Description

  The present invention relates to a game information display device that displays game information of a gaming machine installed in a game hall to a player.

  In the amusement hall, a game information display device that displays game information corresponding to the gaming machine is installed in order to appeal the game appearance to the player (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2003-135662 A

  As described in Patent Document 1, the appeal of the appearance of a ball can be appealed by displaying game information such as the highest number of balls and the number of jackpots, and past game information such as the previous business day. Although it is possible, it is difficult to give a player a sense of expectation for the future game only by displaying the highest game information. That is, for example, even if the game information achieved one month ago is displayed, the game information has not been updated over a long period of time, so it is unlikely that the game information can be obtained in future games. In addition, simply displaying past game information may cause the player to miss game information to be appealed. As described above, in the conventional game information display device, it has been difficult to appeal to the player for the game appearance including the expectation for the future game.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object thereof is to effectively extract game information desired to be appealed to a player and to maximize the appearance feeling. The object is to provide a game information display device.

  The invention described in claim 1 is a game period to be extracted in a game information display device for displaying game information of a gaming machine installed in a game hall to a player. Period setting means for setting a target period that is a game period including at least one of them, target information setting means for setting extraction target information that is game information to be extracted, and the extraction target for each predetermined condition in the target period History means for creating and storing history information capable of specifying the value of information, highest information storage means for storing highest information representing the highest value of the extraction target information, and history stored by the history means Extraction means for extracting extraction information representing the maximum value of the extraction target information in the target period from information, extraction information extracted by the extraction means, and maximum information storage means To have the feature was provided with display means for comparably displaying the highest information stored, the.

  The invention described in claim 2 includes a determination unit that determines whether or not the extraction information and the highest information match when the extraction information is extracted by the extraction unit, and the display unit includes the display unit When the determination means obtains a determination result that the two match, at least one of the extracted information and the highest information is displayed to the effect that the both match, while the determination result that the two do not match is obtained In some cases, the extracted information and the highest information are respectively displayed, so that the extracted information and the highest information are displayed in a comparable manner.

  The invention described in claim 3 divides the target period into a plurality of periods in units of business days, sets a divided period as a divided period, and sets a threshold corresponding to each divided period Setting means, and the history means stores the history information over a plurality of business days so that the maximum value of the extraction target information corresponding to each segment period can be specified, and the extraction means includes: When the threshold value corresponding to each segment period is compared with the maximum value of the corresponding extraction target information specified by the history information, and the maximum value is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the extracted information in the period The display means is characterized in that the extracted information is displayed with priority given to the segment period close to the business day of the day among the segment periods.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the extraction unit extracts the extraction information in order from a segment period close to a business day of the day among the segment periods, and the display unit extracts the extraction information by the extraction unit. By specifying and displaying the extracted information to be displayed in response to being performed, a business day corresponding to the extracted information or a business day corresponding to the extracted information is given priority in the segment period close to the business day of the day. The present invention is characterized in that the divided period to which it belongs can be specified.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the history means is the detailed history which is the game history in which the value of the extraction target information for each event occurrence can be specified with the event occurrence corresponding to the extraction target information as the predetermined condition. Is created on the business day of the day, and the value of the extraction target information corresponding to each business day is the business history on the business day when the predetermined number of days have passed since the business day of the day. A possible daily history is created by extracting the value of the extraction target information representing the maximum value from the detailed history and associating it with the business day corresponding to the detailed history, and for each business day belonging to the target period The extraction corresponding to each period set by dividing the game history in the target period by the period dividing means by storing at least one of the detailed history and the daily history The extraction means stores a plurality of business days so that the maximum value can be specified, and the extraction means extracts the maximum value from the detailed history for the business days corresponding to the detailed history. While extracting as the maximum value in the day, for the business day corresponding to the daily history, the value of the extraction target information specified by the daily history is extracted as the maximum value in the business day, and the maximum for each extracted business day The maximum value is extracted for each period divided by the period dividing means from the values and compared with the threshold, and the highest information stored by the highest information storage means is the occurrence of the event on the business day of the day. Accordingly, the game information is updated when the value of the extraction target information exceeds the maximum information.

