In the store, it is possible to quickly and efficiently provide useful information regarding the gaming table that the player is going to play to the player.

  Exemplary embodiments of a game information providing system and a game information providing method according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description will focus on the case where model information including the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of a pachinko machine manufacturer site is provided to a player.

  First, the concept of the game information providing system according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the concept of the game information providing system according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, a holding unit 51 is provided on the platform machine 50 provided in the pachinko machine 40, and when the player's mobile phone 70 is held over the holding unit 51 (step S1). The model information including the URL is transmitted from the reader / writer in the inter-machine 50 to the IC chip 80 in the mobile phone 70 (step S2).

  Then, the IC chip 80 that has received the model information instructs the main control unit in the mobile phone 70 to start the browser and notifies the received URL (step S3). The main control unit of the cellular phone 70 that has received this activation instruction activates the browser and sets the received URL to enter a site accessible state, and when the user performs a predetermined network connection operation, the main control unit Access is made (step S4).

  As described above, in this embodiment, the communication between the three parties (the communication between the three parties) of the reader / writer in the inter-machine 50, the IC chip 80 in the mobile phone 70, and the main control unit of the mobile phone 70 is performed. In addition, a guidance service to a site that provides model information of a desired pachinko machine to a player having a mobile phone 70 is performed.

  According to the present embodiment, when various types of pachinko machines 40 are arranged in the amusement shop, the model information of the pachinko machines 40 is provided to the intermediary machine 50 provided alongside these pachinko machines 40. If the URLs of the manufacturer sites to be stored are respectively stored, the player can simply operate the pachinko machine 40 by holding the mobile phone 70 over the holding part 51 of the intermediary machine 50 provided in the desired pachinko machine 40. Therefore, it is possible to easily obtain model information of a desired pachinko machine 40 without preparing a conventional booklet.

  At this time, if such a site provides a wide variety of information about the pachinko machine 40, the player may obtain not only information with a low value at a conventional booklet level but also the latest and detailed information. it can. Further, when a player registers the URL displayed on the browser as a favorite, the player can check the model information even at home other than the amusement store, so that the player can obtain useful information regardless of the location. It becomes possible.

  Next, the system configuration of the game information providing system according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a system configuration of the game information providing system according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, this game information providing system has a configuration in which a management device 10, an island controller 20, a pachinko machine 40, and a platform machine 50 are connected via a line 30.

  The management device 10 is a management device that manages the URL notified to the mobile phone 70 of the player via the above three-party communication. The management device 10 stores the URL of the manufacturer site that provides model information of each pachinko machine 40 disposed in the amusement store, and the URL stored therein when a predetermined URL setting operation is performed. Are transmitted to the corresponding intermediary machine 50 via the line 30. It should be noted that the role of the management apparatus 10 can also be assigned to a terminal controller (T / C) or hall computer that has been conventionally arranged in a game store.

  The island controller 20 is a relay device provided on each island in the amusement store, and is interposed between the management device 10 and the inter-vehicle machine 50. When the island controller 20 receives the URL and the identification information of the transmission-destination machine 50 from the management apparatus 10, the island controller 20 transmits the corresponding URL to the corresponding machine 50.

  The pachinko machine 40 is a gaming machine that provides a pachinko game using pachinko balls, and the inter-machine 50 is a so-called ball lending machine that performs a pachinko ball lending process to a player. The inter-machine 50 has a reader / writer 57 that stores the URL received from the management apparatus 10 in the apparatus and performs non-contact communication with the IC chip 80 in the mobile phone 70.

  When the cellular phone 70 is held over the holding unit 51 of the intermediary machine 50, the URL is transmitted to the IC chip 80 of the cellular phone 70 via the reader / writer 57. The IC chip 80 that has received this URL instructs the main control unit of the mobile phone 70 to start a browser and transfers the received URL to the main control unit.

More specifically, the ID of each machine 50, the ID of the machine, the model of the pachinko machine 40 attached to each machine 50, the URL corresponding to the pachinko machine 40, and the acquisition date and time. It is memorized (see FIG. 4).

  The reader / writer 57 performs non-contact communication with the IC chip 80 in the mobile phone 70. Specifically, when the cellular phone 70 is held over the holding unit 51 of the intermediary machine 50, the URL is transmitted to the IC chip 80 of the cellular phone 70 via the reader / writer 57. The IC chip 80 that has received this URL instructs the main control unit of the mobile phone 70 to start a browser and transfers the received URL to the main control unit.

  The control unit 58 is a control unit that controls the entire table machine 50, and includes a ball lending processing unit 58a and an information provision processing unit 58b. The control unit 58 issues a ball lending instruction to the pachinko machine 40 or controls information provided to the player.

  The ball lending processing unit 58a gives a pachinko ball lending instruction to the pachinko machine 40 when the player accepts cash. Further, when a valuable medium such as a card is accepted, if a purchase amount (remaining frequency) data valued to the card is received from a valuable medium management device (not shown), and a ball lending operation is performed by the player The ball lending instruction is given to the pachinko machine 40 according to the purchase amount (the remaining number) of the accepted number of balls.

  The information provision processing unit 58b controls the information provided to the player using the URL information 56a. Specifically, URL information 56a is received when the provided information set in the management device 10 is received by an attendant at a game store, or when the player performs an operation over the holding unit 51 of the intermediary machine 50, the URL The URL information stored in the information 56a is transmitted to the IC chip 80 via the reader / writer 57.

  According to the present embodiment, information to be provided to the player is set in the management device 10 and the URL is simultaneously transmitted in association with the machine ID of the machine 50 on each island. By eliminating the trouble of setting each URL for the machine 50, it is possible to reduce the work burden on the staff of the amusement store.
