Description

  The present invention relates to a player service providing system that provides a predetermined player service to a player in a game store, and in particular, to a portable member as well as a player service similar to a conventional card member, The present invention relates to a player service providing system that can accurately acquire the game status of a mobile member.

  Traditionally, pachinko parlors and other amusement stores such as pachinko machines and pachislot machines have been recruited to strengthen the ability to attract customers. Each game store issues a membership card to the registered member, and provides a membership service to the member using the issued membership card.

  For example, a member to whom a membership card has been issued (hereinafter referred to as “card member”) receives various membership services by inserting the membership card into each device installed in the gaming machine during the game. be able to.

  Specifically, member services that card members can receive include services such as win / loss management services and point services for each member. Then, in the win / loss management service, the game store side collects member data such as the usage amount during the game and the number of acquired game media for each member. Further, in the point service, points are awarded according to the usage amount of the banknote inserted during the game.

  When providing such a win / loss management service or point service, it is necessary to determine a game situation (for example, whether or not the game is continuing) for each member. Here, when a membership card is used, it can be regarded that the membership card is being inserted while the game is being continued. This is because the card members tend to insert the membership card into each device prior to the game and discharge the membership card when the game ends.

  By the way, with the widespread use of mobile terminals such as mobile phones, attempts have been made to provide member services using mobile terminals owned by members instead of member cards. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a member service providing system that provides a member service similar to a card member by using a mobile terminal owned by a member instead of a member card.

  However, in the member service providing system using a portable terminal such as Patent Document 1, the accuracy of determining the game situation is high with respect to a member using the portable terminal instead of a membership card (hereinafter referred to as “mobile member”). There was a problem of being low.

  This is because mobile members tend to touch each mobile device with a mobile terminal prior to using the member service, but when there is no need to use the member service, touch the mobile device with each mobile device. This is because it will leave the game table.

  For example, when a mobile member plays a game using a stored ball, the mobile terminal touches each device prior to using the stored ball service. However, when a game using a stored ball is performed and a game medium cannot be acquired as a result, the portable terminal leaves the seat without touching each device.

  In such a case, the game start time can be acquired for the mobile member, but the game end time cannot be acquired. Therefore, it is not possible to accurately acquire the mobile member's game duration.

  For these reasons, it is important to provide a player service providing system that can provide the same membership service as a card member to mobile members and also obtain the player's gaming situation with high accuracy. It has become a challenge.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems caused by the prior art, and provides a member service similar to that of a card member to a mobile member, and accurately obtains the game situation of the player.

Regardless, it is characterized by further comprising a player service providing means for providing the player service.

  Further, in the present invention, when the mobile identifier is acquired by the mobile identifier acquisition means, the player service is scheduled to be provided at the next acquisition of the mobile identifier. The information processing device further includes notification means for notifying the player of the advance notice information.

  According to the present invention, a portable identifier for identifying the portable terminal is obtained from a portable terminal carried by a player, and a device identifier for identifying a device having a function for identifying the obtained portable identifier and the portable terminal is obtained. Since it is determined that the player's gaming situation is determined based on the stored acquisition information, the player's gaming situation is accurately acquired because it is stored as acquisition information that is information associated with the time when the portable identifier was acquired. There is an effect that can be done.

  According to the present invention, the portable device provided for each gaming table acquires a portable identifier for identifying the portable terminal from the portable terminal carried by the player, and the acquired information with the same device identifier is acquired in ascending or descending order of time. When rearranged, the period in which the same portable identifiers continue is determined as the game continuation period by the same player, so that it is possible to accurately determine the game continuation period.

  According to the present invention, when the same portable identifier exists in the acquired information with different device identifiers in the determined game duration, the game duration is invalidated. There is an effect that a double game in which a game is played by returning to the game table where the game has been played again after moving to the game table can be excluded from the points to be granted.

