Description

  The present invention relates to a game hall management system configured to allow a game hall manager or the like to check game information that can be specified by a game signal output from a gaming machine side.

  The manager of the game hall performs so-called nail adjustment in order to adjust the payout rate of the pachinko gaming machine installed in the game hall. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that adjustment information, which is game information for nail adjustment, is stored in a portable terminal, and a game hall administrator who performs nail adjustment carries adjustment information when performing nail adjustment by carrying the portable terminal. It has been proposed to be able to browse. However, when performing nail adjustments, the game hall manager must carry adjustment tools such as hammers and gauges to make nail adjustments, and when carrying a portable terminal, the carrying tool However, there is a problem that it is bulky and the convenience is lowered. In addition, when an adjustment result, which is a result of performing the nail adjustment, is input via the portable terminal, there is also a problem that the adjustment result must be input by changing the adjustment tool and the portable terminal. On the other hand, for example, Patent Document 2 proposes to display adjustment information on a display terminal for a player provided corresponding to a game machine such as a so-called calling lamp.

JP-A-5-245266 JP-A-10-263190

  In the configuration in which the adjustment information is displayed on the display terminal for the player as disclosed in Patent Document 2, it is possible to reduce the tools carried by the administrator of the game hall that performs the nail adjustment. However, if the manager of the amusement hall tries to make a nail adjustment with other employees nearby, the adjustment information will be viewed by other employees for gaming machines that are not making nail adjustments. There is a risk that fraud may occur by employees who have viewed the adjustment information. In this case, it is considered that the above-mentioned problem can be avoided by performing authentication by the game hall manager when browsing the adjustment information. However, in the configuration in which authentication by the game hall manager is performed for each gaming machine, it is still possible. The problem of reduced convenience remains.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and its purpose is to provide convenience while sufficiently considering security problems when a game manager or the like confirms game information. An object of the present invention is to provide a management system for a game arcade that can be improved.

The invention described in claim 1 is a receiving means for receiving a game signal that can specify game information output from the gaming machine side, and a game information for specifying game information based on the game signal received by the receiving means. The identification means, the game information storage means for storing the game information identified by the game information identification means in units of gaming machines, and the game hall staff can be worn and the game hall staff wears the wearing Retina scanning means for performing retina scanning processing for projecting an image onto the retina of the game hall staff, retina reading means for performing retina reading processing for reading video displayed on the retina of the game hall staff, and the image read identifiable gaming machine specifying information machine in a state in which visually by the retina reading means by image recognition, and image recognition means for identifying a gaming machine game hall attendant is visually The video game arcade attendant game information of the game machine identified to be visually by recognizing unit, or transmitting information the game information is visualized by the image information of the gaming information stored by serial game information storage unit Wireless transmission means for wirelessly transmitting to the retinal scanning means, and an image identified by the transmission information of the gaming machine identified as being viewed by a game hall attendant, as a projection target by the retinal scanning processing And a projection target specifying means for performing the projection target specifying process.

In the invention described in claim 2 , the gaming machine is a pachinko gaming machine, and a nail adjustment value that is an input value corresponding to a content of a pachinko gaming machine nail adjustment by the game hall staff, and the nail adjustment value And setting means for associating and setting the input operation performed by the game hall staff, and nail adjustment value storage means for storing the nail adjustment value in association with the game information of the gaming machine for which the nail adjustment has been performed. The wireless transmission means is associated with the game information of the gaming machine identified as being viewed by a game hall attendant and the nail adjustment value stored in association with the gaming information of the gaming machine. The transmission information is transmitted so that a video can be specified, and the projection target specifying unit displays a video in which the game information of the gaming machine specified by the transmission information is associated with the nail adjustment value. Corresponds to the gaming machine identified by the field staff The projection target specifying process to be a projection target by the retinal scanning process is performed as an image, and the nail adjustment value storage means sets an image corresponding to the gaming machine specified as being viewed by the game hall staff as a projection target. When the input operation set by the setting unit is recognized by the video recognition unit while the retinal scanning process is being performed, the nail adjustment value corresponding to the recognized input operation is set to the game. It is characterized by being stored in association with game information of the machine.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, the setting means associates the nail adjustment value with the input operation based on an adjustment tool used when a game hall staff adjusts a nail of a pachinko gaming machine. It has a feature in setting.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the retinal scanning means can be operated by switching the operation mode between the closed mode and the sales mode, and is operating in the sales mode when operating in the closed mode. It is characterized in that it projects an image that cannot be projected at any time.

