Stored when the total or member game history number (01, 02...), The type of visitor stored, and the game history number (01, 02...) Are stored for each type number. Game-related information such as member ID, game time, start count, bonus count, probability change count (probable change count), number of hit balls, number of payout balls, and amount of money used is stored. The sum of the game related information of all the games in the pachinko machine 2 of the number, that is, the data of the aforementioned game information counter of the card unit 3 of the corresponding device ID is stored, and each game history number includes the card unit 3 Has been sent from The game history is registered (stored) in the order of the member game information, and the game related information excluding the game related information included in the game history of each game history number (01, 02...) Is stored in the visitor item. By doing so, it is possible to grasp the game related information of all the games in each pachinko machine 2, the game history of each member player who played in the pachinko machine 2, and the game related information by the game of a visitor player other than the member It is like that.

  In the member-specific history table, as shown in FIG. 8, for each member ID, the game history of the member player specified from the member ID, specifically, the visit date, the pachinko machine 2 that played the game Game consisting of the machine number, model name, game time from the start to the end of the game, the number of starts, the number of bonuses, the number of probability fluctuations (the number of probable changes), the number of shots, the number of payout balls, the difference ball, and the amount used History is stored (registered). Specifically, the date of visit of the game history based on the calendar information output from the RTC 124 is stored (registered) as the date of visit in the member-specific history table, and from the start to the end of the game. The game history including the game time, the number of starts, the number of bonuses, the number of probability fluctuations (the number of probability changes), the number of shots, the number of payout balls, and the amount of money used is included in the member game information received (acquired) from the card unit 3 Corresponding game related information is stored.

  In addition, the CPU 122 of the member management computer 120 of this embodiment transmits the card unit 3 from the card unit 3 by a replay operation (selection of performing a game using the number of saved balls by operating the play selection button 316). Based on the received storage output request and mobile member storage output request, the PIN included in the storage output request and mobile member storage output request is assigned to the member ID included in the storage output request (mobile member storage output request). Correspondingly, the personal identification number stored in the member data table is collated, and when the collation is matched, the number of saving balls stored in the member data table is returned to the card unit 3 in association with the member ID. In this way, a savings ball number usage permission process for permitting the reuse of the number of savings balls to the game is performed, and the card user In response to the receipt of the payout completion information from the game 3, the payout is made in one replay from the number of saving balls stored in the member data table in association with the member ID included in the received payout completion information. The predetermined number of pachinko balls to be subtracted and updated.

  In addition, when the member game information transmitted from the card unit 3 is received, the CPU 122 of the member management computer 120 of this embodiment uses the member game information as a game history corresponding to the member ID included in the member game information. The game related information included in the member game history table is stored and updated, and the game related information included in the member game information is stored in the table data table and the table data table is updated.

  Hereinafter, the operation status of each part constituting the gaming system in the first embodiment will be described based on the operation status of the card unit 3 based on FIGS. 9 and 10 and the flowcharts shown in FIGS.

  First, the control unit 328 is activated based on power-on of the card unit 3, reads the control program stored in the ROM 328c, and starts executing the control program. In the activation process based on the control program, the control unit 328 resets the card information table, the member game history counter, and the game information counter data, and then displays the screen shown in FIG. After the display, as shown in FIG. 11, the steps of S1 to S5 are circulated to wait for the receipt of money, or the reception (insertion) of the membership card, the reception of the settlement card, the mobile phone communication unit 332 Waiting for reception by the proximity of the member mobile phone to the mobile phone, and waiting in a state waiting for acceptance of an operation for depositing electronic money on the screen shown in FIG.

  First, in this standby state, when a player who does not have a member card or a member mobile phone inserts money (cash), the insertion of the money (cash) is detected at S1, and the process proceeds to S1 +. It is determined whether or not there is a remaining amount in the remaining amount of money, and if the remaining amount exists, that is, if the remaining amount is not “0”, the received accepted money is returned to S1 and the remaining amount is returned. If the amount does not exist, that is, the remaining amount is “0”, the process proceeds to S1 ++, and the member game end determination process shown in FIG. 17 is performed. In other words, when the money is received, a game in which the member game history counter already includes the member ID is determined by determining the start of the member game by the member game start / end / continuation determination process described later before the receipt of the money. If there is a history record, the end of the member game of the member player specified from the member ID is determined (Sb1), the setting of the update target of the member game history counter is canceled, and the game history is confirmed. After the member game information including the confirmed member game history counter data and device ID is transmitted to the member management computer 120 (Sb2), the game history counter data is deleted (Sb3). Yes. In addition, when there is no storage of game history including the member ID in the member game history counter, for example, when the game history is deleted or deleted in SW13 shown in FIG. 19 described later, the processing of Sb1 and Sb2 is not performed. The process proceeds to S6 shown in FIG.

  In S6, the amount of money accepted (identification amount) received from the player is specified, and the specified amount of money received is added to the remaining amount in the card information table, specifically, the remaining amount is set to “0”. After the addition update storage and the cash is stored in the payment type of the card information table, the remaining amount is displayed on the display unit 312 as the remaining payment amount as in the screen shown in FIG. By going through the steps of S7 and S12, waiting for a lending operation by selecting “ball lending” on the screen displayed on the display unit 312 or operating the lending button described above, and the screen displayed on the display unit 312 It shifts to a standby state waiting for an end operation by selecting “End” above or operating the return button described above. The system controller 100 transmits a money receipt notification including the device ID of the card unit 3 and the remaining amount after addition update (amount of accepted money), so that each card unit 3 in the system controller 100 is transmitted. The amount of money deposited in cash (cash deposit amount) is managed for each.

  In the standby state of S7 and S12, when a lending operation is performed by the player, it is detected in S7 that the lending operation has been performed, and the process proceeds to S8, and the lending process described above is performed. Specifically, on the condition that there is a remaining amount that is equal to or more than the unit usage amount set at that time, a discharge instruction for the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the unit usage amount is output to the pachinko machine 2 to use the unit. The number of pachinko balls corresponding to the amount is lent, the unit usage amount is subtracted from the remaining amount in the card information table and updated, and the unit usage amount is added to the total usage amount of the game information counter and updated.

  Then, the process proceeds to S9, and a cash usage notification including the usage amount as the unit usage amount and the device ID is transmitted to the system controller 100. Then, the process proceeds to S10, and the member game history counter stores the member ID and the member If the game history counter is set to be updated, the unit usage amount is added to the usage amount of the member game history counter and updated, and whether there is a remaining amount in the remaining amount of the card information table after the subtraction update It is determined whether or not (S11).

  If there is a remaining amount in the determination of S11, the process returns to the standby state of S7 and S12, and if there is no remaining amount, that is, if the remaining amount is “0”, the process proceeds to S11 +, and Sc12 ( In FIG. 16), the continuation stored when money is received within a predetermined time after the remaining amount of money becomes “0” after it is determined that the member player has started playing the game, such as after depositing electronic money. When the presence or absence of the flag is determined and the continuation flag is stored, the process returns to Sc8 and shifts to waiting for the receipt of money and the receipt of the electronic money for a predetermined time while the continuation flag is not stored. Return to S1 and shift to the above-described standby state of S1 to S5.

  On the other hand, in the standby state of S7 and S12, when the player performs an end operation, it is detected in S12 that the end operation has been performed, and the process proceeds to S13, and the checkout card return process of S13 to S15 + is performed. carry out. Specifically, when there is a payment card being reserved in the internal card reader / writer 327, the payment card ID of the payment card being reserved is set to the above-mentioned card when there is no payment card being reserved. By reading the settlement card ID of the settlement card provided for issuance supplied from the storage unit (S13), and sending a settlement card return notification including the read settlement card ID and the remaining amount to the system controller 100 (S14). In the system controller 100, the settlement card ID and the remaining amount are stored and managed in association with each other, whereby the remaining amount can be specified from the settlement card ID of the settlement card to be issued.

  Then, the process proceeds to S15, and after the remaining amount stored in the card information table is recorded on the settlement card to be issued, the settlement card is issued from the card insertion slot 309 and the card information table is reset (S15 +). The process proceeds to the standby state of S1 to S5 described above.

  These issued settlement cards can be settled into money (cash) by the settlement apparatus 21 and inserted into another card unit 3 to use the remaining amount recorded on the settlement card.

  As described above, in the card unit 3 of the present embodiment, money (cash) is inserted, the inserted amount is deposited into the remaining amount, and the ball lending process is performed using the deposited remaining amount, and the game is executed. In other words, the game can be carried out using money (cash), and the remaining amount not used in the game out of the deposited residual amount is recorded and issued on the settlement card. Can be brought back to money (cash) by bringing it to the checkout device 21.

