  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the reservation destination payout process is performed at the time of the table movement reservation, so that the game medium is supplied to the tray of the gaming machine having no player to play. In order to avoid troubles with other players when a player plays, there is a tendency to play after confirming the tray of the gaming machine. Therefore, the game machine is reserved using this tendency effectively. You can be notified that you are. In this case, since the game medium paid back by the reservation destination payout process is paid for by the reservation person's acquisition medium, collateral for the table transfer reservation can be secured by the payment, and the possibility that the reservation person leaves as it is can be reduced. Furthermore, for the reservation person, the game can be started as it is at the reservation-destination game machine, so that the game can be made immediately without waiting for the first payout process after moving the table, which saves the trouble, and the operation rate for the game hall. Can be expected to improve.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the reservation destination payout process is performed, there is a part of the player's acquisition medium in the reservation destination gaming machine, so the player turns over to the gaming machine other than the reservation destination gaming machine. When it is desired to play a game, it is necessary to collect the game medium paid back to the reservation destination gaming machine. In this case, since the number of reservation cancellation media corresponding to the number of reservation destination media is returned (transferred) to the reservation person according to the invention of claim 2, it is not necessary for the reservation person to perform such troublesome collection work.

  According to the invention of claim 3, the reservation source payout process leaves game media corresponding to the number of reservation source remaining media in the reservation source gaming machine, so that the reservation source gaming machine is also in a reservation state, and the player turns around and makes a reservation. If you want to play with the original game machine, you can return to the reservation source game machine to play. Further, since game media are paid out by both the reservation destination and the reservation source gaming machines, it is possible to obtain more collateral for the game reservation from the player. Further, similarly to the invention of claim 2, when the game is started at the reservation destination gaming machine as reserved by the player, it is not necessary to perform unnecessary collection work.

  According to the invention of claim 4, by the prohibition process, the next player counts in order to cancel the prohibition state of the gaming machine that the reservation person did not play among the reservation source gaming machine and the reservation destination gaming machine. Thus, the withdrawal medium of the reservation person can be collected effectively.

  According to the invention of claim 5, there is no need for the collection work by the reservation person by the migration process, but when the table movement reservation is completed, it is not necessary to prohibit the game of the collection source gaming machine until the migration process is completed. Open to the next player. In this case, if the next player is playing a game, there is a possibility that the acquired medium corresponding to the game result is included in the game medium to be collected. In addition, even if the next player does not play, if the acquired medium remains before the reservation, there is a possibility that the acquired medium repaid in accordance with the reservation process may be counted. When only the number of acquired media to be transferred is set as the transfer target, the acquired media may remain without the player. According to the invention of claim 5, both cases can be appropriately handled.

  According to the invention of claim 6, the reservation person performs a payout process without reaching his / her eyes, so he / she is worried about whether or not the acquired medium can be taken away by a malicious player. According to the sixth aspect of the invention, even in such a case, the damage of the reservation person can be compensated, so that the player can make the table movement reservation with peace of mind.

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 of a game hall system. A lending device 2 and each counter counter (terminal unit) 3 are installed corresponding to the gaming machine 1 in the game hall, and a management device 4 is installed in the management room. The relay device 5 is connected to the two gaming machines 1, the two lending devices 2, the two counters 3 and the management device 4. The management device 4 manages the gaming machine 1 by receiving a gaming signal transmitted from the gaming machine side (the gaming machine 1, the lending device 2, each vehicle counter 3 and the like) via the relay device 5. Although omitted in FIG. 1, several hundred gaming machines 1 are actually managed by the management device 4.

  The gaming machine 1 to be managed performs a lottery lottery in response to a game ball fired on the board 7 by operating the operation handle 6 constituting the launching device winning a start opening 8 or 9 (start winning prize). A result is alert | reported by the symbol fluctuation | variation performed in the display part 12, and it will be in a jackpot state according to the fluctuation | variation result. When a big hit occurs, the grand prize opening 13 is opened for 15 rounds (R). The balls paid out by winning are received by the upper tray 10, and the balls overflowing when the upper tray 10 is full are received by the lower tray 11. In addition, the upper limit winning number of 1R is 10, the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds, and 1R is ended when either the upper limit winning number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied.

