Description

  The present invention relates to a system for analyzing game information of a player in a game hall such as a pachinko parlor.

  In the amusement hall, the game machine is adjusted in order to bring the operation data of the game machine such as a pachinko machine close to the target value. For example, in the case of a pachinko machine, the nail adjustment is performed before opening the store, and after the store is closed, the sales result data such as the rate of opening the ball is calculated, and the nail adjustment is performed correctly depending on whether or not the result is the target value. I try to judge whether or not.

In the case of a slot machine, it is possible to adjust the probability of winning.
As described above, adjustment of the nail adjustment and the probability of winning is attempted to manage the operating status and sales results as a game arcade.
It is only necessary to adjust each gaming machine so that the entire amusement hall can be close to the target value, and all the gaming machines are rarely adjusted to the same state in order to stimulate the player's interest.
As a result, there were game machines that were tuned sweetly and often played, and those that were stubbornly tuned and rarely played.
JP 2004-298215 A

As described above, the adjustment differs depending on the gaming machine, so that even the same player is sweet, that is, when playing with a gaming machine that is adjusted to be easy to play, and when playing with a gaming machine that is difficult, that is, difficult to get out of the game machine. There is a difference in game performance such as the rate of appearance.
Naturally, the player is not informed of the above-mentioned nail adjustment and probability setting status, but there is a possibility that there may be a player who can distinguish the gaming machine that the player has adjusted sweetly from the state of the nail or the game situation. . In this way, the increase in the number of players who can distinguish the adjustment level of the gaming machine is a problem for the management of the game hall.

In other words, if a particular player recognizes a sweetly adjusted gaming machine and plays only with that gaming machine, other players can only play with a painfully adjusted gaming machine, Not only can there be a difference in game results for each player, but it may be fixed.
Then, it can happen that a player who plays with a sweetly adjusted gaming machine always wins, and a player who plays with a hardly adjusted gaming machine always loses.

Even if the player often loses, sometimes the player may return to the store in anticipation of the next win if he / she achieves a good result with a sweetly adjusted gaming machine. However, there is a concern that such a player will not come to the store if the game is continued only with the gaming machine that has been carefully adjusted as described above and the situation in which the game cannot be won continues.
In addition, when only players who can identify a game machine that has been sweetly adjusted come to the store, the game play rate will exceed the target value, and the overall rate will be close to the target value. You will have to adjust hard. If the entire gaming machine is adjusted tightly, it is possible that the number of visitors will be reduced due to the lack of popularity among all players.

In fact, if a specific player has identified a sweetly adjusted gaming machine, he must devise a method for adjusting the gaming machine and take measures to make it difficult to identify. If you can't tell the adjustment status of the machine, no action is required.
On the other hand, game information such as the sales and operating status of each gaming machine and the player's gaming results has been collected and analyzed at a game hall (see Patent Document 1).
However, from these game performance information, it was not known whether there were any players who were able to identify and play a specific game machine that was tuned in a sweet manner, and what kind of game machine adjustment would be recognized. . This is because just because a gaming machine with a high adjustment level, that is, a sweetly adjusted game machine, is identified, it is not always possible to win. In other words, just because the game results are always good, it cannot be determined that the player has identified a sweetly adjusted gaming machine.
In other words, at present, there is no data for determining whether or not the player knows and selects a game machine that has been adjusted in a sweet manner.

Therefore, even if there is a concern that sweet game machines are selected only for specific players, and as a result, the number of visitors is decreasing, the actual thing is not understood, and appropriate responses are also taken I couldn't get it.
An object of the present invention is to provide a game information analysis system that makes it possible to obtain data used as a material for inferring whether or not a game machine that has been carefully adjusted has been detected.

  The fifth invention is based on the first to fourth inventions, and the data processing means is characterized in that the gaming machine adjustment level corresponding to each gaming machine is set to a constant ratio in units of gaming machine groups set in advance. Have

According to the first to fifth inventions, it is possible to provide data for determining whether there is a player who selects a gaming machine by distinguishing the gaming machine adjustment level.
As a game hall, if it is determined that the adjustment level of the gaming machine is recognized, it is possible to take measures that cannot be recognized, and if it is determined that the level is not recognized, it will not be recognized. There is no need to take measures.
In addition, for example, even if the sales and occupancy rate do not increase, it is possible to confirm whether the cause is that only a specific player is distinguishing and playing advantageous gaming machines. Measures can be taken.

