The present invention relates to a playground system.

Since there are multiple managers with different managers, managers, owners, etc. in the amusement park, and there may be game information for which viewing restrictions are desired depending on the manager, for example, authentication processing is performed at login as in Patent Document 1. There is also a playground system to do.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-169306

If you log in in this way, there is a need for some administrators to check different game information even for the same form, so it is possible to customize the game information items to be output for each ID. ..

However, when the items are customized for each ID, for example, the items corresponding to the abnormalities that occur when confirming that an abnormality has occurred are excluded from the customized form or are placed in places that are difficult to confirm. It may be difficult to confirm the abnormality.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game field system capable of appropriately confirming an abnormality even if the items of game information in a form can be customized.

According to the invention of claim 1, the form to be normally displayed is displayed with the user-specific setting items customized according to the user information at the time of login, but the notification form to be activated according to the specific result is the form to be normally displayed. Is displayed with different common notification items, so even if the game information item of the normal form can be customized, it is possible to appropriately confirm the abnormality.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing the overall configuration of the amusement park system. A plurality of types of game machines 1 are installed in the game hall A, and a game device 2 is installed corresponding to each game machine 1. Two of these game machines 1 and two game devices 2 are connected to the relay device 3, and the relay device 3 is connected to the management device 5 (management means, storage means, abnormality identifying means, display means, game information identifying means via LAN4). , S range management means, lower limit S range specifying means, upper limit S range specifying means, abnormality notification means, own store management means, first standard specifying means, second standard specifying means, abnormality notification means, suppressing means) There is.

A POS and a balance settlement machine (not shown) are also installed in the amusement park A, and these POS and the balance settlement machine are also connected to the management device 5 via the LAN 4. Although not shown in FIG. 1, a large number (for example, several hundreds) of game machines 1 are actually managed by the management device 5.

The management device 5 is installed in, for example, an office in the game hall A, and is connected to a keyboard 6, a monitor 7 (display means), a printer (not shown), and the like operated by the manager of the game hall. By inputting a game signal output from the game machine side (game machine 1, game device 2, etc.), the management device 5 receives game information for each game machine 1, personal information for each member registered as a member, and a game machine. It manages the operating state of 1 and the game device 2.

In the game field system, the above-mentioned game machine 1, game device 2, relay device 3, LAN 4, management device 5, and the like are installed in another game field (game field B, game field C in the example of FIG. 1). The same configuration as that of the game hall A is adopted. Each management device 5 installed in each of the amusement parks A to C is connected to a server 9 installed separately from each of the amusement parks A to C via a public line 8 such as the Internet or a VPN connection. It is configured so that various signals and various information can be communicated with the server 9 via a public line 8 or the like.

The game machine 1 is a CR (card reader) pachinko machine, and has an operation handle 11, an upper tray 12, and a lower tray 13 that constitute a launching device that launches a ball on the board 10, and a liquid crystal display unit 14 on the board 10. , A general drawing winning opening 15, a first starting opening 16, a second starting opening 17, a large winning opening 18, and the like.
The game machine 1 operates as shown below.

(1) The first starting port 16 is a winning opening (so-called navel winning opening) in which the winning rate does not fluctuate, and the second starting opening 17 is a winning opening (so-called electric chew) in which the winning rate fluctuates. A big hit lottery is performed according to the prizes (starting prizes) to the starting ports 16 and 17, and the lottery result is notified by the symbol variation (operating state in which the accessory is operated) performed on the liquid crystal display unit 14, and the variation result is notified. Depending on the situation, it becomes a big hit and the symbol fluctuation stops (the accessory is stopped and stopped).

(2) If a start prize is won during a symbol change, the symbol change is cumulatively held up to a predetermined holding upper limit value (for example, 4 each), and the held symbol change is started after the symbol change is completed. If the starting prize is won while the number of pending symbol fluctuations (number of pending symbols) is the upper limit, the symbol fluctuations are not suspended.

(3) FIG. 2 illustrates a spec value related to the winning probability (big hit probability) of the big hit lottery. As shown in the figure, the "big hit probability" is defined for the normal game state (normal state) and the probability change, which are neither the probability change state (probability change) nor the big hit, and the "continuation number" is the probability change after the big hit. The value related to the number of times the jackpot continues, such as the probability variation rate, which is the ratio of the jackpot (probability variation jackpot), is specified.

(4) When a big hit occurs, the big winning opening 18 is opened by the corresponding round (R). The maximum number of winnings in 1R is 10, the maximum opening period is 30 seconds, and 1R ends when either the maximum number of winnings or the maximum opening period is satisfied. The corresponding round is also drawn in the same way as the big hit lottery, and the distribution rate is 10% for 2R, 51% for 4R and 39% for 15R when the first starting port 16 is won, but the second starting port 17 In the case of, 4R is 10% and 15R is 90%, and the priority of pending digestion of the symbol change according to the winning is set higher in the second starting port 17 than in the first starting port 16.

(5) During the probability change, the jackpot probability is improved and the winning rate of the second starting port 17 is increased, resulting in a time saving state (time saving). Since the probability change continues until the next big hit, it continues until a big hit (normal big hit) that becomes a normal state occurs, and then the time is shortened until a predetermined number of time reductions (for example, 100 times) is performed.

(6) The second starting opening 17 is in an open state with a high winning rate when a normal symbol (general figure) that fluctuates according to the winning of the general drawing winning opening 15 is hit. In this case, the fluctuation period of one normal figure is 30 seconds in the normal state and 3 seconds in the time saving state. Further, the opening period is 0.3 seconds in the normal state and 5 seconds in the time saving state. That is, in the short time state, the fluctuation period of the normal map is shorter than that in the normal state, while the opening period is longer, so that the winning rate of the second starting port 17 is higher. The above description has been made using the model A as an example, but the illustrated values are various values depending on the model, for example, in the case of the model B, the round distribution is different.

The game machine 1 and the peripheral devices attached to the game machine 1 output the game signals shown below as the game progresses, such as the player driving a ball and starting a prize at each of the starting ports 16 and 17. ..
-Out signal = A signal (operation signal) that can identify the consumption value (out (operation information indicating the operation status of the game machine)) output from the out BOX that collects the consumed balls. Since one pulse is output for every 10 consumed (used, driven, collected) balls, "the number of out signals x 10" is specified as out. It may be a signal output from the game machine side.

-Safe signal = A signal output from the game machine that can identify the winning value (safe). Since one pulse is output for every 10 balls paid out according to the winning, "safe signal number x 10" is specified as safe. The replenishment signal output from the replenishment device may be used as a safe signal. In addition, there are an actual safe signal that is output when the ball is actually paid out and a winning safe signal that is output when the payout is reserved according to the winning, but in order to minimize the time lag from winning to output. It is desirable to adopt the latter.