The following signals are output from the gaming machine side.
Out signal = a signal that can specify the number of used media (out) output from an out BOX for collecting used balls. Since one pulse is output for 10 recovered (used and driven) balls, “the number of out signals × 10” is specified as out. A signal output from the gaming machine 1 may be used.
Safe signal = a signal that can specify the number of payout media (safe) output from the gaming machine 1. Since 1 pulse is output for 10 payouts corresponding to the game (winning), “safe signal number × 10” is specified as safe. The supply signal output from the supply device may be a safe signal.
Start signal = a signal that can specify the number of symbol fluctuations (number of actuated items, start) output from the gaming machine 1. One pulse is output per symbol change (actual action, start processing) in the display section 12 that changes (actuates) by winning at the start port 8 or the start port 9, so start "number of start signals x 1" As specified. A start winning signal that is output in response to a winning at the start port 8 or the start port 9 may be used as the start signal.
Jackpot signal = a signal that can identify the jackpot output from the gaming machine 1. Since it is a status signal that is output at a level during the jackpot, it is determined that the jackpot signal is being received as a jackpot.
Special state signal = a signal that can specify a special state output from the gaming machine 1. Since it is a state signal (probability change signal) that is output in a special state, which is a state where it is easier to generate a big hit such as during a probability change where the jackpot probability is improved than in the normal state, the special state signal being received is identified as being in the special state. It is also possible to use a status signal (time-short signal) that is level-output during the time when the winning rate to the start port 9 is improved.
Sales signal = signal that can specify sales information (number of sales balls (corresponding to the number of rental media) and sales amount) output from the lending device 2. One pulse is output for every 25 balls that are valued at the player's valuable value, so “Number of sales signals × 25” is specified as the number of sales balls, and the number of sales balls × the rental unit price is specified as the sales amount.

The lending device 2 is configured as a so-called CR sand equipped with a control unit (corresponding to an operation means) composed of a CPU, a storage unit composed of CF (Compact Flash (registered trademark)), RAM, ROM, and a transmission / reception unit composed of an I / F.

Each counter 3 updates its corresponding setting information when it receives a setting signal indicating that the setting information has been updated from the management device 4.
FIG. 3 shows the setting information of each counter, and the following items are set. The reservation destination shown below refers to a gaming machine that is a destination for moving a table, or each counter 3 corresponding to the gaming machine, and the reservation source or reservation destination gaming machine is a table movement In this case, the destination of movement, that is, the gaming machine that performed the reservation operation, or each counter 3 corresponding to the gaming machine is shown.

Reservation holding ball = setting value for holding ball, holding ball necessary to make a table movement reservation.
End ball set value = Set value for Mochitama and Theoretical Mochitama (corresponding to the number of theoretically acquired media), and it is possible to make table movement reservations when both the Mochitama and the theoretical Mochitama of the reserved game machine are below this set value And In addition, when a possessed ball ticket has not been received and the retained ball is equal to or greater than the set value, one of the retained coin tickets that are stocked is set to the reception state.
Receiving value = A setting value that is referred to when comparing theoretical holding balls and holding balls. If the difference between theoretical holding balls and holding balls is less than this setting value when making a table movement reservation, the game that remains in the reservation source gaming machine Assuming that there are not enough balls, the game balls for the reservation source are paid out.
Reservation destination ball (equivalent to the number of reservation destination media and the number of reservation cancellation media) = the number of game balls to be paid out (withdrawn) at the reservation destination gaming machine at the time of moving reservation.
Reservation destination cancellation ball (corresponding to the number of prohibition release media) = a set value for the count value in each reservation counter 3 and when the reservation is canceled, each reservation counter 3 sets the value for this setting value. When the number of balls is counted, the table movement reservation at each reservation counter 3 is canceled.
Reserving original ball (corresponding to “number of game media paid out by reservation original payout process”) = game balls to be paid out by the reserving original gaming machine when there are not enough game balls left in the reservation original gaming machine at the time of moving reservation number.
Reservation completion ball (corresponding to the number of prohibited release media) = the setting value for the count value of the reservation source game machine, and when the reservation source game machine counts balls for this set value when the table movement reservation is completed, the reservation source game Release the machine stand secure state.
Release timer = Timer that operates in response to the end of the reservation end display. When the time is up, the remaining balls of the reservation source counters 3 (corresponding to “the number of reservation source remaining media”) are transferred to the reservation destination counters 3 and the reservation tickets are initialized. .