  According to the invention described in claim 1, it can be said that the highest information is information representing the limit value of the gaming machine on the actual results, while the extracted information represents the limit value of the current gaming machine, that is, the present situation of the gaming machine. It can be said that it is information, and it is possible to grasp how close the current gaming machine is to the limit by displaying both of them in a comparable manner. Can appeal to the person.

  According to the invention described in claim 2, the highest information is renewed at the beginning of the introduction of the gaming machine in which the gaming machine is adjusted inadequately and the operation is the highest, but after that, it is not easily updated. Since the player knows that, even if there is an update in the near past, it is assumed that it has been updated at the beginning of the game, and there is an update in the near future. Even if the game is upward, the player has been playing without grasping it, but when the highest information is updated with the extracted information indicating the current situation of the gaming machine, the fact is notified so that the current situation of the gaming machine is limited. It is possible to appeal to the player that the state is close to, and the motivation for gaming can be increased.

  According to the invention described in claim 3, when extracting the extracted information with the target period being, for example, the previous business day, the game information to be appealed is not necessarily on the previous business day. Also, if the target period is extended to one week, it may be questioned whether the game information for which the period has passed will be appealing even if it is extracted under the same conditions as the game information for the previous day when the period has not passed. Since the period is divided into division periods, a threshold is set for each division period, and if it does not exceed the threshold, it is not included in the extraction target, so a low threshold is set for the division period close to the business day of the day, A high threshold can be set for a segment period far from the business day of the current day, and for a segment period close to the business day of the current day, it is far from the business day of the current day while eliminating game information that does not reach the conditions to be extracted at all. Regarding the segment period, notable game information can be extracted as extraction information, and appropriate extraction information can be notified to the player in order to grasp the current state of the gaming machine.

  According to the invention described in claim 4, the game information extracted as the extracted information is game information corresponding to any one of the division periods, and the division period close to the business day of the day is displayed with priority. . That is, among the players who grasp the state of the gaming machine based on the extracted information, the player who thinks that the better the game information in the near past as described above, the better the result is expected in this game. The game motivation increases as the period extracted in the extracted information is closer to the business day of the day, while the game motivation decreases as the period extracted in the extracted information is farther from the business day of the day. On the other hand, if the game information in the past that is close to the business day of the day is poorer, the player who thinks that the game is expected to have a better result, the opposite of the above player Become an idea. That is, as described above, effective game information can be provided to both of two types of players who have conflicting ideas.

  According to the invention described in claim 5, when a long period is set as the target period, the storage capacity and the processing load increase. In addition, detailed history information can be shared with other game information on the nearest business day including the business day of the day, so it is necessary to store detailed history information. If the same period is set as the business day of the day and the frequency is shared, the longer the target period is set, the more storage area is required, but detailed information and daily information can be stored. However, it is only necessary to shift to the daily information when there is no possibility of sharing the detailed information, and even if the target period is set to be long, it is not necessary to secure a large storage area.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration. A lending device 2 and an information display device 3 (game information display device according to the present invention) are installed in the game hall corresponding to a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as a gaming machine) 1, and a management device is installed in the management room. 4 is installed. The relay device 5 is connected to the two lending devices 2, the two information display devices 3, and the management device 4. The management device 4 receives a game signal transmitted from the gaming machine 1 side (the gaming machine 1 and the lending device 2 etc.) via the relay device 5. Although omitted in FIG. 1, several hundred gaming machines 1 are connected to and managed by the management device 4.

  The management device 4 includes a control unit including a CPU, a storage unit including an HDD, a RAM, and a ROM, a transmission / reception unit including an I / F, an output unit including a monitor and a printer, and an operation unit including a keyboard and a mouse. The game information is configured for each gaming machine ID (so-called machine number) individually assigned to the gaming machine 1 and has a function of specifying a total calculation value.