-Start signal = Start processing (design variation, accessory operation, unit game) and start (start) in the liquid crystal display unit 14 (feature) that fluctuates (operates) according to the start prize (S prize) output from the game machine side. A signal that can specify the number of processes). Since it is output when the symbol fluctuation is confirmed, the start process is specified according to the signal input.

-S winning signal = A signal output from the game machine side that can identify the S winning. Since it is output at the time of starting prize, the starting winning is specified according to the signal input. In addition, it is possible to manage only one of the start and the S prize, and the like.
-Big hit signal = A signal that can specify the big hit period output from the game machine side. Since the level is output during the jackpot, the jackpot signal input is specified as the jackpot.

-Special state signal = A signal that can identify the special state (sweet) output from the game machine side. Since the level is output during the special state (during the time reduction (including the probability change)) in which the winning rate of the second starting port 17 is improved, the special state signal input is specified as the special state. It may be a state signal (probability variation signal) whose level is output during the probability variation in which the jackpot probability is improved. In addition, the period during which neither the jackpot signal nor the special state signal is input is specified as the normal state.

The game device 2 is a so-called lending machine with a counting function for each machine, and has a status indicator 19 indicating the state of the game device, the game machine, etc., a money slot 20 into which money (money value, valuable value) is inserted, Touch panel type liquid crystal display 21 that accepts input operations from the player and displays game information such as the number of symbol fluctuations (number of starts) and jackpot probability as the game progresses, and holding balls (including stored balls if a member) , Acquisition value, valuable value) payout button 22, payout nozzle 23 through which the paid out balls pass, card insertion slot 24 into which general cards and membership cards are inserted, lower tray 13 of the game machine 1 It has a removable counting tray 25 and the like located below.

The game device 2 has the following functions.
(1) When money is accepted (money acceptance processing), the deposit amount is displayed on both the game machine 1 and the game device 2, and the loan ball (value added) for one unit of loan (for example, 500 yen) is displayed on the game machine. It is paid out from 1 (compensation granting process), and the deposit amount is displayed according to the consideration granting process as the balance excluding the consideration of the loaned ball. Money can be accepted for multiple times of consideration grant processing (for example, up to 10,000 yen).

(2) When the lending button of the game machine 1 is pressed (lending operation, granting operation) while there is a balance, the lending ball for one unit of lending is paid out from the game machine 1 and the consideration is deducted from the balance. .. In addition, it is also equipped with a so-called counting function for each machine, and it is possible to count the acquired balls acquired by the player and refund the acquired balls again as consideration, excluding the consideration for the refund. It is also possible to specify the number as a ball.

(3) When the return button of the game machine 1 is pressed (issue operation) while the balance and the possessed balls remain, a general card capable of identifying the remaining balls and the possessed balls is issued. It should be noted that split issuance that targets a part of the balance or possession balls is not possible for the sake of simplicity of explanation, but it may be possible.

(4) Money acceptance processing and consideration grant processing by serial communication (reception of sales signal) with the relay device 3, balance and number of loaned balls, deposit amount and number of loaned balls, sales amount as consideration for loaned balls, counting ball, It is possible to specify the reception and issuance processing of the possession ball, the refund ball, and the general card, but these can also be specified by a pulse signal (for example, 1 pulse for every 1000 yen of deposit, 1 pulse for every 100 yen of sales, etc.).

The control unit (simply referred to as "management device 5") of the management device 5 is mainly composed of a microcomputer, includes a storage unit consisting of a ROM, RAM, HDD, etc., an I / O, etc., and is non-volatile. It operates according to the control program stored in the storage unit. The management device 5 aggregates the game information of each game machine 1 as a management means for managing the game information that can be specified by the game signal output from the game machine side.

FIG. 3 shows a list of basic data (actual values) of each gaming machine 1 belonging to, for example, model A, which is aggregated by the management device 5 on a business day basis, and the following items are set.
-Game value consumed by the game machine 1 specified by the out = out signal-Game value given according to the winning of the game machine 1 specified by the safe = safe signal-Specified by the start = start signal Number of operations of the accessory in the game machine 1 (number of symbol fluctuations)
・ S prize = number of starting prizes specified by the S prize signal ・ Sales ball = game value given as consideration by the corresponding lending machine specified by the sales signal (number of balls lent, value given)

-The number of big hits = the number of big hits specified by the big hit signal, "normal" is the number of big hits that occur at normal times, the so-called "first hit" number, and "specific" satisfies specific conditions (for example, set for T1Y). Number of occurrences of a specific jackpot that is a jackpot within the reference range (for example, 1000 to 2000) ・ T out <T safe> = Out during T (big hit and sweet) <safe>
・ T1 out <T1 safe> = Out during T1 (during big hit) <safe>
・ Special T1 out <Special T1 safe> = Out in T1 targeting only specific jackpots <Safe>

In addition, the "average" in FIG. 3 is the average of the game machines for the model A, and the "sweet middle" indicates the game information corresponding to the special state period such as the time reduction. Further, in the present embodiment, it is premised on a game field without a replay system based on so-called ball storage, but if the game field has a replay system, it is desirable to include the replay ball in the sales ball for calculation. However, the payout nozzle 23 shown in FIG. 1 is for replay for refunding the acquired balls acquired by the player on the day, and the replayed balls need not be included in the sales balls.

Further, the management device 5 can manage game information in units of predetermined periods, and each game machine 1 in the predetermined period (for example, a reference period consisting of a plurality of days such as one week and one month) based on the basic data of FIG. Aggregate the game information of. Here, FIG. 4 is, for example, a total of game information (actual information) of each game machine 1 belonging to model A, and the following items are set. It should be noted that the actual information is a concept that includes not only the actual value but also the theoretical value based on the actual value.

・ Base = Game information indicating the calculated value of B safe ÷ BO for "normal" and B safe A ÷ BOA for "sweet" (normal time, sweet middle) game information (game value added status)

In addition, BO that is out in normal is out-T out, B safe that is safe in normal is safe-T safe, BOA that is out in sweet is T out-T1 out, safe in sweet. B-safe A is specified by T-safe-T1-safe, but BO, B-safe, BOA, and B-safe A may be obtained as raw data. Hereinafter, the base in normal is sometimes referred to simply as the base, and the base in sweet is also referred to as BA.

-Average S = the ratio of the number of symbol fluctuations to the out for each state, and the game information (starting information, execution status of unit game, hereinafter, "S" or "S", which indicates the calculated value of normal (sweet) start ÷ BO (BOA). Sometimes called "effective S")
-Average S winning = the ratio of the number of starting winnings by state, game information showing the calculated value of normal (sweet) S winning ÷ BO (BOA) (starting information, starting winning winning status, hereinafter, "winning S" May say)

In the following, the average S in normal is referred to as S, and the average S in sweet is referred to as SA.
-Effective rate = the ratio of the number of symbol fluctuations to the number of starting prizes, and the game information indicating the calculated value of normal start ÷ normal S winning. Further, the effective rate of not only normal but also sweetness may be managed.