Each counter 3 is provided with a terminal storage area for managing counting balls, holding balls, and the like. FIG. 4 shows a terminal storage area of each counter 3 and the following items are set.
Mochitama voucher ID = Mochitama voucher ID currently accepted or issued.
Counting balls = total number of balls counted.
Payout balls = the total number of balls that have been paid out as consideration, that is, the number of balls that have been paid back.
Receiving holding balls = the total holding balls of newly received holding balls, that is, holding balls before moving the table.
The number of balls that can be issued, that is, the number of balls that the player has (reception ball + counting ball-payout ball).
Theoretical moment of acceptance = The total theoretical momentum of the newly accepted momentary tickets, that is, the theoretical moment before moving the platform.
Theoretical Mochitama = Theoretical Mochitama (Receiving Theory Mochitama + Sales Margin-Difference). In addition, difference ball = out-safe.
Reservation voucher = ID of a coin-to-ball ticket issued when a car movement reservation is made, and at the time of car movement reservation, only the coin-operated ticket is accepted in both the reservation-source game machine and each car counter 3 of the reservation destination.
Remaining balls (corresponding to the number of remaining acquired media) = the number of balls that are theoretically left in the tray or the like of the reservation-source gaming machine at the time of reservation for moving the table, and “theoretical holding ball-mochitama” at the time of reservation for moving the table.

  Each counter 3 updates the counting ball by the counting process, the withdrawal ball by the withdrawal process, the reception possession ball by the reception process, and the reception theoretical possession ball, thereby calculating them and specifying the possession balls. Further, the theoretical possession ball is updated by a game signal from the gaming machine 1.

  Next, with regard to the operation of the above configuration, the image of the lending device 2 in FIGS. 5 to 7, the update transition of the terminal storage area of each counter 3 serving as the reservation source gaming machine at the time of reservation of the movement of the table in FIG. This will be described with reference to the update transition of the terminal storage area of each counter 3 serving as the reservation destination, the state change of each reservation counter 3 serving as the reservation source and the reservation destination in FIG. 12, and the flowcharts in FIGS.

Each counter 3 executes a table movement reservation process in addition to the normal process.
FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing a table movement reservation process by each table counter 3. Each counter 3 executes a reservation operation process (A1), a reservation destination side reception process (A2), and a reservation source game machine side reception process (A5). YES), the coin-carrying ticket acceptance process is also executed (A5).

  In the reservation operation process shown in FIG. 14, each counter 3 determines whether the reservation is already displayed. If the reservation is not displayed (B1: NO), the holding ball is reserved in the setting information of FIG. It is determined whether or not the holding ball is exceeded (B2). In the data (1) of FIG. 8, since the possession ball (= 2000 balls) exceeds the reserve possession ball (= 300 balls) (B2: YES), the reservation operation for designating the reservation destination gaming machine by the selection operation is performed. It can be accepted (B3). In this case, it can be accepted by a touch operation on the information display unit 18 of the lending device 2.

  When each counter 3 accepts the reservation operation (B3: YES), it determines whether the reservation destination gaming machine can be reserved (see B4, FIG. 12). In other words, it is determined whether the reservation destination gaming machine is inactive and the possessed balls and the theoretical retained balls are less than the end ball setting value of the setting information in FIG. In the data (5) of FIG. 9, since the holding ball (= 20 balls) is less than the end ball setting value (= 30 balls), it is determined that the reservation destination gaming machine can be reserved (B4: YES). When reservation is possible as described above, the display of the reservation source is started (B5), and then the shutter of each counter 3 is closed (counter secured state) (B6). In the reservation source display, as shown in FIG. 6, a message indicating that the game is prohibited because the reservation is being confirmed is displayed. The reason why the game is prohibited in this way is to determine the data to be transferred to each counter 3 of the reservation destination.

