Description

  The present invention relates to a game hall management system.

  In recent years, gambling addiction has been seen as a major problem, and each amusement arcade is about to take various measures as a countermeasure. For example, Patent Document 1 describes that a player who is immersed in a game is detected based on the player's game time and the degree of losing, and the player is prompted to refrain from playing the game. However, it is difficult to figure out how effective the above measures are actually because it is up to the player's individual intention to actually refrain from playing the game at that time. There was a situation. Moreover, as a result of tackling such addiction measures for a certain period of time, it was difficult to realize whether or not they had recovered from addiction.

JP 10-151265 A

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and its purpose is to objectively grasp whether or not it has recovered from addiction as a result of tackling the addiction measures implemented by the game hall side. The object is to provide a management system for a game arcade that can be used.

  In the game hall management system, it is possible to compare the game data before the start of the measures against addiction measures with the game data after the end of the efforts, so whether or not the results of the efforts have appeared. Can be determined based on an objective basis.

The control unit 20 of the counting / lending unit 2 is mainly configured by a microcomputer having a CPU 20a, a ROM 20b, a RAM 20c, an I / O 20d, and the like. The peripheral unit connected to the control unit 20 includes the state display unit 21, the liquid crystal display unit 24, and the payout button 25, and transmits / receives various signals and various information to / from the management device 6 and the gaming machine 1. The I / F unit 20e, the bill processing unit 22a for determining the authenticity of the bill inserted into the bill insertion slot 22, the touch panel 24a provided on the liquid crystal display unit 24, and the cards 9 and 10 inserted into the card insertion slot 28 When a card RW (reader / writer) 28a for reading and writing various stored information, a card stock unit 28b capable of stocking up to 10 general cards 9, and a payout button 25 are operated once. A payout unit 25a for paying out the balls from the payout nozzle 26, a counting unit 29a for counting the number of balls flowing in from the counting tray 29, and the like are included. On the other hand, four cameras 23 are connected to the image processing device 30 as shown in FIG. 1 without being connected to the control unit 20. The image processing device 30 is connected to the management device 6 via the LAN 5.

  The general card 9 is a card that is valid only on the day and has an IC chip 9a built therein. The IC chip 9a stores a general ID that can identify a card, and stores the deposit balance and the number of balls that have been deposited in the counting lending unit 2. The number of balls in the general card 9 is valid only on that day, and the deposit balance can be used from the next day.

  The membership card 10 is a card that is valid until a preset expiration date (for example, three years), and includes an IC chip 10a. The IC chip 10a stores a member ID that can identify a player who has registered as a member, and stores a deposit balance. The number of possessed balls and the number of stored balls corresponding to the member card 10 are stored in the member account of the management device 6. The number of possessed balls, the number of stored balls, and the deposit balance of the membership card 10 are usable from the next day.

The counting lending unit 2 has the following functions.
(1) When a bill inserted into the bill insertion slot 22 in a state where the cards 9 and 10 are not inserted is received (when a currency acceptance process is performed), the general card 9 stored in the card stock portion 28b is fed to the card RW 28a. The deposit amount (1000 yen unit) is stored, and the deposit amount (deposit balance) is displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 24. At this time, since the number of times (500 yen) is 125 balls in a pachinko machine with a lending unit price of 4 yen, the frequency corresponding to the deposit balance may be displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 24.

(2) A lending process for lending a ball corresponding to the number of times within the range of the deposit balance from the payout mechanism inside the gaming machine 1 is performed in accordance with the operation (lending operation) of the lending button 13a of the gaming machine 1.
(3) The balls that have fallen from the lower tray 14 of the gaming machine 1 and received by the counting tray 29 flow into the counting section 29a to count the balls, and the liquid crystal display section displays the counted number of balls as the counted number of balls. 24.
(4) Depending on the operation of the payout button 25, the payout mechanism pays out one by one within the range of the number of balls (number of balls) or the number of balls (in the case of a member player).

(5) In accordance with the operation of the return button 13b of the gaming machine 1, the deposit balance and the number of possessions are stored in the general card 9 inserted in the card insertion slot 28 and issued. When the member card 10 is inserted, the deposit balance is stored in the member card 10 and issued. If no card 9 or 10 is inserted in the card insertion slot 28, the general card 9 stocked in the card stock portion 28b is fed to the card RW 28a by a recording medium moving means (not shown), and the card 9 is deposited. The balance and the number of balls are stored and issued.
When both the deposit balance and the number of possessed balls become “0”, the general card 9 set in the card RW 28a is collected in the card stock unit 28b by the recording medium moving means. When the card 9 in the card stock unit 28b runs out, the status display unit 21 indicates an error state, and when the employee replenishes the card 9 from the insertion slot 28, the normal state is restored.