  According to the present invention, the game table balance information in which the usage amount and / or win / loss data for each game table is associated with the time is stored, and the game table balance information corresponding to the determined game duration and device identifier is stored in the game table balance information.

  Exemplary embodiments of a player service providing system according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following, the outline of the player service providing system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1, and then an embodiment of the player service providing system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. I will. Hereinafter, a case where the mobile terminal used by the mobile member is a mobile phone will be described.

  First, an outline of a player service providing system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of a player service providing system according to the present invention. As shown in the figure, in the player service providing system according to the present invention, the frequency of touching the mobile phone is improved by providing information that prompts the touch of the mobile phone. It is determined that the period in which the portable identifiers acquired at the time of the touch are the same is the game continuation period of the same player.

  Here, as information that prompts the touch of the mobile phone, for example, information that a store visit point is given, information that a use amount point is given based on a total amount of money (use amount) that is thrown at the game, and the like is there. It is also possible to provide a game guide related to a pachinko machine that is being played, and balance information related to the game.

  In this way, by providing information that is beneficial to the mobile member, it is possible to improve the frequency of touching the mobile phone. In addition, it is good also as improving the touch frequency of a mobile telephone by providing the information which becomes disadvantageous for a mobile member. For example, it may be possible to provide warning information such that a player service is restricted by a game on another game table if a touch is not made when leaving the game table.

  Below, the outline | summary of the player service provision system which concerns on this invention is demonstrated in detail. As shown in FIG. 1, each pachinko store is connected to each device and a member management device that manages member information, and each device is provided with a pachinko machine. .

  And the member information is memorize | stored in the database with which a member management apparatus is provided. Here, the member information is, for example, information including a “mobile identifier” item, a “visit point” item, and a “use amount point” item.

  The “mobile identifier” item is a mobile identifier of a mobile phone owned by a mobile member. When the mobile member touches the mobile phone on each device installed in the game machine, the mobile identifier that identifies the mobile phone called IDm is read. Here, although the case where the mobile identifier is handled as the member identifier as it is is shown, the mobile identifier and the member identifier may be provided separately and associated with each other.

  The “point of visit” item stores a service point that is given when a mobile member visits the store. Here, the store visit point is given when the mobile phone is touched by any mobile device to any one of the devices when visiting the store. Further, in the “use amount point” item, a service point given according to the use amount of money inserted during the game by the mobile member is stored.

  For example, a mobile member receives privilege information that a store visit point is granted by touching a game table with a mobile phone at the start of a game by e-mail from a game store before visiting the store. When the mobile member actually goes to the game store and starts playing, the mobile phone with “mobile identifier: 101” touches each device with “mobile number: 1010” ((1) in FIG. 1). reference).

  Each device (device number: 1010) reads the mobile identifier, and transmits the touched time and the read mobile identifier (101) to the member management device as mobile touch information. Then, the member management device gives a store visit point to the mobile member who owns the received mobile phone with “mobile identifier: 101” (see (2) in the figure). Specifically, a predetermined point is added to the “visit point” item of “mobile identifier: 101” of the member information.

  It is assumed that the member management device also provides a service for notifying the mobile phone of privilege information and the like of the game shop via a predetermined web server. Specifically, the member management apparatus notifies a mobile phone owned by a mobile member by e-mail or the like of a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) of a web page in which various information is described.

  And a mobile member can browse a web page on which various information such as information for prompting touch at the end of the game and special information is displayed by connecting to the notified URL with his mobile phone. it can.

  The member management device to which the store visit point is given provides service information including information indicating that the mobile phone is touched at the end of the game to each device (see (3) in FIG. 1). In this way, the mobile member touches the mobile phone with “mobile identifier: 101” again to each device (device number: 1010) at the end of the game (see (4) in FIG. 1).

  Then, if the mobile member touches each mobile device (device number: 1010) at the end of the game, each device (device number: 1010) reads the mobile identifier, and the touched time and mobile identifier (101). ) As mobile touch information.