The invention described in claim 5 includes retinal storage means for storing an image of the retina of a game hall staff, and the retinal scanning means is stored in the retinal storage means and the image read by the retinal reading means. It is characterized in that the operation mode is switched between the closing mode and the sales mode by collating with the retina video of the game hall staff.

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the retinal scanning means can be worn by a game hall clerk, and the game information specified by the game information identification means is retinal scanned in a state where the game hall clerk is wearing the retinal scanning means. Thus, the game information can be confirmed without holding the retinal scanning means while the game machine is being adjusted or the customer is being served. In this case, since the retinal scanning means projects an image on the retina of the game hall staff wearing the retinal scanning means, the game hall staff not wearing the retinal scanning means do not visually observe the video, There is no risk of game information leaking, and no security problems will occur.
In addition, when the game hall staff looks at the gaming machine identification information that can identify the gaming machine, the video read by the retina reading means is recognized and the gaming machine is identified, so a separate operation is performed to identify the gaming machine. The troublesome manual operation of the means can be eliminated. Of course, it is not necessary to provide operation means for manual operation by the game hall staff. Furthermore, it is possible to extract and display (project) only game information that the game hall staff wants to grasp in a limited information display (projection) area called retinal scanning.

According to the invention described in claim 2 , when the game staff member inputs the nail adjustment value, it is troublesome to manually operate the operation means, that is, when the game staff member performs nail adjustment of the pachinko gaming machine. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the troublesome operation of changing the adjustment tool to the operating means. In addition, since the nail adjustment value is also subject to projection, it is possible to adjust the nail of the pachinko game machine while knowing the adjustment situation made by the game hall staff in the past, and check the nail adjustment value according to the input operation By doing so, it can be confirmed whether or not the input operation is correctly recognized.

According to the invention described in claim 3 , in consideration of using an adjusting device such as a hammer or a gauge when the game hall staff adjusts the nail of the pachinko gaming machine, the adjusting device is used as a reference. The game room staff can input the nail adjustment value while holding the adjusting device, and the convenience can be improved. In addition, when recognizing the input operation of the game hall clerk, for example, based on the hand of the game hall clerk, the possibility of misrecognition increases to recognize a part of clothes that can change depending on the day, The possibility of erroneous recognition can be suppressed as much as possible by using the same object (adjustment tool) that cannot be changed depending on the day as a reference, and the recognition accuracy can be increased.

According to the invention described in claim 4 , since the operation mode is switched between the closing mode and the sales mode and operated, the closing mode in which the game hall staff adjusts the nails of the pachinko gaming machine, that is, the game information The game information in which the opponent who does not want to be confirmed becomes another game hall clerk and the sales mode in which the game hall clerk serves customers, that is, the game information in which the opponent who does not want to check the game information becomes a player are separated. Thus, the retinal scanning means can be widely used according to the application.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the operation mode is switched between the closed mode and the sales mode by authenticating the retina read by the retina reading unit, it is possible to eliminate the necessity of providing a separate verification operation unit. . In addition, since retina authentication can be performed inevitably when game information is projected, it is possible not only to reduce the inconvenience of the operation for performing the matching process, but also to change the operation mode between the closed mode and the sales mode. It is possible to switch between them reliably.

  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. A lending machine 2 and an information display machine 3 are installed in the game hall corresponding to a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as a gaming machine) 1. The two gaming machines 1, the two rental machines 2 and the two information display machines 3 are connected to one relay device 4, and the relay device 4 is installed, for example, in a management room via the LAN 5. It is connected to the management device 6. The management device 6 receives a game signal output from the gaming machine 1 side (the gaming machine 1, the lending machine 2, the information display machine 3, etc.) via the relay device 4. Although omitted in FIG. 1, several hundred gaming machines 1 are managed by the management device 6.

