When the detailed information provision form is changed to the unit display, the URL data of the CM which becomes unnecessary due to the change to the unit display is deleted.

  That is, on the CM information setting screen of the management server 14 of this embodiment, whether detailed text data as detailed information is transmitted by e-mail (detail mail) or displayed on the display unit 312 of the card unit 3. Can be set for each detailed information, and the provision form setting means in the present invention is formed by the CM information setting screen of the management server 14.

  Similarly, a notification video (CM) that is considered to have a greater appeal effect to a player (customer) who receives the notification while the pachinko machine 2 is in operation, such as “ In the case of a notification video (CM), such as “○ × Drink”, which is likely to be effective when notified when tired due to a long game, of the CMs listed in the CM information list display section Select CM-0001 which is the CM of the “Ox Drink” from the pop-up, and display the contents corresponding to the notification condition item to be changed from the data of each item provided below the CM information list display section. After selecting and changing “Active” from the menu of the window, by selecting and inputting “Setting” displayed at the bottom of the CM information setting screen, the notification condition corresponding to the selected CM-0001 of In the item, “in operation” is stored, and the CM information table is updated. Note that for notification videos (CMs) that are preferably announced only during non-operation, by operating in the same manner as changing to in-operation, “not in operation” is stored in the corresponding notification condition item, and CM The information table is updated. In addition, when nothing is stored in the notification condition, a display notification is performed regardless of whether the gaming machine is operating or not.

  That is, on the CM information setting screen in the management server 14 of this embodiment, each notification video is “operating” as the notification condition that becomes the operation notification information to notify the player (visitor) in the operating state of the corresponding pachinko machine 2. CM-ID notification video for which “medium”, “male member”, and “female member” are set, and non-operation notification information to notify the player (visitor) when the corresponding pachinko machine 2 is not in operation It is classified and set to a CM-ID notification video for which “not in operation” is set as the notification condition, and the CM setting screen in the management server 14 forms the classification setting means in the present invention.

  In this way, the storage data stored in the CM information table of the management server 14 and the notification video data (file) and detailed text data (file) stored in the storage device 145 are, for example, before the start of operation of the game hall. In the CM data transmission process performed by the management server 14 during the predetermined time, CM data is transmitted to the system controller 110 of each game arcade. The detailed text data (file) transmitted in the CM data transmission process is CM-ID detailed text data (file) in which “unit display” is stored in the detailed information provision form item of the CM information table. Only) is transmitted as CM data.

  Based on the reception of the CM data, the system controller 110 receives the notification video data (file) and detailed text data (stored in the CM data table and storage device 115 shown in FIG. CM data table update processing for updating (file) is performed.

  Specifically, in the CM data table update process, after all the registration data in the CM data table is once deleted, the CM-ID of each CM included in the received CM data is stored in the CM-ID item of the CM data table. Title name, notification condition, file name of notification video data, file name of detailed text data, URL data, provision form data (e-mail or unit display), priority, title name corresponding to the CM-ID , Notification conditions, notification video data, detailed text data, URL data, detailed information provision form, and priority order. Further, the notification video data (file) and the detailed text data (file) stored in the storage device 115 are all temporarily deleted, and the notification video data (file) and the detailed text data (file) included in the received CM data. Is newly stored, and the notification video data (file) and the detailed text data (file) are updated.

  By executing the CM data table update process in the system controller 110 in this way, the CM data table stores the same data as the registered data registered in the CM information table of the management server 14, and the management server 14, the same notification video data (file) as the notification video data (file) stored in the CM 14, and the CM-ID detailed text data (file) in which “unit display” is stored in the item of detailed information provision form The same detailed text data (file) is stored in the storage device 115 of the system controller 110.

  Also, in each game hall where the system controller 110 is installed, there is a case where there is information that the game hall wants to notify the store visitor, for example, information such as an event that the game hall performs independently. In this embodiment, the CM that the amusement center wants to announce is also provided by the advertisement management company and registered in the CM data table in the same manner as the CM transmitted from the management server 14 of the card management company. It is possible to notify visitors.

  Specifically, when the game hall wants to register a CM (game hall CM) such as an event, the registration is performed on the game hall CM registration screen shown in FIG. 31 displayed on the display device 117 of the system controller 110.

  In the game hall CM registration screen of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 31, the CM-ID assigned to the registered game hall CM (which is different from the CM-ID of the CM provided by the advertisement management company). CM-ID item in which CM-ID starting from CML) is displayed, a title name item for inputting the title name of the game hall CM, and a notification for displaying the notification video of the game hall CM Individual for each condition, notification video data item for selecting and specifying the notification video data file, detailed text data item for selecting and specifying the detailed text data file, and operating notification condition and non-operating notification condition And priority items that can be specified are provided.

  In the game hall CM registration screen of this embodiment, for example, in the case of registering a CM of today's event that provides information such as the machine number of today's event target machine as detailed information, the title name item is “Today In addition to entering “event” and in the operating state where the visitor is already playing on the pachinko machine 2, it is already a game The pachinko machine 2 that implements the operation is not very useful for the store visitor who has selected the game, so that the non-operation is designated in the notification condition item, and the notification video data is input from the scanner constituting the input device 116. The file name of the video data of the poster for today's event is specified, and for the detailed text data, the current day input from the keyboard constituting the input device 116 By specifying the file name of the text data of the number of the event target unit, specifying the priority in the priority item, and selectively inputting “Register” displayed at the bottom of the game room CM registration screen. The data of each item received on the game hall CM registration screen is stored and registered in the corresponding item of the CM data table.

  In addition, in the CM data table shown in FIG. 7C, tomorrow event is registered as a playground CM along with today's event. Since it is also useful to provide it, it is set as in-service as a notification condition.

  In addition, the game hall CMs registered in these CM data tables can be changed or deleted on the game hall CM change / delete screen (not shown).