  On the other hand, the member management device compares the mobile identifier of the received mobile touch information with the mobile identifier of the mobile touch information received from the last device (device number: 1010). It is determined that the game is continued (see (5) in FIG. 1). Then, the member management apparatus determines that the game continuation period is from the touch time of the mobile touch information received last time to the touch time of the mobile touch information received this time.

  When the same member touches a plurality of times during the game, such determination is repeated. In this case, the member management device determines the game continuation period from the earliest touch time to the latest touch time among mobile touch information of the same member that is consecutive in time series for the same device.

  Specifically, when a mobile phone with a different mobile identifier, such as a mobile phone with “mobile identifier: 102”, is touched with respect to each device (device number: 1010), the member management device is changed by a different member. It is determined that the game has started. Then, the mobile touch information of “mobile identifier: 101” received last is determined as the game continuation end point of the member who owns the mobile phone of “mobile identifier: 101”.

  In this way, when the game continuation end point is determined, the member management device gives points according to the usage amount of the game continuation period to the mobile member (mobile identifier: 101) ((6) in the figure). reference). Details of the point calculation method will be described later.

  In addition, when a certain point is accumulated, a service that can be exchanged for a premium effect image or the like for each premium or pachinko machine may be performed. By doing so, it becomes possible to promote the touch operation of the mobile phone by the mobile member.

  As described above, in the player service providing system according to the present invention, when the mobile identifier of the mobile touch information received from each device is equal to the mobile identifier received from the same each device last time, It is determined that the game is continued. Then, by repeating this determination, it is possible to determine the game duration by the same member.

  That is, according to the player service providing system according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain an accurate game duration for each mobile member. Accordingly, it is possible to provide services such as giving points based on the number of pachinko balls acquired by the mobile member during the game and the usage amount during the game, and managing the win / loss of the mobile member.

And then hand it over to the player manually by the employee.

  Next, the concept of the game continuation period by the same member according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the concept of game continuation according to the present embodiment. The horizontal axis shown in the figure represents the time axis. Below, the case where the game by the same member is continued from the time t0 to the time t5 is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the member A starts the game from the time t0, and touches the mobile phone having the mobile identifier 101 owned by the member A four times at times t1, t2, t3, and t4. Indicates that the game has ended at time t5.

  In this case, the game continuation determination unit 23b determines that the period from time t1 to time t4 is a game continuation period by the member A. Thereby, the member information update part 23c will give the point according to the usage amount of money for the game continuation period.

  Therefore, as the game continuation period determined by the game continuation determination unit 23b is closer to the period (time t0 to time t5) that the member A actually played, more points are awarded. That is, it is understood that it is most beneficial for the member A that the time obtained by adding the difference between t0 and t1 and the difference between t4 and t5 is the shortest time.

  For this reason, the member management apparatus 20 distributes information that prompts the mobile member to touch the mobile phone. For example, the member management device 20 provides information such as that the point of visit can be acquired by touching at the start of the game and that the point corresponding to the amount of money can be acquired by touching at the end of the game. Deliver to mobile phones.

  The member management device 20 also distributes information such as that it is possible to acquire game table capture information by touching a mobile phone during a game. As a result, it is possible to expect an improvement in the touch frequency of the mobile phone. Therefore, even if the mobile member does not touch the mobile phone at the end of the game, t4 shown in FIG. 4 can be brought closer to t5. Therefore, it is possible to accurately determine the game continuation period of the mobile member.

  Next, the calculation method of the usage amount of money inserted by the mobile member during the determined game continuation period and the point granting method according to the usage amount will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the mobile touch information 22a. As shown in the figure, the mobile touch information 22a includes a “mobile identifier” item, a “device number” item, a “start point” item, an “end point” item, and a “touch date and time” item.

  In the “start point” item, it is the game continuation start point for the mobile touch information 22a that is the earliest touch date among the mobile touch information 22a with the same mobile identifier and the same unit number that are rearranged in time series. (Here, 1) is stored.

