Description

  The present invention relates to a game hall system that manages a player's possession balls using a recording medium.

  In the game hall, the start or end of the game of the member player is determined based on the so-called reception status of the member card, and the game history of the player is managed by associating the card ID with the player ID (Patent Literature). 1). As shown in Patent Document 1, the game hall uses a so-called visitor card in addition to the member card to provide a service similar to the member to players other than the member. One of them is a game media counter corresponding to each of the so-called individual counters, which is used for the game media that the player has acquired through the game. By associating with other visitor cards as well, services such as so-called replay are provided. In this case, if the visitor card ID is regarded as the player ID and the game information is managed, not only the number of samples of the game history for each player increases, but also the theoretical holding ball specified from the game history etc. It is thought that it will be possible to broaden its use, such as monitoring fraud by checking the number and the number of balls that are the actual number of balls, but if the visitor card is issued as necessary, it will be lost It is a recording medium that is assumed to be collected, and it is difficult to associate it with a player if convenience is pursued.

  In other words, based on the need to exchange a part of the possession during the game or the need to share it with an acquaintance, the division that issues a part of the possession with a visitor card, leaving the possession to be used later If issue processing is performed, convenience will be improved.

JP 2004-10550 A

However, although the device that performs the issue process is premised on stocking a plurality of visitor cards, in order to simplify the structure, it is configured to issue in order from the latest received card.
Therefore, if some of the balls are issued separately, the accepted visitor card is separated from the balls used for the subsequent game, and the next visitor card is associated with the subsequent game. become. In addition, when a visitor card is replenished during a game, the visitor card is replaced. If the convenience is pursued in this way, there is a problem that if the visitor card ID is regarded as the player ID and the game information is managed, the game information cannot always be managed appropriately.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game hall capable of appropriately managing game information for each player while improving convenience in a system employing a recording medium to be collected. Is to provide a system.

The system for a game hall according to the present invention is provided in correspondence with a game machine and a storage means for storing the number of acquired media, which is the number of game media acquired by the player, and is acquired by the player through a game with the corresponding game machine. A medium issuing unit that performs a counting process for receiving and counting the acquired acquisition medium, and a medium issuing process for issuing a recording medium capable of specifying the number of acquired media stored in the storage unit according to a predetermined issuing operation Means, receiving means for receiving a recording medium capable of specifying the number of acquired media, and updating the number of acquired media stored in the storage means according to the counting process, the medium issuing process, and the receiving process Update means for performing the update processing, the number of rented media that are the number of game media lent to the player from the lending device corresponding to the gaming machine in consideration of the valuable value, and the number of game media paid out by the game A value obtained by subtracting the number of used media, which is the number of game media used by the game, from the sum of the number of paid-out media and specifying the starting point of the theoretically acquired media number representing the theoretically acquired media number A point specifying means, a theoretical medium specifying means for specifying the number of theoretically acquired media from the starting point based on a game signal output from the gaming machine side, and the number of theoretically acquired media specified by the theoretical medium specifying means. A verification process for acquiring and comparing the acquired number of the theoretically acquired media, the number of acquired media stored in the storage unit, and the number of theoretically acquired media managed by the game information managing unit; And a verification means for informing the verification result,
When the medium issuing unit executes the medium issuing process, the number of acquired media stored in the storage unit and the theoretical acquisition medium managed by the game information managing unit for the recording medium to be issued The theoretical medium specifying means manages the theoretical acquisition medium managed by the game information management means by specifying the number of theoretical acquisition media corresponding to the received recording medium in accordance with the receiving process. It is specified as a number or added to the number of theoretically acquired media to be managed (claim 1).

The game system according to claim 1,
The medium issuing means specifies the number of acquisition media to be issued according to an input operation that can specify the number of acquisition media to be issued by the player, and the specified acquisition medium number is stored in the storage means When a part of the number of media, the divided issue process, which is the medium issue process with the acquired number of acquired media as an issue target, is executed, and according to the divided issue process, the recording medium to be issued , The number of acquisition media to be issued is associated as the number of theoretical acquisition media,
The theoretical medium specifying means specifies, as the number of theoretical acquisition media to be issued, the number of acquisition media associated with the recording medium to be issued as the number of theoretical acquisition media according to the divided issue processing, and the game information You may make it subtract from the number of theoretical acquisition media managed by the management means (Claim 2).

In the game room system according to claim 1 or 2,
The gaming machine includes a tray that can store game media paid out by a game, and the verification unit performs a first verification process performed during the medium issuing process as the verification process and a second verification performed at predetermined time intervals. The setting means executes a first tolerance range, which is an tolerance of an error between the number of theoretically acquired media corresponding to the first verification process, and the number of acquired media, and the second verification process. It is possible to set a second allowable range that is a corresponding allowable range of the error, and the second allowable range can be set wider than at least the first allowable range by the number of game media that can be accommodated in the tray. (Claim 3).