・ BY = base excluding symbol fluctuations, normal (sweet) base-normal (sweet) average S × game information showing the calculated value of the starting prize ball ・ BYmin = base excluding the starting prize, normal (Amachu) Base-Normal (Amachu) Average S prize x Game information showing the calculated value of the starting prize ball The starting prize ball is safe for each starting prize and is calculated by 3.

-T1Y = average jackpot medium out, (T1 safe-T1 out) ÷ game information showing the calculated value of the total jackpot T1O = average jackpot medium out, T1 out ÷ total jackpot calculated value The total number of big hits = the number of normal big hits + the number of sweet and medium big hits.

-Special T1Y = T1Y targeting a specific jackpot, (special T1 safe-special T1 out) ÷ game information indicating the calculated value of the specific jackpot number (status of giving game value)
・ Special T1O = T1O for a specific jackpot, game information showing the calculated value of the special T1 out ÷ specific jackpot number ・ Out rate = safe ratio to out (payout rate, grant rate), safe ÷ out calculation Game information showing the value

・ B-sa = game information showing the calculated value of BO-B safe with the number of difference balls at normal time ・ Customer stagnation rate = game information showing the calculated value of B-sa ÷ sales ball with the ratio of B-sa to sales balls ( Specific information)
・ Gross profit = operating profit on the amusement park side according to the game, game information showing the calculated value of sales amount-acquired ball x rental unit price x cost rate In addition, acquired ball (acquired value) = sales ball + safe-out is there. In addition, the rental unit price and the like may be set for each amusement park.

-Game information showing the calculated value of sales amount = sales ball x rental unit price In addition, the rental unit price = 4 yen and the cost rate = 75%.
・ Game unit price = sales amount per out, game information showing the calculated value of sales amount ÷ out ・ Gross profit = gross profit per out, game information showing the calculated value of gross profit ÷ out ・ Sales discount Number = ratio of profit / loss amount (loss ball) on the game hall side to actual sales amount (sales ball), game information showing the calculated value of earned ball ÷ sales ball Note that the "average" in Fig. 4 is model A. It is the target game machine average (corresponding value of "total" in FIG. 3).

FIG. 5 shows spec information for model A.
As the spec information, in addition to the TS, TSA and the number of continuations (average number of continuations) illustrated in FIG. 2, the round coefficient, the attacker coefficient, the starting prize ball, the unit lending price, and the cost rate are defined, and each spec value is set. ing. Here, it is necessary to set the TS to the starting prize ball for each model. In addition, the unit rental price and the cost rate are set as rate information corresponding to each model in the amusement park, but the amusement park and the model may be the same but different, so if there is such rate information, it depends on the model etc. It is set as appropriate.

It is assumed that the spec information is preset in the management device 5. Further, the spec information may be an expected value different from the expected value specified from the spec information of the game machine 1 depending on the game tendency of the player, so the server 9 is integrated and aggregated as described later. It may be specified by the reference information, or at least a part of FIG. 5 may be set by the reference information distributed from the server 9.

By the way, since the management device 5 creates and displays a form that aggregates the various game information described above in response to the user's request, it is possible to grasp whether the current operation is appropriate by checking the form. The current operation is daily form confirmation work and planning work.

However, during normal operation, the numbers and graphs displayed on the form are used for confirmation, so while being aware of the game information that is the direct purpose of form confirmation and planning work, pay attention to other game information. Is almost nonexistent. For example, items that are directly related to the achievement of goals such as out and gross profit are checked daily, but in many cases, the indirect effects of abnormal game information are not noticed.

Such indirect effects include, for example, PPM (Product Portfolio Management) analysis that analyzes which sales power position a game machine is located in, and start analysis that determines whether a start prize for drawing a big hit is appropriate. Although it can be analyzed with, it is quite difficult due to the increase in work load.

Under these circumstances, in the present embodiment, the management device 5 is equipped with an auto-consultant function. According to this auto-consultant function, since the management device 5 identifies an abnormality in the game information and automatically notifies it, it is possible to improve the business performance without increasing the work load of the user.

The auto-consultant function aims to make it easy for anyone to easily grasp the existence and contents of points to be noted. In order to make it easy to understand, points to note in sales and points that lead to improved business performance are briefly presented by combining graphs and messages so that even new store managers can make appropriate decisions based on the information presented. To support.

First, the screen configuration will be described. The screen configuration adopts a multi-window format, and multiple windows can be arranged on the monitor screen. That is, basically, a general-purpose form that is usually used is displayed, and various sub-windows are arranged beside the general-purpose form. In this sub-window, notes that cannot be read from general-purpose forms and the overall situation are displayed in a simple and easy-to-understand manner using graphs and the like. As a result, the user can check points to note and the overall situation in a sub-window as part of the daily work of checking general-purpose forms. In other words, by making it a daily business to check the information by the sub-windows arranged around the general-purpose form at the same time when checking the general-purpose form, it is possible to arrive at important information without increasing the time and effort.

In order to enable display in such a multi-window format, when the window arrangement pattern is set by the user, the management device 5 stores the set window arrangement pattern and TOP as shown in FIG. When the arrangement pattern displayed in the menu is selected, the window is arranged with the selected arrangement pattern.

Windows can be arranged in the following pattern.
(1) General-purpose forms (for example, "type aggregation" that aggregates game information for each model, "all units" that is the aggregation form for each game machine shown in Fig. 4, etc., and "aggregation" that is the aggregation form for the entire game hall. ) And the sub window are displayed together (left side of Fig. 7)
(2) List general-purpose forms on the full screen (3) Linked display of each form (right side of Fig. 7)
(4) Display the same type of forms side by side for comparison (5) Display temporarily for reference in a pop-up (6) Minimize and store in task (7) Display multiple non-linked sub-windows (center of Fig. 7) )

[Sub window]
The size of the sub-window can be changed, and the number of rows and columns that can be displayed changes by changing the size. There are two types of sub-windows, a form-linked type and a form-non-linked type. The form-linked type is a sub-window in which the content of the information to be displayed changes depending on the operation on the parent general-purpose form (hereinafter, may be referred to as the linked original form). For example, if a model on the type aggregation is specified, the information of the model is also displayed in the sub window.

The non-linked form type is a sub-window that does not have a general-purpose form as a parent and displays independent information. When you find an object (type, model, etc.) that you are interested in in the parent general-purpose form, you can dig into the information of that object and present it from various angles. For example, it is assumed that one sub-window presents the period transition and the other sub-window presents the start analysis. The non-form interlocking type displays information such as the status of stores and the entire type for the purpose of a bird's-eye view, and allows multiple sub-windows of the same type to be displayed at the same time. For example, it is assumed that two sub-windows showing sales information of each type are arranged on the screen, one sub-window displays information on 4-yen pachinko, and the other sub-window displays information on 20-yen pachislot.