The gaming machine 1 to be managed includes a general (normal symbol) winning port 6, a first starting port 7, a second starting port 8, a display unit 9, and a grand winning port 10, and operates as follows. .
(1) A jackpot lottery is performed in accordance with the winning at the first start port 7 or the second start port 8, and based on the lottery result, a symbol variation by a so-called special symbol (special symbol) is executed on the display unit 9, A jackpot is generated according to the result. The upper limit of the so-called holding balls is four each, and if the start winning is made during the holding, the upper limit is held, and after the symbol change ends, the held symbol variation is executed sequentially.
(2) The winning probability (bonus probability) of the jackpot lottery is 1/310, and the ratio of the jackpot that will be in a probable change state (probability variation) after the jackpot is 66.6%. Further, the probability is assigned so that the corresponding round (R) has a ratio of 2R: 15R = 1: 9.

(3) When a big win occurs, the big winning opening 10 is opened by an amount corresponding to the corresponding round (R). The 1R upper limit winning number is 10 and the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds. When either the upper limit winning number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied, 1R is ended.
(4) During probability change, the jackpot probability is improved to 1/31 and the winning rate to the second starting port 8 is improved. Since the probability change continues until the next jackpot, it continues until a jackpot (ordinary jackpot) that becomes a normal gaming state (normal) after the jackpot occurs.
(5) After the normal jackpot that occurred during the probability change, the time until the special symbol variation of 100 times will be shortened and will return to normal after the 100 symbol variation, but if the normal jackpot occurs during the normal time It becomes normal without passing through time.

The gaming signal shown below is output from the gaming machine 1 side.
Out signal: a signal output from an out BOX that collects used balls. Since one pulse is output for 10 recovered (used and driven) balls, the number of out signals × 10 is specified as the number of used media (out). In addition, you may output from the gaming machine 1.
Safe signal: a signal output from the gaming machine 1. Since one pulse is output for 10 payout balls, the number of safe signals × 10 is specified as the number of payout media (safe). Note that the replenishment signal from the replenishing device may be a safe signal.

Start signal: a signal output from the gaming machine 1. 1 pulse is output per symbol change (actual action, start processing) on the display unit 9 (actual function) that fluctuates (operates) due to winning at the first start port 7 or the second start port 8 The number of signals × 1 is specified as S. A winning signal to the starting port may be used as a start signal.
Jackpot signal: A signal output from the gaming machine 1. It is a status signal that is output during a big hit.
Probability change signal: a signal output from the gaming machine 1. It is a state signal (special game state signal) that is output at a level during probability change or time reduction. A state signal that distinguishes between the probability change and the short time may be used as the special game state signal.

  The lending device 2 has a touch panel type information display unit 11, and pays out the number of balls according to the value of money inserted into the money insertion slot 12 from the ball dispensing outlet 13 to the ball tray 14 of the gaming machine 1. The information display device 3 includes a control unit (mainly a period setting unit, a target information setting unit, a history unit, an extraction unit, a determination unit, a period division unit, a threshold setting unit), a RAM, a ROM, etc. A storage unit (the highest information storage unit in the present invention), a transmission / reception unit having an I / F, and a display unit 15 (a display unit in the present invention) for displaying game information by an LED, a liquid crystal display, or the like.

  FIG. 2 is a front view of the information display device 3. The information display device 3 is provided with a data switching button group 16 including a plurality of data switching buttons including a news button 16a, a call button 17, and the display unit 15 described above. The display unit 15 includes a jackpot number display unit 15a, a jackpot breakdown display unit 15b, a current day ball display unit 15c, a one day previous ball display unit 15d, a two day previous ball display unit 15e, and a record high continuation number display unit. 15f, the past maximum hit number display part 15g, the info display part 15h, the telop display part 15i, and the S display part 15j are provided.

  The information display device 3 accepts a setting operation indirectly through the management device 4 or accepts a setting operation directly by a remote control operation or the like, so that the news basic setting shown in FIG. 3 and the news content shown in FIG. Settings can be set. In the basic news settings, items of “game information”, “output time”, “condition” and “period” are set, and the meanings of these items are as follows.

