Hereinafter, one embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 schematically shows the overall configuration of a playground management system.
A plurality of game machine islands are provided in the game hall, and each game machine island has a large number of game machines 1 such as pachinko machines and slot machines, a large number of rental devices 2 corresponding to each game machine 1, and game information. The display device 3 is installed. The two gaming machines 1, the two lending devices 2, and the gaming information display device 3 are connected to one relay device 4. The relay device 4 is connected to the management device 6 via the LAN 5, and relays communication between the game machine 1, the rental device 2, the game information display device 3, and the management device 6.

Further, an entrance management terminal 7 shown in FIG. 1 is installed at the entrance of the amusement park, and the entrance management terminal 7 is communicably connected to the management device 6 via the LAN 5. As will be described in detail later, the admission management terminal 7 reads the admission order code (see the two-dimensional code 234a in FIG. 23) displayed on the player's mobile terminal 37, and the player's face image or the like is displayed on the PC monitor 7a. It is designed to be displayed.
It should be noted that devices such as POS that perform prize exchange processing in the amusement park are also communicably connected to the management device 6 via the LAN 5.

The management device 6 is installed in, for example, a management room, and manages the operating status of all the devices (game machine 1, rental device 2, game information display device 3, etc.) installed in the game hall. Although omitted in FIG. 1, a plurality of types of gaming machines 1 over several hundreds are managed by the management device 6. Further, when the game machine 1 described above is a pachinko machine, the game value (game medium) is a ball (pachinko ball), and when the game machine 1 is a slot machine, the game value is a medal.

A predetermined number of credit medals are bet by the player inserting medals from the medal insertion slot 18 or operating the BET button 19. When the start lever 16 is operated in that state, the internal lottery is executed and the fluctuation of the symbol is started, and the fluctuation of the reel is stopped by the so-called pull-in control by operating the stop button 17.

As is well known, in slot machines, in addition to small roles and replay roles, bonus roles (BB role and RB role) and the like are set. Then, at the time of the above internal lottery, when the stop button 17 is operated by the player while the internal winning combination is internally won, the symbol corresponding to the internal winning combination is stopped and displayed on the preset valid line. If it is done, a prize will be generated. Then, when a prize is awarded, the corresponding number of medals are paid out, or a transition to a bonus state (big hit state) or the like is performed.

For both the above pachinko machines and slot machines, the set values that specify the winning probability of winning can be adjusted in multiple stages, and multiple models of each can be installed. For example, in these gaming machines 1, setting values for setting the winning probability (ball ejection rate) in 6 stages of "1" to "6" are provided, and operations on the gaming ground side (change operations by employees) are provided. ), Assign one of the set values and enable it to make stepwise adjustments. The higher the set value, the more advantageous the setting for the player, and the lower the value, the more disadvantageous the setting for the player.

The set value is also referred to as a "ball payout rate set value" because the payout rate of the gaming machine 1 can be changed stepwise. Further, as will be described in detail later, the management device 6 (set value storage means) stores the set value information in which the set value assigned to the game machine 1 and the identification information of the game machine 1 are associated with each other. (See FIG. 18).

At 21:00, a lottery for determining the order of admission is executed by generating a random number according to the number of web participants for each game hall, and the admission order of each player who participated in the lottery is determined.

Specifically, the admission numbers are extracted and assigned to each player who participated in the lottery on the game information site, for example, in the order of "entry number", that is, the order in which the lottery participation is accepted. In this lottery, the server 39 generates random numbers (for the number of entries) within the range of the number of web participants for each playground, randomly extracts the entry number based on the acquired random numbers, and sets the entry number as "entry number". It is performed by executing the extraction process assigned to each ".". The admission number extracted by the extraction process is extracted so as not to overlap with the previously extracted admission number. In the following, the extraction process will be referred to as “lottery” and the admission number will be referred to as “entrance order”, and the admission order will be assigned to each player by lottery.

In this way, the server 39 executes a lottery for the number of participation in the web for each game hall by 22:00 when the reservation for the machine of (iv) is started, determines the admission order of all the players who have entered, and the entry order thereof. Depending on the order of admission, the top 100 players will be given a reservation start time (reservation available time zone) that allows them to make a reservation by 1 minute from 22:00.

