Description

  The present invention relates to a management system for a game arcade that can specify a game value using a general recording medium, a member recording medium, and a portable terminal device owned by a player.

  Conventionally, as described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example, the game value acquired by the player is stored and managed as a so-called storage ball using ID information given to the portable terminal device owned by the player. The system has been put into practical use.

JP 2011-120629 A JP 2011-194077 A

  In such a system, the ID of the mobile terminal device is associated with the ID of the member card in advance, so that the user can use the mobile terminal device instead of the member card to store money, and each member card is possessed. Since it is not necessary, convenience on the player side is improved. However, the portable terminal device is not attached to the gaming device like a card, but only reads the ID information of the portable terminal device temporarily without contact each time. When reusing the game value (money ball / storing ball) read out based on the game, no record medium for game value recording is attached to the game device and is not recorded on the record medium. There was a problem that would be in a state.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to appropriately process a game value when a mobile terminal device is used in a system that can use the mobile terminal device instead of a member recording medium. An object of the present invention is to provide a management system for a playground that can be used.

The present invention is a terminal device installed at a position corresponding to each gaming machine, capable of storing and managing gaming values used in the gaming machine, and collecting game value information stored and managed by each terminal device. In a management system for game halls equipped with a central management device for centralized management,
The terminal device receives money and stores a balance amount storage means for storing the balance amount, a game value giving means for giving a player a game value usable for a game within the range of the balance amount, and a game A game value specifying means for specifying the magnitude of the game value acquired by the player through the game on the machine and a general recording medium capable of recording the magnitude of the game value specified by the game value specifying means are stored. General recording medium storage means, and a general recording medium processing means for recording the magnitude of the game value specified by the game value specifying means in association with the general ID of the general recording medium and issuing the general recording medium And the game value specified by the game value specifying means is stored in association with the member ID of the member recording medium attached by the player, and the member recording medium is returned to the player. The magnitude of the game value specified by the recording medium processing means and the game value specifying means is read from the portable ID of the portable terminal device owned by the player, and is associated with the member ID previously associated with the portable ID. Portable terminal processing means for storing, and game value re-gaming means for reading out the game value stored in association with the general ID and the member ID so that the game value can be used again in the game, When the gaming value re-gaming means reads the portable ID of the portable terminal device, the gaming value re-playing means reads the gaming value stored in association with the member ID associated with the portable ID, and uses the read gaming value as the gaming value. The member recording medium is configured to be recorded in association with the general recording medium stored in the general recording medium storing means and to be used again in the game. When the member recording medium is inserted in a state where the general recording medium is inserted, the management means determines the magnitude of the game value recorded in association with the general ID of the general recording medium. It is configured to be able to collect and store the game value recorded in association with the member ID of the recording medium and to collect the general recording medium (claim 1).

The game hall management system according to claim 1,
When the game value is used again in the game, the game value is provided with a password input means for the player to input password information registered in advance, the game value re-playing means reads the portable ID of the portable terminal device, Further, when the password information is input by the password input means, each time the portable ID is read once, it may be used again for a predetermined amount of games (claim 2).

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the mobile ID of the mobile terminal device is read to read the game value of the member, the game value is associated with the general recording medium again and can be used for replaying. Therefore, the player can use all of the game value for replaying by using the portable terminal device owned by the player once and reading the portable ID. Therefore, it is not necessary to always use the portable terminal device that is owned, which is very convenient. Moreover, by adding the game value recorded on the general recording medium to the member recording medium, the player does not need to possess the general recording medium and the member recording medium, and possesses and manages only the member recording medium. It will be convenient because it will do.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the password information is input at the time of replaying, the game value is incremented by a predetermined number every time the portable ID is read without being associated with the general recording medium and directly associated with the member ID. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the gaming value from being stolen by another person after leaving the seat by specifying the member based on the personal identification information and making the mobile ID read every time as a necessary condition.

Note that the upper limit of so-called holding balls is four each, and when starting and winning a prize during holding, the upper limit is held, and after the symbol change ends, the held symbol variation is executed sequentially.

  (2) The winning probability (probability of jackpot) of the jackpot lottery is 1/300, and the ratio of the jackpot that becomes a probability change state (probability change) after the jackpot is 66.6% (2/3). When a big win occurs, the big winning opening 23 is opened by the amount corresponding to the corresponding number of rounds (R). The 1R upper limit winning number (upper limit number) is 8, and the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds. When either the upper limit number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied, 1R is ended.

