Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for a game parlor capable of performing authentication processing properly even in the case where the so-called riding-in occurs.SOLUTION: In the case where a riding-in operation according to authentication processing is performed (S106: YES) in a game device, a riding-in providing operation is allowed (S107) on condition that the riding-in value of a riding-in target does not exceed an authentication upper limit. As a result, in the case where a riding-in providing operation is performed, in which a game value to be subjected to a riding-in providing operation exceeds the riding-in value, the authentication processing has to be again performed so as to execute the riding-in providing operation again.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8

Description

  The present invention relates to a game hall system corresponding to a game hall provided with a plurality of game value rates used in gaming machines.

  There are not a few amusement halls that have a plurality of rates, such as a rental rate. Then, for example, as in Patent Document 1, it is desired to perform so-called boarding in which storage balls with different rates (game values deposited by the player at the game hall) are converted at a conversion rate between rates and game values are given. There are many needs.

JP 2011-83380 A

  Regardless of whether or not to enter, when performing a so-called replay process in which a game value is given by using a stored ball as a consideration, for example, an authentication process such as input of a password is performed. It is described that an authentication process is performed when entering. When such authentication processing is performed, it is confirmed whether or not the owner of the savings ball continues to play by periodically performing authentication processing. Need to be reduced.

  However, Patent Document 1 only describes that authentication processing is performed at the start of boarding, and does not consider performing periodic identity verification at all. In other words, in this case, when the player leaves the gaming machine in the state of entering, a large amount of grant processing is performed without playing the game by another person, and there is a possibility that the damage to the person will be great. obtain.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game room system capable of appropriately performing an authentication process even when there is a so-called boarding.

The present invention is a game hall system corresponding to a game hall provided with a plurality of game value rates used in a gaming machine,
A value receiving means that receives an acquired value that is the acquired value that a player has acquired through a game and that can specify a corresponding rate, and gives the player a game value as a consideration for the received acquired value A value giving means for performing a granting process, and another acquired value that is a game value of another rate that is a rate different from a grant rate that is a rate of the game value that is the target of the granting process, as a consideration A boarding processing means for performing a boarding process that is a conversion process between rates for performing the boarding and granting process, and an authentication process for accepting player authentication information when the boarding process is performed. Authentication means for performing, setting means for setting setting information capable of specifying an authentication allowable value that is an allowable value of a gaming value that is allowed according to an authentication result of the authentication processing, and the entry processing are performed. A boarding value specifying means for specifying a boarding value, which is a gaming value allowed by the boarding grant process, by comparing the gaming value to be subjected to the boarding process and the authentication allowable value. When the boarding value is specified, an accepting unit that allows the boarding processing to be performed on condition that the gaming value to be subjected to the boarding processing does not exceed the specified boarding value. (Claim 1).

The game system according to claim 1,
The authorization allowable value is for the grant rate, and the boarding value specifying means is a game for which the value obtained by converting the other acquired value at the grant rate by the boarding process is the target of the boarding process. As the value, the boarding value may be specified by comparing with the authentication allowable value (claim 2).

In the game system according to claim 1 or 2,
Regardless of whether or not the setting information is the entry grant process, the setting information can specify a grant allowable value that is a tolerance value for the grant game value that is a game value that is a target of the grant process in a predetermined period, When the boarding process is performed, the boarding value specifying unit compares the gaming value that is a target of the boarding process with the authentication allowable value, and the grant game that is the target of the granting process. The boarding value may be specified on the condition that the total value of the value and the boarding value does not exceed the grant allowable value (Claim 3).

In the game system according to any one of claims 1 to 3,
The acquired value includes a first acquired value that is a game value acquired by a player on the business day of the game hall and a second acquired value that is a game value acquired in a period including a period other than the business day. The authentication means allows the entry process without the authentication process as a condition when the entry process for the first acquired value is performed. In the case where the boarding process targeting the two acquired values is performed, the boarding process may be permitted on condition that the authentication process is performed.

In the game system according to any one of claims 1 to 4,
The setting information can specify a boarding grant allowable value that is a tolerance for a boarding grant value that is a game value that is a target of the boarding grant processing in a predetermined period, and the boarding value specifying means includes When a boarding process is performed, the game value that is the target of the boarding process is compared with the authentication allowable value, and the boarding value that is the target of the boarding process and the boarding process. The boarding value may be specified on the condition that the total value with the value does not exceed the boarding allowance value (claim 5).

In the game system according to any one of claims 1 to 5,
The authentication allowable value is divided into a first authentication allowable value for the grant rate and a second authentication allowable value for the other rate, and the boarding value specifying means determines the other acquired value. A first authentication comparison process that compares the value converted at the given rate by the entry process with the first authentication allowable value as a game value that is the object of the entry process, and the object that is the object of the entry process The boarding value may be specified on condition that a second authentication comparison process is performed in which the other acquired value is compared with the second authentication allowable value as a gaming value to be subjected to the boarding process. Item 6).

  According to the invention of claim 1, a boarding value is specified by comparing a gaming value to be entered with an authentication allowable value, and the specified boarding value is a gaming value to be subjected to boarding processing. Since the entry grant process is allowed on the condition that the game value does not exceed, the authentication process is performed again in order to execute the entry grant process in which the game value subject to the entry grant process exceeds the entrance value. Need arises. As a result, when another person illegally performs a boarding process, a regular authentication process is required, so that a player can be prevented from receiving a great deal of damage.

  According to the invention of claim 2, in order to identify the boarding value after comparing the converted value and the authentication allowable value for the grant rate, for example, when there is a quadruple value difference between the rates. When the authentication allowable value of 10,000 balls is set for the target before conversion, it is possible to prevent a substantially meaningless authentication process such that the game value after conversion is 40,000.

  According to the invention of claim 3, the granting process using the acquired value as a consideration must be restricted to some extent because the game hall loses the opportunity to obtain the monetary value. The same applies to the case. In this case, since the boarding value is specified by a value that considers the circumstances, the configuration that allows the boarding grant process based on the boarding value, the authentication process allowable value and the granting allowable value are considered. A boarding grant process is possible.

  According to the invention of claim 4, since the authentication process needs to accept the authentication information, it takes time and it is difficult to accept the authentication process more than necessary. In addition, while the first acquisition value is the acquisition value on the day of the business day, the second acquisition value is the acquisition value for the period before the previous day, so there is a high probability that it will be a large amount of acquisition value compared to the first acquisition value. . In this case, the authentication process is not a condition for the entry process for the first acquired value, and the authentication process is a condition for the entry process for the second acquired value. However, it is possible to perform an appropriate authentication process that suppresses an authentication process that is less necessary.

  According to the invention of claim 5, the boarding process loses the opportunity for the game arcade to obtain money value. Although it is necessary to limit to some extent, it is possible to specify the boarding value with a value that takes the circumstances into consideration, so the authentication processing allowable value and boarding grant are provided by the configuration that allows boarding processing based on the boarding value. It is possible to perform the entry grant process in consideration of the allowable value.

  According to the invention of claim 6, when more allowances are allowed or less, compared to a case where only one of the grant rate and the other rate is referred to, the allowance is allowed. Depending on the combination, such as when limiting, a more flexible entry process is possible. For example, when entering a high-value rate as another rate and a low rate as the grant rate, if you want to limit it less, perform the first authentication comparison process corresponding to the grant rate, otherwise allow more While the second authentication comparison process corresponding to the rate is performed, when the grant rate and the other rate are switched, the reverse process can be performed.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of a game hall system. A large number of gaming machines 1 (second value giving means) are installed in the game hall, and game devices 2 (value receiving means, value giving means, entry processing means, authentication means, Setting means, entry value specifying means, permission means, first value giving means, state switching means, issuing means, suppression means, first state switching means, second state switching means, recording medium holding means, saving means) and information A display device 3 is installed. These gaming machine 1, gaming device 2 and information display device 3 are connected to the relay device 4. The relay device 4 is connected to the management device 6 (setting means, saving means) via the LAN 5.

  POS7 (setting means, value acceptance means, exchange means, saving means, summing means, determination means, take-in means, return means, rate specifying means, target rate specifying means) and balance adjusting machine (not shown) Is also installed. The POS 7 and the balance settlement machine are also connected to the management device 6 via the LAN 5. The POS 7 is provided in a prize exchange counter in the game hall, and is operated by an attendant at the game hall. The POS 7 is attached with a card reader (not shown, value accepting means). When the general card 8 (second recording medium) is accepted by the card reader, the POS 7 recorded on the accepted general card 8 is received. Based on (acquisition value (first acquisition value) which is a game value acquired by a game), it is determined whether or not a prize exchange relating to the prize exchange is possible, and prize exchange such as storage of information relating to the prize exchange. Process (perform settlement processing for the acquired value). In this case, when the POS 7 handles the magnitude of the acquired value recorded on the general card 8, the POS 7 is acquired after checking the magnitude of the acquired value stored in advance corresponding to the general card 8 by the management device 6. The handling of value is effective, and prize exchange is allowed within the range of the effective acquired value. Further, when receiving the general card 8, the balance settlement machine performs a return process of the balance recorded on the received general card 8 (performs a monetary value settlement process).