  Next, it is determined whether the difference (remaining ball) between the theoretical holding ball and the holding ball is less than the tray value (= 150 balls) of the setting information in FIG. 3 (B7), and if it is less than the tray value (B7: YES), The reservation source payout process for paying out balls for the reservation original balls (= 150 balls) in the setting information shown in FIG. 3 is executed (B8, data (2) in FIG. 8) assuming that the number of balls is small for securing the table. Next, a reservation start signal indicating the reservation ticket ID is transmitted to each counter 3 of the reservation destination (see B9, data (3) in FIG. 8, FIG. 12), and the current theoretical holding ball and holding ball are stored. A reservation issuance process is performed for issuing the acquired coined ticket as a reservation ticket (corresponding to a reservation medium) (B10). If the remaining ball is equal to or greater than the tray value (B7: NO), the process proceeds to step B9 without dispensing the ball.

  When a reservation ticket is issued, the remaining ball is obtained from the difference between the theoretical holding ball and the holding ball, and the others are initialized. At this time, only the issued reservation ticket can be accepted by registering the ID of the issued reservation ticket. Data (4) in FIG. 8 shows a state in which 250 balls are left from data (3) and “123456” is registered as the ID of the reservation ticket.

  Whether each reservation counter 3 has received a reservation start signal (C1), a reservation cancellation signal (C5), or a reservation end signal in the reservation destination side reception process shown in FIG. It is determined whether (C8), the reservation end display is being displayed (C10), or the end flag is 1 (C14). When a reservation start signal is received from each counter 3 of the reservation-source gaming machine 1 (C1: YES), the reservation destination display is started (C2), and the shutter is closed and the counting is disabled (the table is secured) ( C3) A reservation destination payout process for paying out balls for reservation destination balls (= 125 balls) in the setting information of FIG. 3 to secure a stand is executed (C4). In the reservation destination display, a message indicating that the gaming machine 1 is being reserved is displayed as shown in FIG. When the reservation start signal is received, after the data is initialized (data (6) in FIG. 9), the reservation ticket ID indicated by the reservation start signal is stored, the payout ball, the reception holding ball, the reception theory holding ball Then, the reservation destination ball is added to the theoretical possession ball (data (7) in FIG. 9). In other words, the game balls for the reservation destination ball are paid back.

  As described above, in the state where the reservation ticket is issued and reservation of the reservation destination is completed, the reception theory holding ball that is the theoretical holding ball before moving the table and the reception holding ball that is holding the ball before moving the table are reserved. Since it is in a state where it is divided into three parts of the original data, the possession ticket data, and the reservation destination data, the acceptance theory possession balls and the acceptance possession balls are obtained as follows.

  When the player inserts the reservation ticket issued from each counter 3 of the reservation source gaming machine into each counter 3 of the movement destination, each reservation counter 3 confirms the reservation ticket ID. As a result, the reservation ticket is received (A3: YES), and the possession ticket reception process is executed (A4). In the holding ticket accepting process shown in FIG. 17, since the reservation is being displayed (reservation destination display) (E1: YES) and the ticket is a reservation ticket (E2: YES), the reservation person in FIG. The destination display is ended (E3), the count-incapable state is canceled by opening the shutter (E4), and it is determined whether the reservation display is a reservation destination display or a reservation source display (E5). In this case, since it is a reservation destination display (E5: reservation destination), a reservation confirmation signal is transmitted to each counter 3 of the reservation source (corresponding to reservation game determination) (E6, refer to FIG. 12), The theoretical holding balls and holding balls stored in the reservation ticket are added (E7). The data (8) in FIG. 9 has 1725 balls and 1975 balls, as shown in the data (3) in FIG. 8, and therefore has 1725 (= 0 + 1725) balls and a reception ball. Is 1850 (= 125 + 1725) balls, and the theoretical holding balls and reception theory holding balls are 2100 (= 125 + 1975) balls. When the accepted coin ticket is other than a reserved ticket (E2: NO), an error is displayed (E8).

  As described above, among the data before moving the table that was divided into the reservation source, the reservation destination, and the reservation ticket, the theoretical holding ball and the possession of the reservation ticket By adding the ball, the data of the reservation destination and the reservation ticket can be added up, so the rest is the data of the reservation source. In this case, since there is a remaining ball that should be added as a possession ball in order to secure a stand in the reservation source gaming machine, the remaining ball is added to the retained ball as follows.

