Order content display processing for displaying the content, provision completion information transmission processing for transmitting provision completion information to the management computer 100 in response to acceptance of a provision completion input for each order, and order contents that have been provided as provision history Processing to memorize, tally processing that totals the number of sales (orders) of each product from the offer history, payment data generation processing that sums up sales by benefits from the offer history and generates payment data with amusement hall operators, A status information transmission process for receiving status information (information on preparation, remaining number, recommendation, etc.) of each sale product and transmitting the status information to the management computer 100 To run, and the like.

  In the storage device 155, as shown in FIG. 8, in addition to the processing program executed by the CPU 152, provision history data including a provision history table having the same configuration as the order history table shown in FIG. Stored are payment data for payment of merchandise provided as a privilege or a privilege with a game hall company operating a game hall, payment data used for sales commission payment, and the like.

  Specifically, in the settlement data, the quantity for each product of the provided products registered in the provision history table for each business day, and the unit price of the product (1 yen / ball rate) Multiplied by the total number of balls sold for each product, the total number of balls sold for each product, the total sales amount corresponding to the total number of balls sold, and the total sales. A sales fee amount that is an amount obtained by multiplying the amount by a predetermined fee ratio (for example, 15%), a privilege sales quantity for each product of a product for which “privilege” is registered as a provision type in the provision history table, The number of bonus sales balls for each product, which is the number of balls multiplied by the unit price of the product (1 yen / ball rate), the total number of bonus sales balls that is the total of the number of bonus sales balls for each product, and the Total bonus sales amount, including the total bonus sales number It has been.

  In the settlement with the amusement hall company, regarding the normal sales in which the provision type is sales, since the salesperson collects balls for the product price from the player, the total number of these collected balls is, for example, Counting in the closing process after the end of business on the 1st, confirming whether it matches the total number of balls sold in the settlement data, and then handing it over to the amusement company. The amusement hall company confirms the total number of delivered balls by checking the total number of balls in the order history in the order history table in the management computer 100 with the total number of balls in the order history whose sale type is sale, Pays the seller an amount that is equal to the total sales amount) minus a predetermined fee (sales fee amount).

  On the other hand, regarding the provision of a product whose provision type is a privilege, the seller charges the amusement hall company for the total privilege sales amount totaled in the settlement data. In response to this request, the game hall company collates the amount corresponding to the total value of the number of balls in the order history whose offer type is a privilege in the order history table in the management computer 100 with the total amount of the privilege sales that has been charged. After confirming, the total privilege sales amount is paid to the seller. In this embodiment, the salesperson collects the actual balls. However, the product price may be paid by the number of saving balls. In this case, The price of the product provided in this manner is paid by the amusement hall company in response to a request from the seller, as in the case of provision by privilege.

  Hereinafter, the processing content of each processing performed by the control unit 328 of the card unit 3 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 18, 19, and 28.

  First, the control unit 328 is activated by turning on the power to the card unit 3, thereby performing the activation process of Sb1, confirming the connection status of each unit, and requesting confirmation of connection to the management computer 100 and the hall computer 130. And setting of initial values and the like for each setting data based on the setting information returned from the management computer 100 and the hall computer 130 in response to the transmission of the connection confirmation request.

  Then, by carrying out the processing of Sb2 to Sb12 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 Acceptance of cash by inserting bills from 302, operation of return button by player, operation of replay button 319 (reception of replay operation information from display control board 329), operation of payout button 413 (input of operation signal) Operation of the “total payment” or “edge adjustment” menu displayed at the bottom of the display unit 312 (reception of the total adjustment menu or edge adjustment menu operation information from the display control board 329), below the display unit 312 “Leave seat” menu operation displayed on the screen (reception of the away menu operation information from the display control board 329), wagon button 18 (reception of wagon menu display operation information from the display control board 329), whether or not each transmission condition and advance notification condition included in the transmission condition data stored in the RAM 328b is satisfied, operation of the menu button 316 (display) A reception of main menu display operation information from the control board 329).

  Incidentally, the control unit 328, after the start processing of Sb1, in parallel with the normal processing shown in FIG. 18, the big hit medium signal output from the corresponding pachinko machine 2, the out ball counter 16 and the ball counter 410, Normal processing of interrupt monitoring (not shown) that monitors the occurrence of interrupts due to input or change of signals during probability change, time-short-time signal, start signal, prize ball signal, out ball count signal, acquired ball count signal By executing based on individual processing tasks, the occurrence of each interrupt target state is monitored, and game information update processing and counted ball count update processing associated with the occurrence of interrupt are performed sequentially It can be done.

  Specifically, in the counted number of balls update processing, one ball is counted according to the input of a counting signal output every time one ball of pachinko balls is counted by the ball counter 410. As a result of the addition and updating, the display on the display unit 312 is updated so that the total number of pachinko balls counted by the counting device 404 is displayed as the counted number of balls.

  When the player inserts a visitor card or a membership card into the card insertion slot 309 in the standby state described above, insertion detection information accompanying the insertion of the visitor card or membership card is sent from the card reader / writer 327 to the control unit 328. As a result of the output, the control unit 328 determines that there is card acceptance in Sb2, proceeds to step Sb20, and performs a card acceptance process (not shown).

  In the card acceptance processing of this embodiment in Sb20, first, it is determined whether or not there is a membership card or visitor card that is already accepted by the card reader / writer 327, and there is a membership card or visitor card that is being accepted. In this case, by outputting a discharge instruction to the card reader / writer 327, the visitor card or the membership card inserted into the card insertion slot 309 is returned and the card receiving process is terminated, but there is no receiving card. In this case, an instruction for taking in the member card or visitor card inserted into the card insertion slot 309 is output to the card reader / writer 327, and the inserted member card or visitor card is taken into the card slot of the card reader / writer 327. , Stored in the membership card or visitor card And it is stored data, specifically, the membership card or a visitor card (membership) card ID and membership ID (membership card only) and reads out gaming balance data.

