That is, the user terminal 42 is a terminal that can function as the second prize selection operation accepting unit 42A.

  Unlike the premium exchange terminal 41, the user terminal 42 cannot browse the premium confirmation screen 626 (see FIG. 12). Therefore, even if the user terminal 42 can select a prize to be exchanged for an out-of-store storage ball, the selected prize cannot be confirmed. When a prize is selected using the user terminal 42, it is then necessary to go to the amusement store and confirm the prize using the second prize confirming operation accepting means 32B of the exchange terminal 32.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the prize exchange management device 6 is installed outside the amusement store. This prize exchange management device 6 is an integrated configuration of the function of a storage server terminal 61 that manages out-of-store storage balls for each player and the function of a prize server terminal 62 that manages exchange of prizes based on out-of-store storage balls. It is. Instead of this example, the storage server server 61 and the prize server terminal 62 may be configured as separate bodies, and both may be installed at different locations via the Internet line 12. Furthermore, instead of this example, it may be installed in a game store that is a head office store of a game store group, for example.

  The storage server terminal 61 is a terminal that manages out-of-store storage points indicating the quantity of out-of-store storage balls, exchange points used for gift exchange, and the like. The storage server server 61 manages the above points for each player (FIG. 8), each game store (FIG. 9), and each prize exchange history (FIG. 10). The storage server server terminal 61 receives the number of out-of-store deposits associated with the member ID that is the player specifying information from the management device 5 of each game store. The storage server server terminal 61 refers to the out-of-store storage points associated with the same member ID, adds the number of out-store deposits, and stores new out-of-store storage points. In this example, one point is set for each pachinko ball that is a game medium.

  As for out-of-store storage points, it is also possible to manage out-of-store storage points separately according to the type of game media such as pachinko balls used for pachinko machine games and medals used for slot machine games. Well, it is also good to manage out-of-store storage points together. When managing out-of-store storage points collectively, for example, 4 points per piece for pachinko balls and 20 points per piece for medals, for example, lending per unit of each game medium It is better to set out-of-store storage points according to the price.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the storage server server terminal 61 selects or confirms the player's name, the accumulated points that are the cumulative number of out-of-store deposits, the exchange points that have been used for exchanging prizes, and the out-of-store storage points that can be exchanged for prizes. Premium selection information indicating the type and number of premiums is managed for each member ID.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the storage server server terminal 61 manages the number of received storages, exchange points, and out-of-store storage points for each business day for each amusement store. The number of received storage balls is the cumulative number of out-of-store deposits received on each business day. The exchange points indicate the accumulation of exchange points exchanged for prizes by players who are members of the game store. The out-of-store storage point stored by the storage unit 611 is obtained by subtracting the accumulation of exchange points of the amusement store from the accumulated number of out-of-store deposits received. If the player's out-of-store storage points are generated at a plurality of amusement stores, the exchange point is withdrawn with the amusement store in which the in-store prize exchange terminal 41 that has confirmed the exchange of the prizes is set as the first priority. The order of priority after the second priority was determined in the order of the amusement store with the most out-of-store storage points.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the storage server 61 has a date for exchanging prizes, a member ID of a player who exchanged prizes, a type of exchanged prize, an exchange point required for exchange, and an off-store storage ball for the player. Manages free gift exchange history records including points. Further, each premium exchange history record includes a delivery completion flag for managing whether or not the premium has been shipped.

  In the prize exchange system 1 of this example, the dispatch status of prizes can be managed using this dispatched flag. Here, it is also possible to extract only the prize exchange history record in which the dispatched flag is zero, that is, the prize has not been dispatched, and create the unsent list. Furthermore, in this example, the prize exchange history record is managed for each amusement store, but instead, it can be managed collectively at all amusement stores that form a group.