  In FIG. 1, a pachinko machine using a pachinko ball as a game medium is illustrated as the gaming machine 1, but a pachinko corner in which a pachinko machine using a ball as a game medium is installed in a game hall, and a slot machine using a medal as a game medium. An installed slot corner is provided. The pachinko corner has a 4-pachi corner with a 4-yen pachinko machine with a rate, a 2-pachi corner with a 2-yen pachinko machine with a rate of 1.67 yen per rate. There are 1.67 pachi corners where pachinko machines are installed and 1 pachi corner where pachinko machines with a rate of 1 yen are installed. In the slot corner, there is a 20 slot corner where a slot machine with a rate of 20 yen per sheet is installed. That is, the game hall is provided with a plurality of corners having different types and rates of game values used in the gaming machine 1. As the rate, the lending rate and the exchange rate are the same rate, but different rates may be adopted.

  The management device 6 is installed in, for example, an office room in the game hall, and is connected to a keyboard 9, a monitor 10, a printer (not shown), etc. operated by the game hall manager. The management device 6 receives the game signal transmitted from the gaming machine side (the gaming machine 1, the gaming device 2, etc.), thereby managing the operating status of the gaming machine 1, the gaming device 2, etc., and for each player. The size of the acquired value (in the case of a possession ball or a member, the stored ball (second acquired value) is stored and managed. In addition, although not shown in FIG. 1, for example, several hundred gaming machines 1 are actually managed. It is a management target of the device 6.

  The management device 6 operates according to the stored computer program, temporarily stores a game information display service for displaying game data indicating the operating status of the gaming machine 1, and a game medium acquired by the player through the game. Alternatively, it is possible to execute a savings service that can be reused for games at a later date. In order to execute these services, the operating state of the gaming machine 1 is specified based on the gaming signal input to the input / output unit from the gaming machine 1, the gaming device 2, etc., and the gaming information is managed for each gaming machine 1. It is supposed to be.

  The gaming machine 1 is a CR pachinko machine and has an operation handle 12, an upper saucer 13, and a lower saucer 14 that constitute a launching device that launches a ball on the board surface 11, and a liquid crystal display unit 15 and a common prize winning on the board surface 11. It has a port 16, a first start port 17, a second start port 18, a big prize port 19, and the like.

The gaming machine 1 operates as shown below.
(1) The first starting port 17 is a winning port where the winning rate does not change (so-called “hemo winning port”), and the second starting port 18 is a winning port (so-called electric Chu) where the winning rate changes. A big hit lottery is performed in accordance with a winning (start winning) at each of the start ports 17 and 18, and a lottery result is notified by symbol variation performed on the liquid crystal display unit 15, and a big hit is made according to the variation result.

  (2) When starting winning a prize during symbol variation, the symbol variation is cumulatively held up to a predetermined holding upper limit value (for example, four each), and the symbol variation held after the symbol variation ends is started. In addition, when a start winning is made in a state where the number of symbols fluctuation (holding number) being held is the upper limit, the symbol fluctuation is not suspended.

  (3) The winning probability (hit probability) of the big hit lottery is 1/360, and the probability change rate that is the ratio of the big hit (probable change big hit) that becomes the probability change state (probability change) thereafter (both normal state and probability change state) 66.6%. When a big hit occurs, the grand prize opening 19 is opened for 15 rounds (R). The upper limit winning number of 1R is 10 balls, the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds, and 1R is ended when either the upper limit winning number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied.

  (4) During the probability change, the jackpot probability is improved to 1/31, and the short time state (short time) when the winning rate to the second starting port 18 becomes high. Since the probability change continues until the next big hit, it continues until a big hit (ordinary big hit) that becomes a normal gaming state (normal state) that is neither a big hit nor a probable change after the big hit occurs, and then a predetermined number (for example, 100 times) ) The time is shortened until the symbol variation is performed, and then the normal state is reached.

  (5) The second starting port 18 is in an open state with a high winning rate when a normal symbol (ordinary symbol) that fluctuates in accordance with the winning at the regular winning port 16 is hit. In this case, the fluctuation time of one time in the normal figure is 30 seconds in the normal state and 3 seconds in the short time state. The opening time is 0.3 seconds in the normal state and 5 seconds in the short time state. That is, in the short time state, the normal time fluctuation time becomes shorter than in the normal state, while the open time becomes longer, so that the winning rate of the second start port 18 becomes higher. Although a slot machine is also installed, detailed description is omitted.

The gaming machine 1 and peripheral devices attached to the gaming machine 1 transmit the game signals shown below as the game progresses, such as ball placement by the player and start winnings at the start ports 17 and 18. .
Out signal = a signal (operation signal) that can identify a consumption value (out) transmitted from an out BOX that collects consumed balls. Since one pulse is transmitted for 10 balls of consumption (use, driving, recovery), “the number of out signals × 10” is specified as out. A signal transmitted from the gaming machine 1 may be used.

  Safe signal = a signal that can specify a prize-giving value (safe) output from the gaming machine 1. Since one pulse is transmitted for 10 payout (grant) balls, “safe signal number × 10” is specified as safe. The replenishment signal transmitted from the replenishing device may be a safe signal.

  Start signal = a signal that can specify start processing (symbol change, actuating action, unit game) in the liquid crystal display unit 15 (combination) that changes (actuates) due to a start winning that is output from the gaming machine 1. Since it is output when the symbol variation is confirmed, the start process is specified in response to the reception of the start signal, and “start signal × 1” is specified as the start (the number of start processes). In addition, it is good also as a signal which shows a start winning prize.

The jackpot signal is a signal that can specify the jackpot period transmitted from the gaming machine 1. Since the level signal is transmitted during the big hit, the reception of the big hit signal is specified as the big hit.
Special state signal = a signal that can identify a special state (Gunnaka) transmitted from the gaming machine 1. Since the level signal is transmitted during the special state (during short time) in which the winning rate of the second start port 18 is improved, the reception of the special state signal is specified as the special state. It is also possible to use a status signal (probability change signal) that is level-transmitted during probability change in which the big hit probability is improved. Further, a period in which neither the big hit signal nor the special state signal is received is specified as the normal state.

  The gaming apparatus 2 is a lending machine with a so-called counting function, and a state display unit 20 indicating the gaming state of the gaming apparatus 2 and money into which money (one of the money value and valuable value owned by the player) is inserted. Input port 21, touch panel type liquid crystal display unit 22 that accepts operation input from the player and displays game data such as symbol variation count (start count) and jackpot probability as the game progresses, A payout button 23 for paying out, a payout nozzle 24 through which the payout ball passes, a card insertion slot 25 into which the general card 8 is inserted, a detachable counting tray 26 positioned below the lower tray 14 of the gaming machine 1 and the like. Have.

The gaming device 2 has the following functions.
(1) When money is accepted (money acceptance processing) because money has been inserted into the money insertion slot 21, both the gaming machine 1 and the gaming device 2 add and display the deposit amount. When a lending button (not shown) of the gaming machine 1 is pressed (lending operation or giving operation) in a state where there is a balance, a lending ball (value given value) for one lending unit is paid out inside the gaming machine 1 Paying out from the mechanism (performing a lending process which is a granting process for giving a game value usable for a game in exchange for a monetary value), and subtracting the consideration from the balance. In addition, the money can accept the corresponding portion of the payment processing for multiple times (for example, up to 10,000 yen). In addition, the payout of balls may be performed by the gaming apparatus 2.

  (2) When the lower tray 14 of the gaming machine 1 is operated (opened) and the ball that has fallen from the lower tray 14 is received by the counting tray 26, the received ball is counted as a holding ball (counting ball). And displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 22. When the payout button 23 of the gaming device 2 is pressed (withdrawal operation) in the presence of a holding ball, a part of the holding ball is paid out from the payout mechanism inside the gaming machine 1 (can be used for gaming in exchange for the acquired value). A payout process, which is an award process for giving game value, is performed), and the payout amount is subtracted from the number of coins. In this case as well, balls may be paid out by the gaming apparatus 2.

  (3) When a return button (not shown) of the gaming machine 1 is pressed in a state where there is a balance or a holding ball (when an issuing operation is accepted), the remaining balls and the total holding balls (the remaining valuable value excluding the exchange amount) ) Is issued (issue processing is performed). When the return button is operated in a state where the general card 8 is inserted into the card insertion slot 25, the balance card and the total number of balls are recorded and issued on the general card 8 inserted into the card insertion slot 25. When the return button is operated in a state where the general card 8 is not inserted into the card insertion slot 25, the IC card (stored recording medium) stocked in the card stock section (not shown) is inserted into the card insertion slot 25. It is issued as a general card 8 by paying out and recording (associating) the balance and the total number of balls. When the general card 8 is issued, information that can identify the own device (game device ID, device identification information), information that can identify the issued general card 8 (card ID, recording medium information), and balance recorded on the general card 8 And issuance information including information on the total number of balls is transmitted to the management device 6. In addition, it is possible to issue a split issue where a part of the balance or total possession is issued. Moreover, when the general card 8 is received, the balance and the possession ball are taken over.

  (4) A membership card (first recording medium) can also be accepted by inserting it into the card insertion slot 25, and the membership card can be associated with a ball and a balance in the same manner as the general card 8. However, the balance is written on the member card in the same manner as the general card 8, but the possessed ball information is not written on the member card, and is managed in association with the member ID which is the ID of the member card by the management device 6. When the member ID is associated, it is specified as a storage ball. That is, the earned value associated with the member ID as the player's earned value is a stored ball, the unsupported one is a possessed ball, and the stored ball is a game value acquired in a period including a period other than the business day. Since it is the second acquired value, it is possible to perform a refund process or giveaway exchange after the next day.

