Machine 50 (50a-50c is for game balls, 50d-50f is for medals), replay machine 60 (60a-60c is for game balls, 60d-60f is for medals) that pulls out the stored deposits, and each game machine 10 A hall computer 70 for collecting game data, a storage management device 80 for managing each player's storage balls, a prize exchange device 90 for exchanging game media and prizes, reading member information from a predetermined recording medium, etc. Based on the operation of the leader 100 to be performed by the player and the player's operation, an entry confirmation terminal 110 capable of confirming the intention of entering, which will be described later, And a like information disclosure device 120 for outputting the data viewable on.
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, a pachinko machine 10a and a slot machine 10b are installed in the game hall for each rental rate.
For example, corner A is a 4 yen corner with a lending rate of 1 game ball of 4 yen / ball, corner B is a 2 yen corner with a lending rate of 1 game ball of 2 yen / ball, and corner C is A 1-yen corner with a lending rate for 1 game ball of 1 yen / ball, Corner D is a 20-yen corner with a lending rate of 1 medal for 20 yen / a, and Corner E has a lending rate for 1 medal. Games lent at corners A to F at different loan rates, such as a 10 yen corner with 10 yen / card and a corner F with a 5-yen corner with a lending rate of one medal at 5 yen / card. A pachinko machine 10a and a slot machine 10b that can be played using balls and medals are installed.

In such a game hall, the game system 1 operates as a game data totaling system.
For example, game signals and operation signals such as out signals, safe signals, jackpot signals, and rental signals output from the gaming machine 10 and the lending machine 20 are transmitted via relay information processing devices such as the stand computer 30 and the island computer 40. The data is transmitted to the hall computer 70, etc., and collected and managed.

Further, the gaming system 1 of the present embodiment operates as a savings replay system.
The storage ball replay system is a system in which the game hall temporarily stores the game media acquired by the player and can be pulled out again so that the player can play again. In this embodiment, for example, each counter 50 The counted amount of game media is managed as a stored ball by the stored ball management device 80, and the stored ball can be pulled out from the lending machine 20 or the replay machine 60, and the game machine 10 uses the pulled out game medium to play a game (replay). It can be done.
Further, the stored balls managed by the stored ball management device 80 are managed for each account provided for each lending rate.

As described above, in the game hall of the present embodiment in which the stored ball replay system for managing the stored balls in the account for each loan rate is introduced, the player can play one game machine 10 associated with one loan rate. It is possible to replay by pulling out the accumulated balls of an account with another loan rate different from the loan rate.
For example, when a player plays a game with the pachinko machine 10a installed in the corner A (4-yen corner), the player pulls out from a 2-yen account storage ball and plays again, and the pachinko machine 10a In the lending machine 20 and the replay machine 60 in the same corner, the stored balls can be paid out from an account of another rate different from the account of the own rate, and replay can be performed with the pachinko machine 10a.
In the following description, playing a game medium (replay) by pulling out a game medium from an account of a rate other than the own rate will be referred to as “entry” or “entry replay”.
In addition, the lending rate (own rate) associated with the entry corner is referred to as the “entry use rate”, and the lending rate (other rates) used by the player for entry is referred to as the “entry withdrawal rate”. ,explain.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the lending machine 20 has a bill insertion slot 21 into which a predetermined banknote is inserted, a card insertion slot 22 into which a card (for example, a membership card or a one-day card) is inserted, information about a game or information about a storage ball. A display unit 23 for displaying a game medium, a payout button 24 for paying out game media from the stored ball, a recording medium return button 25 for returning a card at the end of the game, a plurality of buttons, a predetermined selection operation, etc. An input unit 26 composed of a numeric keypad that can be input is provided.

  When the payout button 24 is operated, a predetermined number of game media are paid out within the range of stored balls (stored ball replay balls) according to the loan rate. In addition, a stored ball replay signal including the quantity of stored ball replay balls is transmitted to the hall computer 70 and the stored ball management device 80.

The payout button 24 is a function of paying out both the amount of game media deposited in the game hall on the current day and the amount of game media deposited in the game hall before the previous day out of the storage balls held by the player. However, when the payout button 24 is operated, it can be set by the manager of the game hall which pays out.
Note that a button may be provided separately from the payout button 24 so that one of the buttons is paid out when one of the buttons is operated.

In addition, the gaming machine 10 is provided with a ball lending button 11, and when cash is inserted in the lending machine 20 or when a cash balance is associated with a card inserted in the card insertion slot 22. In addition, it is possible to rent game media.
When the ball lending button 11 is operated, a predetermined number of game media (for example, 125 pieces corresponding to 500 yen at a lending rate of 4 yen / ball) are lent out according to the lending rate (sales balls). In addition, a lending signal including the quantity of sales balls is transmitted to the hall computer 70.
The ball lending button 11 is not limited to the configuration provided in the gaming machine 10 and may be provided in the lending machine 20.

  The counter 50 is a device for counting the number of game media acquired by the player through the game, and is installed at a predetermined location in the game hall, for example, an island edge of the gaming machine island. Specifically, each counter 50 is installed for each rental rate as in the gaming machine 10, for example, the counter 50a is installed in the corner A, the counter 50b is installed in the corner B, and the counter 50d is installed in the corner. The counter 50e is installed in the corner E.