  As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 11 and FIG. 12, the prize server terminal 62 has a prize selection means 621 for selecting a prize to be exchanged for an out-of-store storage ball, and a prize confirmation means for confirming a prize to be exchanged for an out-of-store storage ball. 622 and storage ball withdrawal means 623 for subtracting out-store storage balls in exchange for prizes.

  The prize selection means 621 is a means for presenting a prize selection screen 625 on the display screen of the prize exchange terminal 41 or the user terminal 42. The player can select a favorite prize within the range of the out-of-store storage point stored in the storage server terminal 61 by an operation on the selection screen 625. In addition to tangible prizes as in this example, intangible prizes such as music data and an accelerator right to an excellent homepage may be set as targets for exchanging out-of-store storage points.

  Here, the prize selection screen 625 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in the figure, the prize selection screen 625 includes an individual display field 625D for displaying a member ID for identifying a player, a name, an out-of-store storage point, and a final selection date that is a recent prize selection date, and a progress of the prize selection. A progress display field 625S for displaying a situation, a selection button 625E for selecting a prize, a return button 625C for ending a prize selection operation, and a status display field 625T for indicating whether or not a prize can be selected are combined. It is a thing. The message 625M is a message displayed only on the display screen of the user terminal 42. This message 625M indicates that in order to finally determine a prize to be exchanged, a prize confirmation operation by the exchange terminal 32 installed in the amusement store is necessary.

  On the prize selection screen 625, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 11, a favorite prize can be selected within the range of the out-of-store storage point read from the storage server terminal 61. It should be noted that a prize requiring an exchange point exceeding the out-of-store storage point is set so that it cannot be selected on the prize selection screen 625. Thereby, in the prize exchange system 1 of this example, the prize exchange exceeding the outside store storage point is prevented in advance.

  The prize confirmation means 622 is a means for presenting a prize confirmation screen 626 on the display screen of the prize exchange terminal 41 or the exchange terminal 32 as shown in FIG. The player can confirm the exchange for the selected prize by using the prize selection screen 625 by an operation on the prize confirmation screen 626.

Here, the prize selection information is information including the type and number of selected prizes and exchange points necessary for the selected prize. When the gift selection information is received, the received exchange point is compared with the out-of-store storage point associated with the received member ID as in step S504. If the exchange point is within the storage point, the premium selection information and the latest selection date representing the date on which the premium is selected are updated as in steps S505 and S506. Then, as in step S507, a free gift exchange OK message is transmitted to the free gift exchange terminal 41 or the user terminal 42. On the other hand, if the received exchange point exceeds the out-of-store storage point (step S504), a gift exchange NG message is transmitted to the gift exchange terminal 41 or the user terminal 42 as in step S515.

  FIG. 18 shows the flow of the prize confirmation process by the prize confirmation means 622 of the prize exchange management device 6. Here, first, as in step S601, it is determined whether or not a member ID has been received from the gift exchange terminal 41 or the exchange terminal 32 side. When the member ID is received, the member information and the prize selection information associated with the member ID are returned to the exchange terminal 32 or the in-store prize exchange terminal 41 as in step S602. Here, the member information is information including the name of a player who is a member, out-of-store storage points, and the like. The premium selection information is information updated in step S505 in FIG. If the member ID is not received in step S601, the process bypasses step S602 and proceeds to step S603.

  In step S603, it is determined whether or not the prize confirmation information is received from the exchange terminal 32 or the in-store prize exchange terminal 41 side. Here, the prize confirmation information is information including the type and number of confirmed prizes and exchange points necessary for the selected prize. When the prize confirmation information is received, the received exchange point is compared with the out-of-store storage point associated with the received member ID as in step S604. If the exchange point is within the store outside storage point, as in steps S605 and S606, the storage point withdrawal unit 623 is instructed to update the exchange point and the store outside storage point, and a new gift exchange history record as an update history is recorded. (See FIG. 10) is instructed to the storage server server terminal 61.

