Description

  The present invention relates to a game hall management system for managing a game hall in which a gaming machine capable of adjusting a game value grant rate is installed.

  When managing a gaming hall where a gaming machine setting value corresponding to a payout rate (a gaming value grant rate) of a slot machine or the like is managed, for example, a high gaming machine setting value with a high payout rate It is necessary to pay attention to whether information relating to a good platform such as a gaming machine in which a set value is set has been leaked from an employee of the game hall. It has been proposed to identify a player and manage the ratio of the number of games with a high setting value for each player.

  However, simply managing the ratio of the number of games with a high setting value as described above, for example, to prevent an unauthorized person who has received an information leak from detecting, It is not possible to cope with a case where an action such as playing a small amount of other gaming machines (non-excellent gaming machines) having set values is repeatedly taken.

JP 2006-006590 A

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the purpose of the present invention is to ensure that even if an unauthorized person who has received an information leak from a good table repeatedly plays other gaming machines to mislead the unauthorized person, It is in providing the management system for game halls which can detect.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, identification information of a player who plays a gaming machine capable of adjusting a game value grant rate is acquired, a player specifying means for specifying a player, and a game by the player specifying means The game period information indicating the player's game period is specified for each player based on at least one of the player identification result and the operation signal that can be used to specify the game period output from the gaming machine side. By inputting information that can identify whether or not it is a good machine that is a gaming machine whose game value grant rate has been adjusted to be more advantageous for the player than other gaming machines. A game information management means for managing excellent table information capable of specifying whether or not the machine is a stand, and a period unit in which the same player is continuously specified in the same gaming machine by the player specifying means. Corresponding to the period It is managed by the period information management means that manages the game period information specified by the information specifying means in association with the superior table information managed in association with the gaming machine, and the period information management means. A good stand operating rate specifying means for specifying a good stand operating rate for each player, which indicates a ratio of the total playing period information in which the corresponding gaming machine is a good stand among the total game duration information for each player, Attention player specifying means for specifying a player whose attention base player has a reference operating ratio that exceeds a reference operating ratio that is a reference value set in advance with respect to the good base operating ratio, as the attention player, and the attention player specifying means Output means for informing and outputting the specific result according to the above.

  In the invention described in claim 2, when the player is identified as the attention player by adding the game period information corresponding to the excellent table to the calculation target of the excellent table operating rate, During the period in which the attention player is playing the excellent platform, the player identification means is specified by the player identifying means on a gaming machine different from the excellent platform, without reporting that the attention player is the attention player. The result of the identification by the attention player identification means is notified on the condition that the player has been identified on and after the next business day of the game hall business day in which the excellent platform has been adjusted as an excellent platform. It is characterized by outputting.

  In the invention described in claim 3, it is possible to specify whether or not the first gaming machine which is the first gaming machine in which the player is specified by the player specifying means in the unit period set in advance is the excellent table. The initial game management means for managing information divided by the unit period for each player, and the ratio of the number of times that the first gaming machine was the excellent table among the number of times the player was identified by the first gaming machine. A first-time excellent specifying means for specifying, for each player, a first-time excellent rate, which is the number of times that the first-time gaming machine has been in the high-quality stand, and the first-time excellent specifying means for identifying each player. A player whose rate exceeds a reference initial superiority rate that is a reference value preset for the initial initial superiority rate, or a reference in which the initial excellent number is a reference value preset for the initial superiority rate Note players exceeding the first dominance And identifies as a player.

  In the invention described in claim 4, the time when the player is specified by the player specifying means in the preset unit period is earlier than the reference time set in advance with respect to the time, and the player is specified. Early time game management means for managing information that can identify whether or not the gaming machine corresponding to the means is the superior stand, divided by the unit period for each player, and among the number of unit periods that specify the player An early time excellent rate that is a ratio of an early time excellent number that is earlier than the reference time and is the number of unit periods in which the gaming machine identified by the player specifying means is the excellent table, Alternatively, the early time excellent rate specifying means for specifying the early time excellent number for each player is provided, and the attention player specifying means is configured such that the early time excellent rate is preset with respect to the early time excellent rate. The standard value that is the standard value More than the player, or is the early time prime number, and identifies the player exceeding the reference early Yu number set in advance as the reference value for the early time good number as noted player.

  According to the invention described in claim 1, since a player whose excellent stand operating rate exceeds the standard operating rate is specified as a caution player, for example, an information leak regarding a gaming machine is received from an employee of a game hall, and Even if a fraudulent person who knows and plays a game repeatedly repeats a few other gaming machines that are not good games so that the percentage of games played on the good games table does not become high, he or she is appropriately fraudulent. Can be detected.

