Description

  The present invention counts numerical information representing the progress of the game after the transition to the disadvantageous state, including a disadvantageous state that is a disadvantageous gaming state for the player and an advantageous state that is advantageous for the player. The count value can be cleared in accordance with a predetermined operation performed by the game hall side when the store is closed among a plurality of gaming machines that are shifted to the advantageous state on the condition that the count value that is a value has reached a predetermined value. The present invention relates to a game hall management system for a plurality of gaming machines including one gaming machine and a second gaming machine that does not have an operation means for clearing the count value.

Some conventional slot machines shift to a gaming state advantageous to the player when the number of games after bonus reaches a predetermined number of games (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
JP 2007-215605 A

  For this reason, there is a player who checks the number of games from the number of games at the time of closing to the game state advantageous to the player and uses it for opening around the next business day. In addition, depending on the model, the game number is recounted from “0” or started from a gaming state advantageous to the player in accordance with a predetermined operation (for example, an operation for changing a set value). Some players select a gaming machine at the time of opening a store by taking advantage of the characteristics of each model.

  However, there are a plurality of types of gaming machines installed in the amusement arcade, and because of the fact that switching of models is frequently performed, it is a gaming machine in which the count value is cleared by performing a predetermined operation. It is difficult to figure out if there is. As a result, it is difficult to know which gaming machine should be paid attention when performing operations such as changing the setting value, and it takes extra time and gives the player an unexpected disadvantage. There was a thing.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and the object thereof is a gaming machine that requires attention to clear the count value when performing an operation such as changing a setting value for each gaming machine. An object of the present invention is to provide a management system for a game hall that makes it possible to easily determine whether or not.

  Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 schematically shows the overall configuration of a game hall management system. In the game hall management system 1, a plurality of slot machines 2 (game machines in the present invention) are installed in the game hall, and a lending device 3 and an information display device 4 are installed corresponding to each slot machine 2. Has been. These slot machine 2, lending device 3 and information display device 4 are connected to a relay device 5. Also, the management device 6 (game model storage means, display means, remaining count value calculation means, customer change determination means, initial game count means, initial game data storage means, stationary aim determination means, change aim determination means in the present invention) Is connected to the relay device 5 via the LAN 7. Although not shown, pachinko machines, counting devices, etc. are also installed in the game hall. A player borrows a medal from the lending device 3 and plays a game in the slot machine 2.

  The slot machine 2 includes a display window for the player to visually recognize the symbols on the reel, a liquid crystal display unit for displaying various information such as the payout progress of medals during the bonus game, a lamp unit composed of various lamps, A speaker that outputs sound effects, a MAXBET button for inserting a credit medal, a credit settlement button for settlement of a credit medal, a medal slot for inserting a medal, a start lever for starting a game, and a rotating reel are stopped. 3 stop buttons, a payout number display section for displaying the number of payout medals, a credit display section for displaying the number of credit medals, a medal payout exit for receiving medals, and a medal paid out from the medal payout exit A saucer or the like is provided.

  The slot machine 2 performs an internal lottery when a series of game start operations are performed, that is, when the player operates the start lever with a medal inserted into the medal slot or with a credit medal inserted by operating the MAXBET button. The reels are started, and each reel is stopped according to the operation of the stop button, and one game is finished. The slot machine 2 has six stages of set values having different winning lottery probabilities, and an internal winning combination lottery table corresponding to one set value set on the game hall side among the six stages of set values is used. Determine the winning combination (internal lottery). Specifically, the internal winning combination is determined by comparing the random number acquired from the random number generating unit that generates random numbers “0” to “65535” with the internal winning combination lottery table. The higher the set value (closer to “6”), the more advantageous setting for the player, and the lower the set value (closer to “1”), the more unfavorable setting for the player. It should be noted that the game hall side can change the setting values in six stages by operating the setting change operation means provided in the slot machine 2.

  If the result of the internal lottery is winning, the slot machine 2 establishes an internal winning flag (BB winning flag, RB winning flag, small role flag, replay flag) corresponding to the internal winning combination won by the internal lottery. Based on the internal winning flag, stop control including so-called slip control (retraction control) is performed, and the number of medals corresponding to the winning symbol is paid out from the medal payout opening.

The game signals output from the slot machine 2 to the relay device 5 are as follows.
Out signal: One pulse is output for one inserted medal or one credit medal when the start lever is operated.
Safe signal: One pulse is output every time a medal is paid out or one credit medal is paid out. When the replay winning combination is won, pulses corresponding to the number of medals bet on the game are output.
Game signal: One pulse is output every time a game is started.
BB signal: A level signal is output during the BB game.
RB signal: A level signal is output during the RB game.
A reel signal may be employed instead of the game signal.