As described above, the server 39 is a reservation order determining means for preliminarily determining the order in which the player can reserve the specific gaming machine 1 by lottery before the start of business, and the gaming machine in association with the admission order. It is configured as a reservation start time setting means for setting the reservation start time.
In addition, since the lottery result on the server 39 will be announced on the game information site together with the information on the machine reservation by 22:00, the player who entered will be concerned with the admission order and the machine reservation on his / her mobile terminal 37. You can check the information or download the admission order information required at the time of admission to your mobile terminal 37.

Here, FIG. 21 shows an entrance lottery result announcement screen displayed when the entrance lottery menu selection screen is displayed on the display unit 37a of the mobile terminal 37 and the entrance lottery result is selected on the screen after the entrance lottery is completed. Shows.
As shown in the figure, the title 211, the member number 212, the hall name and the date 213, the lottery result and the reservation start time 214 are displayed on the entrance lottery result announcement screen. The lottery result and the reservation start time 214 represent the "entry number" and the "entrance order" given to each player, and the "reservation start time" specified in minutes.

Of these, the reservation start time is 22 in the order of admission, such as No. 1 = 22:00, No. 2 = 22:01, No. 3 = 22:02, ... No. 18 = 22:17, ... Reservations can be made from just the right time, and reservations can be made one minute later in order, and the 100th entry order will be 23:39, 99 minutes later.
In this way, according to the order determined by the reservation order determination means, the time (reservation start time) at which each player can make a reservation by the mobile terminal 37 or the like is determined, and the time is set by each player. Is notified via the mobile terminal 37 or the like. In this way, the server 39 functions as a notification means for notifying the player of the order of entry and the time.

In this case, a player whose admission order is 1 to 100 can make a machine reservation in the reservation order corresponding to each admission order, but since the machine reservation is made arbitrarily by the player, it is not necessary to make a reservation. May be good. Further, if the player does not make a reservation within 1 minute according to the reservation start time notified by the mobile terminal 37, the player may reserve the desired machine to the player in the later reservation order.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 21, each player whose admission order is 100 or less makes a reservation for the desired machine according to the reservation start time notified (according to the order determined by the reservation order determination means). It can be done at 37. That is, the mobile terminal 37 as the reservation means is configured to reserve the specific gaming machine 1, and the lottery application operation for applying for the admission lottery and the reservation start time using the mobile terminal 37 as the operation means. It is possible to perform a reservation operation for reserving a desired gaming machine 1 when the time is reached.

Although not shown, the entrance lottery menu selection screen is displayed on the display unit 37a of the mobile terminal 37, and the model / serial number is selected on the serial number reservation screen displayed when the serial number reservation is selected on that screen. Reserve.
By the reservation operation on this machine reservation screen, it is possible to make a machine number reservation or a model reservation. In the case of a model reservation, at least one vacancy is secured for the model, but when there is only one vacancy, that machine is actually reserved. You have reserved your turn. Further, when making a machine number reservation or a model reservation on the machine reservation screen, for example, each machine number or model is displayed on a layout showing an arrangement of each game island (game machine 1) in the corresponding game hall. When the desired serial number or model is selected by the touch operation (reservation operation), the serial number or model is reserved, and the screen transitions to the reservation completion screen of FIG. 22.

In the reservation operation by the operating means, the identification information of one specific gaming machine 1 (unit number, ID unique to the gaming machine, etc.) or the identification information indicating the type of the specific gaming machine 1 (model name or model ID). Etc.) may be selected and reserved, and the reservation operation and the lottery application operation may be performed by an operation means (such as a home terminal device) other than the mobile terminal 37.