According to the invention described in claim 2, the player is specified by the player specifying means different from the player specifying means corresponding to the gaming machine that specified the attention player (that is, the player is the attention player). And that the player has been identified on or after the next business day of the game hall business day in which the gaming machine that has identified the attention player is set as an excellent platform (ie, The specific result by the attention player specifying means is notified and output on the condition that at least one of the attention player came to the store on a different day from the day when it was specified as the attention player.
When you identify an attention player based on the pedestrian occupancy rate, if you identify the loyal player occupancy rate by specifying the pedestrian occupancy rate for the player's latest game, the latest game will be played automatically. It turns out that the existing gaming machine is an excellent stand. In that case, when the attention player plays the gaming machine, if the specific result of the attention player specifying means is output in the management device in the office of the game hall, for example, to the employee who entered the office There is a risk that the gaming machine is an excellent stand. In addition, if the identification result by the attention player identification means is output on the gaming machine side, for example, a lending machine, there is a possibility that another player may know that the gaming machine is an excellent table. Therefore, by adopting the above-described configuration, it is possible to output a notification in a situation that does not correspond to a gaming machine that is identified as an attention player, that is, a situation in which an excellent table cannot be specified, and the excellent table is an employee. And the risk of secondary information leaks being recognized by other players.

  According to the invention described in claim 3, the initial excellent rate or the initial excellent number is specified for each player, and the player whose initial excellent rate or the initial excellent number exceeds a preset reference value is specified as the attention player. . An unauthorized person who has received an information leak needs to know the gaming machine that is a good stand from the time of visiting the amusement hall, and must secure the gaming machine before other players can secure the gaming machine. Therefore, as a result, an excellent table is selected at the beginning of the store visit, and the first-time excellent rate becomes a high value. On the other hand, since a normal player does not grasp the excellent table when visiting the store, there is little possibility of selecting the excellent table first, and the first-time excellent rate becomes a low value. In this case, it is considered that the same applies to the first excellent number. Therefore, by specifying the attention player based on the first-time excellent rate or the first-time excellent number, it is possible to effectively execute the distribution between the fraudster and the normal player.

  According to the invention described in claim 4, based on the same idea as the invention described in claim 3 above, attention is paid to a player whose early time excellent rate or early time excellent number exceeds a preset reference value. By specifying the player as a player, it is possible to effectively execute the allocation between the unauthorized person and the normal player.

A management system for game halls according to a plurality of embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the plurality of embodiments, substantially the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.
(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a management system for a game hall according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 schematically shows the overall configuration of a game hall management system 1. A plurality of gaming machines 2 are installed in the gaming hall where the gaming hall management system 1 is provided. In the case of this embodiment, the gaming machine 2 is a so-called slot machine. Each gaming machine 2 has a lending machine 3 attached thereto. The gaming machine 2 and the lending machine 3 are connected to the relay device 4 and are communicably connected to the management device 6 via the relay device 4 and the LAN 5. The management device 6 is installed in, for example, an office in the game hall, and is connected to a monitor 7 corresponding to output means, a printer (not shown), and the like. In such a game hall, for example, several hundred gaming machines 2 are installed and are managed by the management device 6.

  The gaming machine 2 is provided with a display window 2a, a start lever 2b, a stop button 2c, a display lamp portion 2d, a medal slot 2e, a BET button 2f, and the like. The player can visually recognize the symbols of the reel provided inside through the display window 2a. As shown in FIG. 2, each symbol is drawn on the circumferential surfaces of the left reel, the middle reel, and the right reel. When each reel is stopped, it corresponds to the upper, middle, and lower stages of the display window 2a. Stopped display. That is, in the gaming machine 2, a symbol display area corresponding to a total of nine symbols is formed for each of the three reels. The gaming machine 2 inserts a medal (corresponding to the game value) from the medal slot 2e by the player, or operates the BET button 2f to give a predetermined number of credit medals (corresponding to the game value) (in the normal state). 3 cards, 1 in the bonus state) When the start lever 2b is operated in the inserted state (bet state) (when the game is started), the internal lottery is executed and the change of the reel is started, and the stop button By operating 2c, the fluctuation of the reel is stopped by so-called pull-in control (control for drawing a symbol within a predetermined pull-in range, for example, up to four symbols on the effective line and displaying it stopped).

