It is a figure which shows the other example which accumulated and displayed performance data on the layout figure of the game machine in a game arcade.

  A preferred embodiment of a gaming apparatus according to the present invention and a gaming system including the gaming apparatus will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the gaming system 1 according to the present embodiment includes a gaming machine 10 such as a pachinko machine 10a and a slot machine 10b, and a plurality of gaming devices.

As a gaming apparatus, for example, a pedestal machine 20 (20a is for gaming balls, 20b is for medals), a pedestal computer 30, and an island computer that lend gaming media such as gaming balls or medals in exchange for the insertion of cash (banknotes). 40, a counter 50 for counting game balls or medals (50a to 50c are for game balls and 50d to 50f are for medals), a hall computer 60 for counting game data for each game machine 10, and exchange of game media and prizes A prize exchange device 70 for processing is provided.
Each of these gaming devices includes communication means and is connected to be able to perform data communication via a predetermined network (for example, a local area network).

Here, the game hall to which the gaming system 1 is applied will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the game machine 10 includes a game machine 10 for each type of game machine such as a pachinko machine and a slot machine, for each model showing the model name of the game machine, It is divided into various groups such as game balls that are lent out in exchange for cash input or lending rates that indicate lending fees per medal.

For example, a pachinko machine 10a is installed in the a to c corners, and a slot machine 10b is installed in the df corners.
In addition, pachinko machines 10a with model names “aaa” to “ccc” are installed in the a to c corners, and slot machines 10b with model names “ddd” to “fff” are installed in the df corners, respectively. Has been. In addition, a variety corner where a plurality of model machines (for example, “ggg” to “nnn”) are mixed is provided in one corner (not shown).
Further, the a to c corners are set so that the lending rate per game ball is different, and the df corners are set so that the lending rate per medal is different.

  In such a game hall, the gaming system 1 is a gaming data collection system that collects gaming data for each gaming machine 10 based on gaming signals output from the gaming machine 10, the machine 20, the counter 50, and the like. It is configured as.

Specifically, a gaming signal as shown in FIG. 2 is output from the gaming machine 10, the inter-machine 20 and the counter 50.
For example, the gaming machine 10 has an out signal indicating the number of game media inserted, a safe signal indicating the number of game media payouts, a jackpot signal indicating a specific gaming state such as a jackpot / bonus, a pattern such as a probability variation state or a special symbol. A probability change / time reduction signal indicating a shortened state of the variation time, a special symbol, a start signal indicating the number of variations of each reel game, and the like are output.
The inter-vehicle machine 20 outputs a sales signal indicating the amount of cash or the like input, gaming machine information that can identify the gaming machine attached to the machine, and the like.
The counter 50 outputs a count signal indicating the counted number of game media, game machine information that can specify a game machine acquisition destination game device related to the count, and the like.
Such game signals are transmitted to the hall computer 60 via the computer 30 and the island computer 40 via the network.
The game signal is subjected to predetermined data processing (for example, digitization processing) in at least one of the base computer 30, the island computer 40, and the hall computer 60, and sequentially stored as game data for each gaming machine 10 in the hall computer 60. Is done.

  The hall computer 60 operates as an example of a gaming device. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, an input unit 61 composed of input means such as a keyboard and a mouse, a stand computer 30, an island computer 40, a prize exchange device 70, and the like A communication unit 62 that performs data communication with the storage unit, a storage unit 63 that includes a storage unit such as a hard disk, a display unit 64 that includes a display unit such as a liquid crystal display device, a control unit 65 (computer) that controls the above-described units, and the like. It is configured as an information processing device operated by a game hall administrator, a store clerk, or the like.

Game data for each gaming machine 10 is stored in the storage unit 63.
The game data is obtained from the input number data obtained from the input number of the out signal, the payout number data obtained from the input number of the safe signal, the difference number data indicating the difference between the input number and the payout number, and the input number of the jackpot signal. Big hit count data, sales amount data obtained from the number of sales signal inputs, probability variation / short time count data obtained from the number of probability variation / short time signal inputs, start number data obtained from the number of start signal inputs, count signal input count Exchanged number of balls data obtained from the above, prize money data obtained by multiplying the number of exchanged balls by a prize exchange rate per ball, and gross profit data indicating operating profit obtained by subtracting premium data from sales amount data. Game data is stored in the storage unit 63 for each gaming machine 10 and for each business day (for example, in units of one day).
Since the number-of-insertion data obtained from the number of inputs of the out signal is also a value indicating the operation of the gaming machine, in the following description, the number-of-insertion data is referred to as operation data.

