A group of buttons is displayed, and these buttons can be used in the same manner as the screens 550a to 550c in FIGS.

  As described above, in the system of the present invention, in the information display control device 40 of the present invention, the control unit 41 outputs various operation signals that each gaming machine 10 outputs as the game operation progresses via the hole management device 30. The display control unit 411 performs the process of sequentially receiving, collecting the record data including a plurality of items for each gaming machine 10 based on the received operation signal, storing the result data in the table data storage unit 431, and sequentially updating it. In response to pressing of the “table lamp list” button displayed on the display unit 50A configured with a touch panel, each game machine stores the performance data of a plurality of items stored in the table data storage unit 431. Since each player has a function to display a list of a plurality of gaming machine 10-minute machine data on the same screen of the display unit 50A as a table data (table lamp) for each player, By looking at the screen, it compares the platform data of a plurality of gaming machines 10 in one place, can be the subject.

  The gaming machines 10 that the player wants to compare and contrast are often of the same model, but as in the present invention, it is for multiple units (in the example, it is 11 units, but more units are also displayed. Of course) is displayed on the same screen, the range of the tables to be compared and contrasted can be expanded, and the gaming machine 10 having a favorite tone can be easily found.

  In addition, since the table lamp list display screen also displays information indicating whether the corresponding table is a game or an empty table for each table lamp display area of each gaming machine 10, even if the table is in good condition It is possible to avoid waste such as selecting the gaming machine 10 in the game.

  Moreover, since it has the function to display the further detailed stand data of the said game machine 10 by touching the stand lamp display area of each game machine 10 on the stand lamp list display screen, Furthermore, it is possible to easily find a better gaming machine 10 by referring to the detailed table data.

  Further, by operating the “next stand” button or the “previous stand” button on the detailed stand data display screen, the search target is transferred to another adjacent gaming machine 10 and the detailed stand of another stand is easily obtained. It is also possible to check the data.

  Also in this case, since the detailed table data is displayed by a big hit probability graph, a game history graph, a slump graph, or the like, the player can more easily grasp the condition of the gaming machine 10 and can easily select it.

  Next, the achievement history display function of the information display control terminal 40 according to the present invention will be described.

  In order to realize this achievement history display function, the information display control terminal 40 has a result equal to or higher than the achievement target value set in advance in each display 10 in the display control unit 411 in the configuration shown in FIG. When it is achieved, it is displayed as an interrupt image on the screen currently displayed on the display unit 50A, and the achievement of the target is recorded in the achievement history together with the achievement data, and the achievement history is recorded as necessary. An interrupt display control unit 413 for displaying on the display unit 50A is provided.

  Further, in the memory 43, an achievement target value storage unit 433 that stores the achievement target value and an achievement history storage unit 435 that stores the achievement history are provided.

  In the information display control terminal 40, the person in charge inputs the desired achievement target value from the input device 44 in advance while viewing the achievement target value setting screen displayed on the display device 45, for example. The achievement condition value is stored (set) in the achievement condition storage unit 433.

  As the achievement target value, for the gaming machine 10 which is a pachinko machine, each value to be achieved is set for at least one of the number of jackpots, the number of consecutive jackpots (number of consecutive chunks), and the number of balls.

  For the gaming machine 10 that is a slot machine, values to be achieved are set for at least one of the items of the number of big hits, the number of consecutive chunks, and the number of output medals (number of output medals).

  Specifically, values such as the number of big hits = 20, the number of consecutive chunks = 10, the number of balls to be paid = 10,000, and the number of output = 2,500 are set.

  Moreover, as information set as the achievement target value, in addition to the achievement target value for each item described above, the ranking order for the performance data of each item is also applied.

  That is, in the information display control terminal 40, for example, the control unit 41 is provided with a ranking totaling function for performing ranking totaling of the result data.