  (6) When the general card 9 is inserted into the card insertion slot 28, the deposit balance and the number of possessed balls stored in the general card 9 are read out by the card RW 28a and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 24. When the membership card 10 is inserted, the deposit balance stored in the membership card 10 is read out and displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 24, and the number of possessed balls is received from the management device 6 and displayed. The number of stored balls is received from the management device 6 on the condition of input and displayed.

The control unit 20 of the counting lending unit 2 (hereinafter, abbreviated as “counting lending unit 2” as appropriate) has a function of transmitting the following signals to the management device 6 side in addition to the functions described above.
Sales signal: A signal indicating the amount of money used for lending balls (the amount of money used).
-Savings payout signal: A signal indicating the number of paying out balls when using the savings card with the member card 10.
Card issuance signal: A signal indicating the deposit balance and the number of balls stored in the corresponding cards 9 and 10 when the above-described issuance processing (return processing) of the cards 9 and 10 is performed.

  The camera 23 of the counting / renting unit 2 captures images at predetermined intervals (for example, every 4 seconds), and transmits the captured images to the image processing device 30. The imaging field of view of the camera 23 is set so as to be an area including the player's face when the player is facing the gaming machine 1.

  The image processing apparatus 30 captures each image transmitted from the four cameras 23 at intervals of 1 second, and analyzes the captured image to determine whether or not a player's face image exists in the image. If it is determined that the face image exists, the face image is transmitted to the management device 6. In this regard, even if a player is included in the image transmitted from the camera 23, if the player is playing in an unnatural posture, for example, by facing an unnatural direction, the image processing apparatus 30 Since the face image cannot be recognized, the image may not be transmitted to the management apparatus 6 in some cases.

  The management apparatus 6 that has received the face image from the image processing apparatus 30 performs the same person determination and the person who needs attention. In the same person determination, the received face image is subjected to image processing such as feature point extraction, and is compared with the face image already registered in the face image database on the current day to determine whether or not they are the same person. . If it is determined that the collated face image is a face image that is not yet registered in the face image database (that is, a new player), the face ID is assigned and registered in the face image database of the day, and the face ID is added to the game. Store in association with data. On the other hand, if it is determined that the face image is a face image already registered in the face image database (that is, a known player), game data associated with the face ID is updated. In the attention person determination, the face image and the face image registered in the attention database are collated to determine whether the face image of the same person is registered in the attention database. When it is determined that the face image of the same person is registered in the caution database, the game hall employee is notified by an income device (not shown), for example, that the caution person has visited the store.

  The control unit 60 of the management device 6 shown in FIG. 3 (hereinafter abbreviated as “management device 6” as appropriate) is mainly composed of a microcomputer, and includes a storage unit 60a such as a ROM and a RAM, an I / O, and the like. The operation is performed according to the control program stored in the storage unit 60a. The management device 6 manages various game data based on the various game signals transmitted from the gaming machine 1 and the counting / lending unit 2 (see FIG. 7B and the like described later).

  By the way, as described in “Prior Art”, the amusement hall is also taking measures against the problem of gambling dependence in recent years. However, even if, for example, a player who is engaged in a game is detected and the player is prompted to refrain from playing the game, whether or not the game is actually refrained at that time can only be left to the individual player's intention. Therefore, there is a situation that it is difficult to grasp how much the countermeasures are actually effective. In addition, there is a situation where it is difficult to realize whether or not the patient has recovered from the dependence as a result of working on such countermeasures for a certain period of time.

  Therefore, in the gaming hall management system 100 according to the present embodiment, not only the game data indicating the game situation of each player is managed, but also registered as a subject for the addiction countermeasures based on the declaration from the player. It is configured to include a registration means and an exclusion means for excluding the player from the target person, and a period before the game data is registered as the target person and a period after being excluded from the target person by the exclusion means, It is possible to objectively grasp whether or not it has recovered from the addiction by the result of the aggregation. Regarding the configuration of the game hall management system 100, refer to the drawings in FIG. 4 and subsequent figures in the order of “1. Setting and warning processing of game restrictions in the counting lending unit” and “2. Management of game data in the management device”. While explaining.