  Next, the control unit 328 transmits an authentication request including the (member) card ID read from the received member card or visitor card, the game balance data, and the device ID to the management computer 100, and the authentication result from the management computer 100 The card authentication process for receiving is executed.

  In response to the reception of the authentication request, the management computer 100 determines whether the (member) card ID included in the received authentication request exists in the membership card table or the visitor card table, and cannot be used in the unavailable flag “1”. ”Is stored, and if it is present and unavailable“ 1 ”is not stored, that is, if“ 0 ”is stored in the unavailable flag, the (member) card ID is stored. The remaining balance for games stored and managed in the member card table or visitor card table in association with the remaining balance data for games included in the received authentication request, that is, the remaining balance for games read from the received member card or visitor card It is determined whether or not it matches the game balance specified from the data. ”And when the (member) card ID does not exist in the member card table or the visitor card table, or when“ 1 ”cannot be used is stored in the unusable flag, and when the game balance does not match Returns “authentication NG”. However, if the game balance does not match and the game balance specified in the authentication request is smaller, the game balance in the member card table or visitor card table is calculated. In addition to updating to the small amount, “authentication OK” is returned, and the use of the member card or visitor card is permitted.

  Upon transmission of this “authentication OK”, the management computer 100 updates the “status” data in the unit management table corresponding to the device ID included in the received authentication request to “accepting” and is included in the received authentication request. Stored in the “accepting card ID” of the unit management table.

  Further, when the received card is a visitor card and there is an acquired number of balls corresponding to the date of the day corresponding to the card ID read from the visitor card, the number of acquired balls When the information is returned together with “authentication OK” and the received card is a member card, the member ID is based on the member ID stored in the member card table corresponding to the received member card ID. The number of points visited by the member player and the member information stored in the member information table in association with is returned together with “authentication OK”.

  In transmitting the number of store visit points, it is determined whether or not the game history of the day corresponding to the member ID specified from the member card ID included in the received authentication request exists in the member-specific game history table. If the game history does not exist, a predetermined store visit point is added and updated to the store visit point number, and the store visit point number after the update is returned.

  When the authentication result returned from the management computer 100 is “authentication NG”, the card unit 3 outputs an accepted instruction to eject the member card or visitor card to the card reader / writer 327 and inserts the inserted member card or visitor. If the returned authentication result is “authentication OK” while returning the card and returning the card acceptance process, the member card ID and the member ID read from the accepted member card and the remaining amount for gaming, or the visitor card The card ID and the game balance read from are stored in the card table (FIG. 6A), and the stored game balance is displayed on the balance display.

  In addition, when the received card is a visitor card and the information on the number of balls acquired is received together with “authentication OK”, the card is set in the card unit 3 specified from the setting information stored in the EEPROM 328c. After displaying the counted number of balls based on the existing rate on the display unit 312, the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12.

  Specifically, if the number of acquired balls returned from the management computer 100 is 5000, and the rate set for the card unit 3 is 1 yen / ball, 5000 balls have been counted. On the other hand, if the rate set in the card unit 3 is 4 yen / ball, 1250 balls obtained by dividing 5000 balls by 4 are displayed as counted balls.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the member ID is stored in the card table. If the member ID is not stored, that is, if the received card is a visitor card, the device ID is given to the management computer 100. By transmitting the card reception notification including the card reception notification, the “status” data of the unit management table corresponding to the device ID included in the card reception notification is updated to “accepting”.

  On the other hand, when the received card is a member card and the number of store visit points and member information are received together with “authentication OK”, the store points are stored in the card table and the member information is stored in the RAM 328b, and then Sb2 Return to the standby state of .about.Sb12.

  In the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12, 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 Sb21, and performs the lending process.

  In this lending process, first, the game balance read out from the inserted member card or visitor card (including the visitor card issued by inserting the banknote) and stored in the RAM 328b (card table) is used in this embodiment. 100 yen which is the unit amount used (predetermined unit amount when using the game balance in the lending process) and 5 yen which is the consumption tax amount corresponding to the unit amount used (5% tax rate in this embodiment) It is determined whether it is less than 105 yen, which is a tax-included unit amount that is the total amount of the above, and if the remaining amount for gaming is less than 105 yen, it is determined as "Yes" in the determination, and the lending process is performed. If the game balance is 105 yen or more, the process proceeds to the next step, and the game balance is used for the lending process in this embodiment. Is 525 yen or more, which is the tax-included usage amount that is the sum of 500 yen (lending rate is 4 yen / ball) and 25 yen (tax rate 5%) corresponding to the usage amount. Or more than 210 yen that is 200 yen (lending rate is 1 yen / ball) and 10 yen (tax rate 5%) that is the consumption tax equivalent to the amount used. Whether or not is determined based on the set lending rate.

  When the remaining amount for gaming is greater than or equal to the tax-inclusive usage amount, the usage amount ball lending process is performed, and when it is less than the tax-inclusive usage amount, the display amount ball lending process is performed.

  In this usage amount ball lending process, the instruction to pay out the number of pachinko balls equivalent to the usage amount of 500 yen (4 yen / ball) or 200 yen (1 yen / ball), specifically equivalent to 500 yen An instruction to pay out 125 balls or an instruction to pay out 200 balls corresponding to 200 yen is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 to pay out the number of pachinko balls.