  This ranking totaling function sequentially collects the base data of a plurality of items output by each gaming machine 10, and sums up the result data for each item from the collected base data of each item and sequentially updates the corresponding game. In cooperation with the above-described data totaling function stored in the table data storage unit 431 for each machine, the ranking ranking of each gaming machine 10 is arranged in the order of good results for each item of the result data totaled by the data totaling function. Implement the ranking tabulation process to be replaced.

  Specifically, the ranking data from No. 1 to No. n is performed for each item such as a big hit, a ball to be played, and the number of output sheets, for the result data of all the gaming machines 10.

  Therefore, when the achievement history display function of the present invention is used, the information display control terminal 40 sets the target ranking order (for example, the order is within 10th order) for the ranking order such as the jackpot, the number of balls, the number of output sheets, etc. Enter) as the above achievement target value for each item.

  The ranking order can also be set in the achievement condition storage unit 433 by inputting the achievement target value (ranking order) from the input device 44 while the person in charge sees the setting screen on the display device 45.

  Similarly, the person in charge displays the interrupt information in a large or small manner on the interrupt target screen using the input device 44 while viewing the display method setting screen for the interrupt display image displayed on the display device 45. Set the interrupt display condition.

  After such setting, the information display control terminal 40 performs display processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 14, in step S <b> 201, the achievement target values of the items of the number of big hits, the number of consecutive chunks, the number of balls to be played, and the number of output sheets are input to the achievement target value storage unit 433 from the input device 44 by the method described above. Set the target ranking for each item.

  Thereafter, the control unit 41 of the information display control terminal 40 sequentially collects various operation signals output by each gaming machine 10 and stores them in the table data storage unit 431 (step S211), and further, the operation of each collected item. The result data consisting of a plurality of items is aggregated from the signal, stored in the table data storage unit 431 for each corresponding gaming machine 10, and sequentially updated (step S212).

  The processes in steps S211 and S212 are the same as the processes in steps S102 and S103 shown in FIG.

  While performing the above-mentioned table data collection process (step S211) and the result data totaling process (step S212), the interrupt display control unit 413 performs the counting of each gaming machine 10 that has been totaled every time a predetermined period elapses (step S213 YES). Data of each item of achievement data (achievement target item: number of big hits, number of consecutive chunks, number of balls to be played, number of output) is retrieved from the base data storage unit 431 and the achievement target value set in the achievement target value storage unit 433 Are compared and collated for each item (step S214).

  Here, when there is a gaming machine 10 in which the performance data of an arbitrary item has reached the preset achievement target value (step S215 YES), the interrupt display control unit 413 displays the information on the gaming machine 10 and the item. The target achievement notification information including information indicating that the set target value has been achieved is cut-in displayed on the screen currently displayed on the display unit 50A (step S216).

  The cut-in display is a technique for interrupting and displaying information (target achievement notification information) indicating that the target has been achieved on a normal screen (currently displayed screen) using a mark and a character string.

  The interrupt display control unit 413 searches for a preset interrupt image display method at the time of cut-in display in step S216 (also in step S220 described later), and displays the interrupt information “largely” on the interrupt target screen. Is displayed on the screen that is currently displayed in a large size, and on the other hand, if “display small” is set, The target achievement notification information is displayed in a small size at a position where it does not interfere with each piece of information on the currently displayed screen.

  After the cut-in display of the goal achievement notification information, the interrupt display control unit 413 displays information on the gaming machine 10 in which the result data of any item has reached the achievement target value, the result data of the item that has achieved the goal, and the goal achievement date. Is stored in the achievement history storage unit 435 as an achievement history (step S217).

  After the achievement history is recorded in step S217 or when it is determined that there is no gaming machine 10 that has achieved the target value in step S215 (NO in step S215), the interrupt display control unit 413, for example, stores the table data The ranking ranking of each item of the big hit number, consecutive number of times, number of balls to be played, and output number stored in the section 431 is searched (step S218), and the target ranking order set in the achievement target value storage section 433 and each Comparison and collation are performed for each item (step S219).