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the medium issuing process is executed, the number of theoretically acquired media and the number of actual acquired media are associated with the recording medium. Can be used for verification including the previous one.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the case of divided issue, the actual acquired medium number is subtracted from the theoretical acquired medium number.
According to the invention of claim 3, since it is assumed that the second matching process is performed during the game, the player is executed with the acquisition medium left in the tray of the gaming machine, such as after the end of the jackpot. Probability is high. In this case, the first tolerance range and the second tolerance range can be set, and the second tolerance range can be set wider than the first tolerance range by the number of game media that can be accommodated in the saucer. Verification of the first verification process with a low possibility that the acquisition medium remains in the saucer by setting a wide allowable range to cope with the second verification process that is likely to be executed in a state where the acquisition medium remains. Without unnecessarily reducing the accuracy, the possibility of erroneous detection in the second matching process can be reduced, and the first matching process and the second matching process can be appropriately executed.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the overall configuration of a game hall system. A lending device 2 and each counter counter (terminal unit) 3 are installed corresponding to the gaming machine 1 in the game hall, and a management device 4 is installed in the management room. The relay device 5 is connected to the two gaming machines 1, the two lending devices 2, the two counters 3 and the management device 4. The management device 4 manages the gaming machine 1 by receiving a gaming signal transmitted from the gaming machine side (the gaming machine 1, the lending device 2, each vehicle counter 3 and the like) via the relay device 5. Although omitted in FIG. 1, several hundred gaming machines 1 are actually managed by the management device 4.

  The gaming machine 1 to be managed performs a lottery lottery in response to a game ball fired on the board 7 by operating the operation handle 6 constituting the launching device winning a start opening 8 or 9 (start winning prize). A result is alert | reported by the symbol fluctuation | variation performed in the display part 12, and it will be in a jackpot state according to the fluctuation | variation result. When a big hit occurs, the grand prize opening 13 is opened for 15 rounds (R). The balls paid out by winning are received by the upper tray 10, and the balls overflowing when the upper tray 10 is full are received by the lower tray 11. 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. Further, the gaming machine 1 to be managed in this embodiment is assumed to be a pachinko gaming machine, and a pachinko ball is assumed as a gaming medium. And in this embodiment, the pachinko ball is expressed as a ball or a game ball as required.

The following signals are output from the gaming machine side.
Out signal = a signal that can specify the number of used balls (out) output from an out BOX that collects used balls (corresponding to 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, equivalent to 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. One pulse is output per symbol change (actual action, start processing) in the display section 12 that changes (actuates) by winning at the start port 8 or the start port 9, so start "number of start signals x 1" As specified. A start winning signal that is output in response to a winning at the start port 8 or the start port 9 may be used as the start signal.
Jackpot signal = a signal that can identify the jackpot output from the gaming machine 1. Since it is a status signal that is output at a level during the jackpot, it is determined that the jackpot signal is being received as a jackpot.
Special state signal = a signal that can specify a special state output from the gaming machine 1. Since it is a state signal (probability change signal) that is output in a special state, which is a state where it is easier to generate a big hit such as during a probability change where the jackpot probability is improved than in the normal state, the special state signal being received is identified as being in the special state. It is also possible to use a status signal (time-short signal) that is level-output during the time when the winning rate to the start port 9 is improved.
Sales signal = signal that can specify sales information (number of sales balls (corresponding to the number of rental media) and sales amount) output from the lending device 2. One pulse is output for every 25 balls that are valued at the player's valuable value, so “Number of sales signals × 25” is specified as the number of sales balls, and the number of sales balls × the rental unit price is specified as the sales amount.

The lending device 2 is configured as a so-called CR sand equipped with a control unit composed of a CPU, a storage unit composed of CF (compact flash, registered trademark), RAM, ROM, a transmission / reception unit composed of an I / F, and a display unit. It has the following functions.
(1) When a so-called member card or visitor card in which a unique ID is recorded can be received at the card insertion slot 14 and money is inserted into the money insertion slot 15 in the received state, it is associated with the ID. The value (value) is memorized.
(2) If a predetermined number (about 5) of visitor cards can be stocked and money is received without receiving a membership card or visitor card, the valuable value of money is recorded on the stocked visitor card. , Put the visitor card in the acceptance state.
(3) When a rental button (not shown) provided in the gaming machine 1 is pressed in a state where the valuable value can be specified, the ball is paid out from the payout opening of the gaming machine 1 based on the valuable value and a sales signal is transmitted. .
(4) If a membership card has been received, payout by replay (replay processing) in consideration of stored balls can be performed in response to a pressing operation on the replay button 16, and in this case, a replay ball is lent. As with the balls, the game machine 1 pays out from a payout port (not shown) and transmits a replay signal.
(5) When the press of the return button 17 is accepted in a state where the card is accepted, the accepted card is discharged.
(6) The information display unit 18 can display lending or storage-ball related information, and if predetermined conditions such as receiving a membership card are satisfied, game information and the like regarding various corresponding gaming machines 1 can be displayed.
(7) As a corresponding management device, not only the management device 4 corresponding to each counter 3 but also a management device of a card company (not shown), the management device 4 stores the accumulated balls for each member ID, while valuable The balance corresponding to the value is managed by a card company management device.