  FIG. 3 shows an internal winning combination set for the gaming machine 2. The gaming machine 2 is provided with a BB (Big Bonus) role and an RB (Regular Bonus) role as so-called bonus roles, a 5-sheet role, a 7-card role, a 2-sheet role, and a replay role as so-called small roles. . As shown in FIG. 4, this gaming machine 2 has a total of five active lines (three in the horizontal direction corresponding to the upper, middle and lower stages of the display window 2a, and two in the diagonal direction). 1-5 are provided. When the game is started and the player operates the stop button 2c, and the symbols corresponding to the internal winning combination are arranged on any of the active lines 1 to 5, that is, the game is stopped and displayed on the active line. A winning combination is awarded when the symbol combination matches the symbol combination corresponding to the internal winning combination. When a winning is achieved, for example, a BB state or an RB state is generated or a corresponding number of medals are paid out (giving game value) according to the winning combination. Thereby, one game is completed. When a small combination is won internally, the winning state is valid only in the internally won game. On the other hand, when a bonus combination is internal, the winning state is carried over until the bonus combination is won. In addition, the BB state or the RB state generated with the winning of a bonus combination ends when a preset end condition is satisfied (for example, when the number of medals paid out exceeds 300).

  This gaming machine 2 is an internal winning by extracting one of the random numbers generated between 0 and 65535 in the internal lottery at the start of the game, and comparing the extracted random number with a lottery table (not shown). It is determined whether or not. FIG. 5 shows an internal winning table set in the gaming machine 2, that is, the number of winning random numbers assigned to each combination in the internal lottery. This internal winning table is provided according to the gaming state of the gaming machine 2 described later. For example, in the normal state, 256 for the BB and RB combinations, 4096 for the 5-piece combination, and 4096 for the 15-piece combination (in a state where the 5-piece combination is won on 3 active lines), 0 for the 7-piece combination 8192, 2656 winning combinations, and 8978 winning random numbers are assigned to replay winning combinations, and 43102 random numbers are assigned to loses that do not fall into any of the winning combinations. On the other hand, in the BB state and the RB state, 65535 winning random numbers are assigned to 15 winning combinations, and one random number is assigned to lose.

  Further, the gaming machine 2 includes a set value operation unit (not shown), and a plurality of, for example, 1 to 6 game machine set values for defining an internal winning probability or the like are set from the set value operation unit. . By selectively setting one of the six stages of gaming machine setting values, a payout rate (corresponding to a game value grant rate) is set as a theoretical value. The gaming machine 2 is set to be more advantageous to the player, for example, the higher the gaming machine set value, the higher the internal winning probability of the bonus combination. In the gaming machine 2, the winning rate (probability that each winning combination is won internally) is adjusted by changing the allocation of the winning random numbers, the winning rate is associated with the gaming machine setting value, and the gaming machine setting value is assigned to each gaming machine. By setting it to 2, the payout rate can be adjusted. That is, the gaming machine 2 is provided with a plurality of internal winning tables shown in FIG. 5 for each gaming machine set value. For this reason, for example, a specific combination such as a two-piece combination has different winning random numbers for each gaming machine setting value, and if the winning frequency is counted, the gaming machine setting value can be estimated.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the lending machine 3 includes an operation lamp 3a indicating an operation state, a money slot 3b, a medal payout port 3c, and a camera 3d (corresponding to a player specifying means). The operation lamp 3a is turned on when a failure occurs, and notifies the employee of the occurrence of the failure. When the player inserts a valuable value (for example, money) into the money insertion slot 3b, the lending machine 3 lends a number of medals according to the valuable value inserted from the medal payout opening 3c to the gaming machine 2. The camera 3d images the face of the player who is playing the corresponding gaming machine 2. That is, in the case of this embodiment, the camera 3d is provided corresponding to each gaming machine 2, and images a player who is playing the corresponding gaming machine 2 as needed. The player's face image (corresponding to the identification information) captured by the camera 3d is transmitted to the management device 6 via the relay device 4, and used for specifying the player in the management device 6 as will be described later. .

A gaming signal as shown below is output from the devices on the gaming machine 2 side such as the gaming machine 2 and the rental machine 3.
Out signal: corresponds to an operation signal, and is output from the gaming machine 2. Since the number of medals in the BET state (3 or 1) is pulsed in response to the game start operation, the number of out signals × 1 is out (the number of used media). The corresponding amount is also output when the replay winning combination is won.
Safe signal: corresponds to an operation signal and is output from the gaming machine 2. Since one pulse is output each time a medal is paid out, the number of safe signals × 1 is safe (the number of payout media). Even when a replay winning combination is won, the medals used in the game are output.
BB signal / RB signal: Corresponding to an operation signal, which is output from the gaming machine 2. Since the level is output in the corresponding bonus state (BB state or RB state), the signal reception period is specified as the bonus state.
Sales signal: Output from the lending machine 3. When a medal is lent out using the input value as a consideration, one pulse is output for every 5 medals (equivalent to 100 yen), so the number of sales signals x 100 is the sales amount and the number of sales signals x 5 Sales information is specified by, for example, making a sales medal.
The relay device 4 includes a control unit (not shown), an input / output unit that transmits and receives signals, receives a game signal output from the device on the gaming machine 2 side, and manages the received game signal via the LAN 5. By transmitting to the device 6, the communication between the device on the gaming machine 2 side and the management device 6 is relayed.

