A game room system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 1 shows an outline of the overall configuration of a game hall system 1. In the amusement hall, a plurality of gaming machines 2 are installed, and rental machines 3 are installed corresponding to each gaming machine 2. These gaming machines 2 and lending machines 3 are connected to the relay device 4 two by two. A game signal, which will be described later, output from a device on the gaming machine 2 side such as the gaming machine 2 or the rental machine 3 is transmitted to the management device 5 or the like via the relay device 4. The management device 5 is installed in, for example, an office in the amusement hall, and is connected to each relay device 4 via the LAN 6 and is connected to a monitor 7 as an output means, a printer (not shown), and the like. The management apparatus 5 is also connected to a management server 9 provided outside the game hall via the network 8. In such a game hall, for example, several hundred gaming machines 2 are installed and are managed by the management device 5. In the amusement hall, a slot machine and a counting device (not shown) are also installed.

  The gaming machine 2 has a well-known configuration as a so-called pachinko gaming machine, a handle 2a for launching a pachinko ball (game value) as a game medium onto the board, a regular prize winning port 2b for starting a pachinko ball and starting A mouth 2c, a display portion 2d whose display pattern varies according to the winning of a pachinko ball, a big winning mouth 2e that is opened at the time of a big hit, a tray 2f, a holding number display portion 2g, and the like are provided. The gaming machine 2 performs a jackpot lottery in response to a pachinko ball prize (corresponding to a start prize) at the start port 2c, and displays a symbol variation (unit game) by a so-called special symbol (special figure) based on the lottery result This is executed by the unit 2d. Then, when the symbol stopped and displayed on the display unit 2d is a jackpot symbol, a jackpot is generated. The start port 2c is a so-called electric Chu type winning port in which the winning rate fluctuates depending on the lottery result of the general drawing lottery performed in accordance with the winning of the ordinary drawing winning port 2b.

In addition, the gaming machine 2 can hold the symbol variation corresponding to the start winning that occurred during the symbol variation up to a preset upper limit value (for example, four). The reserved symbol variation is sequentially executed after the symbol variation being executed is completed. In the gaming machine 2, a big hit lottery is performed with a pre-set winning probability (big hit probability). When the jackpot occurs, the gaming machine 2 opens the grand prize winning opening 2e as many times as the number of corresponding rounds. Note that the gaming machine 2 may be configured to be in a so-called probability fluctuation state or a time-short state after a big hit.
The gaming machine 2 and its peripheral devices (hereinafter referred to as devices on the gaming machine 2 side) having such a configuration are played by the player, such as driving a pachinko ball by the player and starting a prize at the starting port 2c described above. Along with this, a game signal as shown below is output.

Out signal = a signal that can specify the number of used media (out) output from an out BOX (not shown) for collecting used balls. Since one pulse is output for 10 recovered balls (used balls, driven balls), the number of out signals × 10 is specified as the number of used media (out). A signal directly output from the gaming machine 2 may be used.
Safe signal = a signal that can specify the number of payout media (safe) output from the gaming machine 2. Since one pulse is output for 10 balls to be paid out, the safe signal × 10 is specified as the number of payout media (safe). In addition, it is good also considering the replenishment signal output from a replenishment apparatus (not shown) as a safe signal.
Start winning signal = a signal that can specify a winning (start winning) to the starting port 2c output from the gaming machine 2. Since one pulse is output for each winning prize to the starting opening 2c, the starting prize is specified according to the input of the starting prize signal.
Symbol variation signal = a signal that can identify a symbol variation (actual operation) that starts variation (actuation) by starting winning at the start port 2c. Since it is output when the symbol variation is confirmed (at the end), the symbol variation is specified according to the signal input. It may be a signal output at the start of symbol variation.
Jackpot signal = a signal that can be specified for a period of jackpot output from the gaming machine 2. Since this is a state signal that is output at a level during the jackpot, receiving the jackpot signal is identified as being a jackpot.