  (5) By performing data communication (serial communication) with the relay device 4, each process such as the above money reception process, grant process, counting process, refund process, issue process, card reception process, balance and lending Specify the number of balls, deposit amount, number of borrowed balls, sales amount, the number of balls to be paid, and the amount of refunded balls. These may be specified by a pulse signal (for example, one pulse for every 1000 yen deposited, one pulse for every 100 yen sales, etc.). Note that data communication when paying out a part of the lending balls or holding balls may be performed directly with the gaming machine 1 without using the relay device 4.

In the management device 6, a plurality of accounts corresponding to the above-mentioned rates for each corner are set for the member ID of the member card, and when balls and medals are counted, they are stored in association with the member card (deposit). can do. In other words, in this embodiment, 4 pachi accounts, 2 pachi accounts, 1.67 pachi accounts, 1 pachi accounts, and 20 slot accounts are set in association with the member ID, and the main account (corner For example, if you have 4 pachi corners, sub accounts other than 4 pachi accounts (2 pachi accounts, 1.67 pachi accounts, 1 pachi accounts, 20 slot accounts) ) Can be used. For example, in a 4-pachi corner, if there are 1000 stored balls or holding balls (same-day storing balls) in a 1-pachi account, 250 4-yen coins can be used for replaying the stored balls or paying out the holding balls.
It should be noted that the operation of the holding ball or the storage ball can be set as an option. In addition, it is possible to enter only a pachinko machine, to enter only a slot machine, and it is possible to set an operation that allows both.

FIG. 2 shows a boarding setting 1 which is a setting relating to boarding, and is set in each gaming apparatus 2 by being transmitted to each gaming apparatus 2 in accordance with a setting operation on the management apparatus 6.
The following items are set in the boarding setting 1.
Type = A gaming machine group according to the rate. In addition, the corresponding machine number range is set separately, and the type of the machine number range to which the machine number corresponding to the gaming device 2 belongs is the own rate (own type, grant rate) of the gaming device 2, and other types Becomes the other rate (other type), and the possessed ball or the stored ball becomes the other acquired value.

Authentication upper limit (authentication allowable value) = the upper limit of the number of replays that a player is allowed per authentication process such as a password or fingerprint authentication (authentication information).
Replay upper limit (granting allowance) = the upper limit of the number of replays allowed for one member ID per business day. This upper limit value is compared with the total number of balls paid out at the corresponding rate regardless of the entry processing, and replay up to this upper limit value is allowed.
Payout unit (standard operation grant unit) = When a game value is given, once when a lending process with a consideration as a monetary value, a payout process with a consideration as a ball, or a replay process with a consideration as a savings The upper limit that is the basis for game media that is paid out in response to an operation.

Unit of value = money value (rate information) to be subtracted when lending processing is performed for the payout unit
Conversion reference value = value information of the corresponding rate, which indicates a monetary value (rate) per game value indicated by unit of value / unit of payout. When performing the entry process, a value obtained by dividing the conversion reference value of the destination by the conversion reference value of the entry source is the conversion rate at the time of entry. For example, when entering from 1 pachi to 4 pachis, the conversion rate is 1/4 obtained by dividing 1 pachis conversion reference value (1) as the destination by 4 pachis conversion reference value (4) as the entry source. Then, the value obtained by multiplying the number of balls paid out in 1 pachi by entering and paying out and the conversion rate is subtracted from 4 pachis as a consideration.
In FIG. 2, the conversion reference value and the like are set for 20 slots to allow entry, but entry between different media such as balls and medals may be prohibited or restricted.

Issuing lower limit number (reference acquisition value) = standard value of game value required to issue general card 8, if the game value is less than this standard value, issuance conditions are not met, and general card The issuance process is not performed in consideration of the damage in the game hall for the cost of the general card 8 due to the removal of the eight.
Re-P unit (second minimum grant unit) = payout unit when performing replay processing (since the pachinko ball is paid out from the gaming machine 1, the minimum number of payouts when paying out from the gaming machine 1).

  On the other hand, a boarding setting 2 shown in FIG. 3 is set in the gaming apparatus 2, and is set in each gaming apparatus 2 in accordance with a setting operation on the management apparatus 6 as in the boarding setting 1. This boarding setting 2 is a type of replay processing (spotted boarding / withdrawing / dispensing) corresponding to itself for holding balls and storage balls (holding balls, etc.) having different rates (types) in accordance with a boarding operation described later. ) And payback processing (in-hand ball entering / exiting), when performing the entrance processing, which is a conversion process, is set to be referred to in the same manner as the entrance setting 1. That is, in the entry setting 2, a payout unit (incoming unit) including a payout unit different from the payout unit in the entry setting 1 is entered so that a fraction that is not an integer (less than the decimal point) does not occur during the entry process. It is set according to the combination. In other words, the holding-in / out-payout in which the holding ball is paid is paid out by the payout nozzle 24 of the gaming apparatus 2 that pays out in units of one ball (the payout unit by the payout nozzle 24 (first minimum grant unit, reference minimum grant unit)). On the other hand, the savings-in / out-pay-out that pays for the savings is the paying-out means of the gaming machine 1 that pays out in units of 25 balls (the paying-out unit by the gaming machine 1 (second minimum granting unit, reference minimum granting unit)). However, considering the fraction, different payout units are set according to the combination of rates to be entered and the payout means to be used.

  FIG. 3 shows the payout unit (the entry operation granting unit, except “minimum”) when the entry processing is performed from the boarding source to the boarding destination. The lower part ("Consideration") shows the value of the holding balls or savings that will be paid for when the portion is paid out. Is shown on the right side ("Re-P"). Further, the center (“minimum”) indicates the minimum entry unit (entrance minimum grant unit) when entering the holding ball. In other words, when the storage ball is the target, the entry process is performed on the condition that the payout less than the payout unit of the entry setting 1 is not performed, but only one type is set, but the holding ball is the target, Since the entry process is performed without such conditions, two types of payout units are set in order to enable payout of “minimum” units even if the payout unit is less than the payout unit 1 in the entry setting 1. Here, a payout unit different from the payout unit shown in FIG. 2 is set in the hatched area in FIG. 3, and this point is changed from 4 pachis to 2 pachis for holding balls. A case where the input process is performed will be described.

  When the entry process is performed from 4 pachis to 2 pachis, the conversion rate is ½ (= 2 ÷ 4). Here, when paying out 125 balls, which is a payout unit of 2 pachis, the subtraction target of 4 pachis is 62.5 (= 125 × 1/2) balls and cannot be subtracted in integer units. . Therefore, the minimum value (126) that is equal to or greater than the payout unit of the destination where the subtraction target is an integer is set as the payout unit, and the corresponding subtraction value 63 is also set so that the subtraction target remains an integer. The boarding process is possible. Each value of other portions indicated by the hatched area is specified by the same specifying method, and the specifying method will be specifically described below.

  As described above, when the subtraction value of the entry source corresponding to the payout unit at the boarding destination in FIG. 2 is not an integer, 1 is added to the payout unit at the boarding destination, and the payout unit corresponds to the value. If the subtraction value of the boarding source does not become an integer, the process of adding 1 to the payout unit of the boarding destination can be finally identified by repeating until the corresponding subtraction value of the boarding source becomes an integer. 3 is illustrated as a set value for convenience of explanation. If FIG. 2 is set, each set value in FIG. 3 can be specified by the above-described processing. 2 may be set in accordance with the setting of FIG. 2 or by performing processing every time during the boarding process, or the setting of FIG. You can go.

  Next, a description will be given of the entry setting when the storage ball is targeted. The payout unit is adjusted in units of one ball because the balls are paid out from the payout nozzle 24 when the holding balls are put in and out. It is necessary to adjust the payout unit at boarding according to the payout unit. This will be described by exemplifying a case where the entry process is performed from 4 to 2 in the same manner as described above.

In this case, similarly to the above, since the subtraction target of the 4 pachis of the boarding source in the case of the 2-patch payout unit (125) of the boarding destination cannot be an integer (62.5), the re-P unit (of the gaming machine 1) Among the values obtained by adding multiples of (payout units), the minimum value (150) in which the corresponding subtraction target is an integer is set as the payout unit. By such a method, the payout unit at the time of entry can be adjusted by the payout unit (multiple of the re-P unit) in the gaming machine 1, and the payout which does not become a multiple of the “re-P unit” can be prevented.
As a method of specifying the payout unit, if the corresponding subtraction value is not an integer, the re-P unit is sequentially added to the reference payout unit, and when the corresponding subtraction value becomes an integer, A method of specifying a value as a payout unit can be exemplified. Others are the same as above.

  The same applies to the “minimum” specification method. First, if one of the balls is paid out to the destination, if the subtraction value of the boarding source becomes an integer, one ball is the minimum payout. What is necessary is just to specify by the method similar to the above of adding 1 sequentially until the original subtraction value becomes an integer. In addition, although the structure which does not pay out below a payout unit was illustrated about the stored ball, when paying out below a payout unit, it should just specify "minimum" by the multiple of re-P unit like the above. By performing such a setting, when performing the payout process as described later in “minimum” which is a payout unit different from the minimum payout unit (reference minimum grant unit) of the payout means, a multiple of “minimum” It is possible to prevent a payout that does not occur.

