  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 schematically shows the overall configuration of the game information display system 1. A plurality of gaming machines 2 are installed in the game hall, and a gaming information display device 3 and a rental unit 4 are installed on the side of the gaming machine 2 in a one-to-one correspondence with each gaming machine 2. . In the present embodiment, a pachinko machine is assumed as the gaming machine 2, and a ball (so-called pachinko ball) is assumed as the game value (game medium). The gaming machine 2, the game information display device 3 and the lending unit 4 are connected to a relay device 5, and the relay device 5 is connected to a management device 7 via a LAN 6. The management device 7 includes a main device 7a, a monitor 7b, a keyboard 7c, and the like. Although omitted in FIG. 1, several hundred gaming machines 2 are managed by the management device 7.

  The gaming machine 2 has an operation handle 2a, an upper saucer 2b, and a lower saucer 2c that constitute a launching device, and a bonus face 2e, a first start port 2f, a second start port 2g, and a liquid crystal display unit on the board surface 2d. 2h, with a big prize opening 2i. The gaming machine 2 performs the following operations.

  (1) A jackpot lottery is performed in response to the ball fired on the board surface 2d by operating the operation handle 2a winning (start winning) in the first start port 2f or the second start port 2g, and the lottery result Based on the so-called special symbol (special symbol), the liquid crystal display unit 2h executes symbol variation and generates a jackpot according to the result. Note that the upper limit of so-called holding balls is four each, and if the winning is won during the execution of the symbol variation, the upper limit is retained, and the symbol variation that has been sequentially retained is executed after the symbol variation is completed.

(2) While the first start port 2f is a so-called navel type winning port where the winning rate does not fluctuate, the second start port 2g is a so-called electric-chu type winning port where the winning rate fluctuates due to regular drawing.
(3) The winning probability (probability of jackpot) of the jackpot lottery is 1/300, and the ratio of the jackpot that will be probabilistic (probable) after the jackpot is 66.6% (2/3). Then, the prize winning opening 2i is opened by an amount corresponding to the corresponding round number (R). Note that the upper limit winning number (upper limit number) of 1R is 8, the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds, and 1R ends when either the upper limit number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied.

(4) The number of rounds corresponding to the jackpot is 5R and 16R, and the distribution ratio is 25% for 5R and 75% for 16R.
(5) During probability change, the jackpot probability is improved to 1/30 and the winning rate to the second starting port 2g is improved (short time). Since the probability change continues until the next big hit, it continues until the big hit (ordinary big hit) that becomes the normal state (normal) after the big hit occurs, and when the normal big hit occurs, it returns to the normal state.

The gaming machine 2 and peripheral devices output the game signals shown below as the game progresses, such as driving a ball by the player and starting winnings in the first starting port 2f or the second starting port 2g.
“Out signal”: a signal that can specify the consumption value (out) output from the out BOX for collecting the consumption (use, driving, collection) balls. Since one pulse is output for 10 consumed balls, “out signal number × 10” is specified as out. A signal output from the gaming machine 2 may be used. The out specified by the out signal corresponds to the game value consumed in the game.
“Safe signal”: a signal that can specify a prize-giving value (safe) output from the gaming machine 2. Since one pulse is output for 10 payout (grant) balls, “safe signal number × 10” is specified as safe. The supply signal output from the supply device may be a safe signal. The safe specified by the safe signal corresponds to the game value given to the player due to the occurrence of a prize.

“Starting winning signal”: a signal that can specify a winning (start winning) to the first starting port 2f or the second starting port 2g output from the gaming machine 2. Since one pulse is output for each winning combination to the first starting opening 2f or the second starting opening 2g, the starting winning is specified according to the input of the starting winning signal.
“Symbol Fluctuation Signal”: A signal that can identify a symbol fluctuation (actual action) that starts fluctuation (actuation) in response to a start winning from the gaming machine 2 to the first start opening 2f or the second start opening 2g. . Since it is output when the symbol variation is finalized (at the end), the symbol variation (start) is specified according to the input of the symbol variation signal. It may be a signal output at the start of symbol variation.

“Big jackpot signal”: a signal that can be output from the gaming machine 2 and that can specify a period of a big jackpot state. Since the level is output during the jackpot state, the input of the jackpot signal is identified as being in the jackpot state.
“Probability change signal”: A signal that can be specified from the gaming machine 2 for a period in which the probability of winning the jackpot is high. Since the level is output during the probability variation state, the probability variation state input is identified as being in the probability variation state.

