Description

  In the present invention, when the number of wins in the big winning opening during the big hit round reaches the upper limit, for example, the round is finished and the game information of the gaming machine that performs the release control of the next round is set as the management target The present invention relates to a game system.

When managing game information of a pachinko gaming machine (hereinafter referred to as a “game machine”), game information such as the number of difference balls in the jackpot is managed in order to adjust the area around the big prize opening that is open during the jackpot.
Since the diversification of specs of recent gaming machines has progressed and the number of rounds indicating the number of times of opening control of the big prize opening is different for each model, for example, in Patent Document 1, the number of hit balls and the payout in the big hit The correlation with the number of balls (for example, the yield rate) is obtained.
From the gaming machine side, it is a big hit, a signal that can specify the number of balls to be thrown in, the number of balls to be paid out, etc. is output, but a signal that can directly specify that a prize has been won is not output, so a big prize is won It is difficult to specify the number of winnings and the winning rate to the mouth as game information. Conventionally, as in Patent Document 1, it has been a matter of finding the winning rate and the number of difference balls during the big hit.

JP 2007-143846 A

  However, even if you manage the payout rate etc. during the big hit, the number of payout balls per winning prize for each model is different for each model due to diversification of specifications, even if the number of payout balls is the same Depending on the specs, the frequency of winning a prize at the big prize opening may differ, and the player may feel uncomfortable or may not feel it. In other words, it is difficult to directly identify the player's discomfort level simply by referring to the play rate, etc., and even though the player overlooks or feels uncomfortable adjustments, he / she appears more than necessary. I will increase the ball ratio.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is to indirectly inspect the game information even if a signal that can directly specify the number of winnings and the winning rate from the gaming machine side to the big winning opening is not output. An object of the present invention is to provide a game system that can be specified and managed with game information indicating the degree of comfort or discomfort of the player as a management target.

In the present invention, as a condition for ending a round, which is one unit for controlling the opening of a big winning opening during a big hit, a plurality of types of ending conditions including at least a maximum number of winning a prize winning opening during a round are set.

Figure showing jackpot information settings The figure which shows an example of game history A figure showing an example of totaling by gaming machine Diagram showing an example of totaling by model Flow chart showing game history creation processing

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing the overall configuration of a game system. A lending machine 2 corresponding to the gaming machine 1 is installed in the game hall, and a management device 3 (corresponding to input means, game information specifying means, setting means, and management means) is installed in the management room. The relay device 4 is connected to two gaming machines 1, two lending machines 2 and a management device 3 via a LAN 5. The management device 3 manages the game data of the gaming machine 1 by receiving the gaming signal transmitted from the gaming machine side (the gaming machine 1, the lending machine 2, etc.) via the relay device 4. Although omitted in FIG. 1, several hundred gaming machines 1 are actually managed by the management device 3.

  The gaming machine 1 performs a lottery lottery in accordance with the winning at the first starting port 6 or the second starting port 7, and based on the lottery result, changes in symbols due to so-called special symbols (special symbols) are displayed on the liquid crystal display unit (object) 8 And generate a jackpot according to the result. The upper limit of the so-called holding balls is four each, and if the start winning is made during the holding, the upper limit is held, and after the symbol change is finished, the held symbol variation is sequentially executed. The first start port 6 is a so-called “Jeso” type winning port where the winning rate does not change, while the second start port 7 is a so-called electric-chu type winning port where the winning rate fluctuates due to a regular drawing.

  The winning probability (probability of jackpot) of the jackpot lottery is 1/300. Among the jackpots, the ratio of jackpots that become probabilistic (probable) after the jackpot is 66.6% (2/3). The special winning opening 9 is opened according to the number of rounds (R). In addition, the upper limit winning number (upper limit number) of 1R is 8 and the upper limit opening time is 30 seconds. If either the upper limit number or the upper limit opening time is satisfied (when the end condition is satisfied), 1R Exit. R corresponding to the jackpot includes 5R and 16R, and the distribution ratio is 25% for 5R and 75% for 16R, and is distributed by jackpot lottery.