<1. Game limit setting and warning processing in counting loan unit>
It is assumed that the player has completed membership registration at the amusement hall in advance, and inserts the membership card 10 possessed by the player into the card insertion slot 28 of the counting lending unit 2 and plays the game with the corresponding gaming machine 1.

  In this case, the counting / renting unit 2 displays the screen 41 shown in FIG. This screen 41 includes a column 41a indicating the type (lending unit price) and the number of units granted, a column 41b indicating the type (member / general) of the cards 9 and 10 being inserted, a guidance display area 41c, a deposit balance and the number of coins. A column 41d is provided.

  Further, in this case, when the player displays a menu screen (not shown) by touching the screen 41 and selects “game restriction” on the menu screen, the counting lending unit 2 displays the screen 51 shown in FIG. Transition to. Note that screens 51 to 54 in FIG. 5 indicate screen transitions in the guidance display area 41c portion of the liquid crystal display unit 24.

  The screen 51 of FIG. 5 is provided with a “game restriction” button 51a and an “end” button 51c. The “game restriction” button 51a is a button for setting a game restriction, and the “end” button 51c is a button for returning to the menu screen. The count lending unit 2 transitions to the next screen 52 when the “game restriction” button 51a is touch-operated.

  In the screen 52 of FIG. 5, a column 52a for displaying the upper limit value of the usage amount, a “complete” button 52b, and a “return” button 52c are provided. In this case, the counting / lending unit 2 displays a numeric keypad (not shown) in a display area other than the display area 41c of the screen 52 in the liquid crystal display unit 24, and accepts an upper limit value of the usage amount according to the touch operation of the numeric keypad. . At this time, the count lending unit 2 can arbitrarily set the upper limit value of the usage amount as a game restriction condition within a range of a predetermined value (for example, 10,000 yen) or more. The count lending unit 2 transitions to the next screen 53 when the “complete” button 52b is touch-operated after accepting the upper limit value of the usage amount, and returns to the previous screen 51 when the “return” button 52c is touch-operated. Return.

  In the next screen 53 shown in FIG. 5, a column 53a for displaying the upper limit value of the accepted usage amount and a “confirm” button 53b are provided. When the “confirm” button 53b is touched by the player, the count lending unit 2 sends information related to the set game restrictions (that is, whether or not there are game restrictions and the upper limit value of the usage amount) to the management device 6 together with the member ID. Send and return to the menu screen. As described above, the touch panel 24a, the liquid crystal display unit 24, and the control unit 20 in the counting / renting unit 2 correspond to a game restriction condition setting unit capable of setting a game restriction condition in accordance with a player's touch operation.

  Further, the management device 6 stores the information related to the game restriction received from the counting / lending unit 2 in the storage unit 60a thereof in association with the member ID (see FIG. 6B). In other words, the management device 6 stores the presence / absence of a game restriction according to the operation input of the “game restriction” button 51a in the counting lending unit 2, and uses it according to the operation input in the display column 52a for the upper limit value of the amount used. Store the upper limit of the amount. It is to be noted that information relating to game restrictions managed by the management device 6 is registered by performing self-declaration at the time of member registration, which will be described later, or when the player performs operation input on the screens 51 to 53 of the counting / lending unit 2 again. Alternatively, it can be overwritten and updated.

  Thereafter, when the management device 6 determines that the actual amount of money used by the player has reached the upper limit (the game data satisfies a preset game restriction condition), A warning is issued in the corresponding counting lending unit 2 so as to suppress the continuation.

  Specifically, the player who has set the upper limit of the amount of money to be used in the counting lending unit 2 to 30,000 yen, sequentially inserts 30,000 yen banknotes into the banknote insertion slot 22 as the game progresses, It is assumed that the number of balls has been consumed by the lending process (the loan amount has reached 30,000 yen). At this time, if the management device 6 determines that the total usage amount of the player has reached the upper limit of 30000 yen based on the game signal from the gaming machine side, the lending unit 2 (game limiting means) When the operation is performed, a warning process for issuing a warning to the player is executed.

  As shown in the screen 54 of FIG. 5, the warning process includes, together with the upper limit usage amount “30000 yen”, a warning message indicating that the upper limit has been reached and prompting the end of the game, The game is restricted. Thus, the liquid crystal display unit 24 displays a game restriction condition display means for displaying the game restriction conditions set by the counting lending unit 2 on the screens 53 and 54, and a warning message for the player in accordance with the execution of the warning process. It functions as a warning display means that can be displayed on the screen 54. The warning process is ended by touching the “confirm” button 54a on the screen 54 (returns to the menu screen).