  In the present embodiment, the payout at the time of entry is paid out by the payout nozzle 24 that can be paid out in units of one ball for holding balls, and the above processing is performed by paying out from the gaming machine 1 that pays out in units of P for stored balls. However, the above processing may be appropriately distributed depending on whether the payout means is the gaming machine 1 or the payout nozzle 24. Of course, when other payout means is employed and payout can be made only in a payout unit different from the above, a payout unit may be set separately in the same manner as the re-P unit.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a process related to the boarding process of the gaming apparatus 2. The gaming device 2 has received money (S101: NO), has received a counting ball (S102: NO), has received a lending operation (S103: NO), has a boarding operation (S104: NO), or is paid out Whether an operation has been accepted (S109: NO), a coin split issue operation has been accepted (S111: NO), a balance split issue operation has been accepted (S112: NO), an all issue operation has been accepted (S116: NO), or general A standby flow is executed indicating that the card 8 or the membership card has been accepted (S117: NO).

  When the player inserts money into the gaming device 2 or presses the lending button of the gaming machine 1, the gaming device 2 accepts money (S101: YES) or accepts a lending operation (S103: YES). Then, after corresponding processing such as money acceptance processing and lending processing is performed (S122), the storage area is updated for the balance and the like (S135).

When the player inserts the general card 8 or the membership card into the gaming device 2, the gaming device 2 accepts the card (S 117: YES), sets the holding ball entry flag described later to 0 (S 118), and then goes to the management device 6. By making an inquiry (S119) and updating the storage area (S120), a recording medium reception process such as taking over data corresponding to the general card 8 or the membership card is performed. That is, when the member card is inserted in the boarding state, the boarding state is terminated. This is because the balls of the membership card and the general card 8 may be added together, in order to prevent complication of processing in this case and confusion of the player.
In this embodiment, the member card can be accepted even when the general card 8 is accepted. However, the general card 8 cannot be accepted when the general card 8 or the member card is accepted (including a state where there is a holding ball). However, if the acceptance is possible, the state of entering the storage ball may be terminated.

4 and 5 show the storage area of the gaming device 2, and among the accepted monetary values, the balance, which is the monetary value that has not been paid for the lending process, and the game value acquired by the player by the game of the day Among them, there are game values that are not paid for payout processing, holding-in / out, or exchanging prizes, and games that are associated with the member ID of the player's own balls, including those before the previous day. A stored ball that is a coin that has been deposited to the venue and a replay number that indicates a game value paid out by a payout process, a boarding process, or a replay process are stored for each rate (by type).
In the storage area 1 shown in FIG. 4, there are 4 pachis, 1.67 pachis, 1 pachis, and 20 slots as available storage accounts, with 1.67 pachis for 3000 balls and 20 slots for 500 cards. This shows a state where the player's own replay has been performed.

Now, when the player uses a possession or storage ball of a sub account (another account) different from the main account, the player touches one of the liquid crystal display units 22 on the standby screen. Then, a menu screen is displayed.
FIG. 7 shows an example of each screen displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 22 during a boarding operation on the gaming apparatus 2. In the menu screen 1, “menu” is displayed in the title display portion 22a, and “share possession” button 22b, “use other account” button 22c, “payout balance withdrawal” button 22d, “insert membership card” button 22e. Is displayed, and the next menu screen can be displayed by touching the “next” button 22f. In FIG. 7, the member card insertion button is activated. However, if the member card is being inserted, the member card insertion button is inactivated.

  When the player touches the “use other account” button 22c, the gaming apparatus 2 determines that there is a boarding operation (S104: YES), and checks whether there is a holding ball as a boarding source (S105). . As shown in FIG. 4, if there is no possession ball as the entry source (S105: NO), the selection screen for the stored ball is displayed, and it is determined whether there is an entry source selection operation (S106). In other words, the selection priority order of the accounts to be selected is that if there are other types of balls, all types of balls that can be used regardless of whether or not there is a stored ball, and there are no other types of balls When there are types of storage balls, all types of storage balls available are selected.

  The selection screen shown in FIG. 7 shows a display example in the case of the stored information shown in FIG. 4 in the gaming device 2 in the 1.67 pachi corner. In the title display portion 22a, “account selection” is displayed and selectable accounts are displayed. In the case of FIG. 4, since there are no two-patch storage balls, only two types of other types of storage balls cannot be selected, and the “4-patch” button 22g, the “1-patch” button 22h, and the “20 slot” button 22i are activated. Is done. If there is no available holding ball or storage ball, the other account use button is deactivated and cannot be selected.

When the player selects a type to be a boarding source on this selection screen, the gaming device 2 assumes that a boarding source selection operation has been performed (S106: YES), and after executing an authentication process (S107), By setting the boarding flag and the storage ball authentication flag to 1 (S108), it switches to the storage ball boarding state (second boarding state) and the storage ball authentication state. In the authentication process, an authentication screen for inputting a password is displayed as shown in FIG. In this authentication screen, “password input” is displayed on the title display section, and a keyboard 22j is displayed.
In this authentication screen, when the member player is authenticated by inputting a pre-registered personal identification number with the keyboard 22j, etc., as shown in the confirmation screen 1, the boarding source type 22k, the boarding destination type 22l, The number of storage balls 22m and the entry value 22n are displayed.

  In the confirmation screen 1 shown in FIG. 7, the entrance type is 4 pachis, the destination type is 1.67 pachis, and referring to FIG. It shows that there is. In the following, a boarding process based on a stored ball will be described by taking a boarding process using 4 pachis as an entry source and 1.67 pachis as a destination.

  The payout unit of 1.67 pachis at the boarding destination is 150 according to FIG. 2, but the payout unit at the time of boarding with 4 pachis as the boarding source is 300 as shown in FIG. And the conversion rate is 5/12 (= 5/3 ÷ 4), and the conversion value to 1.67 pachis divided by 800 conversion balls of 4 pachis by the conversion rate is 1920 (800 ÷ 5/12) balls Become. This 1920 ball is below the authentication upper limit (3000) of 1.67 pachis, and 4920 balls, which is the total value of 3000 balls that are the current number of replays of 1.67 pachis, is 1.67 pachis of FIG. It is allowed because it is below the replay upper limit (7000). However, since it is a further condition that when entering with a storage ball, it is a condition that a multiple of the payout unit, the converted value 1920 balls divided by the payout unit 300 is 6 and the payout unit 300 is The multiplied value (1800 balls) is specified as the entrance value. That is, a maximum value that is not more than the converted value and is a multiple of the payout unit in FIG. 3 becomes a boarding value (boarding value) that is a gaming value that allows the payout process by the boarding process.

  That is, in the entry processing (storage ball entry processing) for the storage balls as shown in FIG. 4, the entry value (converted value) of the entry destination is the number of replay balls allowed by the authentication at the time of replay. As long as the upper limit of certification is not reached and the total of the replay ball number on the business day and the sum of the entrance values do not reach the upper limit of replay in FIG. 2, the corresponding payout unit in FIG. Specified to be a multiple of. As with the number of replay balls, it manages the value that has been entered and withdrawn, and the entry upper limit (entrance grant allowable value, for example, 50000) for which the sum of the value and the new entry value is set separately. The boarding value may be specified so as not to exceed. In addition, the entry value is identified by comparing not the entry destination but the entry source (the ball collected according to the entry / exit) as the comparison target with the upper limit such as the authentication upper limit and the replay upper limit. Alternatively, the boarding value may be specified by comparing both.

  On the other hand, if the conversion value exceeds the upper limit of authentication, the upper limit of authentication (with the converted value as the upper limit of authentication), and the entrance value after considering the payout unit to be a multiple of the payout unit as above When the sum of the number of replays and the converted value exceeds the replay upper limit, the boarding value is specified for the value obtained by subtracting the replay number from the replay upper limit. If the converted value exceeds both the upper limit of authentication and the upper limit of replay, the entry value is specified for the smaller of the upper limit of authentication and the upper limit of replay minus the number of replays. As above, a multiple of the payout unit is specified as the entrance value. Since the entry process is performed in consideration of the authentication upper limit, a visit value exceeding the authentication upper limit is not specified, and if the payout process for the visit value is performed, the entrance process with the authentication process is performed again. Since the necessity arises, the authentication process is periodically performed.

In the above example, the authentication upper limit (first authentication allowable value) is referred to for the authentication upper limit (first authentication comparison value), but the authentication upper limit (second authentication allowable value) of the entry source is referred to. It may be a target (second authentication comparison process). That is, in the above example, the four-patch storage ball (800) that is the entry source does not exceed the upper limit of authentication (2500), while the converted value (1920) and the upper limit of authentication of the entrance (3000) It is also possible to exemplify a configuration in which the upper limit of authentication is compared, and when either exceeds the upper limit of authentication, the entry processing may be performed at the upper limit of authentication. The replay upper limit is the same. In either case, comparison is made between the boarding source and the boarding destination, and if both are exceeded, a smaller value or a larger value set in advance may be adopted. In these cases, it is necessary to consider the payout unit as described above.
7, in the example shown in FIG. 7, when the 4-patch entry source storage ball is 800 balls, the entry value of 1.67 pachis is 1800 balls, and 1800 balls are obtained by operating the payout button 23. The boarding grant process until is possible.