  Next, the flow when the checkout card issued in this way is inserted will be described. When the checkout card is inserted into the card insertion slot 309 in the standby state of S1 to S5, The acceptance is detected in S3 and the process proceeds to S3 +, and the member game end determination process shown in FIG. 17 is performed. In other words, when the payment card is received, the member game history counter includes the member ID by determining the start of the member game by the member game start / end / continuation determination process described later before receiving the payment card. If there is a game history stored, the end of the member game of the member player specified from the member ID is determined (Sb1), the setting of the update target of the member game history counter is canceled, and the game history is determined After the member game information including the confirmed member game history counter data and the device ID is transmitted to the member management computer 120 (Sb2), the game history counter data is deleted (Sb3). ing. In addition, when there is no storage of game history including the member ID in the member game history counter, for example, when the game history is deleted or deleted in SW13 shown in FIG. The process proceeds to step S71 shown in FIG. 14, and a payment card lending process for using the remaining amount recorded in the payment card for the game is performed.

  In step S71, the record information is read from the accepted payment card, and a license request including the read payment card ID, the remaining amount, and the device ID is transmitted to the system controller 100 (S72). It is determined whether or not a license has been received.

  Based on the reception of the license request, in the system controller 100, the remaining amount included in the received license request is equal to or less than the remaining amount stored in association with the settlement card ID included in the received license request. It is determined whether or not there is, and a license is returned to the card unit 3 (control unit 328) on condition that the amount is not more than the remaining amount in the determination.

  If it is determined in S73 that the use permission has not been received within the predetermined time, the settlement card is returned (S74), and if it is determined that the use permission has been received within the predetermined time. Then, it is determined whether the settlement card has a remaining amount (S75). If it is determined that there is no remaining amount in the settlement card, the settlement card is retained in the card unit (S83), and the step of S1 is performed. On the other hand, if it is determined that there is a remaining amount in the settlement card, the remaining amount and the settlement card ID read from the settlement card are stored in the card information table, and the remaining amount is displayed on the display unit 312 ( The process proceeds to steps S76), S77, and S85 to monitor whether or not there is a lending operation and whether or not there is a checkout card return operation (end operation).

  In these steps S77 and S85, if there is a lending operation, the process proceeds from S77 to S78, and the lending process described above is performed. Specifically, in the lending process, on the condition that there is a remaining amount that is equal to or greater than the unit usage amount set at that time, a discharge instruction for the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the unit usage amount is output to the pachinko machine 2 Lending the number of pachinko balls equivalent to the unit usage amount, subtracting and updating the unit usage amount from the remaining amount in the card information table, and adding the usage amount as the unit usage amount to the total usage amount of the game information counter After the update, the process proceeds to S79, and after the settlement card use notification including the settlement card ID, the new remaining amount after the subtraction update, and the device ID is transmitted to the system controller 100, the update is completed within a predetermined time in step S80. Is not received (S84), and in step S80, if there is an update completion within a predetermined time, a new remaining card is displayed on the checkout card. The amount update records (S81).

  Based on the receipt of the payment card use notification, the system controller 100 determines that the remaining amount stored corresponding to the payment card ID included in the payment card use notification is the remaining amount included in the payment card use notification. As a result, the remaining amount stored in the settlement card and the remaining amount stored in the system controller 100 are managed so as to match.

  In step S82, it is determined whether there is a remaining amount after the subtraction update. If there is a remaining amount, the process proceeds to steps S77 and S85 again to wait for a lending operation and a standby state for waiting for a settlement card return operation. After the card is retained in the internal card unit 327, the process returns to the above-described standby state of S1 to S5.

  In the standby state of S77 and S85, if there is a payment card return operation, the process proceeds from S85 to S86, and after the payment card return notification including the device ID and the payment card ID is transmitted to the system controller 100, the payment is completed. The card is returned (S87), and the process returns to the above-described standby state of S1 to S5.

  By doing in this way, in the card unit 3 of a present Example, the payment card | curd issued by the other card unit 3 is received, and the game using the remaining amount memorize | stored in this payment card | curd is possible. The player can carry out the game in the pachinko machine 2 corresponding to the other card unit 3 without returning the remaining amount recorded in the settlement card to money (cash). Convenience can be improved.

  Next, the flow when the member card is inserted in the standby state of S1 to S5 will be described below. When the member card is inserted into the card insertion slot 309 in the standby state of S1 to S5, When the acceptance of the membership card is detected in S2 and there is a settlement card that is reserved in the internal card reader / writer 327, the settlement card is collected, and the membership card is received and accepted. Then, the process proceeds to S16. The member ID, member card ID, and remaining amount, which are recorded information, are read from the received member card and stored in the card information table, and a member card reception notification including the read member ID and device ID is sent to the member management computer 120. (S17).

  Based on the reception of the membership card reception notification, the membership management computer 120 adds and updates predetermined visit points to the store visit points in the member data table (only once a day) as described above.

  After transmitting these member card acceptance notifications, the process proceeds to S18, and a use permission request including the member card ID read from the member card, the remaining amount, and the device ID is transmitted to the system controller 100.

  In response to receiving this license request, the system controller 100 stores the remaining amount included in the received license request and the membership card ID included in the received license request as described above. The remaining amount is verified, the remaining amount is authenticated, and the license is returned to the card unit 3 on the condition that the remaining amount included in the received license request is equal to or less than the stored remaining amount. The

  In step S19, it is determined whether or not these licenses are received within a predetermined time. If no license is received within the predetermined time, the inserted membership card is returned (S22), On the other hand, the process shifts to the standby state of S1 to S5, and when the use permission is received within a predetermined time, the process proceeds to S20, and the member game start / end / continuation determination process shown in FIG. 18 is performed. In other words, when the member card is received, the member game history counter has already determined the member ID based on the fact that the start of the member game is determined by the member game start / end / continuation determination process before the member card is received. If the member ID read from the received member card is different from the member ID stored in the member game history counter, it is determined that a new member card is accepted, The end of the member game of the member player specified from the member ID stored in the member game history counter is determined, and the start of the member game of the member player specified from the member ID of the received member card is determined. On the other hand, when the read member ID matches the member ID stored in the member game history counter, it is determined that the game is continued and the game end is determined. Reserves with if there is no memory of the game history including already member ID in the member game history counter, determines that start of membership gaming member player identified from the member ID of the member card accepted.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 18, first, it is determined whether or not a game history is already stored in the member game history counter (Sd1). If no game history is stored in the determination, the process goes to Sd5. It is determined that the member game of the member player identified from the member ID read out from the received membership card is started, the process proceeds to Sd6, the member game history counter is reset, and the member ID is stored in the member game history counter. At the same time, by setting the member game history counter as an update target, timing of the game time is started, and the interrupt process shown in FIG. 19 is sequentially performed every time game related information is input, Each game-related information (start count, bonus count, probability variation count (probability variation count), number of shot balls, number of payout balls) of the member game history counter set as the update target is updated. , Updates and stores these game-related information (game data) is started.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in Sd1 that there is already a game history stored in the member game history counter, the member ID read from the member card received in Sd2 and the member stored in the member game history counter are stored. It is determined whether or not the ID matches, and if they match, the process proceeds to Sd7, where it is determined that the member game of the member player of the member ID is continued, and the member game history that has already been set as the update target The counter is set as an update target as it is, and update storage of game related information (game data) is continued. If the determination of Sd2 does not match, the process proceeds to Sd3, and the member ID stored in the member game history counter is stored. The end of the member game specified by the member player is determined, the game time is finished, and the update target of the member game history counter is canceled and the game history After confirming and transmitting the member game information including the confirmed member game history counter data and the device ID to the member management computer 120 (Sd4), the process proceeds to Sd5 and the member ID read from the received member card is used. It is determined that the member game of the identified member player is started, and the process proceeds to Sd6. After resetting the member game history counter, the member ID is stored in the member game history counter, and the game time is started and the time is counted. The member game history counter is set as an update target, and update storage of game related information (game data) is started. Based on the reception of the member game information, the management computer 120 updates the table-specific data table and the member-specific game history table based on the received member game information as described above. That is, in the member game start / end / continuation determination process of the present embodiment, in the pachinko machine 2 corresponding to the member player specified from the member ID on condition that the member card is received by the internal card reader / writer 327. The game start determination means of the present invention is formed by the control unit 328 that determines the start of the game and performs the member game start / end / continuation determination processing.

  Then, in S21, the remaining amount read from the membership card is displayed on the display unit 312. Then, the process proceeds to the standby step of S33, S38, S43, and S88 shown in FIG. It is monitored whether or not there is acceptance, whether or not there is a membership card return operation, and whether or not there is a replay operation.