“Game information”: game information to be displayed as news. In the case shown in FIG. 3, “continuation” and “departure” are set (the meanings of “continue” and “departure” will be described later). ).
“Output time”: This is a timing for displaying news, and is a set value for S after the jackpot in the normal state. Set up to 2 digits of S in “Output time 1”, and set 3 or more digits of S in “Output time 2”. That is, in the case shown in FIG. 3, if “game information” is “continuation”, the timing of S = 35, 235, 435, 635, 835, 1035 is the output time, and “game information” is “out of play”. If so, the timing of S = 135, 335, 535, 735, 935, 1135 is the output timing.
“Condition”: a threshold for extracting game information to be displayed as news, “Condition 1” corresponds to “First Period”, “Condition 2” corresponds to “Second Period”, “ “Condition 3” corresponds to “third period”.
“Period”: A period corresponding to “Condition”, which is set in units of business days.

  In the news content setting, each item of “common”, “individual document”, “news A”, “news B”, “date”, “advance time”, and “time zone” is set. The meaning is as follows.

“Common”: Main sentences that are the targets of news display. Select the location of ★★ according to the corresponding conditions.
“Individual document”: One of the correspondence conditions “continuation” and “departure” is the game basic setting game information shown in FIG. 3, and is the first half of ★★ corresponding to the correspondence condition. Here, ☆☆ is a sentence selected based on “date” and “time zone”, and ** is extracted information (corresponding information extracted from the previous day history shown in FIG. 6 described later (game set by basic news settings) It is the value of the game information)) that is the output time of the information.

“News A”: The second half of ★★ when news A is selected (when the highest information shown in FIG. 7 described later is updated with extracted information).
“News B”: The second half of ★★ corresponding to the correspondence condition to which the correspondence information belongs when news A is not selected. In addition, ** is a value of correspondence information in the highest information shown in FIG.

“Date”: The first half of ☆☆ corresponding to the corresponding condition in which the corresponding condition is the range to which the “target” of the previous day history shown in FIG. 6 belongs. “?” Is a day value.
“Feeding time”: “Min” carrying set value for displaying only the “hour” as the last part of ☆☆. “Time” of the previous day history shown in FIG. 6 is an object, and if it is “30 minutes” illustrated in FIG. 4, “0 to 29 minutes” is not carried forward, and “30 to 59 minutes” is carried forward to the next “ Time ".
“Time zone”: The latter half of ☆☆ corresponding to the correspondence condition in which the correspondence condition is set to the range to which “time” set by the above-mentioned advance time belongs. At the end of the sentence, “hour” set by the advance time is displayed by 12 hour display or 24 hour display.

  The information display device 3 includes a storage area shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 corresponding to game information to be a news display target. FIG. 5 shows a history storage area for each sweet mode of the day, and a record is created each time a sweet mode (a big hit in a normal state) occurs, and corresponding game information is stored according to a flowchart described later. The meaning of each item in FIG. 5 is as follows.

“NO”: Record NO. This corresponds to the number of occurrences of the sweet mode (special game state, big hit from normal, so-called first hit).
“Time”: Time of occurrence of the last jackpot in the corresponding sweet mode.
“S”: The number of symbol fluctuations until the sweet mode occurs, that is, after the jackpot in the normal state.
“Continue”: The number of jackpots that occurred during the corresponding sweet mode.
“Out of ball”: The number of balls in the corresponding sweet mode (safe-out).
“Target”: The target business day.

  FIG. 6 shows the history storage area before the previous day. When the date is updated, the record indicating the maximum value for each game information (continuation, appearance) from the history storage area for each day sweet mode shown in FIG. Extract one of them and store them for 7 days. “Target” in FIG. 6 is a target business day.

