  However, there are a lot of players who do not want others to see the operating data of the gaming machine they are currently playing. The operational data during the game is the game performance of the player, and it is natural to have a feeling that the operational data is not desired to be disclosed, especially when it is in a bad state (when it is not out). There is also anxiety that when other players see operational data, they are targeted for so-called hyena behavior. Therefore, if the operation data is unconditionally disclosed, there is a risk that the player's mood may be harmed. On the other hand, when you are in good condition (when you are out), it is also true that you want to show off your operational data to others and brag about it.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game data display system that does not harm the player even if the operation data is disclosed.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, operation data storage means for collecting and storing operation data of a plurality of gaming machines installed in the game arcade, and a player designates a gaming machine that is a display target of the operation data. A gaming data display system comprising: a gaming machine designating means for operating; and an operating data display means for reading out and displaying the operating data of the gaming machine designated by the gaming machine designating means from the working data storage means. According to the operation of the disclosure prohibition operation means, which is provided corresponding to each and operated by the player playing the game machine to prohibit the disclosure of the operation data of the game machine, and the disclosure prohibition operation means Based on the information stored in the disclosure prohibition information storage means for storing information capable of identifying the gaming machine for which the disclosure of the operation data is prohibited, and the information stored in the disclosure prohibition information storage means, It is determined whether or not the release of the operation data of the gaming machine designated by the designation unit is prohibited. When it is determined that the disclosure of the operation data is prohibited, the operation data of the gaming machine by the operation data display unit is determined. And a public prohibition means for prohibiting the display of.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, it is determined whether or not the operating data satisfies a predetermined disclosure prohibition permission condition, and when it is determined that the operating data satisfies the prohibition of the operation data display by the disclosure prohibiting means. It is characterized in that it has a public prohibition permission means for permitting.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since it is possible to limit the operation data of the gaming machine in which the player is playing from being displayed to other people, his / her gaming results are not exposed and he / she does not feel bad.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the player is permitted to prohibit the release of the operation data only when the operation data satisfies a predetermined disclosure prohibition permission condition, the game hall side can transfer to other players. Operational data in the range that you want to be disclosed as a minimum as an appeal of.

  As described above, the control unit 15 displays the operation data of the other machine for each model or each machine number by executing the game information display process (A8) of the other machine. The operating data of the model or the machine number can be browsed.

  Browsing of operating data of such gaming machines is carried out in many amusement halls as part of services for players. However, some players think that they do not want to view operational data representing their game results when they are in a bad condition (when they are not out). Therefore, when the gaming machine terminal device 3 of the present embodiment thinks that the player does not want to disclose his / her operational data, the gaming machine terminal device 3 may prohibit the disclosure of the operational data when a predetermined condition is satisfied. It is configured as possible.

When the operation data is received from the relay terminal 12 (B2: YES) in the game information display process of the own machine shown in FIG. 20, the control unit 15 updates the display of the corresponding operation data (B3), and prohibits permission. -A cancel process is executed (B4).
FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing prohibition permission / cancellation processing by the control unit 15.
The control unit 15 calculates the difference number (safe-out) based on the operation data received from the relay terminal 12 (C1), and determines whether the difference number is equal to or less than the permitted number (C2). Here, the permitted number is used as a disclosure prohibition permission condition for determining whether or not to prohibit the disclosure of the operation data by the player, and is the upper limit value of the difference number for each model shown in FIG. It is. At the start of the game, since the difference number indicating the number of acquired players is equal to or less than the permitted number (C2: YES), it is determined whether or not a prohibition permission flag permitting prohibition of disclosure of operation data by the player is on. (C3). This prohibition permission flag is a flag indicating that the prohibition of disclosure of the operation data by the player is permitted.

  When the player touches the “set” button P15 in order to set the disclosure prohibition, the control unit 15 determines that the “set” button P15 is turned on (D2: YES), and issues a disclosure prohibition command to the management device. 10 (D3). At this time, the control unit 15 turns on the prohibited flag. This prohibition flag is a flag indicating that the player has set not to disclose the operation data of the player. Upon receiving the disclosure prohibition instruction, the management apparatus 10 sets “1” in the “Disclosure” column of the operation data for each member shown in FIG.