  Then, from the game balance displayed on the balance display (same as the game balance stored in the card table of the RAM 328b), 525 yen (4 yen / ball) or 210 yen (1 yen) that includes tax / Ball) and the game balance on the card table and the game balance data stored in the member card or visitor card being accepted are subtracted and updated to 525 yen or 210 yen that includes tax. After the game remaining amount is updated to the identifiable game remaining amount data, the device ID uniquely assigned to the card unit 3 and the member card or visitor card being accepted (member) A lending completion notice including the card ID and the amount including tax is transmitted, and the membership card table or visitor card of the management computer 100 is sent. At de table to subtraction update the tax use the amount from the balance for a game that is stored in association with the (membership) card ID.

  Then, it is determined whether or not the accepting card is a visitor card. If it is not a visitor card, the lending process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12, while the visitor card is being accepted. Determines whether the game balance displayed on the balance display (same as the game balance stored in the card table of the RAM 328b) is zero.

  If the game balance is not 0 in the determination, the lending process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12. On the other hand, if the game balance is 0, the management computer 100 Then, a collection permission request including the card ID of the visitor card and the device ID of the card unit 3 is transmitted.

  In response to the receipt of the collection permission request, the management computer 100 determines that the game balance stored in the visitor card table corresponding to the card ID included in the received collection permission request is “0”, and If there is no number of balls corresponding to the date of the current day and the winning flag is “0”, “collection permission” is returned to the card unit 3 that sent the collection permission request, and the card ID While the “situation” corresponding to is updated to “in storage”, even if the remaining amount for gaming is “0”, if there is an acquired number of balls corresponding to the date of that day, or the winning flag is “1” If there is, return “cannot be collected”.

  In other words, even if the remaining amount for the game is “0”, the winning card of “1” that can receive the number of balls that can be played by paying out the pachinko balls by the payout process and the product addition can be received. Is not recovered.

  The card unit 3 holds the visitor card without collecting it when it receives these “cannot be collected” from the management computer 100, while it receives the game card when it receives “collection permission” from the management computer 100. The visitor card whose remaining balance is 0 is collected in the card storage unit on the inner side of the card reader / writer 327, the lending process is terminated, and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12.

  On the other hand, in the display amount ball lending process, among the remaining amount for gaming displayed on the remaining amount indicator (same as the remaining amount for gaming stored in the card table of the RAM 328b), the usage unit amount is 100 yen, A card unit with a maximum amount of an integral multiple of 105 yen (unit amount including tax), which is the total amount of 5 yen, which is a consumption tax amount corresponding to 100 yen, for example, a lending rate of 4 yen / ball. 3, if the remaining amount for gaming is 475 yen, an instruction to pay out the number of pachinko balls equivalent to 420 yen corresponding to 4 times the maximum amount, which is an integral multiple of 105 yen (unit price including tax), specifically In this case, a payout instruction of 100 balls corresponding to 400 yen, which is a tax-free amount excluding the consumption tax of 20 yen from 420 yen, is output to the corresponding pachinko machine 2 to pay the number of pachinko balls Lay out and rent If the remaining amount for gaming is 175 yen in the card unit 3 set to 1 yen / ball, 105 yen corresponding to 1 time that is the maximum amount with an integral multiple of 105 yen (tax included unit amount). An instruction for paying out the number of pachinko balls equivalent to 100, specifically, an instruction for paying out 100 balls equivalent to 100 yen that is a tax-free amount obtained by removing 5 yen as a consumption tax from 105 yen To output the number of pachinko balls.

  Then, from the game balance displayed on the balance display (same as the game balance stored in the card table of the RAM 328b), 420 yen or 105 yen, which includes the tax used for pachinko ball lending, is used. A new game with subtraction update and subtracting and updating 420 yen or 105 yen, which includes the tax, from the game balance data in the card table and the game balance data stored in the member card or visitor card being accepted. After the game balance is updated to identifiable game balance data, the management computer 100 is given a device ID that is uniquely assigned to the card unit 3, and the (member) card ID of the member card or visitor card that is being accepted. And a lending completion notification including the tax-included amount of 420 yen or 105 yen. By another 100 in association with the (membership) card ID to subtraction update the amount of 該税 inclusive from the balance for a game that has been stored in the membership card table or visitor card table.

  Then, as in the case described above, it is determined whether the card being received is a visitor card and the game balance is 0. If the card is a visitor card and the game balance is 0, the card is collected. By transmitting a permission request to the management computer 100, upon receiving the above-mentioned “collection permission” or “non-collection” reply, holding or collecting the visitor card, the lending process is terminated and Sb2- Return to the standby state of Sb12.

  Further, in the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12 described above, when the player inserts cash (banknote) from the banknote insertion slot 302, the currency identification information associated with the insertion of the cash (banknote) is controlled from the banknote identification unit 321. By outputting to the unit 328, the control unit 328 determines that there is acceptance of cash in the step of Sb4, proceeds to the step of Sb22, and performs an issue / payment process (not shown).

  In this issuance / payment process, first, the amount of money inserted is specified from the input money identification information, and it is determined whether or not there is a member card or visitor card accepted by the card reader / writer 327. To do.

  If it is determined that there is no member card or visitor card being accepted, the control unit 328 moves the visitor card stored in the card storage unit to the card slot, and reads the card ID of the visitor card. Then, an issuance request including the read card ID, the inserted amount, and the device ID of the card unit 3 is transmitted to the management computer 100.