  In the “end point” item, it is the game continuation end point for the mobile touch information 22a that is the latest touch date and time among the mobile touch information 22a having the same mobile identifier and the same serial number that are rearranged in time series. (Here, 1) is stored.

  In the “touch date and time” item, the date and time when the mobile phone that is the “mobile identifier” is touched by each of the device 10 corresponding to the “device number” is stored. As described above, the portable touch information 22a stores the base number, the start point, the end point, and the touch date and time in association with the portable identifier.

  For example, a case will be described in which the mobile phone with the mobile identifier 201 is touched on each of the base device 10 with the mobile phone number 10110 and then the mobile phone with the mobile identifier 101 is touched on the same base device 10. In this case, when the mobile phone with the mobile identifier 101 is touched, the mobile identifier is different from 201, so it is determined that the game is started by a different member.

  Then, the mobile touch information 22a with the mobile identifier 201 is set as the game continuation end point (see the first line in FIG. 5), and the mobile touch information 22a with the mobile identifier 101 is set as the game continuation start point (FIG. 5). (See the second line).

  Further, a case will be described in which a mobile phone with a mobile identifier of 101 is touched to the same base device 10 after a mobile phone with a mobile identifier of 101 is touched twice on each of the base devices 10 with a mobile number of 101. In this case, when the mobile phone having the mobile identifier 301 is touched, since the mobile identifier is different from 101, it is determined that the game is started by a different member.

  Then, the third mobile touch information 22a with the mobile identifier 101 is set as the game continuation end point (see the fourth line in FIG. 5), and the mobile touch information 22a with the mobile identifier 301 is set as the game continuation start point. (See line 5 in FIG. 5).

  The determination of the game continuation end point may be performed as follows. When the mobile phone with the mobile identifier 101 is touched “11:10”, the game continuation start point is at the touch date “11:00”, so the mobile touch information 22a of the touch date “11:10” is set to “ End point: 1 ”.

  When the third touch is made at “11:50”, the game continuation end point is updated from “11:10” to the mobile touch information 22a of “11:50”. However, it is assumed that a mobile phone having a different identifier is not touched on each of the device units 1010 having the number 1010 between the second and third touches.

  As described above, the game continues from the touch date and time of “start point: 1” to the touch date and time of “end point: 1” of the mobile touch information 22a having the same mobile phone identifier and the same machine number arranged in time series. Judge as period. For example, from the second line in FIG. 5 to the fourth line in FIG. 5, that is, from “11:00” to “11:50” is determined as the game continuation period of the member who is the mobile identifier 101.

  Even if the portable touch information registration unit 23a receives the portable touch information 22a having the same portable identifier and the same unit number (see the seventh and ninth lines in FIG. 5), the game of the same member is continued. It may not be judged.

  Specifically, during the touch date and time of the two mobile touch information 22a, when there is mobile touch information 22a with the same mobile identifier and a different serial number (see the eighth line in FIG. 5), the member that is the mobile identifier 401 Is considered to have moved to the game machine with the game number 1015 and played a game. Therefore, in this case, it is not determined from the seventh line in FIG. 5 to the ninth line in FIG.

  In this way, if it is determined that “11:00” to “11:50” are the game continuation period of the mobile member of the mobile identifier 101, then the usage amount is calculated based on the game continuation period. Hereinafter, the calculation method of the usage amount will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the game table information (utilization amount) 51. As shown in the figure, the gaming machine information (use amount) 51 includes a “unit number” item, a “transaction type” item, an “update amount” item, a “remaining amount” item, and a “transaction date” item. Is included.

  The “transaction type” item is a type indicating whether the payment is made or a pachinko ball is paid out. Here, “payment” or “payout” is stored. In the “update amount” item, an amount deposited / withdrawn in one transaction is stored. In the “remaining amount” item, the remaining amount after the transaction is stored. In the “transaction date and time” item, the date and time when the “deposit” or “withdrawal” transaction was performed is stored.