  The gaming machine 1 has a well-known configuration as a so-called digipachi, and an upper tray 7 that receives paid out game balls, a ball that overflows from the upper tray 7 or a ball that is guided from the upper tray 7 by a button operation. 8. A handle 9 for firing the balls of the upper tray 7 onto the board surface is provided. In addition, on the board surface of the gaming machine 1, display is made according to the winnings to the ordinary (ordinary symbol) winning opening 10, the first starting opening 11, the second starting opening 12, the first starting opening 11 or the second starting opening 12. There are provided a liquid crystal display unit 13 whose symbols change, a big winning opening 14 which is opened when a big hit occurs when the symbol displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 13 is a big hit symbol, and the like.

The gaming machine 1 operates as follows.
(1) A jackpot lottery is performed in accordance with the winning at the first start port 11 or the second start port 12, and the liquid crystal display unit 13 executes symbol variation based on a so-called special symbol (special symbol) based on the lottery result. The jackpot is generated according to the result. Note that the upper limit of so-called holding balls is four each, and when starting and winning a prize during holding, the upper limit is held, and after the symbol change ends, the held symbol variation is executed sequentially.

  (2) The winning probability of the jackpot lottery (probability of jackpot) is 1/310, and the ratio of jackpots that will be in a probabilistic state (probability change) after jackpot is 66.6% (2/3), and the average number of continuations 1 ÷ (1− (2/3)) = 3 times.

  (3) When a big hit occurs, the big winning opening 14 is opened by the amount corresponding to the corresponding round (R) (for 15R). In addition, the upper limit winning number of 1R is 10, the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds, and 1R is ended when either the upper limit winning number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied.

  (4) During the probability change, the jackpot probability is improved to 1/31, and the winning time rate to the second start port 12 is improved. Since the probability change continues until the next jackpot, it continues until a jackpot (ordinary jackpot) that becomes a normal state (normal) after the jackpot occurs. In addition, a state in which the player is more likely to generate a big hit than usual for a player such as a probability change and a short time is referred to as “sweet”.

  The lending machine 2 has a touch panel type liquid crystal display unit 16 having a money insertion slot 15 for a player to insert money, a display function for displaying various information such as game data, and an input reception function for receiving input from the player. , A card insertion slot 17 for the player to insert a member card, a return button (discharge button) 18 that the player operates to eject the member card inserted in the card insertion slot 17, and the player replays A replay button 19 or the like that is operated to receive a ball payout is provided. Further, a ball payout outlet 20 is provided at a position slightly above the upper tray 7 of the gaming machine 1, and a payout nozzle 21 is provided so as to cover the ball payout outlet 20. The game balls are supplied to the upper tray 7 via the dispensing nozzle 21.

  The lending machine 2 is a so-called card type, and internally issues a card corresponding to the accepted money, and in response to pressing of a lending button (not shown) provided in the gaming machine 1, the money corresponding to the issued card (valuable) The lending process is executed by transmitting a lending signal to the gaming machine 1 and lending the ball from the gaming machine 1 in order to lend the ball as value. The lending machine 2 includes a control unit including a CPU, a storage unit including a CF (Compact Flash (registered trademark)), a RAM and a ROM, a transmission / reception unit including an I / F, and the like. To do.

The gaming signal shown below is output from the gaming machine 1 side.
“Out signal”: a signal that can specify the number of used balls (out, the number of used media) output from an out BOX that collects used balls (used media). Since one pulse is output for 10 recovered (used and driven) balls, “the number of out signals × 10” is specified as out. A signal output from the gaming machine 1 may be used.

  “Safe signal”: a signal that can specify the number of payout balls (safe, the number of payout media) output from the gaming machine 1. Since one pulse is output for 10 payouts corresponding to a game (winning) in the gaming machine 1, “safe signal number × 10” is specified as safe. The supply signal output from the supply device may be a safe signal.

