[0019]
First, the pachinko machine 2 that is a gaming machine used in the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the pachinko machine 2 has a glass door frame 202 formed in a frame shape, and is formed on the lower surface of the glass door frame 202. Has a hitting ball supply tray 203. The operation unit 14 is provided at a predetermined position on the upper surface of the hitting ball supply tray 203, and the lower ball hitting tray 203 is fired with a surplus ball receiving tray 204 for storing premium balls overflowing from the hitting ball supply tray 203 and hitting balls. A hitting ball operating handle (hereinafter referred to as an operating knob) 205 is provided.
[0020]
Further, on the upper surface of the operation unit 14, a frequency display unit 17 (see FIG. 3) for displaying the frequency read from the member card and the visitor card in the card unit 3, and the start of the game or the hitting ball supply tray Lending button switch in which a predetermined number of pachinko balls are lent out by the pachinko machine 2 when the frequency is displayed in the frequency display unit 17 by being pressed when the number of balls held in 203 decreases or disappears 16 (see FIG. 3) and a return button switch 15 (see FIG. 3) for returning the member card and the visitor card being accepted by the card unit 3 at the end of the game. Is mounted on an operation board 18 (see FIG. 3) provided in the operation unit 14.
[0021]
A game board 206 is detachably attached to the rear of the glass door frame 202 as shown in FIG. A game area 207 is provided on the front surface of the game board 206. In the vicinity of the center of the game area 207, a special variation display unit 209 that displays a plurality of types of identification information called “special symbols” and a plurality of types of identification information called “ordinary symbols” are displayed in a variable manner. A fluctuation display unit 210 is provided. The game board 206 also includes a variable start winning ball device 213 composed of a plurality of winning ports 224, a passing gate 211, a variable winning port 214 and a movable piece 215, and a variable winning ball device including an opening / closing plate 220 that is opened in a big hit state. 216 is provided, and at the lower part of the game area 207, an out port 226 for collecting the hit balls that have not won is formed.
[0022]
A hit ball fired by a hammer (not shown) that is swung by the operation of the hit ball operation knob 205 enters the game area 207 through the hit ball rail, and then flows down the game area 207. At this time, pachinko balls whose launch momentum is too weak to reach the game area 207 are circulated to the surplus ball receiving tray 204 through a circulation path (not shown).
[0023]
Further, when the ball that has been driven into the game area 207 passes through the passing gate 211, the normal symbol that is stopped and displayed on the normal variation display unit 210 starts to change.
[0024]
When the display result after the fluctuation display operation of the normal fluctuation display unit 210 becomes a predetermined specific display result (for example, 7), the movable piece 215 provided in the variable start winning ball apparatus 213 is for the player. The first state that is advantageous for the player is established from the disadvantageous second state for a predetermined time (in this embodiment, 0.5 seconds).
[0025]
Further, when the pachinko ball wins the variable winning opening 214, the special variation display unit 209 starts displaying all the special symbols in a variable manner. After that, when the left, middle and right special symbols are stopped and the stop display result is a predetermined display mode (for example, 777 or 444), a specific gaming state (big hit state) occurs. To do. When the big hit state occurs in this way, the opening / closing plate 220 provided in the variable winning ball apparatus 216 is opened and becomes a first state advantageous to the player. This first state ends when a predetermined period (for example, 30 seconds) or a predetermined number of hit balls (for example, 10) wins, whichever comes first, and then for the player This is a disadvantageous second state. If a hit ball that has entered the large winning opening of the variable winning ball apparatus 216 in the first state wins a specific winning area (V pocket) and is detected by a V count switch (not shown), the first time of the time Waiting for the end of the state, the repeated continuation control for controlling from the second state to the first state is performed. The upper limit number of the repeated continuation control is set to 15 times, for example.