  Further, as in step S607, it is determined whether or not a privilege grant condition is established. If the privilege granting condition is satisfied, the effect exchange approval is transmitted together with the privilege granting approval as in step S608. On the other hand, if the privilege granting condition is not satisfied, only a gift exchange OK message is transmitted as in step S618. Then, as in step S609, the latest selection date data and the prize selection information are cleared. On the other hand, if the received exchange point exceeds the out-of-store storage point (step S604), a gift exchange NG message is transmitted to the gift exchange terminal 41 or the exchange terminal 32 as in step S614.

  As described above, in the prize exchange system 1 of this example, it is necessary to operate the prize exchange terminal 41 or the exchange terminal 32 installed in the amusement store in order to determine a prize to be exchanged in exchange for an outside store. Therefore, according to the prize exchange system 1, it is possible to motivate a player who wants a prize in exchange for an out-of-store storage ball to visit the amusement shop. That is, the premium exchange system 1 of this example is an excellent system that can enhance the effect of attracting customers.

As in this example, if the configuration is such that the prize cannot be determined by access from the user terminal 42, the level of security required at the time of access from the user terminal 42 can be suppressed, and the cost required for system construction Can be reduced.
Furthermore, in this example, the member ID recorded on the member card 310 is used as the player specifying information. As the player specifying information, it is also possible to use biological information such as a player's fingerprint, veins and eyeball glow.

In this example, the first prize confirmation operation accepting means 41B is provided in the prize exchange terminal 41, while the second prize confirmation operation acceptance means 32B is provided in the exchange terminal 32. Instead, it is also possible to employ a prize exchange terminal provided with the first prize confirmation operation accepting means and the second prize confirmation operation accepting means. Furthermore, in this case, it is possible to omit the second prize confirmation operation accepting means 32B from the exchange terminal 32.
Furthermore, in addition to the first and second prize confirmation operation accepting means 41B and 32B of the present example, a prize-determining operation accepting means dedicated to a manager such as a manager of a game shop is used in a game store or a game. It can also be provided outside the store.

(Example 2)
This example is an example in which the deposit pattern of an out-of-store storage ball is registered in advance as a storage ball mode based on the premium exchange system of the first embodiment. The contents will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the prize exchange system 1 of this example, the storage mode set by the player using the terminal for each unit (reference numeral 23 in FIGS. 1 and 2) is designated as a management device (reference numeral 5 in FIGS. 1 and 2). ) Setting storage means.

  According to the terminal of this example, a storage mode that defines calculation rules for the number of deposits in the store and the number of deposits outside the store can be set by the operation of each player. Specifically, in the stand-by-unit terminal of this example, it is possible to set the storage mode using a touch panel type liquid crystal display unit (reference numeral 230 in FIG. 2).

  In this example, five types of registration patterns are set in advance as the storage mode. In the stand-by-unit terminal, the player can select whether to set a storage ball mode or an original storage ball mode from among the registration patterns. In the original storage ball mode, the player can input arbitrary settings for each item of the number of prize exchange balls, the number of stored balls, and the number of stored balls outside the store, and the priority of each item can also be set freely.

Here, with reference to FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, the contents of the five types of storage balls set as the registration pattern will be described, and calculation examples of the number of deposits in the store and the number of deposits outside the store will be described.
FIG. 19 defines five types of storage forms No. 1 to No. 5 in each row, and defines each item of the number of gift exchange balls, the number of deposits in the store, and the number of deposits outside the store in each column. For example, the storage form No. 1 is a setting for exchanging all the special balls except the ones that are less than the minimum exchange unit for the special prizes and calculating the end balls as the number of deposits outside the store. Here, the number of in-store deposits is always calculated as zero. The storage mode No. 2 is a setting for exchanging the amount corresponding to the cash sales amount by cash lending to a special prize, calculating the amount corresponding to the re-playing ball as the number of deposits in the store, and calculating the remaining as the number of deposits outside the store It is.