  Here, when there is a gaming machine 10 whose ranking has been raised within the above target ranking ranking (for example, within 10th place) for an arbitrary item (YES in step S219), the interrupt display control unit 413 performs the performance data of the arbitrary item The goal achievement notification information including information on the gaming machine 10 whose ranking ranking has increased and information indicating that the ranking ranking of the item has been increased is cut-in displayed on the screen currently displayed on the display unit 50A (step S40). S220).

  Subsequently, the interrupt display control unit 413 stores the information of the gaming machine 10 in which the ranking of an arbitrary item has risen within the target ranking range, the ranking ranking of the item, and the ranking update date in the achievement history storage unit 435 as an achievement history. (Step S222), then, returning to Step S211, the same processing is continued.

  Next, a specific example of cut-in display of goal achievement notification information will be described.

  FIG. 15 shows that a model ranking list screen (in this example, pachinko appearance ranking list screen) 501c is displayed on the display unit 50A in response to pressing of the “model ranking” button displayed on the display unit 50A. It is a figure which shows the example of a cut-in display of target achievement notification information when there is.

  In this example, it is determined that the 55th game machine (pachinko machine) 10 of a model called CR pachinko BBB has entered a game ranking ranking (for example, within 10th place) set in advance as an achievement target value. (Corresponding to YES in step S219 in FIG. 14), the target achievement notification is made up of the character information 511a of “55th series CR pachinko BBB update of the ball” and the mark (out of ball mark) information 512a corresponding to the type of the updated item The information 510a is cut-in and displayed in a large size so as to overlap the center of the currently displayed model ranking list screen 501c in accordance with a preset display method (= “display large”).

  As specific examples of event information, for example, event contents such as “Find MAX machine”, “Countdown event”, “Ladies' day”, and the like are associated with information on the gaming machine 10 that executes the event and the event start time, respectively. Set.

  For the “countdown event”, the time (countdown time: for example, 10 minutes before) of how long the event is counted down is also set.

  After such setting, the information display control terminal 40 performs display processing according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In FIG. 22, when the menu button is pressed on the display unit 50A (see step S104 in FIG. 6) while the terminal 40 is in operation, the display control unit 411 of the information display control terminal 40 presses the menu button in step S105. It is determined whether or not the selected menu button is an “event” button (step S1051a).

  If the pressed menu button is not an “event” button (NO in step S1051a), the display control unit 411 performs information display processing (step S1070) corresponding to the pressed menu button.

  On the other hand, when the pressed menu button is an “event” button (YES in step S1051a), the event information display control unit 415 performs the processing for all events based on the event information stored in the event information storage unit 437. Then, event execution content display image data including the event content and the event start time is generated (step S1081), and the event execution content is displayed on the display unit 50A based on the image data (step S1082).

  FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating a display example of event execution contents by the event information display control unit 417.

  In this example, when the “event” button displayed on the display unit 50A is pressed, the event information display control unit 415 displays an event execution content (event information) in the event information display area 520 of the gaming machine arrangement map screen 501i. ) Is displayed.

  The event information displayed here is information in which the event content and the event start time (date and time) are associated with each other. Specifically, for example, at the opening time on January 17, 20 o'clock on January 17 Will start an event called "Find a MAX machine", an event called "Countdown" from 10:00 on January 18th, and an event called "Clear drop event" from 20:00 on January 18th January 19th Event information indicating that the event “Ladies' Day” is scheduled to be held from 10:00 and the event “AM event” is scheduled to be held from 10:00 on January 20 is displayed.

  After displaying the event information having the above contents on the display unit 50A in the mode shown in FIG. 23 in step S1082 of FIG. 22, the event information display control unit 415 displays each event in the event information set in the event information storage unit 437. The event start time is compared with the current time measured by a timing means (not shown) (step S1083), and it is determined whether or not the event start time of any event has been reached (step S1084).