FIG. 6 shows the storage area 3 of the gaming apparatus 2 related to the boarding state, and the “state” is a normal state in which the current state is not any of the storage ball boarding state, the holding ball boarding state, and the stored ball authentication state. It shows which of the states. In addition, if there is a possession ball of its own type regardless of whether it is in the storage ball authentication state, a withdrawal process, which is a payout process that considers the possession ball, is performed, and if there is no possession and the storage ball authentication state, the storage ball is considered A replay process that is a payout process is performed. As described in FIG. 4, the “incoming value” stores the specified inbound value, and “incoming payout” indicates the number of balls that have been paid out in a corresponding state. In the case of FIG. 6, as shown in FIG. 4, the entered value is specified and the stored value is set to “1800”, and then the entered and paid out for 600 balls (2 payout units) is performed. Indicates the state. Note that when the boarding / dispensing reaches the boarding value, it is specified that the boarding / paying process for the boarding value has been performed, and in this case, the boarding state is terminated. In addition, for the replay of its own type, refer to the number of replay balls, etc. during the authentication process, specify the number of balls that can be replayed in the same way as the boarding value, and then enter the accumulated ball authentication state. The stored ball authentication state is terminated by performing the replay process for minutes.
It should be noted that a state in which a storage ball entry flag, which will be described later, is 1 can be replayed by an authentication process when a storage ball is in the storage state, a state in which the holding ball entrance flag is 1 is in a holding ball entry state, Corresponds to the storage certification status.

  The storage area 2 in FIG. 5 shows a state in which the pay-in / pay-out for four payout units is performed from the state of FIG. Here, when the player moves from the state shown in FIG. 5 to the 4-patch corner by changing the game machine 1 to play the game machine 1 and enters the 1.67-patch ball with 4 pachis The ball entry process will be described.

  The gaming device 2 displays a selection screen for the holding ball when there is a holding ball (1.67 pachi is 3521 balls) as shown in FIG. 5 (S105: YES). When there is an entry source selection operation of the type (1.67 pachis) that becomes (S123: YES), the holding ball entry flag is set to 1 (S124), and the stored ball authentication flag is set to 0 (S125), switching to the holding ball boarding state (first boarding state). At this time, the confirmation screen 2 is displayed with reference to FIG. The display on the confirmation screen 2 is substantially the same as the display on the confirmation screen 1, but differs in that the entry target is a ball. In this case, since a password input is not required when entering the holding ball, the authentication screen is not displayed, and neither the authentication upper limit nor the replay upper limit is referred to. In addition, if the membership card is the target, the lower limit of issuance is not referenced, but if the general card 8 is the target, the cost of the general card 8 due to the removal of the general card 8 In consideration of the damage at the game hall, the lower limit of issue is referred to as follows.

  That is, in the entry process for the holding balls (the holding ball entry process), the entry process is performed after subtracting the issue lower limit number in FIG. In this case, it is a value equal to or less than the converted value from the value obtained by subtracting the lower limit number of issue from the holding ball of the boarding source, and the maximum value of the multiple of the “minimum” (minimum unit) value in FIG. As specified, if the number of possessions in the account other than the entry source is equal to or greater than the issue lower limit number, the entry process is performed without subtracting the issue lower limit number. In the example shown in FIG. 5, since the number of possessions of the account other than the entry source is 0, the issue lower limit number is subtracted from the possession origin possession balls.

  Specifically, the value (3271) obtained by subtracting the 1.67 issue lower limit number (250) (excluded from processing) 3521 from 1.67 is divided by the minimum consideration (12) in FIG. The quotient (272) multiplied by the minimum consideration (3264), that is, the value obtained by subtracting the issuance lower limit number and the maximum value that is a multiple of the minimum consideration, is converted into a conversion rate (12/5 = The value (1360) divided by 4 ÷ 5/3) is used as a boarding value (see confirmation screen 2 in FIG. 7), and the payout unit (125 balls) in FIG. 3 is paid out. That is, the payout unit × 10 times (1250 balls) and the remaining (110 balls) are the entrance values. In addition, it is also possible to specify by the method of the maximum value of multiples of the minimum (5) of payouts among the values less than the quotient (1362) obtained by dividing the value obtained by subtracting the issue lower limit number by the conversion rate. In this case, there are balls for the lower limit of issue in types other than the entry source, and if the issue condition is satisfied, the entrance value without subtracting the issue lower limit as described above (suppressing the exclusion process) Is identified.

Through the processing as described above, it becomes possible to subtract the holding ball according to the loading in integer units while keeping the holding ball at the number of issuance lower limit or more.
In addition, a boarding upper limit may be provided in boarding itself including the boarding process for the stored balls. In this case, there is an entrance limit for each type of entry or origin, and the number of balls collected at the entrance or the number of balls paid out at the entrance is the same as the replay limit. The entrance value may be specified so that the cumulative value on the business day does not exceed the entrance limit. Of course, other conditions such as a payout unit need to be taken into consideration, and both the entry source and the entry destination may be specified in the same manner as the authentication upper limit. In this case, it is possible to specify the entrance value on condition that the total value of the number of entrance balls by the replay and the refund process and the entrance value to be newly specified does not exceed the entrance limit. Although it is desirable, it is possible to divide the storage ball loading / unloading and the holding ball loading / unloading. Further, the upper limit of entry may be set by dividing the storage balls and the holding balls, the respective entrance values may be managed, and referred to separately at each specific time. Furthermore, the boarding upper limit may be compared with the boarding value, the game value paid out by boarding, or the value of the game value.

When the player presses the payout button 23, the gaming apparatus 2 accepts a payout operation (S109: YES), and performs a payout operation acceptance process (S110).
FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a payout operation acceptance process by the gaming apparatus 2. The gaming device 2 has a storage ball entry flag of 1 (S201: NO), a possession ball entry flag of 1 (S202: NO), a possession ball of its own type (S203: NO), or a storage ball authentication flag. It is determined whether the corresponding processing is possible in the priority order of 1 (S204: NO). When the storage ball entry flag is 1 (S201: YES), that is, in the storage ball entry state, a storage ball entry / exit process using the storage balls subjected to the entry grant process as a consideration is performed (S207). If the possession ball entry flag is 1 (S202: YES), that is, in the possession ball entry state, the possession ball entry / exit processing is performed using the possession ball subjected to the entry grant processing as a consideration (S208). When the storage ball entry flag and the possession ball entry flag are 0 and there is a possession ball of the own type (S203: YES), that is, when there is a possession ball of the own type in any state that is not in any entry state, A refund process as a consideration is performed (S209). When the stored ball authentication flag is 1 (S204: YES), that is, when the stored ball authentication flag is 1 in a state where the ball is not in the boarding state and there is no own-type possession ball, a replay process using the stored ball as a consideration is performed (S210). Then, after the end of each of the above processes, the storage area is updated (S211). That is, when a ball subjected to the entry grant process is paid out in response to the depression of the payout button 23, the number of holding balls, etc., as a consideration is reduced. In this case, the boarding state is continued even if the own-type possession ball is acquired during the boarding state, and then the boarding state is terminated when a termination condition such as exhausting the boarded ball is used. If none of the payout processing is possible and the stored ball is not authenticated (S204: NO), the above-described authentication processing is executed (S205). If the authentication is successful, the stored ball authentication flag is set to 1 (S206), and the replay processing is performed. Make it possible. As is well known, since the payout process is given priority over the replay process, the stored ball authentication flag is also set to 0 when the counting ball is received. Further, when there is no storage ball as a boarding source, or when there is a cancel operation or the like and no selection operation is performed, the authentication process is not performed.

  In the boarding state, the menu screen 1 shown in FIG. 7 is changed to the menu screen 2 and the “use other account” button 22c ′ is displayed instead of the “use other account” button 22c. The confirmation screen 3 is displayed by touching (releasing operation) the “other account use end” button 22c ′, and the boarding state can be canceled (terminated) by touching the “OK” button 22o.

  Here, in the boarding state, in addition to the above releasing operation, boarding / withdrawing for the boarding value, and a boarding end condition that is established by performing the issuing process of the general card 8 or the membership card is established. However, in the boarding state, the player gains a ball by playing at the boarding place (own type), and the gaming device 2 accepts a counting ball (acquired value not associated with the rate). Even in this case (S102: YES), the storage ball entry flag and the storage ball authentication flag are set to 0 (S121), and the storage ball entry state and the storage ball authentication state are completed. In this case, since the possession ball entry flag is not 0, the possession ball entry state is continued even when the counting ball is received. That is, when the possession ball is acquired, the entrance state of the keep ball continues, while the entrance state of the storage ball ends. This is to prevent the confusion caused by the change in the state of the consideration unintentionally due to a change in the state of continuation of the boarding state. Since the payout is a payout process that is unfavorable for the player with restrictions on referencing the replay upper limit, etc., the payout process can be performed without the need for the disadvantageous payout process. This is to end the disadvantageous state of the player. Of course, in order to prevent confusion, the state of entering the storage ball may be continued, or the state of entering the holding ball may be terminated without considering the above. When a counting ball is received, the game device 2 is naturally associated with the counting ball.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the entry process is possible regardless of the combination of the entry source and the entry destination. However, for example, the types are grouped, and the entry process is allowed only within the same group. Is also good (group means). For example, if 4 pachis and 2 pachis are group A, and 1.67 pachis and 1 pachi are B group, the 4 pachi gaming device 2 can carry on entry processing with 2 pachis as the entry source. You may make it suppress the boarding process which used 1.67 pachis, 1 pachis, or 20 slots as a boarding origin. In this case, on the selection screen of FIG. 7, a button corresponding to the type is displayed on the condition that the type is the same group as the type group to which the gaming apparatus 2 belongs, and there are possession balls and storage balls to enter. Thus, it is only necessary to suppress the entry processing of other groups. According to such a configuration, it is possible to appropriately meet the needs of the game hall that desires to be able to suppress entry between rates that allow entry, while allowing entry between rates that allow entry. It becomes possible.

