  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a prize exchange server according to an embodiment of the present invention. The prize exchange server of this embodiment is composed of a master server 1, a merchandise management DB 2, and a client server 3 of a game apparatus installation store. As a partner for transmitting / receiving information to / from the prize exchange server, an information terminal 33 of the game shop, a game machine. Examples include an information terminal 4 owned by a user, an information terminal 5 of a merchandise wholesaler or a WEB mail order dealer. The master server 1 and the client server 3 are connected via a network. This connection may be made using the Internet or a dedicated line. The connection between the information terminal 33 of the amusement store, the information terminal 4 owned by the user of the amusement device, the information terminal 5 of the merchandise wholesaler or WEB mail order dealer, and the client server 3 may be the Internet, a mobile phone line, Any other type of connection is possible as long as it is a connection that can transmit and receive data to and from each other. The master server 1 manages the product management WEB site 11, and the client server 3 manages the WEB site 31 of the store where the game machine is installed. The client server 3 may be provided with a client DB 32 as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of each means for realizing prize exchange in the present embodiment. The right point conversion means 34 is mounted on the information terminal 33 of the amusement store. The system management means 10 includes a master server 1 and a product management DB 2. The prize exchange means 42 is mounted on the information terminal 33 of the amusement store and the information terminal 4 of the user. The prize exchange compliant ordering means 12 is mounted on the master server 1 and transmits / receives information to / from an information terminal 5 of a merchandise wholesaler or a WEB mail order dealer. The point exchange means 6 is mounted on the information terminal 33 of the amusement store and the information terminal 4 of the user.

  The prize exchange server of this embodiment mainly constitutes a prize exchange system for game machines such as pachinko and slots, but the applicable range is not limited to these, and pachinko balls such as game centers are not limited. Any gaming device that exchanges winning prizes such as medals and medals for prizes can be applied.

  In normal prize exchange, prize exchange is performed as shown in the flowchart of FIG. In other words, in stores that have a so-called storage system that stores winning items such as pachinko balls and medals as data in a storage card member card such as a magnetic card, the number of winning balls is stored in the storage member card after the game ends. It is possible to memorize. Also, you can exchange some or all of the prizes.

Since convenience in exchange for premiums is inadequate, cashing by exchange with special prizes has become the mainstream as a trend of users, as opposed to exchange for prizes. For this reason, there is a psychology that the merchandise that is not exchanged for the amusement store does not want to be placed on the counter as much as possible. Therefore, the product variation placed on the free gift exchange counter is reduced, and the product that the user wants to exchange free gifts is not placed on the free gift exchange counter. Due to the situation, cashing by exchanging with special prizes was further spurred, and a vicious circle occurred in which amusement stores were also equipped with highly gambling amusement devices in order to respond to the tendency of customers.

  In the free gift exchange system using the free gift exchange server of the present embodiment, a variety of exchange free gifts can be prepared without the need for store installation by using the net shop format, and at the same time, the free space exchange counter installation space of the store Can be used effectively. In addition, for the user, there is no restriction on the procedure time for giving away the gift, and the user can select a gift to exchange at any time, and this gift exchange is devised so as not to violate the laws and regulations. Therefore, it can be expected that the exchange rate with the general prize is improved by introducing the prize exchange system of the present invention.

It becomes possible.

  The prize exchange flow of the prize exchange system of the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 4 shows a flow in the case where the storage system is already introduced and the prize exchange is performed within the opening time of the amusement store. First, a customer who is not a member of the savings ball system is asked to join a savings ball member. At this time, an ID and a password are issued from the client server 3 of the amusement store and used for the client server 3 or the client DB 32 referred to by the client server 3. Record customer user information. The user who has finished the game stores the winning thing as data on the savings card. In this case, the information terminal 33 of the amusement store stores the information on the number of winning items acquired as a reward point for the prize exchange on the storage member card as the storage medium 41.