  Although not shown, the counter 50 is provided with a card insertion section into which a membership card or a one-day card can be inserted, and a card reader that reads predetermined information from the inserted card. When a membership card is inserted in the card, the card reader reads the medium ID that can identify the card, and the read medium ID, the count value that is the counting result, and the corner where the counter 50 is installed. By transmitting them to the storage management device 80 in association with the lending rate, it is possible to deposit the counted gaming media as storage balls in the game hall. In addition, you may record the count value which is a count result on a member card.

  The replay machine 60 is a device for paying out game media to the player within the range of the storage balls, and is installed at a predetermined location in the game hall, for example, an island edge of the game machine island. Specifically, each replay machine 60 is installed according to the lending rate, like the gaming machine 10, for example, the replay machine 60a is installed in the corner A, and the replay machine 60b is installed in the corner B. The machine 60d is installed in the corner D, and the replay machine 60e is installed in the corner E.

Although not shown, the replay machine 60 includes a card insertion part into which a member card can be inserted, a game medium payout outlet for paying out a game medium, and a display part capable of predetermined display and input.
The replay machine 60 displays each screen regarding payout of replay on the display unit. From the screen displayed on the display unit, the player accepts a selection operation and pays out the game medium from the game medium payout exit.
Specifically, when the player performs an operation related to entry, the replay machine 60 stores the stored amount of the account of the other rate (entry withdrawal rate) different from the own rate (entry use rate). It is possible to re-enter the game by converting and paying out as a storage ball.
On the other hand, the replay machine 60, when an operation related to replay is performed without an operation related to entry by the player, a game medium is stored from a stored ball of an account of its own rate preset in the replay machine 60. Pay out.

  The storage management device 80 includes at least a member management function for managing information related to a player registered as a member in the game hall, a storage management function for managing the number of storage balls previously deposited by the player in the game hall, and the number of storage balls. It has a storage ball conversion function for converting into the quantity of the usage rate, and a communication function for transmitting / receiving information related to storage balls between other devices (lending machine 20, counter 50, replay machine 60).

The storage management device 80 stores, for example, a member database, a storage database, and the like.
The member database stores information related to the player, and includes, for example, a medium ID such as a member card that can identify the player, a personal identification number, a name, a gender, a last visit date, and the number of visits.
The storage ball database includes, for example, a medium ID, the number of storage balls, and the like, and is managed for each account for each loan rate.
For example, A ball for an account related to the loan rate (4 yen / ball), B ball for an account related to the loan rate (2 yen / ball), C ball for an account related to the loan rate (1 yen / ball), a loan rate ( The number of stored balls is the loan rate, such as D sheets for the account related to 20 yen / sheet, E sheets for the account related to the lending rate (10 yen / sheet), F sheets for the account related to the lending unit price (5 yen / sheet). It is memorized for each account.

In the storage management device 80 configured in this way, the data in the storage database is updated based on information transmitted from the lending machine 20, the counter 50, and the replaying machine 60.
For example, when information including a medium ID, a count value, a rental rate, and the like is received from the counter 50, the corresponding player's data is updated based on these information.
Further, when information including a medium ID, a lending rate, etc. is received from the replay machine 60 together with an operation signal (a stored ball replay signal), the data of the corresponding player is negatively updated based on these information.
In addition, when receiving information including a medium ID, a loan rate, and the like together with an operation signal (a stored ball replay signal) transmitted from the lending machine 20 when the payout button 24 is operated, the information is applicable based on the information. Minus update of player data.

Moreover, when the operation related to entry is performed in the lending machine 20 or the replay machine 60, the storage management device 80 uses the number of stored balls stored in the account of the withdrawal withdrawal rate (other rates) as the usage rate (own rate). ) Is converted into the quantity.
That is, the number of stored balls in the account of the other rate is converted so as to have the same value as the own rate, and is calculated as the number of stored balls that can be paid out on the lending machine 20 and the replay machine 60.

  The prize exchange device 90 is a so-called POS terminal that performs an exchange process when exchanging game media and storage balls acquired by a game with a predetermined prize. For example, receipts and counting results issued from the counter 50 are displayed. The number of game media is read from the associated membership card or one-day card, the read quantity is matched with the number of prizes corresponding to the prize that the player wants to exchange, and these are linked and processed. Execute processing to deduct the number of prizes.

Further, the prize exchange device 90 operates as an example of the intention confirmation means in the present invention, and executes the entry intention confirmation process for requesting the intention confirmation of the player who enters the prize in addition to the prize exchange process.
In replays using pool balls, player withdrawal does not require confirmation of the player's intention for withdrawals from their own rate account, but for replay entry, it is assumed that withdrawals from other rates are assumed, The player's prior willingness confirmation is required because there is a risk of damage.
Therefore, a player's intention confirmation function is provided in the prize exchange device 90 as a gaming device that can obtain the player's intention confirmation.
In this entry intention confirmation process, the player side display unit 90a and the store clerk side display unit 90b (for example, a touch panel type liquid crystal display) display a screen as shown in FIGS. Accept input.

First, the screen shown in FIG. 3A is displayed on the customer side display unit 90a.
When the player operates (touches) the “check in” button on the screen shown in FIG. 3 (a), a message such as “Please insert the membership card” is displayed as shown in FIG. 3 (b). Accordingly, when a member card is inserted into the reader 100 provided in the prize exchange device 90, a message such as “Please enter your PIN” is displayed as shown in FIG. The reader 100 is provided with a numeric key input unit, and a password can be input from the numeric key input unit.