FIG. 22 shows a reservation completion screen on the mobile terminal 37. On the reservation completion screen, the title 221 and the member number 222, the hall name and date 223, and the reservation completion information 224 are displayed. The reservation completion information 224 includes the specific model name AAA that has been reserved and its serial number, and is displayed together with the message "Reservation completed".
When the machine reservation is completed by 24:00 in (v), the server 39 registers the machine number of the game machine 1 reserved by the player on the mobile terminal 37 in association with the member ID of the player as a reservation list. In this way, the reservation list and the admission lottery list registered by the server 39 are managed as admission lottery data (see FIG. 15) created by combining both lists as admission lottery data, or both lists as separate data. It is transmitted to the device 6. In this way, the server 39 and the management device 6 register the admission lottery list 7, the reservation list, or the admission lottery data as the lottery registration means, the admission lottery list registration means, and the reservation list registration means.

The next day, at 8:45 on (vi), the players who entered as described above will bring their mobile terminals 37 to the site of the amusement park and arrange them at the entrance in the order of entry.
When confirming the entry order of the player, the player displays the entrance lottery menu selection screen on the display unit 37a of the mobile terminal 37, selects the entrance screen on the screen, and selects the entrance screen as shown in FIG. 23. Display the screen. As shown in the figure, the title 231 and the member number 232, the hall name and the date 233, and the lottery result 234 are displayed on the entrance screen. The lottery result 234 represents the "entry No.", "entrance order" and "two-dimensional code" 234a, and also represents the "reservation" machine number when the machine reservation is made. The two-dimensional code 234a records information that can specify the entry order and the like of the player. In this way, the mobile terminal 37 can receive the admission order and the like presented by the server 39 and display it on the display unit 37a.

Admission starts at 9 o'clock, which is the admission start time of (vii), and the admission management terminal 7 confirms the player's admission order and the like by the employee.
Here, a specific configuration of the entrance management terminal 7 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 11, the entrance management terminal 7 includes a PC monitor 7a, a keyboard 7b, and a code reader 7c as display devices. The code reader 7c is used to read the two-dimensional code 234a displayed on the mobile terminal 37 and specify the entry order of the player.

The PC monitor 7a of the entrance management terminal 7 is arranged for employees who operate the keyboard 7b at the entrance, and the code reader 7c is arranged at a position where the two-dimensional code 234a of the mobile terminal 37 can be easily read.
As shown in FIG. 11, the control unit 70 of the entrance management terminal 7 is mainly composed of a microcomputer having a storage unit 70m such as a CPU 70a, a ROM 70b and a RAM 70c, and an I / O 70d. The control unit 70 (hereinafter, abbreviated as "entrance management terminal 7" as appropriate) includes an I / F 70e that transmits and receives various signals and various information to and from the management device 6, a PC monitor 7a, a keyboard 7b, and a code reader. 7c etc. are connected. The storage unit 70m stores the entrance lottery data (see FIG. 15) of the game hall received from the management device 6, the player data associated with the member ID (see FIG. 13), and the like.

As a result, at the time of admission, the two-dimensional code 234a displayed on the mobile terminal 37 is read by the code reader 7c in order from the first aligned player, that is, the first admission order. At this time, the admission management terminal 7 reads the two-dimensional code 234a, specifies the admission order of the player, collates it with the admission lottery data, and displays the face image or the like captured in the member registration procedure on the PC monitor 7a. Display (see FIG. 12).

That is, since the data such as the entrance lottery data and the face image for authentication received by the entrance management terminal 7 are stored in association with the member ID, when the two-dimensional code 234a is read, the data corresponds to the specified entrance order. A face image or the like can be displayed on the PC monitor 7a (see FIG. 12).
Further, as illustrated in FIG. 12, on the PC monitor 7a of the entrance management terminal 7, the "entrance order 001" specified together with the face image, the player's name "○○○○", and the "reservation" stand are displayed. The number "123 series" is displayed. In the screen shown in the figure, in the case of a player who has only reserved a model and has not reserved a machine number, the "model name" is displayed instead of the "reserved" machine number. In the case of a player who has not made a model reservation, "No reservation" is displayed in the "Reservation" column.

In any case, the employee confirms the "entrance order" on the PC monitor 7a, and visually confirms that the player who actually enters and the face image on the PC monitor 7a are the same person, and then the game. Allow people to enter. On the other hand, if the same person cannot be confirmed, admission is refused, or if the admission order on the PC monitor 7a is different from the actual admission order, the order of admission is instructed. To ensure the fairness of lottery and admission.

