Description

  The present invention relates to an in-store broadcasting system for a game arcade where a large number of gaming machines are installed.

  In a game arcade where game machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines are installed, when a player leaves the game machine for the purpose of rest (use of toilets, purchase of drinks, etc.), the game machine is playing or occupied It is necessary to notify other players that the game is in progress. For this reason, in the past, for the purpose of notification as described above, it is common practice to place own belongings (private items such as cigarettes) in a game medium tray provided in a gaming machine (when playing) Will be left in the saucer). Such an act normally returns to the current state in a relatively short time, and is permitted as a part of customer service on the game hall side.

  However, if the state where the gaming machine is occupied without being played (hereinafter referred to as a player absent occupation state) is prolonged longer than necessary, for example, the player may leave his belongings in the tray of the gaming machine. If you leave the game hall in this state, or if you continue to play with a game machine other than the occupied game machine, the operating rate of the game machine will be adversely affected, leading to a decline in sales at the game hall. End up.

For this reason, in the conventional in-store broadcasting system for amusement halls, in response to a broadcast start operation that is performed each time a gaming hall employee confirms the existence of such a gaming machine, the player returns to the gaming machine. In-store broadcasting (hereinafter referred to as customer call broadcasting) is promoted. And even if the predetermined time has elapsed after such broadcasting, if the player absent occupation state in the gaming machine to be called has not been resolved, the placed object in the tray (if there is a game medium, (Including game media) is collected and stored separately, and the game machine is returned to an open state (so-called empty platform) where anyone can play games. In this case, in order to confirm the presence of the gaming machine in which the player-occupied occupation state has continued for a predetermined time, for example, a means shown in Patent Document 1, that is, a digital display unit that counts down the elapsed time after the break start is provided. A means for providing a plate in the vicinity of the gaming machine can be used.
JP 2001-79258 A

  Even when the above-mentioned means are used, in order to carry out the customer call broadcasting, every time the game hall employee confirms the presence of the gaming machine in which the player-occupied occupation state continues for a predetermined time or more, the broadcast start operation is performed. There was a problem that the burden on the amusement hall employees increased because it was necessary to do so. In other words, in the conventional in-store broadcasting system, the customer call broadcast is performed only once in response to one broadcast start operation. For example, when the gaming machine is returned to the vacant base by performing the customer call broadcast once. There is also a possibility that the player to be called misses the broadcast, and when another player starts playing with that gaming machine, the gaming machine is between the players or between the player and the game hall. There is a risk that it will develop into troubles related to game rights in Japan. In order to prevent the occurrence of such troubles, the game site employees must confirm the status of the gaming machine in the absence of the player every time a predetermined time has passed, and check It is necessary to take a very complicated procedure of performing a broadcast start operation every time, and an increase in the burden is inevitable.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide an in-store broadcasting system for a game hall that can prevent the occurrence of troubles related to gaming rights in a gaming machine as much as possible by an extremely simple operation. It is to provide.

  In order to achieve the above object, in the in-store broadcasting system provided in a game hall where a large number of gaming machines are installed, a broadcasting start condition predetermined by the gaming machine is established. A signal generating means for outputting a condition satisfaction signal indicating a predetermined condition, and a customer call broadcast for calling a customer in the game hall to the gaming machine that has output the condition satisfaction signal when the condition satisfaction signal is output. Broadcast control means that repeats a predetermined number of times at an interval time of the above and a detection means that detects that the broadcast start condition has disappeared in the gaming machine, and the detection means comprises the broadcast control means. The repeat operation of the customer call broadcast is forcibly terminated when the detection state is reached.