  FIG. 2 is a front view of each counter 3. Each counter 3 includes a status display LED 20, a numeric keypad 21, a storage button 22, a liquid crystal display unit 23, an issue button 24 that is lit when issuable, a ball dispensing nozzle 25, a dispensing button 26, and a remote control light receiving unit 27. The ball receiving slot 28 having the peripheral display portion 28a and the saucer portion 29 are configured to receive the game ball that has fallen with the opening of the lower saucer 11 of the gaming machine 1 at the saucer portion 29. Counting is performed by a counting unit disposed in the lower part of the apparatus main body 19. The game balls counted in this way are specified as holding balls (corresponding to the number of acquired media) as will be described later, and an upper tray of the gaming machine 1 from the ball dispensing nozzle 25 by a dispensing operation (pressing the dispensing button 26) by the player. 10 can be paid out, and a coin card (corresponding to a recording medium) composed of an IC card in which the number of coins recorded is recorded. Each counter 3 can stock up to a predetermined number (10) of coin cards. The “C” button 21 a provided on the numeric keypad 21 is a button for clearing a numerical value input by an operation on the numeric keypad 21, and the “certain” button 21 b is a button for confirming the input numerical value.

Each counter 3 includes a control unit (receiving means, medium issuing means, ID issuing means, ID managing means, updating means, game information managing means, counting means, starting point specifying means, theoretical medium specifying means, verification unit comprising a CPU. Equivalent to means: ID issuance means, ID management means, setting means, state determination means), storage unit (corresponding to storage means) consisting of CF, RAM and ROM, and transmission / reception part (reception means) consisting of I / F. In addition, it is connected to the management device 4 and the lending device 2 via the relay device 5 and can transmit and receive various information. Moreover, it has the following functions.
(1) When game balls are counted by the counting unit, a counting timer (2 seconds) is activated, and count information indicating the number of counting balls counted after the time-up of the counting timer is transmitted to the relay device 5. The counting timer is restarted every time counting is performed.
(2) When the payout button 26 is pressed, the counting balls (holding balls) are paid back by one unit (125 balls).
(3) A plurality of possession tickets are stocked in the order of acceptance at the back of the possession ticket insertion slot 28 (stock means), and when the issue button 24 is pressed, Issuing a Jongyoma ticket with the latest order of acceptance. In addition, the information of the coin-to-ball ticket received by accepting the coin-to-ball ticket is specified and stocked. Note that two types of issuance processing are possible as the issuance processing for issuing a coin-to-ball ticket. That is, in the state where the numeric value is not designated by the numeric keypad 21 or the case where all the possessed balls are designated, the entire issue processing in which all the possessed balls are issued in response to pressing of the issue button 26, and the number of retained balls by the numeric keypad 21. In a state where a part of the issue button 26 is designated, there is a split issue process in which the issue target is the ball to be issued in response to the pressing of the issue button 26.
(4) The operation timer (60 seconds) is activated every time an out signal is received. If the operation timer is in operation, the operation timer is in operation.
(5) When a setting signal indicating that the setting information has been updated is received from the management device 4, the corresponding setting information is updated.

FIG. 3 shows the setting information, and the following items are set.
End ball setting value (corresponding to the issuance setting value) = setting value for the holding ball, and the management ID is issued when the holding ball becomes equal to or more than this setting value.
Initialized retained ball value (corresponding to the cancellation setting value) = a setting value for the retained ball, and when the retained ball is equal to or less than this set value, the association of the management ID is canceled (initialized).
+ Error tolerance (corresponding to the first tolerance) = the tolerance on the positive side of the difference between the theoretical holding ball and the holding ball, and when the difference exceeds this set value, a plus error notification is performed.
Real + error tolerance (corresponding to the second tolerance) = refer to instead of the + error tolerance in the error judgment (real error judgment, equivalent to the second verification process) between the theoretical holding ball and the holding ball performed every predetermined time And a value larger than the + error allowable range by the number of balls of the saucer (for example, 100 balls) is set.
-Error tolerance range = The tolerance range on the negative side of the difference between the theoretical holding ball and the holding ball, and when the difference is less than or equal to this set value, a negative error is notified.
Abnormal number of issuances (corresponding to “predetermined allowable number of times”) = the number of allowable issuances for divisional issuance corresponding to the management ID, and abnormality notification processing is performed when shared issuance exceeds this set value.

Each counter 3 has a terminal storage area.
FIG. 4 shows the terminal storage area of each counter, and the following items are set.
Management ID = ID corresponding to the coin card issued by each counter 3, the upper 3 digits are the terminal ID, and the lower 3 digits are the issued ID.
Shared management ID = a management ID issued to a coin-to-ball ticket at the time of divided issuance for issuing some possession balls.
Shared issue = number of divided issues (corresponding to management ID).
Mochitama voucher ID (corresponding to a recording medium ID) = currently accepted or issued issue juggle voucher ID.
Receiving holding balls = the total number of holding balls received in the state where the management ID is issued.
Counting balls = the total number of balls counted. In addition, the counting ball | bowl memorize | stored in the possession ticket received in the state where management ID is not issued is also added.
Payout balls = the total number of balls paid out as consideration, and the number of balls held back. In addition, the payout ball memorize | stored in the possession ticket received in the state in which management ID is not issued is also added.
Divided balls = number of balls issued separately. In addition, the division | segmentation ball | bowl memorize | stored in the possession ticket received in the state where management ID is not issued is also added.
Mochitama = the number of balls the player has (reception ball + count ball-refund ball-divided ball), which is the number of balls that can be issued.
Theoretical holding ball (corresponding to the number of theoretically acquired media) = theoretical holding ball number (the number of received holding balls + the number of sold balls−the number of difference balls−the number of divided balls).
In addition, the theoretical bead stored in the betting coin accepted in the state where the management ID is not issued is also added. Moreover, the number of difference balls = out-safe.