  As described above, in the gaming machine information (utilization amount) 51, by storing various types of information in association with the machine number, the money used in the transaction of deposit or withdrawal is managed for each machine 10. .

  Here, a calculation method of the usage amount related to the member, which is the portable identifier 101 that played the game on the game machine attached to each of the machine devices 10 having the machine number 1010, will be described.

  The game continuation period of the member was determined to be from “11:00” to “11:50” as already described with reference to FIG. Therefore, game machine information (use amount) 51 corresponding to the determined game continuation period is extracted. In this case, the sixth to sixth lines in FIG. 6 are extracted.

  Therefore, all the “update amount” whose “transaction type” of the extracted transaction is “payout” is added. Here, the updated amounts in the fourth and sixth lines in FIG. This additional amount of 2000 yen is the usage amount used by the member who is the portable identifier 101 during the game continuation period.

  Next, a point granting system that is given according to the amount of money used during the game played by the mobile member will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the member information 22b. As shown in FIG. 6A, the member information 22b includes a “mobile identifier” item, a “visit point” item, and a “use amount point” item.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the usage amount points are calculated at a predetermined ratio with respect to the calculated usage amount (2000 yen). For example, if 10% of the usage amount is used as the usage amount point, 200 points (2000 yen × 10%) are the usage amount points given to the member who is the portable identifier 101.

  Then, by adding the calculated usage amount point to the “use amount point” item which is the portable identifier 101 of the member information 22b, a usage amount point corresponding to the usage amount during the game continuation period is given. Become. Note that, here, a method of giving usage amount points according to the usage amount during the game continuation period has been described, but points according to the time of the game continuation period may be given.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 7B, the “game points” item may be included in the member information 22b. Then, the time during the period determined as the game continuation period is calculated, and the game points calculated at a predetermined ratio with respect to the calculated time may be given.

  For example, the time during the period determined as the game continuation period of the member who is the mobile identifier 101 is 50 minutes (11: 50-11: 0). Here, if a game point is 1 point per minute of the game continuation period, 50 points will be awarded as game points.

  In this way, if a member service is provided that gives points according to the duration of the game duration, the mobile member can acquire more points by touching the mobile phone at the end of the game. . Therefore, it is possible to improve the determination accuracy of the game continuation period.

  In FIG. 7, the calculation of the usage amount has been described based on the gaming machine information (use amount) 51. Hereinafter, a method of creating win / loss data based on the game table information (win / loss data) 52 will be briefly described.

  The management device 50 stores game table information (win / loss data) 52 in a database provided in the management device 50. The game table information (win / loss data) 52 includes a “unit number” item, an “out ball number” item, a “safe ball number” item, and a “counting date” item.

  The “number of out balls” item stores the number of pachinko balls shot by the player in the pachinko machine 40, and the “safe ball number” item stores the pachinko balls paid out in the pachinko machine 40 when winning a prize or the like. The number of balls is memorized.

  Here, regarding the number of out balls and the number of safe balls, the number of out balls and the number of safe balls counted within a certain time interval are respectively counted. The date and time when the number of out balls and the number of safe balls are totaled is stored in the “total date and time” item.

  If the game continuation period of a certain member is determined by the above-described method, game table information (win / loss data) 52 corresponding to the determined game continuation period is extracted. Then, based on the extraction result, the management of winning / losing for each member is performed. In this way, by performing the win / loss management for each member using the game duration determined with high accuracy, a highly accurate win / loss management service can be provided.

  Next, a display example of a web page provided by the player service providing system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a display example of member service information. First, as shown in FIG. 5A, the information transmission unit 23d notifies the member A registered as a mobile member that there is a store-pointing service by email. Thereby, a portable touch can be urged to a portable member at the start of a game. In addition, it is good also as notifying of the address of the web page in which it is described that there is a store visit point grant service.