  The lending device 3 includes a money insertion slot for a player to insert money, a card insertion slot into which a membership card is inserted, and the like. The information display device 4 includes a game information display unit for displaying various game information, a lamp unit, a call button operated when the player calls an employee, and a game information displayed on the game information display unit by the player. It is configured with a switching button or the like that is operated when switching. The information display device 4 outputs a customer replacement signal when the state in which the out signal or the safe signal is not input continues for 5 minutes after the out signal or the safe signal is input from the slot machine 2.

  When the relay device 5 receives various signals (game signal (out signal, safe signal, game signal, BB signal, RB signal), customer replacement signal) from the slot machine 2, the lending device 3, and the information display device 4, these signals are received. The various signals thus transmitted are transmitted to the management device 6.

  There are a plurality of types of slot machines 2 installed in the game hall in terms of a mode of shifting the gaming state. In this embodiment, three types of models A, B and C will be described.

  FIG. 2 schematically shows a manner in which the gaming state in the slot machine 2 of model A transitions. The slot machine 2 of the model A exhibits two normal states of a normal state 1 and a normal state 2 as a normal state (non-bonus state) that is not a bonus state (big bonus (BB) state and regular bonus (RB) state) As the gaming state, there are three gaming states, a bonus state and two normal states. Normal state 1 is a replay low probability state in which the replay winning probability is low, and normal state 2 is a replay high probability state in which the replay winning probability is higher than in normal state 1. When in the normal state 1, the bonus game is based on the condition that the game has been completed after the BB state has been completed or the game has been completed after the RB state has been completed and the 1000 game has been completed. Transition to the state. When the player is in the normal state 2, the bonus state is entered on condition that the bonus combination is won. When in the bonus state, the process shifts to the normal state 1 on condition that the bonus state ends. The slot machine 2 of the model A is the first gaming machine referred to in the present invention, and when the set value is changed at the time of closing the store, the state changes to the normal state 1 regardless of the gaming state at that time, and the next business At the opening of the day, the player starts the game from the normal state 1.

  FIG. 3 schematically shows an aspect in which the gaming state of the model B slot machine 2 is shifted. The slot machine 2 of the model B exhibits three normal states of a normal state 1, a normal state 2 and a normal state 3 as a normal state (non-bonus state) that is not a bonus state, and a bonus state and three normal states as a gaming state And four gaming states. Normal state 1 is a replay low probability state with a low replay win probability, normal state 2 is a replay high probability state with a higher replay win probability than normal state 1, and normal state 3 is a replay win with normal state 1 Replay low probability state with the same probability. In the present embodiment, the win probability of the replay in the normal state 1 is equal to the win probability of the replay in the normal state 3, but the normal state 1 has the same win probability in the replay as the normal state 2. The replay high probability state may be used, that is, the winning probability of the replay in the normal state 1 and the winning probability of the replay in the normal state 2 may be equal. Further, the normal state 1 may have a lower replay win probability than the normal state 2 and a higher replay win probability than the normal state 3.

  When in the normal state 1, the player moves to the normal state 2 on the condition that the bell is won (the predetermined advantageous condition referred to in the present invention is satisfied), and the cherry is awarded (the predetermined disadvantageous condition referred to in the present invention is satisfied). To the normal state 3 on the condition, and to the bonus state on the condition that the bonus combination is won. When in the normal state 2, the game shifts to the normal state 1 on condition that 30 games have been consumed, and shifts to the bonus state on condition that the bonus combination is won. When in the normal state 3, the process shifts to the normal state 1 on the condition that 200 games have been consumed, and shifts to the bonus state on the condition that the bonus combination is won. When in the bonus state, the process shifts to the normal state 1 on condition that the bonus state ends. The slot machine 2 of the model B is the first gaming machine referred to in the present invention, and when the set value is changed at the time of closing the store, the state changes to the normal state 1 regardless of the gaming state at that time, and the next business At the opening of the day, the player starts the game from the normal state 1.