Next, the control unit 15 displays a disclosure prohibition message S3 (D4).
FIG. 15 shows the disclosure prohibition message S <b> 3 displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 4. This disclosure prohibition message S3 is a pop-up display on the game information screen of the player's own game that the disclosure of the game information is prohibited.
Next, the control unit 15 displays the game information screen of the own device (D5), displays the disclosure prohibition mark M1 on the game information screen of the own device as shown in FIG. 16 (D6), and returns. Thereby, the player can understand that the operation data of the player is set to be prohibited from disclosure.

By executing the prohibition permission / cancellation process as described above, the player can perform an operation for prohibiting the disclosure of the operation data of the player.
Next, a description will be given of the case of browsing the operation data of another machine that is prohibited from disclosing operation data as described above.

When a player designates a machine number on the machine number designation screen shown in FIG. 12 in order to view the game information of other machines, the gaming machine terminal device 3 requests the management device 10 for operating data of the designated machine number. To do.
In the operation data transmission process of FIG. 24, the management device 10 determines that the operation data request from the gaming machine terminal device 3 is a machine number designation (E2: YES), and when the prohibited flag is on (E4) : YES), information indicating that the designated machine number and disclosure are prohibited is transmitted to the gaming machine terminal device 3 as disclosure prohibition information (E7). The gaming machine terminal device 3 that has received the disclosure prohibition information displays a disclosure prohibition message S4 on the liquid crystal display unit 4.

FIG. 17 shows a disclosure-prohibited message S 4 displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 4. This disclosure-prohibited message S4 is a pop-up message indicating that the release of game information is prohibited on the game information screen of the designated machine number.
As described above, in this embodiment, when the player does not want to disclose his / her operation data, the operation data can be prohibited from being disclosed. The management apparatus 10 also transmits only the disclosure prohibition information indicating that the disclosure is prohibited without transmitting the operation data for the machine number for which the disclosure of the operation data is prohibited. However, the amusement hall side does not prohibit the operation data of all the machines from being disclosed, but intends to disclose the operation data of the machines that are frequently used. In other words, the amusement hall side wants to take in players with the impression that it is “a store that is often visited” by releasing the number of jackpots.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the difference number in the operation data for each member exceeds the permitted number, the operation data of the table that is often used is disclosed by disabling the prohibition of disclosure of the operation data by the player. It is configured to be possible.

  In the prohibition permission / cancellation process of FIG. 21 executed when the operation data is received from the relay terminal 12, the control unit 15 increases the number of digested games of the player, and the difference number indicating the number of acquired players is the permitted number. Is exceeded (C2: NO), it is determined whether the forbidden flag is on (C6). If the forbidden flag is off (C6: NO), it is determined whether the forbidden flag is on (C10). If the forbidden flag is off (C10: NO), the process returns as it is. . If the prohibition enable flag is on (C10: YES), the prohibition enable flag is turned off (C11), and the “open prohibition” button P3 displayed on the game information screen of the own device in FIG. C12), return.

If the prohibited flag is on (C6: YES), the prohibited flag and the prohibited flag are turned off (C7), and the public prohibition mark M1 displayed on the game information screen of the player is turned off. Then (C8), a disclosure prohibition release message S5 is displayed in a pop-up (C9), and the process returns.
FIG. 18 shows the disclosure prohibition release message S5 displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 4. This disclosure prohibition release message S5 pops up a message indicating that the disclosure prohibition has been canceled because the difference number exceeds the permitted number on the game information screen of the player.

As described above, when the difference number exceeds the permitted number, the prohibition of releasing the operation data is prohibited by the prohibition permission / cancellation process. For this reason, the operation data is disclosed for the table that the game hall side wants to disclose the operation data, that is, the table that is frequently used.
Such an operation for prohibiting the disclosure of the operation data and the calculation of the difference number as the disclosure prohibition condition are performed when the member card 6 is inserted. Therefore, when the player finishes the game and takes out the member card 6 from the gaming machine terminal device 3, the control unit 15 executes a process of releasing the prohibition permission flag and the prohibition flag along with the discharging process of the member card 6.

  FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing card ejection processing by the control unit 15. The control unit 15 determines whether or not the card ejection button 8 is turned on (F1), and when it is off (F1: NO), it returns.