When a proper membership card is inserted and a password is entered, a screen for confirming the intention to enter the storage ball shown in FIG. 3D is displayed.
On this screen, the current setting status is displayed, a “change” button for changing the current setting, an “end” button for ending the operation without changing the current setting, The “Check number of stored balls” button for checking the current number of stored balls is displayed.

When the “confirm number of stored balls” button is operated, the current number of stored balls is displayed for each account as shown in FIG. Thereby, the account which a player can enter can be confirmed.
When the “Change” button is operated, as shown in Fig. 3 (e), a screen for requesting confirmation of entry is displayed, and the “Get in” button and the “Do not enter” button are displayed. Is done. When either the “Get in” button or the “Do not enter” button is selected and the “Determine” button is operated, the setting is changed as shown in FIG. A screen is displayed.
On the other hand, when the “Cancel” button is operated, the operation is terminated without changing the current setting, and the screen returns to the screen shown in FIG.
In addition, after confirming the intention to “get in”, if you want to stop getting in, make the setting by checking the intention to “do not enter” (select the “Do not enter” button). Can be changed. In other words, it is possible to appropriately change the setting for confirming entry into the game hall.

  As a result of such entry intention confirmation processing, the prize exchange device 90 transmits information that can identify the player's intention confirmation to the hall computer 70 via the storage ball management device 80 in association with the medium ID read by the reader 100. . Thereby, in the hall computer 70, permission (validation) of entry processing for each player or prohibition (invalidation) of entry processing is set (setting of an entry intention setting flag).

In addition, if such a confirmation of intention to enter is once confirmed by the player to “get in”, then unless the setting is changed to “do not enter” by the player, Setting) is enabled. That is, at the start of business on the next day, the setting for confirming the intention of entering all the players returns to “do not enter”.
However, the present setting is not limited to this, and the current setting may be continuously enabled until the setting is changed by the player without providing such an effective period.

The boarding confirmation terminal 110 is an example of the intention confirmation means in the present invention, and is a dedicated terminal for confirming the intention of a player involved in boarding. For example, it is provided at the island edge of the gaming machine island where the gaming machine 10 is installed.
The boarding confirmation terminal 110 has a boarding intention confirmation function similar to the prize exchange device 90 described above.
Further, although not shown, the entry confirmation terminal 110 is provided with a card insertion portion into which a membership card or the like can be inserted, and a card reader that reads predetermined information from the inserted card. The screen shown in FIG. 3C is displayed, and an operation for confirming the intention to enter can be accepted from the player.
Then, information that can identify the player's intention confirmation is transmitted from the boarding confirmation terminal 110 to the hall computer 70 via the storage management device 80 in association with the medium ID read by the card reader.

The information disclosure device 120 is a device that is provided at the entrance of a game arcade, the island edge of a gaming machine island, or the like, and outputs game information so as to be visible.
The information disclosure device 120 is capable of data communication with the hall computer 70 and the like, stores game information and various image data received from the hall computer 70, and stores such image data and game information as a player or the like. Display on the liquid crystal display based on the touch operation.
In addition, the information disclosure apparatus 120 is provided with a card insertion section into which a member card or the like can be inserted, and a card reader that reads predetermined information from the inserted card.

The information disclosure apparatus 120 operates as an example of an intention confirmation unit according to the present invention, and executes the entry intention confirmation process for confirming the intention of the player related to the entry described above, in addition to such a display function.
Since the entry intention confirmation process is the same as the operation in the prize exchange device 90 and the entry confirmation terminal 110 described above, detailed description thereof is omitted.
Next, the hall computer 70 that performs characteristic operations in the present embodiment will be described.

[Hall computer]
As shown in FIG. 4, the hall computer 70 includes a communication unit 71 that transmits and receives various signals and various information from each device in the game arcade, and a storage unit that stores programs and data for executing various functions of the hall computer 70. 72, a display unit 73 such as a liquid crystal display for displaying predetermined information on a screen, an input unit 74 such as a keyboard and a mouse operated to input predetermined information and commands, and printing out predetermined information on predetermined paper A game device that is mainly operated by a game shop clerk or the like, including an output unit 77 such as a printer, an arithmetic unit 76 such as an ALU that performs predetermined arithmetic processing, a control unit 75 (computer) that controls each of the above units It is.

The storage unit 72 stores an entry record database.
The entry record database is a player record entry record database (see FIG. 5 (a)) that stores the entry record for each player using the medium ID as a key, and a game field entry that stores the record of entry for each game place. It has a performance database (see FIG. 5B).
For example, there are items such as “Number of people withdrawn”, “Number of people withdrawn”, “Number of people withdrawn”, “Number of people used” for each loan rate. Each information is stored for each period.
The information stored in the “current month” item is, for example, the sum of the information of the “current day” item in the same month, and the information stored in the “current year” item is, for example, the “current month” in the same year. The total of each item of information.
In addition, without setting the “current month” and “current year” items, the information for the “current month” and “current year” periods is displayed on each screen as the sum of the information for the “current day” item. It is also possible (see FIGS. 7 and 8).