  Here, when there is an event that has reached the event start time (an event whose event start time matches the current time) (YES in step S1084), the event information display control unit 417 installs the event-target gaming machine 10 corresponding to the event. The place is displayed on the display unit 50A using the gaming machine arrangement map screen 501j (step S1085).

  FIG. 24 is a diagram showing a display example by the event-target gaming machine display process in step S1085.

  As shown in FIG. 24, the gaming machine arrangement map screen 501j has a configuration in which each figure simulating each gaming machine 10 in the gaming store is arranged corresponding to the actual arrangement of each gaming machine 10. In S1085, the figure corresponding to the event target gaming machine 10 of the event “Find MAX machine” at the event start time is different from the figure corresponding to the gaming machine 10 that is not the event target (in this example, different). By displaying the color: a different color with a diagonal line) (event target stand display 530a), the location of the event target gaming machine 10 can be distinguished from the location of the non-event target gaming machine 10 ing. In addition, about the said event object stand display 530a, it cannot be overemphasized that the display location identification of the event object game machine 1 can also be performed in the aspect different from the event non-object game machine 10 using information other than a color (flashing pattern etc.). Nor.

  After the identification display of the location of the event target gaming machine 10 from the event start time using the gaming machine arrangement map screen 501j, the event information display control unit 415 monitors whether or not the end time of the event has come. (Step S1086) When the end time of the event is reached (YES in Step S1086), the location identification display on the gaming machine arrangement map screen 501j for the event is terminated, and only the event content is displayed in the event information display area 520a. After returning to the normal display state to be displayed (step S1087), the process returns to step S1082 and the same processing is continued.

  As described above, in the present invention, the event information display control unit 415 determines the event contents of the event and the event start date and time for the event before the event start time based on the event start time and the current time in the preset event information. Event information consisting of only the event information is displayed in the corresponding area of the display unit 50A, and for the event after the event start time, the installation location of the event target gaming machine 10 corresponding to the event is displayed using the gaming machine arrangement map screen 501j. When the event time comes, the installation location of the event target gaming machine 10 can be easily communicated to the player using the arrangement map, and the player can easily find the event target gaming machine 10.

  Further, the event information display control unit 415 performs countdown before the event start time and displays the event start time for the countdown event in addition to the above-described event target table display control (see FIG. 22). It also has a countdown display function for displaying the contents of the event when the event occurs.

  A countdown display process by the event information display control unit 415 will be described with reference to a flowchart shown in FIG.

  In this countdown display process, the event information display control unit 415 looks at the event start time in the event information set in the event information storage unit 437 (step S301), and the countdown time corresponds to the event start time. Is set, it is determined whether there is an event that has reached the countdown start time in consideration of the countdown time (by comparing the time before the countdown time with the current time) (step S302). ).

  If there is an event that has reached the countdown start time (YES in step S302), the event information display control unit 415 starts counting down the corresponding countdown time from that point (step S303).

  Then, information indicating that the countdown is being performed, the countdown operation is being performed, and the count value (waiting time until the event start time) (countdown execution notification information) is displayed on the currently displayed screen on the display unit 50A (step S40). In step S304, the display process is continuously performed while the count value due to the countdown does not become “0” (NO in step S305).

  FIG. 26 is a diagram showing a display example of countdown execution notification information in step S304.

  In this example, when a “table lamp list” button displayed on the display unit 50A is pressed, a table lamp list screen 501a (same as that in FIG. 8) is displayed on the display unit 50A. Display example of countdown execution notification information 530b at the time when the countdown of the set countdown time is started and the count value becomes “10 minutes” with respect to the event “countdown” scheduled to be executed from 20:00 on January 17 Is shown.

  At this time, the countdown execution notification information 530b having the content “← 10 minutes until the start of the event” is displayed in the comment display field of the currently displayed stand lamp list screen 501a.