In particular, according to the third aspect of the invention, data for determining the possibility that the player has distinguished and selected a gaming machine having a favorable gaming machine adjustment level can be shown in an easy-to-understand manner.
According to the fourth invention, a face image can be used as the player specifying information. For this reason, the game site does not need to issue, for example, a card with a member ID as the player identification information, and the player does not need to carry the card.
According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to simplify the calculation for quantifying the degree of selection of a gaming machine having a favorable adjustment level.

A first embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGS.
This embodiment is a system that can provide information for determining whether or not a game machine that has been adjusted in a sweet manner is identified by a player.
In this embodiment, a case of a pachinko machine as a gaming machine will be described. The adjustment of the gaming machine of the pachinko machine includes, for example, adjustment of a nail on the game board surface, adjustment of a probability that a jackpot will occur. The nail adjustment is an adjustment of the angle of a nail at a position for guiding a ball to a specific winning opening, and the ease of entering the ball into the corresponding winning opening can be adjusted. Here, an example in which the nail adjustment is a gaming machine adjustment will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a gaming machine 2 corresponding to each gaming machine 1 is installed in the game hall adjacent to the gaming machine 1. The stand computer 2 is connected to the gaming machine 1 and also to the management computer 3. Further, the management computer 3 is connected with a game history data storage unit 4 for storing game history data in the gaming machine 1 connected to the management computer 3 via the base computer 2.

The stand computer 2 is provided with an insertion slot 5 for inserting a card, a reading unit 6 for reading a member ID from a player's membership card inserted into the insertion slot 5, and a processing unit connected to the reading unit 6 7 (see FIG. 2).
Further, the gaming machine 1 is connected to the processing unit 7, and gaming machine information related to the gaming situation such as the amount of paid-out balls and the number of out balls is input from the gaming machine 1.
In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, the management computer 3 includes a data processing unit 8 that is a data processing unit of the present invention and a data storage unit 9 that is a data storage unit.

  When a player plays a game on the gaming machine 1, the player inserts a member card into the card insertion slot 5 of the base computer 2 so that the reading unit 6 reads the member ID. When the member ID is inserted into the insertion port 5 of the base computer 2, the processing unit 7 of the base computer 2 determines the member ID read by the reading unit 6 and the game machine 1 corresponding to the base computer 2. A function of associating a machine number as machine specifying information with the machine number and transmitting it to the data processing unit 8 of the management computer 3 is provided.

  However, instead of associating a member number with a member ID, the processing unit 7 of the above-described computer 2 uses a machine number or the like that can identify the computer 2 that corresponds to the gaming machine 1 together with the member ID and the data processing unit. 8 may be transmitted. In that case, the data processing unit 8 stores in advance the correspondence between the machine number of the gaming machine 1 and the corresponding machine computer 2, and the gaming machine 1 is determined from the machine number of the machine computer 2 transmitted from the machine computer 2. Is identified and associated with the member ID. That is, the gaming machine identification information of the present invention may include identification information of the computer 2 corresponding to the gaming machine 1 in addition to data that can directly identify the gaming machine 1 such as the machine number of the gaming machine 1.

In addition to the above, the processing unit 7 of the stand computer 2 transmits the gaming machine information input from the gaming machine 1 to the data processing unit 8 of the management computer 3, and the data processing unit 8 receives the input information itself. In addition, the game history data storage unit 4 has a function of storing the totalized results as operation results.
For example, since the number of out balls, the number of payout balls, etc. are input from the gaming machine 1 through the computer 2 to the data processing unit 8, the data is stored in the game history data storage unit 4 in time series. In addition, the data is stored after being aggregated.

  In this embodiment, the data processing unit 8 has a function of counting the normal payout rate of each gaming machine 1 every day, which is represented by the machine number and the normal payout shown in FIG. It is made to memorize | store in the game history data memory | storage part 4 as a rate corresponding | compatible table. Here, the normal payout rate is the payout rate when no jackpot has occurred, and is data that easily reflects the state of nail adjustment. And the normal payout rate corresponds to the operation result of the present invention.