  In this embodiment, these game centers CM are provided with detailed information only in the card unit 3, so that these registrations are carried out in the system controller 110 installed in the game hall. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as a detailed information in the above-mentioned tomorrow event or next event, the player returns home as in the case of providing the event number and model number. Since it may be important to be able to confirm with a margin afterwards, the registration of these amusement centers CM is carried out by the management server 14 of the card management company, and the details from the management server 14 An email may be sent and provided.

  Furthermore, in this case, an item for selecting and setting mail delivery or unit display is added to the CM registration screen shown in FIG. 31, and for the game hall CM set to mail delivery, the game hall CM The CM-ID and the detailed text data may be transmitted to the management server 14 before the game hall starts business, and the CM information table shown in FIG. 9A in the management server 14 may be updated.

  As described above, when the CM data table is updated with the CM data from the management server 14, and as described above, the game hall CM is registered on the game hall CM registration screen, and the game hall is displayed on the game hall CM change / delete screen. When the CM is changed / deleted, the data of the operating order and the non-operating order is updated based on the priority order of the CM data table.

  Specifically, for example, when the priority is registered as in the CM data table shown in FIG. 7C, the priority of the game hall CM that can be identified from the CM-ID is from the advertisement management company. The “Tomorrow event” CM, which is prioritized over the provided CM, is registered as the operating condition, and “1” is stored in the operating order item, and the notification condition is Since there are no other amusement hall CMs registered in operation, each provided CM from the advertisement management company is sequentially ordered according to the order of priority of each provided CM in the order of “2” and after. While the data is stored, the non-operating order is that the priority order of the game hall CM that can be identified from the CM-ID is given priority over the CM provided by the advertisement management company, and is not earned as a notification condition. The CM of “Today's event” is registered as “Non-operating rank 1”, “1” is stored in the non-operating rank item, and “Non-operating” is registered as a notification condition. Because there is no game hall CM, there is a condition that is similar to the notification condition in operation provided by the advertisement management company, that is, whether the condition is met only when it is in operation or when a membership card is accepted The order of operation in accordance with the order of priority of provided CMs that do not store male members, female members, etc., i.e., CM-IDs CM-0001 to CM-0003 are excluded. The order data after “2” is stored in the item of.

  In this way, the storage data stored in the CM data table of the system controller 110 and the notification video data (file) and detailed text data (file) stored in the storage device 115 are stored in the card before the game hall starts business. Receiving the connection confirmation request including the device ID of the card unit 3 for confirming the connection with the system controller 110 in the activation process performed in the control unit 328 of each card unit 3 when the unit 3 is activated. Accordingly, the setting information for updating various setting data in the system controller 110 is transmitted as CM data to each card unit 3 in the CM data transmission process performed together with the setting information transmission process.

  That is, the card unit 3 according to the present embodiment transmits a connection confirmation request to the system controller 110 in the activation process, and is set to be displayed on the display unit 312 in the detailed information provision process of FIG. Detailed text data (file) of the notification video (notification information) in which “unit display” is set as the detailed information provision form is acquired from the CM data from the system controller 110, and the activation The detailed information acquisition means of the present invention is formed by the processing.

  Based on the reception of the CM data transmitted in the CM data transmission process, the card unit 3 (control unit 328), as shown in FIG. 12, stores the CM data table in FIG. 4B stored in the RAM 328b. CM data table update processing for updating the stored data, the notification video data (file) and the detailed text data (file) stored in the RAM 328b, the non-operating CM display order data in FIG. 4 (d), and FIG. 4 (e). CM display order data update processing for generating and updating the visitor CM display order data is executed.

  Specifically, in the CM data table update process, after all the registration data in the CM data table is once deleted, the CM-ID of each CM included in the received CM data is stored in the CM-ID item of the CM data table. Title name, notification condition, file name of notification video data, file name of detailed text data, URL data, provision form data (e-mail or unit display), operation order data, non-operation order data, The title name corresponding to the ID, notification conditions, notification video data, detailed text data, URL data, detailed information provision form, operation order, and non-operation order are stored in each item. Also, the notification video data (file) and detailed text data (file) stored in the RAM 328b are all deleted once, and the notification video data (file) and detailed text data (file) included in the received CM data are newly updated. The notification video data (file) and the detailed text data (file) are updated.

  By executing the CM data table update process in the card unit 3 (control unit 328) in this way, the CM data table of the card unit 3 includes the CM data table of the system controller 110, that is, the CM information table of the management server 14. The same data as the registration data registered in is stored, the same notification video data (file) as the notification video data (file) stored in the system controller 110 or the management server 14, and the detailed information provision form The detailed text data (file) that is the same as the detailed text data (file) stored in the CM-ID system controller 110 or the management server 14 in which “unit display” is stored in the item is stored in the RAM 328b. become.

  In addition, after the CM data table is updated by the CM data table update processing, the non-operating CM display order data and the visitor CM display order data are updated based on the registered data in the updated CM data table. Perform the update process.

  Specifically, for example, when the operating rank and the non-operating rank are registered as in the CM data table shown in FIG. 4B, the CM display order data update process sets the non-operating rank of the CM data table. In the corresponding rank, the CM-ID of the rank is registered to update the non-operating CM display order data, and the visitor CM display order data is included in the CM-IDs in which the operating rank of the CM data table is registered. The CM-IDs are sequentially registered in order of the operation order of the CM data table, except for the conditions in which member information is registered in the notification conditions, and the visitor CM display order data is updated.