The lending machine 3 includes a touch panel type liquid crystal display unit 3a for displaying game information and the like, a ball paying exit 3b for paying out pachinko balls, a coin insertion slot 3c, a camera 3d, a card insertion slot 3e, and the like. When the player inserts money (consideration) into the money insertion slot 3c, the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the inserted money is paid out to the tray 2f of the gaming machine 2 from the ball payout outlet 3b. The liquid crystal display unit 3a displays game data of the gaming machine 2 and the like. For example, the following gaming signals are output from the lending machine 3.
Sales signal = 1 pulse is output for each 25 balls loaned to the player, so the sales signal x 25 is specified as the loaned ball, and the value obtained by multiplying the loaned ball by the lending unit price (eg 4 yen) is specified as the sales amount. To do.

  The camera 3d (corresponding to the identification information acquisition means) has an imaging device such as a well-known CMOS sensor or CCD sensor, for example, and photographs the player's face. That is, the camera 3d acquires a face image that is identification information that can identify the player. This camera 3 d is connected to the relay device 4, and transmits the face image of the player photographed via the relay device 4 to the management device 5. The card insertion slot 3e is provided with a reading device (not shown) inside, and reads the member ID when the member card 10 in which the member ID is recorded is inserted. When the membership card 10 is inserted, the lending machine 3 can display game data aggregated for each player, display game information of other gaming machines 2, and the like. Even when the membership card 10 is not inserted, some game data may be displayed.

  Management device 5 (game data calculation means, nationwide introduction index storage means, regional introduction index storage means, output means, identification information storage means, game data storage means, same person determination means, game frequency determination means, game frequency classification means, game (Corresponding to the number calculation means) is a control unit composed of a CPU (not shown), a storage unit (not shown) such as a ROM, RAM, or HDD, and an input / output unit (not shown) which is an input means for transmitting and receiving the above-mentioned game signals and the like. It is composed of a computer with The management device 5 operates according to the control program stored in the storage unit, and for each gaming machine 2 and the gaming machine 2 based on the gaming signal from the device on the gaming machine 2 side input to the input / output unit. Game data is calculated for each model. Specifically, the management device 5 is a well-known game such as “out”, “safe”, “sad”, “symbol variation number”, “special prize number”, “spin rate”, “sales”, etc., based on the game signal input from the device on the gaming machine 2 side. Data is calculated for each gaming machine 2. At this time, the management device 5 aggregates the game data for each model based on the game data for each gaming machine 2 and displays it on the monitor 7 or the like.

  In addition, when the management device 5 receives a player's face image photographed by the camera 3d, the management device 5 attaches an individual identification number to each face image. Then, the face image (identification information) and the calculated game data are stored in association with each other. At this time, the management device 5 compares a plurality of face images (corresponding to “two or more pieces of identification information”) by performing image processing such as contour extraction and feature point extraction, and the face images are the same. It is determined whether or not it is a person. Based on the determination result, that is, when it is determined that they are the same person, the identification numbers assigned to the respective face images are associated with each other and identified as one player. At this time, game data stored in association with a plurality of face images of the same person is re-totaled as game data of the same person.

  Then, the management device 5 further determines whether or not the player determined to be the same person is a player who has visited the game hall for a plurality of days, and classifies the players. In this embodiment, a player who has visited more than 5 days in the previous month is classified as a regular customer, and a player who is less than 5 days is classified as a light player. That is, the management device 5 determines the game frequency for each player over a plurality of days based on the determination result determined to be the same person, and designates the player as a regular customer and other players according to the game frequency. Break down. In addition, you may change suitably the days, the determination period, etc. which determine with a regular customer.

  The management server 9 is a computer provided with a control unit (not shown) including a control unit (not shown), a storage unit (not shown) such as a ROM, RAM, or HDD, and an input / output unit (not shown) that is an input means for transmitting and receiving the game signals. It is configured. The management server 9 manages a game hall information site accessible from each game hall. This game hall information site is managed by a third party who is not related to a specific game hall, and each game hall can provide a dedicated page for advertising its own store. On the dedicated page, input information such as the amusement hall name, address, installed model name, and number of installations for each model input from the amusement hall side is posted. Then, based on the input information input from the dedicated page, the management server 9 installs the gaming machine 2 in each game arcade, the number of installed machines, the number of game halls where the model is installed, and the game Aggregate and store the address of the place as installation information.