FIG. 3 shows the operation results for one day on December 10, 2005, but the data processing unit 8 aggregates these operation results every day and stores them in the game history data storage unit 4. Try to remember.
Furthermore, the data processing unit 8 has a function of associating the member ID and the unit number input from the computer 2 with the date of the month and storing them in the data storage unit 9. The data stored in the data storage unit 9 is, for example, a table in which a game number is associated with a game date for each member ID as shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, the member ID is the player specifying information of the present invention, and the reading unit 6 and the processing unit 7 of the computer 2 are the player specifying information input means of the present invention. Further, the data corresponding to the member ID shown in FIG. 4 and the machine number of the gaming machine played by the member is the player correspondence data of the present invention. However, the player-corresponding data may be data in which a member ID that is player specifying information is associated with each machine number that is gaming machine specifying information.
In this embodiment, the player specifying information input means is connected to the data storage unit 9 via the data processing unit 8 of the management computer 3, but the processing unit 7 of the base computer 2 is directly connected to the data storage unit 9. You may connect to.
The processing unit 7 of the computer 2 directly inputs the data in which the member ID and the machine number are associated with the date and time to the data storage unit 9, and the data processing unit 8 of the management computer 3 stores the data storage unit 9. The data shown in FIG. 3 is created for each date and stored in the data storage unit 9.

The data processing unit 8 processes various gaming machine information input during operation from the gaming machine 1, and displays the operating status for each gaming machine, the gaming results for each player specified by the member ID, and the like. A function of counting may be provided. Such processing of gaming machine information and player information may be performed by a commonly performed method such as the method described in Patent Document 1, for example.
In addition, the function for calculating the payout rate as the operation result may be processed by a calculation means different from the data processing unit 8 which is the data processing means of the present invention. When the game information analysis process of the present invention is performed, the operation result may be stored in the data storage unit 9 or the game history data storage unit 4 connected to the data processing unit 8.

  Hereinafter, a procedure for generating data for determining whether or not the data processing unit 8 of the management computer 3 recognizes a game machine with poor adjustment by a specific player will be described. However, when the following processing is performed, the gaming history data storage unit 4 stores the gaming machine information collected from the gaming machine 1 during the business hours of the gaming hall for each gaming machine 1 compiled by the data processing unit 8. Normal payout rate data (see FIG. 3) is stored as an operation result, and the data storage unit 9 associates an ID that is player identification information with a gaming machine that the player has played. Person correspondence data (see FIG. 4) must be stored.

  First, the data processing unit 8 pulls out the payout rate data shown in FIG. 3 as the operation result stored in the game history data storage unit 4 from the game history data storage unit 4. However, here, the payout rate data for the same model unit is extracted and processed. That is, here, the same model is a group unit of gaming machines of the present invention, and this group includes ten gaming machines 1. The method of determining the group is not limited to each model, but it is preferable that gaming machines having the same gaming machine adjustment method are in the same group. This is because even if it is found that the game machines that have been adjusted in a sweet manner are recognized, the group unit having the same adjustment method is easier to take measures.

  3 shows only the operation result on December 10, 2005, the data processing unit 8 is set in advance among the game result data stored in the game history data storage unit 4. The data analysis period is extracted and processed. In this embodiment, data for a period from December 10, 2005 to December 31, 2005 is used.

Next, the data processing unit 8 identifies the relative level in the group of the payout rate of each gaming machine 1 from the operation result shown in FIG. 3, and classifies it into three stages of gaming machine adjustment levels.
Specifically, the play rate of the gaming machine shown in FIG. 3 is in the range of 34.3% of the stand number 8 to 36.0% of the stand number 4, but the rank of the 10 finish numbers 1 to 10 are specified from the highest. Identification of such a rank is processing for determining a favorable condition level for the player of the present invention. In other words, the gaming machine with the first place adjusted most sweetly has a high degree of favorable conditions for the player.

When the degree of favorable condition is determined, the upper 20% is adjusted level 3, the lower 20% is adjusted level 1, and the middle 60% is adjusted level 2. (See FIG. 5). The above processing is performed on the daily operation results during the data analysis period, and daily gaming machine level data during the data analysis period shown in FIG. 6 is created and stored in the data storage unit 9.
Note that the adjustment level ratio and distribution method may be determined in any manner. The data processing unit 8 is programmed in advance, and the data processing unit 8 creates game machine level data based on the program.

  Next, based on the player correspondence data stored in the data storage unit 9 (see FIG. 4) and the gaming machine level data (see FIG. 6), the data processing unit 8 The data shown in FIG. 7 is created by associating the adjustment levels of the gaming machines on which the player has played. Then, the data processing unit 8 outputs data in which the adjustment level is associated with each member ID shown in FIG. 7 to an output unit such as a display or a printer (not shown).