  Next, the operation status of the information providing system of this embodiment accompanying each operation of the card unit 3 will be described below. First, FIG. 13 is executed by the control unit 328 mounted on the card unit 3 of this embodiment. The control unit 328 is activated by turning on the power to the card unit 3 to perform the activation process of Sb1, confirming the connection status of each unit, and the system unit 328 Transmission of a connection confirmation request to the controller 110 and setting of initial values and the like in each setting data based on setting information returned from the system controller 110 in response to the transmission of the connection confirmation request, or as described above, the system controller 110 Based on the CM data table update process based on the CM data returned from the server, or based on the stored data of the CM data table after the update Ku to implement the CM display order data update processing.

  Then, by carrying out the processing of Sb2 to Sb8 after carrying out the activation process, the card acceptance which is the card insertion into the card insertion slot 309, the operation of the lending button by the player (member or visitor), the banknote insertion slot It becomes a standby state for detecting cash acceptance by insertion of cash from 302 or the coin insertion slot 303, operation of the return button by the player, operation of the replay switch 319, and acceptance of the mobile phone 5.

  In the standby state, when a visitor player inserts a prepaid card issued by, for example, another card unit 3 or a card issuing machine (not shown), or a member player inserts a member card into the card insertion slot 309, When the insertion detection information accompanying the insertion of the prepaid card is output from the internal card reader / writer 327 to the control unit 328, the control unit 328 determines that the card is accepted in Sb2, and proceeds to Sb9. To implement.

  In the card acceptance process in Sb9, as shown in FIG. 14, first, it is determined whether or not there is a member card or prepaid card already accepted by the internal card reader / writer 327 (Sc1), and the member being accepted is received. If there is a card or prepaid card, the process proceeds to step Sc6, and a discharge instruction is output to the internal card reader / writer 327, so that the prepaid card or member card inserted into the card insertion slot 309 is returned. On the other hand, if the card accepting process is finished, but there is no card being accepted, the process proceeds to step Sc2, and an instruction to take in the member card or prepaid card inserted into the card insertion slot 309 is output to the internal card reader / writer 327. And insert the inserted membership card or prepaid card Read into the card slot of the reader / writer 327 and read out the stored data stored in the member card or prepaid card, specifically, the (member) card ID of the member card or prepaid card and the game balance data, etc. An authentication request including the read (member) card ID, game balance data, and device ID is transmitted to the system controller 110, and a card authentication process for receiving an authentication result from the system controller 110 is performed (Sc3).

  In response to the reception of the authentication request, the system controller 110 determines whether or not the (member) card ID included in the received authentication request exists in the card management table. The game balance stored and managed in the card management table in association with the card ID is the game balance data included in the received authentication request, that is, the game balance read from the accepted membership card or prepaid card It is determined whether or not it matches the game balance specified from the data, and the condition item of the unit management table corresponding to the device ID included in the received authentication request is “not accepted” on condition that the match is made. Is updated to “accepting”, and the (member) card ID included in the authentication request is stored in the item of the acceptance card ID. With the reply, if the balance for a game does not match the returns an "authentication NG".

  Further, when the (member) card ID included in the received authentication request does not exist in the card management table, that is, a member card (other store member card) issued at another amusement hall or a prepaid card (other store prepaid). The system controller 110 temporarily stores the received authentication request and adds an out-of-field authentication request in which the game hall ID of the game hall is added to the authentication request received from the card unit 3 to the management server. 14 is transmitted.

  In response to the reception of the out-of-field authentication request, the management server 14 determines whether or not the (member) card ID included in the received out-of-field authentication request exists in the card management database. Member) The game balance stored in the card management database in association with the card ID is the game balance data included in the received off-site authentication request, that is, the received membership card (other store membership card). Alternatively, it is determined whether or not it matches the game balance specified from the game balance data read from the prepaid card (other store prepaid card), and “Authentication OK” is returned as an authentication result on condition that they match. If the game balance does not match and the (member) card ID included in the off-site authentication request received in the card management database does not exist, The NG "reply to the sender of the system controller 110 of 該場 out authentication requests.

  When returning the authentication result, if the authentication result is “authentication OK” and the card ID included in the off-site authentication request is a member card ID, the management server 14 The game room ID added to the off-site authentication request and the member information stored in the member information database for each game hall corresponding to the member card ID are transmitted to the card unit 3 through the system controller 110 together with the authentication result. As described above, the member CM display order update process may be performed in the card unit 3 to update the member CM display order data based on the received member information.

  If the authentication result received from the management server 14 is “authentication OK”, the status item of the unit management table corresponding to the device ID included in the temporarily stored authentication request is changed from “not accepted” to “accepted”. The (member) card ID included in the authentication request is stored in the item of the reception card ID, and the (member) card ID and the game balance included in the temporarily stored authentication request are stored in the card management table. After temporarily registering and making the member card (other store member card) or prepaid card (other store prepaid card) usable at the game hall, the authentication request temporarily stores “authentication OK” as an authentication result. The authentication request received from the management server 14 is “authenticated” while the authentication request stored temporarily is deleted by replying to the card unit 3 of the device ID included in If it is NG "deletes the authentication request is the" authentication NG "reply and stored at the one the card unit 3 of the device ID included in the authentication request is temporarily stored.

  When the authentication result returned from the system controller 110 is “authentication NG” in this way, the process proceeds from step Sc4 to step Sc10, and an instruction to eject the accepted member card or prepaid card is sent to the internal card reader / writer 327. Output and return the inserted member card or prepaid card to finish the card acceptance process. On the other hand, if the returned authentication result is “authentication OK”, the process proceeds from step Sc4 to step Sc5. (Member) card ID and game balance data read from the membership card or prepaid card are stored in the items of the reception card ID and game balance in the information table, and the data stored in the operation information item is “ After updating to `` in operation '', the game balance specified from the stored game balance data is It is displayed on the amount display device (Sc6).