  During the probability change, the jackpot probability is improved to 1/30 and the winning rate to the second start port 7 is improved. Since the probability change continues until the next big hit, it continues until the big hit (ordinary big hit) that becomes the normal state (normal) after the big hit occurs, and when the normal big hit occurs, it returns to the normal state.

The gaming machine 1 outputs the following game signals.
Out signal = a signal that can specify the number of used media (out) output from an out BOX for collecting used balls. 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 media (safe) output from the gaming machine 1. Since 1 pulse is output for 10 payout balls, “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 winnings to the start ports 6 and 7 output from the gaming machine 1. Since one pulse is output per winning prize to the first starting opening 6 or the second starting opening 7, “start signal number × 1” is specified as the start (S, start winning prize). In addition, a signal that can specify the number of symbol variations (the number of accessory operations, the number of unit games) in the liquid crystal display unit 8 that varies (acts) due to the start winning may be used as the start signal.
-Jackpot signal = a signal that can specify the jackpot period 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.
Probability change signal = a signal that can specify a special state (Akanaka) 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 reduction signal) that is level-output during the time when the winning rate of the second start port 7 is improved. Further, a period in which neither the jackpot signal nor the probability variation signal is received is specified as the normal state.

  The lending machine 2 pays out a ball from the payout opening 11 to the tray 12 of the gaming machine 1 based on the specified value, with a coin inserted into the coin insertion slot 10, and relays a sales signal along with the payout. Transmit to device 4. The touch panel type information display unit 13 of the lending machine 2 can also display lending information and various game information related to the corresponding gaming machine 1.

The management device 3 can be set with jackpot information setting for specifying information on the number of winning prizes, which will be described later, and is set by referring to the specifications of the gaming machine 1 for each model. Separately, a well-known model setting for grouping the gaming machines 1 by model is performed.
FIG. 2 shows jackpot information setting, in which the following items are set.
R = name (number of rounds) when the number of rounds is specified.
-T1Y range = T1Y (number of balls in the jackpot) to be referred to when specifying R. It should be noted that R may be determined by setting for out (T1 out), safe (T1 safe), jackpot time (clocking period from jackpot start to end), and the like.
-Grand prize payout (corresponding to the number of T1 prizes set) = total value of the number of big prize winning prizes (upper limit number) which is a condition for completing the round. In addition, although the upper limit number of 1R of the target gaming machine 1 is set to 8 and multiplied by R, the upper limit number is changed according to the specified R (for example, a large number of big winning holes are provided and opened every R). You may set the sum total of the upper limit number for every R so that it may respond | correspond to the gaming machine 1 (for example, the winning opening is different).
-T1 winning (corresponding to the number set for payout at the big prize opening) = the number of payout balls per winning to the big prize opening 9. You may set for every R to respond | correspond to the gaming machine 1 which fluctuates with the specified R.
-T1 safe (corresponding to the number of T1 safe settings) = the number of balls to be paid out by winning a winning game with a big hit when the number of winnings in the winning box 9 is a set number of T1 winning prizes. Since it is calculated | required by T1 prize x grand prize payout, it is good also as specifying by setting both.
Allowable winning rate (corresponding to a winning rate allowable range) = allowable range of a total winning rate (corresponding to correction determination information) described later. If the total winning rate is equal to or higher than the upper limit of this set value, “○” is described as “appropriate”, which will be described later, and if it is less than the lower limit, “×”, this range is determined as having not been won as much as necessary. If it is within the range, “△” indicating that it is within the allowable range is used.
S payout (S payout set number) = the number of payout prize balls per winning to the first start port 6. You may set with respect to the 2nd starting port 7. FIG.