  Management device 6 (player identification means, period information identification means, game information management means, period information management means, excellent stand operating rate identification means, attention player identification means, initial player management means, initial excellent identification means, early time The player management means and the early time excellent rate specifying means) are composed of a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an input / output unit for transmitting and receiving signals, and a computer equipped with storage means such as an HDD. And operates according to a control program stored in a ROM, HDD, or the like. As is well known, the management device 6 aggregates game information based on game signals transmitted from devices on the gaming machine 2 side. For example, the management device 6 identifies the gaming state (normal state or bonus state) of the gaming machine 2, the difference number (= calculated by safe-out), the payout rate (= calculated by safe / out), the number of games, the sales It collects and manages game information such as information. These pieces of game information are tabulated and managed in a plurality of modes, such as game information for each gaming machine 2, or game information for the entire game arcade where these are tabulated.

  The management device 6 identifies a player based on the face image of each player captured by the camera 3d provided in the lending machine 3 (performs person authentication). Specifically, when the management device 6 acquires the player's face image, which is identification information for identifying the player, via the relay device 4, the management device 6 performs known image processing to obtain feature points from the face image, for example. The player is identified by extracting it. Strictly speaking, the management device 6 collects various data that makes it possible to distinguish a certain player from other players. Then, the management device 6 manages the identified player, the gaming machine 2 in which the player is playing, and the game information in the gaming machine 2 in association with each other. Further, the management device 6 stores the face image specifying the player in a storage unit or the like, thereby specifying whether or not they are the same player based on the face image that is captured and transmitted by the camera 3d as needed. In addition, it is also specified whether the same player continues to play games based on the game signal.

In addition, the management device 6 can set the abnormal balance detection setting shown in FIG. 6 for the entire game hall in relation to the present invention, and input the gaming machine setting shown in FIG. It is set and managed by.
The following items are set in the abnormal balance detection setting shown in FIG.
Unit period: A unit period for performing fraud detection (identification of an attention player). In FIG. 6, “1 day” is set on the basis of the business day, but not only the time period but also a phenomenon such as so-called movement of a table that changes the gaming machine 2 to be played, counting medals or exchanging prizes. The start and the end may be specified as the unit period.
Standard out: A set value for identifying a unit period for out as a player's visit. When the out in the unit period becomes equal to or greater than the set value, the unit period is specified as the game unit period.
Reference setting period: This is a period to be referred to for fraud detection, and is set in units of unit periods. It should be noted that, based on the game unit period for each player, rather than the game day business day standard, the retroactive standard that is the latest game unit period of the player is traced back by this set value, and the retroactive period is set as the reference set period.

Reference setting value: A reference value for the gaming machine setting value, and a gaming machine setting value equal to or higher than this setting value is specified as a high setting value (excellent table).
Standard operating rate: High operating rate that is the proportion of operating in the target period such as the reference period, where the game is played with a set value that is higher than the standard set value (“Game period information that the corresponding gaming machine is a good stand The standard value for “equivalent to the excellent stand operating rate indicating the ratio of the total”. In a state where the reference period has reached the reference setting period, the player is detected as the attention player when the high operating rate in the reference period is equal to or greater than the set value.
Standard initial high rate: Corresponds to the standard initial dominant rate, and the initial high that indicates the proportion of the gaming machine set value of the first gaming machine per unit period in the target period such as the reference period is the high set value A reference value for the installation rate (corresponding to “the initial excellent rate indicating the ratio of the number of times that the first gaming machine was the excellent stand”). In a state where the reference period has reached the reference setting period, when the initial high installation rate in the reference period is equal to or greater than the set value, the player is detected as an attention player.
Further, in the gaming machine setting shown in FIG. 7, the machine number of the gaming machine 2 and the gaming machine setting values set in the gaming machine 2 of the machine number are stored. This gaming machine setting value (setting value) corresponds to “information that can specify whether or not it is an excellent table”. As described above, the management device 6 manages the gaming machine 2 and the gaming machine setting value set in the gaming machine 2 in association with each other.

