Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make it possible to properly confirm a state of a game machine in a special state, even if in a case where a small win is generated during the special state by a so called small win rush.SOLUTION: According to a first pattern, excluded safe where safe balls for a start winning amount during a special state are excluded is handled as a management target. In this way, particularly targeting game machines where a whole of during sweet (time shortening and rush) is handled as the rush, in addition to a conventional total ratio and a put-out rate by a start safe, a put-out rate for the rush amount becomes possible to be grasped.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5

Description

  The present invention relates to a game system.

  Conventionally, in a gaming system, in order to check the state of a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine, game information such as a payout rate is managed in association with the gaming state. For example, in Patent Document 1, a normal state and a sweet state are managed. The payout rate is managed as a “base” by classifying by mode (so-called time reduction, hereinafter referred to as time reduction), and presented as an index for checking the state of the gaming machine.

  Here, there is also a gaming state called a probabilistic state in which the jackpot probability is improved, but this may also be managed as a sweet mode if the time is short, and as a normal state if it is not accompanied, these are special state signals output from the gaming machine side Was classified based on whether or not it was accompanied by a short time and output.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 09-168657

  In recent years, gaming machines having a gameability different from the conventional ones are appearing. That is, a gaming machine that is capable of generating a small hit rush state in which a so-called small hit is frequently generated as a gaming state to allow a player to win a ball is emerging.

  In this small hit rush state, it is necessary to consider the winning status for the small hits compared to the conventional, so it is difficult to manage the play etc. in the sweet mode, and it is difficult to check the state of the gaming machine There is a risk of becoming.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to check the state of an appropriate gaming machine in a special state even when a small hit occurs during a special state due to a so-called small hit rush. The object is to provide a game system.

  According to the invention of claim 1, by managing the special exclusion information, it is possible to facilitate the confirmation of the game value assignment status in the small hit (specific state), and it is possible to confirm the state of the gaming machine more appropriately in the special state. Become.

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 are installed in the game hall, and a gaming device 2 and an information display device 3 are installed corresponding to each gaming machine 1. The gaming machine 1, gaming device 2 and information display device 3 are connected to a management device 6 (game information specifying means, exclusion information specifying means, management means) via a relay device 4 (input means) and a LAN 5. The management device 6 inputs game signals output from the gaming machine side (the gaming machine 1, the gaming device 2, etc.) and manages gaming data for each gaming machine 1, personal data for each registered member, and the like. A POS and a balance adjusting machine (both not shown) are also installed in the game hall, and these POS and balance adjusting machines are also connected to the management device 6 via the LAN 5. Although not shown in FIG. 1, for example, several hundred gaming machines 1 are actually managed by the management device 6.

  The management device 6 is installed in, for example, an office room in the game hall, and is connected to a keyboard 7, a monitor 8, a printer (not shown), etc. operated by the game hall manager. The management device 6 manages and manages the game information for each gaming machine 1 by identifying the operating state of the gaming machine 1 or the gaming device 2 based on the gaming signal input from the gaming machine 1 or the gaming device 2 or the like. Display and print output for the user.

  The gaming machine 1 is a CR (card reader) pachinko machine, and has an operation handle 10, an upper tray 11 and a lower tray 12 that constitute a launching device that launches a ball onto the board surface 9, as shown in FIG. The tray 11 is provided with a balance display portion 13, a lending button 14, and a return button 15, and the board surface 9 has a general drawing winning port 16, a general drawing display portion 17, a general drawing hold display portion 18, and a special drawing display portion. 19, a first hold number display unit 20, a second hold number display unit 21, a general winning port 22, a first starting port 23, a second starting port 24, and a big winning port 25 are provided.

The gaming machine 1 operates as shown below.
(1) The first starting port 23 is a winning port where the winning rate does not change (so-called “Jezo winning port”), and the second starting port 24 is a winning port (so-called electric Chu) where the winning rate changes. A big hit lottery is performed according to a winning (start winning) at each of the start openings 23, 24, and the lottery result is notified by a symbol variation performed on the special prize display unit 19, 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 starting winning a prize in the state where the number of symbol fluctuations (holding number) being held is the upper limit value, the symbol fluctuation is not suspended, and when there is a suspension at the second start port 24, the first start port 23 is retained. The symbol variation that has been put on hold is executed in preference to.