  From the table in FIG. 7, it is possible to know the adjustment level of the gaming machine in which each player has played during a predetermined period, so it is possible to determine whether or not the corresponding adjustment level is biased for each player. For example, if a specific player is playing only with a loosely adjusted gaming machine, that is, a gaming machine with an adjustment level of 3, it is determined that the player may recognize the adjustment level. You can also. Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 7, since the data indicating the relationship between the player and the adjustment level of the gaming machine could not be output, is there a player who distinguishes the adjustment level of the gaming machine, particularly the game machine that is adjusted sweetly? There was no clue to guess whether. However, according to this system, it is possible to infer whether or not the adjustment level is discriminated, and the game hall can take necessary measures according to the estimation result.

  Further, the data processing unit 8 may not output the table of FIG. 7 as it is, and may output only data relating to a specific member ID. For example, if a member ID of a player with a particularly high winning rate is identified from the individual game history data of the member player, and the adjustment level of the gaming machine corresponding to the member ID is extracted and output, it is extracted. It can be inferred from the bias of the adjustment level whether the player recognizes the adjustment level. In particular, if there is a player who has identified a high adjustment level and has increased the winning percentage, it will be possible to identify a player who has identified the adjustment level rather than checking the adjustment levels corresponding to all the players from the table of FIG. It ’s more likely to be found. However, just because a game machine with a high adjustment level, that is, a sweetly adjusted game machine, is not necessarily won, it is not always possible to win. There is also a worry to overlook.

In the above description, the data processing unit 8 creates data in which the adjustment level of the gaming machine 1 on which the player has played is associated based on the member ID as the player specifying information. A member ID of a player who has played a game on the gaming machine 1 at that adjustment level may be extracted and associated with the adjustment level of 1 as a reference.
Then, based on the player correspondence data in FIG. 4 and the gaming machine level data in FIG. 6, for example, if a member ID corresponding to the adjustment level 3 is extracted and output every day, it is associated with the adjustment level 3. It can also be confirmed from the appearance frequency of the obtained member ID whether or not there is a player who has played many times with the adjustment level 3 gaming machine. Thereby, it is possible to guess the possibility that the sweetly adjusted gaming machine is identified.

In the second embodiment described below with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, the data processing unit 8 is used as data for determining whether there is a sweetly adjusted gaming machine, that is, a player who recognizes a high adjustment level 3. FIG. 7 is an embodiment in which the correspondence data between the player and the adjustment level shown in FIG. 7 is further analyzed, and the degree to which each player selects the adjustment level 3 is quantified.
Since the system configuration of the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, FIGS. 1 and 2 are also used to describe the system of the second embodiment.

Since the procedure until the data processing unit 8 creates the correspondence data between the member ID and the adjustment level of the gaming machine shown in FIG. 7 is the same as that in the first embodiment, the description of the same processing is omitted, and the data 3 to 7 are used for the explanation.
When the data processing unit 8 creates the correspondence data between the member ID and the adjustment level of the gaming machine shown in FIG. 7, each player is in the data analysis period of December 10 to December 31 of the present invention. Specifies the total number n of times that a gaming machine has been selected for gaming and the number of times x of which a higher gaming machine adjustment level 3 has been selected. The result is shown in FIG. 8. For example, a player with a member ID “B1001” selects a gaming machine eight times during the above period, and selects a gaming machine of adjustment level 3 only once. This data is a summary of the data shown in FIG.

そして、上記演算式（１）の演算結果Ｐを、図９に示している。 Then, the data processing unit 8 selects the gaming machine of the adjustment level 3 while selecting the gaming machine n times based on the total selection number n of the gaming machines and the gaming machine selection number x of the adjustment level 3. The probability P of selecting x times is calculated by the following arithmetic expression (1).
In this embodiment, 20% of the gaming machines 1 included in the group of model units to be analyzed are set to a high gaming machine adjustment level 3. Therefore, when the gaming machine is selected at random, the above adjustment level is set. The probability of selecting 3 is 20% = 1/5.

And the calculation result P of the said Formula (1) is shown in FIG.

その結果も、図９に示している。
上記確率ＰおよびＥは、いずれも、各遊技者が調整レベル３を選択した、その現象が起こりうる確率を統計的に求めた数値であり、この発明の高い遊技機調整レベルを選択した度合いとみなすことができる。 Further, the probability E of selecting a gaming machine of the adjustment level 3 at least x times by selecting n times can be calculated by the following arithmetic expression (2).