The “number of withdrawals” stores the number of players who have withdrawn their savings from an account at another rate (entry withdrawal rate) at the time of entry.
The “number of passengers to be used” stores the number of players who have paid out at their own rate (incoming usage rate) by using stored balls withdrawn from an account at another rate (incoming withdrawal rate).
The “number of withdrawals” stores the number of game media withdrawn at the time of entry.
The “number of used games” stores the number of game media paid out at the time of boarding.

Further, the “entry intention setting flag”, “number of people who are approved for entry”, and “number of people who are not approved for entry” are stored in the database of player achievements.
The “entry intention setting flag” indicates the current setting status of intention confirmation regarding entry, and is set in the aforementioned “entry intention confirmation process”.
Specifically, when information (1) indicating “enter” or information (0) indicating “not enter” is stored and “1” is set in the entry intention setting flag, the corresponding player is stored. Indicates that entry is permitted, and when there are both self-rate and other-rate stored balls, the withdrawal of other-rate stored balls is performed preferentially.
On the other hand, when “0” is set in the entry intention setting flag, it indicates that the corresponding player does not allow entry, and when both the own rate and other rate storage balls exist Priority is given to withdrawal of self-rated storage balls, and entry is restricted.

“Number of boarding approved persons” indicates the number of persons who confirmed the intention to “get in” during the business day confirmation.
“Number of non-approved passengers” indicates the number of people who confirmed the intention of “does not enter” during the business confirmation on the day.

Further, as described above, the intention confirmation of entry can be performed repeatedly by confirming the intention of “entering” and “not entering”. In the case of repeated confirmation of intentions in this way, even if the intention confirmation of `` entering '' or `` not entering '' is made multiple times during the business day, `` Number of people approved for entry '' and `` Number of people not approved for entry '' “+1” is counted only at the time of the first confirmation of intention.
Therefore, it is possible to accurately grasp the number of players who have confirmed the intention to enter the day.

The storage unit 72 stores a replay history database.
The replay history database stores a game history by replay for each gaming machine 10, for example, "game date and time", "member number (medium ID)", "number of stored balls before payout", "number of replays ( The number of payouts), “commissions”, “number of stored balls after payout”, “number of used in use”, “incoming withdrawal rate”, “incoming withdrawal number”, and the like. Each time the player plays a game by replaying, the data is updated.

In addition, the storage unit 72 stores an entry priority database.
The entry priority database stores, for each loan rate, the priority order of the accounts from which the stored balls are withdrawn when making the entry.
For example, in the ball 4 yen rate, the priority is set so that the withdrawal from the 2 yen account is the first, and the 1 yen account and the 4 yen account that is the self-rate account are set to follow this.
Similarly, in the case of a 2-yen ball, for example, a 1-yen account, a 4-yen account, and a 2-yen account are set in this order. Is set.
By setting the priority order as described above, for example, in the gaming machine 10 with a 4-yen ball, if the stored money deposited in the 2-yen account is lost due to the progress of the game (cannot be applied), then the 1-yen account is paid out. After that, when there is no more 1-yen account savings (cannot be used), the account that can be paid out will be changed sequentially, starting with the 4-yen account.

In addition, such priority order can be appropriately set and changed according to the business policy of the game hall.
For example, priorities are set so that other rate accounts with a smaller rate difference relative to their own rate have a higher priority, and conversely, a loan rate account with a larger rate difference with respect to its own rate has a higher priority. Can also be rearranged.
It is also possible to increase the priority of withdrawal from an account with a non-operational rate indicating a lending rate that is not operated at a game hall.
Further, the priority order of withdrawal may be appropriately optimized so as to be advantageous to the player in accordance with the balance of the savings account held by the member.
In addition, the priority order can be set not only for each loan rate but also for all loan rates.

The control unit 75 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and is a control unit that operates as a computer.
The control unit 75 controls each component while monitoring the input from each component of the hall computer 70 based on the control program and data stored in the ROM, so that the game signal received by the communication unit 71 Based on the operation signal, predetermined game information is calculated, aggregated, and stored in the storage unit 72.
For example, based on a game signal (for example, an out signal, a safe signal, a medal insertion signal or a medal payout signal) output from the gaming machine 10 and received by the communication unit 71, a game for each gaming machine 10 or each model Information (for example, the number of outs, the number of safes, the number of inputs and the number of payouts) is calculated and aggregated, and stored in the storage unit 72.
In addition, the control unit 75 performs a characteristic operation as described below while totaling predetermined game information.

The control unit 75 operates as an example of the counting means in the present invention, and counts the number of players who have entered the board (entering person counting process).
Specifically, when the control unit 75 receives information (reserved ball replay signal, medium ID, rental rate, etc.) related to the stored ball replay from the stored ball management device 80, the game corresponding to the medium ID is based on the information. The user specifies which lending rate (entry use rate) has been used by using the stored amount of the account of which lending rate (entry withdrawal rate).
And the control part 75 judges that the storage ball was withdrawn from the account of the boarding withdrawal rate, and counts (counts) the number of boarding withdrawal. Further, it is determined that the game medium has been paid out at the transfer usage rate using the stored balls, and the number of passengers used is counted.