The game data is stored not only for each gaming machine 10 but also as an average value converted for each gaming machine for each group such as each machine, each model, and each rental rate.
Further, the game data is stored not only for every business day but also as an average value converted per business day for each different unit of the business period such as multiple business days (for example, one week, half month, one month). Yes.

Such game data can be displayed on the display unit 64.
For example, the game data of each gaming machine 10 is displayed in a list form for each business day or for a plurality of business days such as one week, half month, and one month (in this case, the game data is an average value converted per business day). Can also be displayed.
In addition, the game data of each group (the game data in this case is an average value converted per gaming machine) every business day, or multiple business days such as one week, half a month, one month (game data in this case) Can be displayed in the form of a list for each).
Furthermore, the control unit 65 operates the display unit 64 as the performance data display means, thereby obtaining the performance data indicating the operation data related to the operation of the gaming machine 10 and the gross profit data related to the sales, as shown below. The coordinate data on the graph is displayed every predetermined business period (one business day, multiple business days).

FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a graph displayed on the display unit 64.
The graph is a graph of an orthogonal coordinate system having a vertical axis and a horizontal axis that define the values of operating data and gross profit data, and has a plurality of data display areas A to D divided according to the values of each data. doing.
Further, the data display areas A to D are divided into 1 to 4 areas, respectively, according to the values of the operation data and the gross profit data. For example, the horizontal axis (gross profit) can be divided every "2000 yen", and the vertical axis (operation) can be divided every "10000 balls (sheets)".
In addition, the data display area D has a smaller value for both operating data and gross profit data compared to the data display area A, a value for at least operating data compared to the data display area B, and at least compared to the data display area C. The value of gross profit data is a small area.
The data display area D can be divided into 1 to 3 areas (first area) and 4 areas (second area). In this case, the first to third areas (first area) are arranged at positions closer to the data display areas A to C than the fourth area (second area).
Actual data for each group of gaming machines 10 and models is plotted on a graph having such an orthogonal coordinate system.

FIG. 5 is an example in which the performance data of all models installed in the amusement hall is plotted for each model.
The actual data of each model is represented by “●” or “O”, and the actual data plotted for each model is the operating data and gross profit over a plurality of business days (for example, July 1 to July 15, 2015). Each of the data is an average value converted per gaming machine and per business day.
From such a graph, it can be evaluated as follows whether each model contributes to amusement hall management or does not contribute.

For example, a model (for example, “fff”, “kkk”, “ddd”) in which the performance data is plotted in the data display area A has both operation and gross profit data larger than the model plotted in the data display area D. These values indicate that the value is larger than the model plotted in the data display area B, and at least the gross profit data is larger than the model plotted in the data display area C. Overall, it can be evaluated as a model that contributes to amusement park management.
On the other hand, the model (for example, “bbb”, “ccc”, “eeee”) in which the performance data is plotted in the data display area D has both the operation and the gross profit data smaller than the model plotted in the data display area A. These values indicate that the operation data is at least smaller than the model plotted in the data display area B, and the gross profit data is at least smaller than the model plotted in the data display area C. Considering the above, it can be evaluated as a model that does not contribute to amusement park management.
In particular, a model (for example, “ccc”) in which the performance data is plotted in the four areas of the data display area D can be evaluated as a model to be removed from the amusement hall.
In addition, the model (for example, “mmm”, “jjj”, “nnn”) in which the performance data is plotted in the data display area B indicates that the gross profit data is smaller than the model plotted in the area A. It can be evaluated as a model that requires a device for increasing the gross profit (for example, lowering the payout rate).
Moreover, since the model (for example, “aaa”, “ggg”, “hhh”) in which the performance data is plotted in the data display area C indicates that the operation data is smaller than the model plotted in the area A, It can be evaluated as a model that requires a device to improve operation (for example, increase the rate of appearance).