  FIG. 7 is a storage area for game information that is a display target of the record high continuation number and the record maximum hit number, and stores the record maximum continuation number and the number of balls in the target gaming machine 1. It is updated when the current maximum information is exceeded in the history storage area for each sweet mode on the day. The information display device 3 can switch and display the game information of the corresponding gaming machine 1 by the operation of the data switching button group 16 by a function of a so-called call lamp that displays a call when the call button 17 is pressed and a liquid crystal display. Therefore, a storage area other than those shown in FIGS. 5 to 7 is also provided as needed. It should be noted that the period covered by the highest information in FIG. 7 is a period from the start of a predetermined event such as the introduction of the gaming machine 1, the event holding, or the moving installation of the gaming machine 1 to the present. This is different from a period (target period referred to in the present invention) that goes back by a set period. That is, before the elapse of the predetermined period after the predetermined event, it can be the same as the period set in FIG. 3, but after the elapse, it becomes longer than the period set in FIG. 7 is a period set in FIG. 3 as a part of the period of the highest information target in FIG.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.
The information display device 3 repeatedly executes a state signal reception process, a signal reception process, and a news display process related to the present invention as a sub-process that shifts from the main process in the course of executing the main process (not shown). Hereinafter, these processes will be sequentially described.

(1) Status signal reception processing When starting the status signal reception processing, the information display device 3 determines whether or not the jackpot flag indicating that the jackpot is being hit is set to “0” (A1), and the jackpot flag Is set to “0”, that is, when it is determined that the jackpot is not being hit (A1: YES), it is determined whether or not the jackpot signal is received from the gaming machine 1 (A2). If the information display device 3 determines that the jackpot signal is received from the gaming machine 1 (A2: YES), the jackpot flag is set to “1” (A3), and the current day history shown in FIG. (A4), the continuation of the current day history shown in FIG. 5 is added (A5), and it is determined whether the continuation after the addition is equal to or more than the continuation of the highest information shown in FIG. A6).

  If the information display device 3 determines that the continuation after the addition is not greater than or equal to the continuation of the highest information (A6: NO), the state display reception process is terminated without returning the continuation of the highest information, and the process returns. If it is determined that the continuation after the addition is greater than or equal to the continuation of the highest information (A6: YES), the continuation of the highest information is updated (the continuation after the addition is set as the new highest information) (A7), and the status signal reception process ends. And return.

  On the other hand, the information display device 3 sets the jackpot flag to “0”, that is, determines that the jackpot is not being hit (A1: YES), and determines that the jackpot signal is not received from the gaming machine 1 (A2). : NO), it is determined whether or not the sweet-medium flag indicating that the sweet mode is being set is set to “1” (A8). When the information display device 3 determines that the sweet-medium flag is set to “1”, that is, the probability change or the time is short (A8: YES), the information display device 3 is in a state of receiving the probability change signal from the gaming machine 1. It is determined whether or not there is (A9), and it is determined that it is not in the state of reception of the probability variation signal from the gaming machine 1, that is, that the reception of the probability variation signal from the gaming machine 1 has been completed (A9: NO), It is set to “0” (A10), a new record is created (A11), the status signal reception process is terminated, and the process returns.

  If the information display device 3 determines that the jackpot flag is not set to “0”, that is, that the jackpot is being hit (A1: NO), whether or not the jackpot signal is being received from the gaming machine 1 or not. (A12), if it is determined that the jackpot signal is not received from the gaming machine 1, that is, the jackpot signal from the gaming machine 1 has been received (A12: NO), the jackpot flag is set to “0”. (A13), it is determined whether or not it is in a state of receiving a probability variation signal from the gaming machine 1 (A14). If the information display device 3 determines that it is in a state of receiving the probability variation signal from the gaming machine 1 (A14: YES), the sweet-medium flag is set to “1” (A15), while from the gaming machine 1 If it is determined that the state is not the probability variation signal reception state (A14: NO), a new record is created (A11), the state signal reception process is terminated, and the process returns.

(2) Signal reception processing When the signal display processing is started, the information display device 3 determines whether or not the jackpot flag is set to “0” and the sweet-medium flag is set to “0” (B1 ). Here, the information display device 3 has the jackpot flag set to “0” and the sweet-medium flag is set to “0”, that is, is in a normal state (not in a jackpot and is in the midst of a probable change or a short time) If not (B1: YES), it is determined whether a start signal is received from the gaming machine 1 (B2). If it is determined that a start signal is received from the gaming machine 1 (B2: YES), S Is added (B3), and it is determined whether or not S after the addition corresponds to the output time (B4).