  If the count value becomes “0” while continuing the countdown operation while displaying the countdown execution notification information 530b in the manner shown in FIG. 26 in step S304 of FIG. 25 (step S305 YES), the event information display control unit 415 Reads out the event information of the “countdown” event that is the subject of the countdown from the event information storage unit 437 and displays the event information on the display unit 50A (step S306).

  FIG. 27 is a diagram showing an example of event information display of a “countdown” event due to the end of the countdown (YES in step S305).

  In this example, instead of the stand lamp list screen 501a displayed during the countdown operation, a countdown event display screen 501k in a state where the “event” button is pressed is displayed on the display unit 50A. Here, the display content of the countdown event display screen 501k is a list of each corresponding event target gaming machine 10, and specifically, the model name, unit number, and the current number of the target gaming machine 10 of the “countdown” event. Grade data (out of ball, jackpot, probability).

  While displaying the event information (countdown event display screen 501k) of the “countdown” event in step S306, the event information display control unit 415 determines whether or not a display end operation (for example, “close” button is pressed) is performed. When the check is made (step S307) and the display end operation is performed (YES in step S307), the display returns to the normal display state of the event information as shown in FIG. 23 (step S311).

  If the display end operation is not performed (NO in step S307), it is then checked whether any operation for selecting an event being displayed (touching the event target device display area) has been performed (step S308). .

  Here, when any event selection operation is performed (YES in step S308), the event information display control unit 415 displays the detailed table data of the event target gaming machine 10 of the selected event on the display unit 50A. (Step S309).

  FIG. 28 shows a touch on the event target machine display area corresponding to the 380th gaming machine 10 (slot machine) of the model called slot BCD which is one of the event target machines on the countdown event display screen 501k shown in FIG. 10 shows a display example of detailed table data (detailed table data screen 550e) in the case where the operation is performed.

  This detailed table data screen 550e is similar to the detailed table data 550d (same as 550a to 550c) shown in FIG. 13 described above (same as FIGS. 10 to 12), and the corresponding gaming machine 10 (slot The result data of each item such as the number of start times, the number of times of BIC, the number of regular times of the model (BCD model 380 series) is displayed.

  Further, in this example, since the gaming machine 10 is set as the event target gaming machine 10, mark information (event target base mark) indicating that fact is displayed together with the result data.

  If the display end operation (for example, pressing of the “Close” button) is performed during the display of the detailed table data screen 550e (step S310 YES), the normal display state of the event information as shown in FIG. 23 is returned (step S311).

  Next, event result display processing for the set event will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

  In this end event result display process, for example, the event information display control unit 415 of the information display control terminal 40 is displaying event information in the event information display area 520a of the gaming machine arrangement map screen 501i shown in FIG. In step S401, it is checked whether or not an operation for selecting (touching) the event information being displayed has been performed (step S402).

  Here, when an operation for selecting the displayed event information is performed (YES in step S402), the event information display control unit 415 stores the event information of the event target gaming machine 10 of the selected event in the event information storage unit 437. And the event start time is checked against the current time to check whether or not the event has been completed (step S403).

  Then, if the event is before the start (NO in step S403), notification is made by a method such as displaying that the event is not started (step S410).

  On the other hand, if the event is in progress or has been completed (YES in step S403), the corresponding event information is read from the event information storage unit 437 and the event information (information of the event target gaming machine 10) is listed. It is displayed (step S404).

  FIG. 30 is a diagram illustrating an example of event information display of a corresponding event by an event information selection operation.

  In particular, in this example, when event information is displayed in the event information display area 520a of the gaming machine arrangement map screen 501i (see FIG. 23), the “MAX machine that has already been completed among the displayed event information” is displayed. A display example of event information (finished event result display screen 501m) when event information “Find” is selected (the selected state is indicated by diagonal lines) is shown.

  The finished event result display screen 501m displays a list of information such as the model name, machine number, and result data (outgoes, jackpot, probability) of the event target gaming machine 10 of the finished event.

  The performance data of each event target gaming machine 10 displayed here is the performance data on the event implementation date of each of the gaming machines 10.