Then, the player who is allowed to enter selects the gaming machine 1 and sits in front of the gaming machine 1, and the player who has made a reservation for the machine is seated in front of the gaming machine 1 of the corresponding machine number.
In this case, in the reserved game machine 1 with the machine number, the reserved screen S10 at the time of opening of the store shown in FIG. 10 is displayed on the corresponding game information display device 3. On the reserved screen S10, the player "member No. 1234567 (member ID)" and the name "○○○○" of the player who reserved the gaming machine 1 and the gaming machine 1 are "reserved" in the main display area 40. A display indicating that "finished" is made. Also, on the same screen S10, the message "Please insert the card or touch the mobile phone! The reservation will be invalid after 15 minutes" is displayed, and the time for the countdown timer to count down (14:59 in the figure). ) Is also displayed.
The game information display device 3 identifies the member ID and the like of the player who has reserved the game machine 1 based on the reservation list or the admission lottery data received from the management device 6 on the same screen S10 at the start of business. Information can be displayed.

Therefore, the player who has made a reservation for the machine can confirm that the game machine 1 is secured by the reservation on the game information display device 3 immediately after entering the machine, and within 15 minutes, the membership card 29 or the mobile phone can be used. The terminal 37 is touched to the IC reader 35, or the membership card 29 is inserted into the card insertion slot 26a of the lending device 2. As a result, the mobile ID or member ID acquired by the game information display device 3 or the lending device 2 is transmitted to the management device 6, and the management device 6 is registered in the admission lottery data based on the received mobile ID or member ID. The machine number of the game machine 1 reserved by the player concerned is extracted, it is determined whether or not the reserved game machine 1 and the actually seated game machine 1 match, and the determination result is used as game information. It is transmitted to the display device 3.

In this way, the game information display device 3 has the reserved screen S10 on condition that the reserved game machine 1 and the actually seated game machine 1 match (provided that the player who made the machine reservation is authenticated). To the normal display screen S0 or to the screen for displaying the determination result, the player can play the game on the specific machine number without invalidating the reservation. The game information display device 3 (display means) may display the determination result by the management device 6 with more direct contents. For example, when the above conditions are not satisfied, "confirm the machine number of the reserved game machine". Please do it. "

As described above, in the game information display device 3, the management device 6, the server 39, the mobile terminal 37, etc. in the management system for the game hall, the player can arbitrarily reserve a specific game machine 1 before the start of business. It corresponds to a reservation method.
Further, as described above, the game information display device 3 and the lending device 2 correspond to identification information acquisition means for acquiring, for example, a mobile ID or a member ID as identification information of a player, and the management device 6 acquires the identification information. Based on the mobile ID and member ID of the player acquired by the means, the machine number of the game machine 1 reserved by the player registered in the admission lottery data (reservation list) is extracted, and the reserved game machine 1 is extracted. It corresponds to a determination means for determining whether or not the game machine 1 actually seated matches the game machine 1.

When the player starts the game on the gaming machine 1, the face image is captured by the camera 22 (identification information acquisition means) of the corresponding lending device 2 and transmitted to the management device 6. In this case, the image pickup field of view of the camera 22 is set to be an area including the face of the player in a state where the player faces the game machine 1 (that is, the image pickup range is the same as that of the face image of FIG. 12). Is set to be).

As a result, the management device 6 searches for the face image transmitted from the lending device 2 side from the face images for authentication, and sets the serial number of the gaming machine 1 reserved by the player of the corresponding face image. It is possible to extract and determine whether or not the reserved gaming machine 1 and the actually seated gaming machine 1 match. Further, when the management device 6 determines that the reserved gaming machine 1 and the actually seated gaming machine 1 do not match, the management device 6 confirms this with the employee via the income device (not shown). It is possible to notify the machine number of the machine and urge the player to visually confirm it, or to have the game information display device 3 display the determination result to the player.

<Data management in management equipment>
13 to 19 are explanatory views illustrating a part of various data aggregated and managed by the management device 6, and the management device 6, the monitor 6a, and the printer use a part or all of the various data as output means. Display output and print output are possible.