[0026]
A special display mode in which the left, middle, and right special symbols variably displayed in the special variation display unit 209 are stopped and displayed with a combination of jackpot symbols (for example, 777 and 333) matching a predetermined probability variation symbol; When it becomes, after the end of the “big hit” by the repeated continuation control, the probability of becoming a big hit again becomes a probability fluctuation state in which the probability state becomes higher than the normal probability state. Big hits are called “probable big hits” by distinguishing them from “normal big hits” other than the probability variation symbols (for example, 444 and 888). Output to the outside.
[0027]
In these probability variation states, the fact that the probability variation state is informed by changing the lighting mode of the game effect lamp or the like to a mode corresponding to the probability variation state, and until the next jackpot occurs The frequency at which the movable piece 215 provided in the variable start winning ball apparatus 213 is in the first state advantageous to the player is usually the time from the start of the variable display of the variable display device 210 to the stop display. (In this embodiment, the time from the change display to the stop display is shortened from 30 seconds to 3 seconds in the normal game state), and the movable piece 215 is opened. When the period of time is extended from the normal gaming state (0.5 seconds is extended to 3 seconds in the normal gaming state), the fluctuation display on the special fluctuation display unit 209 is started. Together they are is likely state holding, by winning balls with the above start dynamic winning are paid out, in these in the probability change state, ball has the player is prevented from greatly reduced.
[0028]
If the jackpot that occurred in these probability fluctuation states is again a “probability variation jackpot” according to the probability variation pattern, it becomes a probability variation state again after the jackpot state ends, and these probability variation states are in the probability variation state. When the generated big hit is a “probable big hit”, the big hit state is continuously generated by continuing.
[0029]
In addition, when the big hit that occurred in the probability fluctuation state is a “normal big hit” other than the probability fluctuation symbol, after the big hit state ends, the fluctuation display is not performed, but the probability fluctuation state. Time until the movable piece 215 provided in the variable prize opening 214 changes to the first state advantageous to the player is improved until the unit 209 performs the variable display operation a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). A state (normally advantageous state) occurs.
[0030]
The improvement in the frequency at which the movable piece 215, which is the first state advantageous to the player in the short-time state, is in the open state is substantially the same as the improvement in the opening frequency of the movable piece 215 during the probability change. The time from the change display of the normal symbol 210 to the stop display is shorter than the normal game state (in this embodiment, the time from the change display to the stop display is reduced from 30 seconds to 3 seconds in the normal game state). In addition, the period during which the movable piece 215 is opened is extended from the normal gaming state (0.5 seconds is extended to 3 seconds in the normal gaming state), so that the special variation display unit 209 In this state, the player can have a large amount of money in the short-time state by maintaining the state in which the start-up prize is easily displayed and the prize ball accompanying the start-up prize is paid out. So as not to Ku decrease.
[0031]
In this embodiment, the improvement in the frequency at which the movable piece 215, which is the first state advantageous to the player during the short time state, is in the open state is the same as that in the case of the previous probability fluctuation state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these modes of increasing the frequency may be made into individual modes during the short-time state and the probability fluctuation.
[0032]
Further, in the pachinko machine 2 according to the present embodiment, even after the “normal big hit” that occurs when the short-time state is not in the probability-variable state, the short-time state is displayed on the fluctuation display unit 209 in a variable manner. It is given until the operation is performed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times). That is, in the pachinko machine 2 of the present embodiment, the time-short state is given after the completion of all “normal big hits”. Incidentally, in the pachinko machine 2 used in the present embodiment, the number of times of change display operation in a short time state (for example, 100 times) given after the end of the “normal jackpot” that occurs in other than the state of probability change is the probability change. Although it is the same as the number of times of variable display operation (for example, 100 times) in the short time state given after the end of the “normal jackpot” that occurred in the state, the present invention is not limited to this, and the probability variation state Time-varying state variable display operation given after the end of the "normal big hit" that occurred outside the medium, the time-short state variable display operation given after the end of the "normal big hit" that occurred during the probability fluctuation state The number of variable display operations (for example, 30 times) smaller than the number of times may be set.