  FIG. 5 shows the holding ticket storage area, and each item of holding ticket ID, management ID, shared issue, acceptance holding ball, counting ball, withdrawal ball, divided ball, holding ball, theoretical holding ball is set. Yes. In each of these items, information on each corresponding item in the terminal storage area of each counter 3 at the time of issuing the coin card is stored.

  Each counter 3 issues a management ID in response to the establishment of the above-mentioned condition (the holding ball is equal to or more than the end ball setting value), but the holding ball has exceeded 0 when the management ID has been issued. When accepting a coin ticket, the management ID is not updated as it is because the possession ticket owned by the player is additionally inserted, and the possession ball of the reception coin card is used as a reception coin in the terminal storage area of FIG. The terminal storage area is updated by adding and storing. On the other hand, if the number of balls in the received coin ticket is 0, the management ID is not updated as stock supplement of the coin card. Therefore, if a coined ball ticket is added or stock supplemented after specifying the management ID, a coin card different from the coined ball ticket when the management ID is specified becomes the management target.

The shared ID (number) is stored in association with the management ID, and when this shared issuance exceeds the number of abnormal issuances in the setting information of FIG. 3, an abnormal signal is transmitted to the management device 4 to the management device 4. Anomaly notification is performed. This anomaly notification allows sharing of possession balls with acquaintances on the amusement hall side, but in order to respond to the need for unacceptable buying and selling of possession balls to non-acquaintance players, There is a meaning to call attention.
When each terminal counter 3 updates the terminal storage area of FIG. 4, the counter counter 3 transmits an update signal that can specify a payout ball, a counting ball, and a management ID.

The relay device 5 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. The game machine 1, each counter 3, and The lending device 2 is connected, and the relay device 5 is also connected to the management device 4 so that various information can be transmitted and received.
The management device 4 includes a control unit including a CPU, a storage unit including an HDD (hard disk device), a RAM, and a ROM, a transmission / reception unit including an I / F, an output unit including a monitor, and a printer. It comes to manage.

The management device 4 manages a known jackpot history by various signals received from the gaming machine side, specifies the corresponding payout ball, counting ball, management ID according to the update signal from each counter 3, It is stored in association with the jackpot history. The jackpot history is managed for each vehicle as shown in FIGS. FIG. 6 shows an example of the first jackpot history, and FIG. 7 shows the second jackpot history, in which the following items are set.
Time = first jackpot occurrence time or game end determination time in the record.
Lending balls = total sales balls and sales balls that generate sales.
Sales = sales corresponding to sales balls (sales balls × unit price for lending (4 yen)).
Out, safe = the number of balls thrown into the gaming machine 1 (the number of balls used) and the number of balls paid out from the gaming machine 1.
S, TY, jackpot = number of symbol fluctuations (start), number of balls from the occurrence of jackpot to returning to the normal state, and the number of jackpots.
Balance = player's balance (counting ball-payout ball) x exchange unit price (3 yen)-sales amount. In addition, when each stand counter 3 is not provided, a theoretical holding ball is adopted instead of (counting ball-refund ball). Also, split balls and reception balls are not included.

The record of the jackpot history is created when the normal status is returned from the jackpot, when the management ID is updated, or when the customer change is determined.
The management device 4 manages the game history of one player by associating records having the same management ID as shown in FIG. 8 during the closing process. In this case, when there is a different management ID between customer turnover determinations (for example, when the management ball is initialized after the management ID is issued, and then the game is continued and a management ID is issued), the management is performed. The history including the ID is specified and provided to the player (email, printing, display output by the lending device 2, etc.) or managed by the administrator.

  In the amusement hall, in addition to the respective counters 3, each of the counters 3, which is not shown, except for the counting function, is provided corresponding to the gaming machine 1. An island edge counter 30 (see FIG. 1) is provided for counting the number of balls acquired by the gaming machine 1 corresponding to the machine.

  The island edge counter 30 also stocks a plurality of possession tickets in the order of acceptance, and can be issued by issuing operation. When issuing, the management ID is issued in the same manner as with each counter 3. In this case, it is also possible for the player to add the counting balls to the acquired ball, and in this case, the management ID of the acquired ball ticket is directly associated.

The island edge counter 30 can also issue a divided issue, and when issuing the divided issue, the management ID is associated with each holding ball ticket, but if the holding ball ticket is received, the management ID of the received holding ball ticket is set. In the case of issuing more coins than the associated coins, the management ID is newly issued.
By issuing a coin-to-ball ticket at the island edge counter 30, even if each machine counter 3 is not associated with the gaming machine 1, The ball can be paid back, and it is not necessary to move the acquired ball in the ball box when moving the table.