  (3) The winning probability (hit probability) of the big hit lottery is 1/300, and when the big hit occurs, the big winning opening 25 is opened for 10 rounds (R). The upper limit winning number of 1R is 10, the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds, and 1R is terminated when either the upper limit winning number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied. In addition, although the game machine which does not perform what is called round distribution was illustrated, it is good also considering the game machine which performs round distribution.

  (4) When the big hit ends (the special condition occurrence condition and the second special condition occurrence condition are satisfied), the probability is changed to the special condition (hereinafter sometimes referred to as ST, special condition period, first special condition period), and during the ST The jackpot probability is improved to 1/74, and the second starting port 24 is in a short time state (hereinafter, short time) when the winning rate of the second start port 24 is high. In ST, a lottery lottery results in a small hit rush state (hereinafter referred to as rush) in which a small hit (specific state) frequently appears in a part or all of the period. Note that ST continues until the next big hit occurs or 100 symbol changes are made, and thereafter, it becomes a normal state.

  The general winning opening 22 is provided at a position where a winning can be made even if the player hits the right side of the board surface 9 during the ST, that is, the so-called right hit is made. There are 10 prize balls, but no symbol variation is performed.

  (5) The second starting port 24 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 prize 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 is shorter than in the normal state, while the open time is longer, so that the winning rate of the second start port 24 becomes higher.

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 ball placement by the player and start winnings at the start ports 23 and 24. .
Out signal = a signal (operation signal) that can specify a consumption value (out) output from an out BOX that collects consumed balls. Since one pulse is output for 10 consumed (used, driven, and collected) balls, “the number of out signals × 10” is specified as out. A signal output 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 1 pulse is output for 10 payout balls, “safe signal number × 10” is specified as safe. A signal output at the time of winning as the output time is desirable, but a signal output at the time of payout completion may be used. Further, a replenishment signal output from the replenishing device may be used as a safe signal.

  Start winning signal (start signal) = a signal that can specify a winning (start winning, S winning) to the start ports 23, 24 output from the gaming machine 1. Since one pulse is output for each winning prize to the starting openings 23 and 24, the starting winning is specified according to the signal input.

  Symbol variation signal = a signal that can identify symbol variation (actual operation, unit game, S) in the special prize display unit (combined item) 19 that fluctuates (acts) due to a start winning prize. Since it is output when the symbol variation is confirmed, the symbol variation is specified according to the signal input (unit game signal, start signal).

Big hit signal = a signal that can specify the big hit period output from the gaming machine 1. Since it is a status signal that is output at a level during a big hit, the big hit signal being input is specified as being a big hit.
Special state signal (first special state signal) = a signal that can specify a special state (Amanaka) output from the gaming machine 1. During the special state in which the winning rate of the second starting port 24 is improved (including during short hours and during rush. In addition, during the small hit, it depends on the previous game state (the signal level is continued), so the small hit is specified Since the status signal is level output, the special status signal being input is specified as being in the special status. Further, a period in which neither the big hit signal nor the special state signal is input is specified as the normal state.

  In short, the gaming machine 1 transitions to either a rush that is a state where a small hit frequently occurs or a short time that is a normal special state other than a rush during a special state ST that is a certain change of the number of times. Since the signals are output in common, it is impossible to distinguish between them by the status signal.

Next, ST will be described.
When the big hit occurs, the gaming machine 1 is in a special state after the big hit, and becomes ST until 100 symbol changes are made. In ST, lottery of 0, 10, 30, 50, and 100 is performed, and the probabilistic change and the short time remain at the same time from the start of ST until the symbol change for the number of times won, but thereafter ( The first special state occurrence condition is satisfied (from the start in the case of 0 times) is a small hit rush state (hereinafter referred to as a rush (first special state)) in which small hits occur frequently in addition to the probability change and short time (hereinafter referred to as rush (first special state)). ST, which is not a rush, is called a short time (second special state)). In this rush, small hits (occurring with a probability of 1/300 in the normal state and opening the big prize opening 25 for 1.8 seconds) occur with a probability of 1 / 1.6, but the ST ends. Until the rush continues. That is, the rush is positioned as a further special state in a part or all of the period in the ST. Note that the symbol does not change during the big hit or the small hit.