  The game information display device 3 includes a status display lamp 3a for displaying an operation status, an error status, etc., a liquid crystal display section 3b (corresponding to display means) for displaying various game data, and a membership card 8 (recording medium, 2) and a card discharge button 3d operated by the player to discharge the member card 8 inserted into the card insertion slot 3c. The liquid crystal display unit 3b is provided with a touch panel 3e, and the player can switch the type and display mode of game data displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 3b by operating the touch panel 3e.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the game information display device 3. In the game information display device 3, a control unit 3f (differential game value calculation means, differential game value recording means, maximum increase section specifying means, maximum increase game value, which is constituted by a microcomputer having a CPU, ROM, RAM, and I / O. The calculation means, the maximum post-data calculation means, the maximum decrease section specifying means, and the maximum decrease game value calculation means) correspond to the status display lamp 3a, the liquid crystal display section 3b, the touch panel 3e, and the membership card 8 inserted into the card insertion slot 3c. The card reader 3g for reading various information recorded on the card, the card ejection button 3d, and the input / output unit 3h for inputting and outputting various signals and various information are connected to the relay device 5. The game information display device 3 performs the following operations when the control unit 3f executes the control program.

(1) When the member card 8 is not inserted into the card insertion slot 3c, a message prompting insertion of the member card 8 into the card insertion slot 3c is repeatedly displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 3b.
(2) When the player inserts the membership card 8 into the card insertion slot 3c, various information recorded in the membership card 8 inserted into the card insertion slot 3c is read by the card reader 3g, and various game data are displayed on the liquid crystal display section. 3b or accepting operation input from the touch panel 3e.

  (3) The out signal and the safe signal output from the corresponding gaming machine 2 side are input, the out is specified based on the out signal, the safe is specified based on the safe signal, and “out ball = safe-out”. The value obtained by subtracting out from the safe is specified as the outgoing ball (the difference ball, the difference game value). Note that a value obtained by adding the number of borrowed balls to a value obtained by subtracting out from safe may be specified as an outgoing ball by an arithmetic expression of “out of ball = safe-out + number of borrowed balls”. The number of borrowed balls corresponds to the game value given to the player in accordance with the payment of money as will be described later.

  (4) The out-axis (number of shots) is plotted on the horizontal axis and the difference ball is plotted on the vertical axis. As a result, a play-out graph (differential game value graph) is created and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 3b (the differential game value is recorded at a predetermined interval).

  The lending unit 4 has a money insertion slot 4a for a player to insert money, and when the player inserts money into the money insertion slot 4a, a ball within the range of the input amount is lent to the gaming machine 2. The lending signal that can specify the number of balls to be lent (number of balls sold) is output to the gaming machine 2.

  The management device 7 includes a control unit having a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, an I / O, an input / output unit for inputting / outputting various signals and various information to / from the gaming machine 2, the game information display device 3, and the rental unit 4. Have. The management device 7 inputs / outputs various signals and various information to / from the gaming machine 2, the gaming information display device 3, and the lending unit 4, thereby playing game data (out, safe, difference ball, outgoing ball) in the gaming machine 2. Rate, start count, jackpot count, etc.).

In the game information display device 3, in addition to the operations (1) to (4) described above, the control unit 3f performs the following operations in relation to the present invention.
(5) In the payout graph, the maximum increase section in which the increase in the difference ball is maximum is specified. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the point where the difference ball is the minimum is specified as the maximum increase ball start point (“A” in FIG. 3), and the point where the difference ball is the maximum is the maximum increase ball output end point. ("B" in FIG. 3) is specified, and a section ("AB section" in FIG. 3) from the maximum increased start point to the maximum increased start point is specified as the maximum increase section. The difference between the difference ball at the maximum increase start ball start point and the difference ball at the maximum increase start point is calculated as a maximum increase difference ball (maximum increase game value), and the calculated maximum increase difference ball is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 3b. . FIG. 3 illustrates “AB difference ball = 12560 balls”. In this case, the maximum increase starting ball start point is not necessarily the minimum difference ball of the day. That is, for example, after specifying the maximum increase output ball end point, if the difference ball falls below the difference ball of the maximum increase output start point specified before that, the difference ball becomes the minimum difference ball of the day, but thereafter Unless the maximum increase difference ball is exceeded, the maximum increase start point is not changed. Similarly, the maximum increase appearance end point is not necessarily the maximum difference ball of the day. That is, for example, if there is a difference ball that exceeds the difference ball of the maximum increase ball end point before specifying the maximum increase ball end point, the difference ball will be the maximum difference ball of the day, but this time the maximum increase difference ball Unless it exceeds, the maximum increase output end point is not changed.