  The storage mode No. 3 is a setting in which the number of prize exchange balls is arbitrarily determined by the player, the remaining 70% is calculated as the number of deposits in the store, and 30% is calculated as the number of deposits outside the store. The terminal 23 is configured to display a setting screen (not shown) for setting an item for the number of prize replacement balls when the storage mode No. 3 is selected. Using this setting screen, the player can input settings such as a special prize for 10,000 yen. In addition, in the storage ball aspect No. 3 of this example, the apportionment ratio between the number of deposits in the store and the number of deposits outside the store was set to 70% vs. 30%. Instead of this, the proration rate can be arbitrarily set by the player. Further, the number of prize exchange balls, which is an optional setting item in the storage mode No. 3, may be input by the player every time a game medium is acquired and stored.

  In the storage mode No.4, the amount corresponding to the cash sales amount plus 10,000 yen is exchanged for a special prize, the amount corresponding to the re-playing item is calculated as the number of deposits in the store, and the remaining number is stored in the store Is calculated as In the storage mode No.5, the amount corresponding to the re-playing balls is calculated as the number of in-store deposits, and the end balls that are less than the minimum exchange unit for special prizes are exchanged for special prizes. Is calculated as

  In each of the storage ball modes shown in FIG. 19, the priority order of each item is defined in advance, so that the number of gift exchange balls, the number of deposits in the store, and the number of deposits outside the store can be calculated without contradiction. In the storage mode No1, the number of prize exchange balls to the special prize is calculated in preference to the number of deposits outside the store. The priority order of the storage ball modes No. 2 and 4 is the order of the number of gift exchange balls, the number of deposits in the store, and the number of deposits outside the store. As for the priority order of the storage mode No. 3, the number of gift exchange balls has priority over the number of deposits in the store and the number of deposits outside the store. The priority order of the storage mode No. 5 is the order of the number of deposits in the store, the number of prize exchange balls, and the number of deposits outside the store.

  FIG. 20 shows an example of obtaining 10,000 balls of game media with a cash sales amount of 3000 yen and a replay use number of 1950 balls (including fee balls). The figure shows the number of prize exchange balls, the number of deposits in the store, the number of deposits outside the store and the like calculated by the pool sorting means 514 for each storage mode. Here, the minimum exchange unit for special prizes is 60 balls corresponding to 200 yen.

  As shown in FIG. 19 and FIG. 20, in the case of the storage mode No1, the remaining 40 balls obtained by dividing 10,000 balls by 60 balls are calculated as the number of deposits outside the store, and 9960 balls obtained by subtracting 40 balls from 10,000 balls are prize exchanges. Calculated as the number of balls. In the case of the storage ball mode No2, the number of prize exchange balls of 3000 yen for the cash sales amount of 3000 yen, the number of deposits in the store of 1950 balls corresponding to the number of replay balls, and the number of deposits outside the store of the remaining 7150 balls are calculated. In the case of storage mode No3 and when the player has set up a special prize for 20,000 yen, the number of 6000 prize exchange balls equivalent to 20,000 yen, 70% of the remaining 4000 balls The number of in-store deposits of 2800 balls, which is equivalent to 1,200, and the number of out-of-store deposits of 1,200 which is 30% is calculated. In the case of storage mode No4, the number of 3900 premium exchange balls corresponding to 13000 yen, the number of deposits in the store of 1950 balls corresponding to the number of replayed balls, and the remaining 10 deposits outside the store are calculated.

As described above, if the storage mode is set in advance for each player, it is possible to omit the operation of depositing out-of-store storage balls or in-store storage balls every time the game medium is exchanged for prizes. Therefore, according to the prize exchange system 1 of this example, the number of deposits of out-of-store storage balls is increased, and exchange for prizes is promoted. And if prize exchange becomes frequent, the effect of attracting customers will become more remarkable.
Other configurations and operational effects are the same as those in the first embodiment.