  Here, the definition of rush may be in a state where the small hit probability is improved, but during the ST, the small hit probability is improved uniformly, but in the short time other than the rush, it is difficult to win the big winning opening 25 even during the small hit, Since it is possible to assume a gaming machine that makes it easy to win a prize in the rush, when a gaming machine having such a configuration is targeted, the probability of small hits is improved from the normal state, while the big prize opening 25 is shorter than the short time. The state in which the winning rate of the game is improved may be defined as the rush. In this case, the rush includes a small hit generated during the rush. In other words, the rush is more advantageous than the normal condition for generating a starting prize (winning to the second starting port 24, etc.) than normal, and a big prize (winning to the big prize opening 25) is generated by generating a small hit. It can be defined as a gaming state in which the condition to be generated is more effective for the player than the normal state or short time. In addition, although it was illustrated that the rush was made after the time was shortened at the time of ST, the gaming machine which is made short after the rush, the game machine which cannot generate a small hit when the time is short, and the like may be targeted.

  FIG. 3 shows the state transition of the gaming machine 1. Each state of the big hit, the small hit, the rush, the short time, and the normal state is represented by each corresponding level, and the actual output voltage is shown for the big hit signal and the special state signal. It is shown at a level corresponding to. In this case, ST (all periods in the special state) corresponds to the round numbers 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9, the short time corresponds to the round numbers 3 and 8, and the rush corresponds to the round numbers 4, 6, and 9. Note that the period of the circled number 6 indicates that the entire period of ST is rush.

  The big hit signal is output during the big hit, that is, the period of the round numbers 2, 5, and 7 in the figure, and the special state signal is output in the case of the big hit, rush, or short time, that is, in the period of the round numbers 2 to 9. Since it is output, it becomes possible to specify that either of the special states of rush or short time has been reached during the period of 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 by the round numbers, but any special state It is not possible to specify the period between the short time and the rush. Note that a special state signal that does not output during big hits may be used.

  The special state signal (first special state signal) depends on the previous gaming state during the small hit (the signal level is continued), so it is output even during the small hit in ST, but it is output even in the small hit in the normal state. However, the special state signal may be output when a small hit occurs in the normal state so that the special state signal is output at the small hit time. In addition, although the gaming machine that becomes the ST that is cut off is illustrated, the gaming machine that becomes a rush in a part of the normal probability change and time reduction that is not ST, the gaming machine that distributes the ST itself, or the rush and time reduction It is possible to target a gaming machine in which the special state is rushed without performing the lottery of the above (the gaming machine is optimal in the first pattern to be described later). Any special state may be targeted, whether it is only one state or a state that is advantageous to other players. Further, the special condition occurrence condition is established by the end of the big hit, but for example, the special state is established only when a specific big hit (so-called probable big hit, etc.) is completed, or a specific number (for example, a so-called ceiling function) The special condition generation condition may be any condition as long as the special condition generation condition is established, such as a special condition generation condition is satisfied when a big hit does not occur even if the symbol variation (1000 times) is performed.

  The gaming device 2 receives a game display state of the gaming machine 1 and a state display unit 26 indicating the state of the gaming device 2, a bill insertion slot 27 into which bills (money value) are inserted, an operation input from the player, and progress of the game. Along with the touch panel type liquid crystal display unit 28 for displaying game data such as the number of symbol fluctuations (start count) and jackpot probability, and lending information indicating the lending status in the gaming device 2, etc. It has a button 29, a dispensing nozzle 30 through which the dispensed ball passes, a card insertion slot 31 into which a general card or a membership card is inserted, a detachable counting tray 32 positioned below the bottom tray 12 of the gaming machine 1, and the like. .

  The gaming device 2 is a lending machine with a so-called counting function, and the balance of the received money (balance) minus the consideration for lending, and the remaining possessed money repaid by replaying. It is a device that can issue (all issues) general cards that can identify balls. The balance indicates the player's available amount (remaining monetary value) excluding the consideration value (consideration of the lending process) performed by the lending process from the money amount deposited by the player. Mochitama refers to the game value that the player has gained through the game, and the game value (acquired value) excluding the game value given by the replay process from the counted game value or the game value that is the price of the exchanged prize. Is shown. The coins recorded on the general card are settled at the POS, and the balance is settled at the balance settlement machine.