FIG. 6 is an example in which performance data for a certain model (“aaa”) from July 1, 2015 to July 10, 2015 is plotted every business day.
The actual data is represented by “●” or “◯”, and the plotted actual data indicates the values (total) of the operating data and the gross profit data for each business day.
With such a graph, the transition of performance data over a plurality of business days is represented. Moreover, in order to clarify the context of the transition, it is preferable to display a line connecting the performance data before and after the business period (business days in this example).
As shown in FIG. 6, the line is preferably an “arrow line” that can identify the context of the business period. In addition, the line does not necessarily have to connect the past and subsequent record data, and the line and the record data may be separated if the context can be identified. Moreover, it is preferable to display the business period (7/1, 7/2, etc.) corresponding to each performance data in the vicinity of the performance data.

  In addition, future trends of the model can be predicted from the transition of the actual data. The prediction can be performed based on the experience of the game hall manager, but the transition data based on the past transition pattern can be displayed on the display unit 64 and predicted while referring to this.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the storage unit 63 shows operation data and gross profit data of past models (game machines) and sample models (game machines), and changes in a plurality of performance data with different business periods. A plurality of pieces of transition data (a) to (d) are stored, and the control unit 65 can compare these (a) to (d) with the actual data (FIG. 6) of the model (“aaa”). Can also be displayed on the display unit 64.

The past model or sample model displayed here is preferably transition data of a model (game machine) showing an extreme transition such as a popular model (game machine) or an unpopular model (game machine). The past model data can include past performance data of the model (“aaa”). In addition, although the business periods are different, it is preferable that the target business periods such as one business day unit or multiple business day units are the same.
In addition, when displaying for comparison, it is preferable to display FIGS. 6 and 7 at the same time, but other display modes such as switching display may be used.
By displaying the performance data and transition data of the model (“aaa”) in this way so that they can be compared, the game hall manager finds past or sample transition data similar to the model (“aaa”). The future trend of the model (“aaa”) can be predicted from the trend of the past or sample model corresponding to the transition data.

The transition data displayed so that it can be compared with the actual data (FIG. 6) of the model (“aaa”) is approximate to the actual data of the model (“aaa”) from the transition data (a) to (d). It can be extracted as transition data.
Specifically, when the control unit 65 operates as an automatic extraction unit, transition data that approximates the transition of the actual data (FIG. 6) of the model (“aaa”) is included in the transition data (a) to (d). Can also be extracted from.
For example, transition data indicating a transition trend approximated from a business day (July 1) as a starting point to a predetermined number of days (for example, 3 days: July 3) in the actual data (FIG. 6) of the model (“aaa”) Can be extracted from the transition data (a) to (d) and displayed on the display unit 64.

In addition, the hall computer 60 operates the control unit 65 as an example of a comparison unit, thereby determining the magnitude of the data change from the actual data in the previous business period before and after the business period to the actual data in the subsequent business period. Compared with a predetermined threshold, when the magnitude of data change exceeds the predetermined threshold, the actual data in the subsequent business period on the graphs shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 is different from the normal mode “●”. It is displayed in a predetermined mode “◯”.
The magnitude of change in the data compared to the threshold is 3 of the magnitude of the change in only the operating data, the magnitude of the change in only the gross profit data, and the magnitude of the change in consideration of both the operating data and the gross profit data. When at least one of these is compared with a predetermined threshold, and the magnitude of data change exceeds the predetermined threshold, the actual data in the subsequent business period is changed to the normal mode “●”. Different predetermined modes “◯” can be displayed.
In particular, since the operating data is important data that is directly related to the change in gross profit, the magnitude of the change of only the operating data is compared with a predetermined threshold, and the magnitude of the change in the data exceeds the predetermined threshold. When exceeded, it is preferable to display the actual data in the subsequent business period in a predetermined mode “◯” different from the normal mode “●”.

Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 5, when the subsequent business period is July 1 to July 15, 2015 and the previous business period is June 15 to June 30, 2015. The control unit 65 obtains, for each model, the magnitude of data change from the actual data in the previous business period to the actual data in the subsequent business period.
In the example illustrated in FIG. 6, the control unit 65 obtains, for each business day, the magnitude of the data change from the actual data on the previous business day to the actual data on the subsequent business day in each successive business day.