In the sub window, the information is switched and displayed by rotation. For example, type A information → type B information → type C information → ... → type A information → ... is repeated. However, in the form-linked sub-window, when the target is specified in the linked original form, the rotation is stopped and the display is switched to the fixed display.

The linked original form is basically a general-purpose form such as type aggregation and all-store aggregation. Linked original form and sub-window are linked by setting. Not only sub-windows but also normal form windows are linked. It is possible to set which type (model / type) of information is displayed for each sub-window. If multiple applicable models to be displayed in the sub window are set, they are displayed in rotation.

The above two types of sub-windows, form-linked and non-form-linked, make it possible to provide information that shows the whole and details, and by presenting information in a visual representation in the sub-window, the user needs to feel no burden. Information can be grasped.

By the way, when referring to the above-mentioned general-purpose form, it is desirable to display a general-purpose form customized for each user because the items to be referred to differ for each user. Therefore, the management device 5 is provided with user-specific setting items (not shown) that can be set for each user, and the user includes arbitrary items (not only the items themselves but also their output order, etc.) depending on the user-specific setting items. ) Can be set.

When the setting item for each user is set, the management device 5 stores the set item corresponding to the user information at the time of login, and when displaying the game information in the general-purpose form, corresponds to the user information. Display by customized user-specific setting items. As a result, the general-purpose form customized for each user is displayed, so that the user can check the game information with the customized general-purpose form.

The management device 5 identifies and notifies an abnormality of the game information by comparing the game information managed by itself by the auto consultant function with the reference information acquired from the server 9. When some abnormality is identified in the game information in this way, it is desirable to display the general-purpose form related to the abnormality, but if the general-purpose form displayed at the time of abnormality identification is customized by the above-mentioned user-specific setting items, There is a risk that the item corresponding to the abnormality will be excluded from the customized form and cannot be confirmed.

Under these circumstances, when displaying a general-purpose form when an abnormality is identified, the management device 5 displays a related form that is activated by a common notification-only display pattern instead of a general-purpose form customized by the user. There is. In the display pattern dedicated to notification, output conditions, a sequence of items, and the like are defined in advance according to the content of the notification. It should be noted that a customized general-purpose form may be displayed when an operation is performed on this related form. That is, when the management device 5 displays the game information in the general-purpose form (normal form) that is normally activated, the management device 5 displays the game information according to the user-specific setting items customized according to the user information, while depending on the specific result of the abnormality. When displaying game information in the related form (notification form) to be activated, it is displayed by the notification items common to multiple users set in advance, and it is customized when the notification icon displayed in the related form is operated. It is configured to display general-purpose forms.

[Notification subwindow]
As mentioned above, the normal sub-window displays information on the model and type specified by the user, while the notification sub-window that displays the notification content by the auto consultant function analyzes the data based on the internal logic. Display only the information that is deemed necessary for notification.

Similar to the normal sub-window, the notification sub-window displays the existence of caution points and the confirmation of the specific contents of the caution points in a feasible manner during the daily form confirmation work (planning work). The notification subwindow can be set to be rectangular type or square type. The rectangular type is, for example, a display form in which a graph and data are combined, and the square type is a simplified display form in which only the graph is displayed (lower right of FIG. 17).

When the notification sub-window is displayed, the general-purpose form, the sub-window, and the notification sub-window are displayed at the same time as shown in FIG. In the notification subwindow, if there is multiple notification information that needs to be notified by the auto consultant function, only the notification that is currently "valid" is displayed in rotation. "Valid" means satisfying all of the following conditions.
(1) Unread notifications or notifications marked as read on the day (2) Not expired (3) You have permission to view notifications That is, notifications that have expired even if they are unread are considered past Do not include in handling rotation. In addition, notifications that have been changed from unread to read on that day will continue to be displayed during that day.

If the notification target model (type) is specified in the interlocking original form, the notification information of the target is displayed in the notification subwindow, and if the notification non-target model (type) is specified, the normal rotation display is displayed. There is up to. The "designation" is a state in which the check box on the left side of the model name column of the type aggregation shown in FIG. 17 is turned on.

[Form marking]
Marking processing is performed on the notification target model (type) and the target data on the general-purpose form. For example, it is possible to visually grasp the notification target by changing the color scheme of the cell or adding a notification icon (! Mark in FIG. 17, notification display) (when an abnormality is identified). To that effect).

In addition, marking processing is also performed on the notification target model (type) and the target data cell on the transition destination form, and the notification icon (mail icon shown in FIG. 8) is displayed on the notification target model (type). To display. When the notification icon is operated in the transition destination form, the corresponding notification pop window is displayed (center of the drawing in FIG. 17).

On the other hand, in the notification for the data on the day, only the marking by the color scheme is performed on the target data cell without giving the notification icon. That is, the data cell of the notification target item of the notification target model (type) is colored, and the cell is filled with a color different from the color scheme by the marking function of the form. In this case, marking is performed on the form only while the notification for the data on the day is displayed in the notification subwindow. In addition, marking is not performed when the notification subwindow is hidden.

[Notification pop window]
When the notification sub-window is operated, the information of the model that requires notification based on a specific logic is displayed as a digest by the notification pop window (notification display that can accept the operation by the user), and the notification pop window is operated. If so, the interlocking original form, which is a related form, is displayed (the notification form is displayed when the operation for the notification display is accepted). As shown in FIG. 8, the interlocking original form can also be displayed by activating the display pattern for notification confirmation from the TOP menu and designating the notification confirmation.

When there are a plurality of models to be notified, the information of the representative model satisfying the model having the most preset representative conditions (for example, the largest number) is displayed as a digest by the notification pop window. When this notification pop window is operated, the interlocking original form is displayed. Since the game information is shown for each model in the interlocking original form, when the operation to select the model is accepted, the information for other models is displayed.

[Notification icon]
When the notification icon is operated, the management device 5 displays the related form, and if there is a sub-window displayed corresponding to the related form, the management device 5 switches the information display of the sub-window to the target model. In addition, when the notification icon is operated, the related form may be hidden or another general-purpose form. In such a case, if there is one related form, the related form is displayed in a pop-up. If there are multiple related forms, the information for displaying one of the related forms is displayed in a pop-up.

When the management device 5 displays information for a specific model while the notification subwindow is rotating and displaying the target information, the management device 5 sets a representative model such as model A in FIG. 15 as the specific model. Display information of representative models (information of representative models that satisfy preset representative conditions when there are multiple models to be notified) (Notification information display that gives priority to information of other models other than the representative model) ), And when the notification sub-window is operated, a notification pop-up containing information on other models as shown in Fig. 16 (when an operation for displaying notification information is accepted, it responds to the specific result by the abnormality identification means targeting other models. Information) is displayed.