  Then, proceeding to the step of Sc7, the card ID stored in the information table falls within the range of the membership card ID issued at the game hall, specifically, the corresponding membership card ID in FIG. It is determined whether or not it is a member card ID, and it is determined whether or not the received card is a member card (house member card) issued at the game hall. If it is a card, the card acceptance process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb8. On the other hand, if it is a house member card, the process proceeds to Sc8, and the member player who owns the accepted member card. The member information acquisition process for acquiring the member information from the system controller 110 is performed, the process proceeds to the member CM display order update process of Sc9, and the member CM display order shown in FIG. After updating the data, to exit the card acceptance processing, it returns to the standby state of Sb2~Sb8.

  In the member information acquisition process of this embodiment, specifically, the member information request including the member card ID and the device ID stored in the information table is transmitted to the system controller 110 so that the system controller 110 Member information including the number of saving balls, password, store point, surname, name, gender, age, birthday, occupation, and address stored in the data table in association with the member card ID included in the member information request It is extracted and returned to the card unit 3 as member information data. Then, in response to the return of the member information data, the control unit 328 determines the number of saving balls, password, point of visit, last name, name, gender, age, birthday, occupation, and address included in the received member information data. As shown in FIG. 4C, the received member information is stored in association with the member card ID stored in the information table, and the member information acquisition process is terminated.

  In addition, in the member CM display order update process of this embodiment, the operation order is registered in the member information stored in the accepted member information acquired in the member information acquisition process and the CM data table updated in the startup process. Each CM excluding the CM corresponding to the notification condition that does not correspond to the member player who owns the member card being accepted based on the notification condition of the received CM, that is, the CM that satisfies the notification condition of the member player Are stored in the member CM display order data in accordance with the operation order. Specifically, in the CM data table shown in FIG. 4B, when the male member information as shown in FIG. 4C is stored in the receiving member information, the operation rank is registered. The CM-0003 “Diet beer” of the CM-0003 in which the female member is registered as a notification condition among the CM-IDs CM-0001, CM-0002, CM-0003, CM-0004, CM-0005,. The other CMs, except for the CM of “”, are based on the corresponding operation rank, that is, the CML 0002 in the operation rank 1 is in the order 1, the CM-0002 in the operation rank 2 is in the order 2, and the CM-0001 in the operation rank 4. In order 3, the CM-ID of each CM is stored in the member CM display order data.

  That is, in the member CM display order update process of this embodiment, the management server 14 manages the member card in association with the member card ID of the member card received by the internal card reader / writer 327 (member recording medium reading means). The member information stored in the receiving member information, which is the same member information as the member information managed in association with the member card ID by the management server 14 in the member information, is the notification condition storage means of the present invention. The notification video (notification information) that matches the notification condition stored in the CM data table is specified as member notification information to be notified to the member and stored in the member CM display order data, and the member CM display Member order information specifying means in the present invention is formed by the order update process.

  In other words, in the card acceptance process, the gaming balance stored in the accepted membership card or prepaid card is fraudulent to match the gaming balance stored and managed in the system controller 110 or the management server 14. In the case where only a non-member card or a prepaid card can be used and the received card is a house member card, the CM- By storing the ID in the member CM display order data, as will be described later, the notification video of each CM-ID stored in the member CM display order data is displayed on the display unit 312 as a notification video matching the member. It will be displayed and announced.

  In the standby state of Sb <b> 2 to Sb <b> 8, when the player operates the lending button, a signal from the lending button switch for detecting the lending button operation by the player is output to the control unit 328. Thus, the control unit 328 determines that there is an operation of the lending button in the step of Sb3, proceeds to the step of Sb10, and performs the first lending process of FIG.

  In this first lending process, as shown in FIG. 15, first, the remaining amount for gaming that is read from the inserted member card or prepaid card and stored in the information table, or stored in the information table in the deposit process described later is stored. , Less than 105 yen that is the total amount of 100 yen that is the unit amount used in this embodiment and 5 yen that is the consumption tax amount corresponding to the unit amount used (5% tax rate in this embodiment) (Sd1), and if the remaining amount for gaming is less than 105 yen, it is determined as “Yes” in the determination, the first lending process is terminated, and the standby state of Sb2 to Sb8 On the other hand, if the remaining amount for gaming is 105 yen or more, the process proceeds to step Sd2, and the remaining amount for gaming is 500 yen set as the first usage amount of the first lending process in this embodiment. Determining whether a is a consumption tax corresponding to the use amount 25 yen (rate 5%) and total first tax included such amounts become 525 or more is of. In the following description, the game balance displayed on the balance display means the game balance stored in the game balance field of the information table.

  If the remaining amount for gaming is 525 yen or more, which is the first tax-included usage amount, proceed to the steps from Sd2 to Sd3 and carry out the usage amount ball lending process, while the first tax-included usage amount is less than 525 yen If there is, the process proceeds from step Sd2 to step Sd8, and display amount ball lending processing is performed.

  In the used amount ball lending process in the step of Sd3, an instruction for paying out the number of pachinko balls corresponding to 500 yen as the first used amount, specifically, in this embodiment, the lending unit price of one pachinko ball is 4 Since it is a yen, a payout instruction of 125 balls corresponding to 500 yen is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 to pay out the number of pachinko balls.

  Then, the process proceeds to the step of Sd4, and 525 yen which is a tax-included amount is subtracted and updated from the game balance displayed on the balance display, and the game balance in the information table and the member card or prepaid card being received are If there is, the remaining game data stored in the receiving membership card or prepaid card is converted into the remaining game data that can specify a new game remaining amount by subtracting and updating the first tax-included 525 yen. After updating (Sd5), the device ID uniquely assigned to the card unit 3 to the system controller 110, and the (member) card ID of the member card or prepaid card being accepted (only when accepting the card), A lending completion notice including the first tax-included usage amount is transmitted (Sd6), and the card of the system controller 110 The first tax-included usage amount is subtracted and updated from the gaming balance stored in association with the (member) card ID in the physical table, and the first total usage amount corresponding to the device ID in the unit management table is added to the first total usage amount today. Update the usage amount including tax.