  Each stand replay machine has the same function as each stand counter 3 except for the presence or absence of a counting function, such as providing the storage area of FIG. Of course, the information related to the counting ball may or may not store the counting ball of the island edge counter. Update information is received from a terminal such as each counter 3 in accordance with the update of the storage area related to the coin card, and the coin history (not shown) is managed in units of management IDs.

As the possessed ball history, the same information as each item of the setting information in FIG. 3 is managed, and the history information is managed on the condition that the management ID is the same as in FIG. A history record is created when a history creation condition such as an issuance process, a management ID issuance process, or a management ID initialization process is satisfied.
At the time of all issuance processing for issuing all the possession balls, an error determination is performed to determine whether the difference between the theoretical possession ball and the possession ball is within an allowable range (error allowable range of the setting information in FIG. 3) in the management ID unit. Note that the above error determination is not performed at the time of divided issue.

Next, enumerate the conditions for each machine counter 3 to issue (update) the management ID,
(1) Issued in the state where the management ID has not been issued, and when the holding ball becomes the end ball set value or more.
(2) Issued to the split-destination ticket when issued in a split manner.
(3) When the JGB card is accepted in a state where the management ID has not been issued, it is changed to the management ID of the accepted JGB card. In addition, when accepting a coin card with a management ID issued, the issued management ID is used as it is.

In addition, the condition for each counter 3 to initialize the management ID (issued → not issued, corresponding to the starting point) is as follows:
(1) When the holding ball is equal to or less than the initialized holding ball value.
(2) The case where all the issue processing is performed (the holding ball storing the management ID is issued and the holding ball becomes 0).
The conditions for the island edge counter 30 to issue (update) the management ID are as follows:
(1) Issued when issuing a new coin ticket without accepting it. In addition, when adding counting balls in the state of accepting a coin-to-ball ticket, the management ID of the reception coin-card is continuously used as it is.
(2) In the case of split issuance, if there is a reception juggle ticket, it will be issued only to the split destination juggle ticket, otherwise it will be issued to all junior vouchers.
It becomes. On the other hand, the management apparatus 4 determines the customer change in the following case.

(1) When the first sales are generated (sales signal is received) without accepting a coin card after all issuance processing.
(2) In the case of accepting a coin card that is different from the issued coin card without accepting the issued coin card after all issuance processing.

Next, with regard to the operation of the above configuration, the jackpot history of FIGS. 6 and 7, the transition of the terminal storage area shown in FIG. 9, the state change of each counter 3 and the management device 4 shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, FIGS. This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. Each counter 3 initializes the terminal storage area as shown by data (1) in FIG. 9 when the power is turned on.
Each counter 3 repeats the main process and the signal reception process. In the main process shown in FIG. 12, each of the counters 3 determines whether there is a count (A1), whether a possession ticket is accepted (A2), or whether there is a possession (A3).

  When the lower tray 11 of the gaming machine 1 is opened in order to count the game media acquired by the player, the balls received by the tray portion 29 flow into the counting section of each of the counter counters 3. Determines that there is a count (A1: YES), and performs a counting process of counting balls (A8). In the counting process shown in FIG. 13, the counting balls in the terminal storage area of FIG. 4 are added to update the holding balls (B1), and then it is determined whether the management ID has not been issued (B2). The management ID is a ID for managing the possession ticket separately, although the possession ticket ID for identifying the possession ticket is stored in the possession ticket. This management ID is basically issued in association with the coin-to-ball ticket, but when multiple coin-cards are accepted, one management ID is valid, and it corresponds to a different coin-card ID as will be described later. The date may be transferred. In addition, each counter | counter machine 3 is stocked again after reading the possession ticket with the newest reception order among the stocked possession tickets, when performing counting processing.

  Since each management counter 3 has not been issued a management ID (B2: NO), it determines whether the holding ball has exceeded the end ball setting value (= 30) in the setting information of FIG. 3 (B3). When the number of possessed balls exceeds the end ball set value by counting (B3: YES), a management ID is issued (B4), and the possessed coin ticket ID of the stocked possession ticket is read to store the terminal in FIG. After storing in the area and stocking again (B5), a temporary replacement end signal is transmitted to the relay device 5 (B6, see FIG. 10).

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, when a jackpot occurs at 10:35 in the first car, and 1000 balls are counted out of the balls obtained by the jackpot, each car counter 3 is As shown in the data (2), after reading the latest possession ticket ID “0184” that is stocked, it is stocked again. It shows that it became 1000 balls. The reason why the possession cards read by each counter 3 are stocked again in this way is to make it possible to immediately read the inserted possession tickets. Will be.

  Each counter 3 has calculated the theoretical number of balls from the number of sales balls minus the number of difference balls from the start of the game, and the data (2) indicates that the theoretical number of balls at the time of calculation of 1000 balls is 1100 balls. Is shown. Thereby, it is understood that 100 (= 1100-1000) balls are left as remaining balls on the gaming machine side.