Here, if the model is not selected in the interlocking original form, etc., the information of the representative model is displayed in the notification subwindow with the representative model as a specific model (information of the representative model that satisfies the preset representative conditions). When a model is selected in the interlocking original form, etc., the information of the model is displayed as a specific model in the notification sub-window as well as other form-linked sub-windows (other models other than the representative model). Notification information is displayed in preference to the information in.
As described above, the abnormal content of the game information can be easily confirmed by checking the related form, the notification sub-window, and the notification pop window by the auto consultant function.

Hereinafter, SP ball gross profit factor analysis and start analysis will be described as specific examples of the auto consultant function.
[SP ball gross profit factor analysis]
The SP ball gross profit factor analysis grasps the gap in the output rate of each model between the own store and the market (general operation status including other stores), and is used as a reference for future sales strategies. For example, the criteria are whether to review the operation plan, wait a little longer, or whether the strategy is based on understanding the market trends, or whether the result is unintended. Models with the following number of units set by the market comparison unit setting are excluded from the detection target.

In order to understand the gap between the output rate of each model between your store and the market, you can compare the output rate obtained from the actual value of your store and the actual value of the market for each model. Since the actual value includes variable factors, it is not possible to simply compare the output rates based on the actual value. In the case of pachinko machines, the fluctuation factors include payout by winning a prize at the starting port, lottery result of a big hit, payout by winning a prize at the big winning opening in a big hit state, and the like, and the payout rate is greatly affected by these fluctuation factors. In order to eliminate the influence of variable factors, the standard value is obtained by adopting the spec value or the theoretical information based on the spec as shown in Fig. 6 instead of the actual value, and the output rate is calculated based on this standard information. Can be considered.

However, since such standard information is based on actual information with different gross profits and different output rates, the standard values obtained by correcting the standard information with the gross profits and output rates as constant values are adopted. This reference value can be obtained by correcting the reference information with the gross profit set to, for example, 0, or by correcting the reference information with the output rate set to, for example, 100%. The market standard value is obtained in the server 9.

By the way, from each performance information such as S (not only valid S but also winning S), BYmin, special T1Y, BA, etc. (customer stagnation rate, SA, special T1O, etc.), each model of the market or own store is released. The rate can be calculated, but it is not possible to specify which performance information has a large effect on the output rate.
Therefore, only the specific performance information is adopted as it is, and the influence of the specific performance information on the output rate is analyzed by replacing the other performance information with the above reference value.

Specifically, the S analysis that analyzes the influence of S on the output rate is specified by obtaining the output rate using S as the actual information and a value other than S as the reference value. For example, if the gross profit is calculated using only S as the actual information for the standard information with the output rate as 100% and the theoretical value is 98%, 2%, which is the deduction from 100%, is the degree of influence of the output rate by S. It becomes. Similarly, the BYmin analysis for analyzing the influence of BYmin on the output rate is specified by obtaining the output rate using BYmin as the actual information and a value other than BYmin as a reference value. The special T1Y analysis for analyzing the influence of the special T1Y on the output rate is specified by obtaining the output rate using the special T1Y as the actual information and a reference value other than the special T1Y. The BA analysis that analyzes the influence of BA on the output rate is specified by obtaining the output rate using BA as the actual information and a value other than BA as the reference value. Identify other analyzes that analyze the impact of others on the output rate by calculating the output rate using other as the actual information and other than others as the reference value.

S analysis, BYmin analysis, special T1Y analysis, BA analysis, and other analyzes of the own store and the market specified as described above are compared, and if there is an item that deviates significantly beyond a predetermined threshold, it is subject to notification and the related form. A notification icon is displayed at the top of, and the notification sub-window is displayed.

[Sub window]
The rectangular type sub-window shown in FIG. 9 is one of the sub-windows associated with the interlocking original form. In this sub-window, a model name column 26, an information display column 27 indicating the market and the SP ball gross profit of the own store, and a radar chart 28 are displayed for the model selected by the type aggregation. The radar chart displays the comparison results of S analysis, BYmin analysis, special T1Y analysis, BA analysis, and other analyzes, and corresponds to each analysis, "effective S", "BYmin", "special T1Y", "BA". , "Other" items are displayed, and the items identified as abnormal are marked. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the mark 29 is attached to the “effective S” in which the S analysis of the market and the own store is significantly different. In the radar chart, the above-mentioned reference value is also displayed on each item at the same time. Only the radar chart is displayed in the square type sub-window. Since such element analysis is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-144735, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

SP ball gross profit (theoretical ball gross profit) is one of the above-mentioned theoretical information, and is a theoretical value that is a gaming state when an advantageous state occurs without biasing the lottery of an advantageous state such as a big hit state in a pachinko machine. It is a ball gross profit. That is, since the presence or absence of the big hit state or the like is specified by the lottery, the value is not necessarily close to the actual information described in FIG. 4 in which the lottery is biased (see FIG. 6).

In FIG. 6, for the pachinko machine of model A described in FIG. 4, the “spec information” of FIG. 5 is set, the “basic data” is specified, and then a lottery is performed based on the data of the gaming machine specified by them. It shows an example of theoretical values such as the output rate when an advantageous state such as a big hit occurs without bias such as, and shows the definition and the calculation formula. The "basic data" in FIG. 6 shows the average value in the reference period specified for the aggregation as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, and stable game information can be obtained by setting the reference period to a plurality of days. Is specified as the basic data, but of course, the theoretical value may be specified in the business day unit using the game information in the business day unit as the basic data. The "theoretical value" in FIG. 6 is specified as a theoretical value by the spec information and the basic data. "SP ball gross profit" refers to "ball gross profit" in the "theoretical value" as shown in the figure, and is not affected by the bias of the occurrence of big hits (gross profit ÷ out). Is.

When the sub-window is operated, the ball gross profit element analysis window shown in FIG. 10 is displayed. In this ball gross profit element analysis window, the setting field 30 and the data display unit 31 are displayed. In the data display unit 31, an information column 32 showing the values corresponding to each item of the own store and the market radar chart 28 in the upper row and the SP ball gross profit and the radar chart 28 in the lower row for the model selected by the type aggregation. Is displayed. The displayed value is the average value of the actual value of the last week (one week including the previous day) of the own store, or the average value of the current day data (first predetermined period unit) and the market last week (second predetermined period unit).
Although the radar chart shown in FIG. 10 is different from the radar chart shown in FIG. 9, it is actually the same radar chart.

Similar to the sub-window, if the comparison result of each item between your store and the market is out of the allowable range, you will be notified of the abnormality. When notifying an abnormality, mark the corresponding item. The user can easily grasp the current situation by comparing each item between his / her own store and the market using the radar chart of the ball gross profit factor analysis.