The management device 3 manages the game history for each jackpot for each gaming machine 1, and specifies each piece of information for each jackpot as will be described later.
FIG. 3 shows an example of the game history, and the following items are set.
Normal information = game information in a normal (Amanaka) state until the jackpot occurrence, out (B out) is the number of shots (out) specified by the out signal, S is the start (B Start, starting prizes).
-Jackpot information = game information during jackpot, safe (T1 safe) other than out (T1 out) is the number of payout balls (safe) specified by the safe signal, T1Y is T1 safe-T1 out, R is T1Y and T1Y The number of rounds identified by comparing the range.
-Safe difference information = the difference between safe and actual safe when winning up to the maximum number of winning prizes 9 and not winning up to the upper limit number and not being able to win the winning prize 9 (no winning prizes) ) Is game information related to a T1 safe difference that is safe. TS (expected value for winning) is T1 out expected value = T1 out × normal state S rate (corresponding to expected payout rate ratio, S rate will be described later), TS safe (expected payout value) is TS Corresponding safe = TS × S payout setting number, setting is T1 safe setting number, setting value corresponding to R, difference (T1 safe difference) = T1 safe setting number + TS safe−T1 safe.
-Number of winning prizes = game information related to the number of winnings at the winning prize opening 9, and non-winning (non-very winning prizes) is the number of winnings for non-winning prizes = T1 safe difference / set number of payouts for winning prizes. The setting is a set value corresponding to R in the number of T1 winning setting, and the winning (the number of winning a prize) is the assumed number of winnings to the big winning opening 9 = T1 winning setting number−the number of non-big winnings.
-Winning rate information = Game information related to winning rates during the jackpot, the winning rate is the ratio of the number of winnings to the T1 out = the number of winnings ÷ T1 out, the total winning rate is the winning rate during the jackpot including the TS = (TS + number of big prizes) ÷ T1 out, appropriate is the result of comparing the total prize rate and the acceptable range of the prize rate. It should be noted that non-winning rate = non-large winning number / T1 out and total non-winning rate = (T1 out- (large winning number + TS)) / T1 out may be managed.

The total column and the total column of the average column also indicate the total value or average value classified according to whether the normal information is normal or sweet, and the other jackpot information indicates the total value or average value classified by the specified R.
The total column of the winning rate information is the winning rate information that is divided and aggregated for each R, the average column is the overall winning rate information that is not classified for each R, and the “proper” totaling column is “△” in the corresponding jackpot The “proper rate” that indicates the ratio of a certain number of jackpots. In addition, you may manage the "inappropriate rate" which shows the ratio of "(circle)" and "x" respectively or in total.
The total column for normal information is the total for each state (normal state or sweet), the average column is the S rate by status (S ÷ out), the R total column is the jackpot number for each R, and the average column is the ratio (Number of jackpots per R ÷ total number of jackpots).

The identification information in FIG. 3 (information indicated by hatched areas, the same applies hereinafter) is normal information, the game state until the jackpot occurrence is normal or sweet, "proper" is "○" or "x", other jackpot information, etc. Indicates identification according to the specified R (16R).
In this embodiment, the model A that generates 5R and 16R as a big hit is targeted, and two Rs, 5R and 16R, are set. However, one or three or more Rs are set according to specifications. Also good.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.
In addition to the normal process for managing the game information of each gaming machine 1, the management device 3 executes a game history creation process in connection with the present invention.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the game history creation process. This game history creation process is a process for managing jackpot information. Although not shown in the flowchart, when the jackpot signal and the probability variation signal are not received, it is determined that the signal is normal, and the normal out and start (S) are managed according to the input of the out signal or the start signal. When the probability variation signal is received, it is determined that it is in the middle, and the out and S in the middle are managed according to the input of the out signal or the start signal.

The management device 3 determines whether or not the reception of the jackpot signal has been started (S1), and when the reception of the jackpot signal has started (S1: YES), has received the out signal (S2), or has received the safe signal (S4), it is determined whether or not the jackpot signal has been received (S7). When an out signal is received from the gaming machine side (S2: YES), T1 out is added (S3), when a safe signal is received (S4: YES), after adding T1 safe (S5), T1Y is calculated (S6).
With the above operation, it is possible to obtain T1Y which is the player's winning ball during the jackpot.

When the reception of the jackpot signal is finished (S7: YES), T1Y is compared with the T1Y range in the jackpot information setting of FIG. 2 to specify R as the number of rounds (S8). The NO. In the example shown in 1 record, since 1160 which is T1Y corresponds to 16R (801 to 2000) shown in FIG. 2, 16R is specified.
Next, the T1 safe setting number and the winning setting number corresponding to the specified R are specified (S9). The NO. In the example shown in one record, 1536 which is the T1 safe setting number corresponding to 16R and 128 which is the T1 winning setting number are set in the jackpot information setting of FIG.