  If the information display device 3 determines that S after the addition does not correspond to the output time (B4: NO), the information display device 3 ends the signal reception process without returning to the news display process, and returns. If it is determined that S corresponds to the output time (B4: YES), the game information targeted for the output time is set as correspondence information (B5), and the process proceeds to the news display process (B6).

  On the other hand, the information display device 3 determines that the jackpot flag is not set to “0” or the sweet-medium flag is not set to “0”, that is, whether the jackpot is in the big hit and the probability change or in the short time. Then (B1: NO), it is determined whether any one of the safe signal and the out signal is received from the gaming machine 1 side (the gaming machine 1 or the outbox) (B7, B8). Here, if the information display device 3 determines that a safe signal has been received from the gaming machine 1 side (the gaming machine 1) (B7: YES), it adds a ball (B9), and the ball after the addition is shown in FIG. It is determined whether or not the number of the highest information items shown in FIG.

  When the information display device 3 determines that the added ball after the addition is not equal to or higher than the highest information ball (B10: NO), the signal reception process is terminated without updating the highest information ball, and the process returns. On the other hand, if it is determined that it is equal to or higher than the highest information output indicated by the added ball (B10: YES), the highest information ball is updated (the added ball is the new highest information) (B11). Then, the signal reception process is terminated and the process returns. If the information display device 3 determines that an out signal has been received from the gaming machine 1 side (outbox) (B8: YES), the information display device 3 subtracts out the ball (B12), ends the signal reception process, and returns.

(3) News display processing When the information display device 3 starts the news display processing, the information display device 3 determines whether or not the value of the correspondence information in the first period is equal to or greater than the threshold value of the condition 1 (C1), and the correspondence in the second period It is determined whether or not the value of information is equal to or greater than the threshold value of condition 2 (C2), and it is determined whether or not the value of correspondence information in the third period is equal to or greater than the threshold value of condition 3 (C3). Here, when the information display device 3 determines that the value of the correspondence information in the first period is equal to or greater than the threshold value of the condition 1 (C1: YES), the information display device 3 sets the correspondence information in the first period as extraction information (C4), If it is determined that the value of the correspondence information in the second period is greater than or equal to the threshold value of condition 2 (C2: YES), the correspondence information in the second period is set as extraction information (C5), and the value of the correspondence information in the third period is If it is determined that the value is equal to or greater than the threshold value of condition 3 (C3: YES), the correspondence information for the third period is set as extraction information (C6).

  Next, the information display device 3 determines whether or not the extracted information and the correspondence information of the highest information match, that is, whether or not the current highest information is updated by the extracted information (C7). If it is determined that the correspondence information matches, that is, the current highest information is updated by the extracted information (C7: YES), news A is selected (C8), while the correspondence information between the extracted information and the highest information is Are not matched, that is, when it is determined that the current highest information is not updated by the extracted information (C7: NO), news B is selected (C9), and the process proceeds to a sentence creation process (C10).

  When the information display device 3 shifts to the sentence creation process, the information display apparatus 3 creates a sentence according to the news content setting shown in FIG. That is, a sentence is selected and created depending on which of the corresponding conditions the extracted information belongs to. As a specific example, when S is “235” in NO8 illustrated in FIG. 5, it is determined that the “continuation” output time has come in accordance with the basic news settings shown in FIG. 3, and the corresponding information is “continuation”. To do. Then, referring to the previous day history shown in FIG. 6, “2” which is “continuation” one day before belonging to the first period is compared with “10” which is “continuation” of condition 1, and in this case, the former Is not more than the latter, so “15”, which is “continuation” two days before belonging to the second period, is compared with “15”, which is “continuation” in condition 2, and in this case, the former is more than the latter, “Continue” two days ago is used as extraction information. It should be noted that “20”, which is “continuation” 6 days ago among the 3-7 days before belonging to the third period is equal to or more than “20” which is “continuation” in condition 3, but 2 days ago is prioritized. Then, since “15”, which is “continuation” of the extracted information, does not match “26”, which is “continuation” of the highest information shown in FIG. 7, news B is selected and the date of “target” is 2 Since it is the day before, “Yesterday” is selected, and 10 minutes of “11:10”, which is the time, is not a carry target, so “11:00” is selected as the hour and “AM” is selected as the time zone. In this way, “I am in the middle of the game, but here I will tell you the news. It seems that a maximum of 15 stations occurred on this stand at 11:00 am the day before yesterday. "Let's expect to update today's record."