By the way, the market data received from the server 9 can be said to be information indicating a market trend common to a plurality of amusement parks, but there is also a need in some amusement parks to detect anomalies together with own store data. In order to meet this need, it is desirable to suppress anomaly detection when the store data is moving as planned by the store.
Therefore, if the abnormality can be identified by either the own store or the market, the abnormality is notified as described above, and even if the abnormality can be identified by both the own store and the market, it is normal by the own store data or the market data. If it can be specified, the abnormality notification is suppressed.

For example, if the SP ball gross profit of the market last week is 0.33 (first standard) and the SP ball gross profit of the own store is 0.22 (game information managed by the own store management means), the difference between the two is 0. It becomes .11 and it becomes NG, but if the SP ball gross profit of the own store last week is 0.21 (second standard), the difference between last week and the week before last is 0.01 at the own store, and it is moving as planned. Since the final judgment is OK (identified as normal based on one of the first and second criteria), abnormality notification is suppressed, but for example, the SP ball of the own store the week before last. When the gross profit is 0.35, the difference between last week and the week before last is 0.13 at the own store, and the final judgment is NG (the game information managed by the own store management means is abnormal according to both the first standard and the second standard). (Specifically), and an abnormality is notified.

[Notification subwindow]
When the abnormality notification is detected as described above, for example, when logging in on the day, the notification subwindow shown in FIG. 11 is displayed as a telop. In this notification sub-window, the display condition item 33 and the notification field 35 are displayed. In the notification column 35, a message notifying the abnormal model and the content of the abnormality is displayed in the upper row, and the average number of starts of the own store and the market and the radar chart 28 are displayed in the lower row. In this case, for the model registered as a new machine on the server 9, the own store and the market are compared with the previous day data from the new registration to the 14th (predetermined period), and if it is out of the threshold value, it is notified. In other words, from the introduction of the new model to the own store until the 14th, the above-mentioned notification of abnormality notification is not suppressed. After the 14th, the abnormality is detected not by the data of the previous day but by the data of the last week (one week including the previous day).

[Notification pop window]
When the notification sub-window is operated, the notification pop window shown in FIG. 12 is displayed. In this notification pop window, a comment field 36 and a list of target models 37 are displayed. In the comment field, preset comments (for example, "S is OO lower than the market average. Is it what you want?") Are displayed. When a model is selected in the check column corresponding to the model in the target model list, the ball gross profit element analysis column 38 of the selected model is displayed. In the ball gross profit element analysis column 38, items outside the set range are displayed in red, and items outside the set range are marked with a mark 29 in the radar chart items.

[Enter planned value]
On the other hand, not only the actual value but also the input of the planned value when planning the game information from the next day onward is notified when an abnormality is detected. That is, the plan input is compared with the market data and notified when it is out of the threshold value.
The notification pop window is the same as the case of the actual value, but since the game information of the own store or the market that is the standard fluctuates, the planned value entered a few days ago may be notified as abnormal on the day before the business day. is assumed.

As an abnormality specific condition,
(1) Priority is given to identify whether the SP ball gross profit is abnormal, such as exceeding the permissible value (the abnormality is specified with the profit and loss information as the highest priority notification target).
(2) If (1) cannot be specified, specify whether the effective S, BA, and special T1Y are abnormal, provided that the SP ball gross profit is normal.
However, if a plurality of items are applicable, the priority order is S → BA → correction T1Y → SP ball gross profit (if an abnormality cannot be identified by profit / loss information, the start information is used as a notification target to identify an abnormality).

[S analysis]
If the winning S (winning status of the starting prize) or the valid S (starting information indicating the execution status of the unit game) is too low, the operation cannot be secured, but if it is too high, the gross profit cannot be secured and the meaning of securing the operation is diminished. It is difficult to specify the reference range.
Therefore, the upper limit value (hereinafter, upper limit S range) and the lower limit value (hereinafter, lower limit S range) of the S range of the own store (hereinafter, S range (range for classifying start information)) are derived and planned. To be able to use it efficiently. In addition, if there is a model in which the S stop time of the own store is equal to or longer than the stop time of server 9 management, a utilization proposal is made.

An S range that satisfies all of the following lower limit conditions 1 to 3 (preset lower limit conditions) is specified as the lower limit S range. The lower limit S range is such that the out of the S range is equal to or more than the model average out or the predetermined value of the model average value or more.
(Lower limit condition 1)
S The out ratio (comparison result of operation information) with the previous category is the set value (initial value is 30) or more, and the set value can be changed.
(Lower limit condition 2)
Enter the set value when the SP ball gross profit (profit / loss information indicating the profit / loss generated by operating the game machine) is equal to or higher than the set value (initial value is 0 (standard lower limit profit / loss information)) (comparison result with profit / loss information). The range is -9.99 to 9.99.
(Lower limit condition 3)
The number of cases is the set value (initial value is 5) or more, and the input range of the set value is 1 to 9. If there is no corresponding item even if the lower limit condition 3 is changed, the lower limit S range is set to none.
However, when there are a plurality of S ranges that satisfy the above lower limit condition, the S range having a lower S (frequency indicated by the start information) belonging to the S range is specified as the lower limit S range.

The upper limit S range is an S range that satisfies all of the following upper limit conditions 1 to 3 (preset upper limit conditions).
(Upper limit condition 1)
S range where out is the highest value after the lower limit S range However, even if the upper limit condition 1 is satisfied, the following upper limit conditions 2 and 3 may not be satisfied. Therefore, the higher ranking of out (for example, 3 (reference)). (Ranking))) is set, and it is determined by the comparison result (comparison result between the ranking given to the S range and the reference ranking) in order from the first place in the higher ranking. The upper ranking can be changed by the set value, and the input range of the set value is 1 to 9.
(Upper limit condition 2)
The SP ball gross profit is equal to or greater than the set value (initial value is 0 (standard upper limit profit / loss information)) (comparison result between profit / loss information and standard upper limit profit / loss information), and the input range of the set value is 0.000 to 9.99. ..
(Upper limit condition 3)
The number of cases is the set value (initial value is 5) or more, and the input range of the set value is 1 to 9. If the number of cases is less than 5, the data extraction period shall be a weekday of 3 weeks. If there is no corresponding item even if the upper limit condition 3 is changed, the upper limit S range is set to none.

In the above, the standard lower limit profit / loss information and the standard upper limit profit / loss information are used as the same value, but different values may be adopted. Further, even if there is an S range that satisfies all of the above upper limit conditions 1 to 3, the S range does not differ from the lower limit S range specified as described above, or the starting information is more than the lower limit S range. If the frequency indicated by is low, the tendency to detect anomalies based on the start information is low, and not only the upper limit S range but also the lower limit S range is not adopted as the reference range (the upper limit S range specifying means is more than the lower limit S range). The upper limit S range is specified on condition that it is the S range that is frequently indicated by the start information to which it belongs).

