to the card unit 3 specified from the device ID included in the received reset information. By transmitting the unit ball loan information that can specify the unit ball loan number, the unit ball loan number specified from the transmitted unit ball loan information is stored in the RAM 328b by the control unit 328.

  When the date and time stored in the next determination date and time item is reached, the management server 140 extracts the device ID in which the date and time corresponding to the date and time is stored in the next determination date and time item for each game hall. Then, the output request for the extracted device ID and the total result corresponding to the device ID is transmitted to the system controller 100 installed in each game hall.

  Based on the reception of the output request for the totaling result, the system controller 100 stores the total usage number and actual number of balls currently stored in the data table for each card unit corresponding to the device ID included in the output request. And the device ID are transmitted to the management server 140 together with the game hall ID as a total result.

  Then, the management server 140 that has received the aggregation result is stored in the game hall information table in association with the usage frequency corresponding to each device ID included in the aggregation result and the game hall ID received together with the aggregation result. Calculate the reference number of balls for each device ID (each card unit 3) from the number of unit balls, and subtract the calculated number of reference loans from the actual number of balls included in the received summary result. The difference is calculated, and it is determined (re-determined) whether or not the calculated difference is within a predetermined range, specifically, a range of 0 to −9.

  If it is determined that the determination (re-determination) is also bad, and “Yes” is selected and set as the blacklist item on the unit ball lending setting screen, the determination (re-determination) is performed. In the determination), the device ID determined to be defective is stored in a black list table (not shown) in association with the game hall ID.

  In this way, the determination result of each card unit 3 installed in each game hall stored in the card unit table for each game hall of the management server 140, the total number of uses, and the actual number of pachinko balls lent out. The information on the number of balls lent and the number of differences are displayed on the loan ball status screen shown in FIG. 10 by performing a predetermined operation on the management server 140.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the rental ball number status screen of the present embodiment is provided with an item for designating a display target game hall for designating a game target to be displayed. When the game hall ID to be displayed in the item is designated as the game hall ID of the game hall, for example, “H0001”, the game device stored in the card unit table for each game hall corresponding to the designated game hall ID Each device ID that is identification information and the total are displayed in a list, and the total usage number, the actual number of balls that are associated with each device ID in the game unit card unit table, the number of reference loans, the number of differences, The determination result and each data of the next determination date and time are displayed in association with each device ID and the total displayed in a list, so that the determination result and the difference number of the entire game hall designated as the display target The can grasp the determination results and the difference between the number of each card unit which is installed in the game arcade. In addition, it is possible to identify which card unit 3 is defective, and to grasp when the redetermination of the card unit 3 determined to be defective is performed.

  Further, in this embodiment, a “black list” selection input unit is provided at the lower position of the lending ball number status screen shown in FIG. 10, and the unit ball lending is performed by selecting and inputting the selection input unit. When “Yes” is set in the item “Black List” on the number setting screen and registration (storage) exists in the black list table, registration (storage) is performed in the black list table as shown in FIG. A list of the game hall IDs and device IDs that are displayed is displayed, and the total usage count and actual number stored in the card unit table for each game hall corresponding to the displayed game hall IDs and device IDs are displayed. The number of borrowed balls, the number of reference loaned balls, and the difference number are displayed in association with each device ID, so that again in the re-determination after resetting, the actual number of borrowed balls and the number of reference loaned balls Difference It is determined that the card unit 3 is not within the range, and the card unit 3 requiring measures other than resetting can be easily grasped, and information relating to the card unit 3 requiring measures other than resetting can be easily grasped. It is also possible to contribute information relating to each of these card units 3 to estimate what kind of inconvenience has occurred.

  As described above, according to the first embodiment, the total number of gaming media actually lent to a player included in the totaling result included in the totaling result and the number of standard rental balls calculated in the calculation process The CPU 142 of the management server 140 determines whether or not the difference from a certain actual number of balls is within a predetermined range in the determination process, so that the unit game medium loan number storage means of the card unit 3 that is a game device It is possible to discover whether or not the data of the unit ball loan number, which is the unit game medium loan number stored in the RAM 328b, has changed from the data of the unit ball loan number transmitted from the management server 140.