  In other words, when the gaming device 2 accepts money (money acceptance processing), the payment amount is added to the balance and displayed on both the gaming machine 1 and the gaming device 2, and the gaming machine 1 is rented in a state where the balance is present. When the button 14 is pressed (lending operation, giving operation), a lending ball (value to be given) for 1 unit (for example, 500 yen) is paid out from the gaming machine 1 (value giving process), and the amount corresponding to the rate is a balance. Deducted from. In addition, the money can accept the correspondence of the multiple times of the value giving process (for example, up to 10,000 yen).

  When a counting ball is received, the counting ball is specified as a holding ball, and a payout process (replaying process of the holding ball) for returning the holding ball in response to pressing of the payout button 29 is enabled. The number of balls for consideration (for example, the same number as the number of balls paid back) is subtracted. When the return button 15 of the gaming machine 1 is pressed (issue operation is accepted) in a state where the balance or the remaining ball remains, a retained ball ticket that can specify the balance or the retained ball stocked in the gaming apparatus 2 is issued. In addition, it is possible to perform split issuance in which only a part of the holding ball or the balance is issued. In addition, when accepting a coin-to-ball ticket, the balance or coin-to-ball is taken over.

  The gaming device 2 uses a serial communication with the relay device 4 to allow the management device 6 to accept money, give consideration, balance, possession, number of borrowed balls, number of payout balls, deposit amount, number of counting balls, number of borrowed balls, It is possible to specify various information such as the sales amount that is the consideration for the loaned balls and the acceptance and issue processing of the coin-to-ball ticket, but these are pulse signals (for example, 1 pulse for every 1000 yen received, 1 pulse for every 100 yen sold) Etc.) may be specified. Note that communication regarding the lending process may be performed directly between the gaming machine 1 and the gaming apparatus 2 without using the relay device 4.

  Now, during the ST, not only is it safe to start, but it is also important to know the safety of winning in the grand prize opening 25 (hereinafter referred to as grand prize) and winning in the general prize opening 22 (hereinafter referred to as general prize). It is important in analyzing information. In the case of a gaming machine of the type that outputs the game signal described above, safe information (special safe information) indicating the safety of the entire winning prize (hereinafter, all safe) during the ST based on the gaming signal, or safe by starting prize (hereinafter referred to as the winning prize) Since the safe information (special start information) indicating the start safe) can be grasped, the management device 6 removes the start safe portion from all the safes during ST (special exclusion safe), that is, a big prize or general The game information is managed including information (special exclusion information) indicating a safe portion due to winning.

  By the way, since the gaming machine 1 can be assumed to be a gaming machine of the type that outputs the following big winning signals and rush signals in addition to the gaming signals described above, the management device 6 can handle such gaming machines of this type. Are also subject to management.

  -Grand prize signal (other prize signal) = Output when a big prize is won. Although it is assumed that one output indicates one prize and is output even during a big hit, it may be output only during rush hours. Further, if the number of winning prizes (other winning information) is specified by the winning prize signal indicating the number of winning prizes, the winning prize ball, which is the game value given to the winning of the winning prize opening 25 per time, is multiplied. Since it is possible to specify a large safe (other safe) that is safe for 25 minutes of the big prize opening, the big prize signal indicating the number of big prizes is exemplified as the other prize signal corresponding to other safe, but directly like the safe signal. In other words, a game signal indicating a large safe may be used as another winning signal. The same applies to the start signal and the like.

  ・ Rush signal (special state signal, second special state signal) = A signal that can specify the rush (first special state period), and is output only during the rush. So that it can be specified in combination with other state signals, for example, during a big hit and during a rush (in this case, a rush signal output period that is not a big hit signal output period becomes a rush) Such a state signal may be used.