  In these steps S33, S38, S43, and S88, if there is a lending operation, the process proceeds from S33 to S34 to determine whether or not there is a remaining amount that is equal to or more than the unit usage amount set at that time. After that, when there is a remaining amount that is equal to or more than the unit usage amount, the process proceeds to S35 and the aforementioned lending process is performed. Specifically, an instruction to discharge the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the unit usage amount set at that time is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 to lend the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the unit usage amount, and The unit usage amount is subtracted and updated from the remaining amount of the card information table, the remaining amount after the subtraction update is updated and recorded on the member card, and the unit usage amount is added and updated to the total usage amount of the game information counter.

  Then, a member usage notification including the member card ID, the new remaining amount, and the device ID is transmitted to the system controller 100 (S36), and the amount set as the unit usage amount is added to the usage amount of the member game history counter. After the update (S37), the process proceeds to the standby step of S33, S38, S43, and S88 again.

  In the system controller 100 that receives the member use notification in S36, the remaining amount stored in association with the member card ID included in the member use notification is updated to the remaining amount included in the received member use notification. Thus, the remaining amount of each member card and the remaining amount stored in the system controller 100 are managed so as to match.

  Further, in the steps S33, S38, S43, and S88, when money is accepted, the acceptance of the money is detected in S38, and the process proceeds to S38 + to determine whether the remaining amount is 0 or not. In the case of 0, the process proceeds to S39, and the identification amount of the accepted money and the membership card ID stored in the card information table, that is, the membership card ID of the membership card being accepted by the internal card reader / writer 327, the device ID, Is transmitted to the system controller 100, and it is determined in S40 whether or not a deposit permission has been received within a predetermined time. If the remaining amount is not 0 in the determination of S38 +, the process proceeds to S42, the accepted money is returned, and the process returns to the steps S33, S38, S43, S88 and shifts to the standby state described above.

  Based on the receipt of the deposit request, the system controller 100 updates the remaining amount by adding the identification amount of the accepted money to the remaining amount stored corresponding to the membership card ID included in the deposit request, Reply the deposit permission.

  If the license is not received within the predetermined time in S40, the money is returned. On the other hand, if the license is received within the predetermined time, the received money is identified as “0” as the remaining amount at that time. After recording (storing) the new remaining amount (the same amount as the identification amount) with the amount added to the remaining amount and the membership card in the card information table, the new remaining amount is displayed on the display unit 312 (S41), and again S33 , S38, S43, S88, when the member player performs the lending operation, as described above, the processing of S34 to S37 is performed, and the additional amount of money that has been deposited is added to the member player. Can be used for games.

  In addition, in the steps S33, S38, S43, and S88, if there is a replay operation described above (selection of performing a game using the number of saved balls by the operation of the replay switch 319), S88 to S89. It is determined whether or not the replay count is already stored in the card information table, and if there is no replay count stored, the process proceeds to S92 and is similar to the screen shown in FIG. 9B. A personal identification number acceptance screen is displayed on the display unit 312 to accept a personal identification number from a member player, and a storage output request including the accepted personal identification number and a member ID stored in the card information table is transmitted to the member management computer 120. Then, the number of saved balls of the member player is acquired from the member management computer 120, the replay number is specified, and the specified replay number is stored in the card information table. After, it shifts again to S33, S38, S43, S88 step.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in S89 that the replay count is stored in the card information table, the process proceeds to S90 to determine whether there is one or more replay counts, and there is a replay count. In step S91, the replay process described above is performed.

  If there is a member card return operation in steps S33, S38, S43, S88, the process proceeds from S43 to S44, and the member card being accepted is ejected and returned from the card insertion slot 309. A membership card return notification including the ID and the membership card ID is transmitted to the membership management computer 120 and the system controller 100 (S45), and the membership ID of the returned membership card, specifically, the membership ID stored in the card information table. It is determined that the member game of the member player identified from the end is completed (S46), the time of the game time of the member game history counter is terminated, and the update target of the member game history counter is canceled and the game history is determined. Then, the member game information including the confirmed member game history counter data and the device ID is stored in the member management computer. Transmits to the other 120, after erasing data in the recreation hysteresis counter (S48), shifts to the standby state of the aforementioned S1-S5. As described above, the member game that is determined to be started in the member game start / end / continuation determination process of S20 by accepting the member card is an opportunity for the game start determination in the member game start / end / continuation determination process. On the condition that the membership card is returned, the control unit 328 determines the end of the game determined to start in S46, and the control unit 328 forms the game end determination means in the present invention.

  Note that, based on the reception of the member game information transmitted in S48, the management computer 120 updates the table-specific data table and the member-specific game history table based on the received member game information as described above. The member management computer 120 determines that the interruption is performed during a period from when the control unit 328 serving as a game start determination unit and a game end determination unit determines the start of the game by accepting the member card until the member card is returned. The game history (game related information) of the member game history counter updated by the process is stored in association with the member ID read from the member card that triggered the start of the game.

  Next, the flow in the case of playing a game by performing replay or electronic money deposit using the member mobile phone in the card unit 3 will be described below. First, the replay is performed using the member mobile phone. If the user wants to implement, in the standby state of S1 to S5 described above in which the screen shown in FIG. When the member mobile phone approaches the mobile phone communication unit 332, the control unit 328 transmits a member information output request to the adjacent member mobile phone, whereby the member card ID and the member ID stored in the member mobile phone are transmitted. Is received and acquired by the external card reader / writer 330 via the contactless IC chip (S23), and the member card ID and member ID are acquired. Based on the fact that the contacted mobile phone is confirmed to be a member mobile phone, the received member card ID and member ID are stored in the card information table, and the process proceeds to S24, and the display unit 312 displays FIG. The personal identification number receiving screen is displayed, the personal identification number is received from the member player, and the portable member storage ball output request including the received personal identification number and the member ID stored in the card information table is transmitted to the member management computer 120. Then, the number of saved balls of the member player is acquired from the member management computer 120 and the number of replays is specified.

  Then, the process proceeds to S25, where it is determined whether or not the specified replay count is present, that is, whether or not the specified replay count is one or more replay counts, and the replay count is “0”. On the other hand, the memory of the card information table is reset to return to the standby state of S1 to S5. On the other hand, if the number of replays is one or more, the specified number of replays is stored in the card information table, and S26 9, the specified number of replays is displayed on the display unit 312 as shown in FIG. 9C, and then the process goes to S <b> 27 to perform member game start / end / continuation determination processing shown in FIG. 18.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, when the number of replays is “0”, the storage of the card information table is reset to return to the standby state of S1 to S5. The present invention is not limited, and even when the number of replays is “0”, after determining the game start by executing the member game start / end / continuation determination process shown in FIG. The process proceeds to the standby step of Sc9 to Sc11 via 16 Sc8 to accept electronic money deposit or money (cash) deposit, and when the electronic money deposit or money (cash) deposit is made, the game continues May be determined.

  The member game start / end / continuation determination process in S27 is the same as the member game start / end / continuation determination process in S20 performed in the above-described reception of the member card, and when the member mobile phone is received, When the member game history counter has already stored the game history including the member ID based on the determination of the start of the member game by the member game start / end / continuation determination process before receiving the member mobile phone If the member ID acquired from the accepted member mobile phone is different from the member ID stored in the member game history counter, it is determined that the member mobile phone is accepted and stored in the member game history counter. The end of the member game of the member player specified from the member ID that has been determined is determined, and the member ID of the received member mobile phone If the member ID acquired from the member mobile phone matches the member ID stored in the member game history counter, it is determined that the game is continued and the game ends. If the member game history counter does not already store the game history including the member ID, it is determined that the member game of the member player specified from the member ID of the accepted member mobile phone is started. In other words, in the member game start / end / continuation determination process of the present embodiment, the member player identified by the member ID on the condition that the external card reader / writer 330 has received the member ID from the member mobile phone. The game start determination means of the present invention is formed by the control unit 328 that determines the start of the game in the pachinko machine 2 that performs the member game start / end / continuation determination processing.

  Then, after performing the member game start / end / continuation determination process, after resetting the operation waiting timer at Sh0 in FIG. Whether there is an operation for selecting “use deposit” displayed on the screen of FIG. 9C, whether there is an operation for selecting “end” displayed on the screen of FIG. 9C, Sh0 Monitor whether or not the operation waiting timer reset in step 4 has expired.