  Next, the safe difference information, information on the number of winning prizes, the winning percentage, and the total winning percentage are specified (S10). In the safe difference information, in order to obtain TS (theoretical value) that is the number of winnings to the first start port 7 during the big hit, an average winning rate (S rate) is required. In this case, the total number of winning-outs is 1800 at this time, and the total number of winnings is 108, and the information is for a normal time that does not include the information for the middle time. 1800 = 0.06 (= 6%) is obtained. Since the T1 out is 380 and the normal average winning rate (S rate) is 6%, the TS which is the expected winning value in the jackpot is T1 out × S rate = 380 × 0.06 = 22.8. Become. In this case, the NO. One record TS (= 22.9) is different from the above-mentioned TS (= 22.8) because the numerical value shown in FIG. This is because the calculation is performed using 6.04%, which is a normal average S rate at the time of creating 11 records. That is, each time a record is created according to the occurrence of a jackpot, the normal average S rate changes. Therefore, each information of the calculated record is recalculated using the average S rate after the change. . In addition, since information on the state in which the second start port 7 is continuously opened and closed due to time reduction is included in the sweet taste, only normal information is used as the average S rate.

  Hereinafter, NO. The explanation of each numerical value at the time of creating one record will be made assuming that the normal average S rate is 6.04%, that is, TS = 22.9 for the sake of simplicity of explanation. The TS safe (theoretical value) during the jackpot is TS safe = TS × S payout setting number = 22.9 × 3 = 68.8. At this time, since the setting (theoretical value) of 16R is 1536, the number of payouts (theoretical value) during the jackpot is T1 safe setting + TS safe = 1536 + 68.8 = 1604.8. Since T1 safe (actual value) is 1540, the difference between the theoretical value and the actual value is T1 safe set number + TS safe−T1 safe = 1604.8−1540 = 64.8.

  Since it is common to pay out according to the theoretical value during the jackpot, 64.8, which is the difference between the above theoretical value and the actual value, did not win the big prize slot 9 during the jackpot. Can be considered as Accordingly, when calculating how many non-winnings to the big winning opening 9 corresponds to 64.8 (pieces), non-winning = T1 safe difference / large winning opening payout setting number = 64.8 ÷ 12 = 5. 4 (times). In other words, the number of winning prizes, which is the number of winning prizes in the big winning opening 9 during the jackpot, can be regarded as 5.4 times less than the maximum number of winning prizes of 128, and the value is 128-5. .4 = 122.6 (123) times. Therefore, the big winning rate which is the winning rate to the big winning opening 9 is the number of big wins / T1 out = 12.6 / 380 = 0.323 (= 32.3%). In addition, the total winning rate including TS, which is the number of winnings in the big hit, is (22.9 + 122.6) ÷ 380 = 0.383 (= 38.3%).

Next, the total winning rate and the allowable winning rate are collated to specify appropriateness (S11). In other words, since the total winning rate of 38.3% corresponds to 35 to 40%, which is an allowable winning rate, the appropriateness is “△”, the satisfaction level of the player is medium, and it can be said that it is also an allowable range for the game hall. .
Next, a new record is created (S12), and as described above, each time a jackpot is generated, the safe difference information, the winning prize information, and the winning rate information are obtained based on the normal information and the jackpot information.

Then, the management device 3 creates a total for each gaming machine in which information obtained by totaling the gaming histories in FIG. 3 is tabulated for each gaming machine according to an operation by the manager.
FIG. 4 shows an example of tabulation by gaming machine. “Appropriate = Δ” indicates the jackpot number where the appropriateness is Δ, and other than that is the same as FIG. Note that the total winning rate is identified and displayed so that it can be specified whether it is equal to or higher than the upper limit value or lower than the lower limit value as compared with the winning rate allowable range.

  Referring to FIG. 4, when the total winning percentages of the 2nd and 3rd units among the illustrated 1st, 2nd and 3rd units are identified and displayed, the average number of non-large prizes is as follows. It is easy to grasp that there are few 2nds and many 3rds. Accordingly, it can be determined that the nail adjustments in the second and third stages should be performed with reference to the first one. In this case, in order to give priority to the player's discomfort, if the total winning rate should be set high even if the number of balls is increased, only the 3rd base needs to be adjusted. You may adjust it.