Next, a method of counting the number of players who have entered (the number of people withdrawn and the number of people who have entered) will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the following explanation, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), as a precondition, the player (medium ID: 0001) has a “1000” ball for a 4-yen account, a “4000” ball for a 2-yen account, and 1 yen. It is assumed that “6000” balls are stored in the account, and the payout unit by replay is “125” balls at the 4-yen rate, “200” balls at the 2-yen rate, and “200” at the 1-yen rate. "If you have a ball and the transfer priority is a 4 yen ball, 2 yen account-> 1 yen account-> 4 yen account, if it is 2 yen rate, 1 yen account-> 4 yen account-> 2 yen account, balls In the case of 1 yen rate, it is assumed that the order is 2 yen account → 4 yen account → 1 yen account.
In addition, it is assumed that the player has set the “incoming” confirmation of entry intention.
In the present embodiment, the stored balls can be pulled out from the lending machine 20 or the re-playing machine 60 to carry in, but in the following description, the case where the lending machine 20 is used will be described as an example.

First, for example, when a player plays a game for the first time after starting business on the pachinko machine 10a (first gaming machine associated with the first rate) at a four-yen corner, as shown in FIG. 6 (b). The display unit 23 of the lending machine 20 displays “4500” as the replayable number.
In this state, when the payout button 24 is operated, the 2-yen account is given priority according to the entry priority order, and “250” balls are withdrawn from the 2-yen account storage balls as the withdrawal number, and this is reduced to 4 yen. The converted “125” balls are paid out from the lending machine 20 as the number of use.
At this time, the control unit 75 specifies that the player has entered the 4-yen ball using the 2-yen account, and counts (counts) the number of withdrawals at the 2-yen ball. The number of passengers using the 4-yen ball is counted (first counting means).
That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (c), the numerical value of the number of players withdrawing at the 2-yen rate of the corresponding player and the number of people using the 4-yen rate at the ball are incremented by "+1", respectively, and the entry result database by player Is updated.

Thereafter, if the payout button 24 is operated when the game progresses, for example, when the savings in the 2-yen account becomes “0” or a quantity that cannot be used, the 1-yen account is given priority according to the entry priority. “500” balls are withdrawn from the yen account as the number of withdrawals, and “125” balls converted to 4 yen are paid out from the lending machine 20 as the number of usages.
At this time, the control unit 75 specifies that the player has entered the 4-yen ball using the 1-yen account, and counts (counts) the number of people withdrawing the 1-yen ball.
That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (d), the numerical value of the number of players withdrawn at the 1-yen rate of the corresponding player is “+1”, and the player-by-player entry record database is updated.

Here, as shown in FIG. 6 (d), the numerical value of the number of occupants for the corresponding player's ball 4 yen rate is stored as “1” without adding “+1”.
This shows the case where the same player (member) has entered several times at the same lending rate within one business day. In this case, the number of players is incremented by “+1” each time the entry is made. In this case, the number of players is added as many times as the number of players entered regardless of the same player's entry, and the exact number of players cannot be calculated.
Therefore, if it is determined that the same player has entered multiple times at the same lending rate within one business day, the number of players (number of people withdrawn and number of people in use) will not be incremented by "+1". Yes.

Thereafter, when the game progresses, for example, when the 1-yen account savings amount is “0” or the amount cannot be allocated, the corresponding player moves from the 4-yen corner to the 2-yen corner, and the pachinko machine 10a at the 2-yen corner. When the payout button 24 is operated on the lending machine 20 corresponding to the (second gaming machine associated with the second rate), “100” balls are withdrawn from the 4-yen account savings balls as the withdrawal number. “200” balls converted to 2 yen are paid out from the lending machine 20 as the number of used cars.
At this time, the control unit 75 specifies that the player has entered the ball at the 2-yen rate using the 4-yen account, and counts (counts) the number of withdrawals at the 4-yen rate. The number of passengers using the 2-yen ball is counted (second counting means).
That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (e), the numerical value of the number of players withdrawn at the 4-yen rate of the corresponding player and the number of people using the 2-yen rate at the ball are incremented by “+1”, respectively, and the player-by-player entry record database Is updated.

Next, for example, when moving from the 2-yen corner to the 1-yen corner and the payout button 24 is operated by the lending machine 20 attached to the pachinko machine 10a at the 1-yen corner, "50" balls are put in and withdrawn from the storage balls of the 4-yen account. The “200” balls converted into 1 yen are withdrawn from the lending machine 20 as the number of use.
At this time, the control unit 75 specifies that the player has entered the 4-yen account using the saved balls, and counts (counts) the number of people using the 1-yen ball.
That is, as shown in FIG. 6 (f), the value of the number of players using the one-yen rate of the corresponding player is “+1”, and the player-by-player entry database is updated.
At this time, the number of players withdrawing at the 4-yen rate of the corresponding player is not added “+1” for the same reason as described above.
In other words, even if the same player makes a transfer several times at the same lending rate within one business day, the numbers of “number of passengers used” and “number of people withdrawn” are only “+1”.
Thereby, it is possible to accurately grasp the number of players who entered in one business day.

In the above description, the counted (aggregated) “number of people withdrawn” and “number of people in use” have been described as being stored in the “day” item of the entry history database for each player, respectively (+1) (see FIG. 5 (a)), “current month” and “current year” items are similarly stored in “+1” respectively.
In the above description, it has been explained that the “number of people withdrawn” and the “number of people in use” are counted (aggregated) and stored in the player-by-player entry record database (see FIG. 5A). The “number of withdrawals” and the “number of usages” are also counted (aggregated) and stored in the player-by-player entry record database.