The magnitude of the data change is, for example, the distance between the operating data of the preceding and succeeding business periods (for example, the operating axis shown in FIG. 6) when the required data change magnitude is the operating data change magnitude. (Distance between points along (Y axis)).
Further, when the magnitude of the change in the data to be obtained is the magnitude of the change in the gross profit data, the distance between the gross profit data in the preceding and subsequent business periods (for example, the gross profit axis (X axis) shown in FIG. (Distance between points along).
In addition, in the case where the magnitude of change in the requested data is the magnitude of change in consideration of both the operation data and the gross profit data, the distance between the actual data before and after the previous business period (for example, between the points shown in FIG. The distance D) can be obtained by calculating the difference data for each of the preceding and following business periods for each operation and gross profit data, and further squaring each difference data and calculating the sum thereof, and calculating the parallel root of this sum Can be obtained by calculating.

The magnitude of the data change thus calculated is compared with a threshold value.
Specifically, when the comparison target is the magnitude of the change in the operation data, the threshold is set to, for example, 3000 (balls / sheets), and it is determined whether or not the magnitude of the change in the calculated data exceeds this threshold. The
The threshold value can be different depending on the group unit such as the unit of the previous and next business period (day, week, etc.), gaming machine, machine, model, etc. It may be settable.
Then, when the magnitude of the data change exceeds the threshold, the control unit 65 displays the actual data in the subsequent business period displayed on the graphs shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 as the normal mode “●”. Differently, it is displayed in a predetermined form that can identify that it has exceeded, for example, “◯”.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, the performance data of the model “bbb” is displayed as “◯”, and in the example shown in FIG. 6, the performance data of July 10 is displayed as “◯”.
As a result, in the example shown in FIG. 5, the actual data (for the subsequent business period) of the model “bbb” exceeds the threshold value from the actual data for the previous business period (June 15 to June 30, 2015). It is possible to identify a large change.
Similarly, in the example illustrated in FIG. 6, it can be identified that the actual data on July 10 has significantly changed from the actual data for the previous business period (July 9) beyond the threshold.

In the above example, the display mode is changed according to the magnitude of the data change. However, it is preferable to change the display mode according to the direction of the data change.
For example, the change in data in the direction from the data display area D to A (for example, in the direction of 0 to 90 degrees in the Cartesian coordinate system) indicates that both operation data and gross profit data are good for amusement hall management. Since the actual result (improvement of the actual result) is shown, in such a case, it is possible to display with “◎” different from the normal mode “●”.
On the other hand, a change in data in a direction from the data display area A to D (for example, a direction in the range of 180 to 270 degrees in the Cartesian coordinate system) is unfavorable for both the operation data and the gross profit data for game hall management. Since an actual result (deterioration of the actual result) is shown, in such a case, it is possible to display with “O” or “X” different from the normal mode “●”.

In addition, when the plot destination of the actual data in the subsequent business period is 1 to 3 (first area) of the data display area D, the actual data may be displayed in a predetermined mode different from the normal mode. preferable.
In particular, the plot destination of the actual data in the previous business period is the data display areas A to C, and the plot destination of the actual data in the subsequent business period is 1 in the data display area D as shown in FIGS. It is preferable to display in a predetermined mode “◯” that is different from the normal mode “●” when it becomes ˜3 regions (first region).
This is because the gaming machines and models whose plot destinations are 1 to 3 areas (first area) of the data display area D are reserved for the removal target machine plotted in 4 areas (second area) of the data display area D Because it can be regarded as a group, it is intended to alert the game hall manager as a gaming machine or model to be watched.

The characteristic operation as the comparison means of the control unit 65 as described above is stored in the storage unit 63 and executed based on the result data display process related to the program executable by the control unit 65.
Hereinafter, the results data display process will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.
In this process, first, the control unit 65 acquires the actual data in the previous business period and the actual data in the subsequent business period from the storage unit 63 (S1, S2).
Subsequently, a change amount that is the magnitude of the change in data from the actual data on the previous business day to the actual data on the subsequent business day is calculated for each business day preceding and following (S3).
Next, the amount of change is compared with a threshold value (S4).
And as a result of the comparison, when it is determined that the amount of change is equal to or less than the threshold (S4-No), based on this determination, actual data in the subsequent business period is displayed in the normal mode “●” (S6), Thereafter, the process ends.
On the other hand, when it is determined that the amount of change exceeds the threshold (S4-Yes), based on this determination, the actual data in the subsequent business period is displayed in a different form “O” (S5), and then the processing Exit.