Next, the operation of the above-described game hall management system 1 will be described.
8 to 10 show an example of game information for each player that is collected and managed by the management device 6. The management device 6 sets the period in which the same player is continuously specified on the same gaming machine as one unit, and sends the above gaming information to each gaming machine 2 specified by the gaming machine setting shown in FIG. It is managed in association with the set gaming machine setting value. In this case, FIG. 8 corresponds to the player information of the player with player ID = 000001, FIG. 9 corresponds to the player with player ID = 000002, and FIG. 10 corresponds to the player information of the player with player ID = 00003. The items (records) collected and managed in FIGS. 8 to 10 are as follows.

NO, date of visit: “date of visit” is the date (unit period) when a player is detected. “NO” is a game totaled by two gaming machines, in which the gaming information in the latest gaming machine 2 played by the player is “NO1”, and the gaming information in the gaming machine 2 that played before is “NO2”. Information serial number. In each figure, the division | segmentation for every unit period (business day) is shown with the double line.
Game, Out: “Out” is an out specified during a period (game period) in which it is specified that the player is playing. Here, in consideration of the fact that one game is executed in the shortest 4.1 seconds in the slot machine and about 44 outs are consumed in the fastest, 2000 outs are about 1 hour (about 33 hours in the game hall). For example, if it is 10000 outs, it is managed as information indicating a game period of 5 hours, so that it becomes information indicating a game period and corresponds to “game period information”. In addition, “safe”, “sales information”, and the like may be stored. “Game” stores “◯” if the out of the unit period has reached the standard out (see FIG. 6), and “x” if not.

Setting, high setting: “Setting” is a gaming machine setting value that is set for the gaming machine 2 that identifies the player (see FIG. 7). “High” is stored as “◯” when “Setting” is equal to or larger than the reference set value (see FIG. 6), and “X” is stored when it is less than “Standard”. At least one of the “setting” and “high setting” corresponds to “good stand information”.
Balance: Calculated by the player's balance (= sales amount- (sales medal + safe-out) × exchange unit price). The exchange unit price is an exchange value per medal when the medal is exchanged for a free gift. In this embodiment, 20 yen is assumed.
Reference information: Information in the reference period. That is, it is information of a period that goes back by the unit period corresponding to the reference setting period starting from NO1 excluding the record in which “x” is stored in “game”, and “total” is the total during the reference period, “ “Average” indicates the average per day.

Cumulative information: “Total” and “Average” in all stored records. The same applies to the reference information, but “game” and “highly set” indicate the number of records in which “◯” is stored, and “set” indicates the average value of each target record.
High occupancy rate: Percentage of “high” out of all outs during the target period. It is calculated based on the sum of outs excluding records in which “x” is stored in “game” and the sum of outs in records in which “o” is stored in “high”. Explaining the information in the range shown in FIG. 8 as an example, the total of NO1 to NO8 out excluding NO3 is 47700, “high” is NO1, NO6, NO8, and the total of out is 25000. Therefore, the high operation rate = 25000 ÷ 47700 is calculated as about 52.4%. Although FIG. 8 shows only the information for 3 days (NO3 is excluded because “Game” is “x”), the reference period is actually 10 days, and the reference for that 10 days is shown. Since the total number of outs in the period was 150,000 and the total number of outs for “high installation” was 62500, in FIG. 8, the high operation rate = 62500 ÷ 150,000 was calculated to be about 41.7%.

    Initial high installation rate: A ratio in which the gaming machine setting value of the gaming machine 2 that played the first time in the unit period is “high installation” in the target period. If the information in the range shown in FIG. 8 is described as an example, the unit period of NO1 to NO8 is 4 (4 business days), and among these, NO6 and NO8 of the gaming machine 2 that played the first time “ Since “◯” is stored in “high installation”, the initial high installation ratio = 2 ÷ 4 = 50% is calculated. In the case of NO1, it corresponds to the second game of H23.7.8 (the first game is NO2), and the height is “◯”, but the height of NO2 corresponding to the first game is “×”. Therefore, the unit period of H23.7.8 is excluded from the initial high installation rate. As with the above-described high installation rate, the first high installation rate = 30% in FIG. 8 because the “high installation” gaming machine was played three times for the first time in the reference period of 10 days. It is calculated. The initial high installation rate is calculated by specifying the reference period without being classified according to whether “game” is “◯” or “×”.