  “Start signal”: a signal that can specify the number of symbol fluctuations (number of actuated items, start) output from the gaming machine 1. Since one pulse is output per symbol variation (actual operation, start processing) in the liquid crystal display unit 13 (combined item) that fluctuates (actuates) due to winning at the first starting port 11 or the second starting port 12, “Start signal number × 1” is specified as a start. It should be noted that the start winning signal that is output in response to the winning at the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 may be regarded as a symbol variation and used as a start signal.

  “Big jackpot signal”: a signal that can be output from the gaming machine 1 and that can identify the jackpot. Since the level signal is output during the jackpot, while the jackpot signal is being received is specified as the jackpot signal, the gaming machine 1 is specified as being in the normal state during the period when the jackpot signal is not received. That is, the jackpot signal is a signal that can specify the gaming state of the gaming machine 1.

  “Probability change signal”: a signal that can specify a special state output from the gaming machine 1. Since it is a status signal that is output at a level during a special state that is more likely to generate a big hit such as during probability change where the jackpot probability is improved than in the normal state, while receiving a probability change signal is identified as being in a special state, A period during which the gaming machine 1 is not in the normal state is identified. That is, the probability variation signal is a signal that can specify the gaming state of the gaming machine 1. In addition, not only during the probability change, but also a status signal (time-short signal) that is level-output during the time when the winning rate to the first start port 11 or the second start port 12 is improved.

  “Sales signal”: a signal that can specify sales information (number of sales balls, sales amount) output from the lending machine 2. Since one pulse is output for every 25 balls that are valued as valuable to the player, “sales signal number × 25” is specified as the number of sales balls, and “sales number × lending unit price (eg 4 yen)” "Is specified as the sales amount.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the information display device 3 is provided with a data switching button group 22 including a plurality of data switching buttons and a call button 23, as well as out (vertical axis) and out (safe-out) ( Outlet graph display section that displays the relative relationship with the horizontal axis), a jackpot count display section that displays the number of jackpots, a jackpot breakdown display section that displays the jackpot breakdown, a start display section that displays the start, and various events A liquid crystal display unit 24 including a telop display unit for displaying information and the like is provided, and a number of predetermined digits indicating the machine number (ID) of the corresponding gaming machine 1 is displayed below the liquid crystal display unit 24 (in FIG. 2, “ 1234 "is illustrated as an example), and a machine number seal 25 (corresponding to gaming machine specifying information) is printed. The information display device 3 includes a control unit including a CPU, a storage unit including a CF, a RAM, and a ROM, and a transmission / reception unit including an I / F, and transmits and receives various signals and various information.

The relay device 4 includes a control unit including a CPU, a storage unit including a CF, a RAM, and a ROM, a transmission / reception unit including an I / F, and the like, and transmits / receives (relays) various signals and various information.
The management device 6 includes a control unit (corresponding to a game information specifying unit, a projection target specifying unit, a video recognition unit, and a setting unit) including a CPU, and a storage unit (game information storage unit, nail adjustment value) including an HDD, a RAM, and a ROM. Storage means, equivalent to retinal storage means), I / F transmission / reception unit (equivalent to reception means), wireless communication unit for performing wireless communication with a transmitter / receiver described later, output unit consisting of a monitor, a printer, etc., keyboard And an operation unit composed of a mouse or the like, and by receiving a game signal output from the gaming machine 1 side, the gaming data is individually assigned to the gaming machine 1 (game number) ) It has a function to count and specify every time.

  Now, in the game hall, a game hall manager (game hall staff) can move in the game hall with the glasses-type display 26 (corresponding to the retina scanning means and the retina reading means) attached. The glasses-type display 26 is a so-called glasses-type retinal scanning display. As shown in FIG. 3, the glasses-type main body 29 in which the left and right lenses 27 and the frame 28 are assembled is attached to a RID (Retinal Imaging Display). A main body 30 is attached and configured. The RID main body 30 includes a light projecting unit and an imaging unit, and is wired to a transceiver 32 (corresponding to a wireless transmission unit) via a harness 31 including a video signal line and a power supply line.