  Then, the process proceeds to step Sd7-, where it is determined whether a prepaid card is being received. If the prepaid card is not being received, the first lending process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2-Sb8. If the prepaid card is being received, the process proceeds to step Sd7, and it is determined whether or not the new game balance displayed on the balance display is zero.

  If the remaining game amount is not 0 in the determination, the first lending process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb8. On the other hand, if the remaining game amount is 0, the process proceeds to step Sd12. Thus, the prepaid card with the game balance of 0 is collected in the storage part of the internal card reader / writer 327, and the first lending process is ended.

  On the other hand, in the display amount ball lending process in the step of Sd8, the consumption tax amount corresponding to the used unit amount of 100 yen is added to the used unit amount of 100 yen out of the remaining game amount displayed on the remaining amount display. The maximum amount that is an integer multiple of 105 yen, which is the total amount of 5 yen including tax, for example, if the remaining amount for gaming is 475 yen, it is the amount that is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is the unit price including tax Instruction for paying out the number of pachinko balls corresponding to 420 yen corresponding to the maximum amount of 4 times, specifically, in this embodiment, the lending unit price of one pachinko ball is 4 yen, so consumption from 420 yen A payout instruction for 100 balls corresponding to 400 yen, which is a tax-free amount excluding the tax amount of 20 yen, is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 to pay out the number of pachinko balls.

  Then, the process proceeds to step Sd9, and 420 yen, which is the amount including tax used for pachinko ball lending, is subtracted from the game balance displayed on the balance display, and the information table and the member card being received are updated. Alternatively, when there is a prepaid card, the game residual data stored in the member card or prepaid card being received is subtracted from the tax-included amount of 420 yen and updated to specify a new game residual After updating to the remaining amount data (Sd10), the system controller 110 is given a device ID that is uniquely assigned to the card unit 3, the card ID of the prepaid card that is being accepted, and 420 yen that includes the tax. (Sd11) and the system controller 110 (member) card I In association with to subtraction update the amount of 該税 inclusive from balance for a game stored in the card management table, thereby adding updating the amount of 該税 included in the total use amount today corresponding to the apparatus ID in the unit management table.

  Then, the process proceeds to step Sd7-, where it is determined whether a prepaid card is being received. If the prepaid card is not being received, the first lending process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2-Sb8. If the prepaid card is being received, the process proceeds to step Sd7, and it is determined whether or not the new game balance displayed on the balance display is zero.

  If the remaining game amount is not 0 in the determination, the first lending process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb8. On the other hand, if the remaining game amount is 0, the process proceeds to step Sd12. Thus, the prepaid card with the game balance of 0 is collected in the storage part of the internal card reader / writer 327, and the first lending process is ended.

  Further, when the player inserts cash from the bill insertion slot 302 or the coin insertion slot 303 in the standby state of Sb2 to Sb8 described above, the currency identification information associated with the insertion of the cash is the banknote identification unit 321 or the coin identification. By outputting to the control unit 328 from the unit 322, the control unit 328 determines that there is acceptance of cash in the step of Sb4, proceeds to the step of Sb11, and performs the deposit process of FIG.

  In this depositing process, as shown in FIG. 16, first, the amount of money inserted is specified from the input money identification information. In addition, if the specified input amount is an amount of coins, specifically, an amount of less than 1000 yen due to the insertion of 500 yen coins or 100 yen coins, it is possible that additional coins will be additionally inserted. Until a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds elapses after the input of the identification information, it enters a state of waiting for further input of the currency identification information. When a plurality of currency identification information is input, the identification amount specified from each currency identification information The total amount is specified as the input amount (Sg1).

  Then, proceeding to the step of Sg2, it is determined whether or not there is a member card or prepaid card being accepted by the internal card reader / writer 327, and if there is no member card or prepaid card being accepted, specifically, If the (member) card ID is not stored in the reception card ID of the information table, the process proceeds to the step of Sg3, and the input amount specified in the step of Sg1 is set to the game remaining amount (including 0 yen) in the information table. ) Is added and updated, and a payment notification including the added and updated deposit amount (same as the deposit amount) and the device ID of the card unit 3 is transmitted to the system controller 110, and the system controller 110 stores it in the unit management table. Sg is updated by adding the deposit amount to the total deposit amount stored today corresponding to the device ID. On the other hand, if there is a member card or prepaid card being accepted (when (member) card ID is stored in the reception card ID of the information table), the process proceeds to step Sg6, and Sg1 The added amount specified in the step is added to the remaining amount for gaming specified from the remaining amount data for gaming stored in the member card or prepaid card (and information table) being received, and the remaining amount data for gaming is After the new game balance after the addition is updated to the game balance data that can be specified, the deposit amount (same as the deposit amount), the device ID of the card unit 3, the member card or prepaid card ( Member) a card payment notice including the card ID is sent to the system controller 110 and the system controller 110 The deposit amount is added to the remaining amount for gaming stored in correspondence with the (member) card ID in the management table and updated, and the total deposit amount stored in correspondence with the device ID in the unit management table today The payment amount is updated by adding to step Sg5.

  In the step of Sg5, the remaining amount for gaming displayed on the remaining amount indicator is used for a new game after the addition update stored in the remaining amount for gaming in the information table (member card or prepaid card being accepted). The remaining amount is updated and displayed, the deposit process is terminated, and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb8.

  In this embodiment, the deposit process can be carried out without depending on the game balance before the addition update. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these deposit processes are added. Only when the remaining amount for gaming before renewal becomes a predetermined amount, for example, 1000 yen or less, it can be implemented, and the remaining amount for gaming becomes unnecessarily large, so that the prepaid card of the large remaining amount for gaming is lost. It may be possible to prevent the disadvantages of the player such as the above, and excessive infiltration into the game.