  Each reservation counter 3 in the reservation source side reception process shown in FIG. 16 receives a reservation confirmation signal (D1), receives a reservation cancellation confirmation signal (D4), or displays a reservation end display ( D6), it is determined whether the end flag is 1 (D10). When a reservation cancellation confirmation signal is received from each counter 3 of the reservation destination (D1: YES), a reservation end display is started (D2), and the count impossible state is canceled by opening the shutter (D3). In the reservation end display, as shown in FIG. 7, a message prompting the next player to count the game balls in the trays 10 and 11 is displayed. During the reservation end display (D6: YES), it is determined whether the counting ball is equal to or larger than the reservation completion ball (= 145 balls) in FIG. 1 (D7).

In the reservation display, that is, the reservation source display in FIG. 5, the reservation destination display in FIG. 6, and the reservation end display in FIG. 7 (E3: YES), both the reservation destination and each counter 3 of the reservation source are issued at the time of reservation. Only a reserved ticket can be accepted (E2: YES), and if another coined ticket is accepted (E2: NO), an error is displayed (E8).
By the operation as described above, the next player can count in each counter 3 of the reservation source.

  Each counter 3 of the reservation source ends the reservation end display (D8) and sets the end flag to 1 when the number of balls counted by the next player is equal to or greater than the reservation completion ball (D7: YES) (D8). D9). When the end flag is 1 (D10: YES), it is determined whether the counting ball is equal to or greater than the difference between the theoretical holding ball and the holding ball at the time of reservation, that is, the ball remaining in the reservation source gaming machine (remaining ball) ( D11), if it is equal to or more than the remaining ball (D11: YES), the end flag is set to 0 (D12), the remaining ball portion is subtracted from the holding ball and associated with the reservation end signal to each reservation counter 3 at the reservation destination. (D13, see FIG. 12). In the data (9) of FIG. 8, since the counting balls (= 260 balls) exceed the remaining balls (= 250 balls), a reservation end signal indicating the remaining balls is transmitted, and the data is stored as shown in the data (10). The updated state is shown.

When each reservation counter 3 receives a reservation end signal (C8: YES), it adds the remaining balls indicated by the reservation end signal to the reception holding balls and holding balls and ends the table movement reservation processing ( C9).
As described above, by counting the reservation counters 3, the reservation counters 3, the holding balls divided into reservation tickets and the theoretical holding balls before moving, And you can finally find the reception theory possession ball.

On the other hand, depending on the player, the game may be continued without moving the table by inserting the reservation ticket issued as described above into each of the reservation counters 3 and paying out the balls.
Each reservation counter 3 of the reservation source needs to cancel the reservation destination when the reservation ticket is received in the state of the reservation destination display (E2: YES, D5: reservation source) in the holding ticket reception process of FIG. Therefore, a cancellation determination is made to transmit a reservation cancellation signal to the reservation destination (E9). At this time, the theoretical holding ball and the holding ball of the holding ball ticket are added to the receiving theory holding ball and the receiving holding ball. The data (12) in FIG. 10 shows a state where the data (3) before the reservation ticket is issued is restored.

  When each reservation counter 3 receives a reservation cancel signal in the reservation destination reception process of FIG. 15 (C5: YES), it starts the reservation end display shown in FIG. 7 (C6), and releases the shutter. By opening, the counting by the next player is permitted (C7). When the count value by the next player becomes a reservation destination cancellation ball (= 120 balls) (C11: YES), the reservation end display is ended (C12), and the end flag is set to 1 (C13). Data (13) in FIG. 11 indicates that the counting balls are 150 balls. When the end flag is 1 (C14: YES), it is determined whether the counting ball is equal to or greater than the reservation destination ball (C15), and when it is equal to or greater than the reservation destination ball (C15: YES), the end flag is set to 0. (C16), a reservation cancellation confirmation signal indicating the reservation destination ball (125 balls) is transmitted to each of the reservation counters 3 (C17). At this time, the counting ball, the payout ball, the reception ball, and the reception theory ball in the terminal storage area are subtracted for the reservation destination ball, and the reservation ticket is initialized. The data (14) in FIG. 11 shows a state in which, as a result of subtracting the reservation destination ball, the counting ball and the holding ball are 25 balls, and the others are 0 balls.

