Description

The present invention collects and aggregates game information such as out information, safe information, jackpot information, and ball rental information from a plurality of gaming machines (also called game machines ) and ball rental machines installed in the game hall. The present invention relates to a management device, and more particularly, to a game hall management device that can predict sales and quotients after a predetermined time with high accuracy using only game information on the day.

  From multiple gaming machines (pachinko machines, slot machines, etc.) and ball lending machines (game ball lending machines, medal lending machines, etc.) installed in the amusement hall, out information (number of game balls launched and number of medals inserted), Collect game information such as safe information (number of game balls and medals paid out), jackpot information (big hit, probability change, time reduction, big bonus, regular bonus, challenge time, etc.), ball lending information (number of game balls and medals rented) A game hall management device (a hall computer) that performs counting is known.

FIG. 8 is an explanatory diagram showing an operation status list screen of the game hall management device according to the conventional example.
In the game hall management device, the operating status of each gaming machine can be confirmed on a list screen of each model. For example, in the operation status list screen shown in FIG. 8, the safe information and out information in the normal gaming state, the safe information and out information in the jackpot gaming state, the safe information and out information in the probability variation gaming state, the safe information and out information in the short-time gaming state Information, total safe information and total out information over all gaming states, current start count (start count from previous jackpot to present), total start count for today, jackpot deduction (mochitama = (safe-out) + It is possible to check (rented balls).

  In addition, in a normal game hall management device, not only the operating status of each gaming machine is simply aggregated, but also based on the aggregated information (normal output rate = normal number of safe / normal out number) , Calculate sales indicators such as the rate of appearance (machine discount = cumulative number of safes / total number of outs), sales (ball rental amount), and percent (business discount = (number of premiums x exchange rate) / sales) Provided to site managers. In general, amusement hall managers perform various business plans (purchase of premiums, introduction of new machines, events, etc.) and adjustment of the play rate (nail adjustment, probability setting, etc.) based on these business indicators.

  Also, in recent years, a game hall management device that predicts operating conditions and business indicators has been proposed. For example, in the game hall management devices (game hall information processing devices) disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3, the next day's operation status and business indicators are predicted based on the operation history information on the current day and / or past business days. In addition, the business value is easily grasped by displaying the predicted value and the actual value in time series on the business day.

By the way, when opening a new amusement hall or opening a new store (grand opening due to replacement of a new stand), we will increase the rate of participation (dividend) higher than normal business days, so in order to prevent shortage of prizes, It is desirable to accurately predict sales indicators.
In particular, when a store is opened without setting a closing time and the closing time is determined in accordance with the operation status and sales index on that day, it is required to accurately predict the operation status and sales index after a predetermined time.

However, in the game hall management devices disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3, since the operation history information on the past business day is used for the prediction of the operation status and the business index, the past business day is opened as in the case of a new store opening or a new store opening. When there is no operation history information in, it is difficult to predict the operation status and business indicators.
In particular, on the opening date of new stores and newly opened stores, not only will the number of balls be raised, but the business hours will often be shorter than normal business days, making it even more difficult to predict operating conditions and sales indicators. Yes.

In general, on the new opening date and the new opening date, there may be a preset service percentage to increase the number of customers who visit the store on that day, and various problems will occur if the closing time is set carelessly. There is.
For example, if the closing time is undecided, the gaming customer is because it is not a big hit to be driven more often in small models of probability, it is impossible to perform the game with confidence. In addition, when a large per greeted closed in a state where the crowded negative without shrinkage, the customer will be frustrated and did not receive the services despite the newly renovated open, cause of customer churn There is a fear. On the other hand, if it is closed in a state in which the large-per occurred frequently, will be more than expected service (the draw) is to the customer, there may be insufficient premium.
For this reason, in the opening of a new store, the operation status after a predetermined time, the prediction of business indicators, and the determination of the closing time are extremely important problems.

Here, when there is no big hidden to the jackpot probability of the gaming machine installed in a game hall, since almost determined ratio of loan ball game machine by Jidama gaming machine in accordance with the payout rate (the number of split), running A certain degree of proportionality is established between the rate and the sales, and it is relatively easy to predict sales.
However, in the conventional game arcade, since it features a gaming machine is a large hidden (1 / 250-1 / 500) to the jackpot probability, caused a large deviation in the ratio of loan ball game machine by Jidama gaming machine, There is a problem that prediction accuracy such as sales is lowered, and an error is likely to occur in the prediction judgment of the closing time.
Note that a ball rental machine is an operating game machine from the start of lending of game media (game balls, medals, etc.) to the occurrence of a big hit. It is an operating game machine.

  The present invention has been considered in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game hall management device that can predict sales and quotients after a predetermined time with high accuracy using only game information of the day.

In order to achieve the above object, the gaming hall management device of the present invention collects at least out information, safe information, jackpot information and ball rental information from a plurality of gaming machines and / or ball rental machines installed in the game hall, A game hall management device for predicting sales and / or quotients based on these game information, and operating game machine determination means for determining an operating game machine based on out information and / or safe information Based on the ball lending information and / or jackpot information, the ball lending machine determination means for determining the active gaming machine in the ball lending gaming state, and the ball lending game state based on the ball lending information and / or jackpot information. calculating a lifting ball game machine determining means for determining the operation gaming machine, a rental ball game machine sales predicting means for calculating the estimated sales after a predetermined time in the rental ball game machine, the estimated sales after a predetermined time in the lifting ball game machine Mochitama Yu And machine sales forecast means is configured to include a.

In this manner, with determining the operation / non-operation of the gaming machine, as a game status of the running game machine, it determines the lending ball game state and Jidama gaming state, estimated sales of rental ball game machine and Jidama game machine By calculating separately, it becomes possible to predict the sales and quotient after a predetermined time with high accuracy only by the game information of the day.