  FIG. 4 schematically shows a state in which the gaming state in the model C slot machine 2 is shifted. The slot machine 2 of model C presents two normal states, a normal state 1 and a normal state 2, as a normal state (non-bonus state) that is not a bonus state, and there are three gaming states: a bonus state and two normal states. Presents a gaming state. Normal state 1 is a replay low probability state in which the replay winning probability is low, and normal state 2 is a replay high probability state in which the replay winning probability is higher than in normal state 1. When in the normal state 1, the process shifts to the normal state 2 on the condition that the 800 games have been consumed after the bonus is completed, and shifts to the bonus state on the condition that the bonus combination is won. When the player is in the normal state 2, the bonus state is entered on condition that the bonus combination is won. When in the bonus state, the process shifts to the normal state 1 on condition that the bonus state ends. The slot machine 2 of the model C is a second game model that is different from the model A and the model B, which are the first game models in the present invention, and even if the set value is changed when the store is closed, The game state at that time is continued without changing the state, and when in the normal state 1, the number of start times required to change from the normal state 1 to the normal state 2 is continued.

  The management device 6 is installed in, for example, an office room in a game hall. When the various signals transmitted from the slot machine 2, the lending device 3, and the information display device 4 are received via the relay device 5, the management device 6 Based on the signal, the closing game data and the first game data are totaled and stored.

  FIG. 5 shows an example of store closing game data stored in the management device 6, and includes “stand number”, “model”, “classification”, “S”, “final B”, “remaining S”, Each item of “ceiling 1”, “ceiling 2”, “game state”, and “after change” is set. The meaning of each item is as follows.

  “Category”: Indicates whether the game state is changed or not changed when the set value is changed. “A” is a model whose gaming state is changed when the set value is changed, and is a ceiling type model that shifts to another gaming state when the number of games digested after the bonus ends reaches a predetermined number of games. is there. “B” is a model in which the game state is changed when the set value is changed. After the bonus is over, the game state is changed to the initial state, the game state is changed in accordance with the established pattern in the initial state, and the number of games digested. Is a cycle type model that shifts to an initial state when the number of games reaches a predetermined number. “Z” is a model in which the gaming state is not changed even when the set value is changed, but the ceiling type shifts to another gaming state when the number of games digested after the bonus ends reaches a predetermined number of games. It is a model of.

  “S”: indicates the number of start times after shifting to a predetermined gaming state. For model A slot machines, the number of starts after transition to normal state 1, for model B slot machines, the number of starts after transition to normal state 2 or normal state 3, and for model C slot machines, to normal state 1 The number of starts after the transition.

“Final B”: Indicates the type of bonus combination that was won most recently.
“Remaining S”: Indicates the number of remaining games up to the ceiling. In the case of a ceiling type model, calculation is performed based on the values of “final B”, “ceiling 1”, and “ceiling 2”.

“Ceiling 1”, “Ceiling 2”: Values entered by the game hall manager.
“Game state”: Indicates the game state when the store is closed.
“S” described above is calculated based on “final B”, “ceiling 1”, and “ceiling 2” in the case of a ceiling type model. For the slot machine 2 of the machine type “221” which is the ceiling type “model A”, since “final B” is “BB”, “remaining S” is “1200” which is the value of “ceiling 1”. It is calculated as “91” obtained by subtracting “1109” which is the value of “S”. For the slot machine 2 of the machine number “281” which is the ceiling type “model C”, since “final B” is “BB”, “remaining S” is “800” which is the value of “ceiling 1”. It is calculated as “761” obtained by subtracting “39” which is the value of “S”. On the other hand, in the case of a periodic type model, the calculation is based on “ceiling 1”, “ceiling 2”, and “game state”. For the slot machine 2 with the cycle number “model B” of the machine number “251”, since the “gaming state” is the normal state 3, “remaining S” is “200”, which is the value of “ceiling 1”. It is calculated as “11” obtained by subtracting “189” which is the value of “S”.
“After change”: Indicates a gaming state to be shifted to when the set value is changed.

  On the game side, there is a merit that the profit can be increased by changing the set value when the “remaining S” is a small value, while the “remaining S” is set when the “remaining S” is a small value. If the value is changed, there is a demerit that disappoints the expectation of the player who plays immediately after opening the store while knowing that the “remaining S” is a small value. Further, when the number of start times since the opening of the store exceeds the “remaining S”, the player is notified that the set value has been changed. Therefore, it is possible to determine whether or not to change the set value based on the value of “remaining S” in the closing data after grasping such advantages and disadvantages.