  Further, if the mobile touch is performed by the mobile member, the member management device 20 provides service information including information indicating that the game stand is prompted to carry the mobile touch through the web server device 30 even when the game ends.

  A mobile member uses his / her mobile phone to connect to the URL notified from the member management device 20 to display a web page on which various information such as information that prompts the user to touch at the end of the game and privilege information is displayed. Can be viewed.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 8B, the member management apparatus 20 notifies that it is connected to a menu in which various service information is displayed. On the mobile phone, when the “OK” button is pressed by the mobile member, a menu screen showing a list of various information is displayed.

  Here, when “coupon present” is selected from the menu screen, as shown in FIG. 8C, for example, a coffee coupon that can be used in an amusement store is displayed. When “privilege information” is selected from the menu screen, as shown in FIG. 8D, service information including information for prompting a portable touch at the end of the game is displayed.

  As described above, by providing various services via the mobile phone, it is possible to promote easy and frequent mobile touch on the mobile member.

  Next, member service processing executed by the player service providing system according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an outline of a member service operation processing procedure executed by each device 10. As shown in the figure, in each device 10, when a mobile phone is touched by the mobile member on the mobile reading unit 12 (step S101), the mobile identifier is read.

  And the portable touch information transmission part 14a transmits the time when the portable touch was performed with the read portable identifier and each stand apparatus identifier to the member management apparatus 20 as portable touch information (step S102).

  After that, to confirm the identity, the display operation unit 13 is notified that the mobile phone member is prompted to input the registered password when the member is registered, and the member service reception unit 14b determines whether the password has been input. Determination is made (step S103).

  When it is determined that the password has been input (Yes in step S103), the member service reception unit 14b receives a member service operation from the display operation unit 13 and receives a password for a certain period of time. It is determined whether it is within (step S104).

  Here, when the member service reception unit 14b determines that the password is within a certain period of time after the password is input (step S104, Yes), the member service reception unit 14b receives the member service operation from the display operation unit 13 (step S105). Start various member services according to the instructions.

  Then, the member service reception unit 14b determines whether or not the member service end operation has been received from the display operation unit 13 (step S106). Here, when it is determined that the member service end operation has been received (step S106, Yes), the member service reception unit 14b ends the member service operation process executed by each of the series of device units 10.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the member service end operation has not been received (No at Step S106), the member service receiving unit 14b repeats the processes after Step S104. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S103 that the password has not been input (No in step S103), the member service receiving unit 14b ends the series of processes.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined time has passed since the password is input in step S104 (No in step S104), the member service reception unit 14b ends the series of processes.

  Next, a processing procedure executed by the member management apparatus 20 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an outline of the game continuation determination processing procedure executed by the member management apparatus 20.

  As illustrated in FIG. 10, the mobile touch information registration unit 23 a of the member management device 20 performs a mobile identifier, each base device identifier, and a mobile touch as mobile touch information from the mobile touch information transmission unit 14 a of each base device 10. The acquired time is acquired (step S201). And the portable touch information registration part 23a registers the received portable touch information as portable touch information 22a (step S202).

  Thereafter, the game continuation determination unit 23b searches the portable touch information 22a and acquires the previous portable touch information that is the same portable identifier or the same device identifier (step S203). Then, the game continuation determination unit 23b compares the mobile touch information received by the mobile touch information registration unit 23a with the previous mobile touch information, and determines whether or not the mobile identifiers match (step S204).

  Here, when it is determined that the mobile identifiers match (Yes in Step S204), the game continuation determination unit 23b determines whether the device identifiers match (Step S205). The game continuation determination unit 23b determines that the game by the same member is continuing (step S206) when it is determined that the device identifiers match each other (step S205, Yes).

  Thereafter, the information transmitting unit 23d transmits various member service information to the web server device 30 (step S210). In addition, the game continuation determination unit 23b determines that the mobile identifiers do not match in step S204 (step S204, No), and if it is determined in step S205 that the device identifiers do not match (step S205, No), the process proceeds to step S207.