  In this way, the control unit 75 uses the stored balls acquired in the first gaming machine associated with the first lending rate (entry withdrawal rate) to use a second lending rate different from that of the first gaming machine. The number of players who entered in the second gaming machine with which the (entry usage rate) is associated, or the player who entered in the first gaming machine using the storage balls acquired in the second gaming machine Can be counted.

In addition, the control unit 75 counts the number of players who have entered the game in units of data for all player data.
(1) Counting the number of entrants for each rental rate The control unit 75 counts the number of players who have entered for each rented rate.
Specifically, with reference to the player-by-player entry record database (FIG. 5A), data for all players is summed up for each lending rate (rate-by-rate number-of-players count-up process).
As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the totaled results are stored in the game field-specific entry record database.
As shown in FIG. 7, the game record entry record database compiled and stored in this way can be checked via the display unit 73 (rate entry member count screen by rate).
Specifically, the number of players who have entered the game is displayed by lending rate for each period of “current day”, “current month”, and “current year”.
Thereby, the store clerk of the game hall can grasp how many players who have entered the store by rental rate.
As a result, it is possible to grasp a lending rate that is easy to use or difficult to use by entering.

(2) Counting Number of Players Entered by Type (By Ball / Medal) Further, the control unit 75 counts the number of players who have entered each type (by ball / medal).
Specifically, with reference to the player-by-player entry record database (FIG. 5A), the data for all players is totaled for each type (P / S-by-player count-up process). The totaled results are stored in the storage unit 72.
As shown in FIG. 8, the number of passengers for each type that has been tabulated and stored in this way can be confirmed via the display unit 73 (P / S separate member number screen).
In this way, the number of players who have entered the game is displayed for each type (by ball / medal) during each period of “current day”, “current month”, and “current year”.
Thereby, the store clerk of the amusement hall can grasp how many people have entered for each pachinko machine 10a and slot machine 10b.

(3) Counting Number of Players Entered for Each Gender and Number of Confirmed Number of Players Entering In addition, the control unit 75 counts the number of players who have entered the vehicle for each gender of the player.
Specifically, referring to the player-by-player entry record database (FIG. 5 (a)) and the member database, the data for all the players is totaled for each gender (gender-by-gender entry number totaling process). The totaled results are stored in the storage unit 72.

Further, the control unit 75 counts the number of players who have confirmed the intention to enter.
Specifically, referring to the player-by-player entry database (FIG. 5 (a)), the number of players in which “1” is stored in the “number of people accepted to enter” is counted (specific counting means), The number of players whose “1” is stored in “No Approved Number” is counted (special counting means) (entry intention confirmation number counting process).
Further, the control unit 75 refers to the member database and totals the number of players who have confirmed the intention to enter for each gender.

As shown in FIG. 9, the total number of persons entered and stored for each gender and the number of intention confirmations for each gender can be confirmed via the display unit 73 as shown in FIG. .
In this way, the number of players who confirmed their intentions to “get in” and “not to enter” in the respective periods of “the day”, “current month”, and “current year” Are displayed by gender. In addition, the number of players who have entered the game for each period of “current day”, “current month”, and “current year” are displayed by gender.
Thereby, the salesclerk of a game hall can grasp | ascertain the number of persons who did the intention confirmation which does not enter or does not enter for every sex. In addition, it is possible to grasp how many people have entered for each gender.

  In the above description, the number of players who have entered is counted and displayed for each rental rate (FIG. 7), for each type (by ball / medal) (FIG. 8), and for each gender (FIG. 9). Although described in the example, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the data may be counted and displayed in various units for each model, each game island, each manufacturer, and the like.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 10, the control part 75 can display the data memorize | stored in the replay log | history database via the display part 73 (replay list screen).
In the example shown in FIG. 10, for example, the member (medium ID: 0001) has a self-rate (ball 1) where “700” balls are initially stored at a predetermined date and time in the lending machine 20 installed in the 1-yen corner. By replaying three times from an account with a yen rate), you can withdraw "200" balls each, and the accumulated money in the account with a 1-yen rate after the withdrawal becomes "100", and "2000" “50” balls (number of withdrawals) are withdrawn from the account of the other rate that is stored (4 yen rate of balls), and “200” balls (number of usages) converted to 1 yen are paid out from the lending machine 20 An example is shown.
As a result, it is possible to clearly grasp which loan rate account has been used for saving.

In addition, although not shown in the figure, the “playing number” and “number of withdrawals” can be aggregated and displayed for each “entry withdrawal rate” on the replay list screen according to a predetermined operation.
Therefore, for each gaming machine 10, it is possible to grasp which loan rate account is easily used for entry.

  In the replay list screen, the game history by replay for each gaming machine 10 has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and there are various types for each type, for each model, for each game hall, for each rental rate, A replay game history may be displayed in units.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 11, the control part 75 can display the number of use for the day for every player (member) via the display part 73 for every rental rate (member list screen). .
For example, “number of balls used for 4 yen”, “number of balls used for 2 yen”, and “number of balls used for 1 yen” are displayed with reference to the player-by-player database.
In addition, the accumulated value of the number of use in a predetermined period is displayed for each lending rate.
For example, during a specified period (for example, one month), the cumulative value of game balls paid out by entering with the gaming machine 10 at the ball 4 yen rate is set as “number of balls 4 yen basic rally used”. In addition, during this designated period, the accumulated value of the game balls paid out by entering with the gaming machine 10 at the 1-yen ball rate is displayed as “number of used 1-yen basic rally ball”.
As a result, it is possible to grasp the cumulative number of used transfers paid out during each designated period for each lending rate.