  In response to the reception of the issuance request, the management computer 100 determines whether or not the card ID included in the received issuance request exists in the visitor card table, and if it exists, the visitor corresponding to the card ID. While updating the “status” of the card table to “in use”, the received input amount is stored as “remaining amount” as the remaining amount for gaming, while the unit management table corresponding to the device ID included in the received issuance request “Status” is updated to “Accepting”, and the received card ID is stored in “Accepting card ID”, and then “Issuance permission” is returned to the card unit 3 that is the transmission source of the issue request. If the received card ID does not exist in the visitor card table, “Issuance impossible” is returned.

  In response to the receipt of the “issue permission”, the card unit 3 writes and stores the remaining amount for gaming corresponding to the inserted amount in the visitor card moved to the card slot, and stores the card ID of the visitor card in the card table. The game remaining amount corresponding to the input amount is stored, and the game remaining amount is displayed on the remaining amount display, and then the issue / payment processing is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12.

  In addition, when “Issuance is impossible” is received from the management computer 100 and when no visitor card is stored in the card storage unit, the cash (banknote) inserted from the banknote insertion slot 302 is returned and An error notification process for lighting the function lamp 301 in a predetermined error notification mode is performed until the error state is eliminated, thereby informing the occurrence of an error.

  On the other hand, if there is a member card or a visitor card being accepted at the time of cash (banknote) insertion, the input amount specified above is stored in the member card or visitor card being received and the card table. After adding the game balance specified from the game balance data and updating each game balance data after adding the game balance data to the identifiable game balance data, the deposit amount (input amount) ) And the device ID of the card unit 3 and the (member) card ID of the member card or visitor card being received are transmitted to the management computer 100, and the member card table of the management computer 100 is sent. Alternatively, the deposit is made to the game balance stored in the visitor card table corresponding to the (member) card ID. The amount to be added update.

  Then, the remaining amount for gaming displayed on the remaining amount display is updated and displayed as a new amount after the addition update, the deposit process is terminated, and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12.

  Further, when the player operates the return button in the above-described standby state of Sb2 to Sb12, a signal from the return button 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 Sb23, and performs a return process (not shown).

  In this return process, first, it is determined whether or not there is a member card or visitor card being accepted by the card reader / writer 327, and if it does not exist, the operation is invalidated. Further, it is determined whether or not the number of balls already counted exists.

  In this determination, if it is determined that the number of balls already counted does not exist, a discharge instruction is output to the card reader / writer 327 so that the member card or visitor card being received by the card reader / writer 327 is inserted into the card The management computer confirms that the membership card or the visitor card has been returned by sending a card return notice including the (member) card ID and the device ID to the management computer 100 while discharging it from the mouth 309 and returning it. After notifying 100, the card table is reset and the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12 is returned.

  Upon receipt of this card return notification, the management computer 100 updates the “status” of the unit management table corresponding to the device ID included in the received card return notification to “standby”, and the “accepting card ID” Delete the data.

  When these returned cards are membership cards, membership game history data including each game information after the membership card counted in the membership game information table is inserted is transmitted to the management computer 100. Thus, the game history including the game information is stored in the member-specific game history table.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the number of balls already counted is present, the display unit 312 displays a menu for “total payment”, “end payment”, and “cancel”, and whether or not to execute the payment processing. If the player selects whether to perform “all payments” or “handball payments” from the player, and the “cancel” menu is selected, the return process is terminated and the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12 On the other hand, if any of the “all payments” or “end ball adjustments” menu is selected, after the payment process described later shown in FIG. 28 is performed, the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12.

  In this embodiment, in the aforementioned lending process and deposit process, the game balance data stored in the membership card or visitor card is used each time the game balance is used for ball lending or each time the deposit process is performed. By sequentially updating, the membership card and the visitor card are returned without updating the game balance data at the time of the return operation, but the present invention is not limited to this, for example, these game balances Renew the game balance data stored in the card table, that is, the amount displayed on the balance indicator, without updating the game balance data on the membership card or visitor card each time At the time of return, the remaining game data stored in the card table at that time can be specified, and the remaining game data for the visitor card or membership card is stored. And updated and stored as the data may be returned.

  Further, when the player operates the replay button 319 in the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12 described above, the replay operation information is transmitted from the display control board 329 that has detected the operation of the replay button 319 to the control unit. By being input to 328, the control unit 328 determines that the replay button 319 is operated in Sb6, proceeds to Sb24, and performs a replay process (not shown).

  In this replay process, first, it is determined whether or not the player is a member based on whether or not the member ID is stored in the card table. If the member ID is not stored (if the player is not a member) ) Ends the replay process and returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12. On the other hand, if the member ID is stored (if the player is a member), the password stored in the RAM 328b is stored. It is determined whether or not the collated flag indicating the presence / absence of collation is “1” indicating that collation has been completed. If the flag is not “1” (if collation has not been performed), a numeric keypad for accepting a password, etc. A password acceptance screen (not shown) including is displayed on the display unit 312 to accept the password.

  Then, a saving ball number output request including the personal identification number received on the personal identification number acceptance screen, the device ID, and the member ID stored in the card table is transmitted to the management computer 100.

  In response to receiving the saving ball number output request, the management computer 100 outputs the PIN number stored in correspondence with the member ID included in the saving ball number output request received in the member information table and the received saving ball number output. The number of savings balls stored in the member card table (FIG. 9 (a)) corresponding to the member ID is output on the condition that the PIN number included in the request is matched and the matching is matched. A reply is made to the card unit 3 that sent the request. If the passwords do not match, a verification error is returned, indicating that the passwords do not match, and the replay process is terminated.

  The number of saving balls acquired from the management computer 100 in this way is stored in the card table and the collated flag is updated to “1” indicating that collation has been completed.

