  Then, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), when the member player selects and designates a game hall to be displayed as a game history-specific game history on the game hall selection acceptance screen, the device ID of the card unit 3 is selected. The game unit history data transmission request is transmitted from the card unit 3 to the member management computer 120 including the selected game center name and the request for transmission of the game site history data.

  Based on the reception of the history data transmission request for each game hall, the member management computer 120 associates the item of the received member ID with the device ID included in the received history data transmission request for the game hall in the unit management table. By identifying the member ID and the unit number stored in the item of the unit number, and replacing the received device ID with the identified member ID and unit number, the identified member ID, unit number, and playground name, A history data request for each game hall including a request for transmission of history data for each game hall is transmitted to the management server 140.

  Based on the reception of the history data request for each game hall, the management server 140 performs the above-described model specifying process, and the game hall ID and the game hall specified from the member ID included in the received history data request for each game hall. From the model name stored in the table information table (see FIG. 8 (a)) in association with the machine number included in the separate history data request, the model of the pachinko machine 2 with the machine number, that is, After the member player specifies the model of the pachinko machine 2 in play, the process proceeds to A shown in FIG.

  In this way, after the member player specifies the model of the pachinko machine 2 that is playing, the management server 140 determines all of the other game hall member identification information specifying process based on the reception of the game hall information request. Are stored in the game history information table for each game hall in association with the member ID included in the received history data request for each game hall and the game hall ID specified from the member ID. The above-described game history extraction process for extracting all game history information is performed.

  Based on the game history information including the same game hall ID and the same model name in the game history information extracted by the game history extraction process, the game results for each model for each game hall, specifically Calculates a win rate for each model for each game site by calculating a win rate, which is a ratio of the number of game history information including “win” to the number of game history information as the number of games (game) Grade calculation processing).

  A game in which a member player corresponding to the game hall ID identified from the member ID included in the received history data request for each game hall is playing a game after calculating the winning percentage for each model for each game hall as the game result. Among the winning percentages (game results) of the models that the member player is playing identified in the model identification process of the venue and the winning percentages (game results) calculated above, the game hall in which the member players are playing In addition to the winning percentage (game result) of the same model as the model that the member player is playing at other game venues (all if there are multiple) where the member player is a member, It is determined whether or not the winning rate (game result) at the game hall in which the member player is playing is good.

  Then, the management server 140 further extracts all the game history information of the model of the pachinko machine 2 being played by the member player identified by the model identification process from the game history information extracted by the game history extraction process. In addition, by identifying and extracting all the game history information including the game hall name included in the received game hall history data request from the extracted game history information, at the game hall designated by the member player After all of the game history information of the model of the pachinko machine 2 being played by the member player is extracted, the total value of the game time that is the game frequency included in the extracted game history information is the game frequency threshold setting screen (FIG. It is determined whether or not the gaming time (2 hours in this embodiment), which is the threshold condition set in 17), is satisfied.

  In this determination, when the total value of the game time satisfies the game time of 2 hours as the threshold condition, the process proceeds to B shown in FIG. 13, while the total value of the game time is the game time as the threshold condition. If a certain two hours are not satisfied, the management server 140 causes the member player stored in the table information table for each game hall to be associated with the table number included in the received history data request for each game site, All similar models having the same manufacturer name and type (specifically, CR machine, type 1, type 2, etc.) of the machine 2 are specified. Then, among the game history information extracted in the game history extraction process, the game history information including the game hall name included in the received game hall history data request and the model name of the specified similar model is included. The same type of model that is extracted for each model and calculates the total game time for each model, and the calculated total game time satisfies the game time that is the threshold condition (2 hours in this embodiment). Is identified as the substitute model, and all the game history information including the game hall name included in the received history data by game hall in the identified substitute model is identified and extracted, and the process proceeds to B shown in FIG.

  As a specific flow for specifying the substitute model in this embodiment, for example, the model name of the pachinko machine 2 in which the member player is playing is the model name a, and the member player has designated the playground d. In this case, if the total game time of the member player in the model name a at the game hall d is less than the threshold value of 2 hours, the manufacturer and type of the model name a is “Company A”. ”And“ CR ”, the same type of model such as model name“ b ”in which“ Company A ”and“ CR ”are stored are specified, and the game hall of each model such as the specified model name“ b ” The total game time of the member player at d is calculated, and the similar model in which the calculated total game time satisfies the threshold condition of 2 hours, for example, model b, is specified as the substitute model. At this time, if a plurality of similar models satisfy the threshold condition of 2 hours, the similar model closest to the jackpot probability of the model name a which is the model name of the pachinko machine 2 being played by the member player. For example, the model b is specified as the substitute model, and all the game history information in the game hall d of the model b specified as the substitute model is specified and extracted.

  Then, proceeding to B shown in FIG. 13, the game history information of the model of the pachinko machine 2 in which the member player is playing in the game hall designated by the member player extracted above, or the game history of the substitute model Based on the information, the history data for each game site is generated for the model or substitute model being played by the member player at the designated game site.

  Specifically, the history data generated by game hall includes, based on the extracted game history information, the total number of games, the total number of starts, the total number of jackpots, the total probability variation, the average jackpot probability, the average probability variation probability, the balance The total is calculated and used as history data for each game hall.

  Then, the management server 140 determines whether or not the above-described determination result of the winning percentage that is the gaming result, that is, the winning percentage of the model of the pachinko machine 2 that is playing in the game hall where the member player is playing is in other game halls. When the winning rate is worse than that of the same model, a favorable model display instruction for instructing display of the selection input unit of “good model” on the history data display screen for each game hall displayed on the display unit 312 of the card unit 3; The member ID included in the history data request by game hall received above and the history information by game hall including the generated history data by game hall are sent to the member management computer 120 that has transmitted the history data request by game hall. If the determination result of the winning percentage, which is the game result described above, is good, the history information for each game hall that does not include the good model display instruction is required. Be sent to the member management computer 120 which has transmitted the. In addition, when the history data for each game hall is transmitted based on the game history information of the substitute model when the history information for each game hall is transmitted, the substitute information including the substitute model name is included. The information is added to the history information for each game hall and transmitted.

  In the member management computer 120 based on the transmission of the history information by game hall, the card unit 3 that is receiving the member card of the member ID included in the received history information by game hall is the member ID in the unit management table. Is identified by extracting the device ID of the card unit 3 stored in the item of the receiving member ID, and is included in the received history information by game hall for the identified card unit 3 (control unit 328). The history data for each game hall is transmitted. If the substitute information is added to the received history information by game hall, the added substitute information is also transmitted together with the history data by game hall.

  The history data for each game hall transmitted from the management server 140 via the member management computer 120 in this way is sent to the management server 140 by the control unit 328 as shown in FIG. 15 (c) or FIG. 15 (d).