In this way, in the gaming hall management system 1, when the same player is specified and it is determined that the gaming machine 2 is the same, the game information is updated by updating the same record, and the same player is updated. When it is specified by a different gaming machine 2 (when the player moves a table), a new record is created and the game information is updated, thereby managing the game period information that can specify the game period for each player. doing.
Then, the management system 1 for the gaming hall has a high operation rate, which is a ratio of the total out in the “highly installed” gaming machines 2 having a high gaming machine setting value, out of the total out of the player unit, the reference in FIG. A player who exceeds the occupancy rate is identified as a caution player. This identification is performed by the following consideration. Hereinafter, for simplification of description, a player indicated by player ID = 00001 is referred to as player A, a player indicated by player ID = 00000 is referred to as player B, and player ID = 000003. The player shown is referred to as player C. 8 corresponds to the game information of the player A, FIG. 9 corresponds to the game information of the player B, and FIG. 10 corresponds to the game information of the player C.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, although the average of the gaming machine setting values of the gaming machines 2 played by the players A to C is the same as “3”, pay attention to the “high availability rate”. Then, only the player C shown in FIG. 10 exceeds the reference operating rate. In this case, the player B shown in FIG. 9 also shows a high value of “high occupancy rate”. However, even an advanced player cannot see “high” from the time of visiting the store. There are many cases where the gaming machine 2 that is expected to be “installed” is not “highly installed”, and it is necessary to play the game machine 2 that is not “highly installed” to some extent in order to determine whether or not it is “highly installed”. That is, the player B shown in FIG. 9 is a normal player who is classified as an advanced player (not an unauthorized person) because the “high operation rate” is not as high as the player C shown in FIG. Assumed to be a player.

  Further, when paying attention to the “initial high installation rate”, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the players A and B have approximate values (30% and 40%), but the player C shown in FIG. Is about double that value (75%). This is because an unauthorized person who has received an information leak knows the “highly installed” gaming machine 2 from the time of visiting the store, and secures the gaming machine 2 before the gaming machine 2 is secured by another player. Since it is necessary, as a result, it is considered that a high value is obtained because the “highly installed” gaming machine 2 is played at the beginning of the visit. However, a normal advanced player such as the player B shown in FIG. 9 does not grasp the “highly-equipped” gaming machine 2 at the time of visiting the store, and therefore can play the “highly-equipped” gaming machine 2 first. Because it is difficult, it is assumed to be low.

  That is, the player A shown in FIG. 8 continues the game if the game result is good, such as a positive balance like NO1, but the balance is negative even if it is “high” like NO6. For example, if the game result is not good, it is assumed that the player is a beginner who finishes the game. Further, for example, the player B shown in FIG. 9 determines whether it is “highly set” by counting the winning rate etc. of the small role, and if it is determined “highly set”, it is like NO6. Although it is an advanced player who continues the game even if the game result is unsatisfactory, it is assumed that he is a normal player.

  The player C shown in FIG. 10 has a “high installation rate” and a “first high installation rate” both higher than those of the other players A and B. 2 has been grasped in advance, and game machines 2 other than “high” are intentionally played to distract the information leak (although a record that is not “high” has been created), the game period is short. While the occupancy rate is not lowered, more and more “higher” gaming machines 2 are played from the beginning of the game in order to secure “higher” gaming machines 2 ahead of other players. As a result, it is assumed that the “first high installation rate” is high. That is, it can be said that the player C is an attention player who may be an unauthorized person.

  In this way, the gaming hall management system 1 identifies the attention player and outputs a notification that the player is the attention player. In this case, in the case of the present embodiment, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, by displaying the “highly installed operation rate” and “initial high installation rate” columns, the player C (player ID = 00003 player) ) Is informed that it is a caution player. In the case of FIG. 10, both the “high installation rate” and the “first high installation rate” exceed the reference value, so both are identified and displayed, but only one of them exceeds the reference value Will identify and display items exceeding the reference value. In other words, the game hall management system 1 identifies the attention player based on at least one of the “high installation rate” and the “initial high installation rate”.

  In this case, when notifying and outputting that the player is a caution player, the player has been specified by another player specifying means different from the camera 3d provided corresponding to each gaming machine 2, That is, when it is determined that the attention player has moved from the gaming machine 2 that has been identified as the attention player, or after the next business day of the game hall business day in which the high setting value is set for the gaming machine 2 A notification output may be made when the attention player specifies. When a caution player is specified, it is obvious that a high setting value is set for the gaming machine 2, and therefore, when the management device 6 informs the player that the caution player is output, the gaming machine is notified to the employee. 2 that the high setting value is set, and when the game machine 2 is informed that the player is a caution player, the game machine 2 is informed to the other player. There is a possibility that it is understood that the set value is set. Therefore, in a situation in which the gaming machine 2 with the high set value cannot be specified, for example, when it is specified that the gaming machine 2 is identified as being the attention player, or the attention player is in the next business. There is a possibility that a secondary information leak that a third party will know that a high setting value is set by outputting a notification that the player is a caution player when specified after the date, etc. It can be reduced.