  The invention according to claim 2 is the data for initializing the stored operation data when the specified number of visitor call broadcasts are completed by the broadcast control means while the operation data relating to the gaming machine is tabulated and stored. It is set as the structure provided with the total means.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the condition generating signal indicating that the broadcast start condition predetermined by the gaming machine is satisfied is output from the signal generating means, the broadcast control means The customer call broadcast for calling up to the gaming machine that is the output factor of the condition satisfaction signal is repeated a predetermined number of times with a predetermined interval time. In this case, if, for example, a state in which the gaming machine is occupied without being played (hereinafter referred to as a player absent occupation state) is set as the broadcast start condition, such a player absent occupation state is obtained. When a gaming machine is generated, the customer call broadcast is performed a specified number of times by only outputting a condition satisfaction signal once from the signal generating means. In other words, in order to prevent troubles related to gaming rights in gaming machines, it is necessary to perform customer call broadcasting multiple times. As shown in Fig. 5, the game hall employee performs the operation of confirming the status of the gaming machine in the absence of the player every time a predetermined time has passed multiple times, and the broadcast start operation is performed each time the confirmation is made. This eliminates the need for a very complicated procedure to be performed, and can reduce the burden on the amusement hall employees. That is, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of troubles related to gaming rights in the gaming machine as much as possible by an extremely simple operation. Further, when it is detected by the detecting means that the broadcast start condition has disappeared in the gaming machine, the broadcast control means forcibly terminates the repeat operation of the customer call broadcast. Therefore, when the player returns to the gaming machine subject to the customer call broadcast and resumes the game, that is, when the player's absence occupation state is resolved, the customer call broadcast is not required even if the game hall employee does not confirm that fact. Since the game is ended, it is not necessary to perform an operation for ending the customer call broadcast on the game hall employee side, and the burden on the employee can be reduced also in this respect.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a schematic configuration of an entire game hall system including an in-store broadcasting system according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, a pachinko machine 1 (corresponding to a game machine) and an inter-ball ball lending machine 2 installed in large numbers in the amusement hall are configured so that signals can be exchanged between them. A call lamp unit 3 is provided above the pachinko machine 1.

  The relay device 4 provided corresponding to the calling lamp unit 3 has a built-in control board on which a microcomputer is mounted, and a game related to the pachinko machine 1 and the inter-ball ball lending machine 2 corresponding to the calling lamp unit 3. A function for calculating and storing data and sales data individually based on an out signal, a safe signal, a start signal, a jackpot signal, etc. output from the pachinko machine 1, and a call lamp unit 3 and a management device for each island 5 is provided with a data relay function between the game data and the management data 5 for each island.

  The island-by-island management device 5 has a function of collecting game data related to the pachinko machine 1 of the entire island, and a data relay function via the LAN 7 between the relay device 4 and the management device 6 (corresponding to broadcast control means). I have. Although not shown, the LAN 7 has a well-known game hall terminal device (a centralized information disclosure terminal (for example, Data Robot (registered trademark)) for displaying various data for the player, A pachinko ball counter for counting balls, a POS terminal for use in prize exchange, etc.) are connected.

  The management device 6 is mainly composed of a microcomputer, and based on the transfer data from the island-by-island management device 5, game data for all pachinko machines 1 in the game hall (the number of out balls, the number of safe balls, the difference) Number of balls, utilization rate, number of balls played, base, number of starts, etc., and individual game data (number of balls (number of balls), number of starts, number of jackpots, etc.) are created for each player change Recorded history data), as well as a well-known data summarizing function for summing up and storing lending data (sales amount, divisor, etc.) for all daitama ball lending machines 2 in the game hall. Yes.

  Further, the management device 6 has a message creation function and a voice synthesis function for in-store broadcasting, and an audio signal corresponding to the created message is sent to an audio amplifier 8 provided to drive the in-store broadcasting speaker 9. It is configured to output.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the calling lamp unit 3 includes display lamps 3a, 3b and 3c arranged in three stages, for example, a data display section 3d composed of a liquid crystal panel with a backlight, and display contents by the data display section 3d. A control circuit (not shown: corresponding to detection means) including a CPU and the like, which has a data switching button 3e, a call button 3f, a remote control light receiving unit 3g, etc. Is provided.