  When a replay operation is performed in the standby steps Sh1 to Sh3 and Sh10, specifically, when the replay switch 319 is operated, it is detected in Sh1 that the replay operation is performed, and the process proceeds to Sh4. If there is a replay count, that is, the replay count stored in the card information table is one or more replay counts, and there is one or more replay counts, Sh5 Then, after performing the above-mentioned replay process and discharging the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the number of replays of one time from the corresponding pachinko machine 2, the process returns to the standby step of Sh1 to Sh3. If there is no one or more replays in the determination of Sh4, the process proceeds to Sh6 to determine whether or not there is a remaining amount stored in the card information table, and when there is a remaining amount. Advances to Sc1 in FIG. 16 to be described later, and proceeds to a standby step of Sc1 to Sc3 that accepts the use of the remaining amount. If there is no remaining amount, it proceeds to Sc8 to be described later and waits for a predetermined deposit acceptance. The process proceeds to a standby step of Sc9 to Sc11 that displays a deposit acceptance screen in time and newly accepts electronic money deposit or money deposit.

  In the standby steps of Sh1 to Sh3 and Sh10, if the member player selects “use deposit” displayed on the screen of FIG. 9C, the process proceeds to Sh9 and is stored in the card information table. It is determined whether or not there is a remaining amount, and if there is a remaining amount, the process proceeds to Sc1 in FIG. If the remaining amount does not exist, the process proceeds to S28 to be described later, and shifts to an acceptance state of the deposit amount of the electronic money deposit.

  Further, in the standby step of Sh1 to Sh3 and Sh10, when the “end” selection operation displayed on the screen of FIG. 9C is performed by the member player, the process proceeds to Sh7 and is stored in the card information table. It is determined whether or not there is a remaining amount. If there is a remaining amount, the process proceeds to Sc14 in FIG. 16 to be described later and proceeds to the refund process in FIG. Proceeds to Sh8 and resets the card information table, and then shifts to the standby state of S1 to S5 described above.

  Further, in the standby steps of Sh1 to Sh3 and Sh10, when any of the replay operation, the deposit use selection operation, and the end operation is not performed until the operation waiting timer expires (for example, 10 minutes), When the timer up of the operation waiting timer is detected at Sh10, the process proceeds to Sc7 in FIG. 16 to be described later to determine whether there is a remaining amount. On the other hand, if there is no remaining amount, the process proceeds to Sc8, and it is possible to deposit electronic money using the amount of electronic money or cash using cash (cash) for a predetermined time. If no electronic money deposit or cash deposit is made, the process returns to the above-described standby steps S1 to S5.

  Next, when the member player wants to play electronic money by using the member mobile phone in the card unit 3 and wants to play the game, the above-described S1 to S1 displayed on the screen shown in FIG. In the standby state of S5, it is only necessary to select and input the “electronic money deposit” selection input portion displayed at the bottom of the screen. The unit 328 displays the screen of FIG. 9D on the display unit 312 and accepts the selection of the deposit amount from the member player.

  The member player selects the amount to be deposited from the amount menu displayed on the screen of FIG. 9D, and then selects and inputs the “input” selection input section.

  Based on the selection input of this “decision”, the control unit 328 identifies and accepts the deposit amount selected by the member player on the screen of FIG. 9D, for example, 10,000 yen, and then proceeds to S29 to accept the receipt. An electronic money depositing process for depositing 10,000 yen, which is the deposited amount, into the card unit 3 from the amount of electronic money stored in the member mobile phone is performed.

  Specifically, in the electronic money deposit process, the control unit 328 blinks and lights the notification LED 331a in the electronic money notification unit 331 to prompt the member mobile phone to approach the mobile phone communication unit 332, and the member mobile phone communicates with the mobile phone. Due to the proximity to the unit 332, the above-described external card reader / writer 330 transmits a remittance processing request including the received money amount to the cellular phone communication unit 332 that is in proximity.

  In the member mobile phone that has received this remittance processing request, the dedicated application stored in the member mobile phone is activated, and the amount of electronic money equal to or greater than the deposit amount included in the remittance processing request It is determined whether or not it is stored in the above-mentioned non-contact IC chip mounted on the card, and when it is determined that there is an electronic money amount that is equal to or greater than the deposit amount, the deposit amount is calculated from the electronic money amount Is updated, and after the subtraction update, the member ID stored in the member mobile phone, the member card ID, the electronic money company ID of the electronic money provider that provides the updated electronic money, and the completion notification Transmit (reply) to the external card reader / writer 330.

  Based on the reception of the completion notification, the control unit 328 adds the deposit amount to the remaining amount in the card information table, stores the electronic money company ID together with the electronic money in the deposit type, and further receives the received member. After the ID and the membership card ID are stored in the card information table and the screen shown in FIG. 9E with the deposit amount as the deposit balance is displayed on the display unit 312, the process proceeds to S30 and the member acquired from the member mobile phone A mobile member acceptance notification including the ID and the device ID is transmitted from the communication unit 334 to the member management computer 120.

  Then, the process proceeds to S31, and the above-described member game start / end / continuation determination processing of Sd1 to Sd7 shown in FIG. 18 is performed. In other words, when the member mobile phone is received when depositing electronic money, the above-mentioned member game is determined based on the fact that the start of the member game is determined by the member game start / end / continuation determination process before the reception of the member mobile phone. If the history counter already contains a game history including the member ID, and if the member ID acquired from the accepted member mobile phone is different from the member ID stored in the member game history counter, a new member mobile phone is stored. It is determined that the telephone is accepted, the end of the member game of the member player specified from the member ID stored in the member game history counter is determined, and the member specified from the member ID of the received member mobile phone While it is determined that the player's member game is started, the acquired member ID matches the member ID stored in the member game history counter. If it is determined that the game is to be continued and the end of the game is reserved, and the game history counter including the member ID is not already stored in the member game history counter, the member of the member player identified from the member ID of the accepted member mobile phone It is determined that the game has started. In other words, in the member game start / end / continuation determination process of the present embodiment, the member player identified by the member ID on the condition that the external card reader / writer 330 has received the member ID from the member mobile phone. The game start determination means of the present invention is formed by the control unit 328 that determines the start of the game in the pachinko machine 2 that performs the member game start / end / continuation determination processing.

  Then, after performing the member game start / end / continuation determination process, the process proceeds to a standby step of Sc1 to Sc3 in FIG. 16 to determine whether there is a lending operation, whether there is an end operation, Monitor whether there is.

  In these standby steps Sc1 to Sc3, when there is a lending operation, the process proceeds from Sc1 to Sc4 and the above-described lending process is performed. Specifically, in the lending process, after determining whether the remaining amount in the card information table has a remaining amount that is greater than or equal to the unit usage amount set at that time, the remaining amount that is greater than or equal to the unit usage amount is determined. In some cases, an instruction to discharge the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the unit usage amount set at that time is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 to lend the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the unit usage amount, and the unit usage The amount is subtracted and updated from the remaining amount in the card information table, the deposit amount remaining on the display unit 312 is displayed and updated to the amount after the subtraction update, and the unit usage amount is added and updated to the total usage amount of the game information counter.

  Then, the process proceeds to Sc5, and an electronic money deposit usage notification including the membership card ID and electronic money company ID stored in the card information table, the usage amount as the unit usage amount, and the device ID is transmitted to the system controller 100. As a result, the usage amount is totaled for each electronic money company ID in the system controller 100, and the total result is transmitted to the management server installed in the card management company, so that the usage is sent from the card management company to the electronic money company. The usage amount is settled by billing the amount. In addition, the amount according to the amount of money used for the game hall is appropriately deposited from the card management company.

  After sending these electronic money deposit usage notifications, the process proceeds to Sc6, the unit usage amount is added to the usage amount of the member game history counter, and then the process proceeds to Sc7, where the remaining amount is the remaining amount of the card information table after the subtraction update. It is determined whether or not the remaining amount in the card information table is “0”. If the remaining amount remains, that is, is not “0”, the above-described standby of Sc1 to Sc3 is performed. On the other hand, when the remaining amount does not remain, that is, when it is “0”, the process proceeds to Sc8, and the member game history table is continuously updated and stored by retaining the end determination of the member game, A payment acceptance waiting flag is stored in a predetermined address of the RAM 328b, the display end time timer starts counting, and a payment acceptance screen shown in FIG. Then, the process proceeds to a standby step of Sc9 to Sc11, whether or not there is an operation for depositing electronic money, whether or not money is accepted, and whether or not a display end time (for example, 10 minutes) has elapsed (display) By monitoring whether or not the end time timer has counted up, and depositing with electronic money or money (cash) for a predetermined period from when the remaining amount becomes “0” until the display end time timer counts up Wait for acceptance.

