BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a game hall where a plurality of gaming machines that perform an operation of paying out a predetermined amount of game media as a prize when a predetermined gaming state is realized, such as a pachinko gaming machine or a slot machine, Game halls in which the game media paid out from each gaming machine are grouped according to the group to which the gaming machine belongs, and the game media are managed by setting the unit price of the gaming media at the time of replacement for each group It relates to a management device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Currently, game machines such as various types of pachinko machines and slot machines are installed in the game hall.
In the amusement hall, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, a layout is provided in which a large number of gaming machine islands 1 in which a plurality of gaming machines are arranged side by side on a top board. Further, in the game hall, in order to count the number of game media lending machines 2 for renting game media to the game machines targeted by the player and the number of game media possessed by the player at the end of the game. A plurality of game medium counters 3 are installed.
[0003]
In each gaming machine island 1, these gaming machines are installed back-to-back for every two gaming machines, and in the two gaming machine islands 1, a plurality of gaming machines facing each other are placed on the same course. It is called a gaming machine belonging to.
In amusement halls, the same type of gaming machine is generally installed on the same gaming machine island 1, or the same type of gaming machine is a gaming machine belonging to the same course.
[0004]
In such a game hall, in the game of the current mainstream type of pachinko machine, the player inserts cash or a prepaid card into the game medium lending machine 2 at the start of the game, thereby playing the pachinko ball of the game medium. Borrow only the quantity according to the amount. The unit price of one pachinko ball at the time of borrowing is standardized at 4 yen.
As shown in FIG. 4, the pachinko gaming machine has a game board 50 that constitutes a space for moving the pachinko balls, and the game board 50 is installed so as to be substantially parallel to the vertical direction. ing. Although not shown in the drawing, a glass plate covers the game board 50 so as to keep a certain distance from the game board 50.
[0005]
The pachinko gaming machine has a launching mechanism (not shown) for launching pachinko balls in a space partitioned by the game board 50 and the glass plate.
Further, the pachinko gaming machine constitutes a part of a launching mechanism, and a launching handle 60 for a player to launch a pachinko ball and a tray for storing a payout ball to be paid out as a prize to the pachinko gaming machine. 70.
[0006]
The player throws the pachinko balls borrowed by the game medium lending machine 2 into the tray 70 of the pachinko gaming machine. Then, when the firing handle 60 is rotated by a desired angle, the pachinko balls stored in the tray 70 are fired one by one at a strength corresponding to the rotational angle.
The pachinko gaming machine is provided with a guide rail 51 that feeds the pachinko ball fired by the launching handle 60 to the upper position in the vertical direction of the game board 50 so as to surround the game board 50.
[0007]
Therefore, the pachinko balls that are launched and guided to the upper position by the guide rail 51 and are driven into the upper part of the game board 50 start to fall freely along the game board 50, The course is irregularly changed by hitting a nail (hereinafter simply referred to as “nail”).
In the game board 50, a winning portion 52, a specific winning portion 53, a variable winning portion 54, and a winning portion 52, a specific winning portion, which allow a pachinko ball to enter and be discharged to the back of the gaming board 50. 53 and one out-ball discharge section 55 are provided on the back of the game board 50 where pachinko balls that have not entered any of the prize winning sections 54 are finally collected. The pachinko balls discharged from the out ball discharge portion 55 are collected at the game hall side.
[0008]
The variable winning portion 54 has a lid and is normally closed so that the lid is integrated with the game board 50. When the special prize state occurs, the lid is opened. By shifting to the open state, the pachinko ball becomes easy to enter the variable winning portion 54 and changes to a state advantageous to the player.
In the game board 50, when a falling pachinko ball enters the winning portion 52 or the specific winning portion 53, a predetermined number (for example, seven) of pachinko balls are paid out to the tray 70.
[0009]
Further, the game board 50 starts operating when a pachinko ball enters the specific winning portion 53, and is controlled by a control device provided therein, so that any one of a plurality of game states prepared in advance is used. A game state providing unit 56 that performs an operation of providing one type of game state is provided. The control device controls the operation of the gaming state providing unit 56 so that a predetermined gaming state of a plurality of types of gaming states is provided with a predetermined probability.

When the gaming state provided by the gaming state providing unit 56 is a predetermined gaming state, the variable winning unit 54 shifts to the open state a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times). Note that the variable winning portion 54 shifts to a closed state when a predetermined number (for example, 10) of pachinko balls enter or a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds) elapses in the open state. In addition, for each of the pachinko balls that have entered the variable winning portion 54, a predetermined number (for example, 15) of pachinko balls are paid out to the tray 70.
[0011]
A pachinko ball paid out from the pachinko machine to the tray 70 will be referred to as a “payout ball”, and a payout ball stored in a ball box and exchanged for a free gift will be referred to as a “prize ball”.
[0012]
Normally, the number of payout balls to be paid out from the pachinko machine to the receiving tray 70 when the variable winning portion 54 enters the open state when it is in the special prize state is about 2,400, and these payout balls are Therefore, the player cannot store the payout balls paid out to the receiving tray 70 in a ball box prepared in the game hall.
Then, at the end of the game, the player can exchange the pachinko balls remaining at hand (for example, premium balls stored in a ball box) for various types of premiums according to the quantity.
[0013]
Specifically, when the player installs a ball box in which a prize ball is stored in a predetermined part of the game medium counter 3, the game medium counter 3 determines the quantity of the prize balls stored in the ball box. Count and issue a receipt printed with the counting result or a card recording the counting result. Therefore, the player brings the receipt or card issued by the game medium counter 3 to the prize exchange counter, and after confirming the counting result, obtains a prize according to the quantity of prize balls as the counting result.
[0014]
Some prizes include cash that can be exchanged for cash.Many players acquire cash and exchange cash for cash at a cash exchange different from the amusement hall. ing.
Normally, the unit price of one prize ball at the time of exchange is set to a different amount for each game hall, but this amount is common to all game machines in the game hall.
[0015]
On the other hand, conventionally, the nail adjustment of the pachinko machine has adjusted the clearance between both nails through which the pachinko ball should pass, the direction of the nail, and the like based on data such as the divisor and the profit rate. The nail adjustment is performed by examining the data of the day or the data for one week after closing. Data such as the percentage and profit margin for each group to which the pachinko machine belongs, such as the model of the pachinko machine, is not calculated, and no nail adjustment is made for each group to which the pachinko machine belongs.
In addition, at game arcades, there is a bias in the number of balls that a player acquires, and for example, there is no tendency for only one player, such as a skilled person, to make a profit, and the pachinko machine's ability to attract customers Strives to improve.
[0016]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the nail adjustment based on the above data, even if the gap between the nails and the direction of the nail are adjusted, there is no change in the number of balls acquired by each player, and the average number of prize balls is given to all players. Without going around, the “single-win” trend as described above continues, but for those who have little experience, such as beginners, it is difficult to acquire a lot of prizes, and profits do not increase. There was a problem that it gradually became far from the venue, and the number of players decreased as a whole, which was not a fundamental measure to increase the attracting ability of the amusement hall.