  In addition, after the usage amount reaches the upper limit value, the count lending unit 2 executes a warning process for every 10,000 yen in the game of the same day. In other words, when the upper limit value for performing the warning process first set by the player is “α” 10,000 yen and the number of executions of the warning process is “n” times, the usage amount (a plurality of upper limit values “ β (10,000 yen) is expressed by the following equation (1).

β = α + (n−1) (1)
In this way, the warning process is to act as a countermeasure against dependence on the player by the warning message, suppressing the continuation of the game or limiting the game, but whether or not the game is actually continued at that time. It is up to the player's will. Therefore, as a player, a case where the member card 10 is ejected from the insertion slot 28 by operating the return button 13b after the warning process and the game is terminated, or the game is continued as it is.

<2. Management of game data on the management device>
6 to 8 show game data managed by the management device 6 and can be displayed on the monitor 6m and printed on a printing device (not shown).

  Here, FIG. 6A shows the member attribute data of one player. The member attribute data includes “name”, “gender”, “age”, “profession”, “address”, and “e-mail address (e-mail address of a mobile terminal, abbreviated as mobile mail in the figure)” of the player who registered as a member, The information is stored in the storage unit 60 a of the management device 6 in association with the member ID “member No.”. Such member attribute data is input to the management device 6 based on, for example, a member registration form (that is, self-declaration using a sheet (not shown)) entered by the player when the member is registered in advance at the game hall.

  FIG. 6B shows a part of the addiction countermeasure target person data. As shown in the figure (b), the addiction countermeasure target person data includes, for example, a “game restriction condition” expressed by the upper limit of the amount of money used, such as 30000 yen, and “registration date” and “end” as the target person. Day "and is stored in the storage unit 60a of the management device 6 in association with the member ID. The registration of the member ID in the addiction countermeasure target data is performed by the management apparatus 6 with the date when the self-report indicating that the addiction countermeasure is desired is accepted at the time of member registration as the “registration date”. As described above, the management device 6 (registration means) registers the player in the list of FIG. 5B as a subject for the addiction countermeasure based on the declaration from the player.

  Note that when the management device 6 determines that the player is a member who is not registered in the list at the time when the operation input related to the game restriction in the counting lending unit 2 is performed, the operation input is determined as a game. Of course, it may be registered in the list on the date (registration date) at that time as a result of the declaration of the person. In other words, whether or not there is a game restriction can be set by a declaration at the time of member registration or an operation on the counting lending unit 2.

  In addition, the “game restriction condition” in FIG. 6B is the upper limit value of the usage amount accepted in response to the self-declaration at the time of member registration or the operation input in the counting lending unit 2. This game restriction condition is arbitrarily set by the player within a range not less than the predetermined value as a condition for executing the warning process.

  Furthermore, when the management device 6 (exclusion means) reports that the addiction countermeasure is terminated from a player registered as a target person at the game hall, the date when the management device 6 accepts the declaration. Is registered as the “end date”. Thus, in the target data for two players illustrated in FIG. 6 (b), for one player (No. 2 player), the game is completed in two months based on the self-declaration to end the addiction countermeasures. The player is excluded from the target person, and the other player (No. 1 player) is continuously managed as a target person with game restriction conditions. In addition, the “report from the player” is a notification that the countermeasure device is terminated on the display unit 24 of the count lending unit 2 in addition to the case where the management device 6 accepts it through an amusement hall employee or the like. An acceptance screen (not shown) may be displayed and excluded from the target person by an input operation on the acceptance screen for the declaration.

  FIG. 7A shows member possession value data of one player. The member-owned value data includes “payment balance”, “number of balls”, “number of balls” owned by the member, and is stored in the storage unit 60a of the management device 6 in association with the member ID of the player. The management device 6 updates the member possession value data based on the sales signal, the card issuance signal, and the like according to the game of the player who uses the member card 10.

  FIG. 7B shows game data indicating the game situation of the player, and shows member game history data that is aggregated and stored for all players registered as members. The member game history data is based on the game machine for the “use amount”, “injected ball number”, “paid-out ball number”, “hit number”, “number of runners” in the “gaming machine number” where the player played the game. 1 is stored in the storage unit 60a of the management device 6 in association with the time (game time) of “game start” and “game end” at 1. The member game history data includes data of a “game restriction” flag indicating whether or not the warning process is executed.