Although not shown in the drawing, the number of game balls withdrawn from the stored balls due to entry (number of withdrawals) can be displayed for each lending rate on the member list screen.
In addition, the cumulative value of the number of game balls that have been withdrawn from the stored balls during the predetermined period (number of withdrawals) can be displayed for each loan rate (for example, “4 yen basic rally entry withdrawals”). ).

In addition, the member list screen may display a breakdown of the number of used passengers.
For example, if the number of “4 yen balls used” is “1000”, the number of balls actually withdrawn from the 2-yen account savings is “400” and actually withdrawn from the 1-yen account savings. It may be displayed that the number of balls is “600” balls.

So far, the configuration and operation of the gaming system and gaming device of the present embodiment have been described.
Next, characteristic operations executed by the gaming apparatus (hall computer 70) will be described based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. A program that can be executed by each control unit in a gaming apparatus such as the hall computer 70 is created based on these flowcharts and stored in each storage unit.

The flowchart shown in FIG. 12 is a “number-of-passengers counting process” executed in the hall computer 70.
In this process, first, when an operation relating to entry is performed in the lending machine 20 or the replay machine 60, information related to the replay of the stored ball (a stored ball replay signal, a medium ID, a lending rate, etc.) is stored via the stored ball management device 80. Receive (S10).
Based on this information, the player (member) corresponding to the medium ID uses which loan rate (entry withdrawal rate) account storage, and which loan rate (entry use rate) has entered. Specify (S11).

Next, it is determined whether or not the member has already withdrawn the stored ball from the account at the withdrawal rate during the business day (S12).
Specifically, it is determined whether or not a numerical value of “1” or more is stored in the “number of people withdrawn / withdrawn” item of the entry / withdrawal rate of the corresponding member with reference to the player-by-player entry record database.
As a result, when a numerical value equal to or greater than “1” is not stored (S12—NO), the “number of people withdrawn” is counted and stored (S13).
On the other hand, when a numerical value of “1” or more is stored (S12-YES), it is determined that the corresponding member has already withdrawn from the account with the withdrawal rate during the business day, Do not add +1 to the number of withdrawals.

Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the member has already made a transfer by paying out the stored balls at the transfer usage rate during the business day (S14).
Specifically, it is determined whether or not a numerical value of “1” or more is stored in the “number of passengers used” item of the entry usage rate of the corresponding member with reference to the player-by-player entry record database.
As a result, when a numerical value equal to or greater than “1” is not stored (S14—NO), the “number of passengers used” is counted by 1 and stored (S15).
On the other hand, when a numerical value of “1” or more is stored (S14-YES), it is determined that the corresponding member has already paid out the stored balls at the transfer usage rate during the day of operation, "+1 is not added.

The flowchart shown in FIG. 13 is a “number-of-passengers output process” executed in the hall computer 70.
In this process, first, it is determined whether or not the “storing ball” tab is selected on the storing ball management table screen displayed on the display unit 73 (S20).
If it is determined that the “storing ball” tab has been selected (S20—YES), it is determined whether the “by lending rate” button has been selected (S21). If it is determined that the “by lending rate” button has been selected (S21—YES), the number-of-passenger number-of-entry counting process is executed (S22).
The total results are stored in the game area-specific entry record database in the storage unit 72, and the "rate-by-rate entry number screen" is displayed on the display unit 73 (S23) (see FIG. 7).

On the other hand, when the “storing ball” tab is selected (S20-YES) and it is determined that the “by ball / medal” button has been selected (S21-NO, S24-YES), the P / S-by-passage number counting process is performed. It is executed (S25).
The totaling result is stored in the storage unit 72, and the "P / S separate member number screen" is displayed on the display unit 73 (S26) (see FIG. 8).

If it is determined that the “membership” tab has been selected on the storage management table screen (S27-YES), the number-of-peoples entry process according to gender is executed (S28), and the number-of-entry-entry confirmation person count process is further executed. (S29)
These tabulation results are stored in the storage unit 72, and the “participation intention confirmation member number screen” is displayed on the display unit 73 (S30) (see FIG. 9).

  In the above description, regarding a player who has been determined to have entered at least once during the business day of the day, even if it is determined that a new entry has been made, In order not to add “+1” to the value of “Today”, a method realized by managing the medium ID in the player-by-player entry database is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a player around the gaming machine 10 If a camera that can take a picture is installed and the member who has entered the camera is photographed with the camera, the photographed image is stored in the storage unit 72. “+1” is counted, and “+1” is added regardless of how many times the same member enters the same business day by other methods such as not adding “+1” if they match. It may not be.

[Other Embodiments]
In the above-described embodiment, the case where the gift exchange device 90, the entry confirmation terminal 110, and the information disclosure device 120 operate as intention confirmation means has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the replay machine 60 has an entry intention confirmation function. Thus, it may be operated as an intention confirmation means.