  FIG. 3 shows a front appearance of a remote controller 10 (corresponding to signal generating means) carried by a game hall employee. The remote controller 10 uses infrared light as a transmission medium, and has a configuration capable of transmitting various signals including a customer call signal, which will be described later, to a remote control light receiving unit 3g provided in the call lamp unit 3. Yes. That is, the remote controller 10 is provided with a transmission head 10a incorporating an infrared light emitting diode, a liquid crystal display unit 10b, and an operation switch group 10c including a numeric key switch, and various signals can be selectively transmitted according to the operation. It has a configuration.

  FIG. 4 shows the contents of the customer call control routine among the contents of control by a control circuit (not shown) built in the call lamp unit 3. Hereinafter, this is shown in the data display section 3 d of the call lamp unit 3. This will be described with reference to FIG. 5 showing a display example.

In FIG. 4, in the customer call control routine, first, it is determined whether or not a customer call signal is received through the remote control light receiving unit 3g (step A1). It should be noted that this customer call signal corresponds to the condition satisfaction signal in the present invention, and has been described above that it is transmitted from the remote controller 10 carried by the game hall employee. Specifically, the remote controller 10 is configured to transmit (output) a customer call signal from the transmission head 10a when the following operations (1) and (2) are sequentially performed.
That is, referring to FIG.
(1) Operate the “call” key of the operation switch group 10c.
(2) Operate the “Send” key of the operation switch group 10c.
In order to prevent the adjacent call lamp unit 3 from erroneously receiving the customer call signal, the call lamp to which the customer call signal is to be transmitted before the operations (1) and (2) are performed. What is necessary is just to set it as the structure which inputs the unit number of the pachinko machine 1 corresponding to the unit 3 with a ten key switch.

  In this case, the game hall employee is a pachinko machine 1 in which the player is not occupied, that is, the pachinko machine 1 that is informed that the player is absent and is being played or occupied. (If a ball tray (shown with reference numeral 1a in FIG. 1) finds a cigarette or other personal item), then the player rests (uses a toilet, purchases a drink, etc.) When the player absence state is not resolved even after a necessary time (for example, about 3 to 5 minutes) elapses, it is assumed that the broadcast start condition is satisfied, and the remote control light receiving unit of the ringing lamp unit 3 from the remote control 10 The operation of transmitting the customer call signal toward 3g is performed. When receiving the customer call signal, the broadcast data start signal (this signal includes information that can identify the corresponding pachinko machine 1, for example, machine number information) is sent to the management device 6; After step A3 for starting the display of the customer call on the display unit 3d and step A4 for changing the customer call flag to ON (= 1) are sequentially executed, it is determined whether or not the customer call flag is ON (step A5). The customer call display is performed by displaying, for example, a message “Customer Calling !!” as shown in FIG. 5A on the data display unit 3d. If the customer call signal is not received ("NO" in step A1), the process jumps to steps A2 to A4 and proceeds to decision step A5.

  If it is determined in the determination step A5 that the customer call flag is off (= 0), the process returns as it is. If it is determined that the customer call flag is on, a predetermined number (for example, 100) is determined in the corresponding pachinko machine 1. It is determined whether or not the above out balls have occurred based on the out signal from the pachinko machine 1 (step A6).

  If “YES” is determined in step A 6, it is assumed that the above-described broadcast start condition has been lost, and a call broadcast end signal is sent to the management device 6 (this signal is information that can identify the corresponding pachinko machine 1. After step A7 is transmitted (for example, the vehicle number information is included), step A8 is terminated to terminate the customer call display on the data display unit 3d, and step A9 is changed to turn the customer call flag off (= 0). Return.

  On the other hand, if “NO” is determined in step A6, it is determined whether or not a customer call end signal transmitted from the management device 6 at a timing as described later is received (step A10). In the non-reception state of the customer call end signal, the process returns as it is. However, when it is received, the empty display on the data display unit 3d is started (step A11), and then the process returns to step A9. The vacant display is performed by displaying, for example, a message “Is vacant!” As shown in FIG. 5B on the data display unit 3d.