According to the game hall management system 1 described above, the following effects can be obtained.
Since the player who exceeds the reference operation rate, which is the reference value for which the high operation rate is set in advance, is identified as the caution player, for example, the gaming machine setting value set in the gaming machine 2 by the employee of the game hall A fraudulent person who plays a game after grasping an excellent table, which is a gaming machine 2 with a high setting value, has a high percentage of games played on the gaming machine 2 with a high setting value. Even if the game machine 2 is not set at a high setting value (not an excellent table) so as not to be played, even if the game machine 2 is repeated a little, it is possible to detect an unauthorized person based on the high availability rate. It becomes possible to detect unauthorized persons appropriately.

  In addition, the initial high percentage is specified for each player, and the player whose initial high percentage exceeds the preset reference value is specified as the attention player. Before the gaming machine 2 is secured, the situation of securing the gaming machine 2 can be properly grasped, and the illegal person and the normal player can be effectively distributed. Therefore, even if a fraudster who has received an information leak plays a gaming machine 2 other than “high” in order to distract the information leak, and the game frequency of “high” becomes the same as that of a normal player, It is possible to effectively identify an unauthorized person while excluding a normal player who has not received an information leak.

(Second Embodiment)
Hereinafter, a management system for a game hall according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that a time at which a game is started is added to a determination criterion for specifying an attention player. The configuration of the game hall management system 1 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
FIG. 11 shows the abnormal balance detection setting set by the management device 6. In this abnormal balance detection setting, in addition to the abnormal balance detection setting shown in FIG. 6, a reference time, a reference number of days, and a reference early high rate are set. Here, the “reference early high rate” is a reference value for an “early time high installation rate” described later.

  In the gaming hall management system 1 according to the second embodiment, the management device 6 uses the gaming machine setting value in the gaming machine 2 in which the time when the player is specified in the unit period is earlier than the reference time and the player is specified. Information that can specify whether or not is a high set value is managed by dividing it by unit period for each player. In addition, the management device 6 counts the number of unit periods in which the gaming machine set value in the gaming machine 2 that identifies the player is higher than the reference time among the number of unit periods that identify the player. The number of early-time high installations and the early-time high installation rate, which is the ratio, are specified for each player. That is, the management device 6 of the second embodiment corresponds to early time game management means and early time high rate specifying means.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, the game hall management system 1 provides a “time” field in each record, and plays a game on the gaming machine 2 in which a high set value is set for each player. It is determined whether or not the start time is before the reference time in units of unit period. If the gaming machine 2 having a high set value is played before the reference time in the “time” column, “○” If not, “×” is stored. This “time” corresponds to “information that can specify whether or not the gaming machine corresponding to the player specifying means is the superior table earlier than a preset reference time”. In this case, it may be detected that the gaming machine 2 is occupied by the player without detecting the start of the game. The total and average columns are the same as in the first embodiment, and the “early time high installation rate” is the ratio that the gaming machine setting value of the gaming machine 2 that played before the reference time in the target period is “high setting”. ("Early hour superiority rate that is the ratio of the number of early hours that is the number of unit periods that were excellent units"), and when the reference early high rate (corresponding to the reference early superiority rate) is exceeded Is identified and displayed as in the first embodiment.

Then, the management system 1 for the game hall identifies a player whose “early time high installation rate” exceeds a reference early high rate, which is a reference value set in advance for the early time high installation rate, as an attention player. . In this case, the combination of “high installation rate”, “initial high installation rate”, and “early time high installation rate” can be used to identify a caution player on condition that the reference value is exceeded in two items. good. In addition, the gaming machines 2 that are targeted in the gaming order, such as only for the first time, may be limited as targets of “time”.
In the second embodiment, by specifying the attention player based on the “early time high installation ratio”, the information leak is received in the same manner as the identification of the attention player by the “first high installation ratio” in the first embodiment. It is possible to obtain an effect such as being able to effectively identify an unauthorized person while eliminating a normal player who is not. In the case of the “first high installation rate”, there is a possibility that even if a player who visits the store lately plays a game on the “high installation” gaming machine 2, he / she may be identified as a caution player. With the “high installation rate”, there is no fear of this, and it is possible to more reliably identify the attention player.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to those exemplified in the above embodiments, and can be modified or expanded as follows.

