BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wagon service device for a game arcade, which facilitates a delivery service to a player.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a plurality of pachinko machines as game machines are arranged side by side on a plurality of islands provided in a pachinko parlor (pachinko hall). A pachinko ball container is installed in a part of the pachinko parlor or in a part of the island, and the pachinko ball circulates between the pachinko ball container and a plurality of pachinko machines. That is, these pachinko machines are of a full store type, an island reduction type or the like in which the pachinko balls in the pachinko ball container are circulated to a plurality of pachinko machines.

[0003] Pachinko parlors are installing as many pachinko machines as possible to increase profits, and as a result, there is a narrow passage between islands. In addition, players who enjoy pachinko machines select their pachinko machines through the narrow passage between the island and the island, and put predetermined money into the money input section of the pachinko ball lending machine juxtaposed with the pachinko machines Then, the pachinko balls of the inserted amount are discharged into a pachinko ball tray provided on the front of the pachinko machine, thereby enjoying playing the pachinko machine.

On the other hand, in a pachinko parlor or the like where hundreds of gamers enter and leave per day, it is also necessary to know when, where and who is entering, and the occupation and age of the entering customer. Absent. Therefore, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-47169 (A
In 63F7 / 02), a membership card is issued to easily grasp a customer who is a player or a unified customer.

[0005] In this case, the pachinko parlor stores the number of balls to be counted and registered in the host computer by the player using the membership card, the number of special awards, the number of start after the special awards,
We receive services such as confirmation of the number of balls shot in after the special award or addition of points. As a result, the pachinko parlor easily grasps the occupation, age, address, and the like of the customer entering the pachinko parlor.

[0006] When such a player becomes a member of a pachinko parlor, predetermined items such as occupation, age, address, etc. are described in a membership card application form provided at a predetermined position in the pachinko parlor. Then, the contents described in the membership card application form, the member number dedicated to the member, the pachinko parlor number, and the like are registered in the host computer. When the registration process is completed, a membership card on which the membership number is recorded is issued to a card producing company or the like, and the membership card is delivered to the player several days later.

On the other hand, a player enjoying playing the pachinko machine secures the pachinko machine in use, for example, by putting personal items on a shelf in front of the pachinko machine, and drinking at the vending machine installed in the pachinko machine. Or a temporary rest, such as recovery from fatigue, by purchasing a drink or snack outside the pachinko parlor. In this case, when the patrons take a temporary rest, the pachinko machine was temporarily stopped and played, and the sales of the pachinko parlors were reduced.

For this reason, even if an order is placed during the wagon service, it is impossible to respond to the next order without returning to the service counter once, and there has been a problem that the pachinko store must secure a large number of clerks to deal with this.

[0010] When a player becomes a member of a pachinko parlor, he or she must go to a membership card application form provided at a predetermined position in the pachinko parlor, and go there and enter the membership card application form. There was a problem that the number of pachinko parlors was slow to increase and the number of pachinko parlors was stagnant.

[0011] In addition, since the member card does not reach the player unless the member submits the membership card application form to the pachinko parlor, the member must wait a few days before the member submits the membership card application form to the pachinko parlor. There was a problem that you can not use the benefits as.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems of the prior art, and provides a wagon service device for a game arcade in which the contents of a delivery order can be grasped while moving and the number of members can be increased while moving. The purpose is to do.