  Further, when the player operates the return button in the above-described standby state of Sb2 to Sb8, a signal from the return tan switch for detecting the return button operation by the player is output to the control unit 328. As a result, the control unit 328 determines that the return button is operated in Sb5, proceeds to Sb12, and performs the return / issuance processing of FIG.

  In this return / issuance process, as shown in FIG. 17, it is first determined whether or not there is a member card or prepaid card being accepted by the internal card reader / writer 327 (Sf1). By outputting a discharge instruction to the internal card reader / writer 327, the member card or prepaid card being received by the internal card reader / writer 327 is discharged and returned (Sf6), and the returned member card or prepaid card is returned. A return notification including the (member) card ID and the device ID of the card unit 3 is transmitted to the system controller 110, and the system controller 110 confirms that the member card or prepaid card specified from the (member) card ID has been returned. At the same time as receiving member information and information table Only to remove the remaining amount for the card ID and the game.

  Based on the reception of the return notification, the system controller 110 updates the status corresponding to the device ID included in the received return notification in the unit management table to “not accepted”, and the corresponding “reception card ID”. The card ID stored in the item is deleted, and the (member) card ID included in the return notification is a member card or prepaid card issued at another game hall temporarily registered in the card management table. If there is, the remaining amount update information including the (member) card ID provisionally registered in the card management table and the remaining amount for gaming is transmitted to the management server 14, and the relevant ( Member) Update the game balance stored and managed in correspondence with the card ID, and then store the provisional registration data in the card management table. To remove et al.

  On the other hand, if there is no member card or prepaid card being accepted by the internal card reader / writer 327, the process proceeds from step Sf1 to Sf2 and specified from the game balance data stored in the game balance item of the information table. It is determined whether or not there is a game balance, and if there is no game balance, that is, if the game balance is 0 yen, the return / issue process is terminated while the game balance is completed. Is present, that is, not 0 yen, the process proceeds to step Sf3, and the prepaid card stored in the storage unit of the internal card reader / writer 327 is moved to the reading position of the card slot of the internal card reader / writer 327. The stored data of the prepaid card used for the issuance, specifically, the card ID is read, and the information table After the game balance data stored in the item of the technical balance is written to the prepaid card and the gaming balance data is updated, the prepaid card is ejected from the card insertion slot 309 and the remaining balance is displayed at that time. A prepaid card in which game balance data that can identify the game balance displayed on the device is stored is issued to the player (Sf4). In the step of Sf3, if there is no prepaid card stored in the storage unit, an error is displayed on the display unit 312, the prepaid card is inserted, and the card for issuing is issued from the card insertion slot 309. Is inserted, the inserted prepaid card is used for issuing.

  Then, the process proceeds to step Sf5, and the game balance data stored in the game balance item of the information table is updated to “0” and issued in the device ID of the card unit 3 and the step Sf3. By sending an issuance notification including the card ID read from the prepaid card and the game balance data written and stored in the prepaid card to the system controller 110, the system controller 110 allows the card of the issued prepaid card. The game balance stored in the card management table in association with the ID is updated to the game balance stored in the issued prepaid card, so that the prepaid card is adjusted to another card unit 3 or a settlement not shown. It can be used in the device.

  In this embodiment, in the first use process described above, the game balance data stored in the membership card or the prepaid card is sequentially updated every time the game balance is used for ball lending, so that the return operation can be performed. The membership card or the prepaid card is returned without updating the game balance data. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the membership card is used each time the game balance is used for ball lending. Without updating the game balance data of the prepaid card or the prepaid card, only the game balance data stored in the game balance item of the information table is updated, and at the time of return the information table game The game balance data stored in the balance item may be updated and stored as the game balance data of the prepaid card and returned.

  Further, when the player operates the replay switch 319 in the standby state of Sb2 to Sb8 described above, a signal for detecting the operation of the replay switch 319 by the player is output to the control unit 328. Thus, the control unit 328 determines that there is an operation of the replay switch 319 in Sb6, proceeds to Sb13, and performs the replay process of FIG.

  In this replay process, as shown in FIG. 18, first, it is determined whether or not “1” indicating matching has been registered in the verified item of the receiving member information (Se1), and “1”. If "1" is registered, the process proceeds to the step of Se5. If "1" is not registered, the process proceeds to the step of Se2, and a password number receiving screen (not shown) including a numeric keypad for receiving the password is displayed. The password is displayed on the display unit 312 and the password is accepted.

  Then, it is checked whether the password received on the password receiving screen matches the password stored in the password number field of the member information received. If both passwords do not match Ends the replay process and returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb8. On the other hand, if both passwords match, it proceeds to the step from Se3 to Se4, and accepts “1” indicating collation. Then, the process proceeds to step Se5.

  In the step of Se5, the number of saving balls stored in the receiving member information is displayed on the display unit 312 to notify the member player of the number of saving balls.

  And it progresses to the step of Se6, and the number of the replay unit in which the number of saved balls is set to replay, specifically, in this embodiment, 125 balls corresponding to 500 yen and the replay fee 10 It is determined whether or not there are 135 balls or more, which is the total number of balls, and if there is no saving ball number that is equal to or greater than the number of replay units, the process proceeds to step Se12 to indicate that replay is not possible. After the message to be displayed is displayed on the display unit 312, the replay process is ended and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb8. On the other hand, if there are stored balls more than the number of replay units, the process proceeds to Step Se7. Then, the replay display unit 320 (replay LED 320a) is turned on to notify the member player that the operation of the replay switch 319 is effective, and the replay switch 319 is displayed on the display unit 312. After displaying the message prompting the user to create, the operation waiting state of the re-play switch 319.