(3) The number of rounds corresponding to the jackpot is 5R and 16R, and the distribution ratio is 25% for 5R and 75% for 16R.
(4) The jackpot probability is improved to 1/30 during probability change. Since the probability change continues until the next jackpot, it continues until a jackpot (ordinary jackpot) that becomes a normal state (normal) after the jackpot occurs, and returns to the normal state when a normal jackpot occurs.

The gaming machine 1 and peripheral devices attached to the gaming machine 1 output the gaming signals shown below as the game progresses such as the ball being thrown by the player and the starting prize to the starting port 22.

Since one pulse is output for 10 payout balls, the number of safe signals × 10 is specified as safe. A replenishment signal output from a replenishing device (not shown) may be used as a safe signal. The safe specified by the safe signal corresponds to the amount of game value given by winning.

  Start winning signal: a signal that can specify a winning (start winning) to the starting port 22 output from the gaming machine 1. Since one pulse is output for each winning prize to the starting opening 22, the starting prize is specified in response to reception of the starting prize signal.

  Symbol change signal (start signal): A signal that can specify a symbol change (actual action) that starts changing (actuation) by a start winning to the start port 22 output from the gaming machine 1. Since it is output when the symbol variation is confirmed (at the end), the symbol variation (start) is specified in response to the reception of the symbol variation signal. It may be a signal output at the start of symbol variation.

  -Jackpot signal: A signal that can be output from the gaming machine 1 and that can specify a period of a jackpot state. Since the level is output during the jackpot state, reception of the jackpot signal is specified as being in the jackpot state.

  Probability variation signal: A signal that can specify a period in which a probability of winning a jackpot that is output from the gaming machine 1 is in a probability variation state with a high probability of winning. Since the level is output during the probability variation state, reception of the probability variation signal is specified as the probability variation state.

Further, when the player wishes to pay out a replay, the above-described operation is repeated. In this case, it is not necessary to input a password after the second replay, and the player is provided with convenience.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be produced.
In the counting lending unit 2, when the Felica mobile 12 reads out the current day's stored ball (mochidama) and uses it for replaying, it records the read held ball on the general card 10 built in the counting lending unit 2, and thereafter Since the game using the general card 10 is used, the player can use the Felica mobile phone 12 that he / she uses only once to read the mobile ID so that the player can use all of the savings for the day. . Therefore, it is not necessary to always use the owned Felica mobile phone 12, and it is very convenient. In addition, when the member card 11 is inserted with the general card 10 inserted, the number of possessions recorded on the general card 10 is added to the number of stored balls on the day of the member's savings account. It is not necessary to have the general card 10 and the membership card 11, and it is convenient because only the membership card 11 needs to be owned and managed.

  If you enter your PIN when replaying with the savings card the previous day using the Felica mobile phone 12, it will be re-established a predetermined number of times each time you read your mobile ID in the state of associating it with the member ID without associating it with the general card 10. Since the play balls are paid out, it is possible to prevent the game value from being stolen by another person after leaving the seat by specifying the member based on the personal identification information and making the mobile ID read every time.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
Although the number of possessed balls is recorded on the general card 10, only the card ID (identification information) for identifying the general card 10 is recorded, and the management device 5 stores the possession stored on the basis of the card ID. The number of balls may be specified. According to such a configuration, even if the general card 10 is lost, the game value can be specified and the prize exchange process can be reliably performed, and the game value recorded on the general card 10 can be prevented from being falsified. .

The IC card is exemplified as the general recording medium and the member recording medium, but the form of the recording medium is not limited to this. For example, a coin-shaped or stick-shaped recording medium may be used.
Only the identification information is recorded on the member card 11 and the number of possessed balls (the number of accumulated balls on the day) / the number of accumulated balls is not recorded. However, the number of retained balls / the number of accumulated balls is also recorded on the member card 11 and The prizes may be exchanged after checking the number of possessed balls / stored balls.

  A fee is collected when paying out the savings the day before, but it does not have to be collected. In the case where a fee is not collected, an upper limit (for example, up to 2000 balls per day) may be provided for the number of payouts of the previous day's stored balls.

  The gaming machine may be an enclosed gaming machine that does not pay out gaming media and performs addition storage as electronic data, and is not limited to a pachinko gaming machine, and may be a slot machine, for example.