  When each reservation counter 3 receives a reservation cancellation confirmation signal from each reservation counter 3 (D4: YES), the reservation destination ball indicated by the reservation cancellation confirmation signal is counted, A transition process to be added to the theoretical holding ball is executed (D5, refer to data (15) in FIG. 10). In this case, since the reservation end display is being performed (D6: YES), the reservation end process is executed as described above by moving to step D7.

  According to such an embodiment, each reservation counter 3 of the reservation source, when the reservation operation is performed by the player, on the condition that the reservation destination is not in operation, the reservation destination as a consideration for the holding ball Since the payout process is executed by each of the counters 3, the ball can be supplied to the upper tray 10 of the gaming machine 1 in which there is no player to play, and the reservation destination gaming machine is reserved. Can be notified to other players. In this case, since the balls repaid by the reimbursement process are paid for by the reservation person, the collateral for the table transfer reservation can be secured by the payment, and the possibility that the reservation person leaves the room as it is can be reduced. Furthermore, for the reservation person, the game can be started as it is at the reservation-destination game machine, so that the game can be made immediately without waiting for the first payout process after moving the table, which saves the trouble, and the operation rate for the game hall. Can be expected to improve.

  In addition, when the reservation ticket issued in response to the reservation operation is inserted, each reservation counter 3 cancels the reservation, and the reservation destination ball counted by each reservation counter 3 is the terminal. Since the transition is made by adding to the holding balls in the storage area, it is not necessary for the reservation person to perform the troublesome collection work of collecting the reserved balls that have been paid back to the reservation destination gaming machine.

In addition, when the remaining balls (theoretical holding balls-holding balls) of the reservation source gaming machine are less than the tray value, the reservation source each counter 3 pays out the balls for the reservation source balls, and each unit at the reservation destination After accepting the reservation ticket at the counter, the remaining balls (remaining balls + reservation original balls) counted by each counter counter of the reservation source are transferred to each counter counter 3 of the reservation destination. The gaming machine is also in a reservation state, and when the player turns back and wants to play a game on the reservation source gaming machine, the player can return to the reservation source gaming machine and play a game. Further, since game media are paid out by both the reservation destination and the reservation source gaming machines, it is possible to obtain more collateral for the game reservation from the player. Furthermore, when the game is started at the reservation destination gaming machine as reserved by the player, there is no need to perform unnecessary collection work.
In addition, in the reservation state, the reservation-destination gaming machine and the reservation-source gaming machine are set in the game prohibition state, and the prohibition state is canceled by counting the predetermined number of balls, so in order to cancel the prohibition state of the gaming machine, The player starts counting and can effectively collect the payout balls of the reservation person.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
In the stand secured state, in addition to paying out the possession balls, it is in a state where it is not possible to count and only accepts reservation tickets, but accepts valuable value such as cash in the lending device 2, lending processing, gaming machine 1 It is also possible to execute a prohibition process for prohibiting at least one of the launching (use) of the game balls by turning off the power source or so-called a handle stop (corresponding to a game prohibition means). In this case, the prohibition process other than the count disable state may be canceled according to the count, that is, according to the count of the reservation completion ball or the reservation cancellation ball, similarly to the reception process. In addition, since the reservation state can be recognized because the game balls are paid out, various prohibition processes such as a count impossible state and acceptance of a possession ticket may not be performed as the stand secured state.

Although the game machine 1 is directly selected at the time of the reservation operation, the reservation operation may be appropriately assisted, for example, by inputting a search condition and extracting and selecting the game machine 1 that meets the condition.
At the end of the reservation, at the time of cancellation of the reservation, only a part of the counting balls (remaining balls, reservation destination ball) is returned to the reservation person, but the first time after receiving the reservation cancellation signal or reservation cancellation confirmation signal All the counting balls that are in operation of the release timer that operates for a set time (for example, 1 minute) set by the management device 4 in accordance with the count may be returned. In this case, if the gaming machine 1 to be returned is in operation, a part is returned, while if it is not in operation, all counting balls are returned, etc. Also good.
A configuration may be adopted in which the reservation-source gaming machine is not secured (no game balls are paid out).