  If there is no operation of the replay switch 319 within a predetermined time, the replay processing is ended and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb8, while the replay switch 319 is operated within the predetermined time. In this case, the process proceeds from Step Se8 to Step Se9, and the replay unit number (135 balls) is subtracted and updated from the number of saving balls stored in the receiving member information, and the replay display unit 320 (replay LED 320a). Is turned off, a replay ball lending process in the step of Se10 is performed. In the replay ball lending process of this embodiment, the number of pachinko balls corresponding to the number of replay units (135 balls), specifically, 125 pachinko balls excluding the fee from the number of replay units (135 balls). A ball payout instruction is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 to pay out the number of pachinko balls.

  Then, proceeding to the step of Se11, a replay completion notification including the device ID of the card unit 3 and the member card ID of the member card being accepted is transmitted to the system controller 110, whereby the system controller 110 After the replay unit number (135 balls) is subtracted and updated from the number of saving balls stored in correspondence with the member card ID in the member data table, the replay process is terminated and the standby state of Sb2 to Sb8 Return to.

  Next, the processing after Sb7 will be described together with the electronic money use processing (not shown) performed on the mobile phone 5 side. Specifically, when the player brings the cellular phone 5 close to the electronic money communication unit 332 (external card reader / writer 330) of the card unit 3, the non-contact IC chip of the cellular phone 5 is transmitted by Sb7. And the electronic money use processing is performed by the non-contact IC chip.

  When the external card reader / writer 330 receives the specific transaction request including the electronic money amount transmitted from the IC chip of the mobile phone 5 in response to the polling transmission of Sb7, the received specific transaction request is transmitted to the external card. By outputting to the control unit 328 from the reader / writer 330, the control unit 328 determines that the specific transaction request is received in the step Sb8, proceeds to the step Sb14, and includes the electronic money amount included in the received specific transaction request. (Including the company ID of the electronic money company) is temporarily stored, and it is determined whether or not there is a member card or prepaid card being accepted. If there is no member card or prepaid card being accepted, Sb15 The second lending process shown in FIG. 19 is carried out while Membered card or when the prepaid card is present, the process proceeds to step Sb16, implementing the second deposit process shown in FIG. 20.

  In the second lending process of this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, it is determined whether or not the amount of electronic money temporarily stored in step Sb14 is less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount (Sh1). If it is less than 105 yen, which is the tax-included unit amount, the process proceeds to step Sh6, and a remaining amount error is transmitted (returned) to the non-contact IC chip of the cellular phone 5 being accepted.

  The balance error transmitted (returned) in this way is received by the non-contact IC chip, and error information (insufficient balance) is sent from the non-contact IC chip to a control unit (not shown) that controls the operation of the mobile phone 5. By being transmitted, a message indicating that the remaining amount of electronic money is insufficient is displayed on the display unit of the mobile phone 5 for a predetermined time.

  On the other hand, if the electronic money amount is not less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, the process proceeds to the step of Sh2, and the electronic money amount is set to 1000 yen and the first amount set as the second usage amount of the second lending process. 2. It is determined whether or not the second tax-included usage amount is 1050 yen or more, which is a total amount of 50 yen (tax rate 5%) that is the consumption tax amount corresponding to the usage amount.

  In the determination, if the amount of electronic money is 1050 yen or more, which is the second tax-included usage amount, the process proceeds to the step of Sh3, and the second tax-included usage amount of 1050 yen and the device ID of the card unit 3 are obtained. The specific transaction information is transmitted (returned) to the non-contact IC chip of the mobile phone 5 that is receiving the specific transaction information.

  The specific transaction information transmitted (replyed) in this way is detected by electronic money usage processing (not shown) performed by the non-contact IC chip, so that the second tax-included usage amount included in the received specific transaction information is included. Is subtracted and updated from the amount of electronic money stored in the non-contact IC chip, and then a subtraction update completion notification is returned.

  The reception of the transmitted subtraction update completion notification is detected in Sh4 of the second lending process, proceeds to the step of Sh5, and the number of pachinko balls corresponding to 1050 yen that is the second tax-included usage amount transmitted as the specific transaction information, That is, a ball for which 250 payout instructions, which is the number of balls obtained by dividing 1000 yen set as the second usage amount by 4 yen, is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 to pay out the number of pachinko balls. While carrying out the lending process, the system proceeds to the step of Sh6 and issues a lending completion notification including the device ID uniquely assigned to the card unit 3, the second tax-included amount used, and the company ID of the used electronic money amount After transmitting to the controller 110 and updating the total amount used today corresponding to the device ID in the unit management table by adding the second amount including tax, the second lending process is performed. Ryo to return to the standby state of Sb2~Sb8.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in Sh2 that the amount of electronic money is not 1050 yen or more, including tax, the process proceeds to step Sh7, and the maximum amount of electronic money is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is a unit price including tax. For example, if the amount of electronic money is 700 yen, the specified amount is 630 yen corresponding to 6 times that is the largest amount with an integral multiple of 105 yen that is a tax-included unit amount. The specific transaction information including 630 yen and the device ID of the card unit 3 is transmitted (returned) to the non-contact IC chip of the cellular phone 5 that is accepting (Sh8).

  The specific transaction information transmitted (returned) in this way is 630 yen that is the amount included in the received specific transaction information by being detected by electronic money usage processing (not shown) performed by the non-contact IC chip. However, after the amount of electronic money stored in the non-contact IC chip is subtracted and updated, a subtraction update completion notification is returned.

