[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a game field data management apparatus that counts the total data of each gaming machine based on signals output from a plurality of gaming machines.
[0002]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Conventionally, when adjusting the nail of the game machine, the data of the game machine is totaled for several days, information is obtained from the management computer that outputs the total data, and the nail adjustment is performed while referring to the information. ing. Various management computers such as Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 6-14986 have also been proposed for outputting aggregated data based on extraction conditions.
[0003]
However, since this type of management computer has only specified the period of time for extracting data, when data is output during the specified period, the data for the day when the operation does not exceed a certain value is also included. It was an extraction target. For this reason, the extracted aggregated data has a problem that if the operation does not exceed a certain value, the condition for comparison is not satisfied and the reliability of the aggregated data is low.
[0004]
On the other hand, after performing nail adjustment, it is often seen that for a table that is frequently operated, a slight error occurs between the nail interval at the time of opening and the nail interval at the time of closing. For this reason, even if there is too much operation, it is difficult to recognize the total data in the intended nail adjustment. That is, if only the period is specified, there is a possibility that data with low reliability as the aggregate data as described above may be extracted as average value data within the specified period.
[0005]
Similarly, in the pachislot machine, it is difficult to adjust the mode with the daily slack rate alone, and it is necessary to make adjustments based on the long-term slack rate and the base gross margin. It is difficult to execute only the number of days as an extraction condition.
[0006]
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a data management device for a game hall that can increase the reliability of the total data when the data is totaled based on the extraction conditions. It is in.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention is based on signals output from each of a plurality of game machines , and operating data and other game machine data which are out indicating the game time by the player of each game machine or the number of game media invested in the game machine And a data summing means for summing up the data and an extracting means for extracting the summed data satisfying the extraction condition from the summed data managed by the data summarizing means based on the extraction condition when the extraction condition is given. In the field data management device , the data totaling means sequentially accumulates operation data and game table data for each game machine in order of passage of time, and sets the accumulated value as operation data and game machine data for each predetermined time point. operation are possible, wherein the extracting means, wherein the duration of the specified operating data as the extraction condition is input, said at that time based on these inputted extraction conditions Identify the operation data satisfying the extraction condition of the operation data for each constant time, and extracts the amusement machine data of the same time and that this specified operating data (claim 1).
[0008]
According to such a configuration, the data totaling means totals the data of each gaming machine based on signals output from a plurality of gaming machines, and if it is desired to extract desired aggregated data, the data is extracted by the extracting means. Give conditions. Then, the extraction unit extracts the total data satisfying the extraction condition from the total data managed by the data totaling unit, so that the desired total data can be obtained.
[0009]
Here, in order to compare the total data of each gaming machine, since it is desirable that the operating hours of each gaming machine are aligned, operating data indicating the operating time is given. As a result, the extraction means extracts the total data including the operation data as the extraction condition, so that the operation time of the total data can be made uniform, and the reliability of the total data can be improved.
[0013]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 schematically shows the overall configuration. In FIG. 1, game machines 1 such as pachinko machines and pachislot machines are installed on the island, and terminal machines 2 are installed corresponding to the game machines 1. 1 is output to the management computer 3 (corresponding to data totaling means and extraction means) 3. The management computer 3 manages the base data of each gaming base 1 based on the signal output from the terminal 2. In other words, out signals, safe signals, winning signals, start signals, special award signals, probability changing signals, etc. are output from the pachinko machine, so that the operating state of each pachinko machine can be managed based on those signals. . In addition, the pachislot machine outputs an out signal, a safe signal, a game signal, a flag signal (a signal indicating that a big bonus has been established), a BB (big bonus) signal, a CT (challenge time) signal, etc. Based on those signals, the operating state of each pachislot machine can be managed.
[0014]
Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the table data totaling operation of the management computer 3. In FIG. 2, the management computer 3 monitors the input of the extraction period (S1).
[0015]
When the administrator inputs an extraction period to the management computer 3 in addition to a desired detection condition (S1: YES), it is determined whether the search condition includes operation data (S2). As will be described later, the operation data is data indicating the operation of the gaming machine 1 and is an integration out or an integration operation time. At this time, if the operation data is not included in the search condition (S2: NO), the table data in the extraction period is totaled and output (S10). Thereby, as shown in FIG. 3, the total data which is the sum total of each vehicle data in the extraction period is displayed. As this total data, out, difference (ball), appearance rate, special prize 1, base, start, T1Y, maximum MY, stand sales, machine discount are displayed, and the average of each total data is displayed Yes. In this case, the payout rate is the cumulative number of safe balls / the cumulative number of out balls, the base is the payout rate in the normal state that is not in the special prize state or the probability fluctuation state, and the start is the number of out balls in the unit of the electric equipment The average number of starts per game, T1Y is the number of balls in the special prize state, the maximum MY is the maximum number of balls held by the player, and the machine discount is (sales number-number of balls) / number of balls sold is there.
Therefore, the administrator can determine the operating state of each gaming machine 1 based on the displayed total data and perform nail adjustment.
[0016]
By the way, as shown in FIG. 3, depending on the game machine 1, the operation time in a predetermined extraction period may be short, and the reliability of the machine data of such game machine 1 is low, and the nail adjustment may not be performed correctly. There is.
Therefore, in this embodiment, the search condition can be input as the extraction condition. This search condition is a search type and a search range. The search type is an integrated out or integrated operating time, and the operating time is an out range to be extracted in the case of out, and an extracted time range in the case of an operating time. Further, the extraction category is an extraction unit of aggregate data when searching, and for example, 60 minutes is an extraction unit.