  When the player touches the “deposit the deposit balance” button 22d on the menu screen of FIG. 7, the gaming device 2 accepts a balance split issue operation (S112: YES), and if a membership card is not being accepted (S113: NO) Then, the boarding state is continued as it is, and the balance division issue processing is performed (S115). If the membership card is being received (S113: YES), the stored-in / out flag is set to 0 (S114), and the entering state is terminated. In other words, when the balance split issuance operation is performed in the boarding state, the boarding state ends if the membership card is being received. This is because when the deposit balance is withdrawn, the balance is associated with the membership card and issued, and the target of entry is transferred from the membership card to the general card 8. This is to prevent the complication of the game and the confusion of the player. Although not shown in the flowchart, the storage card authentication flag is also set to 0 in order to issue a membership card. Here, balance split issue processing and the like will be described. The balance division issue process is an issue process in which only the balance is issued in a state where the balance and the ball are received. In this case, the balance is associated with the issued recording medium side, and the ball is associated with the gaming apparatus 2 side. Since the balance split issue process is performed for the player himself / herself to settle the balance, if the member card is accepted, the member card is issued. On the other hand, the Mochitama issuance process is an issuance process for a part of the Mochitama, but a part of the balance may be issued as a balance split issuance process. Therefore, the general card 8 may be issued.

  As described above, when splitting the ball, the general card 8 will be issued in order to pass the card to other players, but when splitting the balance, it will be issued for all balances with the ball remaining. Therefore, the player himself / herself performs an issuance process for the balance adjustment during the game. Therefore, the membership card is issued when the membership card is inserted, and the general card 8 is issued when the membership card is not inserted. Can be issued.

  That is, when the player touches the “share ball sharing” button 22b on the menu screen of FIG. 7, the gaming device 2 accepts the possession ball split issue operation (S111: YES), and if the membership card is not being accepted (S126). : NO), the ball split issue process is performed as it is (S130), and if the membership card discharge flag is 0 (S131: NO), the storage area is updated as it is (S135). As described above, in the possession ball split issue processing, the designated type of possession balls is associated with the general card 8 while the possession of the possession ball is continued. That is, even if it is in the boarding state, it is possible to issue a divided issue only for its own type. This is because, when the entry process is not performed, the possession split issue process is possible only for the own type, and the condition is continued even if the entry process is performed. In addition, while the membership card is being inserted (S126: YES), split issue processing for holding balls or storage balls is possible. In this case, setting the storage ball authentication flag and the holding ball entry flag to 0 (S127) After completing the on-state, the member card is discharged (S128), the member card discharge flag is set to 1 (S129), and the general card 8 associated with the designated holding ball or storage ball is issued (S130). Further, since the member card discharge flag is 1 (S131: YES), the subsequent replay process and the like are performed on the condition that the member card is inserted (S132: YES), and the storage area is updated (S135). . If a cancel operation or the like is performed without inserting the membership card (S132: NO), it is assumed that the issuing process for the membership card is performed by discharging the previous membership card (S133).

  Note that the membership card discharge flag is set to 0 after the determination in S132, and as a subsequent process when the discharged membership card is accepted, the storage ball authentication state may be continued. It may be continued or it may be terminated. In addition, any of the above-described divided issue processes during insertion of the general card 8 including balance split issue is an exception for continuing the boarding state when the general card 8 is issued.

  When the gaming device 2 accepts all issuing operations (depressing the return button of the gaming machine 1) for performing all issuing processing (S116: YES), all issuable valuable values such as balances and coins are issued. All the issued processes are performed (S134), and the storage area is updated (S135). Also at this time, since the boarding end condition is satisfied, the corresponding flag becomes 0 and the boarding state and the like are finished.

  On the other hand, in POS7, when a possessed ball or a stored ball associated with a general card 8 or a membership card is received, a replacement process is performed according to the type of the retained ball or the stored ball as a normal process. When accepting more balls etc. according to the summation operation, the exchange type (type subject to exchange processing) is set as the reference type (specified rate) as the sum of different types, and the rate is set to a value corresponding to the reference type After performing conversion between the two, the summing process of summing up different kinds of holding balls or storage balls (summing up different kinds) is performed. The types that can be accepted are limited to the type of ball that is allowed to be combined with different types in the setting information with respect to the type that was initially accepted.

  FIG. 10 shows the setting information regarding the different types of summing in the POS 7, and is set in each POS 7 in accordance with the setting operation on the management device 6. For different types of totals, the types for which “different types of totals” in FIG. 10 are (○) are the targets, and when different types of totals are added, “priority order” is the sum of the converted values of the highest type (reference type). To do. That is, in the case of the setting shown in FIG. 10, the reference type for adding different types is the highest four patches. In addition, even when the possession ball and the storage ball of the standard type (4 pachis) are not received, it is converted into the standard type at the time when the different types are added up. It should be noted that well-known basic settings such as the number of consideration balls (consideration) of exchange prizes classified according to type are set as a matter of course.

  FIG. 15 shows a flowchart relating to the different-type addition by the POS 7. In the initial state, a heterogeneous summation flag described later is set to 0. The POS 7 is executing a standby flow for determining whether a holding ball or a storage ball has been received (S301: NO). When the clerk reads the general card 8 or the membership card received from the player by the POS 7, the POS 7 accepts the possession ball or the storage ball (S301: YES), sets the exchange type as the acceptance type (S302), and accepts the exchange type. The exchange process is started as the type of the holding ball.

FIG. 11 shows an example in which the general card 8 is received by the POS 7, and the following items are set.
Acceptance order = order of accepting general card 8 Acceptance type = type of possession specified by accepted general card 8 Accepted number of balls = number of possession balls specified by accepted general card 8 Total type = on exchange process Target type (exchange type)
Accepted conversion value = Conversion value for the total number of balls received Previous conversion value = Value obtained by converting the number of balls of the total type (total number of balls) received before receiving the general card 8 with the new total type Total number of balls = Total value of the received conversion value and the previous conversion value, that is, a value obtained by converting the received ball of the received general card 8 by the total type, and the received ball to be exchanged In the example shown in FIG. In order 1 (first reception), a general card 8 of 1 pachi 4003 balls (acquired value) is received, and it becomes a normal general card 8 reception, so the total type (1 pachi), the reception conversion value (4003), In addition, the total number of balls (4003) remains as the holding ball associated with the received general card 8.

  During the exchange process, POS 7 has received an end operation (S303: NO), a storage ball or re-holding operation (S309: NO), a prize selection operation (S315: NO), a holding ball or a storage ball Is executed (S317: NO) or a hold operation is accepted (S321: NO).

  Now, when accepting a plurality of general cards 8, the attendant presses a summing button (not shown) of the POS 7. For example, the next general card 8 can be received by pressing the addition button in a state where the first general card 8 is received. When the POS 7 receives the general card 8 in that state (S317: YES), the POS 7 does not become a plurality of types (S318: NO), if the exchange type (same type) holding ball or the like is received. As a summation process, the summation type is maintained as it is. When a ball other than the exchange type (different type) is received (S318: YES), the heterogeneous summation flag is set to 1 as the heterogeneous summation (S319), and the summation type to the reference category as the heterogeneous summation Is changed (S320). In addition, if different types of summation have already been performed, the summation of a plurality of types is not necessarily newly performed. If a general card 8 associated with a type that cannot be combined by different types is accepted, the acceptance is rejected. In addition, when a plurality of types of possession balls are associated with the same general card 8, after selecting and accepting either, the general card 8 is accepted again by pressing the summing button and accepting the possession ball .

  In the example shown in FIG. 11, a general card 8 of 4 pachis and 500 balls (acquired value at different rates) is accepted in the order of acceptance 2. In this case, the new type general card 8 is received in the order of reception 1, and the total type before reception (1 pachi) and the type of the received general card 8 (4 pachis) are different. Change the total type to (4 pachis). That is, in the acceptance order 2, the accepted conversion value is the holding ball (500) of the accepted general card 8, but the previous conversion value is the conversion value of the reference type (in this case, the conversion rate is 1/4, so 4003 × 1 /4=1000.75), and the total is the total number of balls (1500.75).

  Here, when taking a possession ball from the general card 8, the type of possession ball to be taken in is selected, but to this point, the correspondence to the possession ball of the general card 8 is canceled to POS 7. Capture. The cancellation of the association means that the exchange is made to the POS 7 to exchange with the general prize, so that new exchange or replay cannot be performed. This does not eliminate the correspondence in the information such as.

  Acceptance order 3 accepts 2 pachis 2001 general cards 8 and accepts a new general card 8 in a state of specifying different types of summation processing, so the summation type maintains the standard type (4 pachis), The reception conversion value is the conversion value of the total type (1000.5 = 2001 × 1/2), and the previous conversion value is the total number of balls in the reception order 2, and the total number of balls is obtained (2501.25 = 1000.5). +1500.75). As described above, processing after the decimal point is also processed.

  In this state, the general card 8 of a type that can be combined with different types such as 1.67 pachis can be accepted, but the 20-slot general card 8 of the type that cannot be combined with different types shown in FIG. 10 cannot be received. . In addition, when a plurality of types are associated with the same general card 8 at the time of summation, it is a summation target by selecting which kind of possession ball is to be summed up for types that can be summed up by different types. Is identified. In addition, types that cannot be combined by different types are not selected and are not added.