[0033]
Further, in the pachinko machine 2 according to the present embodiment, even when a “normal big hit” occurs during the short time state, a new short time state is given after the end of the “normal big hit”. Yes.
[0034]
Further, the pachinko machine 2 in the above embodiment is given the time-short state (ordinary advantageous state) after completion of all “normal jackpots”, but the present invention is limited to this. Instead, a pachinko machine that does not give a short-time state (ordinary advantageous state) may be used in the case of a “normal big hit” other than the probability variation symbol during the normal gaming state.

[0106]
Hereinafter, ball lending processing, deposit processing, and replay processing in the gaming system of the present embodiment will be described.
[0107]
First, in the startup process based on power-on, the card unit 3 confirms the connection status and operation status of each unit and confirms whether communication with the management computer 100 is possible. The communication state with 100 is notified, and the state of waiting for insertion of the membership card or visitor card into the card insertion slot 319 is entered. In this state, game information (table data; see FIG. 24) of the corresponding pachinko machine 2 is displayed on the color liquid crystal panel 303 as a predetermined default screen.
[0108]
In this state, when a member card or a visitor card is inserted into the card insertion slot 319, a card insertion signal is output to the display operation unit 321 so that the menu screen shown in FIG. It is displayed on the color liquid crystal panel 303 so that the television function can be used.
[0109]
Next, the card ID and frequency are read from the inserted membership card or visitor card, and the read data is temporarily stored in the read data storage area of the RAM 330. In the case of a visitor card, the card ID and remaining frequency data are also stored. If the inserted card is a membership card, the card ID, the remaining frequency data, and the membership ID are transmitted to the management computer 100 together with a use permission request.
[0110]
Based on the reception of the card ID, the remaining frequency data, and the use permission request, the management computer 100 first determines whether or not the usable store code in the card ID matches the store code of the game hall. It is determined whether the received card is a card that can be used at the game hall, that is, a house card, and when the usable store code matches the store code of the game hall, the usable store It is determined whether or not a card ID that matches the lower serial number of the code is registered (exists).
[0111]
When it is determined that the card ID is registered (exists) in the determination of the card ID, the remaining frequency data stored in the card management database in association with the card ID is extracted and the received remaining frequency data When the received remaining frequency data is not larger than the extracted remaining frequency data, it is determined that the card is legitimate and the use permission of the card is transmitted to the control unit 328. If the received residual frequency data is smaller than the extracted residual frequency data, it is determined that the frequency used when offline is present and the residual frequency data in the card management database is updated to the received residual frequency data. If the received residual frequency data is larger than the extracted residual frequency data, a frequency error is transmitted to the control unit 328.
[0112]
If these reply contents are a license, the remaining frequency stored in the frequency data storage area is displayed on the frequency display unit 309 and the frequency display unit 17, and then the operation waits for a pressing operation of the lending button switch 16.
[0113]
At this stage, when the player presses the lending button switch 16, after determining whether the remaining frequency is “0”, the control unit 328 determines the PRDY output from the pachinko machine 2. When HIGH / LOW is determined and PRDY is HIGH, a predetermined error process is performed, and the lending process is terminated.
[0114]
When PRDY is LOW, after BRDY is switched to LOW, BRQ is set to LOW, and it waits for the detection of EXS HIGH from the pachinko machine 2, and BRQ is set based on the detection of EXS LOW. Switch to HIGH and wait for detection of EXS HIGH.
[0115]
Next, when the payout for one degree in the pachinko machine 2 is completed and the HIGH of the EXS is detected, the MPU 329 subtracts and updates the frequency stored in the frequency data storage area once, and the frequency of the frequency display units 17 and 309 The number of BRQs is counted and the number of BRQs counted and the number of lending units set by the lending unit change button switch 306 (in the present embodiment, one lending process by default) Since the lending process for 5 degrees is executed, the default is 5 times.