The management device 6 displays the closing game data and the first game data for each model.
FIG. 6 shows closing game data for the slot machine 2 of model A. In FIG. 6, each item of “table number”, “remaining S”, “S”, “final B”, and “game state” corresponds to each item described in FIG. The management device 6 displays “remaining S” in different colors according to the value and also displays “gaming state” in different colors, so that the number of games required to shift from the normal state 1 to the normal state 2 and the game state at the time of closing the store are displayed. Are clearly displayed in association with each other. For example, the range of “1” to “200” is displayed in red, the range of “201” to “400” is displayed in orange, the range of “401” to “600” is displayed in yellow, and “601” to “601” The range is displayed in normal color. For example, the normal state 1 is displayed in a normal color, and the normal state 2 is displayed in a light blue color.

  FIG. 7 shows initial game data for the slot machine 2 of model A. In FIG. 7, the meanings of the items of “stand number”, “start time”, “end time”, “end S”, “remaining S”, “game state”, “change”, and “deferred aim” are as follows: It is.

“Start time”: indicates the time at which the first player started playing from the time of opening.
“End time”: indicates the time when the first player has finished playing the game since the opening.
“End S”: indicates the number of times the first player has played since the store opened. “Remaining S”: Corresponds to “Remaining S” in the game data when the store is closed.

“Game state”: Corresponds to the “game state” in the game data when the store is closed.
“Change”: indicates whether or not the set value has been changed when the store is closed.
“Fixed Aim”: The setting has not been changed after grasping whether the game state at the closing of the previous business day, whether it is staying in an advantageous gaming state from the end S, or shifting to an advantageous gaming state a little later This is a determination for grasping how many players are coming from the next business day opening. The determination result of whether or not the player has started the game while knowing that the value of “remaining S” is small (low) is shown. When “change” is “present” and the number of games of “finished S” is smaller than a value obtained by adding a predetermined number of games (for example, “30”) to the number of games of “remaining S”, When the number of games in “normal state 2” and “finished S” is smaller than a predetermined number of games (for example, “5”), it is determined that the player has aimed for deferment, and in other cases, the player Decides that it did not aim at deferment. When “change” is “none”, it is not determined whether or not the player has aimed at stationary.

  For the slot machine 2 with the serial number “221”, the management device 6 has “changed” as “present”, and “98”, which is the number of games in “finished S”, is the number of games in “remaining S”. Since it is smaller than the value obtained by adding “30”, which is the predetermined number of games, to “91”, it is determined that the player has aimed at stationary. For the slot machine 2 with the machine number “226”, the management device 6 has “changed” as “present”, “gaming state” as “normal state 2”, and “the number of games in“ finished S ”. Since “1” is smaller than “5”, which is the predetermined number of games, it is determined that the player has aimed at stationary. For the slot machine 2 with the machine number “224”, the management device 6 has “changed” as “present”, but “34”, which is the number of games in “finished S”, is the number of games in “remaining S”. Since it is not smaller than the value obtained by adding “30”, which is the predetermined number of games, to “275”, it is determined that the player did not aim for stationary. The management device 6 does not determine whether or not the player did not aim for stationary because the “change” is “none” for the slot machines 2 with the serial numbers “222”, “223”, and “225”. .

  FIG. 8 shows closing game data for the model B slot machine 2. In FIG. 8, each item of “table number”, “remaining S”, “S”, “final B”, and “game state” corresponds to each item described in FIG. Also in this case, the management device 6 displays the “remaining S” by color according to the value and also displays the “game state” by color, so that it is necessary to shift from the normal state 2 or the normal state 3 to the normal state 1. The number of games and the game state at the time of closing are clearly displayed in association with each other. For example, the range from “1” to “20” is displayed in red, and the range from “20” to “20” is displayed in a normal color. For example, normal state 3 is displayed in a normal color, and normal state 1 and normal state 2 are displayed in light blue.

FIG. 9 shows initial game data for the slot machine 2 of model B. The meaning of the item “target change” in FIG. 9 is as follows.
“Aim for change”: In the slot machine 2 of the model B, when the set value is changed, the state shifts to the normal state 1. In other words, if the set value is changed, it becomes an advantageous state (first advantageous state) from the time of opening of the store, and a further advantageous state (second advantageous state) is achieved by winning the bell before the cherry wins. Further, the player can predict that the setting value has been changed, and can also predict that the setting value has been changed to a higher setting value when the setting value on the previous business day seems to have been low. On the other hand, if Cherry wins first, it will shift to a disadvantaged state. This is a determination for grasping how many players try to select a gaming machine from the time of opening of the store on the day using the characteristics of the gaming machine. Specifically, when the game state is the normal state 1, the normal state that is a disadvantageous game state for the player before winning the bell, which is an opportunity to shift to the normal state 2 that is an advantageous game state for the player When a player wins a cherry, which is an opportunity to shift to 3, and finishes the game within five games after winning the cherry, it is determined that the player has aimed for change. If the player ends the game without winning the bell or cherry, or if the player does not end the game despite winning the cherry before the bell wins, the player will aim for change Judge that there was no. If the player wins the bell before winning the cherry, it is not determined whether or not the player has aimed for the change.