  The RID main body 30 has a brightness that is safe even if an image input from the transmitter / receiver 32 via the harness 31 is placed in the retina of the game manager wearing the glasses-type display 26 from the light projecting unit. By projecting the image directly onto the retina using the afterimage effect of moving the light at high speed, the video game projected on the retina is recognized visually by the game hall manager, while The captured video is read (captured) by the imaging unit, and the read video is output to the transceiver 32 via the harness 31. Since the glasses-type display device 26 configured as described above is a transmissive display, the RID image can be seen superimposed on the actual field of view, and the image can not be seen by others, and confidentiality can be achieved. It has the advantage that can be secured. In addition, there is an advantage that a large screen can be seen while the glasses are compact.

  The transceiver 32 includes an antenna unit 33, an operation unit 34, a liquid crystal display unit 35, and the like, and can transmit and receive various types of information to and from the management device 6 wirelessly via the antenna unit 33. It is also possible to transmit an operation signal corresponding to the operation to the management device 6. The transmitter / receiver 32 has a size that can be carried by a manager of a game hall by putting it in a pocket of clothes. In addition, the frequency band of a signal wirelessly communicated between the management device 6 and the transceiver 32 is different from the frequency band of a transmission signal transmitted from a well-known employee remote control carried by an employee of the game hall. .

  As is well known, the management device 6 uses game signals output from the gaming machine 1 as game data for each business day (corresponding to a unit period) as raw data shown in FIG. 4 and game information total data shown in FIG. Identify and manage on a per-game machine basis. The meaning of each item in the raw data shown in FIG. 4 and the game information total data shown in FIG. 5 is as follows.

  “Out”: Number of balls (game media) used in the game (number of used media). “B out” is an out (the number of normal use media) during a period in which the gaming machine 1 is in a normal gaming state (normal period), and “sweet out” is when the gaming machine 1 is in a special state (special period, Amaka) “T1 out” is an out (number of medium used for jackpot) during a period in which the gaming machine 1 is in a jackpot state (medium jackpot).

  “Safe”: the number of balls (game media) paid out by the game (number of payout media). “B safe” is safe for a normal period, “sweet safe” is safe for a special period, and “T1 safe” is safe for jackpot.

“Start”: “Start” is the number of symbol fluctuations (normal start number) in the normal period, and “Sweet start” is the number of symbol fluctuations (special start number) in the special period.
“Big jackpot”: “Normal jackpot” is the number of jackpots that occurred in a normal period (so-called first hit), and “all jackpot” is the number of jackpots that occurred in all periods (number of jackpots).

“Sales balls”: The number of borrowed balls (game media) for which money was paid (sales were generated).
“Risk rate”: Calculated using the formula “safe ÷ out”. “Base” is the rate of appearance during the normal period and is calculated using the formula “B Safe ÷ B Out”. “BA” is the rate of appearance during the special period and is calculated as “Ama Safe ÷ Sweet Out”. Obtained by the formula.

  “Average S”: Average start (average number of normal starts) with respect to unit out (number of unit used media = 1000) in a normal period, and is calculated by an arithmetic expression of “start ÷ B out × unit out”. “SA” is an average S (average number of special starts) during a special period, and is obtained by an arithmetic expression of “sweet start ÷ sweet out × unit out”.

  “BY” is the rate of payout during the normal period excluding the payout due to the start winning associated with the symbol variation, “base-average S ÷ unit out × start winning ball = (B safe−start × start winning ball) ÷ It is obtained by the arithmetic expression “B out”. The start prize ball is calculated as “3 balls”.

“B” is a difference ball during a normal period, and is obtained by an arithmetic expression “B out-B safe”.
“T1O”: average out during jackpot (average number of medium used per jackpot), and is determined by an arithmetic expression of “T1 out ÷ total jackpot”.

“T1Y”: Average number of hits during jackpots, and is calculated by the formula “(T1 safe−T1 out) ÷ total jackpots”.
“Sales”: The value of the loaned ball, which is calculated by the formula “sales ball × lending unit price”. The lending unit price is calculated as “4 yen”.
“Gross profit”: Profit on the amusement hall side in accordance with the operation of the gaming machine 1, and is obtained by an arithmetic expression “sales amount− (sales amount + safe−out) × exchange unit price”. The exchange unit price is calculated as “3 yen”.