[0116]
If the number of BRQs counted and the number of lending units do not match in this comparison, the one-time payout process is performed again, and the number counted in the comparison with the number of lending units is as follows. When the number of BRQs and the number of lending units match, BRDY is set to HIGH, the frequency subtracted in the above (frequency of use), the card ID, and the current time output from the real-time clock (RTC) 333 Is registered in the card usage history storage area, the number of game balls corresponding to the frequency is lent out from the gaming machine, and the player can play a game in the pachinko machine 2.
[0117]
When the remaining number of times becomes 10 degrees or less due to these games, it is possible to perform additional depositing by inserting banknotes from the banknote insertion slot 302. The banknote received by the banknote insertion slot 302 is identified, and when the identification result is not normal in the identification result, the accepted banknote is returned and the deposit process is terminated.
[0118]
Further, when the identification result is normal, it is determined whether the remaining frequency stored in the frequency data storage area is equal to or less than a predetermined frequency that can be deposited, and in the determination, it is equal to or less than 10 frequency. Only in the case, the deposit process is continued, the frequency corresponding to the identified banknote amount is set as the additional frequency, and the set additional frequency is displayed on the frequency display units 17 and 309.
[0119]
Next, the control unit 328 adds and updates the set addition frequency to the remaining frequency in the frequency data storage area, and adds the added addition frequency (deposit frequency) to the deposit frequency stored in the deposit data storage area. In addition, in the card usage history storage area, a deposit history including the added frequency (deposit frequency), the card ID, and the current time output from the real time clock (RTC) 333 is registered. The new frequency in the frequency data storage area that has been added and updated is updated and displayed on the frequency display units 17 and 309, so that the new frequency can be used in the game.
[0120]
Next, replay processing that can be performed when the card inserted into the card insertion slot 319 is a membership card will be described with reference to FIG.
[0121]
In this case, when the member card to be used is inserted, the member card reception notification including the member ID data read from the magnetic stripe and stored in the member ID storage area and the device ID has already been sent to the member management computer. By being transmitted to 120, the member management computer 120 determines whether the registration corresponding to the received member ID exists in the member information table (correct / incorrect determination). At the same time, the game start time and the machine number corresponding to the received device ID are registered in the member visit history of the member visit history database (DB) shown in FIG. When it is determined whether or not the date of visit registered corresponding to the member ID is today's date, and the date of visit is not today's date , It is determined that the said association members has visited, items of the visit date is updated to today's date, 1 the number of visits to the store of the member of the member information table has been added.
[0122]
Furthermore, the member management computer 120 updates the registered contents of the “status” corresponding to the received device ID in the unit management table shown in FIG. 8 from “standby” to “accepting”, and the received The member ID is registered in the item “Receiving Member Card ID”.
[0123]
In this state, when the play selection key switch 316 is operated, a numeric key is displayed on the color liquid crystal panel 303 to accept the input of a password, and the received password and member ID are received. A storage use permission request including the device ID is transmitted to the member management computer 120.
[0124]
Based on the receipt of the savings ball use permission request, the member management computer 120 extracts the number of saving balls and the password registered in the member information table in association with the received member ID, and obtains the received password. The identity verification is performed by collation, and when both the passwords match, the replay permission including the extracted number of saving balls is returned to the card unit 3 of the transmission source.
[0125]
Based on the reply, the control unit 328 of the card unit 3 temporarily stores the returned number of saving balls, and the number of replays corresponding to the number of saving balls, specifically, once in this embodiment. In order to carry out the return of 125 balls equivalent to 500 yen in the replay operation of 138, since 138 balls including 13 balls of usage fee are required, for example, if there are 940 balls, As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, an integer value obtained by dividing the 940 balls by 138, that is, 6 times is calculated as the number of replays, and the number of replays is output to the display operation unit 321. In addition, the membership card, which is the type of reception card, and the number of replays are displayed in a bar shape at the bottom of the display screen of the color liquid crystal panel 303.