  And the information display apparatus 3 will start the display of the news (sentence) created in this way, after complete | finishing a sentence creation process. That is, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the information display device 3 displays the image of the announcer and the title of the news “This stand-alone special news” on the information display unit 15h, and displays the created sentence as a telop from right to left. For example, the telop is displayed twice on the part 15i. Note that the display of news may be started in response to the operation of the news button 16a. In this case, the next game information displayed last time (if the setting shown in FIG. Is the correspondence information. Of course, the next news display is possible even during the news display.

  The information display device 3 adds up the current day history when the date is updated after closing the store, and extracts the maximum game information for each game information to be displayed. Then, the extracted game information is stored together with the time one day before the previous day history, the current seven days ago game information is deleted, and the current one to six days ago game information is slid to 2-7 days before (next day). Then, the previous day's history is updated by a so-called heart-taping method.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the following effects can be obtained. The player can display the extracted information, which is the game information representing the maximum value in the near past, in view of the game balls that can be acquired when playing the game by referring to the game information in the near past. It is possible to produce a sense of appearance including a sense of expectation for games. In addition, there is a record high information as game information that produces a sense of appearance. In other words, the record high information is a limit value in actual performance in the target gaming machine 1, while the extracted information is a limit value in the near past. In other words, by displaying the record-highest information and the extracted information in a comparable manner, the limit value of the gaming machine 1 itself and the past, in other words, the current gaming machine 1 can be expected. The limit value can be compared, and the extent to which the current state of the gaming machine 1 is approaching the limit value can be appealed.

  The record-high information is adjusted gently for the game machine 1 to the player and is repeatedly updated at the beginning of the introduction of the game machine, which is the period when the operation is the highest, but it is almost never updated after that. Know and play the game. Therefore, when a certain period of time has passed after introduction, even if there is an update in the near past, it was played as if the information was updated at the beginning of the introduction, but the extracted information is displayed. If the highest record information has been updated by the extracted information, the fact that the state of the gaming machine 1 approaches the limit of the gaming machine 1 by notifying that fact is expected, and the record can be updated even in this game. become.

  In addition, if the target period in the near past is limited to the previous day (previous business day), etc., there may be cases where game information indicating that many games have been obtained cannot be obtained only on the previous day, such as when there is no operation on the previous day. On the contrary, if the past target period, such as one week, is expanded, the possibility that it can be extracted increases. However, it is not possible to produce a sense of appearance to the player simply by displaying the game information after the period as it is. However, in this embodiment, the period (seven days) indicating the near past to be extracted is divided into a plurality of conditions, conditions are set for each divided period, and game information exceeding the conditions is extracted as extraction information. Conditions that are harder to achieve than conditions for non-elapsed information (game information for which the period of the previous day or the like has not passed) can be set for the elapsed information (game information for which a certain period of time has passed, such as 7 days ago). . Therefore, for the incomplete information, the condition is set low so that the latest game information can be easily extracted, but the game information that matches the condition cannot be extracted with the incomplete information. Of the information, it is possible to extract only the game information that gives the player a sense of appearance.

  Also, if it is possible to grasp that a lot of balls have been obtained in the past closer to the extracted information, most players think that many balls can be obtained as with the extracted information as described above. However, since many extracted balls are obtained from the extracted information, some players think that they cannot get many balls even if they play. When the player selects the gaming machine 1, the news button 16a is pressed. In the former case, if there is extracted information, the gaming machine 1 is selected, but if there is no extracted information, the gaming machine 1 is not selected, while in the latter case, the opposite is true. Of course, there are players who do not refer to the extracted information when selecting the gaming machine 1, but in this case as well, it can be an indicator of whether to end or continue the game by displaying news according to the output time.