  After setting “1” in the verified flag in this way, or after confirming that “1” is set in the verified flag, the number of stored balls stored in the card table is displayed on the display unit 312. The number of saved balls is notified to the member player.

  However, as the displayed number of saving balls, when the lending rate set for the card unit 3 is 1 yen / ball, the number of saving balls acquired from the management computer 100 is displayed. When the lending rate set for unit 3 is 4 yen / ball, in addition to the number of saving balls acquired from the management computer 100, the number of saving balls acquired as the actual available rate-converted saving balls Is the value obtained by dividing by the rental rate of 4 yen / ball.

  Then, the number of saving balls (the rate converted saving ball number when the rate converted saving ball number is displayed) is the replay unit number set in the replay, specifically 125 balls in this embodiment, It is determined whether or not there are 135 balls or more, which is the total number of 10 balls as a play fee, and if there are no savings balls (rate conversion savings balls) more than the number of replay units, replay is After displaying a message indicating that it is impossible on the display unit 312, the replay process is ended and the process returns to the standby state of Sb <b> 2 to Sb <b> 12. Is displayed, the replay display unit 320 (LED 320a) is turned on to notify the member that the operation of the replay button 319 is effective, and the replay button 319 is displayed on the display control board 329. By sending a request for displaying a message prompting the work, after displaying a message prompting operation of the replay button 319 on the display unit 312, the operation waits for the replay button 319.

  If there is no operation of the replay button 319 within a predetermined time, the replay processing is ended and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12, while the replay button 319 is operated within the predetermined time. In this case, when the set lending rate is 1 yen / ball, the number of replay units (135 balls) is subtracted from the number of stored balls stored in the card table and updated. When the lending rate is 4 yen / ball, 540 balls obtained by multiplying 135 balls, which is the number of replay units, by 4 are subtracted from the number of balls stored in the card table, and the replay display unit 320 is updated. After turning off (LED 320a), a replay ball lending process 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, by sending a replay completion notice including the device ID of the card unit 3, the member ID stored in the card table, and the subtraction number subtracted from the number of saving balls to the management computer 100, After subtracting and updating the subtraction number from the number of stored balls corresponding to the member ID in the member card table of the management computer 100, the replay process is terminated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12.

  In the present embodiment, the form of collecting the replay fee without fail in this replay is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the visitor card will acquire the number of balls acquired once on the day. For the membership card, the number of savings earned on the business day is managed separately from the past number of savings so that it can be used for free games again. When the number of balls is used for another game, the replay unit number (125 balls) that does not include the above fee may be subtracted from the number of saved balls.

  In addition, when the player operates the payout button 413 in the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12 described above, the control unit 328 indicates that there is a payout button operation in Sb7 by inputting an operation signal based on the operation. The process proceeds to Sb25, and a payout process (not shown) is performed.

  In this payout process, the control unit 328 first determines whether or not the counted number of balls is present, and if the counted number of balls does not exist, the process is invalidated and the process is terminated. Is present, it is determined whether or not the counted number of balls is equal to or greater than a predetermined payout unit number (100 in this embodiment).

  If the counted number of balls is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of payout units, the ball cutting payout unit 340 is instructed to pay out the payout unit number (100 balls) to the guide tube 341 and the number of payout units. (100 balls) is subtracted and updated from the counted number of balls, and when the counted number of balls is less than a predetermined payout unit number, for example, 70 balls, the payout of 70 balls, which is the total number of counted balls, is performed. The ball cutting / dispensing unit 340 is instructed to cause the guide tube 341 to pay out all the counted balls, and after updating the counted balls to “0”, the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12.

  Further, in the above-described standby state of Sb2 to Sb12, as shown in FIG. 26 (a), the player performs an input operation on the “total payment” or “end ball adjustment” menu displayed on the display unit 312. In such a case, the control unit 328 is configured such that the control unit 328 receives the total adjustment menu or the end ball adjustment menu operation information from the display control board 329 that has detected the operation of the “total adjustment” or “end adjustment” menu. Determines that there is a settlement operation in Sb9, proceeds to Sb26, and performs the settlement process shown in FIG.

  Although not shown in FIG. 18, the control unit 328 determines whether or not there is a counted number of balls when shifting to the settlement process, and proceeds to the settlement process only when the counted number of balls exists. If there is no counted number of balls, the settlement operation is invalidated and the process returns to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12.

  In this checkout process, the control unit 328 first determines whether or not the processing type selected by the player is a tail card checkout and the receiving card is a visitor card (Sd1).

  If it is end-teller payment and a visitor card is being received, the process proceeds to Sd30, and after performing end-end return processing to return the extra number of ends (end-end) by exchanging with special prizes, Sd2 On the other hand, if it is not the end ball settlement (total settlement) and if the accepted card is not a visitor card but a membership card, the process proceeds to Sd2 without performing the end ball return process of Sd30.

  Specifically, in this end ball return processing, the end ball is calculated by calculating the remainder when the number of balls already counted is divided by the number of special prize unit balls required for exchange with special prizes stored in advance. The specified end ball is instructed to the ball cutting / dispensing unit 340 and returned to the corresponding hitting ball supply tray (upper plate) 23 of the pachinko machine 2 via the guide tube 341, and the returned end Update the number of balls by subtracting from the number of balls already counted.

  In addition, as the special prize unit number of balls excluding the counted number of balls, when the lending rate set in the card unit 3 is 1 yen / ball, the special prize unit number of balls is used as it is. When the loan rate is 4 yen / ball, the number of special prize unit balls divided by 4 yen / ball, which is the loan rate, is used.