Of these, FIG. 13 shows the member attribute data of one player. The member attribute data includes data of "name", "age", "occupation", "address", "face image", and "need attention" of the player who has registered as a member, and stores the management device 6 in association with the member ID. It is stored in the part 60a.
The "face image" is voluntarily registered by the player at the time of the member registration procedure as the face image for authentication, but when using the web admission lottery service, the registration of the face image is indispensable. The "Caution" flag indicated by "F" in the figure arbitrarily sets the players who need attention, such as players who are regarded as professionals and players who have bad behavior, at the discretion of the game field manager or employees. You can (register). Further, the "attention required" flag is an example of attribute information indicating the nature of the player, and the attribute information is a non-excellent player such as a caution player, or a player in which information indicating an excellent player is stored. It suffices if it is stored as data that can be extracted.

FIG. 14 shows the game history data for each member showing the game result of one member (player) on one business day. The member game history data includes the "unit number" and "model ID" of the game machine 1, the game "start time" and "end time" of the model, and "out", "safe" and "difference ball". It includes data and is stored in the storage unit 60a of the management device 6 in association with the member ID.

As described above, FIG. 14 can be said to represent the function of the management device 6 as a game model recording means for recording the model ID played by the player in association with the member ID of the player. Here, the "model ID" is an ID that can identify the model of the gaming machine 1, and in the case of the same model, it is represented by the same ID. Further, it is assumed that the model ID is set in advance to be associated with the serial number. The "start time" and "end time" correspond to the card insertion / return time of the membership card 29, and the "difference ball" is obtained by out (consumption value) -safe (winning value).

FIG. 15 shows admission lottery data for one business day. The admission lottery data includes the above-mentioned "entry No.", "entry time", "entry order", and "reservation unit number", and is stored in the storage unit 60a of the management device 6 in association with the member ID. In this case, the admission lottery data has a data structure including reservation information in which the member ID and the machine number (reserved machine number) reserved by the player are associated with each other.

The admission lottery data can be transmitted from the server 39 to the management device 6 by 24:00, that is, the day before the business day when the above-mentioned (v) unit reservation ends, but it is managed by the business start of the business day at the latest. It may be transmitted so that it can be registered in the device 6 and assigned a set value described later. In the "Reservation unit number" column in the same figure, since the entry order is 100 or later (205), it is represented by a blank "-" that cannot be reserved, and even if it is within 100, reservations can be made. If not, it is represented by a blank.

FIG. 16 shows model-specific reservation data for one business day. The model-specific reservation data includes data on the installation "number", "reservation number", and "reservation rate" of the model for each "model ID", and the management device 6 uses the reservation number and reservation rate for the business day as the model. It is separately totaled and calculated and stored in the storage unit 60a.

That is, the management device 6 (calculation means, output means) identifies the "model ID" recorded in association with the member ID of the player registered based on the admission lottery data of the business day, and is used for each model. The number of players who participated in the lottery and made a reservation for a machine is calculated as the "number of reservations" and output.
The "reservation rate" is a percentage of the "number of reservations" in the "number of units" installed for each model. In addition, the number of players who participated in the lottery may be either the total number of participating players (the number of web participation in each game hall) or a part (the number of reservations), that is, whether or not there is a reservation for the number. Of course, it is possible to calculate and output by the management device 6 regardless.

FIG. 17 shows the model-specific set value distribution data set based on the “reservation rate”. The model-specific set value distribution data includes the "estimated payout rate" and "average set value" of the relevant model for each "model ID", and the management device 6 sets the estimated payout rate and average set value for the relevant business day. It is automatically calculated and stored in the storage unit 60a. Here, the assumed payout rate is set to a higher value as the model has a higher reservation rate, as illustrated below.
Reservation rate 80% or more = Estimated ball output rate 100%
Reservation rate 50% or more = Estimated ball output rate 98%
Reservation rate 30% or more = Estimated ball output rate 96%
Reservation rate less than 30% = Estimated payout rate 95%

As a result, the management device 6 sets an assumed ball ejection rate according to the reservation rate for each model, and obtains an average set value based on the specifications of each model (ball ejection rate of each set value). Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17, the assumed payout rates “100%”, “98%”, and “96%” are set in the order of the model IDs “1”, “3”, and “2” having the highest reservation rates. At the same time, it can be seen that there is a corresponding relationship between the average setting values such as "3.3", "2.1", and "1.5".