  Further, the management device 6 aggregates the game data aggregated as the raw data shown in FIG. 4 and the game information aggregated data shown in FIG. 5 for each gaming machine on a business day basis, and the daily data shown in FIG. Identify. Here, with respect to the business day when the game hall manager made the nail adjustment, the game information is associated with the nail adjustment as the input value. For the nail adjustment, any one of “life nail”, “big prize opening”, “general map” and “other” can be input. As shown in FIG. 4, the actual nail adjustment position of the gaming machine 1 is corresponded, and “other” corresponds to a position not corresponding to any of them. “↑” or “↓” associated with the adjustment location indicates the degree of adjustment of the adjustment location, and if the adjustment is sweet for the player, “↑” is entered, while the adjustment is difficult for the player. If you do, enter “↓”. In FIG. 6, for example, the nail that makes sweetness for the player for “others” was made on August 1 and the nail that makes sweetness for the player for “life nails” on August 3 This is an example. FIG. 8 shows an example of a form in which game information extracted as adjustment information among game information aggregated over a plurality of business days in units of gaming machines as shown in FIG. 6 is output in a list format for a plurality of gaming machines 1. . These game information can be output by display or printing. In FIG. 8, “*” shown for the 2nd and 6th units is actually a numerical value but is omitted.

  Further, the management device 6 stores the nail adjustment and the input operation performed by the game hall manager in association with each other. That is, the management device 6 recognizes an image of an input operation performed by the manager of the game hall wearing the glasses-type display device 26 with the target nail adjustment selected on the setting screen (not shown). Thus, it is possible to set the input operation and nail adjustment performed by the manager of the game hall in association with each other. Here, the input operation is set on the basis of the hammer 35 and the gauge 36 which are adjustment tools used when the game hall administrator performs the nail adjustment, and the rotation of the adjustment tool is associated with the “life nail”. The vertical movement of the adjusting device is associated with “big prize opening”, the horizontal movement of the adjusting device is associated with “common”, and the V-shaped movement is associated with “other”. Also, the adjustment tool is the hammer 35 and is associated with “↑” which is a sweet adjustment for the player, and the adjustment tool is the gauge 36 and is associated with “↓” which is a difficult adjustment for the player. .

  That is, for example, as shown in FIG. 9A, if the manager of the game hall rotates the hammer 35, the adjustment tool is rotated so that it is associated with the “life nail” and the adjustment tool is used for the hammer 35. Therefore, by associating with “↑”, the nail adjustment is associated with “life nail ↑”. Similarly, for example, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), if the manager of the game hall rotates the gauge 36, the adjustment tool is rotated so that it is associated with the “life nail” and the adjustment tool is Since it is 36, associating with “↓” associates that the nail adjustment is “life nail ↓”. The same applies to FIGS. 9C to 9F.

  If the input operation is set in association with the nail adjustment, it is not limited to the illustrated operation, but any operation may be targeted. However, in order to facilitate video recognition, the adjustment tool is used as a reference as described above. Further, it is desirable to set and set a certain rule. In other words, if the adjustment tool is not used as a reference, for example, a game manager's hand is used as a reference, there is an increased possibility of misrecognizing a part of clothes that can be changed depending on the day. However, if the adjustment tool is used as a reference as illustrated, the same object that cannot be changed depending on the day will be used as a reference, so the possibility of erroneous recognition can be suppressed as much as possible, and its recognition accuracy is increased. Because it can.

  Next, as an operation of the above-described configuration, a case where a game hall manager performs nail adjustment by wearing the glasses-type display 26 will be described below. The manager of the game hall moves to the front of the gaming machine 1 (nail adjustment base) to be subjected to nail adjustment, and looks at the machine number sticker of the information display machine 3 corresponding to the gaming machine 1. When the game hall manager looks at the machine number sticker, a predetermined number of digits printed on the machine number sticker 23 appear in the retina of the game hall manager. At this time, the glasses-type display device 26 reads (captures) a predetermined number of digits in the retina of the game hall manager by the imaging unit of the RID body 30, and the transceiver 32 captures the image of the RID body 30. The image read by the unit is wirelessly transmitted to the management device 6.

