  The registration (storage) of the ranking information in these model-specific ranking tables is similar to the registration (storage) status in the ranking table, in the game hall where the member management computer 120 is not installed, From the menu on the ranking management screen (page) displayed when the administrator accesses the site server 14 from the notebook personal computer 150, which is an administrator terminal, and selects a ranking management menu, which will be described later, the "Best Pachinko Machine Type 10" Or “Pachislot Machine Type Worst 10”, “Pachislot Machine Type Best 10”, “Pachislot Machine Type Worst 10”, and then selecting a model for inputting ranking information and game-related information and selecting the selected model and type. Best ranking or worst ranking data (unit number, machine corresponding to game related information) (Game-related information such as name, number of jackpots, number of difference balls, etc.) is entered, and the entered data is stored in the model-specific ranking table, and a member management computer 120 is installed. In the game hall, the game information stored in the game related information table of the management server 140 is updated when the stored information of the game related information table stored in the member management computer 120 is transmitted every predetermined time. Based on the related information, model-specific ranking information is automatically generated by the management server 140 and stored in the ranking table.

  Next, a flow of storing and updating storage data of each table stored in the management server 140 will be described below.

  First, the flow of registration (storage) in the site member information table shown in FIG. 5A will be described with reference to FIG. 8. Registration (storage) in these member information tables is a member for site members. The information terminal of the access user is selected when the access user selects and inputs “member registration” on the TOP page (see FIG. 11) of the reservation site to be described later by the site server 14. For example, a personal information input page (see FIG. 12) is distributed and displayed on the mobile phone 16, and the personal information name, date of birth, sex, and e-mail address are displayed on the personal information input page (see FIG. 12). Site member registration acceptance is received to accept the member ID of the game hall when the member who is the access user is a game hall member That.

  If there is an input and name of the amusement hall selected by the new site member registrant accepted by the site server 14 on these personal information input pages, the amusement hall member ID and name, date of birth, gender, e-mail Based on the fact that the input information (personal information) consisting of the address is transmitted to the management server 140, the management server 140 newly generates a site member ID and password and sends them back to the site server 14, and the generated site The member ID, password, and input information (personal information) received from the site server 14 are associated with each other and stored in the site member information table, and each of the game hall ID and the game hall member ID corresponding to the stored site member ID is stored. The item stores the game hall ID received from the site server 14 and the game hall member ID in association with each other.

  The site member ID and password returned to the site server 14 are transmitted by e-mail to the e-mail address received together with the URL of the login page.

  Next, when the game hall ID and the game hall member ID are newly registered (stored) in the site member information table, the members installed in the game hall specified by the newly registered game hall ID. A request for transmitting member attribute information of the game hall member corresponding to the newly registered game hall member ID is transmitted to the management computer 120.

  Upon receiving this member attribute information transmission request, the member management computer 120 determines whether or not there is a memory in the member information table shown in FIG. 3 that matches the game hall member ID included in the received member attribute information transmission request. If it exists, the store visit point (Pt.) And store visit count stored in correspondence with the amusement hall member ID received in the member information table, and the postal code, address, phone number, mobile phone number , Member attribute information including transportation means, hobbies, anniversary, etc., the game hall member ID, and the game hall ID are returned to the management server 140.

  Based on this reply, the management server 140 specifies a site member ID in which the game hall ID and the game hall member ID that are the same as the game hall ID and the game hall member ID received in the site member information table are stored. By storing each member attribute information including the received store visit point (Pt.), The number of visits, etc. in each item of the member attribute information corresponding to the site member ID, the site member information table at the time of site member registration Each member attribute information including an unregistered store visit point (Pt.)