  In the present embodiment, the case of adding a plurality of types has been described, but the types may be grouped, and the different types of addition may be performed by limiting to the types of the same group as the first received type. In other words, “Yes” or “No” is set as the setting of “addition of different types” in FIG. 10. For example, 4 and 2 patches are group A, and 1.67 and 1 patch are group B. (Group means), and limited to other types of holding balls and storage balls (given group other value) within the same group, it may be allowed to allow different types of summation. In this case, a configuration may be adopted in which holding balls of a group type different from the group of types already received at the time of addition are rejected. It should be noted that whether different types of sums are possible and the target group are specified by the type received at the beginning of the exchange process. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, 20 slots where disaggregation of different types is prohibited cannot be accepted as shown in FIG. 10 by accepting 1 slot first. However, if 20 slots are accepted first, 1 slot is accepted. Or 4 pachis etc. will not be accepted until the exchange process is completed. According to such a configuration, it becomes possible to limit the summation of different types to the processing between the rates in the group desired by the game hall, and it is possible to reduce the possibility that the summation of different types is performed without any darkness.

  In addition, in the case of summing up by different types, the reference type is set to the reference type even if the reference type (4 pachis) holding ball is not received, but the exchange type may be set as the reference type on condition that the reference type holding ball is received. . In this case, it is only necessary to set the type having the highest priority among the received types of holding balls as the total type.

The POS 7 executes a prize selection process (S316) when a prize selection operation is performed by an attendant (S315: YES). In this prize selection processing, the remaining prize (the number of exchangeable coins and storage balls to be described later) is subtracted for the consideration of the selected prize to make the selected prize temporarily exchanged.
FIG. 12 shows an example of a display screen of the POS 7 during the exchange process in which the general cards 8 up to the acceptance order 3 shown in FIG. 11 are received and the general prize 1 and the general prize 2 are selected as exchange prizes. That is, the total type in the type display unit 7a, the number of general cards 8 received in the received number display unit 7b and the number of times of holding balls in parentheses (2 if two types are received with one general card) The general prize display unit 7c displays the selection status of the selected general prize.

  Here, the total number display portion 7d displays the total number of balls as a total number, and the exchangeable display portion 7e displays a value obtained by removing the number of consideration balls from the total number of prizes (only the general prize in the state shown in FIG. 12) (exchange). In the special prize display section 7f, the number of special prizes that can be exchanged is displayed according to the type of large and small when all the exchangeable numbers are exchanged with special prizes, and the special prize is displayed in the fraction display section 7g. When the special prize displayed on the display unit is exchanged, the value obtained by subtracting the value of the exchange prize including that amount from the exchangeable number is displayed, and the type of the received recording medium is displayed on the recording medium display unit 7h. (Indicated by the hatched area in FIG. 12). Note that the total number is a value including a fraction that is not actually an integer, and in order to prevent confusion, only the integer part is displayed, but the decimal part may be displayed.

  The recording medium information display unit 7i displays the latest information of the received recording medium (such as associated holding balls). In the case of FIG. 11, the order of acceptance is displayed as “input 3”, and it is shown whether the ID of the general card 8, the number of possessed balls of each type, and the balance are associated with each other. (2 pachis in this case) is not displayed because the association has already been eliminated. In this state, when the “input display switching” button 7j, which is one of the operation buttons, is pressed, the information on the recording medium is displayed for the general card 8 that was accepted one time before, and when it is further pressed, the information on the recording medium. If accepted, the recording medium information display section 7i may be hidden and switched to the display as shown in FIG. 12 by pressing the “input display switching” button 7j. In this case, the general prize display section 7c is expanded before the display is started. Further, in FIG. 12, since the general card 8 is accepted and the number of exchangeable items is not less than a preset end reference value because the balls cannot be stored, the exchange process cannot be completed. The display is prohibited.

  When an exchange button (not shown) is pressed in the state of FIG. 12, the special prize displayed on the special prize display unit 7f is specified as an exchange target, and the display of the special prize display unit 7f is reversed to indicate that. The value excluding the consideration is displayed as the exchangeable number on the exchangeable display portion 7f. Further, when the exchangeable number becomes less than the end reference value, the end permission / inhibition display section 7k is changed from the display not permitting the current end to the display allowing the end, and the end of the replacement process is permitted. When the exchange process is terminated when the termination is allowed, 11 balls of the fraction displayed in the fraction display portion 7g, more precisely 11.25 balls of 4 pachis, are taken into the game hall as take-in balls. . In other words, numerical values that are not integers for the summation type are also accepted.

  In addition, when a member card is not accepted, a re-handling process (return process) for returning a ball etc. to the general card 8 is also possible. Alternatively, it is specified by selecting from the types that allow different types of addition processing for the type. That is, if the received operation is a re-holding ball operation (S310: re-holding ball operation), the POS 7 determines whether or not the heterogeneous sum flag is 1 (S323), and if it is not a heterogeneous sum (S323: NO). Then, as a normal exchange process, the re-holding ball process is performed for the exchange type (S324). If it is the sum by different types (S323: YES), the account selection process is executed (S325), and the remaining card is re-associated with the general card 8 received for the selected (return rate designation operation) as a target. A holding ball process is performed (S326), and if there is a fraction that does not become an integer, it is taken into the reference type (S327). In addition, you may perform a re-holding process separately with respect to the received classification | category without selecting a classification, In this case, since a fraction does not generate | occur | produce, it becomes unnecessary to take in.

  If the received operation is a storage operation (S310: storage operation), it is determined whether the heterogeneous sum flag is 1 (S311). If it is not a heterogeneous sum (S311: NO), the exchange is performed as a normal exchange process. The remaining storage processing is performed for the type (S328). If it is the sum by different types (S311: YES), an account selection process is executed (S312). In this account selection process, a confirmation screen for selecting an account of the type to be stored is displayed, and when the selection of the account is accepted, the remaining storage process is performed for the selected type (S313), and an integer The fraction that does not become is taken in the reference type (S314).

  FIG. 13 shows a confirmation screen in POS7. In this confirmation screen, the order of acceptance 1 and the order of acceptance 2 in the order of acceptance in FIG. 11 are summed up by different types by holding or storing balls with member cards, while order of acceptance 3 is accepted by the general card 8 as in FIG. 14 shows an example of a display screen in the case where the exchange information state shown in FIG.

Here, when accepting a storage ball, it is possible to select the reception type and the number of storage balls to be imported into the POS 7 so that it can be specified. This is prohibited in view of the complexity of processing and exchange information. In addition, addition of the same type of holding ball and storage ball and acceptance of the same type of holding ball are allowed.
In the state of accepting the membership card as shown in FIG. 13, since the exchange process can be completed even if it does not become less than the end reference value because the ball can be stored, the end permission / inhibition display section 7k is a display permitting the end. Yes.

  In the confirmation screen, whether the target type (rate) is specified (rate specification operation) in order to make it possible to save the remaining balls etc. after saving by different types Then, the confirmation display section 7l for accepting the operation of the reference type (specified rate) (specified rate operation) is pop-displayed. Regardless of which account is stored, if a fraction that does not become an integer is generated due to the sum of the different types when storing the balls, a take-in process is performed in which the balls are taken into the game hall side according to the reference type. This means that in any case, when performing the accumulated ball processing after performing different types of summing processing, associating a non-integer fraction with a player's account is taken into the amusement hall because management and processing become complicated Because it becomes. By doing so, even if a fraction occurs, it can be generated only for the reference type, and the management can be simplified.

In the confirmation display section 7l, an “execute” button 7l1, an “account designation” button 7l2 and a “cancel” button 7l3 can be displayed, and when the different type addition processing is performed, the “account designation” button 7l2 is not performed. For (normal reception), an “execute” button 711 is activated. In FIG. 13, the “account specification” button 712 is activated because the different types are combined, and when the “account specification” button 712 is pressed, a separate display screen for designating any account is displayed. Then, an account selection process in which a screen showing accounts that can be selected by the player is displayed. When the player designates an account by the display, the number of exchangeable balls (1261 balls in the case of FIG. 13) indicating the number of remaining balls obtained by exchanging prizes for the designated account is added to the target account. Processing) is performed. It is also possible to select a reference type when selecting an account.
On the other hand, when the heterogeneous summing process is not performed, the saving process is performed to the account of the type to be exchanged in response to pressing of the “execute” button 711 as in the conventional case. Further, if the “cancel” button 713 is operated before the processing, the state before the storage operation is returned.

When the POS 7 accepts a hold operation for associating a ball with a hold ticket that is a paper receipt to temporarily hold the exchange process (S321: YES), the POS 7 issues a hold ticket that can specify the rest for the exchange type. (S322).
Further, when the end operation is received in the heterogeneous summing state (S303: YES), if the member card is not received (S304: NO, S329: YES), the rest is taken in for the reference type (S331). If a membership card is accepted (S304: YES, S305: YES), the remaining (residual value) is stored (saved) for the reference type (S306). At this time, the fraction that is not an integer is taken in as a reference type (S307). In this way, so-called automatic storage balls are performed in accordance with the end operation, and in the case of different types of combined storage, the storage type processing is performed regardless of whether or not a holding ball or storage ball of that type is accepted for the reference type. In this way, it is configured to be able to select whether the account to be stored is processed as the reference type or the designated selection to be specified separately by the storage operation and the end operation, but in any operation, the reference type and The designated selection may be selectable, or may be selectable by the player. When the membership card is accepted (S304: YES), when the heterogeneous sum flag is 0 (S305: NO), the normal exchange process is performed, and the remaining balls are stored for the exchange type (S332). ). If the membership card has not been accepted (S304: NO), if the heterogeneous sum flag is 0 (S329: NO), the membership card is taken in (S330). When the member card is not received in this way, as is well known, the end operation is received on condition that the remaining is less than the end reference value set separately.
After each process for ending the exchange process, the exchange of the selected prize in the temporary exchange state is confirmed (S308).