  In Sd2, the control unit 328 determines the number of adjusted balls (the number of balls counted after subtraction of the end balls or the number of balls counted when there is no end subtraction) based on the setting information stored in the EEPROM 328c. Among the lottery settings included in the setting information, it is determined whether or not the type (member, visitor) of the player is equal to or higher than the lowest lottery threshold corresponding to the lottery target.

  If the determination is not equal to or greater than the lottery threshold value, the process proceeds to Sd20, and the display of the in-process screen including the display of “in process of settlement” is started on the display unit 312. Then, the process proceeds to Sd11 and the card return notification transmission process is performed. I do.

  In this card return notification transmission processing, a member card or a visitor is sent to the management computer 100 by transmitting a card return notification including the returned (member) card ID, the number of adjustment balls (acquired balls), and the device ID. Notifying the management computer 100 that the card has been returned to update the member card table, visitor card table, and unit management table, and outputting a discharge instruction to the card reader / writer 327, thereby accepting the card reader / writer 327. After the member card or visitor card inside is ejected from the card insertion slot 309 and returned (Sd12), the card ejection guide “Please take out the card” is displayed on the display unit 312 for a predetermined time, Reset the table and return to the standby state of Sb2 to Sb12

  Note that the management computer 100 updates the member card table, the visitor card table, and the unit management table in response to receiving the card return notification.

  Specifically, when the card return notification includes a member card ID, the number of stored balls in the member card table corresponding to the member card ID is added to the number of settlement balls included in the received card return notification ( (Acquired number of balls) is added and updated, the “status” of the unit management table corresponding to the device ID included in the received card return notification is updated to “standby”, and the member card ID is changed from “accepting card ID”. Is deleted.

  In addition, when the member card ID is included in these card return notifications, the member game history data is transmitted in the same manner as in the case of the return processing described above, so that the game history including the game information is the member The information is stored in the member-specific game history table in association with the member ID specified from the card ID.

  If the card return notification includes a card ID, and the visitor card table corresponding to the card ID has an acquired number of balls corresponding to the business date of the day, the acquired number of balls If the number of adjusted balls (acquired balls) included in the received card return notification is updated, and if there are no acquired balls corresponding to the business date of the day, the number of adjusted balls (acquired balls) The date of the day is stored in the number of balls acquired and the acquisition date, and the “status” of the unit management table corresponding to the device ID included in the received card return notification is updated to “standby”. The card ID is deleted from “.

  On the other hand, if it is equal to or greater than the lottery threshold in the determination of Sd2, the process proceeds to Sd3, and as shown in FIG. 26 (b), the display unit 312 displays a product selection request acceptance screen for accepting whether or not to select a winning product. And a selected product selection request acceptance process for accepting execution / non-execution of product selection from the player.

  Then, the process proceeds to Sd4 to determine whether or not a selection request has been received in the selected product selection request reception process. If there is a selection request, that is, if “Yes” is selected, Sd40, Sd41, and Sd42 are set. Proceeding, starting the display of the processing screen including the product name display selected in the selected product selection acceptance process, the selected product selection acceptance process, and after performing the selected product target lottery process, while moving to the step of Sd7, When there is no selection request, that is, when “No” is selected, the process proceeds to Sd5, the display of the processing screen shown in FIG. 26 (e) is started, and after the lottery process of Sd6 is performed, the process of Sd7 Move to the step.

  First, the selection product selection request acceptance process of the present embodiment in Sd40 will be described. In the selection product selection request acceptance process, the control unit 328 determines that the lottery threshold is the number of adjustment balls in all lottery settings included in the setting information. In the following lottery, all the product IDs of the products set as winning products are specified, and the winning product name and product icon shown in FIG. And a winning product selection receiving page having a strip-shaped winning product list including a “selection” input unit that receives the selection of the product is generated and output to the display control board 329 in the same manner as the order receiving process of Sb28 described later. Thus, the corresponding selected product selection acceptance page is displayed on the display unit 312 and any one of the selected products, for example, among the products with the specified product IDs, for example, As shown in FIG. 26 (c) accepting a selection of the "ice coffee".

  Then, after accepting these winning products, the process proceeds to Sd41, and as shown in FIG. 26 (d), processing including “Ice coffee” which is the product name of the selected winning product and “during lottery / settlement processing” After starting the display of the screen, the process proceeds to Sd42, and among the lottery settings in which the selected “ice coffee” is set as the privilege product, all lotteries satisfying the lottery threshold and the lottery target condition are sequentially performed. To go.

  Specifically, as illustrated in the card unit setting screen of FIG. 14, all lotteries with lottery settings in which “WM02” which is the product ID of iced coffee is specified in the submenu of the winning product are specified, and the specified From among the lotteries, the lottery threshold is equal to or less than the number of settlement balls, and the lottery target condition matches the player type (member, visitor), and the lottery for each selected lottery setting is selected. The steps are sequentially performed according to the winning probability set in the lottery setting (Sd6).

  As these lotteries, for example, when the winning probability is set as exemplified in the card unit setting screen of FIG. 14 and the number of payout balls is 7500 balls, 100 from 0 to 99 In the lottery table in which the numbers are arranged, only two numerical values to be won are selected and set, and when a value arbitrarily selected from the lottery table matches the numerical value to be won, it is determined as winning. A lottery is carried out to win with a probability of 50.

  If the number of balls to be settled is 2500 balls, only one value will be won. If the number of balls to be settled is 12500 balls, the number to be won is 10 and even one of these lotteries. In the case of winning, even if there is a corresponding lottery setting that has not been drawn, the lottery is terminated.

  In addition, in the lottery process of Sd6, all lotteries satisfying the lottery threshold and the lottery target among the set lottery settings are sequentially carried out in the same manner as the lottery in Sd42 described above, regardless of the privileged product. To go.