  If there is an operation for depositing electronic money in the standby steps of Sc9 to Sc11, the process returns to the above-described S28, and the steps from S28 to S31 are performed, so that the display unit 312 displays FIG. 10), a deposit amount is received from the member player, electronic money deposit of the deposit amount received from the member player is performed, and the deposit amount is defined as a deposit remaining amount. After the screen of c) is displayed on the display unit 312, the member player can use the remaining amount deposited from the electronic money again for the game by moving again to the standby step of Sc1 to Sc3 described above, In the member game start / end / continuation determination process of S31, the same member ID as the member ID acquired when depositing electronic money is stored in the member game history counter. In, it is determined as the game continuation is reserved determination of game end, updating and storing the game-related information to the associative membered game history counter is continued.

  On the other hand, if there is a receipt of money in the standby steps of Sc9 to Sc11, the process proceeds to Sc12, and it is determined that the member game is continued because there is a money deposit within a predetermined period until the display end time timer counts up. The game end determination is reserved, the continuation flag is stored at a predetermined address in the RAM 328b, and the member game history counter that is already set as the update target is set as the update target as it is, and the game related information is updated and stored. After the continuation, the process proceeds to S6 in FIG. 13 to identify the amount of money accepted from the player, and add the amount of money identified to the remaining amount in the card information table, specifically the remaining amount “ “0” is added and stored, cash is stored in the payment type of the card information table, and the remaining amount shown in FIG. After displaying on the display unit 312, by shifting to the standby state of S 7 and S 12 described above, the member player can perform the lending operation so that the remaining amount after the deposit can be used for the game, and the end operation is performed. In the remaining amount after the deposit, the remaining amount not used in the game is stored in the settlement card, so that it can be settled into money (cash) by the settlement device 21, and all the remaining amount after the deposit is used. If it becomes “0” again, it is determined that there is a continuation flag in S11 +, and the process returns to Sc8 again, so that electronic money or money (in the predetermined period until the display end time timer counts up again) Even if the same member player repeatedly deposits in money (cash) after the remaining amount of the electronic money deposited becomes “0” by waiting for receipt of money (cash) If these payments are repeatedly made, it is determined that the member game is continued and the game-related information is updated and stored in the member game history counter, so that the game history of these same member players can be grasped more accurately. Can do. That is, the control unit 328 serving as the game end determination means in the present invention is a period from when the remaining amount becomes 0 until a predetermined time elapses, specifically, a predetermined period until the display end time timer counts up. When the cash deposit process using money (cash) is carried out, it is determined that the game is continued, and the end determination of the game is reserved until at least the remaining amount added (granted) in the cash deposit process is 0 It is like that.

  On the other hand, when the display end time timer counts up in the standby steps Sc9 to Sc11 and the display end time has elapsed, the display of the deposit acceptance screen shown in FIG. ) Is displayed on the display unit 312, the process proceeds to Sc 13, the storage of the payment acceptance waiting flag is erased, and then the process returns to the above-described standby state of S 1 to S 5 to accept money and check the payment card. Acceptance, acceptance of membership cards, replay using a member mobile phone, and electronic money payment using a member mobile phone are possible. Until the non-operation determination of the machine 2 is made, it is determined that the member player is playing a game, and update storage of game related information in the member game history counter is continued It is possible to grasp the game history of employees player more accurately. In other words, after the start of the member game is determined in the above-described member game start / end / continuation determination process at the time of the electronic money deposit process, the remaining amount given in the electronic money deposit process becomes 0. After the waiting steps of Sc9 to Sc11 are performed and waiting for depositing for a predetermined time is performed, if there is no deposit, returning to the waiting state of S1 to S5, as shown in FIG. The above-described member game end determination process (see FIG. 17) or member game start / end / continuation determination process (FIG. 18) is performed to determine the end of the member game, that is, the member game start / end / continuation determination. After the start of the member game is determined in the process, the end of the game determined to start is the end of the member game on condition that the remaining amount added (given) in the electronic money deposit process is 0. It is determined by a determination process (see FIG. 17) or a member game start / end / continuation determination process (FIG. 18), and the member game end determination process and the member game start / end / continuation determination process are performed. In the control unit 328, the game end determination means in the present invention is formed.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the electronic money deposit operation is performed after the remaining amount given in the electronic money deposit process becomes 0, the steps from S28 to S31 are performed again. By determining that the game is to be continued in the member game start / end / continuation determination process of S31, the game-related information from when the remaining amount becomes 0 until the remaining amount is added (given) again is the same member. While it is updated and stored in the member game history counter as the player's game-related information, if there is no payment in the payment waiting state for a predetermined time, the process returns to the standby state of S1 to S5 and there is an electronic money payment operation. In this case, in the member game start / end / continuation determination process in S31, the member received by the external card reader / writer 330 serving as a portable information terminal processing means for depositing electronic money. D is, so the game end is determined on condition that does not match the member ID stored in the member game history table as a member identification information storage means of the present invention.

  Further, in the standby step of Sc1 to Sc3, when there is an end operation by selecting “End” on the screen displayed on the display unit 312 or the operation of the return button, the process proceeds from Sc2 to Sc14, and FIG. Perform the refund process shown.

  In the refund process of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, first, it is determined whether or not the deposit type stored in the card information table at that time is electronic money (Sr1). If it is determined to be electronic money, the process proceeds to Sr2, and a return process for returning the remaining amount of Sr2 to Sr7 to the electronic money amount of the member mobile phone is performed, while it is not electronic money in the determination of Sr1, In other words, when it is determined that it is cash, the process proceeds to Sr8, and a settlement card issuing process for issuing a settlement card in which the remaining amount of Sr8 to Sr10 is recorded is performed. In the refund process of this embodiment, the end determination of the member game is reserved by not determining the end of the member game.

  Specifically, in the return processing of the present embodiment, the control unit 328 blinks the notification LED 331a in the electronic money notification unit 331 to prompt the member mobile phone to approach the mobile phone communication unit 332, and proceeds to Sr2 to become a member. It shifts to the proximity (acceptance) waiting state of the mobile phone.

  In this state, when the member player brings the member mobile phone close to the mobile phone communication unit 332, the above-mentioned external card reader / writer 330 transmits a member information output request to the mobile phone communication unit 332 adjacent thereto. A member ID and a member card ID are obtained from the adjacent member mobile phones (Sr3).

  In the member mobile phone that has received this member information output request, the aforementioned dedicated application stored in the member mobile phone is activated, and the member ID and member card ID stored in the member mobile phone are externally transmitted. It is transmitted (returned) to the card reader / writer 330.

  By transmitting (replying) the member ID and the member card ID, the control unit 328 causes the member card ID acquired from the member mobile phone that is approached by the transmission (reply) to be the member card ID stored in the card information table, That is, it is determined whether or not it matches the member card ID that is the terminal identification information acquired from the member mobile phone used in the electronic money deposit of the remaining amount (Sr4). The process is stopped and the process returns to the standby step of Sc1 to Sc3. If the member IDs match in the determination of Sr4, the process proceeds to Sr5, and a refund process request including the remaining amount stored in the card information table is made. The information is transmitted to a nearby member mobile phone, and the remaining amount is added to the electronic money amount of the member mobile phone. That is, the member card ID as terminal identification information is received by the external card reader / writer 330 serving as the portable information terminal processing means from the member portable telephone that returns the amount of electronic money corresponding to the remaining amount unused in the game at the time of return processing, The return process is performed by the control unit 328 on condition that the accepted member card ID matches the member card ID stored in the card information table serving as the terminal identification information storage means.

  In the member mobile phone that has received the refund processing request, the remaining amount included in the refund processing request is added to the amount of electronic money stored in the contactless IC chip by the dedicated application activated above. After completion of the addition update, a completion notice is transmitted (returned) to the external card reader / writer 330.

  Based on the reception of the completion notification, the control unit 328 resets the card information table (Sr6), and then returns to the above-described standby state of S1 to S5, thereby accepting money, accepting a checkout card, member While accepting a card, replaying using a member mobile phone, and electronic money payment using a member mobile phone, the non-working determination timer described later is up, and the corresponding pachinko machine 2 Until the non-working determination is made, it is determined that the member player is playing, so that the game-related information is updated and stored in the member game history counter, and the player player's game history is further recorded. Accurately grasp. That is, in the return processing of Sr2 to Sr7 described above, among the remaining amounts added (granted) in the above-described electronic money deposit processing, the electronic money amount corresponding to the unused amount remaining in the game is transferred to the member mobile phone. A refund processing request including an unused remaining amount is transmitted to the game in order to return it to the stored electronic money amount, and the return processing means in the present invention is formed by the control unit 328 that performs the return processing. .