[0126]
When the replay key switch 315 is operated at this stage, after determining whether or not the number of replays is “0”, if there is a number of replays, the pachinko ball is changed as in the case of the lending process. Make a refund.
[0127]
After the payout, the payout completion information including the number of payout balls (138 balls in this embodiment), the member ID, and the device ID corresponding to the number of replays that have been paid out is the member management computer 120. In the member management computer 120, the number of saving balls in the member information table is updated.
[0128]
Further, when these games are finished and the return button switch 15 is operated, the remaining number of times and the number of times of use, the amount of money received, and the frequency use of the card and the history data of the card are displayed. The update information is transmitted to the management computer 100 together with the ID and the device ID, and based on the update completion reply from the management computer 100, the remaining frequency stored in the frequency data storage area is updated and recorded on the card. The management computer 100 that has received the update information updates the registration data corresponding to the card ID of the received update information based on the update information.
[0129]
Next, it is determined whether the card to be returned is a member card. If the card is a member card, it corresponds to the card ID to be returned from the usage history registered in the card usage history storage area. The usage history is counted, the frequency usage information including the usage frequency and the payment frequency of the card, and the IN of the corresponding pachinko machine 2 at the start of the game of the member player stored in the player data storage area Game information including the number of / OUT, the number of special prizes during the game of the player, and the total number of IN / OUT of the corresponding pachinko machine 2 at the time of return stored in the table data storage area. The member ID and the device ID stored in the ID storage area are transmitted to the member management computer 120 and the membership card is returned after the registration information in the player data storage area is deleted. And said frequency data storage area, with each storage data use frequency storage region as well as payment data storage area is initialized (reset), and outputs a signal of the card is not inserted to the display operation unit 321.
[0130]
Based on various information including game information and the like transmitted together with the member ID and the device ID in this way, the member management computer 120 updates registration information such as the member information table and the member visit history DB, and also manages the unit management. In the table, the registered contents of “situation” corresponding to the received device ID are updated from “accepting” to “standby”, and the received member ID is deleted from the item of “accepting member card ID”. .
[0131]
In addition, if the card to be returned is a visitor card, it is determined whether the remaining frequency is “0”. If the remaining frequency remains, the return is performed, but if the remaining frequency does not remain, By not resetting the stored data in the frequency data storage area, the usage frequency storage area, and the deposit data storage area to perform card ejection, a visitor card with a remaining frequency of “0” becomes an IC card reader / writer 327. The player or the other player can make a game by depositing the remaining visitor card. When the visitor card with the remaining frequency “0” remains in the IC card reader / writer 327, a signal indicating that the card is not inserted is output to the display operation unit 321 so that the TV function is activated. Cannot be used.
[0132]
Next, the TV function that can be used in the card unit 3 while these cards are being inserted (except when the visitor card with the frequency “0” is being inserted) will be described. As described above, the IC card reader / writer 327 is accepting the TV functions. When the player card is a membership card or a visitor card with a remaining number, the player selects the menu selection key switch 317, so that the color liquid crystal panel 303 has a menu screen as shown in FIG. Is displayed.
[0133]
In this menu screen, when a membership card or a visitor card having a remaining number is inserted into the card insertion slot 319, a card acceptance signal is output from the control unit 328 to the display operation unit 321. The menu selection key switch 317 is automatically displayed without operation.
[0134]
On this menu screen, as shown in FIG. 23, the “table data” selection item to be selected when displaying the table data displayed before the card insertion and the “TV” for displaying the television image are displayed. "", And the player can select a desired item.
[0135]
First, when the selection item of “table data” is selected, the MPU 343 detects the selection and outputs an output request for the table data stored in the table data storage area to the control unit 328. Then, the table data is obtained and displayed as shown in FIG.
