  Here, as a performance characteristic of the gaming table, a specific gaming state (big hit) is generated with a probability designed within a range of a predetermined reference value, and the number of times (continuous change) and appearance are generated accordingly. In addition, when the number of occurrences of a specific gaming state passes its peak, it decreases along the predetermined end curve, and when it reaches a certain end value, it increases along the predetermined ascent curve and then peaks again. It becomes. When the daily repetition of such occurrence probability is plotted, a periodic wavy line is drawn. FIG. 1 is a graph showing an example in which the degree of jackpot occurrence probability is plotted with “0” as a standard.

  Here, the occurrence probability is designed to change within a predetermined reference value range, for example, within a range of +6 to -6 in FIG. However, in game machines that are designed so that the probability of occurrence is within the same range, at the end when the probability of occurrence is the lowest, in rare cases, the probability of occurrence falls below the design range, and However, the jackpot does not occur, and the player may consume excessive game money. This phenomenon is referred to as a “sinking phenomenon”, and is also referred to as a “hamari phenomenon” particularly among players. For example, the state of the wave like the 4th day and the 10th day in the graph of FIG. 1 corresponds to this.

  Embodiments of a player relief method and a player relief system to which the present invention is applied will be described below with reference to the drawings.

(Game management system)
FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram showing an embodiment of a game management system adopting the player rescue method of the present invention. The game management system 1 includes a game store management server 3 installed in each game store 2 and a card management server 5 installed in a card management company 4, and the card management server 5 and each game store. The two game store management servers 3 are connected by a general communication line 6 such as the Internet.

  A plurality of game islands 7 are arranged in the game store 2, and each game island 7 has a game table 8 such as a pachinko game table and a table for lending game media necessary for games on the game table 8. A large number of sets of interspacers 9 are alternately arranged. The game machine 9 of each game island 7 is connected to the game store management server 3 via the island relay hub 10 and the LAN 11. The card management server 5 collectively manages gaming cards used at each gaming store 2. The game card may be a membership card 12a or a visitor card 12b issued from the card issuing machine 13.

  The game table 8 installed in the game store 2 is, for example, a pachinko game table, and the inter-board machine 9 arranged adjacent to the game machine 8 includes a card reader / writer 9a. The member card 12a is made of an IC card, for example, and player identification information and game prepaid amount information are stored and held in the member card 12a. The visitor card 12b is a prepaid card and stores prepaid amount information that can be played. The card information is read by the built-in card reader / writer 9a by inserting the game card into the inter-machine 9 and supplied to the game store management server 3. In addition, the inter-game machine 9 monitors whether the gaming store management server 3 is in a normal gaming state or a specific gaming state advantageous to the player (a jackpot state). Furthermore, in the state where the game by the same player is continuously performed, the game table 8 continues in the normal game state without changing to the specific game state, during which the game consumption amount by the player is predetermined. When the amount of money exceeds, for example, 50,000 yen, it is detected that the sinking phenomenon has occurred in the gaming table 8.

  Based on the supplied player identification information and the identification information of the gaming table 8 arranged adjacent to the inter-vehicle machine 9 that is the source of the information, the gaming store management server 3 plays a game on each gaming table 8. Identify the player who is. In addition, when receiving a notification that the sinking phenomenon has occurred from the intermediary machine 9, an instruction to respond to the immersion is sent to the intermediary machine 9. When the intermediary machine 9 receives this turn-in response command, the game on the gaming machine 8 is forcibly terminated for the player via the display unit of the intergovernment machine 9 or the display unit of the gaming machine 8. Is displayed so that the gaming table 8 cannot be used, and the gaming table 8 itself cannot be used temporarily.

  Further, the prepaid amount of the gaming card (12a, 12b) inserted in the inter-machine 9 is updated to an amount obtained by adding an increment of a certain amount, and the gaming card 12a, 12b is played. Return to the person.

Send information including information. The card management server 5 collectively manages these pieces of information. In the case of a game using the visitor card 12b, in the case of a game using cash, the above-described player identification information may be created and transmitted to the card management server 5 so as to collectively manage the information.

  Here, the game stop state of the game table 8 in which the sinking phenomenon has occurred may be canceled after a certain period. In this case, it is desirable to prohibit a game on the same game table 8 for a player who has encountered the sinking phenomenon.

  Instead of monitoring the sinking phenomenon in the inter-board machine 9, the gaming store management server 3 may monitor the occurrence of the sinking phenomenon in each gaming table 8.

  In addition, as a relief measure when a general player other than the member, that is, a general player who does not own the game card 12a encounters the intrusion phenomenon, for example, a predetermined amount of cash voucher or a predetermined amount of cash can be used. You should just give it to the person. Or you may make it issue the relief prepaid card in which the predetermined amount of the prepaid amount which is a relief amount was memorize | stored from the card issuing machine 13, and it may be given to the said player. In this case, the information indicating that the relieving measures have been taken from the card issuing machine 13 and the information such as the compensation amount may be transferred to the card management server 5 via the amusement shop management server 3. Also, information indicating that the store manager of the amusement store has taken a relief action into the card management server 5 via the amusement store management server 3 may be transmitted.

  As described above, in the game management system 1, a player performs a series of consecutive games on the game table 8 of each game store 2 within the day, and the consumption amount is consumed by a predetermined amount or more. When it is deemed that the phenomenon of sinking has occurred, or whether or not the sinking phenomenon has occurred, and if it is detected that the sinking phenomenon has occurred, a predetermined amount of cash is paid to the player In other words, a remedy is taken to issue a predetermined amount of cash voucher, issue a predetermined amount of gift certificate, issue a predetermined amount of prepaid card, or increase the prepaid amount of the game card. Therefore, it is possible to compensate for the player's damage due to the accidental occurrence of the entrapment phenomenon, thereby ensuring the provision of the game under an appropriate game rule.