  Each counter 3 is not shown in the flowchart, but in the state where the management ID has been issued, error determination for comparing the holding ball with the theoretical holding ball is performed every predetermined time (for example, 1 minute) ( Real error determination) When the error deviates from the real + error allowable range or the −error allowable range in the setting information of FIG. 3, an abnormal signal is transmitted to the relay device 5 and the management device 4 notifies the abnormality. It has become. In addition, when the possession ball becomes 0 during the refund process and the issuance process, the possession ticket storage area of FIG. 4 is initialized (“Management ID and the medium issuance process target” in order to reset the error in error determination). "Corresponding to the cancellation of the association with the recording medium", the management ID is not issued.

  On the other hand, the relay device 5 performs a signal reception process to determine customer turnover. In FIG. 17 showing signal reception processing, whether a customer change end signal has been received (F1), a customer change signal has been received (F2), a sales signal has been received (F3), or a temporary change start signal has been received. (F8) is determined. As described above, when a temporary replacement end signal is received in response to each counter 3 issuing a management ID (F1: YES), the temporary replacement flag is set to 0 (F7). As will be described later, this temporary replacement flag is a flag indicating that the possibility of customer replacement is high because the player has performed all issuing operations for issuing all the possessed balls.

Each counter 3 is in a state where a ball is present (A3: YES), whether the payout button has been pushed down (A4), whether the ball has exceeded the end ball set value (A5), or issuance button 24 It is also determined whether or not is pushed down (A6).
On the other hand, when it is desired to divide and issue part of the number of possessed balls counted by the player, that is, when the possessed balls to be issued are different (partial) from the retained balls in the terminal storage area of FIG. After inputting a numerical value for (corresponding to “input operation capable of specifying the number of acquired media”), the “OK” button 21b is pressed, and then the issue button 24 is pressed.

  In the case of the issue button 24 operation (corresponding to “predetermined operation”) after the “OK” button 21b is operated, each counter 3 is divided issue (corresponding to the medium issue process) in the issue process of FIG. Is determined (E1: YES), the shared management ID is issued (E2), and the divided issue process is executed (E3). In this divided issue processing, the issued shared management ID is stored in the coin card as a management ID. Next, the shared issue in the terminal storage area of FIG. 4 is updated by adding the divided balls (E4), and whether the shared issue of the terminal storage area is equal to or greater than the number of abnormal issues in the setting information of FIG. Determine (E5). Data (3) in FIG. 9 shows a state in which “001002” is assigned as the shared management ID and the divided issue processing for 500 balls is performed. Data (4) in FIG. 9 is read as much as possible for the next issue target. In this case, “00391” is stored as the coin card ID of the coin card, and then all of the coins (= 500 coins) are paid out.

Now, as described above, when all issuance processing is performed after the divided issuance processing, a coined voucher that is different from the coind coin read when the management ID is issued is to be issued. The data (4) in FIG. 9 indicates that the latest possession ticket with the latest possession ticket ID “00391” is to be issued.
Each counter 3 executes a payout process (A10) when the payout button 26 is pressed in a state where there is a ball (A4: YES). In the payout process shown in FIG. 15, after counting out the counting balls (holding balls) for one payout unit (125 balls) (D1), the difference between the counting balls and the payout balls is specified as the holding ball by adding the payout balls. Then, it is updated (D2), and it is determined whether or not the ball has become the initialized ball value (= 0) as a result of the payout of the ball (D3). When the possessed ball reaches the initialized retained ball value (D3: YES), the terminal storage area in FIG. 4 is initialized (D4).

  Here, when the management ID is updated, the jackpot history is stored. The NO. 2 records indicate that the balance is −1500 yen because 500 balls, which are all possessions, are paid out and the exchange rate is 3 yen / piece. The NO. The three records indicate that the same player borrowed a 500-yen loan ball and played a game, resulting in a jackpot and counting 2,000 acquired balls. Thus, since the management ID can issue a new ID even when the same player is playing, a different management ID can be issued to the same player. Data (5) in FIG. 9 shows a state in which all issuance processing has been performed after counting 2000 balls. At this time, the terminal storage area is initialized.

  Each counter 3 stocks a plurality of possession tickets at the back of the insertion slot in the order of acceptance, and when the issue button 24 is pressed (A6: YES), Then, an issue process for issuing a coin ticket whose reception order is the latest is executed (A7). In the issuance process shown in FIG. 16, it is determined whether the issuance is divided (E1). (E1: NO), and it is determined whether the difference between the theoretical holding ball and the holding ball is within an allowable range (the + error allowable range and the -error allowable range in FIG. 3 are targets) (E7). Equivalent to the first verification process). If the difference between the theoretical holding ball and the holding ball is not within the allowable range despite being all issued (E7: NO), it is determined that there is an abnormality and an abnormality notification is given, and at the same time an abnormality signal is transmitted to the relay device 5 (E11). That is, the abnormality notification different from the abnormality notification at the time of real error determination is performed. In the case of all issuances, if it can be considered that the theoretical holding balls and holding balls are the same within an allowable range (E7: YES), the entire issuing process is performed in which all holding balls are issued ( E8). In this all issuance process, it is assumed that the player is likely to have finished the game, and the issued management ID or the like is stored and issued in a coin ticket, and the management ID is initialized. The initialized management ID is stored as a previous management ID in a previous management ID storage area (not shown).