  As illustrated in FIG. 5B, the player can insert a banknote worth 3,000 yen into the banknote slot 22 during a game from “10:15” to “12:23” on “Game Machine No.123”. After sequentially throwing in and consuming the corresponding number of balls through the lending process, the vehicle is moving with the number of balls held of 1240. As described above, when the warning process is not executed in the gaming machine No. 123, the management device 6 associates the game restriction flag “0” with the “game end” in the gaming machine No. 123. Store as member game history data.

  In addition, the player starts the game from “12:28” on “Machine Machine No. 125” that has moved to the base, and after first consuming all the 1240 possessions earned by Game Machine No. 123, Bills of 27,000 yen are sequentially inserted into the bill insertion slot 22, and the number of balls is consumed by the lending process. As a result, when the usage amount reaches the upper limit of 30000 yen and the warning processing is executed in the counting lending unit 2, the management device 6 stores the game limit data “1” in association with the member game history data. , Create a new record (migrate to a new record).

  Furthermore, the player continues playing the game after the first warning process is executed on the same machine No. 125, and consumes an additional 10,000 yen for “16:27” through the lending process. Therefore, the second warning process is executed (see the game restriction flag “1” in the figure).

  As described above, the management device 6 (data totaling means) shifts to a new record in accordance with the execution of the warning process in the counting lending unit 2, and after the warning process is executed, The figure (b) (10000 yen) can be tabulated separately from the amount of money used before the warning process is executed (3000 yen and 27000 yen in the same (b)).

  FIG.7 (c) has shown the member game total data which totaled the member game log | history data of FIG.7 (b) for every business day. The management device 6 obtains a total value of “use amount”, “number of balls to be placed”, “number of balls to be paid out”, and “number of jackpots” for the member game total data on the business day, and history of the “game limit” flag Based on the above, the total value of the number of executions of warning processing is obtained.

  FIG. 8A shows member game period comparison data. The member game period comparison data is based on the game data of a player registered as a target person, the period before registration [1] and the period during registration (registration period after registration) [2] [3 And the period [4] after being excluded from the subject. Specifically, the management device 6 uses the date registered as the target person and the date excluded from the target person (see “Registration Date” and “End Date” in FIG. 6B) before the registration date. Game data for one month, monthly game data during the registration period, and game data for one month after the additivity countermeasure end date are tabulated separately.

  Therefore, in the example of Fig. 8 (a), the aggregation period [1] before the registration date "2017/3/1" of the subject person and the aggregation period [2] of "2017/3/1 to 4/30" [2 ] And [3], and the counting period [4] after the end date “2017/4/30”, and the presence or absence of the “game restriction” (or a blank “-” indicating exclusion) Thus, the “game days”, “game time”, “use amount”, “average amount”, “balance” and “recovery” of the target person at the game hall are represented.

  Of these, “use amount” is the total use amount for each aggregation period [1] to [4], and “average amount” is the average use amount (“use amount” divided by “number of game days”) Equivalent to the amount of money used / number of game days). “Balance” corresponds to the balance amount of the target person in each of the counting periods [1] to [4] (holding money × exchange unit price−sales amount). “Recovery” is the value obtained by dividing the “average amount” in the aggregation period [2] to [4] after the registration date by the “average amount” in the aggregation period [1] before the registration date. Average price after date / average price before registration date).

  In FIG. 8 (a), the average amount of the aggregation period [2] [3] after the registration date is lower than the average amount of the aggregation period [1] before the registration date. For this reason, the degree of recovery in the counting period [2] [3] is also less than 1 (0.75 and 0.74), respectively, and it can be said that the effect of countermeasures for addiction appears. In addition, it can be seen that the recovery value (0.67) is further improved in the counting period [4] after the end of the addiction measures. As described above, the management device 6 displays the output of the tabulation results divided for each of the tabulation periods [1] to [4] by the output means such as the monitor 6m or the printing device so that the comparison is possible. It is possible to grasp the effects of measures against addiction with objective and specific numerical values.

  Furthermore, the management device 6 aggregates and stores all member game restriction setting data shown in FIG. All-member game limit setting data includes the number of players set as “game limit” in the “total number of members” registered at the game hall, the “game limit ratio” of the total number of members, and the amount of usage And “average upper limit” representing the average of the values set as the upper limit.

  As described above, in the gaming hall management system 100 according to the present embodiment, the game data of the period [1] before the start of the countermeasures against addiction measures and the period [4] of the period after the end of the actions are taken. Since it can be compared with game data, it can be determined based on an objective basis whether or not the results of the efforts have appeared.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and may be modified or expanded as follows, or may be combined with the above-described embodiments, or may be combined with each of the modified examples.