In this case, the operation display unit displays a screen for requesting confirmation of entry in response to insertion of a proper member card and input of a personal identification number, and accepts the player's input, whereby the prize exchange device 90 And the like.
In addition, in each lending machine with a counting function, each time a player plays a game on a different gaming machine 10, the intention confirmation is requested. That is, a member card is inserted into each lending machine with a counting function, and a request for confirmation of entry is made each time an entry operation is performed.

A prize exchange device 90 having a boarding intention confirmation function, a boarding confirmation terminal 110, an information disclosure device 120, a replay machine 60, and a lending machine with a function for counting each vehicle may be used in combination at the game hall.
In this case, if an operation for confirming the intention of entry is performed in any of the devices, information capable of specifying the player's intention confirmation is transmitted to the hall computer 70 via the storage management device 80, and the “entry intention setting flag” The “number of people approved for entry” and the “number of people not approved for entry” may be set. As a result, the player can be urged to enter various places in the game hall.
Or it is good also as a structure set only when operation of confirmation of the intention of boarding is operated with a specific apparatus (for example, prize exchange device 90, boarding confirmation terminal 110, information disclosure device 120).

  Also, not only the replay machine 60 and the lending machine 20, but also other game devices constituting the game system 1, not constituting the game system 1, for example, accepting the entry intention confirmation on the WEB service A gaming device such as a possible server device can also have a boarding intention confirmation function.

Further, in the above embodiment, even if it is determined that a player has entered at the same lending rate at least once during one business day, even if it is determined that a new entry has been made, the “number of withdrawals” and “ Although the description has been made assuming that the numerical value of “number of passengers used” is not “+1”, the present invention is not limited to this, and “number of people dropped in” and “number of passengers used” may be added each time a passenger enters.
In this case, it is counted as the “number of times” the player has entered, but for example, by counting the number of times of entry for each player, how many times each player has entered in one business day. You can know what you have done.
Furthermore, a predetermined period may be designated and the number of times each player has entered may be counted.

Further, in the above embodiment, even if the intention to enter is confirmed several times during one business day, the “number of people approved for entry” and the “number of people not approved for entry” are the first confirmation of the intention confirmation operated. Although the description has been made with the configuration in which “+1” is counted only occasionally, the present invention is not limited to this, and “+1” may be added to “number of people who are approved for entry” and “number of people who are not approved for entry” each time confirmation of entry is made. .
In this case, it is counted as the “number of times” that the intention has been confirmed. For example, for each player, by counting the “number of people approved for entry” and “number of people not approved for entry”, one business day It is possible to grasp how many times each player has confirmed his intention.

In addition, by setting the “Number of Unapproved Number of Players” item that indicates the number of players who have not yet confirmed their intention to enter during the day (one business day) in the player-by-player entry database, for example, In the “intention confirmation member count screen”, the “number of people who have not been approved” or the ratio of “number of people who have not been approved” and “the number of players whose intention has already been confirmed” may be displayed.
In addition, the display of “Number of players whose intention has already been confirmed” is the sum of the number of players who have confirmed their intention to enter and the number of players who have confirmed their intention to not enter. May be displayed.

As described above, according to the gaming apparatus and the program of the present embodiment, the gaming medium acquired in the gaming machine 10 associated with the first lending rate (entry withdrawal rate, other rate) is pulled out, and the first For each rental rate, the number of players who have entered the game machine 10 is assigned to each of the rental rates by paying out game media in the gaming machine 10 associated with a second loan rate (a use rate, own rate) different from the one loan rate. And output the result.
As a result, it is possible to grasp the number of players who have taken out and entered the storage balls from the accounts of the respective loan rates, and the number of players who have paid out at the respective loan rates using the drawn storage balls.
As a result, the game shop clerk can grasp the lending rate that is easy to use and the lending rate that is difficult to use.
Thereby, it can be used as useful information when setting the game machine 10 and each device in the amusement hall, or when setting the game machine sales strategy such as when setting various setting data.
For example, in a rental rate with a large number of “number of passengers to be used” and “number of people to be withdrawn”, it can be useful as a judgment material when selecting the game corner of this loan rate or the addition or continuation of installation of the gaming machine 10 of the loan rate. Further, it can be useful as a judgment material when setting the internal set values (1 to 6) set in the slot machine 10b.
Also, by providing the entry confirmation terminal 110 and the information disclosure device 120 near the gaming corner of the rental rate with a large “number of passengers to be used”, it is possible to provide an environment that makes it easy for players to enter the game. Can do.
In addition, with respect to a loan rate with a small “number of passengers used” and “number of people withdrawn”, the processing load on the storage management device 80 and the hall computer 70 can be reduced by stopping the entry function.

On the other hand, in the conventional gaming device, the number of players who have played a game by moving to a gaming machine with a different lending rate is counted per unit time in a game hall where gaming machines with different lending rates are arranged. There was something to do.
However, in such a gaming device, although the number of players who have moved to a gaming machine with a different lending rate can be grasped, the game medium acquired with the gaming machine with the lending rate before moving can be used to The number of players who played with a machine with a loan rate of could not be ascertained. That is, it was impossible to grasp the number of players who entered.
For this reason, sufficient information could not be obtained as information for each lending rate to be used for a business strategy of the amusement hall.
According to the gaming device and the program of the present embodiment, all or part of such problems that the conventional gaming device should improve can be solved.