  Furthermore, after the start of the member game is determined in the above-described member game start / end / continuation determination process at the time of the electronic money deposit process, the remaining amount given in the electronic money deposit process is the return process described above. After returning in step S1 to S5, the member game end determination process (see FIG. 17) or the member game start / end / continuation determination process (see FIG. 18) is performed as shown in FIG. ) Is executed and the end of the member game is determined, that is, after the start of the member game is determined in the member game start / end / continuation determination process, the remaining added (given) in the electronic money deposit process On the condition that the money amount return process has been performed, the end of the game determined to start is determined by the member game end determination process (see FIG. 17) or the member game start / end / continuation determination process (FIG. 18). Has become so that, game end judging means of the present invention by the control unit 328 to perform these members game end determination processing and membership game start, end, or continuation determination process is formed.

  Further, in the standby step of Sc1 to Sc3, when there is a replay operation, the process proceeds from Sc3 to Sc15 to determine whether or not the number of replays is already stored in the card information table. If there is a record of the number of replays in the table, after displaying the number of replays on the display unit 312, the process proceeds to the standby step of Sh1 to Sh3 and Sh10 via Sh0 shown in FIG. In the case where the replay using the replay count is enabled and the replay count is not stored in the card information table, the notification LED 331a in the electronic money notification section 331 is flashed and lit to turn on the mobile phone communication section 332. The mobile phone is urged to approach the member mobile phone, and the process proceeds to Sc16 to shift to the proximity (acceptance) waiting state of the member mobile phone. If there is proximity (acceptance), the process returns to S23 in FIG. 11, and after performing the processes in S23 to S27 described above, the process proceeds to a standby step of Sh1 to Sh3 and Sh10 via Sh0 in FIG. Then, the number of saved balls of the member player is acquired from the member management computer 120, the number of replays based on the number of saved balls is specified, and replay of the specified number of replays is enabled. In the member game start / end / continuation determination process of S27, since the member ID identical to the member ID acquired from the member mobile phone close in S23 is already stored in the member game history counter, electronic money is used. It is determined that the game of the same member player continues even if the game is changed from the previous game to the replay game, and the game-related information is updated and stored in the member game history counter. It is.

  Next, interrupt processing that is enabled during the processing of the various processes shown in FIGS. 11 to 18 and FIG. 20 will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG. 19. The game in the corresponding pachinko machine 2 from the relay terminal 4 As shown in FIG. 5, when there is an input of a supply signal, a jackpot signal, a probability changing signal, a start signal, or a driving signal, as shown in FIG. By detecting the input at SW1 and proceeding to SW2, the normal processing is temporarily interrupted and interrupt processing for preferentially performing the processing is performed, and the processing proceeds to SW3 and the signal detected at SW1 is detected. When the input is accepted, the type of game-related information corresponding to the input signal is specified, and the process proceeds to SW4 to update the specified type of game-related information in the game information counter based on the input signal Moni, to reset the non-working determination timer. At this time, if the game time of the game information counter has not been measured, the game time is started.

  Then, the process proceeds to SW5 to determine whether the member game history counter is set as an update target. When the member game history counter is set as the update target, the SW3 of the member game history counter is specified. The game-related information of the type is updated based on the input signal, and the interrupt process ends. In this way, game-related information corresponding to the input signal is stored in the game information counter and the member game history counter in response to a signal arbitrarily input from the relay terminal 4. .

  As described above, in the interrupt process of the present embodiment, game-related information generated in relation to the game in the corresponding pachinko machine 2 is acquired, and the game in the present invention is performed by the control unit 328 that performs the interrupt process. Related information acquisition means is formed.

  Further, when the non-operation determination timer reset in SW4 is up, the timer up of the non-operation determination timer is detected in SW6 and it is determined that the corresponding pachinko machine 2 is in the non-operation state, and SW7 By proceeding to, the normal processing is temporarily interrupted and interrupt processing for preferentially executing the processing is performed, and the processing proceeds to SW8 to determine whether or not the member game history counter has a game history stored. If no game history is stored, the game information counter finishes counting the game time and ends the interrupt process. On the other hand, if there is a game history stored, the process proceeds to SW9 and the remaining amount is stored in the card information table. Or whether or not there is a memory of the number of replays, that is, whether or not it is out of service due to a game interruption, etc. in the state where the remaining amount or the number of replays still exists If the remaining amount or the number of replays is stored in the determination, the process proceeds to SW14, the non-operation determination timer is reset, the interruption process is terminated, and the remaining amount or the number of replays is stored in the card information table. If not, the process proceeds to SW10, where it is determined whether or not the receipt acceptance waiting flag stored in Sc8 is stored, that is, whether or not the receipt acceptance waiting state is set. If there is a memory, the process proceeds to SW14 to reset the non-working determination timer to end the interrupt process, and if there is no payment acceptance waiting flag, the process proceeds to SW11 and stored in the member game history counter. It is determined that the member game of the member player specified from the member ID is ended, and the counting of the game time of the member game history counter and the game information counter is ended. After the setting of the update target of the member game history counter is canceled and the game history is confirmed, and the member game information including the confirmed member game history counter data and the device ID is transmitted to the member management computer 120. (SW12), the game history counter data is erased (SW13), and the interrupt process is terminated. In other words, it is determined that the game-related information has not changed for a predetermined time in the interrupt process, that is, the non-operation state is determined on the condition that the non-operation determination timer has expired. The non-operating state determination means in the present invention is formed by the control unit 328 that performs the credit processing, the termination determination retained in Sc8 when the remaining amount is 0, and the termination determination retained in the refund processing of Sc14 Is determined to be in the non-operating state, and is implemented in the SW11. That is, after the remaining amount becomes 0 or returned in the return process included in the refund process, The end determination of the member game is reserved until the non-operating state is determined by the control unit 328 serving as the non-operating state determining means. And Tsu, By doing so, since the game-related information in these reserved period is updated and stored in the member game history table, more precisely it is possible to manage the game-related information of the member player.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the gaming system of the first embodiment, the game start / end / continuation determination process is performed on the card unit 3 side, whereas in the gaming system of the second embodiment, these games are processed. The start / end / continuation determination process of the game is performed on the member management computer 120 side which is the management device, and the start / end / continuation determination process of the game is executed on the member management computer 120 side. Since the game system is the same as the gaming system of the first embodiment except for the following changes, detailed description of these same parts will be omitted, and the characteristic parts of the second embodiment will be described in detail below. .

  The member management computer 120 used in the second embodiment is the same as the member management computer 120 in the first embodiment. However, the member management computer 120 is replaced with a table data table stored in the member management computer 120 in the first embodiment. FIG. 23 shows a table-specific data table as member identification information storage means in the present invention. In the table-specific data table of the first embodiment, the card unit 3 determines the end of the member game. According to the member game information transmitted based on the fact, only the game history of the member player determined to have finished the game is stored, whereas in the stand-alone data table of this embodiment 2, Is a game history of a member player in a state where the start of the member game is determined and the game has not ended yet, that is, the member game history in the card unit 3 described above The unsettled storage data of the unter is also stored in the table-specific data table, and as shown in FIG. 23, for each game history of each member player for each pachinko machine 2, A payment waiting flag indicating that the card unit 3 is waiting for payment in a member game corresponding to the game history, an end determination waiting flag indicating that the game history is in an end determination waiting state, and the game history are already stored. A determination flag indicating that the game history has been determined after the end has been determined can be stored. In addition, the table-specific data table and the member-specific history table in the second embodiment are configured so as not to have the usage amount item in the first embodiment.

  Further, the card unit 3 used in the second embodiment has the same configuration as the card unit 3 in the first embodiment, and the function based on the processing content is other than the function for determining the game start and the game end. The various functions are the same as those of the card unit 3 of the first embodiment.

  In addition to these functions, as shown in FIG. 21, the control unit 328 of the card unit 3 of the second embodiment, when various signals corresponding to various game-related information are input from the relay terminal 4, The game information data including the data that can specify the type of the input signal and including the machine number corresponding to the card unit 3 is generated in a predetermined description format (format) and transmitted to the member management computer 120 A game information data transmission function for executing the game information data transmission process, and the member management computer 120 receives game information data transmitted from each of the card units 3 from the second communication unit 130 in an interrupt process to be described later. By receiving the information, the game related information in each pachinko machine 2 can be individually collected (acquired). Game related information obtaining means in the present invention are formed.