  On the other hand, FIG. 6 shows the contents of the in-store broadcast control routine related to the call broadcast start signal and the call broadcast end signal transmitted from the call lamp unit 3 as described above, among the control contents by the management device 6. Yes. However, in FIG. 6, only the control contents corresponding to one call lamp unit 3 are shown, but actually, the same control is performed for a large number of call lamp units 3.

  In FIG. 6, the management device 6 determines whether or not a call broadcast start signal transmitted from the call lamp unit 3 at the timing as described above (execution of step A2) is received (step B1). When the call broadcast start signal is received, step B2 for changing the call broadcast flag to ON (= 1), step B3 for resetting the broadcast repetition number N to the initial value “0”, for customer call broadcast described later After step B4 is started in order to start from the initial state a broadcast timer that times up in, for example, 3 minutes, it is determined whether the call broadcast flag is on (step B5). Further, when the call broadcast start signal is not received ("NO" in step B1), the process jumps from step B2 to B4 and proceeds to step B5.

  If it is determined in the determination step B5 that the call broadcast flag is off (= 0), the process returns as it is. If it is determined that the call broadcast flag is on, it is determined whether or not the broadcast timer has timed out. (Step B6).

  When the broadcast timer has not expired, it is determined whether or not the call broadcast end signal transmitted from the call lamp unit 3 at the timing as described above (execution of step A7) is received (step B7). When the call broadcast end signal is not received, the process returns as it is. However, when the call broadcast end signal is received, the process returns after executing Step B14 for changing the call broadcast flag to OFF (= 0).

  On the other hand, when the broadcast timer has expired (“YES” in step B6), the broadcast repetition count N is incremented by “1” (step B8), and thereafter, the audio amplifier 8 and the in-store broadcast speaker are incremented. 9, an in-store broadcast processing routine B <b> 9 for executing customer call broadcasting is executed.

  In this processing routine B9, a customer call broadcast including a message as exemplified below is performed according to the number of broadcast repetitions N at the time of execution (note that the maximum value of N will be apparent from the following description). “4”). In addition, “XX” in each message indicates a machine number indicated by the machine number information in the received call broadcast start signal (that is, a pachinko machine corresponding to the call lamp unit 3 that is the transmission source of the call broadcast start signal). 1 unit number).

When N = 1: “Customers playing at the XX range, please return to the game machine for confirmation.”
In case of N = 2: “Customers playing in the XX series, please return to the game machine for confirmation. If you do not return, the game machine may be opened as an empty machine. ”
In case of N = 3: “Customers playing in the XX series, please return to the game machine for confirmation. If you do not return, the game machine will be opened as an empty machine.”
When N = 4: “Customers playing in the XX series, please return to the game machine for confirmation. If you do not return, the game machine will be opened as an empty machine. please note that."
After execution of the in-store broadcast processing routine B9 as described above, it is determined whether or not the broadcast repetition count N is “4”, which is the specified count (step B10). If N <4, the process returns after executing step B11 for restarting the broadcast timer, but if N = 4, a customer call end signal is transmitted to the corresponding call lamp unit 3. After step B12, step B13 for executing empty broadcasting through the audio amplifier 8 and the in-store broadcasting speaker 9, and step B14 are sequentially executed, the process returns.

In this case, for example, the above-mentioned vacant broadcasting broadcasts, for example, “I've been waiting for you for a long time. I will open the XX platform as a vacant platform. If you want to play, please hurry to the XX platform.” Is included.
It should be noted that the objects placed in the ball tray 1a of the pachinko machine 1 are collected by the game hall employees at an appropriate timing after the empty broadcast is performed.

  In short, according to the configuration of the present embodiment, when the game hall employee finds the pachinko machine 1 occupied by the player absent, it is considered that the broadcast start condition is satisfied, and the pachinko machine is controlled from the remote controller 10. An operation of transmitting a customer call signal toward the remote control light receiving unit 3g of the call lamp unit 3 corresponding to the table 1 is performed. Then, a call broadcast start signal is transmitted from the control circuit (not shown) in the call lamp unit 3 to the management device 6, and the management device 6 that has received this signal sends the customer in the game hall to the customer call signal. The customer call broadcast for calling up to the pachinko machine 1 that is the source is repeated a predetermined number of times (4 times) with a predetermined interval time (3 minutes).