  In the control unit 41 of the information display control terminal 40, for the event target gaming machine 10, the result data of the event implementation date is tabulated and stored for each event target gaming machine 10 by the data collection function described above, and the event information In step S404, the control unit 415 reads and displays the performance data for the event target day for each event target gaming machine 10.

  As described above, the process of counting the performance data on the event execution date of the event target gaming machine 10 and displaying the event data on the event target date for each event target gaming machine 10 is performed in step S306 of FIG. 25 described above. The processing is similarly performed.

  In the event information display area 520a, information indicating that the event has ended (“this event has ended”) is displayed in response to the event “Find MAX machine”.

  Note that the processing from step S403 YES to S404 is the same when event information currently being executed is selected from among the event information displayed in the event information display area 520a of the gaming machine arrangement map screen 501i (see FIG. 23). In step S404, the result data of the event implementation date during the event is displayed in the information display field of the currently-executed event target gaming machine 10.

  During the display of the completed event result display screen 501m in step S404, the event information display control unit 415 checks whether or not a display end operation (for example, “close” button is pressed) has been performed (step S405). When the display end operation is performed (YES in step S405), the event information is returned to the normal display state as shown in FIG. 23 (step S401).

  If the display end operation has not been performed (NO in step S405), it is then checked whether any operation for selecting an event being displayed (touching the event target device display area) has been performed (step S406). .

  Here, when any event selection operation is performed (YES in step S406), the event information display control unit 415 displays the detailed table data of the event target gaming machine 10 of the selected event on the display unit 50A. (Step S407).

  The detailed table data can be displayed, for example, in the same form as the detailed table data screen 550e shown in FIG. 28 or the detailed table data 550a to 550d shown in FIGS.

  However, the result data of each event target gaming machine 10 displayed on the completed event result display screen 501m in this case is the result data on the event implementation date of each of these gaming machines 10.

  When the display end operation (for example, pressing the “Close” button) is performed during the display of the detailed table data in step S407 (YES in step S408), the normal display state of the event information as shown in FIG. 23 is returned (step S401). .

  As described above, in the present invention, in response to a selection (touch) operation on the event information being displayed in the event information display area 520a, a list screen of event target gaming machines corresponding to the event information is displayed, and the list screen is displayed. In each event target gaming machine information display column, since the result data of the predetermined item of the event implementation date of each gaming machine is displayed (see step S404 in FIG. 29), In any later case, it is possible to check the performance of the event target gaming machine 10 on the event implementation date.

  Further, if any event target gaming machine information display column in the list screen is touched, the detailed table data of the gaming machine 10 can be confirmed.

  In the above description, the display process for the display unit 50A composed of a touch panel has been mainly described. However, the information display control terminal 40 does not display the display unit 50B that is not a touch panel, for example, the above-described table lamp list screen 501a. The screen can be switched periodically (scrolled).

  In particular, when a plurality of display units 50B are set, a screen to be displayed for each display unit 50B may be allocated and scrolled.

  Further, every time the display unit 50A is switched to the display screen in response to the touch of the player, the same information as the display unit 50A may be displayed on the display unit 50B in conjunction with the display screen.

  In the system of the present invention, the information processing terminal 60 installed in the rest area of the amusement store has a display control function similar to that of the information display control terminal 40 described above, and the display means is a display unit comprising a touch panel. have.

  Therefore, also in this information processing terminal 60, the same information as the display unit 50A in the hall is displayed on the display unit, and the store clerk touches the display unit (touch panel) to display each gaming machine from the table lamp list screen. Operation images such as confirmation of 10 detailed table data can be performed.

  In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above and shown in the drawings, and can be implemented by being appropriately modified within a range not changing the gist thereof.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the information display control terminal 40 and the information processing terminal 60 collect the base data of each gaming machine 10 from the hall management device 30, but the terminal controller that centrally manages the data of the entire gaming system The table data may be collected from (T / C).