[0136]
Next, the event lottery process performed in the gaming system of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 22. First, the start time of the event to be performed next from the registered contents of the event lottery table in FIG. And the game state and the number of games of the lottery target condition are specified, and when the current time based on the time information from the RTC 124 becomes the start time of the event, the event is started and the lottery target table of FIG. Each gaming state and lottery target flag of the lottery target item is reset to “0”, and based on the specification of the gaming state of the lottery target condition, an addition update of a new value to the item corresponding to the specified gaming state is performed. Start.
[0137]
Therefore, the addition process of the lottery object table will be briefly described. When the game state item in the game information table shown in FIG. 9 is changed to a new game state during the event period, the changed new game It is determined whether the state corresponds to the gaming state of the lottery target condition of the lottery target table, and if so, the machine number corresponding to the changed gaming state is identified, and the state matches the identified machine number “1” is added to the corresponding game state in the lottery object table and updated.
[0138]
Then, when the end time of the event is reached, the addition update processing to the gaming state of these lottery target tables is terminated, and whether the numerical value added to the gaming state corresponds to the lottery target condition, for example, as shown in FIG. If the lottery target condition on the event lottery setting screen is taken as an example, it is determined whether the probability variation big hit count is 2 or more. If the lottery target condition is met, “1” is set to the lottery target flag.
[0139]
Subsequently, all the device IDs corresponding to the item of the lottery object flag set to “1” are extracted, and at that time, the membership card is being inserted into the card unit 3 to which the extracted device ID is assigned (accepting). It is determined from the “status” item of the unit management table shown in FIG. Then, only the device ID whose item is “accepting” is extracted together with the member card ID associated with the device ID, temporarily stored, and the number of the device IDs is counted to obtain a member game to be selected by lottery. The number of people.
[0140]
Next, by sequentially assigning and registering the lottery numbers in ascending order of the device IDs to the card units 3 to which the device IDs that have been extracted and temporarily stored are assigned, the extracted card units 3 are set as the lottery targets. At the same time, the member ID of the member card being accepted is specified as the device ID set as the lottery object, and 1 is added to the number of event participations corresponding to the specified member ID in the member information table (FIG. 7A). To do.
[0141]
At the stage where these lottery settings have been completed, the member management computer 120 notifies each player of the device ID set as the lottery object when the lottery starts and informs the player that he has become the lottery target. The privilege information including the content of the privilege given in the lottery and the presence / absence of the tilt production are transmitted to notify the start of the lottery.
[0142]
Based on the reception of the lottery start notification, the control unit 328 of the card unit 3 instructs the MPU 343 to display the lottery image display instruction together with the notification information transmitted from the member management computer 120, the privilege contents, and the presence / absence of the tilt effect. Thus, the MPU 343 reads various image data of the lottery effect from the ROM 341, generates a lottery image, and starts displaying the generated lottery image on the color liquid crystal panel 303.
[0143]
At this stage, as shown in FIG. 26A, the color liquid crystal panel 303 displays the notification information at the top of the screen, so that the member player is notified that he / she has become a lottery target. As with the jackpot lottery on the variation display of the pachinko machine 2, the member player is informed that the lottery has started by starting the scroll display so that the three numbers displayed in parallel rotate individually. In addition, the bonus content is displayed at the bottom of the screen at the start of the lottery so that the bonus given by the lottery is notified to the member player.
[0144]
On the other hand, after notifying the start of the lottery, the member management computer 120 sets the number counted in the random number generation counter, and performs lottery for the winning number registered in the event lottery table from within the counter. The winning number is selected, and in the stored contents set as the lottery object in the temporary storage, the card unit 3 of the device ID corresponding to the corresponding selection number is specified, and the card is included in the lottery result of the event lottery table. The unit number associated with the unit 3, the member ID of the member card inserted into the card unit 3, and the member card ID are registered. Then, 1 is added to the number of privilege grants corresponding to the member ID of the member to whom the privilege is granted by the winning in the member information table (FIG. 7A), and the value of the number of privilege grants after the addition is added to the member. Dividing by the value of the number of event participations, calculate a new privilege grant rate and update the privilege grant rate, and these updated privilege grant rates are groups A to 4 which are predetermined groups D is determined and classified, and the type of the corresponding group is updated and registered in the group.