  As a result, when the pachinko machine 1 that satisfies the broadcast start condition in which the player-occupied occupation state is continued for a predetermined time or more is generated, the operation of outputting the customer call signal once from the remote controller 10 is performed for a predetermined number of times. Customer call broadcasting is automatically performed. In other words, in order to prevent troubles related to gaming rights in the pachinko machine 1 from occurring, it is necessary to perform customer call broadcasting over a plurality of times, but when trying to carry out such a plurality of times of broadcasting, As in the conventional method, the game site employee checks the status of the pachinko machine 1 in the absence of the player every time a predetermined time has passed multiple times, and broadcasts are started each time the check is made This eliminates the need for a very complicated procedure of performing operations, thereby reducing the burden on the game hall employees. That is, it is possible to prevent the occurrence of troubles related to the gaming right in the pachinko machine 1 as much as possible by an extremely simple operation.

  In addition, the control circuit in the calling lamp unit 3 indicates that the broadcast start condition has disappeared in the pachinko machine 1 and that the number of out balls in the pachinko machine 1 is a predetermined number (for example, 100) or more (pachinko machine 1 And a game broadcast end signal is transmitted to the management device 6 in response to the detection. In addition, the management device 6 that has received this call broadcast end signal is configured to forcibly end the repetitive operation of the customer call broadcast. Therefore, when the player returns to the pachinko machine 1 that is the target of the customer call broadcast and resumes the game, that is, when the player's absence occupation state is resolved, the customer call broadcast is not required even if the game hall employee confirms that fact. Therefore, it is not necessary for the amusement hall employee side to perform an operation for ending the customer call broadcast, and the burden on the employee can be reduced in this respect as well. In addition, since the customer call broadcast is automatically terminated when the game is resumed in the pachinko machine 1 that is the target of the customer call broadcast, the game hall employee side does not have the player occupied occupation state. As soon as the pachinko machine 1 is found, it is possible to carry out a process that immediately considers that the broadcast start condition is satisfied (process for starting the customer call broadcast).

  In this embodiment, the customer call broadcast is configured to be repeated four times. However, since the content of the broadcast is such that the degree of warning to the player increases as the broadcast is performed later. This is useful for increasing the effectiveness of call broadcasting.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, and can be modified or expanded as described below, for example.
The control circuit in the calling lamp unit 3 is configured to function as a data totaling unit that counts and stores the operation data related to the corresponding pachinko machine 1. When the call broadcast is completed without observing the disappearance of the broadcast start condition, the stored operation data may be initialized (however, the operation data is transferred to the management device 6 before initialization). Is desirable).

  According to this configuration, by determining that the player has not responded to the predetermined number of customer call broadcasts, it is assumed that the player of the pachinko machine 1 has been changed, and the operation data of the pachinko machine 1 is initialized. Therefore, it becomes useful in managing personal game data for each player. Also, in the management device 6, when the specified number of times (4 times) of the customer call broadcast by the management device 6 is completed without observing the disappearance of the broadcast start condition, the customer change (game end) It is also possible to adopt a configuration that initializes the personal game data that is tabulated and managed by itself (configuration such as creating a new record). Of course, such initialization is not executed when the broadcast start condition is satisfied before the predetermined number of customer call broadcasts are completed.

  When the amusement hall employee confirms that the specified number of customer call broadcasts have been performed, for example, when such an operation is performed on the premise that the remote controller 10 performs an empty space confirmation operation. In addition, it may be configured to perform empty broadcasting and empty display (see FIG. 5B) and at the same time, initialize the operation data stored in the control circuit.