Further, as another modified example of the graph shown in FIG. 4, another graph shown in FIG. 9A will be described.
This graph is different from the graph shown in FIG. 4 in that the data defining the vertical axis and the horizontal axis are interchanged, and the areas 1 to 4 of the data display areas A to D are different in color, pattern, shading, etc. It is occupied by a unique pattern.
Further, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), the display unit 64 can display a layout diagram showing the installation layout of each gaming machine 10 in the game hall together with the graph shown in FIG. 9 (a). In this layout diagram, as described above, pachinko machines 10a having model names “aaa” to “ccc” are installed in corners a to c, respectively, and slots having model names “ddd” to “fff” are respectively installed in corners df. An example in which the machine 10b is installed is shown, and an example in which a total of six models are installed for each corner is shown.
Further, the control unit 65 determines whether the performance data calculated for each gaming machine 10 stored in the storage unit 63 is plotted in any one of the four to four regions in the data display regions A to D. At the same time, the unique pattern corresponding to the determined plot destination is determined by referring to FIG. 9A. In the layout diagram shown in FIG. 9B, the unique pattern is assigned to each corresponding individual gaming machine 10. Display.
With such a display, the performance data for each gaming machine 10 can be confirmed at a glance on the layout diagram.

  Further, in the layout diagram shown in FIG. 9B, when each gaming machine 10 is selected by an input means such as a mouse, an area on the graph corresponding to the performance data of the gaming machine 10 is displayed in an identifiable manner. You can also.

For example, FIG. 10 is an example in which performance data (unique pattern) having a different business period from the example shown in FIG. 9B is superimposed on the layout diagram, and any one of the a to f corners is displayed. FIG.
The example shown in FIG. 10A is a display example when the “3rd” gaming machine 10 is selected. In the graph, an area having a unique pattern corresponding to the performance data of the “3rd” gaming machine 10 is shown. And four areas of area B are displayed among 1-4 areas in data display areas AD.
In the layout diagram, gaming machines 10 having the same unique pattern and belonging to the same group (same model name) (1st to 8th units) are displayed surrounded by a bold line.

Similarly, the example shown in FIG. 10B is a display example when the “10th” gaming machine 10 is selected. In the graph, the unique pattern corresponding to the performance data of the “10th” gaming machine 10 is shown. One of the areas A to D in the data display areas A to D is displayed.
Also, in the layout diagram, gaming machines 10 having the same unique pattern and belonging to the same group (same model name) (9th to 12th cars) are displayed surrounded by a bold line.
Thereby, while being able to identify easily the area | region on the graph corresponding to the performance data of the selected game machine 10, the other game machine 10 of the same performance data can be identified.
In the above case, it is also possible to remove the frame of the group (for example, model name) and surround all the gaming machines 10 having the same unique pattern with bold lines.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing another example in which performance data (unique pattern) is displayed superimposed on the layout diagram of gaming machines in the game hall.
In this figure, each of the corners a to e is treated as one model group, the actual data (average value) is calculated for each corner (model), and the unique pattern corresponding to each calculated actual data is represented. ing. The unique pattern shown in each corner corresponds to the averaged result data for each corner (model).
Thereby, the performance data for each corner can be confirmed at a glance on the layout diagram.
Also, in this figure, the f corner is a so-called variety corner in which a plurality of gaming machines 10 having different model names are installed, unlike the example shown in FIG. 9B. A unique pattern corresponding to the performance data of each gaming machine 10 is represented.

In FIG. 11, similarly to FIG. 10, when each gaming machine 10 is selected by an input means such as a mouse, gaming machines belonging to the same group are displayed surrounded by a bold line. For example, when one gaming machine 10 installed in the a corner is selected, all gaming machines installed in the a corner are displayed surrounded by a thick line. Further, at this time, in the graph, as in FIG. 10, an area having a unique pattern corresponding to the result data of one gaming machine 10, that is, all the gaming machines 10 installed in the a corner, is displayed in the data display area A. One of the areas 1 to 4 in -D (for example, three areas of area A) is displayed.
In this figure, each corner of a to e is treated as one group, but two or more corners are treated as one group (for example, by machine type), and one corner is divided into a plurality of groups ( Variations can also be provided for grouping without handling one corner as one group, such as by model name).