  As an example of the condition for canceling the reservation, the reception process at each counter 3 of the reservation source is illustrated. However, if the gaming machine 1 is other than the reservation destination, the reservation is made when the reservation ticket is received by the gaming machine 1 other than the reservation source. You may cancel. In this case, a reservation cancellation signal is transmitted to each counter 3 of the reservation destination and the reservation source, the same processing as in the embodiment is performed at the reservation destination, and the same processing as when the reservation confirmation signal is received at the reservation source. Just do it. Of course, the transmission destination of the reservation end signal and the reservation cancellation confirmation signal is transmitted to the gaming machine 1 that has received the reservation ticket.

Although the reservation destination cancellation ball and the reservation completion ball are set as the setting information, they may be used as the remaining ball and the reservation destination ball. In other words, the reservation end display in FIG. 7 may not be displayed, and other prohibited states may be canceled as the shutter is opened. Moreover, you may employ | adopt a reservation cancellation ball | bowl instead of a remaining ball | bowl.
When the gaming machine 1 is in an operating state without accepting the reservation ticket at the reservation destination, a warning notice such as “Please insert the reservation ticket” is displayed or voiced, and then for a predetermined period (time If the reservation ticket is not accepted even after the elapse of time or the update of a predetermined amount of game information, etc., an abnormality notification may be made by display or voice. Of course, abnormality notification may be used instead of the caution display.

  It is possible to collect (subtract) a lot of balls (for example, one ball) from the reservation person as a fee ball than a game ball paid out at the time of reservation at at least one of the reservation destination gaming machine and the reservation source gaming machine. In this case, the management device 4 accumulates and stores fee balls, and as described above, a player who is a player other than the reservation player plays a part of the fee charged as compensation when the reservation person suffers damage. It may be reduced. As a return method, the number of possessed balls in the gaming machine 1 in which the reservation person plays, the number of retained balls to be settled in the settlement apparatus (so-called POS) in which the reservation person settles the possession of the possession ticket, and the reservation person is the so-called storage ball The number of possessed balls (stored balls) deposited in the game hall and the number of retained balls in the gaming machine on which the reservation person plays can be added according to the operation of the employee or the like. According to such a configuration, even if a refunded ball that has been paid back at the reservation destination gaming machine is taken away by a malicious player, the damage of the reservation person can be compensated, so the player can rest assured. It is possible to make a movement reservation.

  When a reservation end signal or reservation cancellation confirmation signal is received, that is, when the payback ball collection process is completed, the reservation person is notified (displayed or voiced), after the reservation cancellation signal or reservation confirmation signal is transmitted When the collection process does not end for a predetermined time (for example, 1 minute), a notification that prompts the collection process may be performed. In this case, the reservation person who confirmed the notification for prompting the collection process calls the employee, and if the employee performs the collection operation, the reservation person can perform the collection process while playing the game.

  If each stand replay machine (for example, each stand counter having no counting function in the embodiment) is provided, the present invention may be adopted in a system without each stand counter. Further, the coin card may be not only a card-shaped storage medium but also a coin-type storage medium, for example. Moreover, you may employ | adopt a membership card etc. Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which associates and memorize | stores a possession ball etc. with the possession ticket ID in the management apparatus 4, without recording a possession ball etc. on a possession ticket.

Although the number of possessed balls is updated by an arithmetic expression, the number of retained balls may be directly specified. Of course, the same goes for the theory holding balls. Further, as the operation determination, the operation determination may be performed by operating an operation timer with a game signal other than the out signal, or by confirming the player with a camera or the like.
A part or all of the information processing performed by the relay device 5 may be performed by each counter 3, the lending device 2, the management device 4, and the like. Similarly, part of the information processing performed by the management device 4 may be performed by the relay device 5 or each counter. Of course, the lending device 2 and each counter 3 may be integrated.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, 2 is a lending device (operating means), 3 is a counter for each machine (accepting means, paying means, issuing means, updating means, status determining means, reservation payout means, counting means, release determination Equivalent to means, transition means, theoretical medium management means, reservation source withdrawal means, counting means, reservation game determination means), 4 is a management device, and 5 is a relay device.