After the exchange is completed, the exchange information (management information) indicating the breakdown of the possessed balls and exchanged prizes to be received, and the take-in balls including the decimal point is transmitted to the management device 6, and the management device 6 aggregates the exchange information. Etc. and manage history etc.
FIG. 14 exemplifies exchange information to be transmitted to the management device 6 when the prize exchange is performed after performing the different type of addition shown in FIG. Although omitted in FIG. 14, the ID of the general card 8 can be specified by the exchange information.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be achieved.
When the game device 2 performs a boarding process according to the member authentication process, the boarding process is permitted on condition that the boarding value of the boarding destination does not exceed the upper limit of authentication. When the entry grant process is performed such that the game value that is the target of the game exceeds the entrance value, it is necessary to perform the entrance grant process with the authentication process again. Thereby, even when a boarding process is illegally performed by another person, regular authentication processing is required, so that it is possible to reduce the player from receiving a great deal of damage.

Since the upper limit of authentication is for passengers, it is possible to prevent authentication processing that is virtually meaningless when the converted game value becomes extremely large when the value difference between rates is large. I can do it.
Since the entry process is performed so as not to exceed the replay upper limit value, the entry grant process can be performed in consideration of the authentication upper limit and the replay upper limit value.
Authentication processing is required at the time of storage ball entry processing, but authentication processing is not required at the time of ball entry processing, so it is possible to perform moderate authentication processing with less necessity and at the same time reducing the need for authentication processing. It becomes.

  Set the minimum unit of withdrawal according to the combination of the entry source and the destination, and specify the entrance value of the possession ball entry source so that the withdrawal and withdrawal of coins according to the minimum unit is performed Therefore, even if other types of balls are collected as consideration according to the entry grant process, it is possible to reduce the possibility of generating fractions that do not become integers.

Since the minimum unit at the time of entry grant processing is set to a different value depending on whether the ball is dispensed at the time of entry is the gaming machine 1 or the dispensing nozzle 24, the entry grant processing can be performed appropriately.
Since the minimum payout unit in the configuration of the gaming machine 1 and the payout nozzle 24 is a multiple of the minimum payout unit, and the value for which the value is an integer is set as the minimum payout unit, the minimum payout / payout unit is the gaming machine 1 and The possibility of becoming a payout unit for performing payout processing that is impossible due to the structure of the payout nozzle 24 can be reduced, and when other types of possessed balls and stored balls that are the consideration are collected as an integer, it is collected according to the entry and withdrawal. Even if it exists, the possibility that the fraction which will not become an integer will generate | occur | produce can be reduced.

Since the payout unit corresponding to one payout operation is changed according to the combination of entry, the payout unit and the entry / exit unit are set separately, and the entry / exit unit is the By indicating a multiple of the minimum entry unit at the time of entry, it is possible to collect consideration each time a payout operation acceptance process is performed according to a single payout operation, while reducing the possibility of collecting a fraction that is not an integer. It becomes like this.
Even after the boarding, even if the own-type possession ball occurs, the boarding state is continued and the payout of the own-type possession ball is suppressed, so that the player is allowed to enter the entry process at any rate. It is possible to prevent the user from being confused by not knowing what is being done.

  When performing the entry process excluding the lower limit number of issuances, if there are remaining balls for the issuance lower limit number in the type other than the entry source, enter the entry source without excluding the lower limit number of issue Since the process is performed, the possibility of restricting the entry process more than necessary can be reduced when the issuance condition is satisfied by the type of ball to be entered.

  If the membership card is being accepted when issuing a balance or holding ball split during boarding, the boarding status will be terminated, so other types of holding balls and storage balls associated with the membership card will be considered as consideration. When the corresponding general card 8 is ejected in the state of performing the entry process, the possibility of complicating the process by changing the consideration to another target can be reduced, and the entry process is appropriately performed. Can be performed.

  While it is possible to divide the own type of possession balls while in transit, it is possible to suppress the division of other types of possession balls, so that it is possible to reduce the possibility that a large number of game values will be subjected to the division issue process. In addition, if it is not in the boarding state and other types of holding ball split issue processing is not permitted, other types of holding ball split issuing processing that is not allowed by entering the boarding state is allowed. Can reduce the risk.

Since the boarding state is terminated when a member card is received during boarding, the possibility of complicated processing on the system can be reduced.
If there is a ball, the ball entry process will be performed for the ball and if there is no ball, the game area policy is to limit the number of balls and make it easier for players to use. When the policy is taken, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the storage balls that are difficult to use for the player are subject to the entry and grant processing without darkness, and the system can be easily used by the player.

  When a ball that is not a whole number is generated in the stored ball to the type that is the target of the storage ball at the time of saving ball processing after performing different kinds of summation processing in POS7, the game hall takes in that fraction, so the integer and It is possible to prevent the occurrence of an odd fraction of balls and keep the target of the ball processing at an integer.

When performing savings processing after performing different types of summing processing, it is possible to select whether to specify the account to be saved or to save to the standard type, so the rate according to the player's voluntary The ball can be processed, and when there is no particular request from the player, the ball can be processed to a reference type determined by a game hall or the like. Further, in any case, it is possible to prevent the storage ball processing from being performed according to the rate.
Even if the account to be stored is specified or the base type is used, the fractional part is taken in the base type, so when taking in the fraction that is not an integer, a fraction occurs in the capture process. By limiting the rate to the reference type, the possibility of fractions occurring at all rates can be reduced.

When a ball is received, the type of the ball is used as an exchange type. When a ball with a different type from the exchange type is received in that state, the exchange type is changed to the reference type as a heterogeneous total. As a result, the exchange processes that have been subjected to the heterogeneous summation are gathered into the reference type, making it easy to manage the management information of the exchange processes.
When re-holding to the general card 8, the re-holding ball is selectable from the types that can be added by different types, so that the different types of additions can be limited to processing between rates within the group desired by the game hall. It becomes possible, and the possibility that different types of summation will be performed without darkness can be reduced.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
As shown in FIG. 6, the gaming device 2 manages the entry value and the entry / exit, and when the entry / exit becomes the entry value, the entry state is terminated, so that the entry grant process is performed. In the above example, the entry granting process is permitted on condition that the game value does not exceed the entry value. For example, the entry value is subtracted by entry / exit, and the entry state is obtained when the entry value becomes 0. Any configuration may be adopted such as ending. Moreover, the structure which does not exceed not only exceeding but not exceeding is also included. Similarly, configurations that do not reach the following are included.

Although the input of the personal identification number has been exemplified as the authentication process, any authentication process may be employed as long as it can authenticate the identity, for example, fingerprint authentication or presentation of a recording medium different from the membership card.
An example of a configuration in which an acquisition value that can identify a rate by associating an acquisition value with a recording medium, receiving the recording medium, and associating the own type of the gaming device 2 counted when counting the gaming medium is illustrated However, only one of them may be accepted, or a configuration is adopted in which the acquired value is associated with identification information other than a recording medium such as a fingerprint and the acquired value is received by receiving the identification information. You may do it.

Although one business day is illustrated as the predetermined period corresponding to the grant allowable value (replay upper limit) or the like, any period such as one week, one month, or morning may be employed.
Although the state switching condition is exemplified as a state switching condition by a player, there is no own type of possession ball and there are other types of possession balls that can be entered without any player operation. Any condition may be adopted as long as the condition such as the state switching condition is an appropriate condition, for example, the condition that is satisfied is the state switching condition.

Although the example of performing the entry grant process by switching the grant means for performing the usual grant process to the boarding state is illustrated, the grant means for performing the normal grant process and the grant means for performing the entrance grant process It is also possible to provide them separately so that the boarding process is performed regardless of the boarding state.
If the set values exemplified are set in advance, the setting information can be set from an external (for example, chain store headquarters) management server, whether it is set arbitrarily by the game hall manager, or set by the manufacturer of the management device 6 May be downloaded and set.

Although a card is exemplified as the recording medium, other recording media such as coins may be used as long as information capable of specifying a valuable value can be recorded.
The gaming device 2 is exemplified by a gaming device having a so-called lending machine function for money accepting processing and value giving processing (lending processing) using the money. It is not necessary to have this function.
All illustrated game information may be specified directly by an input signal or indirectly by using an arithmetic expression. In addition, numerical values, the number of digits, items, and the like are examples, and any numerical values may be adopted.

As a target gaming machine, a pachinko gaming machine or a slot machine other than the illustrated pachinko gaming machine such as a so-called enclosed type that manages gaming media only by data can be adopted. Note that the game medium is expressed as a game value as necessary in consideration of a so-called enclosing type. In addition, in the case of an encapsulated type or the like, a state in which a valuable value can be consumed for a game is a value providing process for providing a game value usable for the game.
The illustrated processing may be performed not only by the gaming device 2 but also by any device such as the relay device 4 or the management device 6. Further, the illustrated configurations including the modified examples may be combined in any manner and may not be appropriately adopted, and may be configured to switch between valid and invalid depending on settings.

  In the drawing, 1 is a gaming machine (second value giving means), 2 is a gaming device (value receiving means, value giving means, boarding processing means, authentication means, setting means, boarding value specifying means, permission means), 6 Is a management device (setting means), and 7 is a POS (setting means).