  As described above, according to the gaming device of the present invention, it is easily identified that the actual data in the subsequent business period has greatly changed from the actual data in the previous business period, exceeding the threshold, and is to be removed. Since a gaming machine regarded as a reserve army is alerted, it is possible to quickly evaluate the gaming machine in the game hall management.

On the other hand, in the conventional gaming device, although the performance data of each business period is plotted, the display mode of the performance data does not change depending on the magnitude of the data change, so that the game machine cannot be evaluated quickly.
According to the gaming apparatus of the present embodiment, all or part of such problems that the conventional gaming apparatus should improve can be solved.

  The preferred embodiment of the gaming device of the present invention has been described above, but the gaming device according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention. Needless to say.

For example, in the present embodiment, the input number (out number) data is used as the operation data related to the operation of the gaming machine, but instead of this, the number of payout (safe) data, the difference number data, the big hit number data, the probability variation / time reduction Data that increases with the progress of the game, such as number-of-times data, number-of-starts data, and number-of-games data indicating the number of players seated on the gaming machine, can also be used as operation data.
Further, although gross profit data is used as sales data related to sales, instead of this, data related to sales such as sales amount data, exchanged ball number data, premium amount data, and net profit data can also be used as sales data.

Further, in the present embodiment, the graph for each model (FIG. 5) and each gaming machine (FIG. 6) is exemplified, but the machine, the rental rate, the installation position (for example, corner), the gaming machine manufacturer, and the game hall management It is also possible to display a graph for each other group, such as for each group arbitrarily set by the user.
In addition, the plot mark of actual data on the graph is not limited to “●” or “◯”, but the size, color, shape, etc. of the plot mark can be changed for each of the data display areas A to D and 1 to 4 areas. You can also.

In this embodiment, the data display area is four areas A to D, but may be four or more or four or less.
Each of the data display areas A to D has 1 to 4 areas, but the data display area A is divided into two areas such as 2 areas and the data display area D is 16 areas. You can also change the number.

Further, in the present embodiment, when the plot destination of the actual data in the subsequent business period is changed from the data display areas A to C to the first to third areas (first area) of the data display area D, that is, the actual results deteriorate. In addition to this, “○” is displayed, but in addition to this, the plot destination of the actual data in the subsequent business period is from the data display area D to the data display areas A to C, or from the data display areas B and C. When the data display area A is changed, that is, when the performance is improved, “◎” can be displayed.
Further, in the above case, the threshold for comparing the magnitude of data change can be changed between improvement and deterioration.
It is also possible to provide a plurality of threshold values in stages, and to change the plot mark displayed when the threshold value is exceeded for each of the plurality of threshold values. For example, when the data to be compared is operating data, stepwise thresholds such as 1000 (balls / sheets), 2000 (balls / sheets), 3000 (balls / sheets) are set, and each threshold is exceeded. It is also possible to change the plot marks at the time to “x”, “Δ”, “◯”, etc., respectively.
Moreover, the display mode of the plot mark displayed when the threshold value is exceeded can be changed according to the business period. For example, “X” may be set for 1 week to less than 5 weeks, “Δ” for less than 5 weeks, and “◯” for 10 weeks or more.

FIG. 6 is an example in which performance data of a certain model (“aaa”) over a period from July 1, 2015 to July 10, 2015 is plotted every business day, but the period is arbitrarily set. The business days can be arbitrarily selected from a unit of one day to a unit of a plurality of business days.
The transition data (a) to (d) shown in FIG. 7 are preferably past models (game machines) or sample models (game machines), but store transition data appropriately selected by the game hall manager. You can also.

  Although the present invention is applied to the hall computer 60, the table machine 20, the table computer 30, the island computer 40, the counter 50, the gift exchange 70, the call lamp that can display the store clerk and game data, and the game information display device It can also be applied to other gaming devices such as.