  The member game period comparison data including the “game time”, “use amount”, and “balance” amount shown in FIG. 8A is configured to be aggregated. However, at least these game time, use amount, and balance are included as game data. You may make it the structure which totals any one among moneys.

  The aggregation period of the member game period comparison data is the period [1] to [4] according to the category in the figure, and the aggregation period of the member game aggregation data and all member game restriction setting data is based on business days. The total period or the division period is not limited to this. For example, it is possible to tabulate or classify an appropriate period such as a weekly unit, a monthly unit, or a yearly unit.

  In addition, a configuration has been added in which game data of a player with a game restriction condition (that is, a restricted player) is aggregated separately from game data of a player with no game restriction condition (that is, an unrestricted player). May be. For example, how much difference occurs between each player by summarizing game data such as the amount of money spent per day and the number of shots to be distinguished between restricted and non-restricted players? Can be grasped.

  Although the setting of whether or not there is a game restriction is made at the player's own intention, it may be configured such that the game hall side can make a setting with a game restriction for a specific player regardless of the intention. .

  In this case, it is desirable that the game restriction is automatically set when the game situation of the player becomes a predetermined situation. Specifically, for example, when the management device 6 determines that the sum of the daily usage amount has reached 30,000 yen for three consecutive days, it automatically sets a game restriction for the player, A configuration may be adopted in which the reached date is registered as a registration date (see FIG. 6).

Similarly, the game restriction may be released by adding a configuration that can be automatically performed by the management device 6 when the game situation of the player becomes a predetermined situation.
Although the upper limit of the amount of money to be used was set as a game restriction condition, the content of the game restriction condition is not limited to this, and any condition can be set as long as it is a condition to be regarded as an addiction May be. For example, a threshold value that defines a predetermined range can be set as a game restriction condition for the length of game time and the amount of money. Moreover, not only one type of game restriction condition but two or more types of game restriction conditions may be set.

  As a game restriction warning process, a warning message or the like is displayed on the display unit 24 of the count lending unit 2, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, instead of the warning message, when the management device 6 detects that the game restriction condition is satisfied, a process for notifying the employee through the income device is performed. It is also possible to call out.

  The type of game data calculated on the management device 6 side is not limited to this embodiment, and various types of game data can be obtained based on various game signals received from the gaming machine 1, the counting lending unit 2, or the like. It is possible to ask.

  In the counting lending unit 2, the game data when the member card 10 is actually used is stored as data for countermeasures against addiction, but the game when playing without using the member card 10 Even if it is data, when it can discriminate | determine as the same member by the said face ID, you may make it memorize | store as data on dependence countermeasures (game data of the same member).

  Although the camera 23 is provided integrally with the counting lending unit 2, the position of the camera 23 may be any position as long as the player's face can be imaged, and does not need to be integrated with the counting lending unit 2. The liquid crystal display unit 24 and the touch panel 24a of the counting / renting unit 2 are provided at positions corresponding to the respective gaming machines 1, and function as the above-described game restriction condition setting means, game restriction condition display means, or warning display means. However, each of these means may be replaced with a device separate from the unit 2.

  One relay device 4 is provided for each of two gaming machines 1, but the correspondence between the relay device 4 and the gaming machine 1 is not limited to this. The ratio of the number of relay devices 4 and gaming machines 1 may be 3 to 1 or 4 to 1. Similarly, the image processing apparatus 30 is not limited to one corresponding relationship with the four cameras 23.

The gaming machine 1 may be an enclosed gaming machine that does not pay out gaming media and performs addition storage as electronic data. Moreover, it is not limited to a pachinko machine but may be a slot machine, for example.
Each numerical value described above is an example, and it is needless to say that any numerical value may be adopted, for example, a predetermined value (threshold value) of the upper limit value is set to an appropriate value according to the lending unit price. In addition, regarding “memory”, “record”, and “registration” in the above description, for example, “memory” in the storage unit 60a of the management device 6 is referred to as “registration”, and the same meaning is understood. can do.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, 2 is a counting lending unit (game limiting means, game limiting condition setting means), 6 is a management device (registration means, exclusion means, data totaling means), and 24 is a liquid crystal display (game limiting conditions). Setting means, game restriction condition display means, warning display means), 24a is a touch panel (game restriction condition setting means), and 100 is a game hall management system.