[0017]
When the operation data is included in the search condition as shown in FIG. 2 (S2: YES), the management computer 3 determines whether the operation data is out (S3). At this time, when “out” is set as the operation data (S3: YES), it is confirmed that the input of the out range has been input (S4: YES), and the time designation is set in units of N minutes. After confirming (S5: YES), the data at the time when the cumulative out reaches the set range is extracted and output as the cumulative data every N minutes in the period (S6).
[0018]
On the other hand, when the operating time is set as operating data (S3: NO), it is confirmed that the operating time out range has been input (S7: YES), and the time designation is set in units of N minutes. (S8: YES), the data at the time when the cumulative out reaches the set range is extracted and output from the cumulative data every N minutes in the period (S9).
[0019]
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, when the search condition is set to 3000 (out 30000 out) or more and the extraction category is set every 60 minutes, the out is 3000 (× 10) or more. Since the data at the time is displayed, it can be used as a reference for adjusting the nail by comparing the data.
[0020]
Specifically, the management computer 3 automatically performs a data reset when the power is turned on, or a data reset operation is performed by the administrator. Therefore, for example, at 9 o'clock at the start of business, all data on all game machines Has been reset.
When the game starts and the player starts playing, the data is updated in order. In this case, the management computer 3 actually stores, for example, integration data every 5 minutes in order until the end of business.
And when it becomes the time of a business end, since the extraction division is every 60 minutes as mentioned above, it converts into integrated data every 60 minutes.
[0021]
FIG. 6 shows an example of regular data (integration every 60 minutes) in the 556th series, for example. In FIG. 6, the management computer 3 determines the aggregated data at the time when OUT exceeds 3000 as extracted data, and sets it as aggregated data for the 556 series. In other words, since the OUT exceeds 3000 between 18:00 and 19:00, the aggregated data at that time is used as the 556th extracted data.
[0022]
By the way, in the gaming machine 1 with a low operation rate, even if the business of the day ends, the out may not reach the extraction condition. If such a date is set as the date of the search condition, FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, a message “cannot be displayed because out does not reach the reference” is displayed in correspondence with the gaming machine 1 whose out does not reach the search condition. Therefore, when such a display is made, the manager increases the number of days of the search condition, assuming that the operating state cannot be properly compared based on the total data of each gaming machine 1. That is, for example, one day is added as the search target date.
[0023]
Then, the management computer 3 searches again for the gaming machine 1 whose out has not reached the search condition, including the added date. In other words, regarding the 537 series in which “OUT” has not reached the search condition as shown in FIG. 7 on September 30 as the first search target date, the management computer 3 adds 9 to the scheduled data on October 1 shown in FIG. The last data of the month 30 is added and used as search target data.
[0024]
FIG. 9 shows data obtained by adding the last data of September 30 to the data of October 1 in the 537 series. In FIG. 9, since the out exceeds 3000 from 19:00 to 20:00, the regular data at this time is the final total data of the 537s.
[0025]
Therefore, by setting September 30 and October 1 as the date of extraction conditions, the fixed time data of integration at the time when the out exceeded 3000 (30000 out balls) as the fixed time data of integration over two days Since the data can be extracted, the nail adjustment can be appropriately executed by extracting and comparing the fixed-time data of each gaming machine 1. In this case, even if two days are set as the search condition date, if there is a game machine whose out has not reached 3000, the search condition date is further increased.
[0026]
On the other hand, in the case where the search is performed with the integrated operation time instead of the integration out as described above, time is set as a search condition and a search time range is set.
FIG. 10 shows an example of the regular data of integration for the 556 series when the operating time is set as the search condition and 60 minutes is set as the extraction category. In FIG. 10, the management computer 3 manages the scheduled data with the operating time. The operation time is determined to be the start of operation when an out ball is generated, and is determined to be the end of operation when no out occurs within one minute, for example. In this case, since the operation time and out are basically in a proportional relationship, it can be regarded as equivalent to out of integration.
[0027]
Further, when “out” (quantitative data) is set as the extraction category instead of time (periodic data), quantitative data at the time when “out” exceeds 3000 is extracted.
FIG. 11 shows an example of data corresponding to “out” when “out” 300 (3000 out balls) is set as the extraction category. In FIG. 11, the management computer 3 extracts the data at the time when “out” becomes 3000 as the quantitative data, as the total data.
[0028]
According to such an embodiment, as the condition for extracting the total data of the gaming machine 1, the accumulated out time indicating the operating time or the integrated operating time is included, so that each game with the same operating time is included. The total data of the table 1 can be compared, and the nail adjustment can be appropriately performed as compared with the case where the nail adjustment is executed by comparing the total data of the day.
[0029]
In addition, when the search condition date is set to multiple days, the data at the time when the integration out over the multiple days or the operation time of integration reaches the search condition is extracted. Even the gaming machine 1 with less operation can be compared with other gaming machines 1, and nail adjustment can be performed appropriately.
[0030]
Furthermore, since the comparison is made in a predetermined time unit or out unit as the detection condition, when comparing the total data of the respective game machines 1, it is possible to align them with a fixed time or a fixed amount as a reference.
In addition, since the extraction category can be either regular or quantitative, the aggregated data can be judged from various aspects.
[0031]
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the present invention may be applied to a pachislot machine so as to obtain, for example, a payout rate in 7000 games or more, a big bonus probability, a machine quotient, and the like.
[0032]
【The invention's effect】
As is clear from the above description, the present invention summarizes the specified multiple days of aggregated data from the first day of the plurality of days, and extracts the aggregated aggregated data and outputs it as an extraction condition when operating time Therefore, it is possible to include the operational data indicating that the reliability of the data can be improved when the aggregated data is aggregated.