Next, each counter counter initializes the terminal storage area of FIG. 4 (E9), and then transmits a temporary replacement start signal to the relay device 5 (E10, see FIG. 10). When receiving the temporary replacement start signal (F8), the relay device 5 sets the temporary replacement flag to 1 (F9).
When the next player inserts money into the lending device 2 in order to receive the lending ball, a sales signal is output from the lending device 2, so that the relay device 5 performs sales in the signal reception process of FIG. When the signal is received (F3: YES), the sales balls are added (F4), and it is determined whether the temporary replacement flag is 1 (F5). When the temporary replacement flag is 1 (F5: YES), it is determined that there is a customer replacement (F6), and the temporary replacement flag is set to 0 (F7).

  On the other hand, each counter 3 can accept a coin card regardless of the management ID issuance status. When a coin card is accepted (A2: YES), a coin card acceptance process is executed (A9). ). In the possession ticket acceptance process shown in FIG. 14, it is determined whether there is a possession of the accepted possession ticket (hereinafter referred to as “reception possession coin ticket”) (C1), and if there is a possession (C1: YES). Whether the management ID has not been issued is determined (C2). In this case, since the management ID has not been issued (C2: YES), the player has moved to the table when the management ID is not issued and the holding ball with the ball number exceeding 0 is accepted. 4 as a management ID (C3), and added to the received holding ball, counting ball, payout ball, split ball, and theoretical holding ball of the received holding ticket. The area is updated (C4), and it is determined whether the management ID of the possession ticket is the same as the management ID before initialization (pre-management ID) (C5).

  Here, if the management ID of the Mochitama ticket is the same as the management ID before the initialization (C5: YES), a temporary replacement end signal is given assuming that the player has not moved the table and has taken a rest such as a toilet. It transmits to the relay apparatus 5 (refer FIG. 11), and stocks a possession ticket (C7). When receiving the temporary replacement end signal (F1: YES), the relay device 5 sets the temporary replacement flag to 0 (F7). On the other hand, if the management IDs are different (C5: NO), a player change signal is transmitted to the relay device 5 (C9, see FIG. 11), and the possession ticket is stocked (C7). When receiving the customer change signal (F2: YES), the relay device 5 determines that the customer change has occurred (F6), and sets the temporary change flag to 0 (F7).

When the management device 4 determines that the relay device 5 is a customer change as described above, the record No. of FIG. 3, record NO. As shown in FIG. 6, the records are divided by double lines.
FIG. 7 shows a jackpot history at the second level. In this example, 12 (= 7 + 2 + 3) jackpots and counting balls are 7500 (= 3300 + 1800 + 2400) balls, lending balls without sales, that is, payout balls are 2500 (= 500 + 1500 + 500) balls, and holding balls are 5000 ( 7500-2500). Further, “002001” is assigned as the management ID. Data (6) in FIG. 9 shows a state in which 1000 coins have been paid back after the possession ticket storing such data is inserted into the first series.

  Now, when the number of possession tickets stocked in each counter counter 3 is less than the prescribed number, this is notified by the surrounding display part 28a of the coin ticket insertion slot 28 of each counter counter 3. , The employee inserts a coin card with no coins into each counter 3. Each stand counter 3 stocks the possession ticket when the possession of the accepted possession ticket is 0 (C1: NO) (C7). Data (7) in FIG. 9 shows a state in which a stock possession voucher with a possession voucher ID “00245” is read. In this way, when a stocking ball ticket for stocking (with 0 coins) is accepted during business, the stocking ticket is simply replenished and there is no need to change the management ID.

Then, when 500 balls were further paid out, No. 1 in FIG. As shown in 4 records, 4000 balls were counted after 7 jackpots. Data (8) in FIG. 9 shows a state in which, after counting 4000 balls, the divided issue processing for 3000 balls among the holding balls is further performed.
The same player receives NO. As shown in 5 records, 3000 balls were counted after 5 jackpots. Data (9) in FIG. 9 shows a state in which, after counting 3000 balls, a divided issue process for 2000 balls is further performed.

Each counter 3 transmits an abnormal signal when the result of the above-mentioned divided issue processing (E3) indicates that the shared issue of the terminal storage area has exceeded the number of abnormal issues in the setting information of FIG. 3 (E5: YES). (See E6, FIG. 11). The data (10) in FIG. 9 shows a state in which the shared issue is 3 because the player has performed a divided issue operation of 1000 balls out of the balls.
Further, when the same player pays out 500 balls and performs the issue processing of all possessed balls (all issue processing), NO. Six records are confirmed, and the terminal storage area at this time is as shown in data (11) of FIG.

As a result of the next player borrowing 3500 yen of lending balls and playing a game, two jackpots are generated and 2000 balls are counted. Seven records are created, and the terminal storage area at that time is as shown in data (12) of FIG.
As described above, the player can continue the game by moving the table by inserting the ball card in which the number of balls is stored into each other counter 3.

  According to such an embodiment, each counter 3 issues a management ID that is different from the owning card ID in association with the owning card, and the receiving order is determined by the receiving process or the divided issuing process of the owning card. When the newest JGB card to be issued is replaced while the JGB is remaining, the association of management ID is updated from the JGB card before the replacement to the JGB card after the replacement. Because of this, while simplifying the structure of each counter 3 that issues the coin-to-ball ticket to issue the latest coin-to-ball ticket, it is possible to replenish the coin-to-ball ticket even while playing It is possible to appropriately manage game information (theoretical holding balls, game history, etc.) while improving the performance.