  As an input pattern in which the management device 6 inputs a big winning signal or a rush signal from the gaming machine 1 when the management device 6 also manages a type of gaming machine that includes a big winning signal or a rush signal as a game signal. A plurality of input patterns can be assumed depending on whether or not a big prize signal or a rush signal is input. That is, the first pattern that does not input both the big prize signal and the rush signal, the second pattern that does not input the rush signal but the rush signal is the input target, and the rush signal is the input target. It is possible to assume a third pattern that is not input as a winning signal and a fourth pattern that is input as both a big winning signal and a rush signal.

  In addition, it is possible to assume other winning signals instead of the big winning signal, or input patterns such as the big winning signal, other other winning signals, and the rush signal as input targets, but the explanation is simplified. For the sake of simplicity, in the present embodiment, the first to fourth patterns corresponding to whether or not a big prize signal or a rush signal is input will be mainly described.

  Here, in the second to fourth patterns, the actual operation of the gaming machine 1 is not different from that of the first pattern, but compared to the first pattern, the big winning signal is in the second pattern, the rush signal is in the third pattern, The fourth pattern corresponds to a type of gaming machine 1 that outputs a big winning signal and a rush signal.

  In the case of the first pattern in which a big winning signal or a rush signal is not output from the gaming machine 1 and is not an input target, not only the number of big winnings and the general winning can not be distinguished, but also the time reduction and the rush cannot be distinguished. In the following, it is possible to distinguish winnings only as “Amaka”), but in the second and fourth patterns for inputting a big winning signal, it becomes possible to distinguish the number of large winnings and winning in the general winning opening 22 and the third for inputting a rush signal. It is possible to distinguish the winnings by distinguishing the special state, which was regarded as sweet in 4 patterns, such as short time and rush.

Therefore, the management apparatus 6 can set which of the first to fourth patterns is selected for each model and presets corresponding setting information.
FIG. 4 shows the setting information, and the following items are set.

  Aggregation method = input pattern for aggregating game information, a first pattern (corresponding to FIG. 5) that does not input the big prize signal and the rush signal, and a second pattern (FIG. 7) that takes the big prize signal as an input object. Corresponding), a third pattern (corresponding to FIG. 8) with the rush signal as an input object, or a fourth pattern (corresponding to FIG. 9) with both the big prize signal and the rush signal as input objects is selected.

-S prize ball normal = game value given to each start prize at normal time (normally left-handed, corresponding to the first start port 23)
・ S prize ball special = game value given to each start prize during special condition and big hit (corresponds to the second start port 24 because it is right-handed during special condition and big hit)
・ Large winning ball = Game value given for winning to the big winning opening 25 per time ・ Set small safe = Expected safe per small size Note that Fig. 4 is set for each model Of course, it may be possible, but it may of course be set according to other classifications such as setting only for the entire game hall.

  In the present embodiment, since the game signal common to the first start port 23 and the second start port 24 is adopted as the start winning signal for simplification of description, the normal state and the special state as shown in FIG. The S prize ball (S prize ball normal, S prize ball special) is set in distinction, the number of prize balls to be multiplied by the S prize is identified according to the state, and the S safe is identified. When the winning signal is output separately from the second starting port 24, the starting winning is distinguished and specified, and the S1 winning ball corresponding to the first starting port 23 and the S2 winning ball corresponding to the second starting port 24 Is set as S prize ball normal, etc., and the sum of the S safe corresponding to the first start port 23 specified from them and the S safe corresponding to the second start port 24 is specified as the S safe. Also good. In this case, it is possible to more appropriately manage the S-safe etc. for the model that wins the second start port 24 during the normal state and the model that wins the first start port 23 during the sweet.

The management device 6 totals game information according to the selected input pattern.
FIG. 5 shows the result of counting when the first pattern is selected. The S safe corresponding to the start winning prize is managed separately from the excluded safe corresponding to the safe excluding the S safe from the overall safe. The following items are set as management targets.

  Time, state = time is a record corresponding time and a record creation time, but any time may be used as long as it corresponds to a record such as an event occurrence time such as a record confirmation time or a big hit. The state is a state corresponding to the record, and is specified by a state signal.