FIG. 18 shows the ball ejection rate setting value data for each gaming machine set based on the machine-specific setting value distribution data. The ball output rate setting value data for each gaming machine is the "setting value" assigned to the gaming machine 1 belonging to each model according to the average setting value for each "model ID" and the "unit number" of the gaming machine 1. Is stored in the storage unit 60a as set value information associated with. In this case, the management device 6 automatically sets the set value of each gaming machine 1 on the business day and creates the set value information.

That is, the management device 6 allocates the set value to be assigned to each gaming machine 1 so as to match the previously obtained average set value for each model based on the model-specific set value distribution data. In this regard, the set values "6", "3", and "3" in FIG. 18 exemplify higher values than the average set values "3.3", "2.1", and "1.5" in FIG. 17, but are not shown. It suffices that the overall average (average of each model) including the set value of the serial number is assigned so as to be close to the corresponding average set value.

As described above, the management device 6 refers to the gaming machine 1 belonging to each model based on the number of players calculated as the calculation means (that is, based on the average set value obtained from the calculated number of reservations). It is configured as a setting value allocation means for allocating set values.
Further, in the management device 6, the employee can arbitrarily change the set value of the specific unit number by manually inputting it with the keyboard 6b or the like. In this way, the set value data of the payout rate for each gaming machine is displayed and output or printed out, and the employee performs an operation of changing the set value of each gaming machine 1 before the start of business.

In this way, a relatively large set value of a high ball ejection rate is distributed to a model (model ID "1" in FIG. 18) whose operating rate is predicted to be high from the number of players calculated by the calculation means, while operating. For models that are predicted to have a low rate (model ID "2"), a relatively large number of set values with a low ball output rate will be distributed.

In other words, in the distribution of the ball output rate set value, even if the management device 6 calculates the number of players who participated in the lottery for each model from the past game results of each player, it is calculated. Based on the number of players, a large number of high winning probability setting values are assigned to a model having a large number of players, and a large number of low winning probability setting values are assigned to a model having a small number of players.
In this way, by allocating the payout rate set value that reflects the result of the lottery, the game hall side can secure an appropriate profit and at the same time, can sufficiently give back to the player.

FIG. 19 shows the player list data requiring attention. As for the player list data requiring attention, the data obtained by extracting only the data of the players requiring attention from the admission lottery data and adding the payout rate “set value” as a data item is stored in the storage unit 60a. Therefore, the player list data requiring attention is the same as the entrance lottery data in FIG. 15, "entry number" to "reservation unit number", "attention required" with the flag "F", and "set value". It is represented by the data item of.

As described above, the management device 6 extracts the reservation information of the player who stores the flag "F" as the specific attribute information from the reservation information stored as the admission lottery data in the reservation information storage means. Functions as an extraction means. Then, the management device 6 reads out the set value (see FIG. 18) stored in association with the unit number included in the extracted reservation information, and sets the specific player in which the set value and the reservation information are associated with each other. It can be displayed or printed out as player list data requiring attention including value information.

Further, in the management device 6, after confirming the reserved number of the player requiring attention, the set value of the low payout rate can be assigned to the number (see the set value "1" in FIG. 19). For example, this allocation may be performed by automatically setting the setting value "1" of the low ball output rate in addition to the automatic extraction based on the caution flag by the management device 6. This can be reflected in the operation of changing the set value by the employee performed before the start of business.

<Viewing my data (game results / admission lottery results) on mobile terminals>
FIG. 24 shows the menu selection of my data (game record) on the menu screen displayed on the display unit 37a of the mobile terminal 37, and the user wants to browse from the menu selection list in the my data (game record) menu selection screen. Shows the game record viewing screen that is displayed when data is selected.