If the symbol stop period is long, it is assumed that the player gets tired of the game and moves to the table or ends the game, so caution is required. In particular, it is necessary to pay particular attention to the lower limit S range in which the symbol suspension period becomes long.
Therefore, the management device 5 receives a game signal from the game machine side that can specify the period in which the game is in operation and the symbol stop period, so that the game machine is put into operation as game information corresponding to the lower limit S range for each model. The number of S stop seconds in which the symbol is in the stopped state in a certain period (for example, the average number of seconds in which the symbol is stopped in the symbol stop state, the stop period information regarding the period in which the accessory is in the stopped state) is specified and managed by the server 9. The number of seconds to stop the market is set as the reference value for the number of S stop seconds of the model, and an abnormality is notified when the number of S stop seconds corresponding to the lower limit S range is less than or equal to the reference value for the number of S stop seconds (stop period information and reference stop period information). Notify the abnormality based on the comparison with). The number of stop seconds can be changed with a set value (initial value is 4), and the input range of the set value is 0.1 to 9.9.

FIG. 13 shows an example of each game information corresponding to the S prizes classified as described above. The S range is set to 8 categories of 20 units, and the model average value is set to be classified into the 4th S prize from the top of the 8 categories. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the model average value corresponds to S winning 564-584, the lower limit S range corresponds to S winning 524-544, and the upper limit S range corresponds to S winning 584-604. Further, the S stop second reference value corresponds to the S prize of 544-564, and the S range before the S prize is equal to or less than the S stop second, and the abnormality is notified.

Hereinafter, the configuration for specifying the above conditions will be supplemented. Although a plurality of S ranges are set as described above, the management device 5 specifies game information in a predetermined period such as a business day unit as shown in FIG. Among the specified game information, it is determined which of the S range the average S prize (S prize), which is the game information subject to the S range, belongs to. Here, in the above S prize, for example, 564 indicates that the average S prize in FIG. 4 is 56.4%.

Then, the S range to which the S prize belongs is associated with the predetermined period, and it is determined and corresponds to which S range each of the game information for a plurality of predetermined periods, for example, 7 business days in the case of one week, corresponds to. Out, gross profit, or other game information such as the number of S stop seconds is also sorted and aggregated in S range units (S range management means). By aggregating in this way, the corresponding outs and SP ball gross profit are specified in S range units. For example, in the case of out ranking, the average value of outs in S range units is compared to rank them, and the S range is ranked. Specify the ranking by unit.

Further, the previous division indicates the S range before the target S range. For example, the front division of the S range of 584-604 in FIG. 13 is 564-584, and in FIG. 13, the out of 584-604 is 2790 and the out of 564-584 is 1995, so the out difference is 2790-1995 =. It becomes 795, and the out ratio is 795 ÷ 1995 ≈ 40% because the out difference of the target S category (target category) ÷ the out of the previous category. In addition, in FIG. 13 and the like, the out is not regarded as a real number but is shown as 1/10. For example, 2790 indicates an out of 27900 minutes.

[Sub window]
The sub-window shown in FIG. 14 is one of the sub-windows associated with the interlocking original form. In this sub-window, for the model selected by the type aggregation, the information column 39 of the average out, the average SP ball gross profit, and the SP table gross profit, and the bar graph 40 of the out by S range are displayed. The bar graph showing the upper limit S range is displayed in blue, and the bar graph showing the lower limit S range is displayed in red. In addition, a mark 41 is added to the bar graph corresponding to the S range having the highest gross profit on the SP table.

The number of aggregated data is displayed in the upper right. However, if the total number is less than the set value, the number of cases is displayed in red. The aggregation period shall be one week including the latest day (the day before).
In the square type subwindow, only the bar graph is displayed.

[Notification subwindow]
When the lower limit S range of the day is lower than the lower limit S range set as described above, the notification subwindow shown in FIG. 15 is displayed as a telop. In the notification sub-window, the display condition item 33 and the bar graph 40 out by S range are displayed. If the actual number of actual S on the day is small, a notification is given when the upper limit value or the lower limit value is out of the allowable range based on the actual number of actual S on the previous day.

The current day data is displayed corresponding to the "current day" and the bar graph 40 out by S range, and the previous day data is displayed as "previous day". If "the day" and "the day before" are in the same S range, "the day" is displayed and "the day before" is not displayed. In addition, if there is a model whose symbol stop period is longer than the threshold value, it will be notified.
If there are multiple applicable models, the preset representative model (for example, the model with the largest number) is displayed. Also, check the data other than the representative model in the notification pop window described later. Models with a total number of units below the setting are excluded.

[Notification pop window]
When the notification sub-window is operated, the notification pop window shown in FIG. 16 is displayed. In this notification pop window, a comment field 36 and a list of target models 37 are displayed. In the comment column 36, a comment set in advance corresponding to the corresponding model (for example, "Winning S is below the lower limit value!") Is displayed. When a model is selected in the check column corresponding to the model of the target model list 37, the bar graph 40 of the selected model out by S range is displayed. In this bar graph 40, the actual value of the own store is shown, and when the actual value is out of the permissible range between the upper limit value and the lower limit value, a mark 42 is attached.

[Enter planned value]
When the planned value is input, the number of S is notified when it is out of the allowable range between the upper limit value and the lower limit value. If there are multiple applicable models, the representative model, for example, the model with the largest number of installations, is displayed in the same way as in the notification subwindow. For the model specified from the target model list, the graph of out by S range is displayed.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.
The management device 5 displays general-purpose forms with customized items according to the login ID, while related forms are displayed with notification items different from general-purpose forms. Therefore, by customizing the form items, abnormalities occur. It is possible to reduce the risk that it will be difficult to confirm the game information item corresponding to.

Since the related form is displayed by selecting the notification pop window, the administrator determines that it is necessary to confirm that an abnormality has occurred in the notification pop window and confirm the form in the notification pop window. It is possible to output related forms as needed, such as outputting related forms.

When there are multiple models to be notified, the information of the representative model is displayed in the notification sub-window, while when the notification sub-window is selected, the information of other models is also displayed in the target model list item, so multiple abnormalities are displayed by the notification sub-window. Check the notifications later, and determine the necessity of checking other models by grasping the information of the representative model, for example, the influence of the abnormality is large, and select the notification sub-window when it is necessary to check. This makes it possible to take appropriate measures against abnormal notifications, such as making it possible to check information on other models.

If there are multiple models to be notified, the information of the representative model is displayed in the notification sub-window, but if the model is selected in the interlocking source form, the model is targeted for notification in the notification sub-window instead of the representative model. If there is a model that should be noted by checking the original form, it will be possible to check it after affecting the notification subwindow.