[0145]
In this embodiment, if the privilege grant rate is 75% or more, Group A, the privilege grant rate is 50% or more and less than 75%, Group B, and the privilege grant rate is 25% or more and less than 50%, Group C, the privilege. If the grant rate is less than 25%, it is classified into the group D. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the classification method, the number to be classified, and the like may be appropriately selected.
[0146]
Thus, in this embodiment, as a lottery method, a lottery number is sequentially assigned to the card unit 3 of each device ID set as the lottery object, and the number counted in the above is set in a random number generation counter. Then, the lottery is carried out by winning the number generated from the counted number, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the lottery method may be appropriately selected, for example, The winning random number within the count is selected in advance, and the random number within the count is assigned to each card unit 3 of each device ID set as the lottery object. You may make it win the card unit 3 of the apparatus ID to which the random value which corresponds to a random value is assigned.
[0147]
Then, the winner is notified to the card unit 3 of the device ID corresponding to these winning numbers, and the non-win is notified to the card unit 3 of the other device ID.
[0148]
The control unit 328 of the card unit 3 that has received the notification of the winning / non-winning lottery results outputs the winning / non-winning lottery results to the MPU 343, so that the MPU 343 plays a play at the start of the lottery. When “Yes” is output, the reach image shown in FIG. 26B is displayed to display the tilt effect.
[0149]
At this time, when the lottery result notification content is a win, as shown in FIG. 26C, the center number is scrolled and displayed in an enlarged state, thereby increasing the degree of expectation for winning. In addition, as shown in FIG. 26 (d) and FIG. 25, specific winning symbols “777” and “winning” are displayed to notify the member player that they have won.
[0150]
On the other hand, if the lottery result notification content is non-winning, as shown in FIG. 26 (e), the “losing symbol” with the center number “6” is displayed, and the member player is not won. Notify that.
[0151]
Further, the control unit 328 receives the lighting color of the operation lamp 301 after a predetermined time when the winning symbol or the lost symbol is displayed after outputting the lottery result from the member management computer 120 to the MPU 343. By changing the lighting state corresponding to the lottery result, the pachinko machine of the member won by the clerk can be easily grasped.
[0152]
As described above, according to the gaming system of this embodiment, a privilege grant rate that is a ratio of the number of event participations and the number of privilege grants counted in the member information table that is the event participation count totaling means and the privilege grant count totaling means. However, a player with a low privilege grant rate that satisfies a predetermined privilege grant rate defined as an extraction condition, for example, a range of 0 to 50% is extracted, and for each member player with a low privilege grant rate that is extracted. An e-mail which is a guide letter is created by the CPU 122 of the member management computer 120 functioning as the guide letter creating means, and the created e-mail is transmitted to each member player. For this reason, member players with low privilege grant rates are differentiated from players with high privilege grant rates by implementing allowances for each member player with a low privilege grant rate. Can, as a result, be able to prevent the churn of these privilege granting rate is low member player.
[0153]
In addition, according to the gaming system of the present embodiment, a privilege grant rate that is a ratio between the event participation count and the privilege grant count that are tabulated in the member information table that is the event participation count totaling means and the privilege grant count totaling means. Based on the above, the CPU 122 of the member management computer 120 functions as the classification means, so that each member player is classified into four groups A to D which are a plurality of groups. An e-mail as a guide letter based on the mail type D corresponding to the guide information is created by the CPU 122 functioning as the guide letter creating means, and the created e-mail is sent to each member player. Therefore, member players with a low bonus grant rate will receive special benefits (hollow) for each member player.