As shown in the figure, the title 241 and the member number 242, the game record "No." 243, the hall name and the model and the machine number 244, and the game record 245 are displayed on the game record browsing screen. The "game time" in the game record 245 column is the above-mentioned login time to logout time, the "cumulative start number" is the number of big hit lottery, and the "difference number" is the number of payout balls (number of granted game media) -inserted balls. Represents a number (number of game media consumed).
Although not shown in the figure, various types of data such as a graph showing the time transition of the number of difference balls and detailed data of each jackpot can be displayed on the "game record viewing" screen. The server 39 has accumulated data for the latest one year for My Data, and the player can specify a date (or period) in the past one year and display the game record 245 on that date.

FIG. 25 is displayed when the menu of My Data (admission lottery record) is selected on the menu screen and the data to be viewed is selected from the menu selection list in the My Data (admission lottery record) menu selection screen. The entrance lottery result viewing screen is shown.

As shown in the figure, the title 251, the member number 252, and the admission lottery record 253 are displayed on the admission lottery record viewing screen. In the column of the admission lottery record 253, the "number of lottery" in the total "period", the "front order" and "last order" in the admission order, the lottery date, and the "average" in the admission order in the relevant period are shown.
The admission lottery results (entrance lottery history data) in the figure are data aggregated separately for each amusement park, and the same screen for each amusement park can be displayed. In addition, daily admission lottery history data can also be displayed in a list, and although not shown, for example, "November 11, 2017 Number of entries: 157 Entry No. 51 Admission order (winning order): 95" It may be displayed.

According to the playground management system of the present embodiment described above, the reservation information of the player can be extracted based on the attribute information of the non-excellent player such as the player requiring attention or the excellent player. While confirming the reservation information, for example, it is possible to assign a high ball output rate setting value to a good player, and to assign a low ball output rate setting value to a non-excellent player. By performing such an operation, it is expected that the effect of suppressing the visit of non-excellent players while increasing the motivation of excellent players to visit the store can be expected.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified or extended as follows.
(Modified example of table reservation)
・ Although only the players from 1st to 100th in the order of admission can make a reservation, the number of players who can make a reservation can be set as appropriate, even if all the entered players can make a reservation. good.

・ The time when the car reservation is possible is shifted by 1 minute in the order of admission, but the time to shift can be set as appropriate. Further, the same reservation start time may be assigned to a plurality of players.
・ It is not necessary to provide the car reservation service, only the admission lottery service. In this case, the player selects an arbitrary platform number after entering the venue and plays the game.
・ It is a prerequisite to make a reservation for a car, and if you do not make a reservation for a car, the result of the admission lottery may be invalidated.

(Variation example of distribution of ball output rate setting value)
-A specific ball output rate setting value can be assigned according to the player's attributes. For example, as described with reference to FIG. 19, a set value having a low payout rate can be unconditionally assigned to a machine number reserved by a player requiring attention. As a result, the motivation of the players requiring attention to visit the store can be reduced, and the effect of eliminating the players requiring attention can be expected.
On the contrary, it is possible to assign a set value having a high payout rate to a good player when the latest game result is not good. As a result, it can be expected that excellent players will be locked in.
-If the machine reservation service is not implemented, the operating rate of each model may be predicted according to the past game performance of each player who entered the admission lottery, and the operating rate may be replaced with the reservation rate and output. .. Further, the distribution of the ball ejection rate set value may be performed by automatic calculation based on the above operating rate.

(Modified example of the admission lottery mechanism)
-Various limited conditions can be added as entry conditions for the web lottery.
(Example 1) A limited condition is added to the player's attributes (gender, age, occupation, etc.). For example, every Monday is for women only, and every 25th to 31st is for office workers only.
(Example 2) A limited condition is added to the player's game performance (store visit point, game time, etc.). For example, on the 7th of every month, only members with 100 or more visit points can enter, and on the 1st of every month, only members with 50 hours or more of the previous month can enter.
(Example 3) A limited condition is added to the entry possible time zone according to the player's game performance. For example, the following time zone is set according to the store visit points (1 point is given in one day of visit).
100 or more = entry is possible from 0:00 on the day until the deadline
50-99 = Entry is possible from 8:00 on the day until the deadline
0-49 = No entry (Example 4) A limited condition is added to the number of entries per month according to the player's game performance. For example, the following number of entries is set according to the store visit points.