  The reception of the transmitted subtraction update completion notification is detected in Sh4 of the second lending process, proceeds to the step of Sh5, and is the number of pachinko balls corresponding to 630 yen that is the amount transmitted as the specific transaction information, that is, the consumption tax amount. A ball lending process is implemented in which a payout instruction of 150 balls, which is the number of balls obtained by dividing 600 yen excluding a certain 30 yen by 4 yen, is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 and the number of pachinko balls is paid out. At the same time, the process proceeds to the step of Sh6, and the loan is completed including the device ID uniquely assigned to the card unit 3, the amount specified in the step of Sh7 (630 yen), and the company ID of the used electronic money amount The notification is transmitted to the system controller 110, and the amount (63) specified in the step of Sh7 is added to the total amount used today corresponding to the device ID in the unit management table. After adding updating the circle), the processing returns to the standby state in Sb2~Sb8 end the second lending process.

  Next, in the second deposit process in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 20, it is determined whether or not the amount of electronic money temporarily stored in step Sb14 is less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount ( If it is less than 105 yen, which is the unit price including tax, the process proceeds to step Sk8, and a remaining amount error is transmitted (returned) to the non-contact IC chip of the cellular phone 5 being accepted.

  The balance error transmitted (returned) in this way is received by the non-contact IC chip, and error information (insufficient balance) is sent from the non-contact IC chip to a control unit (not shown) that controls the operation of the mobile phone 5. By being transmitted, a message indicating that the remaining amount of electronic money is insufficient is displayed on the display unit of the mobile phone 5 for a predetermined time.

  On the other hand, if the electronic money amount is not less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount, the process proceeds to step Sk2, and the electronic money amount is set to 1000 yen and the first amount set as the second deposit amount of the second deposit process. It is determined whether or not it is 1050 yen or more, which is the second tax-included deposit amount that is a total amount of 50 yen (tax rate 5%) that is the consumption tax amount corresponding to the two deposit amounts.

  In this determination, if the amount of electronic money is 1050 yen or more, which is the second tax-included deposit amount, the process proceeds to Step Sk3, and the second tax-included deposit amount of 1050 yen and the device ID of the card unit 3 are obtained. The specific transaction information is transmitted (returned) to the non-contact IC chip of the mobile phone 5 that is receiving the specific transaction information.

  The specific transaction information transmitted (replyed) in this way is detected by electronic money usage processing (not shown) performed by the non-contact IC chip, so that the second tax-included usage amount included in the received specific transaction information is included. Is subtracted and updated from the amount of electronic money stored in the non-contact IC chip, and then a subtraction update completion notification is returned.

  The reception of the transmitted subtraction update completion notice is detected at Sk4 of the second lending process and proceeds to the step of Sk5. The second tax-included deposit amount transmitted as specific transaction information is received as a member card or prepaid card ( In addition, it is added to the game balance specified from the game balance data stored in the information table), and the new game balance after the addition of the game balance data is updated to the game balance data that can be specified. Thereafter, a card deposit notification including the second tax-included deposit amount, the device ID of the card unit 3, the card ID of the prepaid card being accepted, and the electronic money ID is transmitted to the system controller 110, and the system controller 110 The second tax-included deposit is added to the game balance stored in correspondence with the (member) card ID in the card management table In addition to updating and adding the second tax-included deposit amount to the total deposit amount stored today corresponding to the device ID in the unit management table, the process proceeds to step Sk7 and displayed on the remaining amount indicator. The game balance is updated and displayed in the information table (member card or prepaid card being accepted) as the new game balance after the addition update stored in the game balance, and the second deposit process is completed. And it returns to the standby state of Sb2-Sb8.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in Sk2 that the amount of electronic money is not 1050 yen or more, which is the second tax-included amount, the process proceeds to step Sk9, and among the amount of electronic money, an amount that is an integral multiple of 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount If the amount of electronic money is 700 yen, for example, 630 yen corresponding to 6 times that is the largest amount with an integer multiple of 105 yen that is a tax-included unit amount is specified, and the specified amount Specific transaction information including 630 yen and the device ID of the card unit 3 is transmitted (returned) to the non-contact IC chip of the cellular phone 5 that is receiving (Sk10).

  The specific transaction information transmitted (returned) in this way is 630 yen that is the amount included in the received specific transaction information by being detected by electronic money usage processing (not shown) performed by the non-contact IC chip. However, after the amount of electronic money stored in the non-contact IC chip is subtracted and updated, a subtraction update completion notification is returned.

  The received subtraction update completion notification is detected in Sk4 of the second lending process, proceeds to the step of Sk5, and the member receiving 630 yen, which is the amount specified in Sk9 transmitted as the specific transaction information A game that can be added to the game balance specified from the game balance data stored in the card or prepaid card (and information table), and can be used to specify a new game balance after adding the game balance data. After updating to the remaining amount data, the system controller sends a card payment notification including the amount 630 yen specified in Sk9, the device ID of the card unit 3, the card ID of the prepaid card being accepted, and the electronic money ID. 110 and stored in correspondence with the (member) card ID in the card management table of the system controller 110 630 yen, which is the amount specified in the Sk9, is added to the remaining balance for gaming and updated, and the total deposit amount stored today corresponding to the device ID in the unit management table is specified in Sk9. After adding and updating the amount of 630 yen, the process proceeds to step Sk7, and the remaining amount for gaming displayed on the remaining amount indicator is stored in the remaining amount for gaming in the information table (member card or prepaid card being accepted). It is updated and displayed in the new game balance after the addition update, and the second deposit process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb8.

  Next, an interrupt monitoring process performed in parallel with the normal process shown in FIG. 13 in the card unit 3 (control unit 328) will be described below with reference to FIG.

  In the interrupt monitoring process of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, the operation of the menu switch 316 by the player (member or visitor) is accepted by performing the steps of Sw1 to Sw6, and the data switch 318 Detecting operation acceptance, display update timer time-up, operation reception of “detailed information” selection input section on notification video screen displayed on display unit 312, out-ball count signal input, non-working determination timer time-up Monitoring state.