  Moreover, since the incomplete information is preferentially extracted, it is possible to give priority to the latest appearance. Furthermore, if the latter player mentioned above and the player who thinks that the payout period is short is not extracted, and the elapsed information is extracted, the period has passed. It can be considered that a lot of balls can be obtained. That is, in this embodiment, an effective index can be provided for any of the above-described players.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
The game information of the day may be included as an extraction target of the extracted information. In addition, it is not necessary to divide the target period, for example, the current period or only the previous day. In the near past, a maximum of about one month is assumed.
The game information to be displayed includes the first hit count (number of records in the current day history -1), the first hit probability (first hit count divided by S in the current day history), and the average continuation count (first hit count divided by continuation in the current day history). Total), all-day ball (safe-out), etc. In this case, it is possible to count other than the all-day sunrise ball according to the history of the day, and a storage area may be separately provided for the all-night sunrise ball. Of course, it is necessary to provide a storage area corresponding to the previous day history and the highest information.

The game information to be displayed may be a plurality including the number of first hits, the probability of first hit, the average number of continuations, and the ball of the last sunrise, or may be a single, and select them. It may be possible.
You may identify and display the display part which displays a popping-out graph and a record high according to news. In addition, when displaying and displaying an outgoing ball graph, the time, out, and S at the time of the first jackpot occurrence and the last jackpot end in the record are associated with each record of the current day history and the current day history and the outgoing graph. It is desirable to memorize and to identify and display the corresponding part (the part corresponding to the extracted information in the output graph).

The output time may be specified based on out, safe, time, game time, etc., without being limited to specifying the output time based on S.
When extraction information is extracted in the first period, the extraction information is not extracted in the second period and the third period. However, the extraction information is also extracted in the second period and the third period, and the extraction information of the first period is extracted. In addition, the extracted information extracted in the second period and the third period may be displayed as news. In this case, priority is displayed by displaying the period close to the current day first. Further, the news display is not performed when the correspondence information is not equal to or more than the conditions 1 to 3. However, the correspondence information indicating the highest value among the correspondence information on the previous day or the correspondence information on the current day may be displayed as the extracted information. .

Although the date (business day) and time corresponding to the extracted information are displayed, it is also possible to display only the date or which of the first to third periods.
The “time” in the current day history of FIG. 5 is the time of occurrence of the last jackpot in the corresponding sweet mode, but what if the time corresponding to the sweet mode such as when the sweet mode occurs or when the sweet mode ends can be specified It may be a different time. Further, the past highest information may be updated every time a predetermined condition is established, for example, every time the jackpot or the sweet mode ends, without being updated in real time in accordance with the update of the ball or the like. Furthermore, only the highest information for each classification period may be stored as history information, or only information that is equal to or higher than the reference value may be stored. That is, in these cases, the history information for each predetermined condition is included in the concept of the history information for each predetermined condition.

The extracted information is not limited to being displayed in the news format, and the extracted information may be displayed simply (as it is).
In the previous day history, only the record with the largest number of balls or the like for each business day is stored, but it is of course possible to store the same day history for the target period.
For example, it is configured to update the ball at any time based on the safe signal or the out signal, but the safe ball and the out are accumulated and stored, and the ball is calculated when a predetermined condition such as the output timing is satisfied. You may calculate by.

As long as it is a gaming machine that can adjust game information such as a play rate on the game hall side, a slot machine or the like that can adjust game information by a setting value corresponding to the corresponding play rate may be used as a target gaming machine. .
Although the configuration in which the special game state is ended through a short time has been illustrated, a normal gaming machine that is normally normal after the jackpot is ended, or a normal gaming machine that is subjected to symbol variation a predetermined number of times during probability change may be targeted. Of course, a falling lottery may be performed for each symbol variation, and the process may be terminated at the time of winning.
As the game information display device, the game information display device may be configured in various modes such as a rental device, a so-called data robot, or a game machine itself as a game information display device. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which performs a part or all of the information processing of a game information display apparatus by a relay apparatus, a management apparatus, etc. That is, the concept of the game information display device in the present invention means a broad game information display device including a device that performs such information processing.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, 3 is an information display device (game information display device, period setting means, target information setting means, history means, extraction means, determination means, period division means, threshold setting means, maximum information storage means) , 15 is a display unit (display means).