  When the management device 6 receives the video transmitted from the transmitter / receiver 32, the management device 6 recognizes the received video as a numerical value, that is, the machine number of the gaming machine 1 for which the manager of the game hall is to adjust the nail. 8 is extracted, and an image obtained by extracting only the part corresponding to the identified machine number among the adjustment information forms for the plurality of gaming machines shown in FIG.

When the transmitter / receiver 32 receives the video transmitted from the management device 6, the transmitter / receiver 32 outputs the received video to the glasses-type display 26 via the harness 31.
As described above, the video input from the projector is applied to the retina of the manager of the game hall wearing the glasses-type display 26 from the light projecting unit with light of a safe brightness, and the light is applied at high speed. Using the afterimage effect of moving, the image is projected directly on the retina. As a result, as shown in FIG. 10, the manager of the game hall wearing the glasses-type display 26 can see the adjustment information only for the nail adjustment table while looking at the surface of the nail adjustment table. (In FIG. 10, the case where the nail adjustment base is “first base” is illustrated). In addition, since it is not necessary to hold a form of adjustment information in the hand, both hands are left free, that is, as shown in FIG. 10, the adjustment tool is held in the right hand and the adjustment tool is set in the left hand. Adjustment information can be viewed while holding, and nail adjustment can be easily performed. The image projected on the retina is displayed in a translucent manner so as not to unnecessarily obstruct the view of the game hall manager.

  Next, the game hall administrator performs the nail adjustment while simultaneously viewing the adjustment information for only the nail adjustment table and the actual surface of the nail adjustment table in this way, and then performs one of the input operations described above. Check the corresponding adjustment device. When an administrator of the game hall performs an input operation while gazing at the adjusting device, the input operation is reflected on the retina. At this time, the glasses-type display 26 is input on the retina of the administrator of the game hall. The operation is read by the imaging unit of the RID main body 30, and the transceiver 32 transmits the video read by the imaging unit of the RID main body 30 to the management device 6 wirelessly.

  When the management device 6 receives the video transmitted from the transceiver 32, the management device 6 recognizes the received video to identify the input operation performed by the game hall administrator, and inputs corresponding to the identified input operation. The value is specified, and the nail adjustment column in the adjustment information form shown in FIG. 8 is updated. At this time, when the nail adjustment column in the adjustment information form is updated, the image projected by the glasses-type display 26 is also updated.

  If the game hall manager determines that the updated content corresponds to the input operation performed by the game hall manager, the game machine manager ends the nail adjustment of the gaming machine 1 which is the nail adjustment table, and the next gaming machine 1 On the other hand, if it is determined that the updated content does not correspond to the input operation performed by itself, the input operation is repeated until the corresponding input value is reached. In this case, there is a possibility that the input operation may be mistakenly recognized by staring at the adjustment tool during the nail adjustment. However, since the input value can be overwritten to enable input, even if the input operation is mistakenly recognized, the nail A correct input value can be input (registered) by recognizing the input operation after the adjustment. Also, input operations such as “Cancel” and “Confirm” are registered separately, and when “Cancel” is specified, the input value due to incorrect input is canceled, or when “Confirm” is specified, the input value is entered. It may be determined. Note that the adjustment information form shown in FIG. 8 and the image projected on the retina shown in FIG. 9 are displayed after the end of business on August 6 and before the start of business on August 7, FIG. As shown in Fig. 4, the case where adjustment is made so that the life nail becomes sweet for the player is illustrated.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the glasses-type display device 26 that can be worn by a game hall manager and the management device 6 that manages game information are configured to be capable of wireless communication, thereby managing the game hall. Since the game information managed by the management device 6 is projected onto the retina of the game hall manager by the retinal scanning while the player wears the glasses-type display device 26, the game hall manager plays the game machine. The adjustment information necessary for adjusting the nail of the gaming machine 1 can be confirmed while holding the hammer 35 and the gauge 36 which are adjustment tools used when performing the nail adjustment of 1. In addition, an employee who does not wear the glasses-type display device 26 does not see the video, there is no possibility that game information will be leaked, and there will be no security problem.