The result is also shown in FIG.
Each of the probabilities P and E is a numerical value obtained by statistically determining the probability that the phenomenon may occur, where each player has selected the adjustment level 3, and the degree to which the high gaming machine adjustment level of the present invention is selected. Can be considered.

If the data processor 8 outputs the probability P or E, or both, whether the actual phenomenon occurs more frequently than the statistically calculated probability from these data. It can be determined whether or not the player has consciously selected the adjustment level 3. For example, the player with the member ID “B1007” shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 has selected the gaming machine of the adjustment level 3 seven times out of ten selections, but the probability of selecting seven times out of ten times. P = 0.0008, and the probability of selecting 7 times or more out of 10 times is E = 0.0009. The probability P = 0.0008 means that when a game machine is selected at random, there are only 8 out of 10,000 players who make such a selection. E = 0.0009 means that there are only 9 out of 10,000 people.
In any case, this is a very unlikely case. It can be inferred that this happens because a high adjustment level is recognized.

Further, based on the probability E, the data processing unit 8 sets the “selection index” shown in FIG. 9 as a numerical value that more directly indicates the degree to which the player has selected the gaming machine in consideration of the adjustment level 3. It may be calculated and output. This selection index is calculated by the arithmetic expression (3). It is considered that the smaller the probability E is, the larger the value is, and the higher the level of awareness of the adjustment level 3 in selecting a gaming machine.

Therefore, in the game hall, when the selection index output from the data processing unit 8 is too high, it can be determined that the adjustment level is distinguished. This determination is made by a person at the game hall, but if there is data as shown in FIG. 9, it is possible to make a reasonable guess, not just an imagination.
It should be noted that a reference value is provided for the numerical values such as the probabilities P, E, the selection index, etc., and is set in the data processing unit 8, and whether the high adjustment level is discriminated by comparing the calculation result with the reference value. Alternatively, the data processing unit 8 may determine automatically.

  In this embodiment, since the ratio of the gaming machine adjustment level to be associated with each gaming machine in the gaming machine group unit is determined, when the degree of selection of the favorable gaming machine adjustment level is quantified, Simple arithmetic expressions such as the following arithmetic expressions (1) to (3) can be used. If the gaming machine adjustment level is determined in association with the absolute value of the operation result such as the payout rate, for example, without determining the ratio of the gaming machine adjustment level, a specific gaming machine adjustment level is determined. The ratio may vary from day to day. Therefore, after calculating the degree of selection of the adjustment level for each day, it is necessary to perform an operation for integrating them, which complicates the arithmetic processing.

The third embodiment shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 is an example in which the camera 10 is provided in the computer 2 associated with the gaming machine 1 and the player's face image data is used as the player specifying information instead of the member ID. is there.
As shown in FIG. 10, the base computer 2 is provided with a digital camera 10, and this digital camera 10 is connected to the processing unit 7 instead of the reading unit 6 shown in FIG. 2.

  Then, the processing unit 7 controls the digital camera 10 to continuously take a face image of a player who is playing with the gaming machine 1 and capture the face image. The processing unit 7 temporarily stores the captured face image, compares the last captured face image and the previously captured face image by image analysis, and if both match, It is determined that the player is the same player, and other than the latest face image is deleted. On the other hand, if the compared face images do not match, the change of the player is detected, and the latest face image is associated with the machine number of the gaming machine 1 and transmitted to the data processing unit 8 of the management computer 3. .

That is, the processing unit 7 is a change detection unit of the present invention, and the processing unit 7 and the digital camera 10 constitute a player specifying information input unit of the invention.
However, the processing unit 7 transmits the captured face images to the data processing unit 8 one after another without performing image analysis, and the data processing unit 8 performs image analysis to determine the change of the player. Also good.
The processing unit 7 has a function similar to that of the processing unit 7 according to the first embodiment that transmits the gaming machine information from the gaming machine 1 to the management computer 3 in addition to the function of detecting the change.

Then, the data processing unit 8 of the management computer 3 causes the data storage unit 9 to store player correspondence data in which the face image input from the processing unit 7 of the computer 2 and the machine number are associated with each other.
In FIG. 11, a face image corresponding to each unit number is associated. However, when the data is stored in the data storage unit 9, a player who associates a face image based on the unit number as shown in FIG. Corresponding data may be stored, or, as in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 4, data in which the date and time are associated with each player specifying information, that is, for each facial image, You may make it memorize | store in the data memory | storage part 9 as correspondence information.