  Then, after these Sd6 lottery or Sb42 lottery is completed, the process proceeds to Sd7 to determine whether or not it has been won, and if it has not been won, the process proceeds to Sd50 and "non-winning" is confirmed. , Go to Sd11.

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the winning is determined in Sd7, the process proceeds to Sd8, and an upper limit number confirmation process is performed to determine whether or not the winning exceeds the winning upper limit number of the entire game hall. To do.

  Specifically, in the upper limit number confirmation process, after transmitting an upper limit number confirmation request including the device ID of the card unit 3 and the (member) card ID to the management computer 100, the process proceeds to Sd9.

  In response to the reception of the upper limit number confirmation request, the management computer 100 stores today's date as the winning date of the winning history table when the card ID included in the received upper limit number confirmation request is a member card ID. The number of winning histories that have been won, that is, the number of today's winnings is totaled, and whether or not the total number of today's winnings is within the range of the total number of game hall winnings set on the card unit setting screen of FIG. If it is within the range of the maximum number of winnings, “OK” is returned to the card unit 3 that is the sender of the request for confirming the maximum number of times. "NG" is returned to the card unit 3 that is the transmission source of the upper limit number confirmation request.

  That is, the management computer 100 according to the first embodiment performs grant condition establishment information output processing on the current day (1 day) based on the current winning history stored in the winning history table and grants the product. The number of winnings of the entire game hall that is the number of product grants performed is totaled, and the management computer 100 forms the product grant count totaling means of the present invention.

  On the other hand, if the card ID is not a member card ID, the value of the winning flag in the visitor card table corresponding to the card ID is specified, and if the value of the corresponding flag is “1”, that is, it has already been won. If there is a winning product to be used, “confirmation NG” is returned to the card unit 3 that is the sender of the upper limit number confirmation request, and the value of the corresponding selection flag is “0”, Check whether the number of winnings counted today in the history table is within the range of the maximum number of winnings for the entire game hall, and if it is within the range of the number of winnings, the confirmation OK is sent. Reply to the original card unit 3.

  In response to the reply, the card unit 3 (control unit 328) determines whether or not the received confirmation response is “confirmation OK” in Sd9, and if it is “confirmation OK”, the process proceeds to Sd10 and is selected. On the other hand, if it is “confirmation NG”, the process proceeds to Sd50 to confirm the non-winning.

  And it progresses to Sd11 and performs the card | curd return notification transmission process from which processing content differs in winning and non-winning.

  When winning is confirmed in Sd10, in the card return notification transmission processing, the management computer 100 is notified of the product ID of the selected winning product, the (member) card ID to be returned, the number of payment balls (the number of balls acquired). In addition to updating the membership card table, visitor card table, and unit management table, the winning history table is updated by sending a card return notification including the device ID, as well as the card return notification transmission process described above, and a discharge instruction Is output to the card reader / writer 327, and the member card or visitor card being received by the card reader / writer 327 is ejected from the card insertion slot 309 and returned (Sd12), as shown in FIG. 26 (f). In response to the winning of "Congratulations on winning, please take the card." After displaying for a predetermined time on the display unit 312 of the card discharge guide, to reset the card table, the processing returns to the standby state in Sb2～Sb12.

It is also possible to accept a selection from among the products of the product ID stored in the item of additional product in the display job table corresponding to the displayed job ID, and provide the received product.

  In the above embodiment, the establishment of the transmission condition and the establishment of the advance notification condition are detected in the card unit 3 by transmitting the transmission condition data to each card unit 3 in advance. However, the management computer 100, which is a management device, determines whether the transmission condition is satisfied or the advance notification condition is satisfied, in the member information table information, the member-specific game history table information, the card management table It may be detected based on the information, or the establishment of these transmission conditions and the establishment of the prior notification conditions are installed in a device other than the management computer 100, such as the hall computer 130, amusement islands, etc. Detection may be performed at a relay terminal or the like that relays communication between the card unit 3 and the management computer 100. In this case, the establishment of the transmission condition and the establishment of the prior notification condition are transmitted to the card unit 3 (information display device) corresponding to the pachinko machine 2 in which the player who established the condition is playing, The card unit 3 (information display device) displays on the display unit 312 that the product is provided as a privilege based on the reception, and outputs processing for causing the salesperson to recognize that the product is provided as a privilege. To implement.

  Further, in the embodiment, by including the provision type in the order information, the additional product selection information, and the privilege use order information, the salesperson can recognize the product provision type (sales or privilege) in the wagon service terminal 150, Also in the card unit 3, the display of different candidate product list pages (sales) and acceptance content pages (privileges) is continuously displayed even when the products are provided, so that the product provision type (sales Or sales) can be recognized by the salesperson, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the order information, additional product selection information, and benefit use order information that do not include the provision type are transmitted, and the wagon is transmitted. The service terminal 150 is configured such that the information on the provision type is not displayed, so that the provision type is specified for the first time when the salesperson brings the product. On the contrary, the candidate product list page (sales) and the acceptance content page (privileges) may be configured with the same configuration, or when offering products, these candidate product list pages (sales) By terminating the display of the acceptance content page (privilege), the salesperson may recognize the product provision type (sales or privilege) only at the wagon service terminal 150.