-Out, Safe, Difference = Out is the number of balls thrown into the gaming machine (consumption value), Safe is the number of payout balls according to the winnings during the game (winning value, all safe), the difference is the difference between safe and out It is.
・ S, S winning, S safe, S payout rate = S is the number of symbol variations, S winning is the starting winning number (starting information), S safe is the safe by S winning (S winning ball × S winning ball according to state, starting (Information, start-up safe), S out rate is the out rate for S safe (ratio between out and (S) safe (= S safe ÷ out), start information).

・ Excluded safe, excluded rate = excluded safe is a safe (safe-S safe) for winnings other than each start port 23, 24 (big winning port 25, general winning port 22), and the excluded rate is for other safes Rate (= excluded safe ÷ out). All are exclusion information, Amane is special exclusion information, and others are the same.
・ Issuance rate, S% = Issuance rate is safe / out (safe information), and S% is the ratio of out to S (= S / out).

  In the first pattern, since the rush signal is not an input target, the time reduction and the rush are not distinguished from each other, and are summed up as a sweet medium, and the grand prize signal or the like is not an input target. The winning prizes with 22 are not classified, but are counted together as excluded safes, etc., but if there is no shortage of time and gaming machines that are always in rush in a special state are subject to management, It is possible to grasp how much grant is occurring during the rush. Note that, generally, tabulation is divided into sweet and medium (short time or rush), big hit and state, and the average and total per record are tabulated. In addition, the total is the total of all states.

FIG. 6 collectively shows the state transitions of the gaming machine 1 corresponding to the second to fourth patterns, that is, inputting at least one of the big prize signal and the rush signal.
FIG. 7 shows the result of counting when the second pattern is selected. The S safe, the large safe corresponding to the big prize, and the other safe excluding the S safe and the large safe are managed separately. To do. In FIG. 7, the next item is set corresponding to the second pattern, but the description of the already described items is omitted. The same applies to the third and subsequent patterns.

  -Grand prize, big safe, big payout rate = big prize is the number of winning prizes at the big prize opening 25, big safe is the big prize safe (big prize x big prize winning ball number), big out rate is for big safe Outgoing rate (= Great Safe / Out).

-Other safe, other pay rate = other safe is the safe (safe-S safe-large safe) for the winning (other wins) to the general winning opening 22, the other pay rate is the other safe pay rate (= other safe ÷ Out).
-Small hit = Estimated number of small hits (Large Safe ÷ Safe Set Small Hit).

  In the second pattern, a big prize signal is input, so after specifying the large safe (other safe) and subtracting safe (all safe) and S safe (starting safe), other safe (excluded safe) Has been identified. In addition to specifying the general prize signal (other prize signal) instead of the big prize signal, the other prizes (other prize information) are specified in the same way as the big prize, and the other safe (other prize information) is identified in the same way as the big safe. Thus, the large safe (exclusion information in this case) may be specified by subtracting the safe and the S safe as in other safes. In this case, it is only necessary to cope with selection as the fifth pattern.

  FIG. 8 shows the result of counting when the third pattern is selected. The special state is managed by dividing it into a rush and a short time, and unlike the second pattern, it is calculated by a method of calculating the large safe and the big prize. Identify. In FIG. 8, the following items are set.

  ・ Large winning, large safe, other safe, other winning rate = large winning is large safe ÷ large prize winning ball number, large safe is safe-S safe-other safe, other safe is safe-S safe in normal and short time In jackpots and rushes, it is the out rate x out-going rate, and the rate of going out is the average and total of the rate of going out in the short-time in jackpot and rush.

  In the third pattern, unlike the second pattern, a rush signal (because it is the first special state, the corresponding game information is the first special safe information, etc.) and a short time (because it is the second special state, the corresponding game information Can be distinguished from the second special safe information, etc., but since the large winning signal is not input, it is obtained as described above. In other words, it is assumed that no small hits will occur during the time shortage, and safes other than S-safe are counted as other safes, and the extraordinary rate (second special exclusion rate) based on the tabulated results is calculated for the big hits and rushes. Considering it as the other rate (the first other safe portion corresponding to the second special excluded rate), the other safe by the other rate and out (first other safe portion corresponding to the second special excluded rate), Other safe and safe (all safe corresponding to the first special safe information) and S safe (start safe corresponding to the second special start information) and large safe (first special corresponding to the first special large safe part) Exclude information).