  Similarly to the card unit 3 of the first embodiment, the card unit 3 of the second embodiment notifies the member management computer 120 of a membership card acceptance notification, a membership card return notification, a mobile phone as shown in FIG. In addition to sending a member acceptance notification and a mobile member savings ball output request, a settlement card acceptance notification transmission process including a device ID is performed instead of the above-described S3 + member game end determination process performed when a settlement card is accepted. Then, the payment card acceptance notification is transmitted to the member management computer 120 to notify that the payment card has been accepted, and when the money is accepted when the membership card or the member mobile phone is not being accepted, that is, in S1. In place of the aforementioned S1 ++ member game end determination process that is performed when money is received, the money acceptance notification transmission process is performed, The money acceptance notification including the device ID is transmitted to the member management computer 120 by executing the money acceptance notification transmission process instead of the above-described Sc12 member game continuation determination process performed when accepting money in Sc10. In this case, a refund notification including the device ID is transmitted to the member management computer 120 by executing a refund notification transmission process upon resetting the card information table of Sr6 in the refund process. 3, the completion of the refund process is notified, and the replay end notification is performed when the card information table of Sh8 is reset when the replay end operation is detected during the replay in Sh3 described above. By executing the transmission process, a replay end notification including the device ID is sent to the member management computer. 120 to notify the end of replay in the card unit 3, and when receiving the receipt acceptance waiting flag in Sc8 described above, the receipt acceptance start start notification transmission processing is performed to receive the receipt including the device ID. A standby start notification is transmitted to the member management computer 120 to notify that the card unit 3 has started to accept payment, and the CPU 122 of the member management computer 120 receives these notifications and requests. Monitoring is performed by performing the reception monitoring process shown in the flow chart of 24, and the start, end and continuation of the member game in each pachinko machine 2 is determined based on the reception of each notification and request, The game start determination means and the game end determination means of the present invention are formed by these reception monitoring processes.

  The reception monitoring process according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 24. The CPU 122 of the member management computer 120 circulates the steps SK1 to SK9 to determine whether or not a member card acceptance notification has been received. (SK1), whether or not a mobile member storage output request is received (SK2), whether or not a mobile member acceptance notification is received (SK3), whether or not a membership card return notification is received (SK4), Whether there is a receipt of money acceptance notice (SK5), whether there is a payment card acceptance notice received (SK6), whether there is a receipt of payment acceptance waiting notice (SK7), and whether a refund notice is received It is monitored whether or not there is a replay end notification (SK9).

  In the monitoring steps of SK1 to SK9, a member card is accepted in the card unit 3, or a member mobile phone is accepted when electronic money is deposited or replayed using the member mobile phone. If any one of the card acceptance notification, the mobile member storage output request, and the mobile member acceptance notification is received, the process proceeds from SK1, SK2, SK3 to SK10, and the member game start / end / continuation determination process shown in FIG. 26 is performed. As a result, if the member ID of the received member card or member mobile phone is different from the member ID of the member player who played before that time, the member player who played before that time When it is determined that the game is over and the member ID is the same, it is determined that the member game is continued. Is one newly after the start of the member game members player who owns the membership card or membership cellular phone received in the card unit 3 is determined, the flow returns to the monitoring step SK1~SK9 again.

  Specifically, in the member game start / end / continuation determination process, as shown in FIG. 26, first, it corresponds to the device ID included in the received member card acceptance notification, portable member saving output request, and portable member acceptance notification. Whether or not there is an undetermined game history in the table-specific data table, that is, whether or not there is a game history for which the end of the member game has not been determined. (Sd11), and if there is no unconfirmed game history stored in this determination, the process proceeds to Sd15 to receive the received member card acceptance notification, portable member storage output request, and portable member acceptance notification. It is determined that the member game of the member player specified from the included member ID is started, and the process proceeds to Sd16, and the game history corresponding to the received device ID in the stand-by data table is added to the game start. The game history of the member ID of the specified member player is newly stored, and the newly stored unconfirmed game history is set as an update target to start counting the game time, and is shown in FIG. Each time the game information data is received from the card unit 3, the interrupt process is sequentially performed, and each game related information (start count, large number of times) of the unconfirmed game history set as the update target The number of probability fluctuations (the number of chances of change), the number of balls to be thrown in, and the number of balls to be paid out are updated, and update storage of these game related information (game data) is started. In other words, in the member game start / end / continuation determination process of the present embodiment, the fact that the member card acceptance notification has been received by the internal card reader / writer 327 of the card unit 3 has been received, and the external card of the card unit 3 has been received. The member ID included in each of these notifications, provided that the reader / writer 330 (portable information terminal processing means) has received a mobile member acceptance notification or a mobile member storage output request due to the reception of the member ID from the member mobile phone. The game start determination means of the present invention is formed by the CPU 122 that determines the start of the game in the corresponding pachinko machine 2 of the member player identified from the above, and performs the member game start / end / continuation determination processing .

  On the other hand, if it is determined in Sd11 that there is an undetermined game history in the table-specific data table, the process proceeds to Sd12 and is included in the received member card acceptance notification, portable member savings ball output request, and portable member acceptance notification. It is determined whether or not the member ID matches the member ID included in the undetermined game history. If they match, the process proceeds to Sd17 to determine that the member game of the member player of the member ID is continued. Then, the unconfirmed game history that has already been set as the update target is set as the update target as it is, and update storage of the game related information (game data) is continued, and the process proceeds to Sd18 and the flag of the unconfirmed game history is set. When all the processes are reset and the determination of Sd12 does not match, the process proceeds to Sd13, and the member game specified from the member ID stored in the unconfirmed game history is obtained. After determining the end of the member's member game, the game time measurement of the game history is terminated, the update target of the game history is canceled, and the game history confirmation flag is set ("1" is stored) The game history is updated to the confirmed game history (Sd4). And it progresses to Sd15, it determines with the start of the member game of the member player specified from the received member ID, it progresses to Sd16, and it determines with game history corresponding to the apparatus ID received in the table data table being a game start. The game history of the member ID of the member player who has played is newly stored, and the newly stored unconfirmed game history is set as an update target, thereby counting the game time and each game related information (starting count, large Update storage of the number of times, the number of probability fluctuations (the number of probability changes), the number of shot balls, the number of payout balls) is started, and the processing is terminated. The determined game history is stored in the member history table, and the member history table is updated. That is, the member management computer 120 of the second embodiment is a period from when the CPU 122 that is the game start determination unit determines the start of the game in the pachinko machine 2 to when the CPU 122 that is the game end determination unit determines the end of the game. The member received the game-related information in the pachinko machine 2 acquired by the above-described interrupt processing performed by the CPU 122 serving as the game-related information acquisition means from the member mobile phone that triggered the start of the game. Store in association with the ID.

  Further, in the monitoring step of SK1 to SK9 described above, when a membership card return notice is received from the card unit 3 by returning the membership card in the card unit 3, the process proceeds from SK4 to SK11 and the received card is received. After it is determined that the game of the member player specified from the member ID included in the member card return notification is completed, the process proceeds to SK12, and the data table corresponding to the device ID included in the received member card return notification is displayed. The timing of the game time of the unconfirmed game history including the stored member ID is ended, the update target setting is canceled, and the game history confirmation flag is set (stores “1”). After the game history is updated to the confirmed game history, the process returns to the monitoring steps SK1 to SK9 again. That is, when the membership card return notification is received, the end of the member game is determined, the game history of the member game determined to be the end is determined, and the determined game history is the same as Sd16 of FIG. 26 described above. Is stored in the member-specific history table and the member-specific history table is updated. As described above, the member game determined to be started in the member game start / end / continuation determination process of SK10 by receiving the member card acceptance notification by receiving the member card is a game in the member game start / end / continuation determination process. On the condition that the membership card return notification is received by the return of the membership card that triggered the start determination, the CPU 122 determines the end of the member game determined to start in SK11. The game end determination means in the invention is formed.

  Further, in the monitoring step of SK1 to SK9 described above, when the aforementioned money acceptance notification is received from the card unit 3 based on the money acceptance in S1 or Sc10 described above, the process proceeds from SK5 to SK13, and the individual data table It is determined whether or not there is an undetermined game history stored corresponding to the device ID included in the received money acceptance notification, and if there is no undetermined game history, SK1 to SK9 Returning to the monitoring step, if there is an unconfirmed game history, the process proceeds to SK13 + and it is determined whether or not “1”, which is a deposit standby flag, is stored in the deposit standby flag of the unconfirmed game history. . If the deposit waiting flag is stored in the determination, the acceptance of money within a predetermined receipt acceptance waiting time after the receipt of the money in the card unit 3 becomes “0”, that is, It is determined that the money is accepted in Sc10, and the process proceeds to SK14, where it is determined that the member game is continued and the determination of the end of the game is reserved, and the unconfirmed game history already set as the update target is set as the update target. The game-related information is continuously updated and stored, and all the flags of the undetermined game history are reset and the process returns to the monitoring step of SK1 to SK9. It is determined as “No”, the process proceeds to SK15, and the member game end determination process shown in FIG. After completion is determined, the flow returns to the monitoring step SK1~SK9 again. In other words, the CPU 122 serving as the game end determination means in the present invention is a period from when the remaining amount in the card unit 3 becomes 0 until a predetermined time elapses, specifically within a period in which a deposit waiting flag is stored. In addition, when the card unit 3 receives a money acceptance notification by the execution of the cash deposit process using money (cash), it is determined that the game is continued in SK14 and is added (granted) at least in the cash deposit process. Until the remaining payment amount is cleared and the stored payment waiting flag is cleared by receiving the payment acceptance waiting start notification, or after receiving the refund notification transmitted from the card unit 3 based on the refund process. The end determination of the member game is withheld until the end determination (SW31) is made due to the time-up of the operation determination timer. There.