Next, the operation of the game hall system 1 having the above-described configuration will be described.
When the game room introduces a new type of gaming machine 2, as described above, whether or not the model has been introduced to neighboring game halls, or whether the model has been introduced many nationwide The criteria for judging the effect of introduction differ depending on the reason. For example, when sales increase with the introduction of a new model, it is expected that the introduction effect of the new model will be high if the model is a model that has been introduced many nationwide. Therefore, the game hall system 1 uses the installation information described above in order to more accurately determine the introduction effect.

  The management device 5 of each game hall acquires the installation information described above from the game hall information site, for example, at the time of closing processing performed when the store is closed. At this time, the management device 5 acquires the nationwide introduction index and (item) and the region introduction index from the installation information collected by the management server 9. Here, the nationwide introduction index refers to the number of installed machines for each type of gaming machine 2 to be described later, among the installation information of the national unit, which is calculated for all (national) game halls registered in the game hall information site. (The number of nationwide installations), the number of game halls where the model is installed (number of nationwide game halls), and the ranks of nationwide installation numbers (national installation ranks) classified by rank classification described later. In addition, the regional introduction index is, for example, by area such as “within Aichi Prefecture” or “Nagoya City”, by distance such as “within a radius of 3 km from a designated playground” or “within a radius of 5 km from a predetermined address”, or “specified” Of the regional unit installation information compiled for the area (surrounding area) or game area within the range arbitrarily set by the game hall manager, such as by designated range such as The number of game machines 2 to be described later (number of regional installations), the number of game halls in which the model is installed (number of regional game halls), and the number of regional installations divided by rank classification to be described later (Regional installation rank). The installation information collected by the management server 9 corresponds to “information that can specify the nationwide introduction index and the regional introduction index”.

  The management device 5 requests installation information in units of nations or regions from the management server 9, and the management server 9 provides (outputs) the requested installation information. Specifically, the management device 5 requests installation information from the management server 9 by operating an “installation information update button” from a menu screen (not shown) displayed on the monitor 7. The management device 5 stores the acquired installation information in the storage unit, and displays the introduction index classified for each model on the monitor 7 as the model-specific introduction index shown in FIG. 2 may be output to a printer (not shown) or the like.

The following information is displayed in the model-specific introduction index shown in FIG.
Model name: The model name of the gaming machine 2. For example, model A, model B, model C, etc.
Number of nationwide installations: Number of nationwide installations of the model.
Number of game halls installed nationwide: Number of game halls where the model is installed in the national unit.
Nationwide installation rank: The rank described later with respect to the number of nationwide installations or the number of nationwide amusement halls.
Number of local installations: Number of local installations of the model.
Number of amusement halls installed in the area: Number of amusement halls where the model is installed in local units.
Regional installation rank: A rank described later with respect to the number of regional installations or the number of regional installation amusement centers.
Number of local playgrounds: The number of playgrounds existing in the region.
Regional installation rate: The ratio of the number of regional game halls to the number of local game halls (= the number of local game halls divided by the number of regional game halls).

Here, the details of the rank will be described. Although the number of installations and the number of installed game halls themselves can be grasped by referring to the model-specific introduction index shown in FIG. 2, it is difficult to intuitively grasp the meanings indicated by the magnitude relationship between these numerical values. Therefore, in the game hall system 1, the number of installations or the number of installed game halls is divided so that the meanings thereof can be easily grasped.
For example, when the management device 5 wants to divide the number of installations nationwide by rank, the rank target determination is set to “number of installations” on the display screen of the monitor 7 as shown in FIG. Set. In the case of FIG. 3, rank 1 is set to a range of 1-3000 units, rank 2 is set to a range of 3001 to 30000 units, and rank 3 is set to a range of 30001 to no upper limit. Is set. Since this nationwide introduction index covers the models introduced at the own store, that is, models in which at least one or more units are stored as installation information, the lower limit of rank 1 is set to 1.