Since it is possible to display a customized general-purpose form by operating with the related form displayed, when an abnormality is confirmed with the related form, other items to be confirmed can be confirmed with the general-purpose form that is normally referred to. become.

Out and SP ball gross profit are managed in S range units, and the lower limit S of starting information is the S range where the out ratio with the previous category is higher than the out ratio setting and the SP ball gross profit is higher than the SP ball gross profit setting. Since it is specified as a range, it is possible to specify a lower limit S range for determining an abnormality when the player feels uncomfortable and obtains starting information that greatly reduces the operation.

The S range is ranked according to the corresponding out, and the upper limit S range is the S range that is above the standard ranking and the SP ball gross profit also reaches the standard value, so the value is increased in consideration of the profit of the amusement park. Therefore, it is possible to specify the upper limit S range for determining an abnormality when starting information that is unlikely to improve the operation is obtained.

Since the upper limit S range is specified when a category higher than the lower limit S range can be specified, if there is little tendency for the start information to affect the operation, the upper limit S range is not specified and appropriate measures can be taken.
When a plurality of S ranges satisfy the condition, the lower limit S range is set as the lower S range, so that even if the start information has a great influence on the out, it can be appropriately dealt with.

In order to notify an abnormality when the stop period of the symbol fluctuation corresponding to the lower limit S range does not reach the value set for the number of stop seconds, not only the abnormality detection by the lower limit S range but also other factors such as whether there is any variation in operation, for example. It is possible to understand that it is necessary to refer to the game information, and that there is a possibility that the operation will decrease in the future and the lower limit S range will fluctuate, although the operation will not be affected for the time being, and it is necessary to respond early. It becomes.

If an abnormality can be identified by both the market standard and the own store standard, the abnormality is notified, and if one of them can be identified as normal, even if the other can identify the abnormality, the abnormality notification is suppressed. By operating the models that are subject to the above, even if they deviate from the market standards, unnecessary notifications can be suppressed if they meet the store standards, while other models deviate from the market standards. By operating without deviation, it is possible to prevent deviation from the own store standard, reduce the risk of complicating the setting operation, and enable appropriate abnormality notification.

In addition, even if the model that is subject to sweetness that deviates from the market standard is strategically utilized by switching to the utilization that deviates from the own store standard in order to match the market trend, it matches the market standard. Therefore, it is expected that unnecessary abnormality notification will be suppressed.

Even if an abnormality is identified only by the market standard within the new unit period, an abnormality is notified, so even if the above abnormality notification is suppressed, it is possible to understand that the system is not used according to the market trend at the beginning of the introduction of the new unit. Become.
Since not only the actual value but also the planned value is subject to the abnormality notification, it is possible to grasp that the abnormality is at the stage of making the business plan.

The SP ball gross profit and the winning S are managed as the game information to be notified of the abnormality, the SP ball gross profit is given the highest priority, and when the SP ball gross profit is not abnormal, the winning S is targeted for the abnormality notification. Therefore, according to the priority order that the amusement park should pay attention to, it is possible to perform appropriate abnormality notification while suppressing duplicate abnormality notification.

Since the market standard is specified on a business day basis and the past standard of the own store is specified on a weekly basis, the market standard with a large number of parameters for specifying the standard is for a relatively short period, and the past standard of the own store with a small population parameter is the population parameter In order to increase the number of parameters, the standard can be specified in a relatively long period of time, and more appropriate detection becomes possible.

(Other embodiments)
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and modification, and may be modified or expanded as follows, or each modification may be combined with the above-described embodiment.
When an item related to game information for which an abnormality has been identified is provided as one of the user-specific setting items of the above embodiment, the customized general-purpose form may be displayed in preference to the related form. In this case, if there is a notification item in the customized general-purpose form, the general-purpose form is displayed with priority, so that it is possible to reduce the need to check the related form instead of the general-purpose form more than necessary.

The out ratio shown in the lower limit condition 1 of the above embodiment may be any information as long as it is information indicating the out relationship between the target category and the previous category, such as, for example, the previous category out ÷ the target category out. In the case of the previous category out ÷ the target category out, the operation standard information is 70%, and it is a condition that it is 70% or less.
In the above embodiment, when the upper limit S range and the lower limit S range do not become different S ranges, the reference S range including the lower limit S range is not specified, but only one of the lower limit S range and the upper limit S range is specified. You may.

In the above embodiment, the reference lower limit profit / loss information when specifying the lower limit S range and the reference upper limit profit / loss information when specifying the upper limit S range are set to the same value (= 0), but different values may be used.
We have illustrated that the number of units is the largest as a representative condition, but what kind of conditions should be noted on behalf of multiple models, such as the model with the highest average out and the gross profit on the SP level and the latest introduction time? May be adopted.

In this embodiment, out is exemplified as the operation information, and SP ball gross profit is exemplified as the profit / loss information. For example, the operation time that can be specified by accumulating the operation period of the so-called operation timer and the effective S linked to the out are used as the operation information. , Actual gross profit information that is not a theoretical value such as timer gross profit or gross profit information that is not divided by out such as gross profit or so-called replay profit / loss may be adopted as profit / loss information.
In the above embodiment, the abnormality notification itself is suppressed as the suppression of the abnormality notification, but for example, the user's operation is suppressed by notifying that "it is different from the previous utilization but it corresponds to the utilization of the market". You may.

The values such as the reference information (reference value) were obtained by totaling the game information at the own store (game hall A) by the management device 5, but the game information of the game halls nationwide is totaled by the server 9. The value obtained by equalization (value distributed from the server 9) may be used in the management device 5.
A part of the processing performed by the management device 5 may be performed by the relay device 3, the game device 2, or the like. Further, the processing performed by the server 9 is performed by the management device 5, the processing performed by the management device 5 is performed by the server 9, and the statistical data or the like is specified only by the management device 5 without the server 9 as a reference value. It may be configured in any way, such as specifying.

Various setting values (setting information) may be arbitrarily set by the game hall manager by input operation, or may be set in advance by the manufacturer of the management device. Alternatively, the setting information may be downloaded from an external server such as the chain store headquarters and set.
All the illustrated game information may be directly specified by a signal output from the game machine side, or may be indirectly specified by using an arithmetic expression.

Numerical values, number of digits, items, etc. are examples, and any numerical value may be adopted. In addition, either of the above and the excess may be adopted, and the expression such as "reached" corresponds to either the above or the excess. The same applies to the following and less than, and expressions such as "not reached" correspond to both. Further, the output mode for outputting a graph or a form may be any output mode, and print output or display output can be adopted.
As the target game machine, a game machine other than the so-called enclosed type pachinko machine or slot machine that manages the game medium only with data can be adopted.

In the drawing, 1 is a game machine, a management device 5 (management means, a storage means, an abnormality identifying means, a display means), and 7 is a monitor (display means).