  Specifically, in the member game end determination process of SK15, as shown in FIG. 25, first, the member ID included in the unconfirmed game history stored corresponding to the device ID included in the received money acceptance notification. The end of the member game of the member player identified from (1) is determined (Sb11), the counting of the game time of the game history is ended, the setting of the update target of the game history is canceled, and the game history confirmation flag is set. The set is stored ("1" is stored), the game history is updated to the determined game history, and the process is terminated (Sb12). The determined game history is stored in the member history table in the same manner as Sd16 in FIG. 26 described above, and the member history table is updated. That is, after the start of the member game is determined in the member game start / end / continuation determination process of the SK 10 based on the reception of the mobile member acceptance notification transmitted from the card unit 3 in the electronic money deposit process, the electronic money deposit process is performed. SK15 member game end determination processing is executed when no money acceptance notification based on money acceptance is received during storage of the payment waiting flag upon receipt of the payment acceptance standby start notification when the remaining amount granted in this way becomes zero The end of the member game is determined, that is, after the start of the member game is determined in the SK10 member game start / end / continuation determination process, the remaining amount added (given) in the electronic money deposit process is On the condition that it becomes 0, the end of the game determined to start is determined in the SK15 member game end determination process. Cage, game end judging means of the present invention at CPU122 implementing these members game end judging process is formed.

  Further, in this embodiment, after the start of the member game is determined in the member game start / end / continuation determination process of the SK 10 based on the reception of the mobile member acceptance notification transmitted from the card unit 3 during the electronic money deposit process, When a mobile member acceptance notification is received in connection with the electronic money deposit process while the deposit standby flag is received by receiving the receipt of a deposit acceptance wait when the remaining amount given in the electronic money deposit process becomes 0 Is determined to be a continuation of the game in the SK10 member game start / end / continuation determination process again until the remaining amount is added (granted) using electronic money after the remaining amount becomes 0 The game-related information is also updated and stored in the table data table as game-related information of the same member player. If there is no deposit in the waiting state for payment in between, return to the standby state of S1 to S5 described above, and receiving a mobile member acceptance notification due to electronic money deposit processing again, SK10 member In the game start / end / continuation determination processing, the member ID included in the mobile member acceptance notification received by the external card reader / writer 330 serving as the mobile information terminal processing means of the card unit 3 for electronic money payment is the present invention. The end of the game is determined on condition that it does not match the member ID stored in the indeterminate game history corresponding to the device ID included in the mobile member acceptance notification of the table-specific data table serving as the member identification information storage means. It becomes like this.

  Further, in the monitoring step of SK1 to SK9 described above, when the settlement card acceptance notification is received from the card unit 3 based on the receipt of the settlement card in the card unit 3, the process proceeds from SK6 to SK16. It is determined whether or not there is an undetermined game history stored in correspondence with the device ID included in the received payment card acceptance notification in the data table. If there is no undetermined game history, SK1 Returning to the monitoring step of ~ SK9, if there is an unconfirmed game history, the process proceeds to SK17, and the member game end determination process consisting of Sb11 and Sb12 shown in FIG. After determining the end of the member game in the game history of the game, and updating the game history to be confirmed, the process returns to the monitoring steps SK1 to SK9 again. .

  Next, in the above-described monitoring steps SK1 to SK9, when the receipt of the deposit acceptance standby start is received from the card unit 3, the process proceeds from SK7 to SK18, and the device ID included in the received receipt of acceptance standby start is received. The device included in the received payment acceptance standby start notification in the stand-by data table, with which the card unit 3 of the device ID of the device ID based on the fact that the remaining amount has become 0 reserves the end determination of the member game in the corresponding pachinko machine 2 A deposit waiting flag of an unconfirmed game history stored corresponding to the ID is set ("1" is stored), the timer of the flag timer corresponding to the device ID is started, and the flag timer is set. The timer time of the flag timer is the same as the display end time (same as the deposit acceptance waiting time) in the card unit 3, and when these flag timers are up, The receipt waiting flag is erased by being detected by the interrupt processing SW 35 to be described later, and therefore when the receipt waiting flag is stored, the corresponding card unit 3 has the above-mentioned Sc9 to Sc11. It will be in a payment acceptance waiting state, and by checking these payment waiting flags, it can be determined whether or not the card unit 3 is in a payment acceptance waiting state, as shown in the above-described SK14, When you receive the money acceptance notification, you can determine whether or not it is a continuation of the member game by checking this payment waiting flag. It has become.

  Next, when a refund notification or replay end notification is received from the card unit 3 in the monitoring step of SK1 to SK9, the process proceeds from SK8 or SK9 to SK19, and the received refund notification or replay end notification is received. In the card unit 3 of the device ID included in the card unit 3, a refund process including a return process has been made, or the end determination of the member game in the pachinko machine 2 corresponding to the card unit 3 corresponding to the end of the replay is reserved, If there is an unconfirmed game history stored in correspondence with the device ID included in the received refund notification or replay end notification in the stand-by data table, waiting for an end determination of the unconfirmed game history Set the flag ("1" is memorized), and non-earning due to the non-operation determination timer being up in the interrupt processing described later After you enable the end determination of the member game by the determination, returns to the monitoring step of SK1~SK9.

  Next, the interruption process that is effective during the process shown in FIG. 24 and executed by the member management computer 120 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Game information data relating to games in the game, specifically, as shown in FIG. 22, supply information indicating that any one of a supply signal, a jackpot signal, a probability changing signal, a start signal, and a driving signal has been input. If game-related information data including (data), jackpot information (data), probability changing information (data), starting information (data), and driving information (data) is received, the game information data is received. Is detected in the SW21 and proceeds to the SW22, whereby the normal process is temporarily interrupted and the interrupt process for preferentially executing the process is performed, and the SW2 Then, the type of game-related information to be updated is specified based on the game information data received at SW21, and the table (pachinko machine 2) to be updated is determined from the device ID included in the game information data. It is specified in the table data table.

  Then, the process proceeds to SW24, and based on the game information data that has received the game related information of the type to be updated specified in SW23 out of the total game related information in the table-specific data table of the specified table (pachinko machine 2). Updates and resets the non-operation determination timer. At this time, if the total game time has not been measured, the game time is started.

  Then, the process proceeds to SW25, and when the unconfirmed game history in the table-specific data table of the machine (pachinko machine 2) specified as the update object in SW23 is set as the update object, the game of the unconfirmed game history Of the related information, the game related information of the type to be updated specified by the SW 23 is updated based on the received game information data. By doing so, in correspondence with the game information data transmitted from the card unit 3, the game information related to the total and the unconfirmed game history corresponding to the game information data is updated and stored. .

  When the non-operation determination timer reset by the SW 24 is up, the timer up of the non-operation determination timer is detected at the SW 26, and the pachinko machine 2 corresponding to the non-operation determination timer is in the non-operation state. When the process proceeds to SW27 and the normal process is temporarily interrupted, the interrupt process for preferentially performing the process is performed, and the process proceeds to SW28, where the timer is up in the stand-alone data table. It is determined whether there is an undetermined game history corresponding to the machine (pachinko machine 2) corresponding to the operation determination timer, and if there is no undetermined game history, the machine (pachinko machine 2) While the timing of the corresponding total game time is ended and the interruption process is ended, when there is an unconfirmed game history, the process proceeds to SW29 and corresponds to the unconfirmed game history. Whether or not the end determination waiting flag is stored, that is, the remaining amount in the card unit 3 is “0”, the payment waiting flag is stored, and after the payment waiting flag is erased, or refund processing or replay It is determined whether or not the end determination waiting state based on the non-operation determination after the end operation has been performed. If the end determination wait flag is not stored in the determination, the process proceeds to SW34 to reset the non-operation determination timer. If there is an end determination waiting flag stored, the process proceeds to SW30 to determine whether there is a payment waiting flag corresponding to the unconfirmed game history, that is, at that time. It is determined whether or not the card unit 3 is in a deposit acceptance waiting state. If there is a receipt of a receipt acceptance flag, the process proceeds to SW34 to reset the non-operation determination timer and interrupt.