  The management device 6 wins the cherry before winning the bell when the gaming state is the normal state 1 for the slot machines 2 with the serial numbers “251”, “252”, “254”, “255”, Since the player has finished the game within 5 games after winning the cherry, it is determined that the player has aimed for the change. Since the management device 6 won the bell before winning the cherry for the slot machine 2 with the serial number “253”, the management device 6 does not determine whether or not the player has aimed for the change.

  Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 shows processing performed by the model A slot machine 2, FIG. 11 shows processing performed by the model B slot machine 2, FIG. 12 shows processing performed by the model C slot machine 2, and FIG. 6 shows the processing to be performed, and these processing will be sequentially described below.

(1) Process Performed by Slot Machine 2 of Model A The slot machine 2 of model A determines whether or not an operation for changing the set value has been performed (A1). Here, when the slot machine 2 of the model A determines that an operation for changing the set value has been performed (A1: YES), the ceiling counter is set to “0” (A2), and the set value is changed (A3). ), The initial flag is set to “1” (A4), and the normal state 2 flag is set to “0” to shift the gaming state to the normal state 1 (A5), and whether or not the game start operation has been performed. (A6). On the other hand, if the slot machine 2 of model A determines that the operation for changing the set value has not been performed (A1: NO), the set value is not changed without setting the ceiling counter to “0”. It is determined whether or not a game start operation has been performed without setting the initial flag to “1” and without changing the gaming state (A6).

Next, when it is determined that the game start operation has been performed in response to the player operating the start lever (A6: YES), the slot machine 2 of model A performs a lottery process for determining the internal winning combination (A7). ), Reel rotation start processing for starting reel rotation (A8),
The ceiling counter is decremented ("1" is subtracted) (A9) on the condition that the ceiling counter at that time is "1" or more. Next, the slot machine 2 of model A performs a reel rotation stop process for stopping the rotation of the reel (A10), performs a winning determination process for determining whether or not the internal winning combination is won (A11), and performs the winning process. Perform (A12).

  Next, the slot machine 2 of the model A determines whether or not the end condition for the BB state is satisfied (A13) and determines whether or not the end condition for the RB state is satisfied (A14). Here, when it is determined that the gaming state is the BB state and the end condition for the BB state is satisfied (A13: YES), the slot machine 2 of the model A ends the BB state (A15) and sets the ceiling counter to “1200. "(A16). Then, the slot machine 2 of the model A shifts the gaming state to the normal state 1 by setting the normal state 2 flag to “0” (A17). Further, when it is determined that the gaming state is the RB state and the termination condition for the RB state is satisfied (A14: YES), the slot machine 2 of the model A ends the RB state (A18) and sets the ceiling counter to “1000”. (A19). In this case, the slot machine 2 of model A also shifts the gaming state to the normal state 1 by setting the normal state 2 flag to “0” (A17).

  Next, the slot machine 2 of model A sets the initial flag to “0” (A20), determines whether the initial flag is set to “0” (A21), and sets the initial flag to “0”. If it is determined that it is set (A21: YES), it is determined whether or not the ceiling counter is “0” (A22). When the slot machine 2 of model A determines that the ceiling counter is “0” (A22: YES), the game state is shifted to the normal state 2 by setting the normal state 2 flag to “1” ( A23), a series of processing ends. If the slot machine 2 of model A determines that the initial flag is not set to “0” (A21: NO) or determines that the ceiling counter is not “0” (A22: NO), the gaming state is shifted. A series of processing is ended without doing.

(2) Processing Performed by Model B Slot Machine 2 The model B slot machine 2 determines whether or not an operation for changing the set value has been performed (B1). If the slot machine 2 of model B determines that an operation for changing the set value has been performed (B1: YES), the ceiling counter is set to “0” (B2), and the set value is changed (B3). ) By setting the normal state 2 flag to “0” and setting the normal state 3 flag to “0”, the game state is shifted to the normal state 1 (B4), and whether or not the game start operation has been performed. Is determined (B5). On the other hand, if the slot machine 2 of model B determines that the operation for changing the set value has not been performed (B1: NO), the set value is not changed without setting the ceiling counter to “0”. It is determined whether or not a game start operation has been performed without shifting the gaming state (B5).