(6) The out in the maximum increase section is calculated as the maximum increase section shot ball number, and the calculated maximum increase section shot ball number is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 3b. FIG. 3 exemplifies “the number of shots between AB = 8720 balls”.
(7) Based on the jackpot signal input from the gaming machine 2, the number of jackpots generated in the maximum increase section is calculated as the maximum increase section jackpot number, and the calculated maximum increase section jackpot number is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 3b. FIG. 3 illustrates “AB jackpot = 17 times”.

(8) The number of times the jackpot has ended in the maximum increase section and the return to the normal state is calculated as the normal state return number, and the calculated normal state return number is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 3b. FIG. 3 illustrates “normal state between AB = 2 times”.
(9) In the maximum increase section, the section ("CD section" in FIG. 3) in which the decrease in the difference ball is maximum is specified as the maximum decrease section. The difference between the difference ball at the start point of maximum decrease ("C" in Fig. 3) and the difference ball at the end point of maximum decrease ("D" in Fig. 3) is calculated as the maximum decrease difference ball (maximum decrease game value). The calculated maximum decrease difference ball is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 3b. In FIG. 3, “maximum concave between AB = 2060 balls” is illustrated.

  (10) The section from the end point of the maximum increase section to the end point of the game (“BE section” in FIG. 3) is specified as the maximum rear section. The difference between the difference ball at the maximum after-roll start point (same as the above-described maximum increase output end point ("B" in FIG. 3)) and the difference ball at the maximum after-release end point ("E" in FIG. 3) Calculated as a decrease difference ball (maximum post-reduction game value). As a method for determining the game end time, for example, a time when a predetermined time elapses from when the out signal is not input may be determined as the game end time. In addition, a game signal other than an out signal may be used. For example, a camera for imaging a player is provided in the corresponding game information display device 3, and an image captured by the camera is analyzed to finish the game. It may be determined whether or not.

  (11) Create a maximum payout history. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, for today, the maximum increase difference ball is set as “maximum output ball” and the difference ball at the maximum increase output end point is set as “maximum time difference”. The difference ball (when ending is completed) is set as “current difference”, and the difference ball obtained by subtracting the current difference ball from the difference ball at the end of the maximum increase is displayed as “decrease difference (= maximum time difference−current difference)”. . As for the past, the difference between the maximum increase difference ball is “maximum output” and the difference ball at the maximum increase output end point is “maximum time difference”. Is the “final difference” and the difference ball obtained by subtracting the difference ball at the end of the final game from the difference ball at the end point of the maximum increase is “decrease difference (= maximum time difference−final difference)”. Records for each business day (in FIG. 4, records from 7 days before to 1 day ago and the average of 7 days) are displayed in a list.

  In this way, the maximum difference ball that is the maximum increase difference ball and the decrease difference that is the difference ball that decreased in the interval from the end of the maximum increase interval to the end of the game are displayed, and the decrease difference is compared with the maximum difference ball Thus, it is possible to give the player information on how much it is. Further, by displaying the current decrease difference and the past decrease difference, it is possible to give the player information on how much the current decrease difference is compared with the past decrease difference.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, in the game information display device 3, the maximum increase difference ball, which is the difference between the difference ball at the maximum increase start point and the difference ball at the maximum increase start point, and the maximum increase Since the maximum post-decrease difference ball is displayed in the section from the end of the section to the end of the game, information on how much difference has decreased after the end of the maximum increase section Can be given to the player, and a determination material for estimating whether or not the current time is the maximum time of the game can be given to the player.

  In addition, today's maximum after-decrease difference ball and past maximum after-decrease difference ball are displayed, so whether to continue or end the game in comparison with the amount of game value that has actually decreased until now. Judgment material for consideration can be given to the player. In addition, since the maximum decrease difference ball that is the difference ball that decreased in the maximum decrease zone where the decrease of the difference ball becomes the maximum in the maximum increase zone is displayed, when the transition of the difference ball changes from increase to decrease It is possible to give a player a judgment material for examining how much reduction should be endured.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows. Note that some modifications shown below may be combined.
The example of calculating and displaying the maximum after-decreasing difference ball as the data after the maximum was illustrated, but for example, the number of jackpot lottery executed from the end of the maximum increase section to the time when the first jackpot occurred, the maximum increase section It may be configured to calculate and display various game data such as the number of jackpots generated from the end point to the end point of the game. If comprised in this way, the judgment material for examining what kind of correlation the end of the maximum increase section and the number of jackpot lotteries or the number of jackpots has can be given to the player.

Although the configuration in which the output ball graph with the horizontal axis as the out and the difference ball as the vertical axis is illustrated, the output graph with the time as the horizontal axis may be displayed. When the time is on the horizontal axis, even if the game is stopped, a dot calculated every time a predetermined time (for example, 2 minutes) elapses is plotted one dot at a corresponding position. With this, you will create an output graph.