  For example, when the management device 5 wants to classify the number of area-installed game halls by rank, the rank target determination is “number of game halls installed” as shown in FIG. 4, and the respective ranges are set for ranks 1 to 5. In the case of FIG. 4, rank 1 is set for the number of installed game halls 0, rank 2 is set for the number of installed game halls 1 to 2, and rank 3 is set for the number of installed game halls 3 or more. Has been. Since this area introduction index is for game halls other than its own store, the lower limit of rank 1 is set to 0 (there is no store that has introduced the model other than its own store). The number of ranks of the national introduction index and the regional introduction index can be set to a maximum of five in this embodiment, but is not limited to this.

By classifying by rank in this way, the game hall manager only looks at the model-specific introduction index shown in FIG. 2, for example, model A is rank 1 in both the nationwide introduction index and the regional introduction index. It is possible to immediately grasp that there are a small number of models, and that the model C is a model that is introduced in large numbers nationwide and regionally.
By the way, among the game halls, there are game halls that are not registered in the above-mentioned game hall information site. In this case, the game hall system 1 is configured so that the installation information can be updated by the game hall addition setting shown in FIG. The manager of the game hall, for example, if the game hall A in the vicinity of the store is not registered in the game hall site, the game hall name (game hall A), the model name (model A to model D, etc.), installation Enter a number. In this case, although it takes more time than the case where the installation information is acquired from the management server 9, the effect of introduction is determined in consideration of information on a game hall to be compared, that is, a game hall that can be a rival of the own store. Is possible.

  On the other hand, there may be a case where it is desired to exclude a game hall that is not necessary (or less necessary) to be compared among the game halls included in the region acquired from the game hall information site. For example, a playground that is in the same city but is far away. In this case, the administrator of the game hall sets a game hall (for example, game halls E, F, etc.) to be excluded from the outside area setting shown in FIG. Thereby, the setting information of the game halls E and F is excluded from the regional introduction index of the model-specific introduction index of FIG. 2, and the introduction effect can be determined more accurately. In addition, although the setting information of the amusement hall set in the setting outside the area is not reflected in the regional introduction index, it is reflected in the national introduction index.

As described above, in the game hall system 1, the display of the game data and the model-specific introduction index makes it possible to easily measure the introduction effect.
Furthermore, in the game hall system 1, the model-specific introduction index shown in FIG. 2 is utilized as follows. When the base date, nationwide installation rank, and regional installation rank are selected by the game hall manager from the menu screen (not shown), the management device 5 extracts the target model as shown in FIGS. Those game data are displayed on the monitor 7. FIG. 7 shows data for each model (model A, model E, model F, etc.) of the nationwide installation rank 1 and the regional installation rank 1 among the gaming machines 2 installed in the game hall. Further, FIG. 8 displays the game data for each model (model B, model G, model H, etc.) of the nationwide installation rank 3 and the regional installation rank 2 classified by week. The meaning of each item is as follows. The post-introduction data shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 is game data for the week calculated from the date of introduction of the model.
Regular customer ratio: The percentage of regular customers described later.
Out: Number of pachinko balls used (injected) by the player per model.
Unit sales: Sales amount per unit of the corresponding model.
Gross margin: Gross margin per unit of the corresponding model. Unit sales-(safe x replacement unit price). Note that the replacement unit price is a unit price for replacement with a so-called special prize.