  In addition, because it is possible to execute a split issue process that issues a portion of the ball, the player can exchange a portion of the ball for drinks or cigarettes during the game, or share it with an acquaintance. Improves. In this case, since a new management ID is also issued to the separately issued coin cards, management equivalent to all issued coin cards can be performed. Furthermore, even if a coined ticket associated with a management ID is issued by divided issue, game information can be managed continuously with the same management ID.

Also, when executing issuance processing, the theoretical holding ball is issued in association with the holding ball ticket, and if the issuing processing is divided issue processing, the actual holding ball to be issued is the holding ball ticket as the theoretical holding ball. Since the theoretical possessed balls read from the separately issued coins are managed as game information, fraud detection by matching with actual coins can be performed appropriately. Further, when all the cards are issued, the theoretical holding balls and the actual holding balls are associated with the holding balls, so even if the player moves the table, it is possible to make a matching target including before moving the table. In addition, in the case of divided issuance, the actual possession balls are subtracted from the theoretical possession balls, and in this case as well, appropriate verification can be performed thereafter. Furthermore, since the management ID is set to an unissued state when the possessed ball becomes 0, even if the same player continues the game, when the retained ball becomes 0, Since the association with the management ID is once eliminated, the theoretical possession can be finely initialized, and appropriate fraud detection with little error can be performed.
Furthermore, since the abnormality notification is made when the number of divided issues corresponding to the management ID is equal to or greater than the number of abnormal issues, it is possible to identify a player who has repeatedly issued divided issues.

(Modification)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be modified or expanded as follows.
A management ID may also be associated with a membership card that is not a collection target in the same way as with a coin card.
It is only necessary to classify and associate the storage balls and the holding balls with the membership card and transfer the holding balls to the storage balls by using the storage button of each counter 3 or the like. The membership card possession balls may be handled in the same way as the possession ball of the possession ticket and may be added together, but the addition destination is the membership card, while the management ID may be updated as in the embodiment. .
Since there are cases where the management ID, the ball, or the like cannot be stored in the member card due to a rule or the like, the corresponding ball or the like may be specified by the ball history managed by the management device 4. Of course, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the management card 4 is also stored on the management device 4 side (that is, the number management using the management card ID as a key).

When the membership card is adopted, the card is not collected even if the possessed ball is equal to or less than the initialized possessed ball value, and may be continuously used without initializing the management ID.
In the case of using a so-called POS, which is an exchange device for exchanging prizes using the coins of the coin card as a consideration, the same processing as that for the counter may be performed. Of course, when issuing a new coin card without accepting a coin card by so-called manual input processing, a new management ID may be issued.
You may employ | adopt this plan in the system without each counter 3.
The jackpot history shown in FIG. 6 may be created for each jackpot. It should be noted that a centralized information display device (output means) such as a so-called data robot may receive a coin card and specify a management ID, and display or print FIG. 8 to provide it to the player.

As long as the holding card is a recording medium to be collected, not only a card-shaped recording medium but also a coin-type recording medium or the like may be used.
Real error determination may be performed without dealing with management ID management or split issue processing. In addition, real error determination is performed according to the detection of operation (during the operation of an operation timer that operates for a predetermined time (1 minute) every time an out signal or a start signal is received), or there is a theoretical ball or a ball This may be done on condition. In addition, a set value may be separately provided for the real error determination for the −error allowable range. Furthermore, ± may be collectively set to “−500 to 500” or the like for the error tolerance range.
Although the number of possessed balls is updated by an arithmetic expression, the number of retained balls may be directly specified. Of course, the same applies to the theory holding balls. In addition, the theoretical holding ball is specified by a game signal that can specify the theoretical holding ball, such as indirectly by a sales signal, an out signal, a safe signal, etc., or by specifying a holding signal that can be directly specified. If specified, it may be specified in any way.

In addition to adding the theoretical holding balls and holding balls of the received holding ticket to the holding memory area, the theoretical holding balls of the receiving holding ticket may be used as the theoretical holding balls of the holding memory area as they are.
The lending medium may include not only sales balls with cash as consideration, but also replay balls lent with consideration of valuable value such as savings.
The example of the initialization of the terminal storage area in FIG. 4 is shown in the case where the holding ball = initialized holding ball value as the starting point of the theoretical holding ball, and at the time of all issuing processes. The starting point may be determined according to the occurrence of game information such as sales balls and outs after reaching the holding value.

When associating the game history for each management ID as shown in FIG. 8, it is issued when a coin card is received in a state where the management ID is issued in consideration of forgetting to accept a coin card after moving the table. The game ID may be associated with the management ID of the possession ticket and the game history.
When the possessed ball becomes an initialized retained ball value and the management ID is initialized, other conditions (determination of a non-operating state such as not receiving a game signal for a predetermined time ex or more) may be added.
A part or all of the information processing performed by the relay device 5 may be performed by each counter 3 or the management device 4. Similarly, part of the information processing performed by the management device 4 may be performed by the relay device 5 or each counter.