  The operation state of the pachinko machine 1 is detected by the control circuit in the calling lamp unit 3 (detection that the broadcast start condition has disappeared), but the relay device 4, the island-by-island management device 5, and the management device 6 It is good also as a structure performed by either. Moreover, although the detection of the operating state of the pachinko machine 1 is performed using the number of balls out of the pachinko machine 1, the number of safe balls or the number of starts may be used. Further, the presence or absence of a player on the pachinko machine 1 is detected by a human sensor (for example, an infrared sensor) or other means, and when the detected state continues for a predetermined time or more, it is determined that the pachinko machine 1 is operating. It is good also as a structure. In addition, when an out ball is generated on the pachinko machine 1 and a human sensor (for example, an infrared sensor) provided to detect a player on the pachinko machine 1 or a human detection state using other means occurs simultaneously. In addition, it may be configured to determine that the broadcast start condition has disappeared.

  Detection of the operating state of the pachinko machine 1 (detection that the broadcast start condition has disappeared), a customer call end signal is transmitted from the remote controller 10, or the player who has returned to the pachinko machine 1 calls the call lamp unit 3. It may be replaced by operating the button 3f. Although the remote controller 10 is used to output the customer call signal (condition establishment signal), other means (for example, a dedicated operation button provided in the call lamp unit 3) may be used.

  Information indicating the number of customer call broadcasts performed up to the present time, or information indicating the remaining number of customer call broadcasts until the corresponding pachinko machine 1 is opened as a vacant base, is displayed as appropriate display means such as a call lamp unit. It is good also as a structure displayed in the 3 data display part 3d. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which includes the same information in a message format in customer call broadcast.

  The number of repetitions of the customer call broadcast (specified number of times) and the interval time between each customer call broadcast may be appropriately changed. The interval time may be configured to change as the number of customer calls increases (for example, a configuration that gradually decreases).

  In the flowchart of FIG. 4, the first customer call broadcast is performed when three minutes have elapsed after the broadcast start condition is satisfied. This first customer call broadcast is performed immediately after the broadcast start condition is satisfied. It is good also as a structure.

  In order for the game hall employees to collect the player's personal belongings and pachinko balls remaining in the ball tray 1a of the pachinko machine 1, the vacant platform display may be divided into a plurality of stages (for example, two stages). Specifically, for example, at the time of the first vacancy display (execution timing of step A11 in FIG. 4 and step B13 in FIG. 6), “Employees, please do the vacancy processing of the XX series.” In the data display section 3d of the calling lamp unit 3, a vacant display such as “Please wait for a while during vacant processing is performed” is displayed, and the game hall employee who heard the broadcast receives the vacant processing ( After performing a process of collecting and storing the placed object in the ball receiving tray 1a), for example, when a predetermined vacant operation is performed through the remote controller 10, the vacant broadcast or the vacant display as described in the above embodiment is performed. It is sufficient to adopt a configuration that performs the above.

  In the above-described embodiment, the broadcast start condition is determined to be lost when a predetermined number (for example, 100) or more out balls are generated in the pachinko machine 1, but such determination is performed in a plurality of stages (for example, 2 It is good also as a structure performed by dividing into (step). Specifically, for example, when a predetermined number (for example, 100) or more out balls have occurred in the pachinko machine 1, the broadcast start condition is temporarily determined to be lost, and the customer call broadcast is temporarily ended. When a predetermined number (for example, 500) or more out balls are not generated within a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes), the customer call broadcast without waiting for the customer call operation (transmission operation of the customer call signal by the remote controller 10). It is good also as a structure which performs. In this case, the customer call broadcast can be restarted from the point where the customer call broadcast is once ended, or the customer call broadcast can be performed from the initial state. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which implements separately broadcast for game hall employees.

  According to such a configuration, the player confirms the presence / absence of a hand-held game on two or more pachinko machines 1, and acts to intentionally eliminate the broadcast start condition (that is, 100 or a few of them are pachinko machines 1) This will be effective in detecting the act of generating an excessive number of out balls. Also, the game is performed with only 100 or more pachinko balls remaining in the ball receiving tray 1a (that is, the broadcast start condition has been lost), and it is also effective for early detection of the pachinko machine 1 that has become empty after that. Will be demonstrated.