  Here, the standard date is a standard date for referring to the rank. The management device 5 stores 14 days from the introduction date (first day) as shown in FIG. Therefore, the manager of the game hall selects any of the first day to the 14th day. In addition, “Contributing” in FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 is for each model, it is determined whether the out per day per week is greater than or less than the contribution determination out. The contribution ends in a week. Here, the contribution determination out is a value calculated by a third party that aggregates data based on game data sent from a plurality of game halls, and means an average out per game machine per day for the previous week. The regular rate is the ratio between the total number of players who played the model in the week (total number of players) and the number of players determined as regular customers (number of regular customers). The number of regular customers divided by the total number of players.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the management device 5 displays game data and a regular ratio for each model. Thereby, the manager of the game hall can determine the introduction effect of the new model in association with the percentage of regular customers.
For example, in the case of FIG. 7, although the installation ranks are all 1 (the number of installations is small), for example, the regular ratio of the model E is 13% for the first week, 18% for the second week, and 23% for the third week. The model F has also increased from 10% to 19% to 26%. That is, it is estimated that the models R and F have succeeded in acquiring regular customers because there are few introduction stores (few rivals). On the other hand, in the case of FIG. 8, although the installation ranks are 3 and 2 (the number of installations is relatively large), in the model G, the regular ratio is 31% → 34% → 35% and in the model H, 29% → 29. % → 32%, compared to the models E and F in FIG. In this case, although the absolute value of the regular rate is a large popular model, it is estimated that there is a possibility that a new regular customer may not have been grasped as compared with the models E and F of FIG.

Moreover, the management apparatus 5 can also display these post-introduction data for each installation rank as shown in FIG. In this case, since the post-introduction data is displayed in a list, the entire trend can be analyzed immediately.
As described above, in the game hall system 1, in addition to displaying the model-specific introduction index, the game data and the regular ratio are displayed in association with each other, so that the introduction effect can be measured more effectively.

According to the management device described above, the following effects can be obtained.
In addition to the game data for each model and for each gaming machine 2, a nationwide introduction index indicating the nationwide introduction status of the model and a regional introduction index indicating the introduction status of the surrounding area are output. It is possible to objectively determine how the introduction situation to other amusement halls affects the introduction effect of the new model, and the effect of introducing the new model can be accurately measured based on the result.
Since the installation information for specifying the nationwide introduction index and the regional introduction index is acquired from the management server 9, the introduction index can be easily updated.
In addition to the introductory index, the player is identified, and the percentage of regular customers is displayed separately for regular customers and other players. It is possible to grasp the influence.

Since the player is identified by the camera 3d, the player can be identified even if the player does not insert the membership card 10. In this case, although it is expected that a new customer often does not own the membership card 10, the player can be identified regardless of whether or not the membership card 10 is owned.
The nationwide introduction index and the regional introduction index store game data, introduction indices, and the like not only for the gaming machines 2 that are currently installed, but also for the gaming machines 2 that have been installed in the past and are now removed. As a result, the introduction effect of the new model can be compared with the past situation, and the trend can be grasped and countermeasures can be taken.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the one exemplified in the above-described embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
In one embodiment, the player's identification information is acquired by the camera 3d, but a member card 10 (corresponding to an identification information recording medium) on which identification information such as a member ID that can identify an individual player is recorded is a card insertion slot. When it is inserted into 3e (corresponding to identification information reading means), the member ID may be read as identification information, and the same person or regular customer may be determined based on the member ID. The member ID is not limited to the member card 10, and for example, a member ID may be stored in a mobile phone and the member ID may be read.

For example, the number of sales for each model announced by a manufacturer or a store may be added to the national introduction index or the regional introduction index.
Although the ratio of regular customers indicating the percentage of regular customers is displayed, the number of regular customers may be displayed. Further, the total number of players may be displayed simultaneously in FIGS. If it is unknown whether the regularity ratio (total number of players) is 10 or 100, the regular ratio may not necessarily be effective information because the absolute value is large. Therefore, by displaying the number of regular customers together, it is possible to determine whether the value of the regular rate is appropriate as the reference value.

The gaming machine to be managed by the management device 5 is not limited to the one exemplified in the embodiment, and for example, a so-called sealed gaming machine or slot machine in which pachinko balls are not lent out or paid out may be managed. . A part of information processing performed by the management device 5 may be performed by the relay device 4 or the like.
The introduction index may be displayed for each gaming machine 2 in addition to the model as shown in FIGS. The same applies to the post-introduction data of FIGS. 7 and 8 and the installation rank data of FIG. Of course, data for each gaming machine 2 and model-specific data may be displayed together.