  In addition, when special exclusion information is specified including other cases, starting safe is excluded from all safes, that is, calculation in safe units is illustrated, but by excluding S out rate from out rate By specifying in the calculation other than the safe unit such as the calculation in the rate unit so as to specify the output rate, the excluded safe portion may be specified by excluding the start safe portion from the total safe portion. Shows the safe rate or rate.

FIG. 9 shows the tabulation results when the fourth pattern is selected. The special state is managed by dividing it into rush and short time, and the large safe or the like is specified as in the second pattern.
In the fourth pattern, the definition and determination of words and phrases are the same as in the second pattern, but the special state (Kannaka) is divided into short time and rush compared to the second pattern.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be produced.
According to the first pattern, it is particularly desirable to target gaming machines that use the entire sweet medium as a rush, but it is possible to grasp the rush rate in addition to the conventional overall rate and start safe rate. It is possible to check the state of the gaming machine more appropriately in the special state.

  According to the second pattern or the fifth pattern, which is a deformation pattern, even a gaming machine capable of generating both a short time and a rush as a candy can be obtained using a big prize signal, a general prize signal, etc. The rush portion and the general winning portion are divided to facilitate confirmation of the appearance of the ball.

  According to the third pattern, even in the case of a gaming machine that can generate both short time and rush as Kannaka, it is possible to manage the general situation in Kannaka by managing the short-running game situation that is unlikely to generate small hits. Checking the status of winning a prize will be facilitated.

  Furthermore, according to the third pattern, since the status of the payout due to the general winnings does not change much between the rush and the short working hours, by considering the winning rate during the short working hours as the winning rate for the general winnings during the rush hour, Even if it is a game machine which can generate both a short time and a rush, it is possible to manage the status of the small winning prizes during the rush.

  By making exclusion safe a management target, it is possible to check the state of the gaming machine more appropriately in the special state, and the first pattern to the fourth pattern (if the fifth pattern is selectable, the fifth is selected. Even if a plurality of signal output patterns are assumed from the gaming machine side regarding the rush by specifying the game information that can be specified according to the selected input pattern by selectively adopting the pattern) More appropriate game information management becomes possible.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
Although safe and an output rate are illustrated as safe information, only one of the safe and the output rate may be managed as safe information. In this case, for example, if it is a payout rate, the numerical value fluctuates according to the safe, so the game information corresponds to the safe. The same applies to the case where the starting winning number is managed as starting information, the case where the other winning numbers are managed as other winning information, and the like.

  As an example of the first other safe portion corresponding to the second special exclusion rate, the example of adopting the time rate during the short time without taking into account the short time during the short time is used, It is also possible to specify the first rate of safe and the corresponding rate of rush during the rush after being provided and subtracted from the rate of shortage.

  Each set value can be set by an administrator by arbitrarily inputting an operation, or set by a manufacturer of the management device 6 in advance, by downloading setting information from an external (eg, chain store headquarters) server. May be.

  All illustrated game information may be specified directly by an input signal or indirectly by using an arithmetic expression. In addition, the model may be classified into any category as long as it indicates the type of gaming machine, such as a manufacturer unit or a specification unit.

  The numerical value, the number of digits, items, etc. are examples, and any numerical value may be adopted. Further, the identification output may be any output mode such as adding a symbol other than those exemplified, and at least printing and display output are assumed as the output.

  Either of the above and the excess may be adopted, and expressions such as “reached” are expressions corresponding to any of the above or exceeding. The same applies to the following and the following, and expressions such as “not reached” are expressions corresponding to both.

  As a target gaming machine, a gaming machine other than the illustrated gaming machine such as a so-called enclosed type that manages gaming media only by data can be adopted. In consideration of the so-called enclosing type, the game medium is expressed as a game value as necessary.

  In the present embodiment, it is exemplified that all the processing is performed by the management device 6, but the processing may be performed by the relay device 4, the gaming device 2, or the like, or may be shared by a plurality of devices. Further, the exemplified items and configurations, including modifications, may be combined in any manner, and a configuration that is not employed may be provided as appropriate.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, 4 is a relay device (input means), and 6 is a management device (game information specifying means, exclusion information specifying means, management means).