  Then, the game continuation determination unit 23b determines the previous mobile touch information as the end point of the game continuation period (step S207), and updates the member information 22b to which points according to the usage amount of the game continuation period are given (step S208). ).

  In addition, the game continuation determination unit 23b determines the mobile touch information as the start point of the game continuation period (step S209), and transmits various member service information to the web server device 30 (step S210).

  As described above, the player service providing system according to the present embodiment improves the frequency of touching the mobile phone by notifying the mobile member of the profits obtained by touching the mobile phone at any time, and continues the game of the mobile member. The period is determined with high accuracy. Thereby, it is possible to provide the same membership service as that for the card member to the mobile member and to accurately grasp the game situation of the mobile member.

  In the embodiment described above, an example in which a mobile phone used by a mobile member is used has been described. However, the present invention can be similarly applied to a non-member player who owns a mobile phone.

  In addition, each stand apparatus according to the present invention corresponds to each stand apparatus 10, the portable identifier acquisition means corresponds to the portable reading section 12, the acquired information storage means corresponds to the portable touch information 22a, and the game situation determination means corresponds to the game continuation determination section 23b. Is.

  By the way, although the Example of this invention was described so far, this invention may be implemented with a various different form other than the Example mentioned above. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the portable reading unit is provided in each stand device has been described. However, the portable reading unit is provided in each device such as an island edge counter, a settlement machine, and a prize management device installed on the island edge. It is good also as providing in.

  And the portable touch information read by the portable reading part of each apparatus is good also as totaling for every portable member. By doing so, it is possible to collect a wide range of gaming situations (being played and behavior patterns other than playing) in the game store of the mobile member who visited the store. Then, based on the collected gaming situation, it becomes possible to analyze the relationship between the staying time and the balance situation of each portable member.

  In the above-described embodiment, the mobile member accesses the game shop website from the mobile phone. However, it is also possible to access the amusement shop website using a portable personal computer owned by the mobile member.

  In this case, it is possible to provide a service that allows a mobile member to safely browse service information for members via a web server by inputting a member number, a preset password, or the like. .

  In the above-described embodiment, the mobile member is notified of information for promoting the mobile touch via the web server device 30. However, the display operation unit 13 or the like provided in each table device 10 may be notified by turning on a lamp for prompting a portable touch.

  In the above-described embodiment, the member management device 20 and the management device 50 are configured as separate units. However, it does not need to be a separate body and may be integrated.

  In the above-described embodiments, the case where the member identification medium is a mobile phone has been described. However, a contactless card may be used. In the case of a conventional membership card, each device 10 cannot accept various membership service requests while there is a balance of money deposited before the membership card is inserted.

  This is because each table device 10 includes only one card reading unit. For this reason, when money is inserted before the insertion of the membership card, the card reading unit prohibits the insertion of another card in order to value the remaining amount in the card in each table device 10 while there is a remaining payment amount. .

  However, it is also possible to provide each card reader 10 with a card reader and accept a membership service request by holding or touching a non-contact card. In this case, convenience can be enhanced not only for mobile members but also for conventional card members.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the mobile phone owned by the mobile member is touched has been described. However, the game information of the non-member may be managed by touching the mobile phone of the non-member.

  In this case, by registering the mobile touch information 22a in association with the IDm of the non-member mobile phone, it is possible to provide a win / loss management service such as a game history status to the non-member player.

  Moreover, although the example applied to a pachinko game has been described in the above-described embodiment, the present invention can be similarly applied to a case where a pachislot game is further included or a case where only a pachislot game is targeted. Although an example in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko parlor has been described here, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be similarly applied to a game facility such as a game center.

  As described above, the player service providing system according to the present invention is useful when providing a member service using a mobile terminal owned by a member instead of a member card, and particularly for a mobile member. It is suitable when you want to provide membership services similar to card members.