  That is, when ordering by sales using the same hardware (card unit 3, communication unit 334), as in the case of transmitting order information, additional product selection information, or privilege use order information that does not include the above-described provision type. As for the process of outputting exactly the same contents at the time of ordering with the benefit, the product is provided as the benefit by displaying on the display unit 312 different screens (pages) at the time of ordering with the sale and the ordering with the privilege. It is possible to make the salesperson recognize the fact that it corresponds to the output processing of the present invention, and it is the same as when order information including provision type, additional product selection information and privilege use order information is transmitted. The process of outputting different contents (information included) using the hardware (the card unit 3 and the communication unit 334) corresponds to the output process of the present invention.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the display of the candidate product list page (sales) and the acceptance content page (privilege) is transmitted from the management computer 100 based on the acceptance of the “complete” selection input in the wagon service terminal 150. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The display of the candidate product list page (sales) and the acceptance content page (privilege) is terminated, for example. It may be ended by a selection input by the salesperson of the display end menu in the display unit 312 of the card unit 3, or may be ended by a display end operation of a remote control possessed by the salesperson.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the form which provides goods which become a privilege to a player is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, These goods which become such a privilege are said goods The discount may be provided at a unit price that is lower than the regular unit price, and the concept of “providing as a privilege” in the present invention includes provision by these discounted unit prices.

  In addition, “sales” in the present invention exemplifies transactions for providing merchandise by exchanging with pachinko balls that are game media, but the present invention is not limited to this, Also included are transactions that provide merchandise by exchanging money, visitor cards, and membership cards for the remainder of the game, and transactions that provide merchandise by exchanging with the number of saved balls instead of actual pachinko balls. In addition, in the case where goods are provided by exchanging with these game balances, the card unit 3 has an amount corresponding to the number of balls as the product price from the game card remaining on the accepted visitor card or member card, In the case where goods are provided by exchanging with the number of savings balls in the same manner as the ball lending process, the product price is calculated from the number of savings of the member card being accepted in the card unit 3 in the same manner as the replay process. The number of balls is subtracted.

  In addition, when providing products by exchanging visitor cards or membership cards for the remainder of the game, or when providing products by exchanging with the number of savings balls, the provision type is “Prepaid Sales” or “Saving Balls”. By adding “sales” to “sales” and “privileges”, the wagon service terminal 150 displays these provision types as a list of new orders, so that the product price by collecting balls as the product price It is only necessary to prevent double collection.

  Moreover, in the said Example, by satisfy | filling provision conditions in accepting the membership card which is a recording medium, it is matched with the member ID of the membership card under acceptance, and the goods of the goods added by satisfying provision conditions Although the form which memorize | stores ID in a member information table as an offerable product is illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, and provision conditions in the state which does not receive these member cards (a visitor card may be sufficient) If the provision condition is satisfied, the membership card is accepted and the product ID is registered in the item of the provisionable product in the member information table corresponding to the member ID of the membership card. It may be possible to specify from the membership card that the provision conditions have been met, and after the provision conditions are met, the membership card or visitor card can be Give, by storing the product ID to the associative membered card (visitor card) may be possible to specify that the provided condition is satisfied from the membership card (visitor card).

  Further, in the embodiment, after accepting the product selection on the order acceptance page, the selection input part of “Order” displayed below the order acceptance page is selected, and the candidate product list page is displayed on the display unit 312. After confirming the order contents, the order information is transmitted to the management computer 100 by selecting and inputting the “to order” selection input section of the candidate product list page. However, the order information of the product may be transmitted to the management computer 100 in response to the acceptance of the product selection operation on the order acceptance page.

  In the embodiment, the order information, the additional product selection information, and the privilege use order information are transmitted to the wagon service terminal 150 via the management computer 100. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the order information, additional product selection information, and privilege use order information may be transmitted directly from the card unit 3 to the wagon service terminal 150.

  Moreover, in the said Example, it is set as the number of savings balls converted into the ball lending rate of 1 yen, and the number of savings balls is used in the replay according to the lending rate set for each card unit 3 In the card unit 3 where the number of savings is set to 1 yen / ball, the number is 4 times as long as the number is converted. / Although it can be used also in the card unit 3 for which the lending rate of balls is set, the present invention is not limited to this, and the lending rate of 1 yen / ball is set for the number of these stored balls. Acquired and saved by the pachinko machine 2 corresponding to the card unit 3 set with the number of 1 yen saving balls acquired and saved by the pachinko machine 2 corresponding to the card unit 3 and the lending rate of 4 yen / ball 4 yen saving ball Can be used for replay only in the card unit 3 where the lending rate of 1 yen / ball is set, and the 4 yen saving ball number is 41 yen / ball lending rate. The card unit 3 that has been set may be used for replay only.

  Moreover, in the said Example, although the number of acquired balls which the member player acquired is all added to the number of stored balls, this invention is not limited to this, These acquired balls are used for a visitor card. As at the time of acceptance, it is managed separately from the number of saved balls on that day, so that the number of balls earned can also be reused in other card units 3 without requiring a fee for member players. May be.

  Moreover, in the said Example, when a salesperson brings the ordered goods, it grasps | ascertains the number of balls which should be collected and collects the pachinko ball itself, but this invention is limited to this. Instead, the number of balls to be collected may be subtracted and updated from the number of saved balls of the member player in response to the provision confirmation operation in the card unit 3.

  In addition, in the above embodiment, even when there is no remaining amount for games and the number of acquired balls, even if there are grant products that are not offered by winning the lottery, the visitor card is returned, In this case, due to the loss of the remaining amount for games and the number of balls earned, the visitor card is collected or the player misunderstands that the card is useless, and the returned visitor card is forgotten. When returning the visitor card when there is no remaining offer for the game and the number of acquired balls, and there is a granted product that has been won by lottery and has not been provided, The display unit 312 indicates that the returned visitor card is necessary to receive the offer, so that the returned visitor card cannot be forgotten.