The third embodiment is the same as the first and second embodiments except that a face image is used instead of the member ID, and the data processing unit 8 has the same function as the above embodiment. In addition, the game history data storage unit 4 stores game history data input from the gaming machine 1.
That is, the data processing unit 8 derives the operation result such as the payout rate as shown in FIG. 3 from the data stored in the game history data storage unit 4, and determines the degree of favorable conditions of each gaming machine. At the same time, game machine level data (FIG. 6) is created and stored in the data storage unit 9.

Further, the data processing unit 8 extracts and associates the gaming machine adjustment level with each player, strictly for each face image, based on the player correspondence data and the gaming machine level data, so that the members shown in FIG. It has a function of creating a table in which the ID is replaced with a face image, or a table in which face images are extracted and associated with each gaming machine adjustment level.
Further, after creating data in which the face image as the player specifying information is associated with the gaming machine adjustment level, the data processing unit 8 calculates the probability P, E, the selection index, or the like shown in FIG. , Output the calculation result. This calculation is performed in the same manner as in the second embodiment.

Also in the third embodiment, the correspondence table between the player identification information output from the data processing unit 8 and the adjustment level, and a numerical value indicating the degree of selection of the gaming machine of the adjustment level 3 that is a high adjustment level ( From FIG. 9), it is possible for the person to determine whether or not the player has recognized the gaming machine adjustment level. Further, a reference value may be set for each numerical value, and the data processing unit 8 may determine whether or not the gaming machine adjustment level is recognized.
In the third embodiment, not only the numerical values such as the probabilities P and E or the selection index are calculated and output, but also the game machine adjustment level corresponding to each player's face image is extracted and output. Alternatively, a corresponding face image may be extracted and output based on an adjustment level under favorable conditions. Alternatively, without calculating the above numerical value, a gaming machine adjustment level associated with a facial image based on the facial image or a facial image associated with the gaming machine adjustment level based on the gaming machine adjustment level may be output.
In this embodiment, since the face image is used as the player specifying information, in order to specify the same player from the face images taken at different timings, the data processing unit 8 uses the acquired face image. It is necessary to have a function to make the same or non-identical judgment as the function to analyze.

  In this embodiment, the change of the player is performed by analyzing the face image. However, the change of the player may be detected from the operating state of the gaming machine input from the gaming machine 1. For example, when a ball firing signal is input from the gaming machine 1 to the processing unit 7 of the stand computer 2 and this processing unit 7 detects that the ball firing has been stopped for a certain period of time or more, It is determined that the player's game has ended, and then, when the launch signal is detected again, it is determined that a new player has started the game. In this case, if the processing unit 7 controls the digital camera 10 to capture a face image when it is determined that the player has changed, it is not necessary to continuously capture the face image. .

  In the first to third embodiments, an example of a pachinko machine is described as a gaming machine, and a specific adjusting means for adjusting the gaming machine sweetly or painfully is described as an example of nail adjustment. The adjustment of the jackpot occurrence probability in the pachinko machine or the establishment setting in the slot machine can be the same as that in the above-described embodiment as the gaming machine adjustment. However, in the case of probability setting, it is not necessary to specify the adjustment level based on the operation result such as the above-mentioned payout rate.

  For example, if six ranks can be mechanically set for adjustment for probability setting for determining the hit probability of the slot machine, these six ranks may be used as the gaming machine adjustment level as they are, Based on this, the adjustment level can be newly set again. Specifically, among the 6 ranks, 5 and 6 with high probability are set to a high adjustment level 3, ranks 3 and 4 are set to an intermediate adjustment level 2, and ranks 1 and 2 are set to the lowest adjustment level 1. is there.

Thus, if the adjustment level according to the probability setting is specified, the gaming machine level data can be created without counting the operation results. Then, the data processing unit 8 of the management computer 3 uses the player identification information based on the player correspondence data and the gaming machine level data, as in the first embodiment, and the gaming machine selected by the player. The adjustment level can be extracted. Further, the player specifying information can be associated with the gaming machine adjustment level.
Furthermore, the data processing unit 8 can also digitize and output the degree to which the player has selected a gaming machine with a high gaming machine adjustment level, as in the second embodiment.
As a result, it is possible to confirm whether or not the player can recognize the sweetly set gaming machine.