  When the manager of the game hall visually observes the number sticker 25 of the information display device 3 corresponding to the gaming machine 1 which is a nail adjustment table, the image read by the glasses-type display device 26 is recognized and the nail adjustment table is displayed. Since the gaming machine 1 is specified, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of manually operating the operating means separately to specify the nail adjustment stand. There is no need to provide an operating means.

  In addition, since the manager of the game hall inputs the nail adjustment value using the hammer 35 or the gauge 36 which is an adjustment tool used when adjusting the nail, the convenience can be improved, Since the nail adjustment value is also projected, it is possible to adjust the nail of the gaming machine 1 while grasping the adjustment situation made in the past by the game hall manager, and further, the nail adjustment value input by the input operation Whether or not is correct can be checked as it is.

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
Although only the adjustment information of the nail adjustment table is extracted and projected, adjustment information for a plurality of gaming machines as shown in FIG. 7 may be projected. In this case, it is desirable to project the adjustment table number on the form so that it can be identified.

  Information projected on the glasses-type display is not limited to adjustment information. For example, when a player finishes the game, the employee who carries the acquired ball to the counting machine is equipped with a glasses-type display, the machine number of the gaming machine is identified by video recognition, and the theoretical acquisition managed by the management device The ball (sales ball + safe-out) is projected and grasped, and the theoretically earned ball and the counting ball grasped at the time of counting are made to judge whether the counting ball is appropriate (whether there is fraud), and FIG. The operation of initializing the acquired ball by the input operation shown in (i.e., determining the customer replacement and the starting point of the next player's theoretically acquired ball), cigarettes, etc. In order to let employees who organize the gaming machines in the occupied state placed in the vacant space to grasp the vacant status of the gaming machine (e.g., the elapsed time since it was out of service) May be used. In other words, the present invention may be applied when projecting game information that the player does not want to be known to a player who wants to carry a portable terminal or the like as much as possible with a glasses-type display.

  When the game hall manager described as an embodiment adjusts the nail of the gaming machine, and when the employee judges whether or not the counting ball is appropriate, the vacant space situation, etc., the former is performed while the store is closed. On the other hand, the latter is an operation that is performed during business hours, and since the target background is different between when the store is closed and during business, the closed mode and the sales mode are provided as operation modes, and the operation mode is used depending on the operation mode. You may make it divide (change game information object to project, input operation, etc.). In this case, the operation mode may be switched automatically according to the time by setting a time zone, for example, but it is desirable to switch the operation mode by authentication of the administrator of the game hall. In this case, it is desirable to authenticate the administrator by retinal authentication using an imaging unit. For example, “out” or the like can be both adjustment information and game information for organizing vacancies. That is, if game information that is not output in the sales mode (for example, base) is output in the closed mode, the operation mode may be switched.

As for the nail adjustment, a different part may be important for each game model, so it is desirable to set it for each game model.
Although the input of the table number and the nail adjustment by the glasses-type display is input by reading the image on the retina, it may be input by the operation of the operation unit of the transceiver, for example.
Arbitrary game information may be appropriately selected as the adjustment information. Further, the illustrated numerical values and items are merely examples, and any numerical values and items may be adopted as appropriate. Of course, pachinko gaming machines and slot machines other than those exemplified for the target gaming machine may be adopted.

According to the rules, nail adjustment is allowed only every business day (when closed), so the unit period is a business day. However, the unit period can be set appropriately according to the application, such as every predetermined time, every predetermined number of days, etc. good.
Although the special state or jackpot end determination is performed by the state signal, the determination may be made by collating the payout rate for a predetermined period, the number of symbol fluctuations after the jackpot end, or the like with a preset set value.
Although the probabilistic change and the short time are exemplified as the special state, any special state may be used as long as it is a gaming state in which a big hit is likely to occur than the normal state.
A part or all of information processing (video recognition processing, game information imaging processing, etc.) performed by the management device may be performed by a relay device, a glasses-type display device, or the like.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, 6 is a management device (receiving means, game information specifying means, game information storage means, projection target specifying means, video recognition means, setting means, nail adjustment value storage means, retinal storage means), 26 Is a glasses-type display (retinal scanning means, retinal reading means), and 32 is a transceiver (wireless transmission means).