Further, the management device 3 creates a model-based total that is obtained by counting the totals for each gaming machine of FIG. 4 in units of models in accordance with establishment of a predetermined total condition such as an operation by the administrator or a predetermined time.
FIG. 5 shows an example of model-based aggregation. The maximum R (16R) set in the jackpot information setting in FIG. 2 is set as “corresponding R”, and the tabulation by gaming machine in FIG. 4 is extracted for each model. In addition, FIG. 4 is stored for a plurality of days (for example, one year) including game information that is not illustrated, such as a total value, etc., and in the model-based tabulation of FIG. The game information for the extraction period is totaled. Note that “corresponding R” may be appropriately selected without being maximized. In this case, it is desirable to be able to select by model.

  Although the average T1Y and the like are different when comparing the models A to C exemplified in the model-based tabulation of FIG. 5, the average S rate and the T1 payout rate (T1 safe ÷ T1 out) indicating the payout rate during the jackpot are almost the same. Since it is the same, it was determined that the adjustment was of the same level in the past. However, if attention is paid to the model B and the model C by the identification display of the total winning rate, it can be understood that the model B is considerably lower than the other models in terms of the total winning rate, the large winning rate, and the appropriate rate. It can be understood that the price is quite high, the model B is a model that is likely to cause discomfort to the player due to the big hit game, and the model C is a model that is difficult to give.

  That is, since model C is a model that does not give a sense of discomfort even if it suppresses the appearance of a hit with a big hit, adjustments that make the jackpot information such as T1Y or T1 payout rate disadvantageous to the player may be performed. It can be grasped by referring to the total winning rate etc. In addition, since model B is a model that is likely to give discomfort even if the winning ball is secured, it is desirable to make the jackpot information even more advantageous, but to what extent after referring to the total winning rate etc. You can see if it should be advantageous. When adjusting the overall profit rate in consideration of these factors, it is better to make the model C more advantageous for the other S ratios and the model B for the disadvantage.

In order to be able to easily grasp the effects, models A to C, in addition to the corresponding R, assume a model that is different from 12, 15 and 10 in order to pay out the big prize mouth, and vary the other big prize rates and total prize rates. The model-specific tabulation in FIG. 5 is illustrated assuming that the elements such as the upper limit number in 1R and the S-type payout are the same as the factors related to other game information such as S rate and base. However, since these elements are actually different for each model or gaming machine, the big winning rate and the total winning rate obtained by consolidating these variable factors are given more importance.
Of course, other game information shown in the game history of FIG. 3 such as “TS safe” including the game machine information of FIG. 4 may be counted. Each information shown in FIGS. 2 to 5 can be printed out in addition to the display.

According to such an embodiment, the following effects can be produced.
The number of T1 safe settings, which is the maximum number of winnings that will be the condition for closing (rounding) the big winning opening 9 on the spec, is managed according to the model by associating it with the T1 out, which is a big hit, out. Even if a signal for directly specifying the number of winnings and the winning rate to the big winning opening 9 is not output, it is possible to manage the game information that can grasp the degree of comfort during the big hit of the player for each model.
The value obtained by subtracting T1 safe from the value obtained by adding the TS safe and the T1 safe setting number is divided by the number of payouts for the big prize, and the number of non-wins in the big prize 9 is obtained, or the number of big prizes is T1 out. Since the big winning rate is obtained by dividing, the winning situation to the big winning opening 9 can be directly grasped.

Since the total winning rate is calculated by dividing the total winning number obtained by adding TS and the big winning number setting by T1 out, the winning rate during the jackpot is determined in consideration of the winning ports other than the big winning port 9. Directly possible.
Since an allowable range is set for the total winning percentage, and whether or not the allowable range is deviated is displayed, it is possible to identify game information that the player feels comfortable or uncomfortable during the jackpot. It becomes easy.

