In step S301, the control unit 5e of the management server 5 determines whether or not there has been input of essential game result information or optional game result information, and payout rate information corresponding thereto, by an employee operating the input unit 5a. Determine whether.

  Here, a procedure for inputting the game result information and the payout rate information corresponding thereto by the employee or the like will be described.

  First, the employee or the like operates the input unit 5a to display a payout rate information setting screen as shown in FIG. 10 on the display unit 5b.

Next, an employee or the like inputs the game result information and the corresponding payout rate information while referring to the payout rate information setting screen. For example, for the required game result information “Bunker”, the store side makes the dividend rate information different depending on whether it wins with a specific outcome (“6” outcome) or when it wins with another outcome. Is input by operating the input unit 5a.
Taking Fig. 10 as an example, employees who have won a specific outcome ("6" outcome) for "bunker" will receive dividend rate information ("x1.5") and other outcomes. When winning by eye, the payout rate information (“× 2”) is input. As a result, the game result information “bunker” can be two types of game result information. When these pieces of information are stored in the payout rate information storage area of the storage unit 5c in the process of step S302, which will be described later, the payout information reflecting these pieces of information is calculated in the subsequent table game. Become.

  Further, for example, when the store side desires “2 draw” as the arbitrary game result information and “× 195” as the corresponding payout rate information, the above-mentioned essential game result information and the corresponding payout rate information are input. In the same manner as described above, the contents are operated by operating the input unit 5a.

  Such setting of the game result information and the corresponding payout rate information can be performed for each of the table game A and the table game B.

  If there is input of essential game result information or optional game result information and payout rate information corresponding to these, the control unit 5e proceeds to step S302, and if there is no input of these information, it proceeds to step S303.

(Step S302)
In step S302, the control unit 5e stores the essential game result information or optional game result information input in the process of step S301, and the corresponding payout rate information in the payout rate information storage area of the storage unit 5c. Perform the process.
The controller 5e performs the process of storing the various information in the payout rate information storage area, and then moves the process to step S303.

(Step S303)
In step S303, the control unit 5e determines whether or not a payout rate information acquisition command, game result information, and a participant terminal ID are received from the participant terminal 4. The payout rate information acquisition command, game result information, and participant terminal ID are transmitted to the management server 5 in step S213-3 of the payout information calculation process in the participant terminal 4.
After transmitting the various data, the control unit 5e moves the process to step S304.

(Step S304)
In step S304, the control unit 5e searches the payout rate information storage area of the storage unit 5c for payout rate information corresponding to the game result information received in the process of step S303. A process of transmitting to the participant terminal 4 corresponding to the participant terminal ID received in the process of step S303 is performed.
The control unit 5e performs a process of searching for dividend rate information and transmitting it to the participant terminal 4, and then moves the process to step S305.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the game result information and the payout rate information corresponding to the game result information are stored not in the participant terminal 4 but in the management server 5. Each time, it is possible to eliminate the complexity of storing the information in each participant terminal 4.
Further, since the payout rate information is not stored in the participant terminal 4, it is possible to reliably prevent an illegal act such as changing the payout rate information in order to obtain a large gain.
Furthermore, in the present embodiment, it is only necessary to transmit the payout rate information only to the participant terminal 4 that has requested the transmission of the payout rate information, so that the control burden on the management server 5 can be reduced.

(Step S305)
In step S305, the control unit 5e performs a process of storing the game result information received in the process of step S303 in the history information storage area of the storage unit 5c. Thereby, since game result information including a recent series of outcome data can be totaled, a baccarat ruled line can also be created based on this. In such a case, the baccarat ruled line can be displayed on the history information display unit 404 of the participant terminal 4 by transmitting such information to the participant terminal 4.
After performing the process of storing the game result information in the history information storage area, the control unit 5e ends the control process in the management server 5.
In the present embodiment, the payout rate information acquisition command, the game result information, and the participant terminal ID are received from the participant terminal 4 in which the game result information matches the expected game result information (step S213-2). (Step S213-3, step S303). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is also possible to receive the betting number information from all the participant terminals 4 in addition to the various data. Thereby, the management server 5 can calculate the payout information for all the participant terminals 4 and can store this information as a history. In such a case, the store side can grasp the sales etc. of the store by referring to this history.

  Thus, in this embodiment, various data transmitted between the dealer terminal 2, the participant terminal 4 and the management server 5 and the image data transmitted between the photographing camera 3 and the participant terminal 4 are The first network 6 and the second network 7 are transmitted separately. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the burden on these networks, and it is possible to smoothly transmit the image data as well as the various data. Therefore, since the various data can be transmitted without delay, the table game can proceed smoothly, and the game participant 12 can view the card image in real time. Cheating can be effectively suppressed.

  Further, in the present embodiment, only image data that is not necessarily required for proceeding with the table game is transmitted via the second network 7 different from the first network 6. Therefore, even if a failure such as a disconnection occurs in the second network 7, the influence does not reach the first network 6. Therefore, it is possible to effectively prevent such an inconvenience that the progress of the table game is stopped due to such a failure.

  In this embodiment, not only essential game result information such as “bunker” that is indispensable in a baccarat game, but also optional game result information such as “2 draw” arbitrarily determined by the store can be set. The payout rate information corresponding to the game result information can be arbitrarily set. In other words, since it is possible to arbitrarily increase the game result information of the baccarat game as a table game, a new interest can be added to the table game as a baccarat game, and the interest in the table game is surely improved. Is possible. Further, since the store side can change the dividend rate information in consideration of sales and the like, an increase in profit can be expected.

Further, since the game result information and the corresponding payout rate information are stored not in each participant terminal 4 but in the management server 5, each time the information is changed, the information for each participant is stored. The complexity of storing in the terminal 4 can be eliminated. Further, since the payout rate information is not stored in the participant terminal 4, it is possible to reliably prevent an illegal act such as changing the payout rate information in order to obtain a large gain.
Further, in the present embodiment, it is only necessary to transmit the payout rate information only to the participant terminal 4 that has requested the transmission of the payout rate information, so that the control burden on the management server 5 can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, betting information is given to the table game A by selecting either the table game A selection image display unit 402A or the table game B selection image display unit 402B and touching the display surface. A screen that can be input or a screen that allows bet information to be input to the table game B can be displayed. For this reason, the game participant 12 can confirm how much he / she has bet on the currently selected table game as well as other table games and the current table game status, etc. It is. Therefore, the game participant 12 can view these pieces of information simultaneously without performing a special operation.

  Further, when either the table game A selection image display unit 402A or the table game B selection image display unit 402B is selected and the display surface is touched, it is displayed on the display unit that is not selected. Although the contents of the bet information display section 403 and the like are difficult to see, they are displayed so as to be dimly visible so that they can be visually recognized by the game participant 12. For this reason, since the currently selected table game can be recognized at a glance, it is possible to prevent the game participant 12 from accidentally betting on a different table game.

  In the present embodiment, when any one of the betting number information images (406a to 406d) imitating a chip is touched via the display surface of the display unit 4d, the selected image moves upward. It is configured. That is, since the game participant 12 can clearly grasp the currently selected bet number information (the currently set bet number per operation), an incorrect bet number can be added to the predicted game result. Inconvenience such as betting can be suppressed.

(Second Embodiment)
In the present embodiment, the calculation of the payout information is performed by the participant terminal 4, but may be performed by the management server 5.