  In the first embodiment, attention players are identified based on the “high installation rate” and “initial high installation rate”, and in the second embodiment, “early time high installation rate”. Instead of specifying, it may be specified by a real number. In this case, in the first embodiment, a player who exceeds a reference initial superior number that is a reference value set in advance with respect to the initial excellent number that is the number of times that the initial gaming machine has been on the excellent stand is specified as a caution player. In the second embodiment, a player who exceeds a reference early superior number that is a reference value set in advance with respect to an early time excellent number that is the number of unit periods that were excellent stands is specified as the attention player. . More specifically, for example, in the case of the second embodiment, instead of the reference early high rate (70%) shown in FIG. May be set as the reference value, and it may be determined whether the reference rapid increase rate or the like has been exceeded indirectly.

In each embodiment, the attention player is notified and output on the monitor 7 provided in the management device 6, but the notification may be output by printing on a printer. Further, for example, notification may be output by the operation lamp 3a of the lending machine 3, or a player specifying means may be provided in the prize counter, and notification may be output at the prize counter when an attention player is specified.
Although out is exemplified as the game period information, for example, a detection period of a player in the gaming machine 2 or detection of an out continuously during detection (determining that an input interval of an out signal is continuous within a set period) Any information may be used as long as the game information indicates the player's game period, such as adopting a certain period as the game period.
Although the setting value such as the gaming machine setting value is exemplified by the operation input, for example, the setting method such as setting by the signal input from the gaming machine 2 or the default setting is used. It may be adopted.

8 to 10, “setting” and “high setting” are set as management targets, but only one may be set as a management target.
All players that have detected a player, such as a configuration that does not set a reference out, or a case where the reference out is not reached. The unit period may be the target. In addition, a balance, a safe, etc. may be adopted instead of the standard out.
The fraud detection target is limited by dividing the period as in the reference information, but fraud detection may be performed without dividing the period as in the cumulative information.
Although the person authentication by imaging by the camera 3d is exemplified as the player identification, the player may be specified by biometric authentication such as fingerprint authentication, a membership card, a mobile phone owned by the player, or the like. A method may be adopted to increase the authentication accuracy. In this case, for example, a card insertion period may be specified as a gaming period for a membership card, and a period from detection of a fingerprint to non-operation determination in fingerprint authentication or the like.

  Attention When the notification output of the player is made after the next business day, if the high operation rate etc. is specified at the time of closing the store, the notification will be output naturally after the next business day. By specifying the rate, etc., it is possible to identify the player by imaging the player with a counter provided at the island edge or a terminal for clearing medals such as POS provided at the prize counter. If the player identified by the gaming machine 2 is a caution player, the fact may be notified. If the above-described secondary information leak or the like is not taken into consideration, it may be notified as it is during business. Of course, only the notification by the management device 6 may be performed first, and the notification output by the device on the gaming machine 2 side such as the lending machine 3 may be performed after the next business day.

  The target gaming machine 2 may be any gaming machine, such as a pachinko gaming machine or slot machine other than the illustrated slot machines, as long as it can set gaming machine setting values. When pachinko gaming machines are targeted and out is used as game period information, as is well known, if 100 outs are associated with 1 minute, the game period can be specified by out. Further, when the game period of the slot machine is specified by out, the out consumed for one game in the bonus state is less than that in the normal state, but this is less frequent and may not be considered as an error. A period corresponding to out may be set in advance and out may be managed for each gaming state, and the gaming period may be specified for each gaming state and added together to accurately specify the gaming period. Of course, it is also possible to target so-called encapsulated or credit-type gaming machines in which the balance of payment is changed by circulating the game media in the gaming machine and giving points. The expression of game value including game media and points such as

  For example, all of the exemplified game information may be specified directly or indirectly from the game signal. In addition, all the numerical values, items, and the like in the embodiments are examples, and any numerical values, items, and the like may be employed, and the illustrated configurations may be combined or not employed. Further, the abnormal balance detection setting in FIG. 6 may be set in units of groups such as models or islands. Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which performs a part of information processing which the management apparatus 6 performs by the relay apparatus 4 grade | etc.,.

  In the drawings, 1 is a game hall management system, 2 is a gaming machine, 3d is a camera (player identification means), 6 is a management device (player identification means, period information identification means, game information management means, period information management means) , Excellent stand operating rate specifying means, attention player specifying means, initial player managing means, initial excellent specifying means, early time player managing means, early time excellent rate specifying means), 7 indicates a monitor (output means).