(Other embodiments)
The payout expected value ratio can be specified by S rate x S payout setting number, but the normal payout rate (base = safe ÷ out) is managed, and the base is set as the expected payout ratio and multiplied by T1 out The T1 safe difference may be obtained by a TB safe similar to the safe. In this case, TS may be obtained separately and the total winning rate may be specified.
Although both the total winning rate and the large winning rate are set as management targets, only one of them may be set as a management target. In addition, the total winning rate or the like may be all or a part of the winning award other than the large winning opening 9 as long as at least one winning opening (for example, a starting opening capable of specifying the number of winnings) is targeted. In this case, the expected winning value of the start port from which a game signal indicating the number of winnings is output can be specified by the S rate or the like, but BY = base-S rate × for other winning ports that do not output a gaming signal indicating the number of winnings. The winning rate can be specified by dividing the payout rate specified by the S payout by the number of winning balls in the other winning mouths (average value such as a weighted average based on the expected winning rate if there are multiple types). What is necessary is just to set the value assumed by the winning rate or the winning rate. Further, T1 out-TS may be used as T1 out for obtaining the big winning rate. In other words, in the configuration in which the first start opening 6 is provided above the big winning opening 9, the ball that won the first starting opening 6 will not win the big winning opening 9, so that such an out is excluded. By doing so, the reliability of the winning rate information can be improved.

A certain effect can be obtained only by managing the big winning rate shown by T1 winning set number / T1 out without taking into account the TS and the non-big winning number and not taking the safe difference information as a management target. Similarly, when other game information such as the total non-winning rate is managed, the T1 winning set number may be adopted instead of the large winning number. Further, if the T1 winning set number and the T1 out are output in a comparable manner, for example, if they are managed in association with each other, it is not necessary to manage the large winning rate.
It is desirable to set the game information at that time as the S rate or base (reference information) to be referred to when specifying the T1 safe difference or the like. It is necessary to update the T1 safe difference and the like, which may increase the processing load. Therefore, the T1 safe difference or the like may be specified collectively at a specific timing such as when the store is closed, or a past result value such as the previous day or a fixed value specified by an input operation may be set.

In FIG. 4 and the like, it is classified by model, but if setting information based on specifications is set for each model, it is not always necessary to classify by model.
When R is specified with reference to T1Y or the like, if a signal that can directly specify R is output from the gaming machine side, it may be specified by the game signal.
T1Y is counted indirectly for out and safe, and indirectly specified by the difference, but directly from the game signal for all illustrated game information, such as directly specifying from the out signal and the safe signal, or indirectly It may be specified in any way.

The game history of FIG. 3 is premised, that is, the game information is specified for each jackpot and the winning rate information and the like are managed. However, only the total value may be managed as in the case of the game machine total of FIG.
Although both the upper limit and the lower limit are set in the allowable range to be set, only one of the settings may be set. In addition, although the total winning rate is illustrated as an appropriate determination target, the allowable range is set with the non-winning number, the large winning number, the large winning rate, the non-winning rate, or the total non-winning rate, etc. as the determination target, and the total winning rate Similarly to the above, a display (◯, Δ, x, coloring, etc.) that can specify whether or not the tolerance has been exceeded may be used.
All numerical values, items, etc. in the embodiments are examples, and any numerical values, items, etc. may be adopted. In addition, for convenience of explanation, all the game information such as TS safe that becomes the calculation process when calculating the information on the number of winning prizes to be managed is shown. However, if the game information to be managed is appropriately selected, all are managed. There is no need to do.

A gaming machine other than the pachinko gaming machine exemplified as the target gaming machine can also be employed. In addition, although the upper limit number and the upper limit opening time are exemplified as conditions for ending the round, the upper limit is set such that, for example, a large winning opening is opened a plurality of times during one round, and the opening number becomes the upper limit opening number (for example, 18 times). If a condition other than the number is set as the round end condition, any condition may be used as the round end condition, including combining a plurality of conditions.
A part of the information processing performed by the management device 3 may be performed by the relay device 4 or the lending machine 2 or the like. In addition, the installation location, configuration, and the like are not particularly limited, such as game information of gaming machines installed in a plurality of game halls being managed.

  In the drawings, 1 is a gaming machine, 2 is a lending machine, and 3 is a management device (input means, game information specifying means, setting means, management means).
